AN: Just a warning. This chapter will get a teensy bit bloody and violent. And a little swearing. Not strong, but I might drop a b****bomb.

There may have been four of them and only one of her. But she wasn't stupid enough to fight them. Just keep them busy enough to allow her to escape. "Something familiar about all of you." she eyed them curiously. She couldn't exactly place it and judging from their suits, they weren't any of the registered superheroes, meaning they were new. Their motive must have been she took a family member or something. Typical. Where were the supers when her father died?

At her comment, they made quick glances at her. Looks like their identities were safe for the time being.

"We know you're planning to control all the supers. It's not going to happen." Wilbur spoke.

Bela only let out a laugh. "Not all of them, boy. Just a handful. All it takes is one bad apple to spoil the bunch. All those supers were just means to an end. Most of them were just test subjects to the mind control. When we finally perfected it, we used those weak-minded supers to do our work. To help rid them of your kind." she said with such distaste. "It's what my father wanted and I'm just being a good girl granting his wish."

"You blame the supers for what happened to your father, but it was his actions that led to his demise." Violet said. "You just wanted someone to blame because you can't face the truth that it was his fault."

Angered at the girl's words, the woman aimed her gun at her. "Shut up! You don't know anything about my father. He was just trying to save us. Mr. Incredible took him away from me and I'm going to take away what matters to him. I'm going to turn everyone against him and all supers."

"You're right. I don't know your father." Violet held her hands up in defence. "But you would've lost him no matter what. The second he made that deal his life was over and deep down you know it. Destroying Mr. Incredible won't change what happened."

"But I'd have finally avenged my father. That's all I want."

"And by destroying him you'll be sentencing everyone he's ever cared about to the same fate as you. Avenging your father won't fix anything, only make things worse."

She was about to speak, but then grinned when she finally managed to get a good look at the girl. It may have been a different suit, but still the same figure. "Now I know where I saw you. You're daddy Incredible's little girl. Must say, nice touch on the new suit. I definitely would've shot you by now if you had that "i" logo. I'm guessing the other three were the same kids who fought me a few months ago. Aww, you thought you could defeat me? Well too late! I've got the skeleton chip. All I need to do is build another compute and download the rest of the information and I'll have every super in the palm of my hand. But before I go." she brought her gun back up and shot the daughter of the super who ruined her life. The bullet hit in her in the head and she fell unconscious. Dead.

"VIOLET!" Hiro cried out. He turned back to Sansweet, holding back his tears, and gave her a threatening glare.

"What's wrong? Did I kill your pretty girlfriend?" Bela fake pouted. "I can let you join her." she readied her gun once again, but found she couldn't pull the trigger. It began shaking violently in her hand and finally she released it, watching it fly across the room. Right, he was the telekinetic one.

"You're going to pay for what you did, bitch." Wilbur said and started throwing electric bolts at her. Thanks to her training with the NSA, she was able to dodge his attacks. Training with those who handled supers on a daily basis sure gave her perks. To defeat an electrokinetic one had to simply dose them with water. Unfortunately for her, there wasn't any water on hand and the building was too run down to have working sprinkler systems. She'd have to result to tire him out. That was the back-up tactic when dealing with supers. If their main weakness couldn't work, you just had to tire them out before you tired out.

"I've trained with the NSA for years. There's nothing you can pull that I won't expect. You may be lucky I don't have water to short circuit you, but I know you can't use too much power or you'll pass out. And for the telekinetic one, it hurt, didn't it? You're head? When you pulled that gun away from me. Neither of you are old enough to use so much power."

"You forgot about us!" a female voice said. A sound like a rocket being fired echoed around the room. When Sansweet turned around, she saw the other girl zooming towards her on rocket powered skates. These kids had distracted her. At least she had managed to take one of them down. She was tripped as the girl sped fast. Having been pulled by the leg and losing her footing.

She noticed her gun and went to reach for it, but an invisible kicked it away from her. It then floated and all it's contents were emptied. The woman turned to the telekinetic and glared at him.

"It wasn't me." he smirked.

With a confused look she turned to see Violet standing in front of her. "But I shot you?!"

"Did you really?" Violet questioned her, raising an eyebrow and then looking over to where she had supposedly been shot.

The body disappeared and not even a trail of blood was left.

"Maybe you should learn to tell the difference between what's real or not." Penny said. "Illusions and invisibility sure work well together."

"What?" she swore she shot the girl, she even felt the gun as it fired.

"For someone who knows how to beat us, you sure are lousy at it." Wilbur commented. They began approaching her, ready to take her in. But before they could grab her, a bright light shone over the hole in the ceiling. A helicopter arrived and threw a ladder down.

"Looks like I'll be making a clean get away, kiddos."

A red light pointed towards Violet who was the closest to Sansweet. "Make a move and I'll give the word. This time the shot won't miss." she told them and began making her way towards the ladder. "I assume by the looks on your faces, this time it's the real deal." she smiled darkly, taking in their negative expressions.

As Sansweet moved, Hiro and Wilbur eyed each other and gave a nod. Hiro then turned to Violet and made the same gesture. As with Wilbur to Penny.

Penny focused on the guard aiming at Violet and used her illusions to make him temporarily blind. His world was in darkness and he could not see anything. Believing it was a distraction he tried to fire his gun. Violet brought up her forcefield and deflected the shot. Wilbur threw an electro disc at the helicopter. The pilot covered his eyes as the controls fizzed. Before it could crash, Hiro held it in place with his telekinesis.

It felt like the night back at S.B when Sansweet escaped them. The power was too much for him, but he had to hold it as long as possible. Not to just protect them, but everyone else in the area. Harley would have reached the police by now or at least the supers they've freed would've got to them. He could feel himself losing it. He was beginning to feel light headed and that wasn't snot falling from his nose. It was beginning to become difficult to concentrate and the chopper was beginning to descend, rotating slowly and causing the people inside to lose balance. The two men inside jumped out and landed on the roof, attempting to make a run for it. Even the police sounded like a safer option. Sansweet had fallen off the ladder, landing on her back and ended up in the way of the tail rotor. Before she could get hit by it and possibly killed by it, Violet created a forcefield to push it back. The two females made a quick look at each other, but Violet broke it off and then proceeded to push the mode of transport away.

"Launch it up as high as you can!" Penny ordered, looking over to both Hiro and Violet. She then turned to Wilbur. "Get ready to fire it."

On her signal, with their telekinesis and forcefield combined, Hiro and Violet forced the copter as high as they could in the air. "Think you can contain it, Vi?" Penny asked.

"Yeah." she nodded.

"NOW!" Penny shouted.

Wilbur threw a supercharged electric shock and Hiro released his telekinesis, falling on his knees exhausted. Violet formed another field around the copter and held it as it exploded. She nearly lost her hold when it did go off, but managed to hold it in. When the explosion began to fade and all was left was the skeleton of the helicopter, Violet let it fall to the ground away from them. No way Sansweet would escape now. Speaking of which. The woman in question was about to make a run for it. Penny bolted to the door to stop her and Hiro cornered her. He grabbed the disc with all the super information and skeleton chip. He handed the skeleton chip to Wilbur and then dropped the disc onto the ground. With the boot, He crushed it into pieces.

"Don't think you've won yet..." before she could continue, Violet gave her a punch to the face.

"That's for shooting me." she shook her hand to ease some of the pain from the punch.

It was over now. Bela Sansweet had been defeated and all the identities of the supers would be safe and the rest of the world wouldn't fall victim to Sansweet's threat to turn the world against supers. Hopefully it meant the threat would be over for a while now and everyone could live their lives without any interruptions.

The supers she kidnapped could now return to their lives and continue on. So would they. So would this have to be another goodbye until who knows when.

The police had managed to send the curious citizens away or at least kept them away from the area most affected. The NSA, however took charge of the scene. They ordered the officers to make sure no citizen was hurt and when the missing people came out of the building, the medical team began treating to them. A young girl had first come out and told them what she knew. That four superheroes were in there. Rick Diker sure didn't need to guess who they were. A few officers and agents, few supers, went back in too help the catatonic supers. No one who didn't need to know weren't told that all the victims were supers. Diker did inform the head of police and agreed to simply say it was a random kidnappings by a mad woman.

When a gunshot was heard, the building was cleared, a few attempted to go upstairs and see if anyone was in need of assistance. By the time they reached the top floor, they could hear a helicopter and found themselves unable to open the door. It wasn't until the explosion went off, Rick and the few agents and officers he was with finally came in. They found the four teens and an unconscious Sansweet.

While the others apprehended Sansweet, Rick approached the children.

"I sure you know how much trouble you four are in?"

"What's new?" Wilbur shrugged. He got into enough of it anyway. Even when he didn't expect it.

"I'm willing to give you all a pass for what you've done. You saved lives today. But I may not be as reasonable as your families." he stated.

Location: NSA Base, Todayland

Rick escorted the team back to the base where all their families were waiting. The closer they got the more dread they felt. While they joked about getting in trouble, they knew they were in for it. Sneaking out while being on lockdown because a mad woman was on the lose, this was worthy of being grounded for eternity. Wilbur said his parents would bury him alive and dance on his grave. Pretty sure he was exaggerating, but it wouldn't be too far from the truth in this case. When the car finally stopped, they all exited and headed straight to where they were directed.

Where there parents were waiting, they were all anxiously waiting inside. They heard what their children had did and had been informed that they were on their way. The room was full of mixed emotions. Some emotions were of relief and then anger, but overall they were proud of what their children had accomplished.

First thing they did when they saw them enter, was run to their kids and embrace them in a tight hug.

"Hiro, don't ever scare me like that again." Cass ran up to him and crushed him in a bear hug. When she pulled away she immediately frowned at him. "What were you thinking you knucklehead?!" she smacked him on the back of the head.

Hiro rubbed his head. Probably was better than when she pulled him by the ear. "Sorry, Aunt Cass. But I couldn't sit back and not do something knowing full aware I could." he looked up at her.

The woman really wanted to tell her nephew that just because he should, it didn't mean he had to. But this was Hiro she was referring to. The boy who dedicated his life to helping people and that would be like asking her to close down her cafe. "I'm just glad you're safe. But you are so grounded."

Hiro merely shrugged. "I guess you won't be having me saving anyone anytime soon?"

"That's right, mister." she nodded.

"I will leave you all now. I have important maters to attend to." Diker said. They all needed a family moment. Besides, he had some important matters to attend to. One being Bela Sansweet and the other being something else of major importance.

And with that, he left the room. Leaving the families to rejoin their children and most likely scold them for their actions, while at the same time praise them. They did just save probably the entire world.

"Soooo...since Violet did defeat the bad guy and I did help her escape to do so, which means I also helped in the defeat of the bad guy, does this mean you'll ease up on my punishment?" Dash asked all hopeful.

"Nice try, buddy." Bob chuckled and ruffled his son's hair.

"Worth a shot." Dash half-smiled, but inside he was upset.

"Which brings us back to you young lady." Helen placed her hands on her hips and looked down at her daughter, who had removed her mask. "You know the drill."

"No hanging out, no technology, unless needed for work, do your homework and stay in your room until you're called out for dinner. Bathroom is the exception." Violet recited her parents rules.

"Because you saved the world, I'll make it for a week." Helen smiled.

"What?!" Dash exclaimed in disbelief. He got two weeks.

With the Robinsons, Franny was smothering Wilbur with kisses. All she cared about was that her baby boy was safe. His punishment could come later. "I never want you out of my sight again. You hear me?" she kept her grip on his shoulders as she pushed him away to look at him. He's gotten tall.

"You gotta give me some space mum." he smirked. "Having my mum hover over me might ruin my reputation."

"Maybe that should be your punishment." Franny teased.

Wilbur's eyes widened. "You're not serious?" he knew it was a joke, but this was his mother who he sometimes couldn't tell if she was really serious or just kidding.

"Got a better punishment in mind?" she raised an eyebrow.

"I'll do C.A. chores for an entire month if it'll mean you'll give me my space."

"Done." Franny gave a nod, satisfied with his proposal.

"Didn't realise you were such a mama's boy." Penny said teasingly as she came towards them.

"Shut up." Wilbur frowned.

"I think we'll live you two alone." Franny smirked at the two and pulled Cornelius away.

Once he was sure his parents were out of ear sight, Wilbur went back to face Penny. "What did you get settled with."

"Pet clean up duty until my mum thinks I've suffered enough and learnt my lesson for leaving unexpectedly." Penny answered, not too thrilled of having to clean up after three different types of pets. Bolt had been her main responsibility, giving he was solely hers, but the other two, it was rotational.

"How unfortunate. Then again, I've seen what C.A.R.L has to do and I don't think it'll be a picnic either." Still not as worse as what Penny got.

"You'll live." she punched him in the arm. "Besides, after we both get our groundings done, I still owe you a date."

"Looking forward to it." Wilbur grinned.

Penny returned to her mother. She was reasonable and knew she only had to do what she had to do. All their families understood that. But they had broken the rules and they couldn't go without facing the consequences.

"I should stock up with the pet food to give you extra work." Elise joked.

"You make me want to go back into acting so I can afford to hire a maid."

"Even if you did, I'd still make you do the work. Until you move out of the house, you'll be doing what I tell you." she smiled.

"You sure take the fun out of it." Penny commented.

"I do recall a certain daughter saying she wanted a normal life. This is it, sweetheart. The closest someone like you can get to normal."

And with that, being normal officially sucked. But she should've figured that also meant hard work. Just, did it have to be that kind of work? Grounding she got, but cleaning up after their pets? Even illusions couldn't make things easier for her. Not much help really.

"Hey, dad!" Wilbur reproached his father. He took out something from his pocket and handed it to Cornelius. "I believe you want this back." he handed him over the skeleton chip.

Cornelius took it and examined it for a moment. "I think this thing has caused enough trouble." he finally said and broke it into two pieces.

"Won't the government be mad?" Franny asked her husband. Not that she didn't doubt his decision. That invention had been trouble and she knew it since he first told her about it.

"Screw them. All I care about is that my family is safe." he threw his arms over his wife and son and pulled them closer to him. "My super family." he smiled.

"No love for your favourite brother in law?" Gaston held his hands out.

"Who said you were my favourite?" Cornelius retorted.

"We all know it." Gaston gave a nod and patted his shoulder. "And little nephew?" he removed his hand from Cornelius' shoulder and placed it on Wilbur's. "Bet you kicked ass. I knew you took after me."

"You wish." Wilbur rolled his eyes, but gave him a smile.

Gaston pulled away and adjusted his tie. "I must attend to my own matters now." he gave them a two finger salute and headed away.

"Looks like our already large family is about to get a little bit bigger." Franny said, seeing the direction where her brother was going. She wrapped her arms around her husband and rested her head on his shoulder.

Wilbur followed her gaze with an arched eyebrow and they widened when he saw to who he was approaching.

"He's got a thing for my best friend's aunt? Eww." he shuddered.

Gaston cleared his throat when he got to Cass. The woman turned away from her nephew and blinked at the man before her. Hiro only looked at the two adults curiously.

"So that cafe of yours? I think I might I just try some of your coffee and maybe offer you a hand. You did mention a job offer earlier."

"I did." she nodded. "You ever worked at a cafe before?"

"No. But I I'm a fast learner and I don't burn. I could, but I never can feel it." Gaston admitted.

"How about you just come over for coffee one day and if you're still around after closing, I'll let you help me clean up." she suggested.

"As long as I can spend time to get to know you more." Gaston smiled.

Hiro wasn't sure how to process what happened. He wasn't even sure what happened. Violet happened to appear next to him, amused by the baffled look on his face.

"Does my aunt have a thing for my best friend's uncle? Eww." he gritted his teeth.

Violet giggled and shook her head at his actions. " I think it's sweet. And if you're going to act like that to the idea of a possible romance, maybe we shouldn't be together."

That snapped him from his previous thoughts. "I didn't mean it like that. I mean, it's my aunt. Not that she couldn't, but..."

Violet brought her lips to his and that immediately shut him up. At first, Hiro was taken aback by the kiss, but then leaned into it. They kept it short, because no doubt people were watching. Those people being their families and friends.

"I think it's traditional that Hiros get a kiss after saving the day." she smiled.

"I think I agree with Vi, for once." Wilbur, who had been watching, leaned towards Penny with his lips already in the pout.

But he was stopped by her placing a finger on his lips and pushing him back. "I already agreed to a date. Don't push your luck."

"I guess I'll have to take what I can get." Wilbur surrendered. "But..." before she could try anything, he gave her a quick peck on the cheeks. "You did technically save the day by taking control and I think it's fair you get some kind of reward." he smirked. "And consider that a taste of what's to come."

"I look forward to the rest then." she shook her head at him.

The four then came towards each other and looked at each other with sad smiles.

"I guess this is it, huh?" Hiro spoke first. "Back to our old lives?"

"Seems harder this time." Penny said.

"But we still got our online chats and vacation isn't too far away." Wilbur brought up on a more positive note.

"Still, I'm going to miss hanging out with all of you. I'll even miss our usual banter." she winked at Wilbur. "And my best friend." she turned to Penny and then finally to Hiro. She took his hand in her. "And I'll definitely miss seeing you."

"We save the day and all we get is a grounding." Hiro sighed.

"Actually..." everyone turned to the door to see Rick Diker had returned. "I've just had a talk with the board and they agreed that S.B Williams Hall should be reopened."

All the kids present lit up at hearing that.

"You won't be trapped inside like last time now that the threat is over. Families are welcome to visit on specific days and contact will now be allowed to the outside world. But do remember certain activities are secret." Diker continued. "But a few rules, no crime fighting or saving the day until you all graduate."

"Even though we just saved the day and possibly the world?" Wilbur argued.

"You got lucky and there's still a lot to learn young man." Rick told him.

"But Vi and I have already been fighting bad guys." Dash brought up.

"If I recall, you are under the supervision of your parents who are already trained by the NSA."

"Okay. I get it." Dash mumbled.

"Any questions?" he asked them.

"When can we go back?" Violet asked.

"As soon as possible." Diker gave a smile.

Everyone seemed happy that the school would be reopening. It meant they could be with their friends and this time they could contact their families and get to see them at certain times. They might not be out saving the world until after graduation, but the four of them mostly wanted to be normal and hang out with their friends. The friends they've grown to care about and love. As if they were one big family.

"Consider this your award." Rick told the four teenagers.

"School sounds like a strange award." Wilbur said. "But in this case I don't care." then the four of them leaned into a hug, which led to all their families coming in for a hug.

AN: Ahhh...one more chapter after this! And did you get my pun on the chapter title...huh? I'm sorry, I know I'm not punny. And did you really think I'd kill my favourite character of all time? No, my Violet baby will live so she can make Hiro's babies! At least for this fic anyway. ...I'll stop.

But I hope you like this chapter and next will be the aftermath. Like how in The Incredibles it's three months later.

I can't believe the first chapter of Futuristic Four is nearly ending.
