The Incredible Future The Next Generation

Chapter 11

She was unsure of where she was. The place looked familiar, but it was out of reach to her. Her arms and legs were aching from hanging for who knows how long. She had made it out before using her force field, but she needed to wait until she was positive the coast was clear. Jimmy had set monitors all over so she wouldn't escape so easily. That made things even more difficult. Then again Syndrome's base was being monitored when they escaped. But his henchmen were distracted at the time. Who knew that someone as sinister as Syndrome could hire people as useless as those guys. They couldn't even capture a bunch of kids, super or not and they were slow to pick up that she and Dash were supers. If the costumes didn't give it away than maybe her disappearing right in front of them would. Nope it was only until Dash sped off which was like ten seconds after she turned invisible.

She knew Wilbur would be coming to find her. They had many adventures together and no matter what he always did try to save her and he wasn't even a super. He had been her hero since the first time he tried to save her. No one had ever tried to sacrifice their life for her other than her family. She loved him and her life had been an adventure with him. However she did worry for him. The last time they escaped Jimmy was mere luck. He didn't even know where she was. Part of her hoped for him to find her just so she could see him again and another part of her wanted him to not so he wouldn't be in any danger. Then there were Bobby and Helena. She would do anything to see her kids safe and sound again. As long as Jimmy was alive her family was in danger. She needed to escape and stop him now. If she had to give up her life to ensure her family's safety than so be it. Whatever was best.

Bobby, Helena and Lewis had been insisting on helping to find Violet, but Wilbur said otherwise. He didn't want to see his kids get hurt or would he risk Lewis getting hurt. He remembered what not existing felt like and he didn't want anyone in his family to experience it. The face of not existing had felt like nothing. It didn't hurt him, but it didn't feel nice either. Everything you ever were or ever did had been gone and everyone you knew never even knew you. That was not how he wanted his kids to go. All their efforts to be forgotten.

"Dad please." begged Bobby. "We love her too."

"I'm not risking losing you." he said.

"And I'm not risking losing you." Wilbur looked at his son. "My decision is final and I say you're not going." with that he headed out the door and was gone. Bobby kicked the closes thing to him, which turned out to be the couch. "it's not fair." he said angrily.

"he's only doing what's best for you." said Carl.

"But I'm not going to lose my parents. It's my fault were in this mess and I would never forgive myself if they both don't come out."

"Woah! Don't blame yourself." Carl came over to him. "Jimmy wanted to get rid of them since they were kids."

"But I should've done something when he attacked us, instead I sat there and did nothing."

"You were sick and weak. You couldn't have done anything that would help."

"It's better than not trying at all." he looked away and thought for a bit. "I don't care what dad says I'm going." he was about to leave then Carl grabbed him. "Oh no you don't. Your father said stay."

"I'm not a dog Carl and no I'm not staying while my parents get killed." Carl tried to stop him but Bobby had already ran off.

"Like father, like son." he grumbled.

" I can see what you mean." said Lewis who had watched the whole thing. "Bobby certainly got his stubbornness from Wilbur."

"It's true he resembles Wilbur when he was younger, but traits of Violet are in him too."

"Like?"

"Violet has always put family first and Bobby seems to do that too. He also shares the same kind of relationship with Helena as Violet did for both Dash and Chip.""meaning a brother and sister relationship?"

"Yes. There are the times when they disagree and there are times when they are grateful for having them as a sibling. That and also the fact of fitting in."

"what?" Lewis said a bit confused.

"When one is a super and lives in a normal world with normal people fitting is hard and you never know if your powers are going to go out of control." Carl explained. "It's a supers thing I guess. Some do fit in however." Carl got up. "What am I going to do now.?" he said suddenly panicked. "I need to get Bobby back, but I can't leave Helena alone."

Lewis was startled at his outburst, "Carl come down." Lewis patted his metal back. "You said Bobby is like his parents. If he is then he'll be fine. Right?"

"I agree but he does know how to shift the blame on me like Wilbur use to do." Carl sighed. "Speaking of Helena where is she?" Carl said realising the little girl was nowhere to be seen.

Helena wasn't going to stay here while everyone was going to get mommy. She saw Bobby walk out and she decided to follow him. She managed to sneak past Carl and the little grandpa. No one seemed to notice. Her big brother was up ahead and she thought it was best to keep her distance and wait till they were far enough from home. If she caught up to him he would most likely send her home and who knew if she could sneak out again. Also she didn't know the way to where they were going. Sure she knew the place but not how to get there. Her walk was quiet and steady and every time Bobby turned around she quickly ducked behind something.

He could have sworn someone was following him. Every time he turned around no one was there. Was it a super who could turn invisible like his mom or simply someone playing a joke on him. Oh well he had one goal on his mind and that was to get to the Old Robinson Industries. He had no time for silly, little stalkers. Maybe he could give them the slip. That way he won't feel so freaked out and protect that person from harm and their family's superhero secret. The NSA had always said they would be a difficult family to relocate as they were well known figures in the public. That and because they were a family who made the world in which they lived in today. One solution that they did come up with is that his parents would have to separate and they would have to leave their dad. He wasn't going to let that happen. Bobby quickly turned a corner and sprinted. He didn't know if his stalker was following him. He then could here a soft cry far back from where he had just been. Was it some trick? He moved back slowly and as he got closer the cries started sounding familiar. It sounded like…."Oh no please don't tell me." he said to himself. Only one person cried liked that and he knew wishing he was wrong wasn't going to happen.

Bobby was starting to detect she was on his tail. Now was definitely the time to come to him. They were far enough from home now and he couldn't send her back on her own. She was about to approach him when he suddenly dashed away from her. Helena tried to catch up to him, but he was much faster than she was. She ran as fast as she could until she was finally out of breathe. She couldn't see Bobby and she was left all alone and night was just coming. The little girl started to cry as it was the only thing she could do. Her eyes were closed, tears coming out and she was on the ground hugging herself.

She then felt someone grab her and because she was in a panic state she hesitated and tried to escape. "Calm down Helena. It's only me." said the stranger. She recognised the voice and it wasn't a stranger at all, it was Bobby. She opened her eyes and there he was right in front of her. "Bobby!" she smiled and hugged him.

"What are you doing here?" he asked once she let go.

"I wanted to help." she answered him.

"Helena you're too young." he told her.

She was sick of everyone telling her she was too young. They never gave her a chance. "Bobby don't tell me I'm too young. Dad said that about you and yet your still going so why should I have to go back." she didn't know where everything she was saying was coming from. She still continued. "it was me who saw you and mom in danger and it was me who found mom. If you give me a chance than we could save them together. Even if we don't make it at least we will all be together." she finally finished.

Bobby was speechless. Helena had always let things by and didn't care much for how she was treated or she did and she kept it bottled up inside her. "Ok I see your point, but don't hold me responsible if anything bad happens to you." he said.

Helena smiled and nodded. "You're my big brother. You wouldn't let anyone hurt me."

"unless that person was me" he joked and carried her on his back. They were almost at the Old Robinson Industries. When they arrived they could hear screaming and yelling and stuff blowing up. The good feeling the two kids had just vanished.

Bobby put Helena down quickly but gently and grabbed her hand and told her to shush. Helena obeyed and followed him. "Oh please don't let mom and dad be dead." he said in his mind. He felt Helena gripping tightly on his hand and he gripped her a little bit tighter. They entered the building and ran down the hall. It looked just like Robinson industries, except it was smaller and more rundown. They saw a flash in one corner and quickly hid behind a nearby desk. Bobby then felt a hand around his mouth and heard Helena scream. That's they're done for.

AN: I was mainly focusing on Bobby and Helena's brother and sister relationship here. Oh and the next chapter isn't going straight on whose hand got Bobby. You have to wait. Feel free to guess who, but you're not finding out till next chap.
