Heroic Deeds

Cops had an apartment building surrounded. Inside was a deranged man. He was holding a little infant and her mother hostage on the second floor. To make matters worse, he has two shotguns. He simply demanded $500,000, a getaway car, another shotgun, and that no police force of any kind would follow him or else he will kill both the mother and the little baby. Police waited anxiously and nervously. They tried negotiating, but it had failed. Just then, the Incredibile drove in. The family got out of the car.

"Ah, the Incredibles." greeted the Chief. "We are so glad to have you here."

"No time now. Please explain the situation to us." Mr. Incredible requested.

The Chief explained about the two hostages, the man, and his demands. So far, we have his requested getaway car right over there." he said, pointing out a large, red Jeep. "We also told him that his money is on the driver's seat of the car. The only reason why he ain't coming out yet is because we have the entire place surrounded."

"Sir," said an officer, "he wants half of the police to leave this place and he will release captive."

While the Chief and officers talked, the family of supers got together in a huddle.

"Okay, we have got a dangerous situation on our hands here everyone." he told. Then, he looked at his daughter. Speedster and Elastigirl looked at Invisigirl. "Violet, we are counting on you."

An apprehensive Invisigirl nodded. "Dad, no matter what happens, tell the police not to go in until the hostages and I safely come out."

Mr. Incredible nodded and went to tell the Chief the plan. The old policeman was a little hesitant sending a fourteen year old girl to save a mother and a baby, but negotiations are failing, the situation growing more deadly by the second, it was the only plan that they got.

Invisigirl turned invisible and moved swiftly to the apartment. She found an open window and slipped herself into the apartment. She snuck through the hallways quietly. She made her way down the hallways, searching for the stairways. Finally, she found a small stair case. She made her way up the steps, concealed in her invisibility, with great silence and stealth.

Invisigirl, through her vigorous training every other weekend at the NSA HQ to help improve, polish, and enhance her powers, has mastered the art of invisibility and force fields. Invisigirl learned how to produce large force fields the size of large skyscrapers and trained her mind and body to take on powerful hits and still sustain her force field. During her Invisibility training, she learned to not only make herself but other objects and people invisible. In addition, she learned to sneak through places without being detected.

All of this training was put into great use in trying to save the hostages. If the crazy man had heard the sound of someone coming up, both the baby and the mother would be dead instantly.

Invisigirl slipped down the hallways. Finally, she heard a sound of a man screaming at someone. She placed her ear by the door. It sounded like someone was coming. Quickly, Invisigirl moved to the other side of the hallway. The mother was running down the hallway and down the stairs in tears. Invisigirl quickly slipped through the door before the man closed it.

"Okay little baby, it is just you and me now. I don't have any intention on releasing you."

Invisigirl had to get the baby out of the building alive. She didn't see the man picking up his shotgun and cocked it. Invisigirl heard the sound and turned around. The man didn't know it, but he was aiming his gun at the teen Super instead of the little baby. Invisigirl had no choice. As soon as the man pulled the trigger, she fad formed a protective force field to protect herself. This unfortunately made the man aware that Invisigirl was in his presence. The teenaged heroine materialized in front of the man. Before he shot another round, Invisigirl kicked him in the chest, sending him to the floor. She took the baby in her arms and rushed into the hallway.

Outside, the family and cops heard the sound of a gunshot. The police were about to rush in.

"WAIT!" roared Mr. Incredible. The cops stopped and stared at the muscular Super. "Give her a chance. Don't go in yet."

A lot was going through Invisigirl's mind. She carried the baby through the apartment, as the man hightailed behind her. She searched all around, trying to find some sanctuary. Finally, she found an open room. Invisigirl ran inside and closed the door. After she finished locking it, she heard the sound of a gun about ready to fire. She took the baby, and formed a force field around herself. The man fired his shotgun. Bullets rushed out of the barrel. Some ricocheted off of Invisigirl's force field. Most passed and shattered the glass window behind them. The bullets weren't as strong as a powerful laser from Baron von Ruthless, nor as powerful as a punch from Mr. Incredible; however after seven shots of a shotgun, Invisigirl started to feel a little tired. To make matters worse, that was only one shotgun. The man had two left.

Police, Mr. Incredible, Elastigirl, and Speedster wait nervously outside. They could hear the loud blast of the shotgun coming from inside. All they could do was wait, hope, and pray that she made it out in one peace.

Suddenly, a Super flew in. He glided himself into the room where Invisigirl was protecting the infant. The teen Super Hero saw the person who flew in the room.

"SYNDROME!"

Syndrome lifted his arm slowly. Invisigirl found her force field levitating in the air. She gave an shocking look at Syndrome. In turn, he levitated the purple orb out of the apartment room and onto the safe ground. While all of this was happening, the man continued to fire his shotgun through an open hole that his bullet's penetrated. He blasted his rifle at Syndrome's chest. The billets bounced off of his chest. Syndrome fired a orange beam at the mans shotgun, which later disintegrated into millions of tiny pieces. Syndrome fired his zero-point-energy beam at the man.

Minutes later, the man was placed into the back of a police car. It drove away into the distance. Meanwhile, the each member of the Incredibles family took turns congratulating and comforting the teenage girl in the family.

"You did a fantastic job today honey." said Elastigirl.

"Thanks mom. I hate to say it, but Syndrome really saved my life in there. It's like he knew that I was in trouble. He just flew in without consulting the authorities."

Just then, a police officer walked over to the family. "Incredibles, we have a couple of situations right now. In Downtown Metroville, some body is planning to jump off a building. And someone is robbing a subway station nearby."

"I got the subway guy." spoke Speedster as he dashed as fast as he could toward the subway station.

Mr. Incredible hopped into the Incredibile. "Honey, I'll take care of the suicidal man. Take the shortcut through the NSA HQ and get Violet home."

Invisigirl smiled and said charmingly. "Thanks dad."

The Incredibile sped off into the horizon. Elastigirl and Invisigirl walked to the pool area of the apartment. They entered the girl's locker room. Elastigirl opened up a locker and reached inside. She pressed a couple buttons inside. Soon, a hole opened up in the middle of the locker room. Both jumped in and slid down a slide leading toward the NSA HQ.

Meanwhile, Speedster finally arrived at Metroville Subway Station. He saw many panicked people. The reason why was a man with a gun was asking everyone that he came up to for money. Speedster looked around and saw two downed cops, both seriously wounded. Speedster stared at the armed robber.

The boy began to formulate his plan. "Okay, as soon as he is done taking money away from that woman, I am going to run in there, trip him up, and. . ."

Unfortunately, before Dash could put his plan into action, the robbers gun floated out of his hands and out a window. That was when Syndrome flew in. His hand was glowing black as a raven while the gun was levitated in midair. Soon, his hand stopped glowing and the gun fell right into a dumpster. Syndrome's eyes started to grow pink. At the same time, the confused robber was put in a trance. He walked like he was zoned out of Metroville Subway Station and into a police car. As the patrol vehicle sped away, people roared with applause, acknowledging the Super.

"No need good citizens of Metroville." responded Syndrome humbly. "I am just here to protect our city from the evil of crime."

Syndrome winked at the crown, and with subsonic speed, flew away into the sky.

Speedster witnessed all of this with an awe. He went up to a woman. "Excuse me, can you help me out? What just happened?" he requested, trying to sort things out.

"Do I know you?" she asked. A minute later, "Oh you are Mr. Incredible's son. Sorry, I forgot about you."

"Never mind." pouted the young Super as he angrily ran back to his house.

Mr. Incredible talked to the police. "Thank goodness that he hasn't jumped yet." was all that everyone watching was happy about.

"Hey! Mr. Incredible!" called a voice.

It was Frozone. He skated over to his Super friend. Both formed their plan of action just in case the suicidal man decides to jump. Sadly, that just happened. The man leapt as far as he could to end it all. The two started to execute their plan. Mr. Incredible jumped as high as he could and drilled his elbow into the asphalt. The impacted created a huge crater in the street, about ten feet wide, and 15 feet deep. Frozone started to fill up the crater with layers of snow with his ice powers. Together, both made a soft landing pad.

Just as the man was fifty feet above ground, a large gust of wind started to blow in the air. It blew harder and harder. The harder the wind blew, the slower the man began to fall. Then, Syndrome came flying in, grabbed him in midair, and glided down to the ground. Paramedics rushed him over to the hospital while the people (once again) cheered for their new favorite hero.

Syndrome flashed a couple poses for the flashing cameras. Afterwards, his rocket boots activated, and he flew off into the distance. Mr. Incredible was so angry, he pounded on a car as hard as he could to emit his rage. the impact completely demolished the automobile. People glared at Mr. Incredible.

"HEY, THAT IS MY CAR!" yelled someone in the very back.

Mr. Incredible grinned sheepishly. He then ran to the Incredibile, hopped in, and drove away into the sunset.

Back at home, Violet was helping her mom cook dinner. Just then, Dash and Bob stomped into the room with glares on their faces. Dash and Bob went to the kitchen and sat down at the table. Even Jack-Jack's coos couldn't even put a smile on the distraught guys' face. Helen and Vi looked at each other. The shining orange sun outside slowly began to sink behind the horizon as a bright full moon began to appear in the dark sky with millions of stars surrounding it.
