Hey guys sorry it took so long to update, Thanks for all of the reviews, favorites, follows, etc… Also I would like to point out that in this story nothing is what it seems. But all will be revealed…eventually…. The story also starts to pick up a little bit in this chapter, also forget about the taking Kari out to sushi thing I mentioned in the last chapter, I'm too lazy to go back and fix it.
It all belongs to Brad…I'm just borrowing the characters; I'll give them back when I'm done playing with them.
Once he was in the archive room, Tony quickly got to work. He was highly ambitious to go out into the field, but first he needed to know the information. The odd photo was put to the side as he read through old newspaper articles about Invisigirl and her alleged family the Incredibles. The database had limited information on Mr. Incredible and Elastigirl, but there was littlie to nothing about Invisigirl and her brother Quickdash. The only real info was age estimates, powers and a list of dates and locations when the heroes were sighted. He set the list aside and continued reading the tabloid article that was talking about the rumored super baby.
Honestly he didn't believe that there was such a thing, but he still included it in his notes as a possible lead for later on. He soon went back to reading over the lists and made a shocking discovery. He never before realized that all of these locations were near where he grew up. He even was around the same age of invisigirl around the time. He quickly looked back to the black and white photos from the newspaper articles. After searching through a few of them he found the one he wanted to see. It was the picture from the article about the mole man. He looked at the photo of Invisigirl and Mr. Incredible fighting off the villain while civilians were scattering in the background. He took a closer look and discovered that he was one of the running civilians. Never before had he realized that he was so close to this. Most of the sightings and incidents were no further than 5 miles from West View High.
Could she have been one of his piers? He thought about it for a few minutes before shaking his head. There was no way he could've known this girl, whoever she was. It was probably just a coincidence.
Tony looked as his watch, it was getting late so he put his work in his briefcase and headed out. On his way to his car he ran into Kari again. She was waiting at the bus stop with a book in her hand and a few binders of paper at her feet.
"Hey Kari."
She looked up in surprise, "Oh, hi Tony. What are you doing here? Do you ride the bus too?"
"No, my car's in the lot across the street, but I saw you and wondered if you wanted to go get a bite to eat with me?" he said feeling a tiny tint of red wash on to his cheeks.
She smiled brightly, "Sure, I'd love to!"
"Great." He replied relief washed through him.
Tony then drove them to a diner a few blocks away. They sat in a booth while eating their food. He got a burger and Kari got soup. Tony had noticed how much the woman sitting across from him had changed the past twelve years. She no longer had braces and acne and her lisp was gone. Her hair was long and shiny. He barely recognized her compared to how she looked in high school.
"So what have you been up to all these years?" he asked trying to break the awkward silence.
"Well I went to Yale and after I graduated I was hired to work with the computer sector in the Pentagon before the agency recruited me about three years ago. What about you?"
"After graduation I went to UMC (university of metroville city) and then worked for the FBI before being promoted to the agency." He smiled thinking back to the glory days in high school. "Its really great to see you again. Wasn't the last time we spoke…" But he couldn't finish the sentence, a tinge of sadness shook through his core.
"…The day Vi disappeared." Kari finished. A fresh wave of guilt washed over her. She remembered the day well. After all it was her fault. All of what happened to the Parrs was her fault. It was her NSA interrogation video (or rather the snippets of audio that the SHCU recovered) that got Helen and Bob Parr killed. Her memory of the incident was fuzzy but she remembered snippets of her babysitting experience. She found that out the first week she worked at the agency. That was when she vowed she would secretly work against them. Weakening them from within until they crumble.
Violet and Dash were lucky to get away, and she didn't know what had become of poor little innocent Jack-Jack. She really missed her best friend. She didn't even know what hell Violet had to go through until she worked at the agency. She felt kind of bad that she had no clue about half of her friend's life. She wished she could be there for Violet all those nights she spent alone, but she wasn't because she had no idea. So now she was making up for it by making sure that no one will hurt her or her estranged brother again. Making herself almost like their guardian angel.
"I really miss her…" Tony said sadly.
"Me too…" Kari replied.
They two spent the next hour talking about all the fun times they had with Vi. Kari had a very hard time hiding her guilt but Tony fortunately didn't notice anything. Afterwards he drove her home and went back to his own condo to hit the hay. He wanted to get a full night of sleep before his first day in the field. Tomorrow held new discoveries and revelations…
Ok I know this chapter kind of stinks on ice, but it's a filler so more action to come. DON'T FORGET TO REVIEW OR I MIGHT FORGET TO UPDATE!
