Main Characters: Alan, John, Scott, TinTin
Summary:

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 7 -
(1st Person)
As Lady Penelope and myself entered the Bank, we could hear the rummaging of the minions and the Hood coming from the vault. She motioned me to stay behind while she looked into it. Before we knew it, the big goon, who I remembered was called "oaf" by Lady Penelope popped out of the entrance. Quickly, I moved behind a desk station that was nearby and hid myself. I could hear struggling and when I looked out of my hiding space. I could see Lady Penelope guiding the "oaf" back into the room with a gun in her hand. I followed quietly.
In the vault, the Hood had created a humongous mess of the place with the mole. There was pieces of the wall everywhere and the goons were taking as many jewels, cash, and gold they could grab, or judging by the woman, down her bra. Not something I wanted to see. I swiftly hid behind one of the cages. I listened to their conversation.
The Hood looked at Lady Penelope as she had her gun pointed at him, he didn't even flinch at it. He laughed and then looked at a diamond in his hand, inspecting it, "Ashes to ashes, diamonds to diamonds. Lady Penelope, what an unpleasant surprise."
"Don't be rude. I can't tell you what a pleasure it would be to use my little finger to pull this big trigger. Now, DON'T move," the female spy added with force.
As if not sensing the threat, the Hood ordered, "Mullion." The Hood then used his abilities to take the weapon out of Lady Penelope's hands and the big "oaf" grabbed her.
She screamed at the Hood, "That's not cricket!"
"I'm sorry, the only part of sport I liked was winning," laughed the Hood.
"How ghastly!" Lady Penelope spat as the good shoved her into a cage. She tried to us her bag to hit the man, but it didn't work to well. The goon took her hands and cuffed them up to one of the bars.
The Hood walked over to Lady P, "Finish her off Mullion."
Lady Penelope laughed, "Shame on you. I always despises a man who delegates the important jobs." The Hood laughs slightly and walks away. The goon or Mullion goes closer to Lady P, "Oh dream on, sad-act." Mullion laughs and then takes Lady P's face into his hands.
Ugh! How could Lady Penelope let them do this to her? Then I realized after she didn't fight back, she's buying time.
Mullion moves away from Lady P and continues to play with the cash, jewelry and gold. He even places a crown on top of his, a female crown. I had to hold in my laughter. I tried to move closer to the Hood and was able to hear his conversation to Mullion, "The Thunderbirds, they're here. Kill them all"
My eyes light up, everything at the scene must have went well and they're hear to help. Mullion and the women run out the entrance and from my hiding spot, I move further away. But, from my clumsiness, I hit a piece of the wall which makes a loud noise. The goons completely forget about it, but the Hood doesn't. My hat and glasses are still placed on my face, so when the Hood comes toward me, he doesn't recognize me as a Tracy. "Now who might this be? Seems to me like a miniature version of Lady Penelope."
"Stay away from her!" Lady Penelope yells from the cage.
Quickly I run from my position and try to make it over to Lady P, but the Hood's ability stops me. My body is then flung against one of the walls. I can feel pieces of the destroyed wall bedding into my backside, along with my weaker bones bruising and probably breaking from the impact of the wall.
My hat and glasses fall off. Revealing my long platinum blonde hair and baby blue eyes.
Even though my body aches and my vision is blurring, I sit up from my position. I can feel the blood dripping down my back and onto the ground. I look at the Hood leaning over, as if weak of power. So, that's what Alan meant in Thunderbird One. The Hood's weakness.
The Hood notices me now, "Well, now this must be the female Tracy. Jeff's only daughter and youngest child. How exciting! Come to be a hero like your father and brothers, but like them before you, no one will be able to save you." He laughs and then come closer to me.
"That's where your wrong," I yell. Acting instinctively, I grab the box from my belt and my bow appears in my hand. A specialized arrow appears and with my skills from school, I shoot an arrow towards the Hood. Or so he thinks. He dodges the arrow, laughing. The specialized arrow or what I like to call, Rang, short for Boom-a-Rang, comes back at the Hood and embeds itself into the Hoods backside. Not fatal, but sure did weaken him.
"You little girl!" The Hoods eyes change and he uses his ability to once again fling me into the wall. This one closer to Lady Penelope. She tries to move, but can't because of the cuffs. I meet eye-to-eye with her and then wince in pain. More wall and pain are added to my awareness. I don't think I can get up from this one. Even though I can't get up, I can still see the events happening around me.
As if on cue, my father runs into the room. The Hood moves away from me and moves toward Lady Penelope. My father runs toward her screaming, "Penny!"
"Jeff, no!" she screams toward my father. He turns around and is face-to-face with the Hood.
"Did you save them all, Jeff?" the madman laughs, "Or did you leave someone behind?" He laughs again and then looks toward me in the rubble.
My father turns around and notices me, "Kathryn!" He turns back toward the Hood, "I didn't make you what you are."
The Hood laughs, "It's not me you have to convince." He looks at me first and then at Alan who had just barged through the entrance.
My father furiously states, "Leave my children out of this!"
Not knowing of the Hoods abilities, runs at the Hood. I try to yell and I can hear Alan and Lady Penelope yelling him to stop, but we are too late. The Hood uses his abilities and slams my father into the cage, his back hitting the bars. Alan runs toward the cage and screams for our father. My twin turns back toward the Hood. Although in pain, my father pushes himself and moves toward me. The bars are hindering our connection and both of our body's are beaten, we still try to lock hands.
Our attention is turned back to when the Hood speaks, "I'm disappointed in you Alan. I thought we were kindred spirits."
I notice something that surprises me, the Hood is walking with a limp. I guess my arrow did weaken him, since it was still sticking out of his backside.
With anger Alan replies, "Well we're not. I'm Jeff Tracy's son." Alan then runs toward the Hood, just like my father before.
I try to scream at him to stop, but can't get a word out. The familiar sensation of being out of breath is affecting me. The injuries I have received are starting an attack. I look toward my father and he tries to push himself against the bars. Only in time to see his son, my twin, shoved against the wall. Judging of the force, I can see some ribs were either bruised very badly or worse, broken. My father screams, "Alan!"
I look toward my brother and he's getting back up. What does he think he's doing? I looked back at the Hood and noticed his movements were slower and you could tell he was becoming weaker. Not just the arrow in his back was making him weak, but also the fact that when he used his powers, it made him weak. The Hood grunts and uses his abilities to stand on a construction escape above the mole.
My father yells toward his son, "Alan stay back!"
The Hood laughs, "You want so bad to be in 'Daddy's' footsteps." Then using his abilities, grabs Alan by the neck. It's choking my brother.
I try to move from my place on the ground, I can feel my back and more noticeably, my ribs, protest, but bite back the pain. My breathing has become worse and worse as pain gets worse and worse, but I need to do something. Using the bars beside me to stand, I successfully pick myself up. My twin is still in the Hoods grasps above me. I try to grab my bow, which had returned to the box shape on my belt, but I failed. I almost fell in the process. I can hear my father and Lady Penelope yelling at the Hood to let him go.
After a long period of time, the Hood finally drops my brother. I can hear my brother gasping for breath and I see the Hood leaning over, weak. That explains why he dropped my brother. My father tries to make Alan retreat, but he ignores it, saying he can stop the Hood. Alan tells our father, "He's getting weaker, he can't last much longer."
As Alan runs toward the Hood my father desperately yells toward his son, "Neither can you!"
Alan starts to climb the mole. I try to move closer to the cage opening, to let my father and Lady P out, but this time I do fall. I gasp at the pain. My father moves toward me, "Kathryn! Stay where you are!" I don't complain since I can barely move and mu breathing has become worse. I at least try to sit up and manages to slightly sit up, adrenaline is still racing through my veins, keeping me awake. My breathing, however is becoming more and more difficult.
I look back at Alan and he's now on the mole and with the Hoods abilities, he makes the mole move, with Alan on it. Alan jumps on to the edge of the construction railing, just below the Hood. The madman laughs, "I'm glad you're here to see this Jeff!" He then puts his feet on top of Alan's hands as my brother is trying to hold on for his life. I can hear his screams as one of his hands drops.
Out of the corner of my eye, I see Tintin race into the room. I can hear others behind her.
Tintin looks and see Alan on the edge of the construction walkway above the moving mole with the Hood. The madman is about to make Alan fall to his death. She screams, very loudly, as if with some sort of ability. My best friend then grabs her necklace and looks directly at the Hood with tiger-like eyes. He sees it as challenge and with similar eyes, stares back.
As if their minds are battling it out, the next thing I see is Alan is now on top and the Hood is dangling toward his death. Tintin grabs her head. Soon, my brothers along with Fermat and Parker run into the Bank. How fast they cleaned up! The see Alan above the mole with the Hood.
The Hood speaks toward Alan, "Leave me Alan. Leave me to die. Like your father did," the Hood's arms fall of the walkway and Alan quickly catches him.
"I don't want save your life, but it's what we do," Alan states.
I look towards my father and smile, but as all the adrenaline from before that was keeping me awake fades, I feel myself slump against the bars and onto the ground.
(3rd Person - General) - Time Rewind to when Brothers, Fermat, and Parker Enter Room -
As the four Tracy brothers accompanied by Fermat and Parker, run into the bank vault, they never expected this. The youngest son of the Tracy's is hanging with the Hood in his hands, above the moving Mole which could potentially kill them both. The Tracy patriarch is locked inside one the cages for safe keeping along with Lady Penelope and to make things worse, the youngest Tracy, is laying on the ground, hurt and in pain.
They all react quickly to where they are needed. First, they take off their helmets. They had placed them on when they entered Thunderbird Two and had noticed the huge crowd of people. Having their identities known to the entire population of London, wouldn't help in any way.
Scott and Gordon moved to help stop the Mole and to help Alan. Gordon successfully stops the Mole and Scott helps Alan get the Hood over the ledge. Then the older Tracy helps secure the Hood in a place where the London Police will get him. Before entering the Bank, Scott made sure they were informed.
Parker helps Lady Penelope and Jeff out of the cage. The butler then helps unhand cuff Lady Penelope from the bars. While John helps his father, well as much as he can. His right arm in constricted to a sling from Thunderbird Five.
Virgil, luckily with needed medical supplies, moves toward his younger sister. He notices the blood coming from her back, how her breathing is moving too quickly, and the fact that she is now unconscious. His father and John join him. Jeff asks his son as the medic is bandaging his daughter's entire midriff, "How bad is she, Virgil?"
"I can't tell from right now, but I do know she needs more medical attention. Should we take her to a hospital?" the medic of the family questions as he places an oxygen mask over his sister's petite face.
The father ponders on the thought. How could he explain this to the doctors? Then he remembers his wife's friend who has helped them in times past, before Virgil became the family doctor. "Let's take her home and John, I need you to contact a doctor we used to see all the time for Kathryn. Her name is Dr. Lanora Gardner and she lives here in London. This has to be the safest way for everyone. I don't want the press to find out anything."
His sons nodding at their father's decision. The press only knew small detail on Alan and Kathryn, they sure didn't want the media to have word of the twins being injured. Virgil continues to aid his sister. The medic grabs a hover-backboard from his pack. It's a newer invention that, surprisingly, Kathryn had helped invent. Just like her bows and arrows, she helped International Rescue create some interesting devices. This board would first look like a box, but once the action-release button was pressed, an instant hover-backboard was created. It helped in situations like this, since the board could also help the victim. Instead of the medic having to roll the person onto the board, the board itself would form around the victim as medic ordered it to. Virgil thought to himself as he activated the medical device, "I'd never thought I'd be using this device on my sister."
John asked their father, "Where should I contact her? Also, how will she get to the island?"
Lady Penelope notices her friend's sons dilemma, "Parker and I can contact her and bring the doctor to the island. I think I have met her a couple times."
"Thank you Penny," Jeff nods. John hands the number to the spy, but before she leaves, the London Police show up. Lady Penelope walks towards an investigator on the scene, "The Thunderbirds aren't the people responsible for the actions. The man called the Hood and his associates caused the destruction of the Bank and put the people of London in harm. I trust you won't do anything towards the Thunderbirds or say anything without my say in it? This includes their identities, Inspector Watkins?"
"Of course, Lady Penelope. As the many years and cases you have helped the London Police, we follow your word," the investigator nervously answers, "Their secret is safe." Now actually looking at the Thunderbirds, he notices the famous rescue team is none other then the Tracy's of America.
"Brilliant. I trust you will help them in any way. One of their members is severely injured, so I must be on my way," Lady Penelope brushes aside the officers and investigator with Parker right behind her.
Near the mole, Scott is holding the Hood's hands behind his back, while Alan is heavily leaning against a wall close-by. Investigator Watkins and a couple of officers walk toward Scott with handcuffs, "Mr…uhh.. We can take the perp from here."
Scott nods while handing the madman to the Police and then moves toward Alan. His older brother instincts noticing how his younger brother holds his right side and how much weight the blond is putting on the wall. Before he can question anything, Gordon runs up to them. Jeff runs over to his other sons, "We can worry about the Mole later, the London Police will have this place blocked off for awhile and their are too many people outside. First of all, Kathryn needs to get back to the island." The father glances at his youngest son, "As does Alan."
Alan looks toward his father, "Dad. I'm fi.." The blond had tried to move from his position, but after all the events of that day, had finally succumbed to the painlessness of unconsciousness like his twin before him. Scott noticing his brother's movements, quickly caught the boy before he could hurt himself even more. The eldest son gathered his brother into his arms.
"Scott, is Thunderbird Two close by?" Seeing his young twins both fall unconscious made the father even more worried.
"Yeah, we placed it near the back entrance of bank, near where you put Thunderbird One."
"Good, bring Alan there now and then take Tintin and Fermat with you back to the island. Gordon go with Scott and take John back with you. I have noticed his injury is now causing him bother, even though he won't say anything. Once you get there, get him to sit with Alan, then start up Thunderbird Two. We will need to leave once we get Kathryn onboard." Jeff ordered his sons. Then yelled to the others, "John, Tintin, Fermat, come over here." John, Tintin, and Fermat move toward Jeff. He spoke to them, "John, I want you to head up to Thunderbird Two with Gordon, I know you want to help out here, but I would rather have you with Alan and Gordon. As you can see," pointing toward Alan in Scott's arms, "Alan passed out seconds ago and I'd rather not have you doing the same." John as if about to say something was shushed by his father, "I want you to be with Alan till we get there." The blond nodded toward his father.
The group then left along with some officers who escorted them. The London Police was helping the Tracy's get safely to their machines. Before exiting the scene, the brothers place their helmets on, securing their identities. While the London Police covered the others from the crowd.
Jeff moved back to Virgil, who seemed almost ready with moving Kathryn safely, "Is there anything you need me to do?"
"Not medically, all the medical supplies I have with me are working fine, but I will need more and I'll need Dr. Gardner for some of her more extensive injuries. As of right now, her back is severely injured along with more then half of her ribs. That doesn't even include the blood loss and how heavily she breathing. The injures have sparked an attack, so what I need you to do, is help me get Kathryn to Thunderbird Two," the medic franticly spoke to his father.
Virgil put on his helmet and handed his father the others. The sons had made sure their father had his helmet too. Jeff nodded and then helped his son with getting his daughter to the safety of Thunderbird Two.
In a blur of watchers and officers, Jeff and Virgil made it by safely without jostling Kathryn too much. Virgil brought his sister to the infirmary while Jeff moved toward the front of Thunderbird Two. Gordon was waiting for him. Taking off his helmet, Jeff sat in the main control. The father finished diagnostics for takeoff and thus, they were off to their island.
Scott contacted them through Thunderbird One, "Dad, we're are almost back and Lady Penelope wanted me to let you know she has Dr. Gardner and they should be arriving the same time you are."
"Alright Scott, make sure the infirmary is ready and check the others for injuries. I'd rather not have anyone else be hurt. We'll see you soon." Jeff replied.
"FAB, Dad," Scott ended the transition. He wanted to ask his father on the twin's condition, but left it aside.
Jeff stretched in his chair as he piloted Thunderbird Two home. His back slightly ached and he had a feeling it was from the bars the Hood sent him into, but he would rest after his twins were on the mend and not the other way around. "They were both only fourteen, so why had they received the most injuries," Jeff wondered. "Why to my babies?"
As Jeff ponders on these thoughts, John's voice comes through the intercom, "Gordon I need you here NOW!"
Gordon looks at his father and before Jeff knows it, his water loving son is already moving toward the infirmary.
So what of this chapter? I hope you all like my twists and turns to the movie-line that I have created. The rest is all my work, so enjoy my vision with Kathryn of the recovery. Enjoy!
