A/N: A new chapter sorry it took so long that is on me. (Batmarcus)
Anyway Enjoy!
"Adam, there's something I need to talk to you about." Felicity said coming over to her husband.
"Yes, what is it?" He asked.
"It's about the president. I don't know what but I just have this really bad feeling about her."
"Really?" Adam asked.
"Yes, really. Though I'm not sure we really need to look into it since this is the president of the United States we're talking about."
"Yes, you make a good point."
"So we just need a plan then." Felicity said.
"Yeah but were to start?" Adam asked.
"Well, we do have to sonic screwdrivers."
"Yes we do." Adam said.
"Then we just need to get close enough to her to get a scan."
"Good idea." Adam said.
"That shouldn't be too hard given our clearance statuses." She added.
"Yeah, do we go in together or alone?"
"I'd say together in case it gets too bad."
"Okay but we take Isa too."
"Alright," Feliss nodded. They blurred to her.
"Isa, we need your help on a mission." Adam told her.
"Sure it's been a while. What do you need?"
"We need to run a scan on the President; Feliss is getting suspicious of her."
"Why?" She asked.
"I just have a really bad feeling about her." Felicity answered.
"Well, I suppose I could look into it with you." She said.
"Thank you, it might get dangerous." Felicity said.
"Yeah it will." Adam said.
"I know that." Isabella said simply.
"Then battle suit."
"Right," Isabella nodded.
The split up to get them which, being them, it was almost literally no time. "Ready?" Feliss asked. They both nodded. "Race?" She asked.
"You're on!" They both said and were all off.
Feliss won this round. Isabella came last because she was wearing shoes. "Adam, you got faster."
"Feliss was right. The lack of shoes does help."
"Really?"
"Really," Felicity smirked.
"Well, wow." She said impressed.
"You should try it." Feliss said simply.
"I will later."
"In the meantime, let's head in." They nodded and Adam led the way in.
They got in flashing their badges and entered the president's office. "Madame President," Adam said when they came in.
"Adam." She said smiling.
"We're going to need to run a cautionary scan on you." Adam told her.
"Okay, why? Am I in danger?" She asked.
"There's an issue of national security."
"Oh, well, okay." She said.
So Feliss ran a scan with her sonic screwdriver… to say she was shocked would be the understatement if the millennium. "No! It can't be!" She said backing away. Without any time for an explanation, she grabbed Adam and Isabella's wrists and was gone.
She stopped well into Washington D.C. "What is it?" Adam asked having no idea what could freak FELICITY out THAT much.
"She's alive..." Feliss gasped.
"Who's alive?" Adam asked getting very panicked knowing there's two female's that could cause that reaction from her. Both thought to be dead for years and both a HUGE problem if their still alive and unimaginably bad if she was running the country… not to mention the fact that he had SEX WITH HER.
"Vanessa!" She said.
"Impossible!" He said and then took the screwdriver from her and just flat out threw up right there.
"Adam! What is it?" Feliss asked.
Adam wiped the vomit from his mouth and mumbled nonsense slightly then said, "I have a confession to make."
"What?" Felicity asked.
"Well… I…" Adam started but threw up again.
"Speak slowly."
"I… had an… affair." He suddenly stuttered out.
"You WHAT!?" Feliss shouted smacking him. Being Felicity that one hit alone would have packed enough force to actually kill a normal person but luckily Adam obviously isn't a normal person. She drew it back again and bunched in into a fist but before she could something stopped her. "You and her?" She asked. He nodded with a hand against his face where she hit him, "The Pizzazium Infinionite." She realized lowering her fist.
"What?" He asked.
"From back on the table, she must have found a way to reactivate it."
"So she brainwashed Adam?"
"She better have since I'd much rather have to kill her than Adam." Felicity growled.
"How will we find out?" Isabella asked.
"Same way we found out she's Vanessa. Might be better to use yours though."
"Okay," Isabella said scanning him.
"Good news, you don't have to kill Adam."
"Good." Feliss said.
"Unfortunately since he is brainwashed we'll have to speak with Candace but we'll most likely have to treat him as a threat and bring him into custody until Dr. Baljeet can remember and work up another antidote."
"Lock me up?" Adam asked.
"I'm really so, Bro." Isabella said regretfully before knocking him out.
"I'll kill her." Feliss growled.
"Of course but we need more people and an actual plan considering who we're dealing with and if she activated it in Adam she might be able to on either or both of us." Isabella pointed out catching Adam before he falls in a puddle of his own vomit.
"Right, back home then." They both blurred back Isabella carrying Adam.
"Meeting NOW!" Feliss called. Everyone was there very quickly. "Vanessa is alive."
"What? She can't be!" James said wide-eyed.
"Well, she is." Felicity said.
She showed the results from her sonic screwdriver not mentioning yet who they were scanned from.
"This definitely Vanessa's DNA." Baljeet said.
"It gets worse." Felicity stated. "The DNA was taken from the current president of the 2nd Dimension United States."
"What!?" They all gasped.
"Unfortunately yes so we do have a ginormous problem and lastly to make matters even worse, Adam is unconscious because she had managed to reactivate the Pizzazium Infinionite to brainwash him."
"What she brainwashed Dad?" Roslyn asked.
"Yes she did." Felicity sighed angrily. She turned to Dr. Baljeet and asked, "How quickly could you make another antidote?"
"Fairly quickly, but there may be some side effects."
"Katie's didn't." Felicity said with a frown. "What kind of side effects?"
"Yes, but Katie was not exposed to it for years this has been coursing through his system for years before activation. It may effect age or powers for an uncertain amount of time anywhere from a few months to a few years in terms of how long it lasts."
"Age? The powers makes sense but how would it affect age?" Felicity asked and looked over at Adam but knew there weren't really any other options.
"The Pazzazium given the age administered to his system created and imprint of him at his best, so upon removal the last thing it will do is release its special neurotoxin that may very well make him younger like possibly even to his mid to late teens whenever it felt he was at his best."
"Probably late teens then." Felicity concluded and sighed. "As awkward as that will be we don't have any other options."
"Well, I could pull the Pazzazium out of you too." He offered.
Felicity nodded, "That would probably be best. If she managed to activate it in Adam then nothing would stop her from doing the same with me and if it does have that effect it would make things a lot less awkward."
"Alright, I will get to work on that."
"Isa, take him to a cell for now before he wakes up." Felicity told her trying to keep her voice strong.
"Okay." She sighed blurring off.
Dr. Baljeet headed to his office to get started on the antidote. "Mom?" Roslyn asked.
"Yes, Roslyn." Felicity said turning to her daughter.
"Are you okay?"
"Not really but I will be." Felicity said.
"Are you sure?" Roslyn asked.
"I'm sure."
"Okay." She sighed.
"So, you and Dad might become teenagers again?"
"Yeah, we might." She sighed.
"Well, that would be awkward."
"Yes it would be." She sighed.
"Would you guys remember anything?"
"I am not sure." She said.
Roslyn sighed and said, "Well, I hope not."
"So do I." Felicity said hugging her.
Quite a few hours later, Dr. Baljeet had the two antidotes made and double-checked. "Here they are." He said handing them to Feliss. "Just take one each and go to sleep and when you wake up it should all be gone but you might be a teenager again."
"Okay." Feliss said blurring to Adam and Roslyn.
Adam was in a cell not looking very happy about that. Roslyn was on the other side of the bars not liking seeing him like this either. "You got it?" Roslyn asked turning to her mother hopefully.
"Yes." She said holding them up.
"Great, then do it."
"Okay. Adam, drink this." Felicity said.
Adam took the vial, "The antidote?"
She nodded. "Give Roslyn a hug before you take it since you may be out for a while."
He did as best as he could before uncorking the vial.
"See you in a bit." He said.
Roslyn nodded and said, "I love you, Daddy." Worried the side effect he listed will come true.
"I love you too." He said before drinking it. He felt really tired almost instantly and fell asleep on the floor.
"Mommy, are you sure this is safe?" Roslyn asked.
"We don't really have any other options. We should move him to a bed though then I'll take my own."
Roslyn nodded and picked him up.
They blurred to Adam and Felicity's room and Roslyn laid him down. "Mom I'm scared." She admitted.
"It will be okay, Roslyn. I promise." Felicity said hugging her daughter.
"Okay be careful I will be watching you two until you wake." She said.
"I don't know how long that will be, Roslyn." Felicity said uncorking her own vial.
"I don't care." She said with her parents' stubbornness.
"You are too much like us." Felicity said waking her finger then drinking down her own vial. "I love you." She said before passing out.
"I love you, too, Mommy." Roslyn said though she obviously can't hear and so she waited.
It was many hours before they started to stir. They both sat up slowly rubbing their heads. Roslyn very quickly noticed that as Dr. Baljeet predicted they were both in their late teens and mentally begged that they would remember her. "Ow my head." Adam said. He looked around and his eyes suddenly fixated on Roslyn seeming extremely confused and pointed his screwdriver at her unsure if she's a friend or a foe. "Who are you?" He asked.
Felicity got to her feet keeping a watching eye on Roslyn heading to the nursery for… well… Roslyn. "She's gone!"
Roslyn instantly found herself in a choke hold with the sonic screwdriver pressed right between her eyes. "What did you do to my daughter?!" He demanded obviously VERY angry. "Where is she?!"
"You're choking her." Roslyn said looking into his eyes.
Adam was EXTREMELY confused by that; especially, once the tip glowed bright green indicating that she's telling the truth. "You can't be." He said letting her go and starting to examin his sonic screwdriver figure it must be broken.
"Dad, it's really me."
"That's impossible." Adam said looking at her though he recognized that the hair and eyes certainly supported that claim. "Roslyn was just born yesterday night."
"No, that was years ago let me explain." She said and then did explain.
"So, let me get this straight, we basically missed your whole early childhood and Vanessa's still alive?" Roslyn nodded sadly wanting to cry a little. Though still very confused, Adam couldn't help but pull her into a hug. "I'm so sorry." He said.
"It's not really your fault. You just don't remember."
"That does not make it okay."
"Baljeet said the affects could last anywhere from a few months to years." Roslyn said sadly.
"No." Adam grumbled.
Roslyn nodded starting to cry, "They put you in cell, Daddy. Said you had to be treated as a threat until the antidote was done."
"It's alright. That bit I understand." He said as Felicity came over.
She looked at her husband and daughter then out the window, "This can't be happening."
"It is." Roslyn said.
"There must be some way for us to remember."
"Maybe..." Roslyn sighed.
"In the meantime, there might be some way for us to use this to our advantage." Felicity said thoughtfully.
"How?" Adam asked.
"This happened because Vanessa had your brainwashed so maybe we could make you look twenty-nine again and convince her you're still brainwashed to get you on the inside." Felicity suggested having no idea how much he was actually 'on the inside' since Roslyn didn't even know so she couldn't have told them.
"Hey, that could work!" Adam said.
"Of course, do my plans ever not?"
"Well, if it's cooking..." Adam trailed.
"Those are actions, not plans."
"Still."
"That pan was still sexist." Felicity pouted.
"No way." Adam said. Roslyn couldn't help but laugh realizing they were even crazier at this age. They both smiled at that.
"Alright, now I know she's our daughter." Felicity smirked.
"Well that and the lack of shoes." Adam said.
"True," Felicity noted just noticing that.
"Well, you got dad out of shoes." Roslyn said.
"Victory!" Felicity declared happily.
"I imagine you were trying for a while?" Roslyn asked.
"Kind of on and off but he never believed me."
"Well, you convinced him."
"Probably not anymore so how did I do it?"
"You used your cutest and asked him to try it without shoes." She added, "Then you raced him with you both barefoot and he won."
"I did?" Adam asked. Roslyn just nodded. "That is surprising." Adam said.
"I told you!" Felicity declared simply.
"Fine, you win." Adam grumbled.
"I usually do." Felicity smirked.
"Not all time." Adam said.
"I know. That's why I said usually." He smiled and hugged her. She happily hugged him back, "So, does teen you believe me?"
"Sure, apparently, you were right."
"Yes!" Felicity said victoriously.
Roslyn giggled as she watched her teenaged mother dance in victory. Then she realized that she should probably let the others know. "Want to come see and remeet everyone?" She asked. "Also meet a few people for the first time that you remember." She added.
"Sure." Hey said as Felicity took Adams hand.
"Do you guys still have your powers? He said it might affect them." They both blurred to the other side of her and she noticed they were faster than when they were older. "You're faster." She noted simply.
"Well, age does slow the reflexes." Adam said.
"True, race ya!" Roslyn smirked before blurring off. They chased after her.
Roslyn got there first, then Adam, then Felicity. "Wow you are faster." Felicity said.
"Faster than me and stronger than me." Felicity realized with a pout. "That's just not fair."
"Oh, I think I just got the head start this time." Adam said honestly.
"I don't think so." Felicity said then turned to Roslyn. "Also, you have powers?!"
"Oh yeah, I do. So does Isabella's son."
"Really? That's great!"
"Yeah, it's fun. Want to meet him?" Roslyn offered.
"Yeah!" They both said.
"Alright, hey Slate!"
Slate was there almost instantly. He froze when he saw Adam and Felicity, "So, 'Jeet was right?"
"Yeah, Slate, please remeet your aunt and Uncle."
"Well, it's nice to remeet you." Slate said though kind of awkward.
"Yeah, you too." Felicity said with Roslyn like excitement.
"Now, I know where Roslyn got that from. So, you don't remember anything?" Slate asked.
"Not really." She admitted.
"I tried to fill in some of them big things though." Roslyn added.
"Like?"
"Mostly just what would explain why it's suddenly twelve years later?"
"They must be taking it well."
"Yeah, once I explained it anyways which was hard to do when dad had me in a chokehold with the sonic screwdriver pressed against my forehead for kidnapping his daughter." Roslyn said with a laugh.
"Really?" He asked.
"Yeah but you can't blame him for jumping to that conclusion."
"Still sorry." Adam said.
"I forgive you, Daddy."
"Thank you."
"Shouldn't we show them the others?" Slate asked.
"Yes we should."
"Alright, meet or remeet?"
"Remeet."
"Well, with either the library's always the best bet."
"Okay, let's go then." He said.
The four of them blurred to the ever famous library and found Isabella reading as well as Jessica. "Aunt Isabella, Jessica!" Roslyn said to get their attention.
They turned and Isabella's jaw dropped. "Oh no," She breathed going over to them.
"Hey Isa." Adam said awkwardly.
"Hey Adam, so, you guys are teenagers again?"
"Unfortunately." He sighed.
"Very unfortunate." Isabella sighed. "But it will be okay."
"I hope so this is odd." Adam said.
"I figured. It's not much better from this end anyways."
"Yeah, I did not think it would be."
"Guess we'll just have to all get used to it though just like everything else."
"Yeah, but this is a bit much." Felicity said.
"Hey, if anyone can do it it's us right?"
"Yeah, that is true."
"I promise we will." Isabella said simply.
"I hope so." Adam said.
"Do you not believe me?" She asked defensively.
"I do. It's just super odd."
"Yes it is but even at this point nothing for us will ever be normal."
"Yeah, good point."
"By the way, this is Jessica." Isabella introduced.
"Who?"
"She was a rescue." Isabella said and explained her story for the moment leaving out the part about her being Roslyn's girlfriend.
"Oh! I see." Adam said smiling.
"One more thing about her though." Roslyn said.
"What's that?" Adam asked.
"Well, she and I are dating."
"You are?" Both Roslyn and Jessica nodded. "Well, that's surprising."
"It's okay thought?" Roslyn asked.
"Yeah, it's great if you are happy."
"I am happy." Roslyn nodded.
"Good then."
"Any idea where anyone else is?" Roslyn asked Isabella.
"I think some of them are at the pool."
"Alright, want to come with?"
"Sure."
"Of course," Felicity sighed.
"Sorry, I know you don't like water." Adam said.
"I know how to fix that!" Roslyn declared.
"Y...you do?" Felicity asked stunned but hopeful.
"Yeah, just think about stuff that makes you happy to distract your mind for freaking out over it. It worked on adult you."
"It did?" Adam asked.
Roslyn nodded with a smile, "Extremely well."
"Well, it's worth a try." Felicity said.
"Let's go then!" Roslyn said.
They each took one of her hands. Felicity took a deep breath and said, "Alright, I'm ready."
They nodded and blurred off.
They arrived at the pool in pretty much no time. "Ready?" Adam asked. Felicity took a deep breath doing as told and nodded so they all jumped in.
Just as when she was an adult it felt… wonderful. Like when she was a little kid before Doofenshmirtz had captured her. She came up out of the water smiling. "It worked!" Felicity said happily.
"I told you." Roslyn said.
"Yes you did and thank you so much."
"No problem, Mom." She said.
"Actually, it was mostly your idea."
"It was?"
"Quite a bit." Roslyn said. "It's quite the story."
"Bold points." Adam said.
"What?" Roslyn asked confused.
"He means tell us the general idea."
"Well, first of all you guys had all agreed not to tell us what happened until we were older but for my twelfth birthday I got a time altering device and… a little too curious."
"Yeah, you get that from me. What did you do?" Adam said.
"I used the device to go back in time and see for myself."
"Oh no!" Felicity said instantly worried.
"Yeah, no one had seen me but it obviously was anything but pleasant."
"Why did you go?" Felicity asked with motherly worry.
"I was curious." Roslyn said simply.
"Roslyn, you know we were trying to protect you."
"Well, yeah, I know that now. Looking back now I should have in the first place."
"Well at least you are okay." Adam said.
"Yeah, because of that though I had developed a fear of water which is actually how adult you found out and it was originally for me. It was half and half really but it was all mom's idea to try it herself, at least."
"Genius!" Adam said.
"Thank you. I was just mostly afraid that I'd never been able to swim again."
"You love swimming?" Adam asked.
Roslyn nodded vigorously, "Practically addicted."
"That's my girl!" Adam said.
"Hard not to love it. Everyone knows your problems a polar."
"Yeah, I guess so."
Roslyn nodded with a smirk and flipped to floating on her back. She sighed in content. "Honestly, it's hard to find me not it water."
"Yes, definitely our daughter." Felicity said.
"Better believe it." Roslyn laughed.
"So, is this okay?"
"Yeah, still a little awkward but yes it is."
"Sorry, we will try to fix it."
"I trust that. Can I help?"
"Of course you can."
"Great!" She smiled flipping over to just treading which she could do long enough to win the 70th Hunger Games.
"So this Vanessa problem how bad is it?" Adam asked.
"She's president of the Second Dimension United States."
"Really?" Adam asked as Isabella entered.
"Yes, really."
"Isa, what else have I missed?"
"Any topics in particular you're looking for?" Isabella asked.
"How did we find out?"
"Felicity was getting suspicious of her so we ran a scan on her with the sonic screwdriver."
"Anything else?" Adam asked.
"Well… I could tell you but not in front of your daughter." Isabella said awkwardly.
"Oh okay?" Adam said. He got out of the pool and asked, "Can Feliss come?"
"Yeah, she should." Felicity shrugged and got out of the pool.
Isabella led them to a quiet room. "So, what is it?" Felicity asked.
Isabella sighed and explained the situation. Felicity turned to Adam and smacked him across the face before he got the chance to throw up. Isabella caught her hand as Adam threw up. "Felicity he was brainwashed at the time it was nothing more than essentially rape."
Felicity froze not moving or saying anything for a while then after a while she finally said as simply as possible, "We clearly need a new mission plan then."
"I'm pathetic!" Adam said denting the wall with a punch.
"Adam, don't say that!" Isabella said honestly surprised by that. "It's not your fault!"
"Yes it is. I failed."
"No, I literally just told Felicity that."
"I should have fought it."
"You most likely did but Pazzazium Infinianite's extremely strong and you did have a whole lot in your system for years."
"I don't deserve to be in charge!" He said throwing his badge to the ground and blurring away. Isabella picked up the badge and instantly blurred after him as did Felicity but Adam was now faster than he had been. That didn't stop them from trying though tracking him as far as they could.
He finally stopped in the bit of Forrest around their home that was still forest. Isabella and Felicity got there just as he was starting to pound on an innocent tree just like he had after his father's second death. "Adam, beating up that helpless tree will not help."
"Go away." Adam said.
"Not a chance, you're not a failure, Adam and you're not pathetic." Isabella corrected.
"Yes I am. She got to me."
"It could have happened to anyone."
"Why me? I should have fought it."
"I'm pretty much certain you did."
"Then why did I fail!?"
"Because she found a way and caught you by surprise."
"I should have known though."
"You had no reason to suspect her." Isabella corrected.
"So?"
"So you were too far gone before anyone could have figured out something was wrong."
"So, I am weak?"
"Of course not, if you weren't extremely strong physically and mentally you would have broken when it was first put in your system like even Katie had, not over twelve years later when she figured out some way to make it even stronger."
"Well I suppose so." Adam sighed.
"I know so." Felicity said in a matter-of-factory tone.
"You should hate me most." He said to her.
"Well, it's like Isabella said, it was essentially rape."
"I suppose so. I feel like a fool though."
"Don't," She said and hugged him. He hesitated but hugged her back. "Can you trust me on this?" Felicity asked hopefully.
"Yeah I can." He said.
"Good, because I still do love you. Plus can I of all people really complain?"
"No but I would not blame you though."
"Well, I honestly have no right to."
"I would not blame you though." He said.
"It's really hard to get you to blame me for anything."
"There is nothing to blame you for."
"No one else thinks so... or at least thought so."
"Well, I am not everyone else."
"You still ran away."
"I was angry." He said.
"You had every reason to be."
"I got over it though." He said.
"And you'll get over this."
"Only if you all are here."
"We will be." Isabella promised.
Adam looked down at Feliss. "We will be, I promise."
"Okay." Adam said hugging her close.
"We do need a new plan for Vanessa though."
"We do?"
"Well, we're not going to send you in convincing her you're still brainwashed if she was brainwashing you to have sex with her."
"Fair point so what do we do?"
"Well, maybe if she seriously is president then we could expose her for who she really is to the general populous. I mean, even outside of the tri-state-area almost everyone has heard of her or at least her father." Felicity suggested after some thought.
"That might work."
"Yeah, that's actually a great idea!" Isabella noted honestly.
"We just need the right place to show it." Adam said.
"How about a press conference?" Isabella pitched. "After all, being head of Firestorm certainly gives you a leg up."
"Yeah it does. We could even have her there. Then it's a plan." Adam agreed.
