A/N: Now, I'm jumping to Penny's POV, which I will be doing a lot during this story, so consider yourselves warned. Also, as I think I've mentioned in the first chapter, the Incredibles are canonically from 1962, which I didn't change because it'll tie into my story later. Hope you guys enjoy this chapter!

Chapter Three

Penny's POV

'Whoa, Bolt!' Penny laughed as Bolt leapt up to greet her the moment she stepped foot in the backyard. 'Looks like you missed me.' Bolt whined in agreement, making her laugh even more, and started trotting excitedly after her, finally coming to a stop as she leant down to pick up a branch.

'Wanna play fetch?'

'Yip!' That sounded like a yes.

'Alright then.' Penny smiled to herself, scanning the yard. Just as well they had a large backyard - Bolt loved a challenge finding the stick. Finally, her eyes settled on a small patch of bushes some distance away. She wound back her arm, then flung the stick as hard as possible. 'Fetch!'

Bolt barked enthusiastically, running over to the patch at once. Penny grinned. Making the choice to quit the lead actress of Bolt was one of the hardest decisions she had had to make in her acting career - particularly when she recalled the rigorous interviews and auditions to get the role - but it was worth it. Bolt wasn't closed in any more, free to be a normal dog, and she got to act like a normal kid (well, relatively normal considering she still had paparazzi sometimes, but at least they didn't bother her at home.) Sure, she missed acting, but she figured she should probably listen to her mom and enjoy this relative normalcy for a while before stepping back into the spotlight.

A sharp bark from Bolt interrupted her train of thought. Expecting to see him at her feet, with the found stick in his mouth and a satisfied expression on his face, she was surprised when she realised the barks were coming from the patch of bushes where she'd thrown the stick.

'Bolt?' she called. He barked once in agreement, but didn't come out to answer her call. Slightly anxious now, Penny glanced around, picked up the hardest-looking stick on the grass, and slowly walked over to the bushes, not making a sound.

'Bolt? Boy?' she asked, parting the bushes. Finding herself in what seemed like a small space between the bushes, enough to fit a few kids, probably, she glanced around and was hit by a wave of relief when she saw Bolt.

'Phew, boy, you scared me.' Penny wiped the sweat away from her forehead. Bolt looked at her for a while, then started barking again, nudging at thin air, before looking back up at her expectantly and whining when she just stood there. Penny started feeling anxious again - was Bolt seeing something? Could dogs hallucinate? Was he sick or something?

She walked towards Bolt. 'What is it, boy - '

Penny yelped as she tripped over something, then sprawled over the grass. Getting up, she stared back - there was nothing there.

Nothing that she could see, anyway.

'Bolt?'

'Yip!' Bolt barked again, then ran over and pulled her sleeve, Penny following him. He pulled her right where he had just been, then nudged at the air again. Penny suspected that it wasn't thin air after all.

Reaching out a shaky finger, she stretched it out tentatively to where Bolt had just nudged -

There was something there. Something soft - that felt like - skin -

Penny instantly pulled back her finger. She seemed to have done something, because a palette of colours were now growing in mid-air: beige, pink, black, bright red, yellow, unfolding right before her eyes before growing into the shape of an unconscious girl.

A girl... who hadn't been there just a few moments before.

Who had been invisible.

Penny guessed she was a Super. If it hadn't been obvious from the powers, the girl was wearing a costume: a bright red one with the letter 'i' on it, complete with black gloves and tights. And like most, if not all, Supers, she was wearing a mask, a black one that stretched around her eyes. She also had a pink hairband on, though it was askew, messing up her hair. Penny also noticed - quite relieved - that she was breathing deeply, which meant she was still alive.

So. I found a Super girl, who can turn invisible, unconscious in my backyard.

The idea was so strange that Penny wondered for a second whether this was just part of some other episode she was filming for Bolt, where she and Bolt would deduce that the girl had some connection to Calico, interrogate her when she woke up, and Bolt would save the day -

She was so lost in her thoughts that it took her a while to realise that the girl had already woken up.

The girl's eyes were a shade between light blue and violet, and right now they were changing from looking scared to confused to shocked to -

She moved so suddenly that Penny jumped. The girl had backed against a nearby bush, hand outstretched -

Penny suddenly felt herself being knocked over, like she was pushed, hard. At once, Bolt was by her side, nudging her softly, and she sat up slowly, gasping for breath.

The first thing she saw was a large, semi-transparent, violet-tinted shape that looked a bit like a dome. It was between her and the girl, who was also breathing heavily, looking at her in fear, hand still outstretched.

Penny decided it would be best to calm her down first. She raised her hands up slowly, the girl's eyes tracking her every movement.

'I'm not going to hurt you,' Penny said gently, slowly, though her heart was racing. This seemed to work - the Super relaxed a little, though she didn't disable the dome thing.

'Who are you? And - and where am I?'

'Um, I'm Penny,' Penny answered, cautiously. 'You're in my backyard.'

The girl looked at her wildly. 'Your backyard... which is in?'

'Hollywood... Los Angles.'

'Hollywood?' the girl echoed, looking startled. 'Oh no.'

Penny decided to take a bit of a risk. 'Um, sorry for asking, but I take it you aren't around here?' The girl just continued to stare at her. Penny could almost see her mind trying to decide whether or not she could trust Penny. 'If you live far away,' Penny continued, 'maybe I could help you call a taxi?'

To Penny's relief, the girl seemed to trust her, and the dome disappeared.

'Yeah, sure, that would be good, thanks,' the girl said, restlessly running her hands through her hair, obviously still shaken up. Taking this as a good sign, Penny pulled out her smartphone.

The girl audibly gasped, and when Penny looked up there was a dome surrounding her.

'What's that?' she demanded.

Penny glanced back down at her phone, then up at the girl, downright confused now. 'Um... my phone?'

'Phone?' The girl stared at it, until something seemed to click. 'As in, a telephone?'

'I guess so?'

'But... where's the rotary dial? The reciever?' the girl questioned, looking at Penny with more suspicion now.

Penny, meanwhile, was wondering what on earth the girl was talking about. 'What are those?'

'You don't know?' the girl said, sounding genuinely surprised.

'No, but this is definitely a phone,' Penny answered, and, deciding it would be easier to just let the girl see by herself, held it outside the dome so the girl could see. 'See?' Penny said, swiping it on and showing her. 'There's the phone app, right there - '

'Wait,' the girl said suddenly, a note of faint horror in her voice, though Penny couldn't think why. 'Could you make - whatever that was just now - come back again?'

Puzzled, Penny swiped back again, and the girl looked completely horrified, staring at the phone. She jabbed a finger at it, asking, 'Wait - is that the date?'

'Yeah - today's the 11th of July.'

'Year?'

'Um, 2037?' Penny thought that there probably was something wrong with the girl - she seemed to have gone a little crazy - 'Hey, are you alright? Are you sick or anything?' The girl didn't answer, just stared, horrified, at the date. She didn't even appear to have realised that the dome had vanished.

'Its... 2037,' the girl whispered to herself all of a sudden, sounding like she was having a panic attack. 'And I'm - I'm - '

Her eyes rolled back into her head as she fell unconscious again.

Penny simply stood in the small space, blinking in confusion, wondering what on earth she had just witnessed.

...

A/N: And that's a wrap! It was kinda fun doing this part, though I'm honestly wondering if people will still be using smartphones in 2037. I'm pretty sure everyone will just use these holographic chips or something and if we were suddenly transported there and told them about touchscreen smartphones, they would go like 'what are those?' Reminder: this chapter takes place in 2037, which has been established, and Penny is 13. Also: from this point onwards, unless I say otherwise, the story takes place in 2037.
