"So, why bring me?"Ryan asked. They were now at an airport
"Because your powers are more versatile than Violet's or Dash's."Helen replied, as she got out of the car, heading toward a jet.
"Um, we won't be flying over water, will we?"he asked, slowly following her
"Yea, but there shouldn't be any problems."
"Lovely"he said sarcastically
The two boarded the jet.
After 30minutes, Helen looked over at her bag. She decided something in her head. She then looked through her bag and through something at Ryan, who was in the copilot seat. He looked at, then at her.
"Put that on"she said as she returned to flying the jet.
Ryan nodded, and entered the bathroom to change.
"Well, wearing this, I feel ridiculous. I'm sure it serves a purpose though"
Helen then put it on autopilot and changed into hers.
She through her bag in a seat in the passenger section to hear a voice. Then Violet turned visible again.
"Violet! What are you doing here?"Helen angrily asked
"Dash took off and I knew I'd get blamed!"
"Nu-huh!"Dash said as he stood up on one of the seats
Ryan stayed in the copilot seat.
"Um, mom, the radar is blinking with something moving towards us"he said as he became nervous
Their mother raced over to the pilot seat.
She turned on the seat-belts sign, prompting Giolet and Dash to put the seat-belts on.
Helen pleaded with whoever sent the missiles to stop them, to no avail, as she maneuvered the plane by most of them, but then a hit was bound to happen.
"Violet, put a forcefield around the plane!"Helen yelled
"But I've never made one that big"Violet said as she began trying to make one
"Violet!"
Then, Helen and Ryan ran over to Dash and Violet, Helen covered the two stowaways, while Ryan used some shadows to cover himself and their mother in a dark shield. The plane exploded with the missile.
The large shield of shadows broke apart.
Everyone was conscious and screaming as they fell out of the sky.
"Hey! I have something had to tell you guys!"Ryan yelled as they hit the water
Violet, Dash, and Helen looked around for him to see him struggling to stay afloat.
"I can't-"he went under for a second"I can't sw-"was all he said before he went under again, not coming back up
"Ohmygod! He can't swim!"Violet said frantically as she went under to get him
Dash swam past her quickly, stopping Ryan from sinking any further, but also swimming him back up a bit till Violet reached them and got him above water. The two kids spotted their mother who had turned into a boat with her stretching powers. The two kids hoisted him ontop of her. They checked his heartbeat. It was slow. He wasn't breathing. Violet began doing CPR on him. She pushed on his chest, then blew air into him, and continued this a few more times. After the fourth time, Ryan shot awake. He coughed up lots of water. Violet hugged him tightly.
"Eww!"Dash said loudly as he kicked his legs at the back of the boat in the direction of the where the missiles came from. After they made it to the island, they all went into a cave for shelter to the night had come.
"Sorry, I never told any of you sooner. It just never came up"Ryan spoke up after they got a fire going
"Well, we now understand why you avoided swimming pools."Helen said as she put some sticks in the fire to keep it going for a bit."well, Ryan, I'll leave you in charge here."Helen told the boy clad in black. She then gave Dash a few words of encouragement, and handed them their masks, clearly stating that hiding their identities is very important. She then headed out, but was stopped by Violet. Ryan could tell the two had a brief heart to heart.
After Violet returned, she seemed determined to be able to master her powers. She started with just creating a forcefield around the fire, then the smoke from the fire. Dash got bored and started going deeper into the cave, but soon coming running out at top speed. Ryan grabbed Violet by the arm, pulling her up as he ran with her and Dash. The three barely made it. It had felt like some force had pulled them out at the last second.
Then, the cold presence from before was felt again as a lone man stepped into their view.
"Hello there kids and hello there, Son"he said as he came closer
