I apologize for the long time between updates. I had to pick up an extra job over the past few months with my move coming up at the end of the month. After the move is over and done, I'll have more time to update. If anything, it's given me time to come up with some story twists that will be coming up soon. Thanks for the patience.
"I see...maybe three...four guards tops."
Helen Parr surveyed the scene with a pair of high powered binoculars that she snagged before they arrived. The building was enormous, but time had taken it's toll on it. Busted windows, crumbling infrastructure...perfect place for a hideout she thought. Helen lowered the binoculars and began to think through a plan. She turned to check and see how Livewire was doing. The girl had been quiet on the whole trip out to Canada. Rick wasn't kidding...the girl was very shy. Most Supers use the costume as a way to let loose, to show a side of them they don't when their mild mannered alter egos are in charge. Helen had never seen the girl's alter ego, but she was pretty sure that there wasn't much difference. If she was going to crack Livewire, she'd better do it now. She'd need her to let loose if anything happened.
"Well," Helen thought to herself. "Here goes nothing."
Helen turned to face the girl again, but she was gone.
"Where'd she go?" Helen pondered.
Helen turned to find Livewire approaching the guards on her own. She reacted on instinct and swung as fast as she could towards the situation. The guards already had the girl surrounded.
"Where do you think you're going little girl?" asked one of the guards. Livewire didn't appreciate the cocky tone in his voice.
"Lay down your weapons...I'm giving you one second."
The guards responded with a barrage of laughter.
"One..." Livewire extended her hand towards the guards and let loose with multiple bolts of lightning taking them all out right as Helen landed next to her.
"Maybe there's more to her than meets the eye," Helen thought to herself. Livewire approached the door to the building and slowly opened it. Helen started to worry about the whole thing. It was easy...almost too easy...
"Is something wrong Mrs. Incredible?"
Helen looked at the machinery that was scattered around the building. For a building that was in such horrid condition, everything else was kept in perfect shape.
"Something just doesn't seem right here," she responded.
All of a sudden the machinery sprang to life as the door behind them slammed shut. Helen tried to force it open, but it was no use. Livewire worked to short circuit the machines by blasting them with electricity..with no success. Helen started to feel dizzy and sick. She turned to find Livewire on the ground breathing heavily trying to pull herself up. It was no use...she collapsed. Helen made a last second attempt to break through the door...it was too late. It was all a set up. The last thing she'd see was the door opening as more guards scrambled in right before she passed out.
