Disclaimer: don't sue me for being a fan of the Incredibles. It's not against the law. If it is you'll have to stop making movies and loose hundreds of thousands of dollars. So there.

A/N: I'm going to try and incorporate Jack-Jack now, I realized last night that I had completely neglected him. I'm going to try and get his age as close to right as possible too, again, don't yell at me for sucking at math. Blame the math teacher.

Zacathia

Zac sat across from Buddy, sitting in her stretch limo. It was more of a van, but the dealer said it was a limo, so that's what she thought of it as.

Zac had called the Incredibles, all of them, and they were going to meet her at her complex. Mr. Incredible and his youngest son, J.J were the most eager to meet him. Mr. Incredible wanting to beat the living snot out of him, and Jack-Jack wanting to meet the man that had attempted to kidnap him but had supposedly died in the process.

"So. I'm going to take a wild guess at what you were doing there. Building an army so that you could try and take on Mr. Incredible again? But in the process, you met up with Mirage, and got her two son's involved?" Zac said. Buddy nodded.

"That sounds about right." He said, nodding blankly. She had a feeling that he was keeping something from her.

"I can see from the look on her face that you're not telling me the whole story." Zac said, smiling. Buddy looked astounded and confused. "Yes, I had Chad give me my sight back. He did it very willingly too."

"So these five years, you've been able to see, and I'm still living in total darkness?" Buddy asked, getting really angry.

"Yup. You would have gotten it back too, had you not run off so quickly." Zac smiled. It wasn't true, but it made Buddy mad all the same.

Zac decided to let him stew now, as they pulled into the tunnel that led to her complex. It was underground, so that no one could stumble upon it accidentally. That would be a bad thing.

Jack-Jack Parr

Jack-Jack sat at a long table next to his father. They were both in their supersuits, and were waiting for one of his dad's colleagues. She had called them, claiming she had found Syndrome again.

"Dad, wasn't Syndrome supposed to have died, twice?" Jack-Jack asked.

"I was supposed to have died, but here I am." Bob said, smiling. Jack-Jack was well aware of the stories his family had about their adventures on Nomanisan. Dash hadn't let him forget it. He wished he had been old enough to go with them, and then Dash would have shut up about it. But then Violet wouldn't have been able to trap him in all those force fields until he apologized.

"Why didn't mom, Vi, and Dash come?" Jack-Jack asked.

"Because Vi and Dash are busy with jobs and patrolling the city, and your mom didn't want to come." Bob explained. Jack-Jack sighed. He couldn't wait till next year, when he was sixteen. Then his parents would let him go out on patrol with Dash or Violet. Violet had tried to talk sense into their parents, but they wouldn't budge, especially their mom.

Just then, two people walked in. They didn't look much older than Jack-Jack, which surprised him. He had expected Syndrome to be in his forties, not twenties! And the girl looked to be around Syndrome's age.

"Sit down and shut up." The girl said, shoving the man who Jack-Jack guessed to be Syndrome into a chair. Syndrome was wearing a straitjacket, to prevent him from running away.

"I'll get out and you know it." He spat back.

"I told you to shut up! Do you want me to get Bill in here to MAKE you shut up?" She threatened. Syndrome obviously didn't want this Bill character to come in, so he quickly closed his mouth.

"Sorry about that Bob, he tried to escape when he got out of the car." The lady explained. She turned her attention to Jack-Jack. "You must be Jack-Jack. The reason behind all this." She smiled. "My name is Zacathia. Call me Zac though, everyone does."

"Hello." Jack-Jack said, shaking Zacs outstretched hand. "I'm sorry if this is rude, but I expected you to be older." Jack-Jack said, blushing as everyone started laughing. This seemed to be a joke, so he smiled.

"That's a long story. Let's just say me and Syndrome-"

"Buddy. Syndrome died."

"Me and Buddy had a little, disagreement with some old friends." She finished. Jack-Jack nodded, sitting down. These friends must have been supers.

"Now. Onto business. Where'd you find him?" Bob asked.

"In the house across from Mirage. Just like I knew, he was right under our noses." Zac smiled.

"So Mirage had to know about this." Bob said. The door opened, to reveal another man. He looked really old, with his hair falling out and gray, and his face had a bored expression on it.

"Sorry I'm late. Had some important business to attend to." The man said. Zac turned around and shook his hand too.

"It's okay, we've just started talking Rick." She said.

"Good to see you again Bob, too bad it's always under these circumstances." Rick said, sitting across from Bob. "Hey Jack-Jack."

"Hello sir." Jack-Jack replied, shy. This man might recognize him, but Jack-Jack had no clue who this guy was.

"As I was about to say before you arrived Rick, yes Bob, I think that Mirage did know about this. One of her son's was hanging out around Buddy when we arrived." Zac said. Buddy smiled at this, having been quiet for a while.

"How did you survive?" Rick asked him.

"Quick thinking." Buddy replied.

"Buddy…" Zac said threateningly.

"Fine! I undid my cape, and then used my Zero-point energy to stop the blades in the turbine from moving, then the Jet exploded, and I used the rocket boot that was still working-" He stopped momentarily to glare at Jack-Jack "-To slow my falling. I hid in a park, but then some kid found me. Zacathia can tell you the rest." Zac smiled. She did know what happened next.

Rick looked at Zac. He obviously didn't know what happened. It had been Zac that had found him first.

"Well, I found him in a children's park, after a kid found Buddy, called the cops, who called me. I never had time to call and tell you Bob, sorry. I had him in my hospital wing for a few months, then moved him to a high-security cell." Zac explained.

"So he's been alive for years and no one thought to tell us?" Bob said sounding seriously peeved.

"Only people that were watching him were allowed to know. That's why we had Zac's memory erased. Her friends just decided to make her go with him for some reason. They wouldn't tell me why." Rick said. "Sorry Bob, you weren't watching him, so you weren't allowed to know."

"Why? Wouldn't it be better if dad knew? Then he could help!" Jack-Jack asked.

"He wouldn't watch me he'd try and kill me." Buddy smiled impishly at Bob.

"Buddy here's right. That's why we didn't tell him, we knew that when Buddy tried to kidnap you your dad had tried to 'rid the world' of him so to say. We figured that if he knew Buddy was alive, he'd try and finish the job. Your dad can be incredible stubborn sometimes." Zac said, looking at Jack-Jack kindly.

"I would have done no such thing." Bob said.

"Yes you would have, you hate me because I didn't have powers." Buddy said to Bob, wobbling as he stood up. Bob rose to a standing position. He had been waiting for this for a long time.

"Buddy, sit." Zac said, pointing her index finger at Buddy. He sat down quickly with a sour look on his face. Bob followed suit, but was ready to stand up at a moments notice.

"Come on! I can take him!" Buddy said, trying to stand up again, unsuccessfully. Zac was using her powers to keep him sitting.

"Maybe if your powers included strength stronger than his, otherwise you couldn't. And I know your powers and they don't." Zac said, opening the door. A man walked in, dressed as a guard.

"What's the problem Zac?" He asked. His voice had the remnants of what sounded like an English accent.

"Buddy won't shut up." She said, smiling. The man smiled back, and walked up to Buddy. Buddy started squirming in his seat, trying desperately to get away, but wasn't able to.

"No! Bill, don't! I'll be quiet! Get away from me!" He screeched, trying to bite the man's hand.

"You couldn't shut up from the day you were born." Zac said, smiling. She snapped her fingers, and Buddy stopped moving altogether. Only his eye's moved, much like when he had someone in his Zero-point energy beam. Bill silently went to work, using his power to silence Buddy permanently.

"There. He can't even squeak." Bill said, standing up. Buddy was glaring at Bill, staring daggers at him.

"Too bad we had Chad give him his sight back. But he needs to be able to see, it's a sin he took it in the first place." Zac said happily.

"We took it so that he couldn't accidentally get his memories back. You know that. Or at least you did then, Lisa must have left out a few memories by accident." Rick explained.

"Maybe we should get Mitchell in here, give him a go at Buddy. He's right outside the door." Bill said, smiling. Zac looked at Rick for permission, he nodded slowly, as if unsure if letting them have fun at Buddy's expense was a good thing to do.

Mitchell must have been listening, because he walked silently into the room, not looking at anyone or anything but the floor. Buddy was staring at Mitchell, trying to will him to stay away. Everyone but Jack-Jack knew what was going to happen, so they were all excited to see what Mitchell would do.
