Thanks to all the reviewers. I'm trying to keep from getting too much action, but I felt that the first chapter should introduce a few little things that were important to me.
Disclaimer: I don't own the Incredibles or the characters within, including Invisigirl, though Blackfyre and Cerebris are mine.
Ch 2 Dark News
As the trio went out on their first patrol, a blip from inside Cerebris' costume alerted her to activity from Mirage's message pad. She stopped and pulled the pad out, calling her parents' attention to the device. As the words 'Look here' appeared on the pad, she smiled and a green line scanned over her face both ways. "Identity confirmed: Cerebris." Then, the device scanned around. "Location not clear. Identify companions."
Cerebris laughed at this. "Mommy and daddy. Blackfyre and Blacklight," she replied. The machine scanned the two and responded. "Identity confirmed: Blackfyre. Identity confirmed: Invisigirl. Identify Blacklight."
Blacklight was the one to reply to this. "It's me. Invisigirl. I've changed Super names to fit with the team. I'm Blacklight."
The device responded with a confirmation request on it's screen reading "BlacklightInvisigirl. Yes/No" Cerebris smiled. "Confirmed."
"Location clear." Then, Mirage's face appeared on the screen. She had changed a good deal in the years since Syndrome's falls, but least of all was her appearance. Perhaps she was a bit more age worn, with a few more frown lines, but that was all. "Hello, Cerebris. My message system informed me of the changes in costumes and identities. Quite interesting. I have news. More than just heroes have disappeared. Supers all over the world, not only heroes, but villains as well are missing. I recommend you work under the rose until we find out how and why."
Blackfyre, his wife, and daughter nodded. "We'll keep that under advisement, Mirage. Let us know if you find anything."
Mirage nodded. "I'll see what I can do. Be careful." Then, the screen went dark.
Cerebris put the device back in the concealed pocket she had carried it in, and the group returned to a somewhat more cautious patrol.
Meanwhile, in a secret European base:
"You lost your homing beacon? You idiot! If anyone finds it, our secret will be revealed prematurely," the figure in the shadows yelled at the Chinese operative who had just put Robert Parr into titanium shackles so as to prevent him from using his incredible strength to escape.
"I'm sorry sir. I must have dropped it in the Parr house while I was trying to get Mr. Incredible here into the transport. I'll go back and get it immediately." The operative replied immediately
"You do that. And if you don't find it, don't come back," the mysterious figure replied, adding in a rather cold voice, "Your life depend on you finding it."
