XVIII. INTRODUCING INVISION

Tuesday afternoon once again found Violet waiting for the bell and devising a plan. Once again she needed a way to reach Edna's mansion without her parents' knowledge. She was lucky to receive just a talking to that morning and not getting grounded for yesterday's method of transportation, in the meantime though she was banned from using her powers anywhere outside the home or other secret, super locations. It wasn't really a punishment though since the same was true for Dash; in truth it was more than they were ever allowed before the Syndrome incident but they'd both gotten use to the free reign they'd been allowed since that time. 'Today maybe I'll just take the bus,' she thought to herself as the bell rang. She quickly left the class and headed for the door.

As Violet exited the door she was stopped by two men dressed in suits. "Are you Violet Parr?" one asked her. She just stared at him. He asked again even more forcefully. "Are you Violet Parr?"

"Uh, yes," she said finally.

"You need to come with us," the man said as the two men pulled her away in a rather rough manner.

"Hey let go!" Violet yelled at them preparing to zap a force field if necessary but she was quickly interrupted.

"Edna Mode has sent an escort for you," he said gesturing to a waiting limousine.

"Oh," said Violet. She stopped struggling and crawled into the limo.

After about fifteen minutes the mansion came in sight. 'Hah! My way was faster,' she thought. The car then strolled up to the front door and stopped. 'Well at least it was easier to get in this time.'

She climbed out of the limo where she was instantly greeted by Edna at the front door. "Hello, dahling! So nice to see zou again. School vent vell I trust?"

"Hello, uh yes," Violet said.

"Yes, yes, yes of course it did," Edna interrupted, "zou are Invision. Now come along. I'm sorry to rush zou dear but I have over fifty orders for new super suits, but don't vorry I had more zan enough time to complete zou suit and zou vardrobe." She hastily went through the process for the security system. "I called your mother and told her I vas bringing zou down here to pick up zou new clothes but I did not mention ze suit as promised." She now reached the microphone. "Edna Mode – and guest," she said. The two walked in and sat down. "Cream and sugar?"

"Yes, thank you."

"I may be busy but I alvays make time for tea," Edna said with a grin. "Now your suit," Edna started. The suit came out. It was a deep purple accented in black along all the seems. The black boots came halfway up the thighs and the black gloves came to the elbows. The waist was also black but was accentuated by a purple pack that rested on the hips. The chest dropped way down in a black diamond that was broad in the shoulders and continued down the back side. It was ornamented in the middle of the chest by a purple V formed by a lightning bolt striking to the left and a line rising out of the bottom of it both outlined in gold. The mask although like her old one, was laced in purple threads. "Ze suit is made exactly as it vas before to turn invisible as zou do." The demonstration started. "I've also created a bag that vill conceal objects up to five point six three two one liters." The machine placed a key in the bag which also turned invisible and concealed its location. "Ze primary focus vas to disassociate zou from zou former identity so I have changed ze color scheme and pattern, given zou a new logo, and created zese." A smoky gray trench coat and oversized fedora came out. "Ze coat and hat vill add to zou mystery allowing zou to valk around in zou suit vith less conspicuity zan any other super hero anyvhere. Naturally of course it vill also disappear as zou do and zey both vill allow zou to hide any thing you can fit under zem just like zou bag."

"Wow!" Violet whispered. 'This is exactly what I need.' "Oh E thank you so much! How can I ever repay you?"

"Fehk! Repay me nothing dahling. I love such vork and ze challenge is so exhilarating. Zou just make zou plan vork. Now zou run along I have much vork to do," she said as she showed her out. "Your clothes are vaiting in ze car – shirts, shoes, skirts, pants, everything. I also made zou a backpack that vill vork like zou suit's bag."
"Oh, thank you! Thank you so much!"

"Yes. Yes dahling. Now go before your mother starts to suspect anything; but do drop in again dahling, I do enjoy our visits." Edna closed the door and Violet hopped in the limo and headed home dreaming of how her plan was coming together.
