A/N (Author's Note): Now we have Bob and Steve meet Syndrome and find Gazerbeam (and someone else) in the cave. Enjoy.


After a couple of weeks passed since the Omnidroid incident, Steve couldn't help but wonder if something else was going on in that island. Mirage said that Bob and him were the only ones they were able to contact, but after hearing that Supers were going missing, Steve didn't know if he should trust Mirage. He then heard the his house phone ring.

"I've got it, honey!" Steve said to Sharon who was in another room. "Don't answer it! I've got it!"

He then picked up the phone and answered. "Hello?"

"This is Mirage," Mirage said through the phone. "I've got another assignment for you. When can you get here?"

"I'll be right over." Steve said.

He then went to the door of his room and saw his wife, Sharon, standing right there as if she was waiting for him.

"So who was that?" Sharon asked. "The office?"

"Another conference call." Steve answered. "It's a little short notice. But, you know, duty calls."

Steve than went to get his super suit on and wore a suit over that one to hide what he was really doing. He snuck his shield in the trunk of his car along with his suitcase. He then got in his car and started it up.

Sharon than went up to the driver's window and said, "Steve?"

"Yes?" Steve replied.

"...H-Have a great trip!"

"I will."

"I love you."

"I love you too."

Steve than kissed his wife goodbye and drove his car off.


Before getting on the jet, Steve noticed Bob had worked out and got a new suit.

"You've been working out!" Steve said to Bob.

"Just like you said, trains." Bob pointed out.

"Is that a new suit?"

"I asked Edna for a simple patch job, but she said that my old suit 'distracts from the now'."

"I see, so what did you do with your old suit?"

"Edna patched it up like I asked. I put it back up on display at my house."

"Don't you think that Helen is gonna notice the patch on the suit?"

"Nah! I'm sure it'll be fine!"


As the jet took them back to the island, Mirage sent the heroes to their room to wait. It was a big room with a view of the island and a bowl of fruits.

"You will be briefed on your next assignment in the conference room, at 2." Mirage explained. "D-wing, A113.

"2:00, got it!" Mr. Incredible said.

"Got ya covered!" Captain America said.

"See you there." Mirage said.

Mirage than left as Bob laid down his suitcase, picked up a pear, started eating it, and enjoyed the view.

"I'll tell ya, Steve, this is the life! I wish these guys would have found us years ago!"

"...Bob? Can I ask you something?"

"Sure Steve, anything."

"Do you get the feeling that...that these guys are lying to us?"

"...What?"

"Bob! Think about it! Supers have been going missing and no one knows where they are! And all of a sudden, this woman shows up claiming to be a top secret government agent that even S.H.I.E.L.D doesn't know about, which should be impossible..."

"Steve...I get it...we've been dreaming about being heroes again and now we finally get that chance and it seems to good to be true."

"This is more than that, Bob! I mean, all this is great, really, I just...should we even trust Mirage? She sent us to stop a robot that only seemed to be focused on you! Don't you think that's a little bit suspicious?"

Bob stayed silent for a minute.

"Look, she may not be all that trustworthy, but she helped us to relive something that we are good at. We'll discuss this later, right now, we are needed."


Steve and a Bob than went to the room Mirage told them to meet her in, only to see that no one was there. There was nothing but a bunch of chairs and a large table with a "S" on it in the room.

"She did say 2:00, right?" Bob asked.

"She did." Steve said. "Something's not right."

"Look, maybe they're just a little late."

"All at the same time? You can't be this stupid!"

"Steve you're being paranoid! They probably..."

Bob was then interupted by a hidden door opening revealing a much bigger and red eyed version of the Omnidroid. Bob and Steve than tried to run, but the robot grabbed them both and tossed them around as a voice said, "It's bigger! It's badder!" The droid than held the heroes up with two of its claws and rotated one claw as if it was a blade of a helicopter and held it towards them.

"Ladies and gentlemen, it's too much for Mr. Incredible and Captain America!" The voice than said as if it was an announcer. "Woah! Woah!"

Steve and Bob then saw a flying man with orange, crazy hair, a black and white costume with a cape, mask, and "S" symbol on it, and rocket boots similar to those of Iron Man's.

"It's finally ready!" The man said as he landed on top of the robot. "You know, I through quite a few Supers to get it worthy to fight you. But, man, it wasn't good enough!"

"Do you know this guy?" Steve asked Bob.

"I-I don't think so." Bob said.

"And he doesn't remember me!" The mystery man said. "I mean, I know that's it's been 15 years but I thought that you would, at least, recognize my voice. I mean, after all...I am your biggest fan."

Those last 5 words struck horror in the face of Mr. Incredible as he realized who it was. "Buddy?" He asked.

The name that Bob mentioned seemed to anger the man.

"My name is not BUDDY!" He then exclaimed as he pressed a button on his wrist and the robot threw the two heroes to the ground. "And it's not Incrdiboy either! That ship has sailed! All I wanted was to help you. I only wanted to help! And what did you say to me?! 'Fly home, Buddy, I work alone!'"

"Bob? What is he talking about?" Cap asked.

"Bob? That is your real name?! Seriously?!"

"Well, it's actually Robert, but..." Incredible explained.

"Anyways! What you said to me back then, tore me apart! And that's when I realized that you can't count on anyone! Especially, your own heroes! Of cource, it took a few words from a certain super villain to inspire me to come up with all this in the first place, but that's a story for another day!"

"Look, I was wrong to treat you that way!" Bob said. "I'm sorry!"

"See? Now you respect me! Because I'm a threat! That's the way it works! Turns out, there a lot of people, whole countries even, that want respect, and they will pay through the nose to get it!" Bob then realized that 'Buddy' was monolouging like Baron Von Ruthless was doing with Frozone in Lucius' story. He then slide over to a log that was next to him. Steve realized what he was doing and prepared his shield to throw. "How do you think I got rich? I invented weapons. And now I have a weapon only I can defeat! And when I unleash it..."

Bob than threw the log at Buddy as Cap threw his shield. Buddy dodged the log and seemed to use some sort of light blue laser to stop America's shield and threw it away. He then used the same laser to stop Mr Incredible and Captain America in their tracks.

"You sly dog! You've got me monolouging!" Buddy said to Incredible as he turned to America and said, "And you! You weren't even supposed to be here!"

Buddy than threw the heroes to the side.

"What the..." Steve said in shock.

"Pretty cool, uh?" Buddy said. "Zero point energy. I save the best inventions for myself."

He then used his "zero point energy" to toss the heroes into the air. "Am I good enough now?" Buddy said as he tossed the two around. "Who's Super now? I'm Syndrome! Your nemesis!"

Buddy then realized that he threw Bob and Steve over across the island.

"Oh brilliant!"


Bob and Steve were lucky enough to land in a stream of water. They then got out of the stream and coughed out the water they choked on.

"You alright?" Steve asked Bob.

"Yeah I'm fine, you?" Bob asked.

The heroes than realized Syndrome was right behind them and jumped over the water fall and into the body of water at the bottom. They then saw a device with a beeping red light and then realized it was a bomb and swam away from it. That it until it exploded making a stream of water that sent them flying out of the water and into some sort of cave. When they managed to get air back into their lungs, they realized they weren't alone. They saw a skeleton wearing some sort of helmet. Bob jumped with a big yelp by the sight of it.

"I'm starting to think you were right about us not being the only Supers being called onto this island." Robert pointed out.

"You think?!" Cap asked.

The heroes than inspected the helmet to see a symbol "GB" on it.

"Gazerbeam!" Bob recognized the symbol.

"Simon!" Steve called out. "What happened to you?"

Bob than noticed carved marks on the walls of the cave.

"Steve, look!" Incredible said.

America than looked at the wall and saw the same marks. The two heroes than looked at Gazerbeam and back at the carvings. They then saw a message that Simon drew with his lazer eyes.

"Kronos?" Bob questioned. "What's Kronos?"

"I don't know." Steve answered. "But something tells me..."

Steve was then interupted by a growl from behind him. This growl didn't soud like it came from an animal, it sounded like it came from a man. Steve than turned to see a figure in the shadows. The figure seemed to have everything that a normal man had, except for the claws. The figure than yelled and charged at the two heroes with his claws raised. It slashed at Steve only for him to dodge. And then slashed at Bob for him to dodge. Steve than realized who it was and got in front of him.

"Logan stop!" He said to the figure. "It's me! Steve! Captain America?"

The figure than took deep breaths and calmed himself down. The claws of the figure than retracted in his fists as it stepped out of the shadows. The figure was than revealed to be, none other than, the Wolverine. He was wearing his classic yellow and blue X-men suit, but it seemed to be damaged during a battle of some kind.

"Sorry about that." Wolverine said. "I was expecting someone else."

"Like who?" Bob asked.

Suddenly, something seemed to be coming out of the water Bob and Steve went out of.

"Hide!" Logan commanded as he pushed the two heroes behind Gazerbeam.

Then, a probe of some kind came out of the water and scanned the cave. And after it finished scanning, it beeped twice and went over to Gazerbeam and scanned his skeleton. It beeped twice once more and left the cave.

"That was close." Logan said.

"I'm just glad to see your alive!" Steve exclaimed.

"Of cource I'm alive! You've ever seen me dead?"

"Ahem!" Bob coughed. "You gonna introduce me?"

"Oh, right! Bob, this is..."

"The name's Logan, bub." Logan said as he shook Bob's hand. "But most civilians know me as Wolverine."

"I'm Bob. You can call me Mr. Incredible."

"Logan, how long have you been here?" Steve asked.

"Days, weeks, months, hard to tell. I was just off to investigate into the disappearances of Supers. Good ol' Detective James Howlet doing his job. Then all of a sudden, this white haired woman named Mirage went up to me and told me that I can have a second chance at defending the world. I wasn't so sure at first, but I then agreed to do one job for her. It was then that I encountered the Omnidroid. Tried slicing through it, it didn't work. I then ran away as fast as I could. And that was when I found this cave, and found Simon."

"Do you know what Kronos is?" Bob asked.

"Simon's journal mentions that he needs to stop it from happening, but it just ends there. There's no mention of what it is, or why it should be stopped. It only mentions that he snuck into Syndrome's base and found out about it."

"Then what are we waiting for?" Steve asked. "Let's smeal into Syndrome's base, find Kronos, and get off this island!"

"There is like a thousand guards waiting for us!" Logan exclaimed.

"Then we will sneak around them,knock some of them out if nessecary, and find Kronos. Does that sound like a plan?"

Logan paused for a minute to think.

"Sounds like a plan to me!" He said. "I'm in!"

"Me too!" Bob said.
