"SCOTTY!"
Scott was beyond shocked when he the person get out of the van, run up to him and hug him.
"Luis?!" He said unbelievingly.
"Bro, this is awesome!" The crazy Hispanic replied, "You're back! I can't believe you're actually back."
"Dude, we thought you were dead!" Another familiar voice said.
Scott looked up to see Dave, Kurt, and Ava standing next to the van.
"Guys!" He exclaimed, pulling them into
"Yo, Scott! Good to see ya, bro!" Dave said pulling his friend into a brohug.
"Yeah, you too! Kurt! Hey man!"
"Good see you, Scott!"
"You too." Then Scott looked to Ava, their former enemy-turned friend. "Ava. Wow. Didn't expect to see you here."
The quantum powered woman chuckled. "Its good to see you too, Scott."
Scott nodded at that and looked at the extended part of his family. It was great to be together again. Seeing all of them made him feel almost at home. Almost. It still needed Hank, Janet, and Hope.
"Scotty, what's wrong,man?" Luis asked, noticing his friend's face seeming down.
"Oh, it's just...a lot of stuff is different and I don't even know what happened."
And just like that, Luis' face went from confused to excited in less than a second.
Everyone noticed this. But Scott was even more confused. "What?" He said.
"I gotchu, bro!" The Hyped Hispanic exclaimed.
Heads turned and facial expressions were made. But all had confusion on their minds. All except Dave, Kurt and Scott. They've known Luis long enough to know. This was gonna be a long day.
***In The Back of A Rig Truck, Somewhere On A Highway***
Cross drove a big rig truck with Hellen next to him, and Hank, Hope and Janet riding in the back with his black truck, their containment units, and some other equipment.
The three were sitting down, chained to the walls. Hank and Janet were in each other's arms, while Hope stared at a picture in her hand.
It was a picture of Her, Scott, Cassie and PJ in a car. It was actually when they watched a movie in a shrunken car, a family tradition they started after Scott was officially declared free after the Fiasco in San Francisco. She loved those family moments. And more than that, she missed them.
Looking at PJ who was smiling in the backseat with Cassie made her heart feel hurt. She hadn't seen her son in almost ten years. He must miss her too.
'Don't worry, baby,' she thought to herself, 'We'll be together again soon.'
A few teardrops fell from her cheeks as she held the picture to her heart. Letting some of the emotions out. A hand on her shoulder made her feel better almost immediately. She looked to her side to see her parents looking at her with the same tears in their eyes, but there were still traces of hope.
"We'll get out of this, Hope." Janet stated, not a doubt in his voice.
Hope patted her father's hand and wiped her tears away. "You're right, we are."
She reached into her hoodie and pulled out a hairpin, holding it up to show her parents. Their first expression was shock, but that quickly turned to smiles of relief and hope.
At a loss for words, all Hank could ask was, "H-How?"
A confident smile came to Hope's face. "Remember when Hellen and me got into a tussle before we left?" She replied.
(Flashback)
***Abandoned Building, The Other Day***
Hank and Janet had been loaded and cuffed to the inside of the UHAUL truck, and now it was Hope's turn.
Hellen walked over to her cell, put cuffs on her, and pulled up. She walked in front of The she-villain towards the truck. Hope was already in a bad mood, so what came next didn't help at all.
"Just think, Hope," Hellen started patronizing her, "This time next week, your group of brats will be gone. Especially that little one. What was his name? Oh yeah! PJ! I'm gonna have fun doing him in."
That did it.
She didn't see it coming, but Hope back-kicked Hellen and then head butted her backwards when she hunched over. Then she turned, grabbed her hair and swiftly took the bobby-pin from the villainess' hair and played it off by kneeing her head.
But that was all she could do before a jolt of electricity surged through her body and she collapsed to the ground.
"HOPE!" Hank yelled from the back of the moving truck. Behind her, Cross had tased her.
"Oh relax, Hank." He said condescendingly, "It's not like she's dead."
He grabbed her cuffs and dragged her to the truck and tossed her in. Then he uncuffed one of her hands and cuffed her to the side of the trailer with her parents.
As he walked out, the words of her father stopped him. "I swear to you, Will. You'll regret this."
"Oh yeah, Hank?" Cross humored as he walked out. "Who's gonna make me regret this, you?"
He laughed as he and Hellen closed the doors of the trailer and locked them in.
Hank and Janet helped their daughter sit up against the wall. "Hope, are you ok, sweetie?" Janet asked worriedly.
Hope groaned as she took her free hand that was in a fist and felt around in it. When she still felt the bobby-pin, she let out a long sigh. "Never better, Mom. Never better."
(End Of Flashback)
Hope took the bobby-pin and began picking at her cuffs. It took a few seconds, but finally, they unclicked and Hope was free.
Hank and Janet look at their daughter with pride and joy. She really was their little girl. Just all grown up now.
"That's my girl," Hank stayed with a smile.
Hope returned that smile and got to work on her parents' cuffs. When they were off, they all shared a big hug.
"Good work, Jellybean," Janet said Into her daughter's shoulder.
"Thanks Mom." She replied.
When they finally broke apart, they looked around. "Well, now what?" Hank asked.
"Now," Hope started as she looked towards the doors, "We wait."
Well, that was fun! Guys, I'm sorry I took so long to update this chapter. I hope you guys are still with me on this. It was hard to come back to this because I casted Cameron Boyce as James "Jimmy" Rogers, and I was actually gonna continue this when I got the unfortunate news. But now, I'm gonna keep this going with him still as Jimmy. It's gonna be a little hard, but I'll manage. I might recast him in the sequel. Oh yeah, there's gonna be somewhat of a sequel to this story. And I might recast Jimmy in it.
MIGHT!
But this story, this is for him. So this is for you guys, and for Cameron. So that's gonna be it for this chapter. I'm already working on the next chapter and I'm gonna try to update by next week. And then the CharBee story, More Human Than Machine, Fast 9, and others. So just bear with me, and it'll be ok. So til next, NinjaBoy out!
