On with the story.

Three days later Alan and Gordon had to attend school. They were to get up early, get ready and Lady Penelope would pick drop the two off at school and pick them up at the end of the day. Once in the car and in the air Sherbert was sat on Alan's lap and Gordon looking out the window. The journey was silent as everyone was in their own world. Despite being on a remote island the journey to their school wasn't that long. Parker landed about 5 miles before school in a bear field in order to transform back into an average car. A couple of minutes later they arrived at the school.

Alan jumped out the car and walked over to his friend Ryan, Whereas Gordon slowly left the car and trotted to his mate Nate. "Gordon?" Lady Penelope asked, He turned his head," Be careful." She tapped to her head and Gordon understood he request. As he walked towards the school and Parker reversed out the drive way Nate asked Gordon a question.

"Is that your Girlfriend?"

"What? No… She's not even my type." Gordon replied trying to cover his headache. "She's just a family friend."

"Sure she is." Nate laughed at his comment and walked beside Gordon on the way to class. They entered the class to see almost everybody else was already seated.

"I'm sure everyone had a great half term," the teacher bellowed after the class which soon fell silent. "Thank you, but now we need to get back to work. Let me take the register." As the teacher began the register Nate leaned over towards Gordon.

"So what happened over your half term?"

"Not much," Gordon lied to tell the truth he had drowned himself in missions and is still dealing with a headache, "Just chilling with my brothers."

"Nate Tanner?"

"Yes miss."

"Gordon Tracy?"

"Yes miss." A few more names were listed out and then the register was finished.

"Ok today were not doing anything to hard so were going to be looking at heroes, specifically the Thunderbirds." The class' excitement droned out Gordon's tired sigh. "What can you tell me about the thunderbirds?"

"There ships are huge."
"They save people."
"No one knows who they are." Gordon chuckled at this statement. The teacher shot her glare at Gordon.

"Something to add Gordon?" Uh oh.

"Umm… They don't ask for rewards?"

"Correct and do you know why that is?" Gordon did nothing," Because they don't save people for rewards, they do it for people's safety, no matter the cost." This caused Gordon to remember his father. He stared at his lap as he remembered the day he heard his dad went missing after a crash. It wasn't that long ago. This jobs isn't all it's cracked up to be. However his thoughts were interrupted by the piercing pain coming from his head. He sat up right and pulled his drink out from his bag. Taking a sip he breathed slowly trying to overcome the pain.

On the other side of the school Alan was slumped in his seat as his teacher babbled on about maths and numbers and… well practically gibberish. Sat next to Ryan he was in his own world thinking about well everything. What happened to Gordon a few days ago, what happened to his Dad, the fact that he is part of the international rescue but couldn't tell anyone and still had to go to school. Breaking his chain of thought his teacher loomed over him. "Alan where is your homework?" He sighed and reached into his bag and pulled out a folder labelled 'Homework'. Handing his teacher the sheet he stared at him whilst he scanned the sheet filled with questions of standard form. Seeing his teacher smile allowed Alan to breathe," Good work Tracy, keep it up."

The past half term he wasn't called in on missions often and when he was at home his Gran would make him do online lessons. Despite his Gran being persistence she really saved his ass. Feeling good with himself he carried on with the lesson until the bell went. After the next lesson Alan had break. He barely made it out the corridor when he was pushed to the wall but Drake. "Get off me Drake!" Drake annoyed Alan so much. He would tease him on his scrawny figure and called him a weakling. He slipped out of Drakes arms and walked out the door.

Drake wouldn't let him go that easily and pushed him towards the cobble ground below. "Hey!" Ryan shouted and pushed Drake to get to Alan. Helping him up he confronted Drake and his 'followers' "Was that necessary?"

Punching Ryan in the face Drake chuckled, "That was." Anger overthrew Alan and he lunged himself towards Drake.

At the top of his lungs he bellowed," Leave us alone!" He attacked Drake with ease but was overpowered but his buddies. Before he knew it he was trapped in a circle facing Drake and three others. All around him over students were chanting as they found the fight amusing.

From afar Gordon was walking with Nate towards Science to collect some course work when he came across the circle. He didn't want to get involved as he thought it was pointless and decided to carry on walking until Nate provided Gordon with information. "Uhh Gord, It's Alan." Instant he changed his mind and headed to the crowd. Pushing his way through the human barricade he was followed by Nate and entered the ring. Helping his brother defend himself he pushed Drake out the way. Drake was a freakishly large guy. Taller than Gordon despite being a few years older. Just there to defend his brother he didn't expect to be pushed and plummet to the hard floor below. Hitting his head he hissed in pain. Nate helped Alan and Ryan until several teachers came over and broke up the fight. Those that were injured the most, Alan, Ryan and Gordon, were taken to the medical office but Nate requested to come along.

On the way to the office Gordon and Alan didn't even look at each other as Alan was angry that his brother was dragged in whereas Gordon was both angry and disappointed. In the medical bay a nurse gave Gordon an ice pack for his head and checked over the other wounds inflicted on Ryan and Alan.

Alan hissed in pain as the Nurse tapped her finger against his cut, and now swollen, upper check. Ryan on the other hand had a huge ball resting on his face. Looking over to Gordon Alan noticed something appearing on his ice pack. "Gordon you ok?" nodding his head towards the ice pack Gordon lowed his arm to revile that his head was bleeding. The nurse went over to check on him whilst Alan was being poked and prodded by the other Nurse.

Meanwhile Ryan and Nate were being questioned by the head master. "What exactly happened?"

Ryan began," Alan and I were leaving English when Drake came over and pinned him to a wall, Alan managed to get out and we continued walking until he pushed him over…." Ryan continued telling the head master everything that happened. For Ryan was the trueful type. In the end the teacher believed his story and agreed that Drake was indeed… trouble.

The nurses decided to call their parents. Nates too. Gordons and Alans number was phoned last and they could identify the call on the other end it was Scott. The nurse explained that they would like them to go home and get some rest. About ten minutes later Penelope arrived at the car park ready to pick up the boys. Entering the car the journey back was mainly in silence but to the boys relief lady P and Parker didn't sound angry, or worse disappointed. They sat in the comfortable leather chairs of FAB 1, with their ice packs pressed against their face, soaring through the sky on the way back home.
