Chapter Forty-Eight: Becoming Heroes
"Those were short range missiles, land based" Helen said looking at the cloud trail from the missiles, "that way our best bet."
"You wanna go towards the people who tried to kill us?" Dash said.
"Uh are you nuts?" Jason asked.
"If that means land yes" Helen said.
"You expect us to swim there?" Violet said.
"I expect you to trust me" Helen smirked later with Helen forming herself a boat and Dash their motor Jason and Max road with Violet on Helen back as they sailed fast towards the island.
It was night when they all crawled on shore tired and exhausted as they collapsed on shore.
"I hate the ocean!" Max growled.
"My little trooper, I'm so proud of you" Helen said to Dash.
"Thanks mom" Dash said.
"Can we move, I am not liking this place" Jason said.
Later they all sat in a cave around a fire as Jason kept an eye on the entrance.
"I think your father is in trouble" Helen said.
"In case you hadn't noticed mom, were not doing so hot either" Violet said.
"I'm going to look for him and that means you're in charge until I get back Violet" Helen said getting up.
"What?!" Dash said.
"You heard her" Violet said as Helen pulled out masks and put hers on and handed Violet and Dash theirs.
"Put these on, your identity is you most valuable possession, protect it and if anything gose wrong use your powers."
"But you said never to use-"
"I know what I said!" Helen yelled as she took a deep breathe, "remember the bad guys? On those shows you used to watch on Saturday mornings? Well these guys are not like those guys they won't exercise your strength because your children, they will kill you if they get the chance, do not give them that chance!"
"Mom?"
"Vi, I am counting on you, be strong, Dash if anything goes wrong I want you to run as fast as you can!"
"As fast as I can?!"
"As fast as you can! Stay hidden! Keep each other safe! I'll be back by morning" She said hugging them.
"We'll watch them too but let me come with you Helen" Jason said.
"No I need my kids safe" Helen said.
"Then I'll go, Jason the strongest and can watch them, my fire may come in handy" Max smirked holding a fireball.
"Okay, Jason I am counting on you" Helen said.
"They're safe" Jason said as Helen and Max ran for the entrance.
"Mom!" Violet said running after them, "mom on the plane, I'm sorry I didn't mean too-when you asked me to-I'm sorry."
"Shhh it isn't your fault it wasn't fair of me to ask so much from you but things are different now and doubt isn't a luxury we can afford anymore sweetie, you have more power than you realize, don't think, don't worry when the time comes you'll know what to do, it's in your blood" Helen said as she and Max took off for the forest as Violet placed on her mask.
In the jungle Max and Helen approached a monorail above them as they heard one coming down it as Helen stretch out to grab it as Max hung on as she swung to avoid trees and the beams hold the rail up as she swung them to the top where the road on it as they looked ahead to see a volcano base approaching.
Helen and Max then hung from the side as they saw a plane fly into a hanger then entered a tunnel as they passed a window where they saw a rocket.
Helen then stretched to slow herself down as she and Max jumped off as a light signed on their back as they saw another coming and Helen and Max pressed themselves to the wall as it drove past them.
Helen and Max then walked back to get a better view of the rocket.
"A rocket?" Helen said as they saw a part with a rounded hole for something to be placed in.
"What are they doing to launch?" Max asked.
Later Helen hung from a roof with Max as two guards walked under them as they jumped down to see them leave.
Helen then stopped to look in a mirror and sighed looking at her hips.
"Uh Helen?" Max said as they heard the door being unlocked then quickly acted as it opened and a guard walked in and Helen and Max laid pressed on the door way he entered as the man stopped at a door and Helen and Max began to back away to the door as it closed on her leg.
Helen then saw the man use a card to unlock the door as Helen stretched and Max followed through the door as it closed on Helen mid-section trapping her again.
"Uh-oh" Max said looking to the guard ahead as he unlocked the elevator where another guard spotted them.
"Hey!"
Helen then stretch her arm to punch him then punched the other and slammed him with his gun then slammed her elbow in the other man ribs knocking him out and the man closed the elevator door on her arm as she began feeling around and touched his shoulder then chest then face then quickly punched him and knocked him out as Helen smirked.
"Hurry" Max said as two men got clothes lined on Helen midsection and knocked off their vehicle as they pointed guns but with her leg a man poked it with his gun as Helen frowned and kicked the man who fired his gun and the bullets bounced around and hit the key pad free her legs as it launched and slammed the two men into the glass door.
"That works" Max said as he saw Helen got the card key and freed her arm then freed herself from the door and let out a sigh.
Later!
"Get in there!" Max grunted as they stuffed the men in a closet.
IIIIIIIIIIII
Back at the cave Violet practiced her force field by making one over the fire ten with the smoke above as Dash let out a sigh and glanced at Jason who was making a dozen rocks float around him.
"I wonder if I can lift myself to fly?" Jason thought aloud with a smirk.
"Well, not that this isn't fun but I am going to explore" Dash said picking up a lit stick from the fire.
"What do you think is going on here?! You think were on vacation or something! Mom and dad lives are in danger or worse their marriage" Violet said.
"Their marriage? So the bad guys are trying to wreck mom and dad marriage?" Dash said.
"Ugh forget it! Your so immature" Violet sighed.
"I'm going to go look around" Dash said.
"Mom said to stay hidden" Violet said.
"I'm not going to leave the cave sheesh!" Dash said walking deeper into the cave.
Later the rocket was launched as Violet and Jason began to feel the cave shake.
"Violet! Jason!" Dash yelled as they look to where Jason went to see a light growing as he ran in.
"What did you do?!" Violet asked as Dash grabbed them and quickly dragged them out of the cave in time for fire to shoot out as he three watched from the jungle.
"Nice save Dash" Jason said as they looked to the volcano where the rocket was launched.
Near the rocket controls, Helen and Max watched from above as Helen stretched her head down to read the scans to find Bob location.
"Bob" Helen said.
"Huh what?" The guard said as Helen quickly stretched her head back.
"I didn't say anything."
"Cell block 13" Helen whispered to Max.
"Let's go find your husband then" Max said.
