Main Characters: Alan, John, Scott, TinTin
Summary:
Alan has a younger twin sister who isn't exactly like him. Actually, more like, opposite him. She is smart and listens to her father, but she only hates one person, Alan. He treats her like a kid when they are both the age of fourteen. Will this change when The Hood arrives?

Author's Note:
This is my first Thunderbird FanFiction, so diehard Thunderbird fans, go easy. I also have only watched the 2004 Movie and have watched the magnificent works of Criminally Charmed and Little Miss Bump, also TBMom. So, if character's actions are wrong, I apologize in advance.

The writing style may change. So any first person will be in my OC's 1st Person, while other tidbits will be in 3rd person. There will be a break and then in Italics 3rd Person, but it will be centered around a character. So it will say, 3rd Person Name, only my OC will be in 1st Person.

Disclaimer: I do not own the Thunderbirds, I only own my OC, Kathryn Dwyer Tracy. - There are also specific lines from the movie, so I don't own those either.


- Chapter 4 -

(3rd Person)

After running from the kitchen, Alan couldn't help think, "Why did I say that to Kat? I want to protect her, but every time I speak to her, it seems, all I can do is be completely rude to her. I don't understand."

His thoughts were interrupted when Fermat and he reached the silo.


Jeff Tracy had just finished helping his youngest to sleep, the billionaire headed back toward the lounge. His sons had scattered and he found Kyrano tending to some plants near the pool, he asked the man, "Kyrano, have you seen Lady P?"

The Malaysian man answered, "By the pool."

"Of course," Jeff answered and looked to see the agent of pink lounging by the pool.

As he walked forward, her phone rang and she picked it up, "Parker…"


Alan and Fermat entered the silo for the Thunderbird One and Fermat asked, "Alan! We're not supposed to be in here!"

Alan ignored his friend and then typed in Thunderbird One's access code. Fermat asked, "Where did you get the access code for Thunderbird one anyway?"

"Fermat my friend, what you don't know can't hurt you," Alan replied as the door lifted open.


"I'll be right there," Lady P finished the phone call with Parker and then spoke to Jeff, "It seems the fire at the oil rig was no accident."

"Any suspects?"

"Not yet, but I'll keep you posted."

Jeff helped the women stand and said, "Thank you for bringing Alan and Kathryn home."

"My pleasure. Any excuse to visit paradise," Lady P smiled and then began to walk with Jeff to her car.

Tintin passed by asking where Alan went and Jeff answered, "I don't know, nor where Fermat went. They left while we were eating, so they should be somewhere around here."

"How's Kathryn?"

Jeff answered the worried friend, "She's alright, asleep, but alright. Tomorrow we are going to do something, so I hope you can join us."

Tintin smiled, thanked Jeff, and then ran over her father. Lady P said to Jeff something about romance with Tintin and Alan, but Jeff didn't believe it. They laughed and then he escorted her to her car.

They parted and Jeff headed toward his office, where immediately a warning from Thunderbird One came blaring in. He sighed and said, "I guess I know where Alan went."

The disappointed father turned off the engines of the almost fully started Thunderbird. He turned on the video phone and spoke to his son with slight anger and disappointment, "Alan my office, now."

Moments later Alan entered his father's office, "Dad, I know your mad I shouldn't have been in the ship, but if you could just give me a min…"

Jeff interrupted the teenager, "You're damn right you shouldn't have been in there."

"But... nothing happened Dad, I had it under control."

"Under control?" Jeff sarcastically spoke, "Do you have any idea the importance of secrecy in our operation? You fired up a thunderbird without activating the anti-detecting shield. You put everyone in danger when you act selfishly, not to mention your argument with your sister. What you said to her was uncalled for and childish. You want to be part of the team? You have to play by the rules. You understand? Do you?"

Alan spoke with more force, "Yeah, I understand. I understand you don't want me to become a Thunderbird. You don't want me to do anything. All you let me do is train and say 'I'm missing something' but I don't see what I'm missing because you never tell me! You won't even listen to me when I am trying to tell you something important!"

"I've heard enough. You're grounded for rest of spring break," Jeff turned his chair back to his desk.

"But Dad!"

"Bottom-line Alan, you need to grow up and act responsible. Your actions have effect's on the one person who really wants to be your sibling, but your childish actions affective them in ways you don't see. So, grow up."

Alan spoke forcefully towards his father, "Then let me." The angered teenager walked away from his father and as he walked out the door, said softly, "please."

Jeff ran a hand through his hair and continued his work. A video call a came in and John from Thunderbird Five came in. "Hey John."

"Hey Dad. How's Kathryn?"

Jeff laughed slightly at his second oldest first question. Of course the platinum blond would ask about his sister, "She's fine. Sleeping now. At dinner, Alan and her had one of their usual arguments, but because of her recent attack, Alan's outburst had almost caused another. When will those two ever get along?"

John winced as his father told of the earlier disagreement, then replied, "Maybe when Alan sees how much they are alike? Or when Alan finally gets it through his head, he means more to her than what he thinks. They are twins."

"Yes, but Alan acts angry and childish," Jeff retorted.

John cocked an eyebrow, "Are you sure it's anger and not something else? Say, overprotectiveness that he doesn't know how to control? They both are only fourteen."

Jeff sighed and agreed with his son. He asked, "Since when did you get so smart on Alan and Kathryn?"

"Since both of them always come to me to sort anger or other emotions. I seem to be a bridge between the two," the blond laughed slightly. Jeff joined him.

"That is true," he added, "Is there anything we should be watching out for?"

John looked at the many screens in front of the astronaut, "Got a forest fire in Vladivostok and a typhoon heading for Singapore."

"Thanks John, keep an eye on that Typhoon for us and I'll call Vladivostok and see if they need any help with the fire," Jeff told his is son tiredly.

"FAB, Dad. Sleep tight," John pressed the buttons on the panel in front of him and signed off the call.

Jeff called Vladivostok and after confirming they didn't need any help, headed toward bed for some must needed sleep.

No one on Tracy Island expected what would happen next as a dark ship approached Tracy Island from underwater.


(Time Skip - 1st Person)

I awoke to the morning sunlight as it caressed my tired eyes. It was a good sleep and surprisingly I didn't have any of yesterday's pain. Which is a first for an attack and then an almost attack.

I pushed myself off the bed and changed out of my pajamas. It was warm outside, so I went with jean shorts a yellow top that John had gotten me. It is the color of his thunderbird, so I can see why he bought it. I also slipped on a pair of my favorite black high tops. I loved wearing the school uniform and nice clothes Lady P bought me, but on days like today, I went with the easy, casual look.

I headed out toward the kitchen and noticed my father reading a paper at the table and Onaha was making something that smelt delicious. I asked the Malaysian women, "What are you making for Breakfast? It smells wonderful."

Onaha smiled at me, "It is one of your favorites. My breakfast quiche with extra spices added. Just the way you like it."

My grin widen. I love her homemade, from scratch, quiche recipe. I was now in a heavenly bliss.

My father had stood up from the table and walked toward me, "How do you feel today Kathryn?"

"I feel like nothing happened," I grinned at him.

He returned that grin and that's when my brothers barged into the room. We all sat down and ate breakfast. It was then, I noticed someone's face wasn't there, "Where's Alan?"

Scott looked at Virgil and at Dad. He then Dad spoke to me, "Yesterday Alan was punished because he entered Thunderbird One without permission, how he got the codes, still slips my mind."

Gordon spoke up, "He's probably blowing some steam somewhere on the island."

I looked at my brothers and my father and something tells me they didn't want me to do anything about it. I stood up and said, "I'm going to go find him. I know he didn't mean to say what he did yesterday."

Scott immediately stood and grabbed my arm, "Kathryn, I don't think that's a good idea. Alan almost caused you to have an attack yesturday. Maybe you should stay your distances."

My hypothesis was correct. They didn't want me near Alan at all. I retorted, "No, I want to see him and don't stop me." With that I left the room. I quickly grabbed my bag that holds all my archery equipment and ran out the door, not caring about the yelling from my brothers and father.

I continued until I found my older twin skipping rocks into the ocean. I walked up to him, "Hey, Alan!"

"Kathryn?" his tone was as if he was surprised to see me, "I thought Dad and everyone else would try to keep you a distance from me. I did upset you last night.

"Yeah, well we both had to have a part in that. Also, I can do what I want and see who I want. We're not kids anymore."

"In some cultures we are," Alan spoke as he threw another rock.

I looked at him in disbelief. I thought Dad was saying he was failing. I asked, "I knew you were smarter then you led everyone else to believe. Why don't you show it in school?"

He stopped throwing rocks, "I don't because nothing I do will ever be as good as you or anyone else."

"You seriously can't believe that! Fermat tells me all about your track medals and trophies. I know your just as great as everyone else, so show it sometimes!"

"You don't get how I feel! I'm not 'Miss Perfect' and I sure am not as lucky as you!"

Alan's comment angered me, "You think I'm lucky! I have a disease that affects my entire life. I can't do track or any other sport, I barely got away with archery and that's pushing it. There are sometimes I wish I was you and had your life!"

My breathing hitched and suddenly it got harder to breathe. Out of nowhere, Tintin came from the jungle. She came to my side and told me, "Kathryn, just breathe deeply and calm yourself. It's not bad, just calm yourself."

I listened and just as Tintin said, I was able to calm myself. These happened periodically. I forget to breathe or I talk to much, or in this case, scream, my breathing acts up.

I looked at my brother, he'd probably be smirking for all I knew. So when I saw his face, I was surprised. His face twisted with a mix of worry and regret. Did Alan actually care for me and his anger was just an act?

Quickly, his face changed and returned to normal. Before he could say anything, a blast sounded throughout the island and we saw Thunderbird Three launching into space. A space mission? Then Fermat came rushing out of the jungle, coming from the house. He was frantic. "Alan, Kathryn, Tintin! Thunderbird Five has been hit, Thunderbird Five has been hit!"

My thoughts went straight to John, was he alright? What happened?

My thoughts were brought back to reality as the boy genius continually repeated what he was saying, even as Alan grabbed the young boy saying, "Okay, okay, okay, don't panic, don't panic." There was a bubbling noise and Alan looked toward the ocean. A ship appeared, "On the other hand, RUN!"

We ran into the jungle, but Alan and Fermat had to see what was happening. As we got to the edge of the forest, we could see people getting out of the sub. Alan spoke franticly and almost scared, "How'd they find the island? Do you think it was what I did in Thunderbird One? Do you think I ruined everything?"

"No," Fermat spoke, "The compound we found could have some transmitting capability."

Compound? What was Fermat talking about? Then I remembered Dad had said that Alan was punished for entering Thunderbird One, I think Scott said that he activated by accident. Gordon said he did it on purpose.

Tintin spoke, "We have to do something."

"My dad is in the control room, but we have to go through the jungle," Fermat commented.

I interjected, "Never mind about the jungle, we might have to deal with whoever those people are on the island. And by the looks of it, they seem to be near the house. We need to find out what's going on."

Tintin and Fermat agreed while Alan seemed like he didn't approve, "I do think we should see what's happening, but not you, Kathryn. If Dad or the others found out I let you go into danger like this, they kill me. Also, what if you have an attack?"

This fumed me, "So what! Our family and our family's business, all the work everyone has put into it, could be ruined by this! I want to help as much as I can, just like you. Alan, we're family and we need to stick together," I looked at Fermat and Tintin, "we all need to."

Alan agreed and Fermat asked, "So, now what do we do?"

Alan spoke up, "The vents," we started to run, "let's go, we have to get a message to my dad."

- Time Skip - Hood is in the control room, the kids are in the vent, happens after the Hood tells Jeff and the boys, "You can call me the Hood." -

We listened to the conversation between the Hood and my family, "... Now, listen Mr. Tracy, we won't be negotiating. I'm going to use the Thunderbirds to rob the largest banks in the world, starting with the Bank of London. The world's monitoring system will be thrown into chaos and the Thunderbirds held responsible."

"You'll never get away with it!" Scott screamed.

My father questioned the maniac, "Why the Thunderbirds?"

"An eye for an eye, Mr. Tracy."

"An eye for an eye?"

The Hood continued his rant, "Perhaps you've forgotten me, but not saving the life of my brother, Kyrano."

One of the goons grabbed Kyrano and shoved him toward the video screen. He franticly said, "I'm sorry Mr. Tracy, I thought he was dead."

We took our heads out of the hole and Tintin gasped, "that would make The Hood, my uncle?"

I interjected, "Doesn't mean it should affect you, Tintin. You're my best friend and I wouldn't change that."

"Every family has a black sha..sha...," Fermat sneezed. Quickly, Alan and Tintin helped the boy hold in his sneeze, but it was still noticeable. "Sorry, this rooms murdered my allergies."

Quietly, we put out heads back through the hole.

The Hood continued, "You left me to die that day. You may have broken my body that day, but you have no idea how powerful my mind has become."

What was this guy saying? Dad would never leave anyone to die. Would he?

He continued, "Now you will suffer, just as I have suffered. Waiting for a rescue that will never come."

"Wait..," my father spoke, but The Hood motioned to the interesting looking female goon, and she hit the control panel. Shutting down everything on Thunderbird Five. I could feel Alan tense beside me. He and I were thinking the same thing. No way were we going to let that monster continue with this.

Fermat moved away from the hole as another sign of sneeze was coming. This time, Alan and Tintin were too late.

We could hear the bigger goon coming near the vent we were in and Alan whispered, "Go!" As we tried to exit the vent, goon named Mullion, grabbed Fermat through the celling. He couldn't get loose. Luckily, Tintin bit the hand that had Fermat trapped and we exited through the shaft. Heading down toward the loading silos of the Thunderbirds.

We hopped onto Thunderbird Two's loading dock. Alan guided it toward floor and as we tried to reach the closing silos, we couldn't reach one in time. Alan quickly thought of a plan that involved the Firefly and the Thunderiser. As they ran off to the machines, Fermat hastily told me to grab Thunderbird Two's guidance processor. I didn't question the boy genius, I just nodded and ran. Along with the processor I grabbed my archery equipment. It might come in handy.

I ran back towards the hanger just as Alan was screaming, "Where's Kathryn?"

Tintin screamed, "Kathryn!"

I caught up to them and we ran into the newly made hole in the silo. Alan ran towards the service entrance. Shorty he spoke franticly, "We can't go this way. He's here."

The goons and The Hood pushed us towards the center of the silo, underneath Thunderbird One. I could hear the machine hiss above us. Fermat screamed, "What do we do Alan?"

"I don't know, I'm thinking," he looked around, "keep stepping back, I have an idea." He grabbed his rock skipper and aimed it a The Hood, then shot.

We looked at him like he was crazy.

The Hood dodged the rock, "Now, now, Alan. It's not me your mad at."

"It's not you I'm aiming at," my brother shot another rock and it landed on the hatch button. Suddenly the floor was brought up from under us and we were sent down the tubes. We thought we were home free, until the roaring of Thunderbird One's engines came through the tunnel. We looked back and saw massive flames reaching out towards us.

Luckily the water came a lot quicker then expected.

Now what was going to happen?


Talk about a long chapter. Now along with my disclaimer above, I also don't own some of the writing in this. I took some of the dialogue from the movie. I hope some people can notice my differences too.

Thank you all for commenting and favoriting or following, it means a lot. Sorry for the long update to!

I'm on a roll, so there should be more soon! Long weekend for me, so hopefully!

Thank you again!
