Disclaimers: This fanfiction is based off of a few character profiles and interviews off of Disc 2 of the "The Incredibles" DVD. Therefore, it's not supposed to be 100 accurate. This is simply how I think the characters were, and even their names have been made up. This particular fic takes place before the big "let's sue the supers" event.

Chapter One – "You'd be prettier if you smiled more"

Agatha Somer glanced at the clock as she crammed a bagel into her mouth. 9:50 AM, meaning that she was late for work. "The Boss is going to kill me." She muttered, heading out the door to her apartment, in which she lived alone.

Metroville's traffic was bustling along, as usual. People were all over the place, busily hurrying about. Agatha was just another blonde, vivacious girl living in the moment. Hardly extraordinary. She didn't even own an automobile.

Agatha's ears perked up as she distinctly heard the sound of a blast. She glanced to the right and saw two robbers enter the Metroville Bank. With a sigh, Agatha looked down at her white blouse and black skirt. "And it took so long to iron…" Wasting no time, Agatha found a quite place to remove her outer layer of clothing. Underneath was a one-of-a-kind Edna Mode suit. It was plain white with red sleeves that were turned up, and a red belt. She tucked her long hair under the swim-cap-like head cover and put on the goggles.

In a matter of seconds, she had become Apogee. She looked up at the sky and grinned. Beautiful azure skies, and the sun was perfectly unfettered by clouds. Without a moment's hesitation, Apogee ran into the bank.

"Stop right there!" she yelled, using her solar-powered powers to force the burglars to the ground. She used her gravitation control to pin the two in place.

"Great Scott! It's Apogee!" one of them cried.

"I told you we should've gone at night!" the other yelled.

Annoyed that everyone knew her weak point, Apogee pushed them to the ground harder, causing them to cry out in pain.

"Even if you had, I would've dealt with you accordingly," a deep voice said from behind her. Without altering the gravity field she had on the thieves, Apogee turned her head towards the other super.

"Gazerbeam," she growled. "I've got this under control. Go away."

"You can't handle them alone, Popo." Gazerbeam drawled. Apogee rolled her eyes.

"I can handle this." She assured him through gritted teeth.

"Your powers aren't that great." Gazerbeam shrugged, trying to act cool.

"Better to be weaker at night than to not be able to look someone in the eye without burning them to a crisp," she replied acidly.

"Weaker? You're useless at night!" he argued. She noticed that he said nothing about her comment about his powers, and assumed that she had hit a sore spot. Still, his remark stung. Neither said another word until the police arrived. Apogee helped the 2 thieves to the cop car and slowly sauntered out of the bank. "You know…" Gazerbeam said. "You'd be prettier if you smiled more."

"How do you know? I'm masked," she snapped.

"You're very attractive, even when yelling at me. So I presume that a happy Apogee would be even better." He walked past her and waved as he said, "Don't frown too much, you'll get wrinkles."

Blushing, Apogee went home to change again for work.
