Chapter 6: The Truth Hurts

Author's Note: This chapter has a shout out to Disneyheart3 and Junior VB.

(Third Person)

Mira sat quietly in her room. The door was locked and she was silent. Syndrome nearly put her Aunt at risk. And acted like it was nothing. She clenched her fists and started to cry.

"He lied, he never cared about me at all." She sobbed and brushed away her tears.

"No, I will not cry anymore. It's not worth it." Mira stood up and looked at herself in the mirror. She wasn't a puppet to work for Syndrome or anyone. She was a strong super who could do great things. She didn't need Syndrome to guide her, Mira wasn't that little girl from long ago. She grown up and ready to rebel against Syndrome.

"I know what I have to do, but how?..." She wondered then a beam of light shined in the middle of her room. She gasped and turned to face it. The light then split in a circular motion and a figure stumbled out. The light then disappeared as if it had never been there.

"Ella, I'm here to..." She stopped and saw Mira standing in front of her.

She had brown curly hair, a head band with a seashell on it, and a pearl necklace. She seemed to be wearing jeans and a bathing suit as well. What most shocked Mira is that she was wielding a crowbar. That was a funny choice in a weapon.

"Oh, sorry wrong dimension." She said, slightly embarrassed. Mira blinked before finding her voice.

"Who are you, and how did you do that?" She asked getting in a defensive stance. The stranger rubbed the back of her neck.

"Um well it's sort of magic, and I'm trying to get to my friend." She explained and Mira relaxed. She wasn't reading any bad intentions in her mind.

"So...how'd you do that?" Mira asked. She held up her crowbar.

"It can take me to different worlds." She explained and her compact mirror beeped and she opened it. "Oh no, she's in more trouble now." She said and put her mirror back and opened another portal with her crowbar.

"Sorry again, I really need to go." She said.

"Um...no problem...good luck." Mira said, not sure what else to say.

"You too." The stranger said and turned around. "Third times the charm." She muttered and jumped through and the portal closed as it did before. Leaving Mira alone, and slightly alarmed.

"Well...I know what to do now." She said and ran to get her Aunt.

(Mira's P.O.V)

I quickly made my way down the halls, not caring if any one stared at me as I went. Before I reached my Aunt's room an alarm sounded.

"Intruder alert. Intruder alert. Intruder alert." A robotic voice announced and several agents ran past me. I ignored them and turned a corner. Heading for Mr. Incredible's cell. Once I made it there I saw my Aunt was right outside. The door she noticed me and smiled.

"It seems we both had the same idea." She said and I nodded. "I should have done this sooner." I said and Aunt Mirage opened the door. I rushed it and pressed the release button and Mr. Incredible fell to the floor. We glanced at the door, making sure no one came, and ran up to him.

"There isn't much time." My Aunt said. Mr. Incredible suddenly shot up and grabbed her throat. I gasped and stumbled back.

"No there isn't, in fact there's no time at all." He muttered and I quickly ran up to him and stomped on his foot.

"Put her down!" I cried and kicked him in the shin and he let my Aunt go.

"Why are you two here? How can you possibly bring me lower? What more can you take away from me?" He asked, clenching his fists.

"You're family survived the crash, they're here on the island." Aunt Mirage explained and his eyes widened.

"They're alive?" He gasped. I then realized that it must have been them that set off the alarm.

"Yes, but they'll need your help." I said and grabbed his arm, trying to pull him to the door when I looked up and saw a women at the entrance. Glancing at her outfit I could only imagine that she was Mr. Incredible's wife. She stared at us in shock and my Aunt broke the silence.

"Hello, you it just be Mrs..." She was cut off by Mrs. Incredible extending her arm and punching my Aunt. I ran up to her and made sure she was alright. She must have been Elastigirl, based on her powers.

"They were helping me to escape." Mr. Incredible explained. "No, that's what I was doing." She said angrily. He then grabbed her arm and started pulling her towards him despite her objections.

"Let go of me. Let go, you lousy, lying, unfaithful creep!" She was then pulled into a passionate kiss. I started in awe, feeling the warm love between the two.

"How could a betray the perfect women?" He asked one the kiss broke. "Oh, you're referring to me now?" Elastigirl asked as I helped my Aunt up.

"Where are the kids?" Mr. Incredible asked. "They must have triggered the alert." Aunt Mirage warned.

"If you hurry you can find them before the guards take them back here." I said.

"Now our kids are in danger?!" Elastigirl cried as they started running our the door.

"If you suspected danger why'd you bring them?" Mr. Incredible asked.

"I didn't bring them, they stowed away. And I don't think you're not striking the proper tone here!" She cried as they ran out of earshot. I then started running out the door too, but my Aunt grabbed my wrist.

"Mira, where are you going?" She asked and I looked up at her with determination. "I'm going to confront Syndrome, I only wish I'd thought of it sooner." And with that, I ran off.

I didn't often go in the jungle, but I was now desperate. At times like this I wish I could fly. It would make it easier for me to get around. After a while I heard some battle noises. I ran in that direction. I hid behind a rock and saw that Mr. Incredible and Elastigirl were caught in Zero-Point Energy by Syndrome, along with two others who do didn't recognize. I glared at Syndrome and took a breath before looking at he guards.

'Point your weapons at Syndrome.' I ordered in their heads and in a instant all guns were pointed at him.

"Hey whoa. Haha, what are you doing?" Syndrome asked. "Come on, what's gotten into you?" He asked backing up. I then stepped out from behind the rock.

"I told them too." I announced and Syndrome's eyes widened. "Oh Mira, is this really necessary?" He asked calmly.

"Let them go. Now!" I yelled.

He merely laughed. "Or what?" He scoffed.

"You know what..." I muttered darkly. His eyes widened and I entered his mind...wait...no I didn't...something was keeping his mind clear. This wasn't normal...even if he cleared his head I would be able to feel it...

"You...you're blocking me...YOU LIED TO ME!" I screeched. Syndrome the started to back away.

"Now clam down Mira, I can explain." He said. Keeping that stupid grin of his face.

"Explain that you've been using a device to keep me from breaking your mind? You are afraid of me! You're no better than the ones who wanted to lock me away!" I yelled.

"Mira listen...you don't understand..."

"I understand that you would rather have my Aunt die than risk your plan! I understand that you lied to me my whole life! You never cared you used me!" I yelled and aimed a punch at his head but a guard tackled me to the ground.

"Well, looks like you forgot to keep your hold on my guards. And your right I was blocking you out, only to keep you from finding out the truth." Syndrome monologued as the guard cuffed me and placed something on my head. It was to keep my powers at bay...something I hated...

"Sorry Mira...the truth hurts." He said and we were lead away.

He was right...the truth hurt worse than any knife. Syndrome didn't know it but inside my heart cracked. I used to think he cared about me, I guess I was wrong.
