Authors Notes: This episode/chapter is when Libby joins. I won't adress the reprocussions of the explosion for Jimmy this season it will affect him in season 2. Each chapter/episode will be a week after each other.
Now You See Me
At 16:46 pm, Jimmy, Cindy, Goddard and the General flew into retroville ready to meet Susan and the Neutrons.
They saw the town was mostly repaired. Jimmy looked around, "Wow! Looks like the town is getting back on its feet."
Then general looked at Cindy and said, "Cindy, better not tell your mom about what happened with Saunders."
"Why not?" she asked.
"It would just worry her." he replied.
"Fine, what's another lie between family." Cindy agreed sarcastically.
The General gave her a worried look, they flew into the neighborhood and landed infront of Cindy's house, they opened the door to find Susan and the Neutrons had set up a little welcome home party for them.
Jimmy whisperd to Cindy, "Guess everyone's excited your okay."
"Well, what did you expect it's me." she replied smuggely.
"Welcome home sweety!" screamed Susan as she went in to give her daughter a hug.
"Mom what's this all about?" Cindy asked.
"We're all just happy to see you okay." she replied.
Susan then gave Jimmy an angry look which he noticed. While Jimmy and Cindy went to go eat some of the food, the general took Susan and the Neutrons aside and asked, "Tell me how bad is it?"
"Alot of people were hurt Sam, people are still asking questions and after your press release two weeks ago, they want a name." Susan answered.
"And that name is Jame's" he pointed out.
"So General what are you going to do? Tell everyone that it was Jimmy?" asked Judy.
"No. At least not now." answered the General.
"Well that's all sorted out. Lets go and party!" screamed Hugh deilightfuly.
The group shared some laughs, played some games, Cindy showed off her powers to her mother and the Neutrons it was a fun party that lasted the rest of the afternoon and some of the night.
The next day, at 08:15 am, Cindy woke up tired from the party. She went downstairs into the kitchen where her mother was making breakfeast.
"Hey sweety, want some breakfeast?" asked Susan.
"No." answered Cindy, "I'll be late for school."
"There's no need for that sweety, the school is still undergoing repairs." replied Susan, "They said it will be open next week."
"Cool." Cindy commented. She looked around and asked, "Where's dad?"
"He left early this morning. He said something about important business." Susan answered.
"And it begins again." Cindy said to herself before she walked out the door.
When Cindy walked outside her house she heard "Kookoo."
She looked around, then heard it again "Kookoo."
She then saw an orange teenage boy wearing a hoodie and sunglasses, "Nerdtron!? What are you doing?" Cindy asked.
"We've got business." answered Jimmy.
Jimmy walked Cindy to club house that was behind his house, "What are we doing here?" she asked.
"You'll see." he answered.
They entered the club house. Cindy found it was a little cramped. "I swear Nerdtron if this is your idea of making a move!" Cindy yelled.
"Get over yourself Vortex!" Jimmy responded.
He pulled out a string of his hair, put it infront of a scanner and opened a trap door, sending them into a slide.
"Ahhh!" Cindy screamed while Jimmy remained relatively calm. They entered a room that looked exactely like the secret lab Jimmy had at the base.
"You have another one!?" commented Cindy.
"Yup." Jimmy answered.
Cindy shrugged it off and asked, "So why did you call me here Nerdtron!"
He went to his computer, "Your dad left you and me a message." Jimmy proceeds to play the message.
The general's video message played, "Cindy, because of recent events I'm putting you and James on a special task force to capture these mutations. The reason why I chose you two specifically is James needs to lay low after what happened at the base and you need a big brain to help you find and capture these mutants. Good luck to you both Vortex out."
"So how are we supposed to find these mutants." asked Cindy.
"Right now that's for me to worry about. You go off and have fun with your friends I'll call you if something comes up." Jimmy answered.
"Okay." Cindy replied.
"I almost forgot, take this" Jimmy said as he handed Cindy a box.
"What's this?" asked Cindy.
With a smug smile Jimmy answered, "If your going to be a superhero your going to need a suit."
Cindy put the box in her bag and left the lab. She then called her friend Brittany and they both made thier way to The Candy Bar.
They got a table and when they sat down Brittany asked, "So are you okay after what happened girl?"
"What do you mean?" asked Cindy.
"I came over to your house to see if you were okay after that weird thing hit town, your mom said you had gone to get special treatment." replied Brittney.
"Oh ya that, I'm okay, Infact I feel better than ever." Cindy said with a smile.
The two noticed a five girls walked in and Libby was apart of them they called for a waiter.
The waiter gave them menus and went off.
After a little while the waiter came back and asked, "Have you ladies decided on anything?"
Libby gave him the order, "Please can we have five smoothies hold the milk stickley fruit." the waiter gave him an annoyed look, "I'm serious, and five crab salads hold the crab."
The waiter wrote down thier order and gave them an annoyed look. Libby gave him a proud look, "Are we supposed to ring a bell for you. Chop chop move along!" the other girls laughed.
The waiter left with an angry expression on his face. Cindy looked at what just happened in disgust and said, "Those girls seriously need a attitude adjustment!"
"Those are the plastics what are you going to do" commented Brittany.
When the waiter came back with all the food and drinks, one of the girls stuck her leg out and tripped him sending everything on top of him.
She started to clap her hands and said,"Well done stud!"
"Hey plastic! you can't do that to him" screamed Cindy before throwing her burger at the girl.
The girl wiped off a peace of tomato from her hair and said "What's your problem Vortex!? What do you have a thing for the waiter or something!?"
Cindy walked up to the girl and argued "No! I just can't stand stuck up girls like you!"
The girl feeling intimidated started to back down seeing this Libby got up from her chair and asked "Do we have a problem blondey!?"
"Ya! we do!" answered Cindy.
Both girls walked up to each looked straight at her and demanded, "I think you owe my friend an apology!"
"I'll apologize as soon as she does." replied Cindy.
Both girls began to have a stare looked down on her and threatened, "You don't know who your messing with blondey!"
Cindy looked up on her and replied, "No. I don't think you know who your messing with!" Clenching her fist.
Suddenly a man wearing a dark cloak entered the building and shouted "Everyone get on the ground!" before pulling out a small hand gun.
Everyone got on the floor including Cindy who was playing along. The man went straight for Sam whom was at the counter and demanded, "Put the money on the bag old man!" throwing a bag at Sam.
Sam seemed to comply but got a shotgun and pointed it at the thief and screamed, "How about you put your hands behind your head!"
Everyone seemed to calm down a bit then suddenly the thief said "Old man you don't know what you've done!"
Then out of know where Sam was levitated off the ground and slammed against the wall.
Everyone looked in shock at what they were seeing, while this was happening Cindy used this as an opportunity to super speed out of the building and into an alleyway. Cindy took out the box that was in her bag and saw the suit Jimmy had made for her(The suit from the series except with a mask), she developed a smile and said "Cute."
She supersped back into the building wearing it She walked up to him and screamed, "Hey bub!"
The crowd looked at Cindy in her costume. The man looked back and said "Move along kid, before you get hurt!"
"You're the only one who's going to get hurt!" she replied, she rushed at him and pushed him to a wall releasing Sam, dropping him.
He got back up with a smile and said "Your strong." he got up, "I thought I was the only one." before telekinetically blasting her through the wall, she immediately rebounded and supersped back into the room.
The thief looked with a shocked face and said "Who are you anyway sweet heart?"
"Special girl!" answered Special girl.
The thief looked at her with a smug look and said "Special girl. I like it, I'll give myself a name too. You can just call me Force!"
"Force. Admittedly thats a cool name, but your still going down." she commented as she supersped at him.
She was immeadiately stopped, frozen in the running position. "I don't think so 'Special girl'." he mocked, before sending her flying through the roof of the building, sending her miles away.
She eventually landed on a roof of a building, "Dammit!" she screamed to herself.
Cindy raced into Jimmy's lab, "I think I found a mutant."
"Ya I know. I managed to pull some security footage, and saw the whole thing." Jimmy responded.
Jimmy walked to his computer and said "I'll use facial recognition to find out who our mutant is."
After a few minutes the face of the man popped out Jimmy looked at it and said, "Looks like our mutants name is Eric Fines. A criminal with a record for armed robbery and grand theft auto." Jimmy turned his chair around and said, "I do like his name though 'Force' that has a pretty good ring to it."
"So how do I stop him." Cindy looked at her and said "From what I saw I don't think you can."
"Why not?" asked Cindy."Because you moved at him with your super speed. Not only did he stop you but it seemed you couldn't break free." answered Jimmy.
"If I can't who can?" asked Cindy.
"I think I know." Jimmy said as he turned back to his computer he brought back the security footage on the screen this time focusing on Libby.
"Look at that girl there." Jimmy went on.
Cindy looked and observed it was Libby and said snarkily, "Oh, what about her."
Jimmy replied, "Just focus on her and see what happens."
They both looked at the screen. They looked at the moment everyone went down to the ground. They looked right at Libby and saw her disappear for a brief moment.
Cindy looked in shock, "Did I just see what I think..."
"Yes for a moment Libby turned invisible." Jimmy interrupted.
"So how is she supposed to stop our 'Force' problem." asked Cindy.
Jimmy looked at her, "This is just a theory but I think for Force to telekinetically move objects he has to see or preceive them to focus. If we get that girl to fight him he won't be able to affect her giving her the best chance to fight him."
"So how do we convince her to help us?" asked Cindy.
"That's something you have to worry about. I have other things to do." answered Jimmy.
"You can't just leave all of this on me!" commented Cindy.
"For now I have to. I need to figure out how we're going to contain him once we've caught him." replied Jimmy, he then handed Cindy another box and said "Give this to her if she agrees.
Later that afternoon, At 15:24pm, Cindy made her way to Libby's house.
She knocked on the front door and met Libby's mother Francine.
Francine looked at Cindy and greeted her, "Hello young lady."
Cindy tried to be as charming as she could, "Hello ma'am, I'm a friend of your daughter Libby. I was with her when that robbery happened at The Candy Bar, I just wanted to see if she was okay"
Francine gave her a smile, "She's fine. She's just a bit shaken, lets just give her some time to rest, I'll let her know you came by."
"Okay." Cindy replied before the door closed.
Cindy said to herself, "Think Vortex. If the polite way didn't work, I'll just have to try the direct."
She immediately went around the house and jumped over the fence and straight to Libby's window.
Libby was in her room shifting in and out of visiblity and invisibility trying to get some form of control she said to herself "Calm down Libby, calm down."
She regained control then heard a knock on her window. She opened her curtain and saw it was Cindy and opened it.
"What do you want!?" she asked.
"I know about you." answered Cindy.
"What do you mean?" Libby asked nervously.
"I know about your invisible problem." answered Cindy.
"You can't tell anyone, I'll do anything!" begged Libby.
Cindy looked at her and said "Don't worry. I'm like you too.""How so?" asked Libby. Cindy walked up to Libby's bed and lifted it with one arm."Wow! You're that Special girl." commented Libby.
"Yes and I need your help." replied Cindy.
"Doing what exactly?" asked Libby.
"Remember that guy Force. Someone I work with believes your capabe of beating him." answered Cindy.
"Look I don't want to be some freak girl, I just want this curse to go away." Libby yelled at Cindy as she lost control again and went invisible for a brief moment.
Cindy gave Libby a serious look and said "Look Libby I don't know if your powers will ever go away. All I know is nothing has ever gotten better from trying to ignore or bury your problems. You've been given a gift not a curse Libby and its your choice on how use it."
Libby looked back at her and said "Look I just don't know if I can do what you want me to do."
Cindy grabbed her shoulder and said "Libby when you confronted me at The Candy Bar, you were helping your friend because you knew she wasn't going to win. As arrogant and selfish as you are you are, you do have an honour code and I know deep down you do what's right."
Libby looked down and kept quiet. A few seconds later Cindy's phone rang.
The ohone conversation began.
Cindy: Hello.
Jimmy: Cindy! You've got to get down town, Force is back and he's calling you out.
Cindy: Alright I'll be there.
The Phone conversation ended.
Cindy looked at Libby and said, "I've got to go Force is downtown. But if you change your mind my partner said you can have this." Cindy handed Libby a box before she left.
Libby looked inside the box and then at herself in the mirror and started to fade again.
Down town retroville, several police officers surrounded Force, "Put your hands up!" screamed one of the cops.
"I don't think so coppers." said Force jokeingly.
The police continued to hold thier firearms. One of them screamed "Don't take a step!"
Force cockily walked forward, the police immediately fired but the bullets where stopped mid air.
"What the hell!" screamed one of the cops. He confidantely looked at them and said, "Sorry gentlemen I'm waiting for a lady." before sending the bullets back.
Cindy as Special girl rushed in immediately and shielded the officers from the bullets.
"Looks like my leading lady is finally here!" he screamed jokingly.
She looked at him in anger, "What are you doing anyway! I thought you were just a petty crook!"
"Oh I was! But meeting you taught me something. I was thinking to small. Why just rob Retroville, when I could be it's King." He screamed maniacally.
"Your insane!" she screamed.
"Maybe" he replied before levitating three cars and lauching them at her.
Special girl wanting to protect the officers, so she leaped into the air and caught the leading car and through it into the other one, and kicked the last one directly into the ground.
She rushed at him but with a simple wave of his hand, he changed her direction and sent her running through a fire hidrent and wall.
All was quiet when he walked to see her body under the rubble she appeared unconcious he said, "Come on you can still play." there was still no reaction so he decided to leave and in a split second she rushed up and went in for a punch.
Somehow Force noticed this in time and used his telekinesis to cushion the blow. He was sent flying through the street and and into a car.
He got up, spat out blood and laughed, "You are good. If I hadn't caught on to your little act you would've killed me." he then became a little angry and screamed, "I'm done playing with you!"
He levitated her above the ground and started to telekinetically choke her.
Special girl desperately tried to move and breath as the crowd of people around them watched in horror. The cops that were there were far to frightened to do anything.
All seemed lost for Special girl until Force seemed to have been struck in the stomach and hit in the head releasing Special girl from his hold.
"What was that!?" screamed Force.
"It was me." Libby said as she revealed herself wearing her suit(From the series)with a mask included.
"And who are you!?" asked Force.
"You can call me The Invisible girl." announced Libby.
"Well hello and goodbye." said Force as levitated her off the ground.
The Invisible girl immediately vanished and Forces powers stopped affecting her.
She went straight for Special girl, made her vanish as well and took her straight to an alley.
"Where did you ladies go!" screamed Force.
The Invisible girl put Special girl down and she recovered shortly.
Special girl opened her eyes and said "You came..."
"Don't get the wrong idea. I did this because you were right. These mutant freaks could hurt my friends and family and pretending thier not my problem won't keep them safe. I'm doing this for them." She said interrupting Special girl.
"I guess it's to soon for trust falls." Special girl said jokingly.
"It's good you have jokes, because I have a plan." she said smugely.
Force looked at the cops and said, "If they aren't coming back I guess you guys would do."before he could do anything he was dealt more invisible strikes from The Invisible girl.
"Ahhh!" He looked at her when she reappeared, "You've got to stop doing that!"
"As soon as you turn yourself in" she replied.
He tried to levitate her again but she vanished and his powers were useless against her, she dealt him more invisible strikes. He screamed from the pain.
He decided to change his strategy, he pulled apart the bricks from various buildings and created a tornado of bricks and sent each of the bricks in a different direction.
The crowd of people and the cops tried to find cover, some were hit by the bricks. The Invisible girl tried to dodge the bricks but was hit by a few of them and crashed to the ground in pain.
Force walked torwards her and said, "I can't beleive you thought you could beat me."
Invisible girl looked at him with a smug smile and said "I wasn't trying to beat you, I was distracting you."
"What!" Force shouted looking around everywhere. He levitated Invisible girl off the ground and asked, "Where's the blonde girl!"
All Invisible girl did was smile. He looked left, right, above and behind and saw out of Know where she came bursting through the ground, and punched him in the face which knocked him out.
"He's all yours." she said to the cops as she went to the Invisibel girl, "Did you get him?" she asked while groaning.
"Ya I got him." replied Special girl with a smile.
Special girl immediately picked her up and ran back to Jimmy's lab.
Libby had gotten out of the Neutron Regeneration Pod and felt good as new.
"You're lucky. That was a prototype. There was a thirty eight percent chance it wouldn't have worked" Jimmy commented.
Libby looked at Cindy and said "Is he always like this."Cindy nodded at her head to indicate yes.
Cindy then looked at Jimmy and asked "So how are they going to contain Force boy?"
"That is what I spent my day doing. I analyzed the data I received from you, Saunders and I and found something recessive. A sort of Mutant-gene. So I developed collars that in lame mans terms shut the genes connection to the body off and leave the individuel powerless. The army has already mass produced them and given them to local law enforcement." answered Jimmy.
"But we still have to catch them?" Libby commented.
"Yup" answered Jimmy.
Jimmy then stood up and said "If you excuss me ladies I am going to take a nap. I just spent the last fifteen hours developing technology that didn't exist until eight hours ago. See you tomorrow for training.." before leaving with Goddard into another room.
They both screamed, "Training!"
Jimmy's echo could be heard saying, "Yes training."
As Libby was preparing to go home Cindy confronted her and asked "About your plan, how did you know I was going to pop out at the right place."
Libby gave her a blank expression and said "I didn't. But I had faith you could. That still doesn't change things between us." before walking away.
Cindy developed a smile and followed her out.
I changed Libby's code name to Invisible girl instead of Invisible sister because I didn't like it much. And in the next chapter I will explain how Libby's powers work and how in control she is
The next chapter is titled Burp Boy.
Synopsis: Cindy and Libby investigate attacks done by mutant with sonic powers.
