REVIEW :D

Downtown Los Angeles
9:19 P.M

"I can't believe we're doing this." Trini stated as she walked next to Gert.

"The kid is a Runaway." Gert answered. "And as much as I don't want to do this either, we don't really have a choice."

"I think it'll be pretty awesome." Molly perked.

"Molly's got the right idea. We came here to recruit the kid." Nico suggested.

"Ugh, no thanks. I think two guys in the group is enough. Especially when they decide not to lift their own weight." Trini buttoned up the bottom button that had come undone of her electric blue flannel shirt.

"Jake's still hurt from earlier today. Remember? He got burned because his hoodie fell down and the sun hit him." Karolina pointed up at the moon. It was well past morning.

"Excuses, excuses." Trini rolled her eyes and adjusted her Ray-bands.

"Look, there they are." Nico pointed at the group of masked people walking out of the Third Bank of California. Of course, they were all thieves. They were the ones that heard the bank alarm from their bunker. And of course, the police were too damn cowardly to come and stop the Wrecking Ball crew themselves. But the Runaways didn't care about that at all. They just wanted the kid who ran away from his grandparents. Or, Ricky, as the news calmed him.

"Hey! Village people!" Gert was the first to call their attention. "Step away from the Minor."

"Or you're in for some major uh…you know…bad stuff." Molly stated.

"Yeah, I think you should leave the lines to us, Kiddo." Trini mumbled.

"The hell is this?" One of the thieves asked.

"Don't know." Another answered and raised his eyebrows at Karolina. "But I'll take the box of Thin Mints."

"Gross." Gert nodded.

"Listen, we don't care about how much money you stole or about the bank. We just want the kid." Nico stated. "Hand him over and you guys can walk free."

"Haven't you watched the news, Ricky? You're grandparents are worried sick about you." Karolina intervened.

"Grandparents? Those rank old geezers can choke on their dentures for all I care!" Ricky laughed. "I'm running with my dad now!"

"Check it out, five ladies fighting over him already." Piledriver gloated over his son. "Told you he turned out like his dad."

"And that concludes the negotiation part of this program. Karolina?" Nico stated.

"Plan B, Boss." Karolina ripped her bracelet off and zapped Piledriver back.

"DAD!" Ricky cried.

"Their muties! Light 'em up!" Another thief shouted.

"I'm an Angel dipstick!" Trini shot heat vision from her eyes and hit one of the thieves in the thigh.

"Yeah! And I'm an Extraterrestrial and proud of it, thank you very much!" Karolina agreed.

"Besides, the word mutie really offends people like me, you freakin' racist." Molly cracked her knuckles.

"I'll kill you!" Ricky shouted as he ran towards Molly with a shovel. "I'll kill-!" He swung his shovel and smashed it over Molly's head. Of course, it did absolutely nothing to Molly.

She narrowed her eyes as they glowed pink. "That's too bad. We could've used another boy in our club." She then twisted her body and punched Ricky. He was sent flying down the street.

Trini ducked as Wrecker tried to hit her again with his Crow bar. "Stay still!" He shouted.

"Learn how to swing!" Trini countered as she grabbed his Crow bar and pulled him forward. He fell towards her; letting Trini pull her leg up and kick him in the face. He fell to the ground unconscious. "Oh hell yeah!" She cheered. "Guess who's got the moves now!"

The Frogger then crashed down in front of Gert. Trini turned and looked up to see Jake waving at the girls. She frowned. Lazy ass.

"Sorry I'm late, Baby!" Chase announced into the microphone that was built into the Frogger. "I totally forgot to gas up the Frogger and had to 'borrow' some from a Circle A!"

"Oh, that's beautiful." Trini nodded as she walked towards the opening in the Frogger. Jake was leaning against the wall and smirked. "I see you're feeling better."

"I heal better during the night, Sweetheart." Jake sassed. "How do I look?" He moved his face to the side to show his healed cheek and forehead.

"Hold me back." Trini rolled her eyes as she entered the Frogger.

"You seemed pissed." Jake walked after her.

"Yeah, because this is the third time you do this." She turned around and pointed a finger at him. "You accidentally get exposed to the sun light and get hurt so you won't fight at night."

"That's not true." Jake defended.

"Yes it is." Gert said as she walked on board.

"Appreciate the help, Gertrude." Jake waved.

"Any time." She waved back.

"Why the hell are you backing out every time?" Trini placed her hands on her hips. "Are you embarrassed or something?"

"No, I'm not." Jake assured.

"Then what?"

Jake panned away from her glaring mint colored eyes. "Look, I just…Don't you know everything?"

"Yes, but I think it's rude to peer into people's past without their permission."

"Well…maybe have you thought that I don't want to fight anymore?"

"What?"

"Trini, I've been fighting all my life." Jake explained as the Frogger started up again. "Topher didn't make us stop for a second. We were always fighting, always on the run. And if we stopped, he'd kill us. Now that I'm with you guys, I don't see the need to fight anymore." He shrugged. "I feel a little more at home."

Trini smiled. "I know how you feel."

Molly turned to Nico. "They always fight like an old married couple."

"I know," Nico nodded. "I just wished they'd finally shut up and make out already."

"I heard that." Trini called.

Beneath The La Brea Tar Pits Museum

"I wish we had our hide out near an In-and-Out Burger." Molly stated as she walked off the Frogger. "I'm so sick of eating what my mom picked out before she…you know."

"At least we have some place for our new Hostel, Molly." Chase held his hands up.

"Yeah, if we hadn't found our parents Secret Lair we would've still been cloaked on Venice Beach, sleeping in the same old smelly ship." Gert agreed.

"Well if someone cleaned the ship, we wouldn't have to deal with that." Trini glared at Chase.

Chase pulled his hands near his face. "Don't look at me." He shook his head. "Besides, with all the baddies we've been fighting, we practically live in the Frogger anyway."

"Well this is our fault, you know. We were the ones who created the power vacuum." Nico sighed.

"Heh," Chase smirked. "Power Vacuum should be Gert's new Codename."

"You're disgusting." Gert commented.

"Get some!" Jake high-fived Chase.

"Correction, you're both disgusting." Trini nodded.

"Could you two go back to hating each other please?" Molly asked; referring to Gert and Chase.

"I'm being serious guys." Nico stated. "Us taking down The Pride was like the U.S. taking down Saddam. We were able to get rid of the monsters but we didn't plan out what would happen next." She paused. "I mean, our parents may have been bad people, but at least they maintained some kind of…"

"Order?" Jake suggested.

"Yeah," Nico nodded.

"Well if you miss Mommy and Daddy so much, why don't you just take Yorkes' Time Machine and go back to save them yourself?" Chase pointed at the broken Time Machine.

Trini punched Chase in the arm.

"Ow!" He rubbed it; glaring at her.

"Because she doesn't want to, Chase." Karolina answered. "She just means we have to clean up the mess our parents made."

"And for the son of two Mad Scientists, you sure do have a hard time comprehending the fact that Gert's parent's Time Machine has been broken since-."

WOOOSH!

Smoke exploded throughout the room. The cause of it, Gert's parent's Time Machine. But it wasn't the one that was already in the room. No, this one was a different one. Inside of it, was an injured woman with dark brown hair and odd clothing. She pushed herself out of the Time Machine and gripped her ribs.

"Please...Tell me what year this is." The woman stated. She then looked up, "Ah, Karolina's still here. So it must be 2005."

"Lady, I don't know who you are, but if you take another step, My dinosaur will end you." Gert threated.

"I highly doubt that, Gertrude. Seeing as how I'm you." The woman answered.

"What?" Nico cocked a brow.

"She's lying. I wouldn't be caught dead in that get up." Gert stated as she pointed at her older selve's clothing.

"No...This is you, Gert." Trini answered. "Your heartbeat pattern...They're the same."

"Heh, Gert, you have a funny choice of words, seeing as how all that'll change in twenty years...when you start leading the Avengers." Older Gert smirked.

"Gert's gonna be a Superhero?" Molly asked with a confused look on her face.

"It's not as fun as it looks, Mol. She's gonna be betrayed by someone she's stupid enough to put on her team." Older Gert cringed in pain. "I barley escaped with my life...He slaughtered my Avengers. Used my files to kill the others. Hisako and her X-Men...Daredevil...Fantastice Fourteen...All of them. He Slaughtered every hero on the planet!"

"Who did?" Chase inquired as he reached over and placed his hand on her back.

"A supposed champion named Victorirous. He's the most powerful man on the planet..." Older Gert then looked up. "Well, he became powerful after Trini dissapeared."

"What?" Trini took a step back.

"Please," Older Gert begged. "You're our futures only hope...Iron Woman sacrificed her life to help power this one last trip...because I need you children to stop this..."

Her heart was growing more faint. Trini could feel it.

"Us?" Karolina questioned. "Ma'am, how are we supposed to stop something that you grown-ups can't?"

"You want us to find him, don't you?" Trini asked. "Because he's younger now."

"You do know everything, Trini." Older Gert smirked and held up a picture of a boy on it. "His name is Victor Mancha."

"Oh, he's cute." Trini took the picture and stared at it.

"Heh, you would say that, Mrs. Mancha." Older Gert fell back against Chase's arms.

"Oh..." Trini's face fell. "He's here in Los Angeles, isn't he?"

Older Gert nodded and closed her eyes to adjust herself. "Don't trust him...He's not who he says he is...his father...is the worst...evil..."

"Wait, who's his dad?" Chase asked quickly.

"Oh, Chase...Sweet Chase..." She looked up at him. "After all these years, I've never told you that I loved..."

Her heart stopped.

"She's...She's dead." Chase announced.

The group stood in silence.

"I'm really sorry, Gert." Molly apologized.

"That wasn't me!" Gert shouted. "It was probably...Probably another lie that our parents did from their grave!"

"Your heartbeats were exactly the same." Trini answered nonchalantly.

"Sent, too." Jake added as he tapped his nose.

"Let's just think about this for a second." Nico interupted. "What is this woman was telling the truth? Even if there is someone who's going to kill everyone on the planet, what do we do about it now?"

Chase gripped Older Gert's body. "I say we find him...And rip his damn heart out."
