Chapter 4: Memory Lane

(Mira's P.O.V)

It was been a while since Mr. Incredible first came to the island. Now Syndrome had completed the next Omindriod. According to him it was bigger and better. Though he said that about the last few Omindriods. I sighed inwardly as I walked done the halls. As I passed soldiers the stopped and stood straight as they acknowledged my presence. Something tells me that they were afraid of me.

That didn't mean I wanted them to be.

I used to think I could be a normal kid and go to school, sleepovers, and birthday parties. I guess that was my mistake believing that it could happen. I made it to my Aunts room and she was about to leave.

"Mira, I thought you were in your room." She said surprised. I shrugged. "I was bored. Are you going to meet Syndrome?" I asked.

"No, Mr. Incredible. He's coming today. You remember right?" She asked. Not in an angry way, just in a 'are you feeling okay' way.

"Yes, I remember, I just didn't realize it was so soon." I admitted. Aunt Mirage hugged me.

"I'll be back soon, you should head back to your room." She urged and I nodded. I didn't want to go back, but I don't have anything else to do. So I went back to my room and laid down on my bed.

I still remember the day everything changed.

(Third person)

Date: 2 weeks after Echowave's death

Tiffany carefully looked out the window. She swore that she saw a government van drive, but it was just quiet. Maybe a little too quiet. She sighed and turned to her daughter that was just staring at the screen of the tv. She walked over to her and realized that the tv was just showing a fuzzy screen.

"Mira, do you want me to change the channel?" She asked gently. Mira shook her head.

"No..." She mumbled. Tiffany looked at her daughter worriedly. She hasn't been the same since her husband died and quite frankly, neither was she.

"Mom?" Tiffany turned and saw that Mira turned around to face her. "Can I go outside?" She asked.

Tiffany hesitated to answer. Mira's powers weren't as stable as she would like them to be and her eyes alone attracted unwanted attention. But...Mira was a child, she didn't have any friends her age and she never left the safety of their house when it could be avoided.

"Please mom, I won't use my powers and I'll even wear the sunglasses." Mira begged as she took out the sunglasses she spoke of and put them in her eyes. It completely covered them so you couldn't tell that they had no pupils. Mira didn't like to wear them, but Tiffany realized she was desperate to get out. Finally Tiffany came to a decision.

"Alright, I need a grab somethings from the store. You can come, but be careful. Understood?" Tiffany asked. Mira gave a small smile.

"Understood." And she kept in her moms arms and gave her a tight hug.

The supermarket wasn't too far from their house. It was the crowd that was the problem. Tiffany had to push past several people before getting a cart and placing Mira on the seat. She quickly moved down the isle and grabbed some bread of the shelf. Mira looked eagerly at the people around her. And the different options. She actually thought that she could make it without causing to much attention.

Then it happened.

'Why is that kids hair white?'

'Is it dyed? What mother would dye her child's hair?'

'Is she blind?'

'I wonder why I haven't seen her before.'

'Does she live around here? I've never seen her at school.'

So many people were thinking about her. How she seemed out of place, and weird. Mira clutched her head. She couldn't help but hear their thoughts since they were all about her. Tiffany seemed to noticed and quickly made her way to the checkout line. Mira held her head tightly.

'Don't read their minds, clear you head, clear your head." Mira chanted. Still the thoughts rolled in as more people started to notice her. Tiffany was just getting her bags when Mira soon couldn't take it.

'STOP IT!' She screeched and nearly half the store clutched their heads in agony and fell to the ground. Everyone who didn't force in fear and checked to make sure that their friends were okay. Though the headaches still lingered.

'I'm sorry' Mira thought. This time only Tiffany heard. 'It's okay.' She thought back and they rushed out of the store.

Meanwhile an agent that had been in the deli section saw everything go down, including Mira and Tiffany rush out. He got out a communicator and turned it on.

"I found a super, priority red."

2 Days Later

Tiffany had every blinds and curtains closed and made sure that every door and window was locked. She's been stressed ever since that incident and she was currently on the phone with her sister.

"I just need you to be on stand bye, word moves fats around here." Tiffany explain as she was folding laundry. Glancing at Mira's room a few times. She was currently relaxing in her mind-space.

"Relax Tiffany, I'm always here for you both. Just let me know if anything changes." She replied and they each hung up. Tiffany sighed as she folded one of her shirts and then looked at her dresser. There was a newspaper clipping of the day Echowave saved her. She was caught in a villains scheme and was thrown of a building to distract Echowave. Though he still managed to save her and stop the villain. She cherished that memory ever since.

KNOCK KNOCK KNOCK!

Tiffany gasped and quickly ran down the stairs and grabbed the door nod. She took a deep breath and opened the door that revealed two men wearing black tuxedos and shades.

"Good afternoon ma'am. We are here to discuss your daughters abilities." One said and Tiffany's face went white.

"I'm sorry, but we are not interested." She said, trying to sound sincere.

"Ma'am your daughters powers are extremely unstable. She needs to be in a safe place." The other man explained calmly.

"Safe for her? Or safe for everyone else? Let's face facts, you want to lock her up and hide her away from the world." Tiffany glared, gaining more confidants.

"That's not what we said." The first man said reaching a comforting hand out. Tiffany slapped it a away.

"But that's what you implied. She's only a child. So now listen to me, thank you for the concern, but my daughter is staying here." Tiffany then slammed the door and locked it before they could even utter a word out. She waited a few second and peeked out the window and saw them talking on a walkie talkie.

"It's clear they won't cooperate, so execute Plan B." The second man said and they walked towards their van. Tiffany sighed heavily. It seems that she and Mira would indeed have to run.

Little did she know Mira was on top of the stairs and she heard everything. Wiping a few tears away and she ran back into her room.

(Mira's P.O.V)

Things moved too quickly for me, I only managed to grab a few of my things as my mom dragged me out of bed. And you know the rest. I heard a knock on my door and assumed it was Aunt Mirage.

"Enter." I called and the door opened realign Syndrome. I stood up and bowed my head respectively.

"Well Mira, I have good news. Mr. Incredible is terminated. And I wouldn't have found him of it weren't for you." Syndrome said happily and gave me a one arm hug.

"Hey why the long face? We're one step closer to avenging your Father." Syndrome asked.

"Sorry, I'm just not in the mood right now. If you don't mind, I'm going for a walk." I said and quickly brushed passed him and stormed down the halls.
