Chapter Three
Parker Residence...
Out of pure curiosity, Anya hung out in the living room where there was the most activity. After Ben had cleaned up and gotten dressed, he invited his friends Dick Grayson and Justin Stark over to play video games. Mindy sat on the couch to Anya's right, a controller in her hands as well and appeared to be winning whatever game this was. Something to do with an Italian Plumber and go-karts. The boys yelling and shoving at each other, trying to throw the others off course. She laughed as Dick successfully shoved Ben to the ground, practically sitting on the other boy.
To her left, Sami's friend Jack sat away from them, watching the game as well. He appeared to be on Mindy's side as he pushed the other guys with his feet. Right now, though, his one leg was trapped in Justin's hold. His other leg was free and was pushing at the other boy's back, trying to free his trapped leg. The brunette refused to let go, not allowing the blond to mess up his game. Jack playfully called to Sami for help.
Speaking of the meta-human, Sami sat at the table. She was messing around with some holo-tablet while also looking at various documents and blueprints. Anya came to the conclusion that Sami was either researching something, or was inventing some new piece of tech. Either way, the brunette was more interested in whatever she was looking at than her friend's mock cries for help. She did tell Jack to kick Justin's ass, to which Mindy hollered out something about a swear-jar. With a sigh, Sami got up from the table to a jar near the window, inserting a dollar into the jar before going back to her work.
There was one child that was absent; Esther. After breakfast this morning, she retreated to her room and stayed there the entire day. Well, she did come down to get a bottle of water or a small snack. Other than that, she remained upstairs doing who-knows what. Anya shuddered, the mental image of the girl's constant stare still etched in her brain. The girl was just so creepy. She seemed like someone out of a horror film, where she was a psycho disguised as a sweet little girl. Whatever or whoever she was, Esther was not really liked by the other Parker siblings. Or Mindy.
As though someone had been reading her mind, Dick spoke, "Where's Esther?" he asked.
Mindy snorted, "Who the hell cares."
"Swear Jar." Sami said.
"Damn it." Mindy said handing temporarily handing the controller to Jack.
"That's two bucks." Ben said. Mindy poked her tongue out at the other in response.
As Mindy got up to put two dollars into the jar, an alarm sounded on all of their watches. Ben and Dick cheered while everyone else groaned. Anya just looked around in confusion as they shut off the game and headed upstairs. Sami sighed and put everything in a neat pile before following after. She waited until everyone was ahead of her before turning to Anya, meeting her confused gaze,
"That would be the red-alert." Sami responded.
Anya raised a brow, "The-what?"
"The red-alert? It alerts you of trouble? Don't you have them in the future?" Mindy asked as they proceeded upstairs.
The Latina thought about it, but shook her head. Why were they heading to Sami's room? The group of teens went into the brunette's closet, further confusing her. What were they doing? When Sami and herself went in, Anya's eye widened in shock. The group wasn't there and the wall where the mirror was supposed to be was opened, revealing a secret lab on the inside. Before she could further admire the new discovery, Sami urged her inside so that they could put on their uniforms and go.
Anya whistled in amazement as she looked at all the tech. For the early 2000's era, Sami sure had a lot of advanced tech. The Latina examined a nearby holo-screen and the tech behind the screen. With a hum, she nodded her head. Just as she had thought; alien tech. That's why everything looked so advanced; because it was not of Earth Origin. As she reached out a hand to trace over the intricate panel, a whistle drew her attention back to the group.
Sami raised a brow, "All good over there?" she called, to which Anya nodded in response.
"Let's go! We don't have time for this!" Ben yelled impatiently as he and Dick, now in Robin gear, ran down the stairs that lead to the underground garage. Mindy, in her uniform, followed after.
Before following after the trio, Sami looked over Anya's attire. The girl was still clad in casual wear, causing the brunette to look at the other's face, "You're not going out like that." Sami said.
"Well, I can go get my uniform from my room..." Anya explained, trailing off.
With a huff, the older girl nodded, urging the younger to hurry. After Anya retrieved her uniform and flew down to the garage. After climbing into the car with the other four, they were off.
National Bank of Middleton...
"This is a hold up! Everybody needs to freeze and open up your registers." a man in a ski mask called as he and his buddies held up the bank.
Frightened tellers cried out in fear and tried to duck down behind their desks. Security laid about on the floor either unconscious or dead. The remaining security officer dropped his weapon in fear, holding up his hands. One of the robbers kicked his gun away from him and cuffed him over the head with his own pistol before handcuffing the officer with his own cuffs.
"You!" the leader of the gang called to a nearby teller, "Open up the vault and then get down on your knees!"
The Teller nodded her head in fear as she hurried over to the vault, fumbling with the security card key. After opening both the metal door and the glass door, she got on the ground with her hands behind her head. She begged them not to kill her as several goons came over to raid the vault. The leader shushed the crying woman, threatening to kill her if she didn't shut up. She obeyed him, sobbing quietly on the ground.
"Really? A bank robbery? Was every unoriginal idea already taken?" a male voice called out. A cackling followed after.
"Oh, shit!" one guy called out.
A small device fell from the ceiling before exploding into a cloud of smoke. The robbers coughed as the room became flooded with the thick smoke, making it difficult for them to see. One of the guys released a pained noise. The sound of a gun skidding across the floor could be heard as well. One by one, each thug received the same treatment until it was just the leader.
The room cleared as he looked around the room. His friends all laid on the floor unconscious. He became panicked as he grabbed the female teller, holding his gun to her head. She let out a frightened noise as she tried to move her head away from the gun.
"I'll shoot her! I swear I will!" he hollered, causing the woman to sob uncontrollably.
Before he could follow through with his threat, a web shot out and stuck to his back. He was then yanked backward, causing him to release the teller. He hollered for help that was not coming to his aid, now that he was face-to-face with the heroes. Anya just looked down at the poor bastard with a smirk as he begged them not to kill him. Robin chuckled,
"Dude, killing is not our style." he said.
"Yeah," Ben added, "we prefer to mercilessly kick your ass and let the police deal with you after we're done."
"Sorry that your first mission was kind of humdrum." Sami said to Anya.
The police were on the scene, hauling the criminals into the backs of their cop cars. EMTS and Paramedics tended to the tellers and bystanders, checking to see if everyone was okay. Some bystanders cheered and thanked the heroes for their work, causing the teens to shyly thank them. They then retreated to a nearby rooftop to avoid any unwanted attention.
"It's cool. I'm glad that it wasn't too intense. I don't think I would have been ready to something as big as say, Dr. Doom, or another Big Bad." Anya explained.
"Psh, yeah. I don't think we would be allowed to answer that call." Hit Girl said.
They all stood in a circle, staying awkwardly quiet.
"So," Ben said, breaking the silence, "we should probably go home and figure out how to get you back home, right?"
"Ben!" Sami whispered, nudging at the smaller brunette.
