Three days.

It had been three days since Heather was kidnapped and Zach was done just sitting around waiting at his grandparents house. The past of their parents had been explained to the kids, all except for Linsey who was just told that mommy and daddy took Heather on a trip. From the instant he found out Zach wanted to do something, to go save them, to help. But his grandparents and Wade wouldn't hear of it, until the earthquakes started.

They were felt all around the globe and by Wade's calculations, they were only going to get worse.

"Shouldn't mom and dad have stopped this by now? You said they used to deal with these people all the time?" Emily questioned Wade over their video call.

"You're parents aren't answering their phones and neither is Heather, Bonnie probably disabled them all" Wade sadly admitted with a shake of his head.

"Can i go after them now?" Zach pleaded

"No, nobody else is getting mixed up in this" Emily sternly told her brother

"But what if they're dead?" Zach fearfully asked

"They are not dead" Emily told him, on the verge of tears. She knew it was possible, but the idea of her parents and sister dead was something that she just couldn't handle.

Just then there was a knock at the door

"Can somebody get that?" Mrs. Possible called from upstairs and seeing as he had once again be forbidden to go after his family, Zach went to answer the door.

Grumbling to himself, Zach opened the door to see a boy about the same age as his older sisters standing on the other side.

"Hey um is Heather here? I talked to Emily during school and she said that you guys were at your grandparents?" The boy asked seeming unsure of if he was in the right place or not.

An idea formed in Zach's mind. He figured that this was the guy Heather had become friends with, he hoped he really liked her.

"Yeah come in" Zach said, leading the boy into the living room where Emily was still talking to Wade using the video call on the TV.

"Cam?" Emily asked surprised and slightly annoyed that Heather's friend actually cared enough to come check up on her

"What if he comes with me?" Zach blurted out which earned him a very confused look from Cam.

"No way!" Emily argued but Wade actually considered the idea, Cam just stood there completely lost.

"Actually that's not a bad idea" Wade finally said

"What?" Emily questioned

"Wait what's happening?" Cam asked more confused than anything but he was ignored.

"Emily we don't know what's happening with your parents or with Heather and if they're in real trouble then so is the rest of the world, we need to send somebody" Wade said, trying to reason with Emily.

"Wait Heather's in trouble?" Cam interrupted, suddenly more afraid than confused.

Emily turned to look at him, then she turned back to Wade and then to Cam again.

"Heather was kidnapped. Our parents went after her but they haven't come back and we haven't heard from them. The earthquakes that hit last night were not natural. They going to keep coming and getting worse and most likely… Heather's trapped at the epicenter" Emily explained trying to hold herself together. She needed Heather, Heather was the strong one. Heather was the brave one, the one who knew how to hope for the best and prepare for the worst simultaneously, she could hide her fear.

Cam's eyes grew wide at Emily's explanation. He had suspected that she was lying about her sister being sick but this, this he never could've imagined.

Finally he turned his gaze to the african american man on the TV screen

"You know where she is?" He questioned

"I know where her parents are, most likely she's in the same place. If you're willing to go i can get you there" Wade answered and Cam nodded.

"I'll get the other guys, it'll be better to have four guys instead of one" he said

"Four? I thought Heather was the fourth person in your little group?" Emily questioned wondering who she was forgetting

"I thought your brother said he was coming?" Cam questioned and despite Emily trying to argue Zach ended up on the mission.


Heather paced her around her cell in circles thinking, she had to get out of here but she didn't know where on earth she was. She could be hundreds of miles away from the Senior's island and what if she were on another island? How would she get off?

"Well guess i have no choice" she muttered before putting her plan, which wasn't exactly good but was her best shot, into action.

She screamed.

She wasn't angry but she let loose a scream of bloody murder, it was the only way she was sure she could get the attention of Drakken.

Sure enough after a few minutes Drakken burst through the door of the dark room where he found Heather calmly sitting up against the back wall, she kind of enjoyed watching the panic on her father's face grow when he saw nothing was wrong.

"Did you scream?" He asked after catching his breath, Heather stood up and walked to the bars of the cell.

"Didn't know how else to get your attention" she said with a shrug.

Drakken glared at her irritated, she had nearly given him a heart attack.

"What did you need my attention for?" He inquired, he had been holding her captive for two days now and she had never once tried to get his attention. She had never complained that her food was always covered in dirt from being thrown onto her floor, never complained that she had to sleep on the dirt floor and didn't even whine about that bathroom being just an old bucket which Drakken had thrown into the cell.

"Where am i?" She demanded, Drakken only looked at her quizzically

"Hm? What do you mean where are you? Your in a prison cell in my lair!" He answered but Heather shook her head

"No i mean where on the planet am i?" She questioned again

"Oh, i'm not telling you" Drakken replied, he wasn't a expert at holding hostages but he knew enough to keep them as in the dark as possible.

Heather only rolled her eyes as she shoved her hands into her sweatshirt pocket, just to be safe.

"Can't you feel the earthquakes?" She demanded but didn't give Drakken a chance to answer

"Bonnie is using your machine to get money from world leaders. You're the only one who actually knows how to shut that thing down and considering my adoptive parents haven't figured it out by now I'm guessing that they can't" Heather tried to explain. It felt strange calling Kim and Ron her adoptive parents, obviously that's what they are but she had always just called them her parents and suspected that she would even if she ended up telling Drakken the truth.

"So what?" Drakken questioned

"I can always make another world domination device" he gloated, Heather narrowed her eyes.

"How are you going to rule the world if there's nothing to rule?" She questioned smugly and Drakken seemed to consider this.

"It won't get that far" Drakken said

"It could" Heather argued.

"Junior isn't all the bright and something tells me Bonnie isn't great with machines. One wrong move and the whole world is in ruins" she continued, she really hated to think like that but she had to say something, anything, to get out of this cell.

Drakken thought about this for a moment, yes he knew that his prisoner was trying to save the world and he wanted so badly to rule it, but she did have a point. The Seniors would be able to mess up the machine's operating system fairly easily but they have all those machine based security measures right? If they can manage those than surely they can manage his machine.

"Nice try Heather" Drakken sneered to which Heather groaned

"You do realize that i can break out of here and escape on my own right?" Heather asked but Drakken merely laughed

"I'd love to see you try" he taunted, thinking that if Heather hadn't broken herself out of the prison cell by now than it meant that she couldn't.

But of course Drakken didn't know the reason she had hung around. Now however, Heather decided that it was time to go.

So she reached her hand through the bars and gripped the lock of her cell tight, Drakken took an alarmed step towards the cage.

"Er what are you doing?" He questioned

Heather took a breath, she knew who to think of in order to get herself angry but she had to say something first, so she had to keep calm.

"I spent so many years, wondering what could've possibly happened to me. I thought maybe i was experimented on, maybe my mother was experimented on, maybe i was an accident created in a lab, i didn't know. But i wondered how my birth parents could've given me up when there is something so clearly wrong with me" she began.

Drakken stared at the girl in total confusion. What did she mean there was something clearly wrong with her? She seemed fine to him. Why was she telling him any of this to begin with? And why did she look like she was going to cry?

"And now i know. I know that if you hadn't cut Shego off that night or at least gone after her then she could've finished that sentence" Heather continued but this only confused Drakken even more, he has never exactly been great at putting two and two together.

"Wait what? What are you talking about kid?" He asked her, she looked him dead in the eye.

"That fight. I know what she was trying to tell you" Heather informed her captor who only stared at her dumbfounded.

"How could you possibly know what Shego was trying to say? I doubt you were even born yet!" Drakken exclaimed, the irony of that statement completely unknown to him.

"You're right, your fight happened before i was born. Nine months before i was born to be exact" she said with a snicker, and yes she knew that it could've been eight months but she didn't really care about the technicality with the weeks at this point.

"Wait… hang on how do you know?" Drakken babbled as though he may be piecing the information together.

"Sorry dad" Heather apologized and with that, and the thought of her birth mother, she ignited her hand and melted the lock.

Drakken of course had no time to react to this and watched in shock and confusion as his child threw open the door to her cell and pushed past him.

Heather ran from the room and down the long corridor of the lair, eyes peeled for any means of escape.

"She's loose!" A guard's voice shouted as Heather sprinted down the hallway, henchmen now chasing her.

Heather glanced down at her hands and smirked to herself, they were still burning.

"I've always wanted to try this" she said to herself before turning to look behind her. As she ran she threw blasts of the green fire at the henchmen, until she completely forgot her anger and her fire disappeared.

"Ugh i can never keep it when i want it" she grumbled as she kept running.

She had to find a way out and fast. The henchmen who hadn't been slowed down by her blasts were quickly ganging on her and she was not a fast runner. Luckily she found the lair's exit before she was caught and by some even greater luck the hover car was parked on the nearby rocks.

"Really dad?" She said in mild disappointment when she found the keys had been left in the ignition.

Ignoring it she turned the key to take off and had just lifted off the ground when she heard a shout and whirled her head down to see Drakken trying to climb on over the side. Before she could even say anything, not that she could think of anything to say, Drakken tried to grab the controls from her but she held onto to them as if her life depended on it.

"Give me the controls!" Drakken ordered as Heather refused, the hover car dipping and turning out of control as they fought.

"No, i need to stop Bonnie!" Heather argued and before another word could be said the hover car went down.

Panicked by the fact that they were plunging into the water Heather screamed and released her grip on the wheel. Drakken, now with total control over the steering, pulled the hover car back up into the air.

Floating in one spot for a moment Drakken and Heather just stood there, frozen and catching their breath, before they each collapsed in a seat.
