Chapter 42
Hours have went by then now became the day after the whole incident with the unprepared attack from ScreenSlaver and saving the ambassador from being killed, Helen was currently in her hospital bed with her mask on but wore hospital clothes and didn't have a relaxed face expression. But, instead her expression was completely mad while looking straight at the ceiling fan that is currently blowing cool air on her now cool face. Her mind was on her villain. A villain that played her and her sisters like newbie superheros that has no idea on how to handle pressure situations, and took the inappropriate dirt move on her without even being spotted from no one. Helen idly wondered if agreeing with Winston's deal about bringing them as the right tools for bringing back superheros, instead of letting the kids do it since this era belonged to their generation while herself, Bob, and the others were old fashion and outdated.
"God, what can I do?. I..I.. I just don't know if I can keep up with all of this." Helen said, placing her hands together on her covers while talking to God.
Helen's mind begin to think about her deceased sister Cindy who was their key helper in any given situation on superhero work as she was the only person on Cornelius level to use beyond skills on technology, in which she was famous for keeping them alert and stay on their feet when danger is far or near. Truly knowing Cindy was their key to success as superheros let alone their old school humanoid AI but, now that she was no longer amongst them it is currently difficult to work as superheros. Helen looked at her area and noticed that Franny and the girls were seating down asleep with blankets wrapped around them, and tell they've been with her all through the night and can not help but smile. What came next that catch her attention was the vibration coming from underneath her covers in which surprised her a little. She pulled the covers up a little and see it was her phone showing Hiro's face and did not hesitate to answer.
"Hiro?." Helen said, putting the covers back on her legs.
Hiro was using his hand phone while standing in the living room watching Jack Jack in his crib, "Hi, Aunty Helen, I've heard about the whole ScreenSlaver attack from my aunts and just checking to see how your recovery is going."
Helen relaxed up against her soft comfortable pillow, "A little bit sore to be honest. Franky, I've been through worse so no worries. How about you?. How's our family?."
Hiro slowly walked back and forth to think up a way to keep the whole 'Jack Jack Has Superpowers' on the down low while also keeping out the part of him going to another dimension and hanging out with who knows what. "Our Familia is doing well Aunt Helen. I help Uncle Bob learn about the new math that Dash was doing and have him currently studying at the table while the others are in their rooms doing whatever. Plus, I've been trying to find out where ScreenSlaver is hiding since Miguel can't find him for some strange reason, while thinking that he might put up a supernatural protection shield to hide himself from the eyes of the 'Skull Rider'. Gosh, I hate saying Miguel's superhero name. It's so ignoring at times." Hiro talked while twitching his left eye of irritation when seeing that Jack Jack had once again jumped back into teleporting.
"I see... well don't worry about it for now. I'm sure we can found a solution to this little issue. Besides this is not my first rodeo." Helen place her phone down on the table after putting it on speaker while getting out of bed to put on her super suite.
Hiro did the same with his phone and was now polishing the glass of one of his display bin with his collection of Iron X's. "I hold you on that one Aunt Helen. But, I'm still at ya service so...don't be shy to ask."
"Ahhhhhhhhhhh!!!!!." Hiro stood up in pure shock when hearing three combined scream and have to look to see Maymax appeared with a worried look.
"Upstairs now." Maymax said holograming out of the lab.
"Hiro what's going on?. Hiro?." Helen ended up getting the deadline after hearing what appears to be the combination of three screams from Penny, Violet, and Vanellope. Now wondering if she should be worried about it or let Bob handle the situation. "Why am I thinking we're missing out on something out of the ordinary?." She asked herself before putting her boots back on her feet.
Hiro made it up to the upstairs as fast as his elevator could and instantly saw his baby sister and Violet and Penny both screaming and running down the steps, and could see that his Uncle Bob was up and alert while also seeing Momma Abuelita was on her feet. Next he saw Dash, Miguel, and Wilbur coming in after what it appears to be a early head start workout on the hologram simulator, and they too heard the girls screaming their heads off. "Oh, crap, crap, crap!." Violet yelled when jumping off the steps and ran right behind Wilbur for protection while Penny did the same to Hiro, and Vanellope did with Miguel. "Well, okay, what's going on?." Wilbur asked his girlfriend in worry. Violet pointed out what's at the top steps and guided everyone's eyes to the steps to see a small red angry razor sharp teeth wild monster.
"Blah blah blah blah blah blah!." the small creature who was none other than Jack Jack yelled while pounding his chest like an ape.
"Dammit, not now not today." Hiro yelled in his head in his head.
"Oh, boy, now the cats is out of the bag. So much keeping this little secret on the down low." thought Bob before carefully approaching the steps to grab his son.
"Uncle Bob don't approach towards that demon!." Penny said clutching Hiro's back shirt.
"Yeah, Dad let Miguel handle it." Violet looked at Miguel who looked amazed to see what his seeing let alone know 'That' upstairs wasn't evil, "Miguel don't just stand there looking loss...get that demon!."
Miguel now crossed his arms and had a 'Are you stupid or what' look, "Uh, hello?. I'm a supernatural hero and not an exorcist...until I'm able to master it."
"Guys just stop. Num Num cookie." Hiro pulled out his peanut butter cookie packet and instantly see Jack Jack teleported off the steps, and right in front of him with his arms out for reach.
Just as soon as he gave Jack Jack his cookie he then changed back to normal and begin consuming his treat while leaving everyone except for Hiro and Bob in shock. They've looked in great shock to see Jack Jack was officially on the list of supers and wondered if his plain or none plain. "Jack Jack has superpowers?!. When and what the hell?!." Violet yelled out before pushing herself out of hiding from Wilbur.
"F... For a while now." Bob grabbed Jack Jack and motion his way into the living room.
"For a while now?. Say wait...you and Hiro have known about Jack Jacks superpowers and kept us in the dark?. That is so not cool!." Wilbur argued with his arms crossed.
Penny now titled her head with her right hand on her hip and raised an eyebrow, "Hiro I always knew you were keeping things from me...especially when I asked if I can come help you in your lab as one of our dates but, seeing what I'm seeing you're a snake in the grass."
"Well uh, I wouldn't say I'm a snake in the grass. But...I'll get back with you on that one." Hiro scratched his head for both not washing his head and too brain stuck to think.
"You know I always did sensed a spark of flame in the house but, wasn't quite sure if it was my inner 'supernatural' soul or not. But, I've never thought it was Jack Jack." Miguel pointed out when sticking his finger near Jack Jack and instantly got turned into a flaming bone finger, indicating that Jack Jack has the power to go into a human torch.
Bob sat Jack Jack down into his crib and relaxed when sitting down on the couch. "Look we're sorry for keeping all of you in the dark about this but we've had reasons." Bob started when pulling out his phone to see that Cornelius have texted him to come to work asap. "I've got to go. Cornelius need me to security him in his lab of his something about conducting his final stage of his experiment."
"Hey, Uncle Bob by any chance have you seen Bolt?. He hasn't been around in the house nor outside in the backyard. I doubt his hanging around with Dante." Vanellope said when squeezing Bolts plush squeaky chew toy carrot.
Penny now started to wonder about her dog and wished that she had known sooner. But, she wasn't going to let it mess with her since her pet was the least of her worries for now that is. "Go right on ahead and go protect Cornelius, Robert. Even though I've keep telling that man to work at home and spend less at his company. Like Mamma Imelda always 'Family is important and always comes first'. You think he learns that when we learned about Poppa Hectors story and being betrayed by his only friend." Mamma Abuelita said when picking up her youngest grandson tickle his belly to make him giggle. Bob nodded and motion his way out of the house to go put on his security guard uniform that was in the trunk of his car, and head straight to Robinsons Inc and see what Cornelius is up to this time around while leaving Jack-Jack at the hands of not only good old beloved Mamma Abuelita and the famous always getting into trouble kids. As soon when Bob left the rest have talked about what to do with Jack Jack now that his a super and doesn't know how to control his powers. Heck, they don't even know what will trigger the baby into tapping into his high potential powers all except for Hiro and Maymax of course.
"We need to call Uncle Lucius. His our only option at this moment." said Violet who has already thought on what to do at this point.
Vanellope looked at Violet with a shock, "Uncle Lucius?. Well I was thinking we should call Honey Lemon. I'm sure the cafe isn't busy today and I she's a leading expert of superhero trilogy."
Violet shrugged her shoulders before Wilbur pull her close to him with his hand on her side. Then he said, "I don't see why we can't call both of them and get their opinions."
"Oh, no that's completely out of the question." Hiro argued before receiving a painful ear pull from Penny.
"You don't get a say in the matter Hiro." Penny now scolded at her boyfriend and pulled his ear for the second time.
"True and plus, we're a team and you shouldn't keep anything from us!." Dash said pointing his finger out at Hiro with a scowl.
Hiro rubbed his painful ear and looked at his cousin with a scowl of his own, "Um, first off who told you that you're part of Team Future?. Just because we're family doesn't mean that you're getting a handout. Especially you Vanellope."
"What?!. What do you mean Hiro?!." both Dash and Vanellope said in big shock.
Miguel shaked his finger back to normal and said, "Well technically this team supposed and only be the number of five. In which are myself, Violet, Wilbur, Penny, and Hiro. We've never did planned having more people on the team since we can all agree that five is enough."
"So, ya telling us that we're not members of Team Future?. Dude, that's so totally wrong." said Dash.
"No, it's not Dash. You guys are temporarily members." Wilbur pointed out before giving them a weak smile.
"Keyword...temporarily with an capital T." Miguel put his arm around his girlfriend.
Vanellope crossed her arms and gave both Miguel and Wilbur a scary look in which made the poor hispanic boy step back from distance, "Temporarily?. You guys are just making this crap up."
Penny shook her head no, "Nope. You guys are temporary members until you guys prove yourselves. Such as putting more effort in the fight or just standing out and won't take no for an answer from bad guys when they talk low to you nor the authorities saying that you guys should leave it to the professionals and what not."
Now Dash and Vanellope both pouted with their arms crossed, "No Fair!."
"Anyways." Hiro handed Jack-Jack to Momma Abuelita. "We don't need either one of them that we can handle so... "
"Achoo!." Jack Jack sneezed hard enough to fly right out Momma Abuelitas arms and used his powers to go through the ceiling.
"Oh, shoot!." Hiro said without hesitation and ran past everyone and summoned his Iron X glove with just a wave of his hand.
The glove flew right out from underneath the tech wooden floor and collide with his right hand just in time to blast the glass slid door and jump right out. Hiro looked up to see Jack Jack flying right down towards him and catched him. The baby giggled in amusement and satisfaction that he instantly teleported himself and Hiro back inside the house, and left everyone outside to go help Hiro but then noticed he wasn't outside anymore. "Hey, how did he..." Wilbur was lost of words to say when he and the others came back into the house. Violet shook her head when reaching her phone to go ahead and call both Lucius and Honey before getting to the point to fight Hiro for keeping this big important secret from herself and the family.
"Our butts should be out playing hero and not sitting around." Penny rudely mumble it under her breath before making her way to go search for her dog.
After the past four hours doing some final checks before getting the big okay from the doctor, Helen and the Dynamics have rode in one of Winston Deavors finest limos with his trusted limo driver driving while their RV was currently stored on a small eighteen wheeler behind them. Inside Helen was reading the newspaper seeing that both Cass and Hiro have made it to the front page seeing that one of the newspaper photography team have catch them on the rooftop and catch a good picture. The girls had congratulated their sister on a brave act and saved lives while discussing on what to say to Winston at one of his companies big headquarters saying that he has a surprise for them.
"Let's be honest here we're not making any progress since we've put ourselves back in tights. Sure, the whole point of this goal was to show people that superheros are a need and not be considered a hazard." said Luisa, before crossing her legs and slightly tap her foot in tempo.
Franny then sighed before looking through the window on her side, "It's hard to admit it but we lost our step and not have our heads in the game like we used to do."
Sierra nodded while checking on Penny through their texts, "Can you blame us?. We've never been supers for years and we've gotten real sloppy."
"Yeah, especially with you Helen." Cass pointed out with a tease smile.
Helen placed her hand on her face in embarrassment when remembering she did told them about trying to save Bob on that island and was embarrassingly sloppy when trying to do so. Especially with trying to sneak up on one of the guards to grab his card key to access the locked door but, instead find herself getting her leg caught by the door behind her. However it didn't stopped her the first time as she stretched her way long over the walkway hallway and was inches away from getting it until the door closed on her waist, and thus got her both stuck and embarrassed to no end as it was truly a shame let alone being a pain. Helen shook the memory from her head before herself and the girls have seen a big crowd surrounding the building that they were entering from.
"Say, why are they here?. Is this a protest against us?." Sierra asked in worry.
Luisa looked highly worried with memories of rejection from the Glory Days. "God, I hope not. I can not stand another hate march."
The limo driver shook his head and said, "Oh, not at all ma'am. These are your supporters and fans. You can officially say that your progress is baring you fruit."
This put a great mood into the five and just quickly have to roll the window and take turns waving and sending peace signs to their loyal fans. It put so much happiness and a re-spark of hope that they just might not have to bring Hiro and the others to aid them. "Say, sweetie what does your sign say?." Helen asked when her eyes landed on the little girl who looked to be in elementary and see she wasn't cheering nor screaming of happiness like the others. The girl smiled and turn her sign so the five of them can see it in which automatically had shut them down in the bad way possible. There on the sign with big bold words brought threat and concern.
ScreenSlaver is still out there Elastic Dynamics.
And then what came next was her flipping to the other side and gave them a message. Only except this message was not for them but to deliver it to the other group.
Come out and play Team Future
or
Watch innocent people die on your hands.
Remember Team Future you did started this fire.
"What the F. U. C. K?." spelled a high shocked Franny.
Luisa shook her head, "No, more like, 'You've Got To Be Shitting Me' type of question."
The limo driver drove away from the adoring crowd to head for the entrance tunnel and parked the car where the fast access to Winston's office. From there they got out and went in side on where the elevator is located. Then one of them pressed the button that read up and headed straight to to go finally speak to their deal partner since this is now consider to the up most important. Upon reaching the floor they speed walked to the left on where his office is located and did a few turns of direction until making it to his office, and in which their he was behind his desk with the phone on his and assuming he was going to book them for another advertisement deal. Once he looked up to see who it was he quickly told the person on the other end that he'll call later and hanged up. "My favorite female heros." He got and went around to seat down on top of his front desk and crossed his arms with a joyful smile. "I've got a big surprise for you five in which this would put ya in a fantastic mood."
Helen raised her hand to prevent him from saying another word, "We've got a big surprise for you as well...but, it's not going to be awesome compared from what you have in-store for us."
"Oh?. Then... what's the news?." Winston asked who is now concern.
"Winston we can no longer do this. We have to drop this deal." begin Sierra with her arms crossed.
Then Cass took a deep breath before speaking, "After what has happened to us down at the studio and let alone the attack on the ambassador. We've came to a big decision on going back home and just let the kids handle the situation. Since after all the ScreenSlaver has his eyes and focus on them."
Luisa stepped on up and said calmly, "Plus, we're so obsolete. We've lost years of timing and sadly we can not keep up with these new crooks, and their fancy technology."
"It's a big pill to swallow for us but, doggone it that's the painful fact." said Franny who hated to admit it.
Winston nodded and see what they mean in which proven evidence show that new villains are equipping themselves with such technology. But, he knew that the five can get their timing back on track and be on the same page as the criminals of today. "Listen. Yes, I know that time has changed since the end of the Glory Days era and we're in the new era but, you guys can adept to the change. I've seen it happen with the return of the Skull Rider. Heck, that legendary superhero has been gone for centuries but not once lose his steps nor timing."
"True." all five agreed in defeat even though the Rider is Miguel and not Harper McCoy.
"Now, then". Evelyn clapped her hands to get everyone's attention with a big lazy smile, "Me and Winston have whipped up a big surprise for you five and I'm sure you'll enjoy. Come!."
Winston nodded and jump off from his desk and help his sister guide the Dynamics to second door of his office and open it up all the way. From entering inside they could say soft jazz music playing and smell tasty food and bar on the right, and saw the big surprise in front. There in the back of the room is a group of five new superheros who were in their superhero costume and just talking amongst to each other, until one of them who looked back and gasped in pure excitement and nervousness. This have brought the supers attention stood in grand shock.
The Elastic Dynamics were in surprise to see other superheros beside Team Future and Big Hero 4. The one that they spotted that was highly excited to see them have walked up to them but,tried to keep her professionalism on standby and not breakdown into a super fan crazy girl. The young woman who might be at the age of twenty-three who is tall and slender with light tan skin. Let alone have magenta lips and have teal blue straight hair running down the right side of her face, and with turquoise blue eyes. Her out fit is a tight lime and teal blue leotard with sleeves and matching boots and gloves, and have an indigo V logo on the front of her chest with lime oval circle in which Franny have indicated that her powers must involve with wormholes.
"Hi, my name is Voyd and I'm a superhero. Well, you guys can already tell from my outfit but...yeah." said Voyd before biting her tongue from messing up with her first impression.
The Dynamics hold their laughs in as this was quite entertaining to a young being choked up on his or her words when meeting their heroes. The five have cought the young girls name in which is Karen after she covered herself with her left hand to give herself the 'Don't F Yourself Up' motivate talk before turning back to face them with a cheesy smile. "Let me start over. Hi, my name is Voyd and my superpowers are creating wormholes to any object or person. Here let me show you guys." said Voyd. The first thing she did was going over to the coffee table that was located behind her and picked up a black mug before throwing it up. Before the mug can even hit the floor she instantly have her hands out to create multiple wormholes and sent the cup on a ride. From each hole it entered the mug managed it's way towards Franny and landed on her bare hands while Voyd stopped her powers, and then place them together with a clap noise and huge grin to complete it.
"And scene!. Cool display hu?." asked Voyd.
Franny chuckled while putting the mug down on the floor and said, "That is pretty good newbie. You and the rest got great potential. Tell us. What motivated you guys to be heros?."
"Besides of having superpowers." said Cass when seating down the couch.
"Well... original we've all watched the documantity of Glory Days era and see how you guys strive to make the world a place to live without worry of crime. I was a little girl at the time when I first begin to have interest in supers after I discovered my powers. Now, what got me really interested in being a hero when I saw Elastigirl and her family take on that big robot and defeated it with cooperation. Now that's my inspiration compared to my motivation." explained Voyd.
"Huh, tell me something Voyd what was your motivation of finally wanting to wear hero tights?." Luisa asked while the young girl as she reminds of her younger self.
Voyd looked at well known famous Latina hero with great joy and said, "At first I did not know on when it was time to take responsibility of my powers since we did not know what our era is named. Until he showed up. The legendary Skull Rider who returned after a centuries absence and send two clear messages for us and the croooks in was for us to stop hiding and take action, while letting those scum of crooks know that supers are coming. Yeah, I know that doesn't sound correct but, that is what I think. But anywho my motivation was seeing both Team Future and Big Hero 4 take down not only the IT Robotics college professor but also the Underminer despite that they were breaking the law, both teams sent the same message through their actions by telling us new supers is that our era is the Rebellion Era. Oh, god, I just love Team Future and Big Hero 4, and especially you guys as well !."
Without even giving anyone of them the heads up, Voyd threw herself on to Helen and gave her the biggest hug possible. Helen was surprise for a small second but hugged back and smiled happily knowing that her and her sisters wasn't in vain. Winston smiled proudly when watching his dream growing into a reality even further while his sister watched lazily while not realizing that Luisa was looking at her halfway hidden jewelry that was underneath her shirt but, can easily see the chain around her neck. Suspicious, Luisa have felt a sudden dark vibe about Evelyn as strangely it has something to do with the hidden chain necklace. "Somethings not really adding up here. My son can not locate Screenslaver in which that is down right impossible due to him having supernatural power of the Skull Rider. What's the missing puzzle here?." Luisa thought on this while the party begin that was dedicated to them and their hard work. Meanwhile Miguel was riding in the streets of Metropolis while not getting pulled over by any police officers for not having a license to drive nor have the appropriate age. Now, the reason he was their is due to knowing someone who can aid him in this difficult time as he still couldn't get any whereabouts of Screensaver and needed to get his head cleared from the tower. He knew people that can help him and surely deliver on the spot without any issue.
He droved up to the alley on where their was nothing but a brick wall in front and two oversized trash and recycle cans on the left. Miguel turned off his motorcycle and then hopped off and left it without care if it gets stolen since he can track his Soulcycle or even whistle to come froth. He approced up to the dead end and then begin walking up the Invisible steps and rang the Invisible doorbell that was playing a lovely tune of Beethoven's peaceful music. Without having to wait the wall begin to transform into a wooden red door with two V glass window before seeing it begin to open up by one of the people that lived there. The person that stood in front of Miguel is tall like a NBA superstar with brown skin tone and with a low faded haircut. His clothing is like of the monks only except his is black and wore a cross necklace. He looked at his guest smiled and spoke in friendly attitude, "Hi, Miguel. Come to have a visit with me and the Grand Superior Sorcerer who know as my girlfriend?." Miguel chuckled and said, "Si amigo but, I'm mostly visiting your girlfriend. It's urgent. You do understand right Jones?." The man nodded and move aside to let him in and close the door behind him. Inside Miguel looked at the huge room area that looked like a fifty mansions all roll into one as their was so many levels on the steps for each area. Within the building it have a lot of ancient and mystical objects all put in glass display cases or hanged up on the walls to not only look interesting but, also keep them out of hand touching due to the objects are real and dangerous. "Victoria is in her meditation room. This way." Jones guided Miguel forward into the long extreme hallway in which it really was a long walk. "Can you please shortened the hallway?. I was not planning on walking the endless walk." said Miguel.
Jones chuckled and begin making his hands glow green aura and then spread his arms out before colliding them into an X. With that the whole hallway magically begin to shortened up and made the entrance reachable. "Anything for you Rider. After you." Jones stopped to allow Miguel to enter in first.
When entering inside the room the two stood in front of the women that Miguel was seeing. She was hovering in meditation while facing the five lined window that was showing a magical display of different places that looked quiet nice, such as showing fly stars in space from the first while the second shown the inside of the beautiful ocean with fish of all sorts swimming around. The third one showed a veiw of a lovely tropical rainforest and see slow rain fall and can hear brids singing. The fourth window showed islands that Miguel has never seen before as it looked untouched by modern technology nor modern people, while the fifth window showed from what Miguel can see was a live action comic book world. "Welcome Miguel. Welcome to the home of the mystical and unknown guardian of our reality. Or let just say this called the guardian house of protection against the darkness." said the women who turned around doing hovering and show her face smiling to see her friend. The woman is asian with the age of twenty five and wore peridot color outfit with a matching cape and a matching M shaped hair piece. Her best know jewelery is a long chained necklace that holds the main piece that is a round object with a symbol of their good side wizardry in which was a capital golden A with another line in the top, and along with the letter being slanted to the right. From their in between the lines of the letter stood a around small ball size piece of the necklace.
"I need to talk with you Victoria. It involves with the Screenslaver." said Miguel when walking up to her.
Victoria smiled with a head tilt and said, "Anything for you Miguel. After all you've helped me from stopping that monster from the dark dimension from entering our reality along with its dark followers."
Miguel smiled and said, "Hey, when I sense evil I'll get the job done. It's my responsibility and all."
"Yes, I know. I can sleep easily knowing that justice is being served amongst the sinner's and evil demons that has taken over in our world. We need the Rider more than we need a super nuclear bomb. Come let us talk." Victoria said when snapping her fingers and have herself and Miguel in a new room that is the living room.
Miguel reclaimed his calmness since he still can not get use to the magic that his friend was displaying after relaxing on the soft comfortable green chair. Victoria sat in front of him before moving her hair away from her face and smiled, "Tea?. Or perhaps maybe red Kool aid?." Miguel looked at his right hand to see that Victoria have magically summoned him a long glass cup of Kool aid. "I'll have tea. Lipton tea. Original please." Miguel requested when seeing the red liquid beginning to boil for just five seconds until turned into ice cold and warm Lipton tea. Miguel thanked her before starting to drink half of it and watch it refill itself right up. This was not new or amazing like the first time he encountered Victoria and Jones with the rest of the wizardry organization. You can say that Team Future and them are just alike except their organization have been around for centuries.
"Now, what can I assist you with my friend?." Victoria asked while twerling her finger and summon a big plate of fresh baked chocolate chip cookies from thin air. She grabbed herself about five of them and floated the plate to Miguel to have his share.
"Let me tell you my situation Victoria. Every since the train incident that you saw from the news after my mom and aunts saved the mayor and the civilians, in which is where Screenslaver have made his none physical appearance. From their before it can even happen I should have detected him and already right on the spot both preventing the train from almost crashing, and find and stopped Screenslaver. But...I could not have done so. I've didn't give mi familia details of it." Miguel munched down his cookies, said.
"Huh, then could you tell me what's the details?." Victoria asked all serious but kelp her enjoyment look when eating her magic made cookies.
Miguel hold off from eating his second cookie and said, "When I try to use my powers to find the sinner my mind gets blocked with such shielded force. It's like...I...I...I don't know how to describe it Victoria it's just so irritating to be doing absolutely nothing while my mom and aunts are out of their element when dealing with him. Plus, myself and my team are going at it after the whole knowing about my baby cousins multiple superpowers."
Victoria licked the crumbs from her hands and fingers before wiping her face before crossing legs, and put her hands together on her lap and took a deep breath. "Based upon what you've told me. What keeps blocking you from finding him is that his wearing the Amulet of Dark Shadow."
Miguel raised an eyebrow, "Dark Shadow?. Whose Dark Shadow?."
"Dark Shadow is a shadow creature created by Xibalba to roam the earth to go find Harper McCoy aka the original Rider. So, he can find and take back the contract from McCoy. The thing eventually found him but can not get to him since the man did work and live in the church so, evil can not touch holy ground." Victoria explained before saying praise God.
"That's who I work for. Like the good book says he is god and besides him there is no other." said Miguel.
"John 3:16 is my favorite scripture. And so, Dark Shadow have failed his master from getting what was tasked of him however the monster had other plans of its own. He started creating his own followers of darkness and thus made the dark wizardry. His final creation was the amulet in which was to keep out rightness and all good from entering with anyone who's out to do evil. It's truly made for the Skull Rider. To stop it you'll have to destroy it." Victoria explained enough for Miguel to understand.
Miguel took in the information as this is a good one since now he knows what's up. Now, the only thing he needed to know was where to officially find him and take him down. "Can you help me find him?. This was a Team Futures business but, this involves supernatural stuff. Aka, my business." He asked.
Victoria stood up from her sit. She motion him to follow and walked up to the empty section of the room where there were red wallpaper with gold strains. Victoria raised both of her hands up and chanted a magic spell while moving her hands in a circular motion, and created a oval shaped mirror and said, "Look and watch."
After Victoria have created the portal and after done telling Miguel that no one will see them since this was nothing more than a tv set. From there the two watched the rooftop where Helen and the girls are in the drizzle rain walking around talking to the same news guy from the studio, and ironically the five Glory Day heros were on top of the tv studio. Miguel watched his family and noticed his Aunt Helen was on the long broadcast dish holding a device in which both Victoria and Miguel thought it might be a home tracker. "I'm kinda disappointed of not having you guys here in person after the whole crazy encounters of the Screenslaver and what not. But, if ya don't mind asking. Where exactly are you five currently at?." asked Jack. "Oh, we're just closer than you think. Truth be told we are believing that we're on ScreenSlavers trail and soon getting ready to stump him." said Helen while moving the big device in hand to detect any signal of transmission.
"We as a team have finally realized that his nothing more than a big punk who can not fight us in person but, instead fight us in the dark." said Cass who is eyeing the buildings in the area around them to see if any unusal activaty is roaming.
"We know his listening to us at this very moment. And we know he's going to interrupt us so, he can hear himself talk and place sick threats to us and Team Future. I'm surprised they are not going after him. Guess they...want professional experienced superheros to handle this." Sierra said folding her arms and smirked.
"Plus, if he has some coconuts on him he'll stop talking and take some real action. His actions are nothing more than pure child's play." said Franny.
Miguel looked back at Victoria and asked, "Just what are they up to?. Cause all see is them in the rain talking and carrying on."
Victoria just shook her head and chuckled in her throat. "Their setting up a trap Miguel. With help they figured if they could track the broadcast from the villain and follow it. At this very moment they hacked every single radio frequency and just only encouraging him to grab the bait."
"Oh, cool beans. Can we fast forward it to the main part?." asked Miguel.
Victoria shot back at him, "And miss the action?. Um, heck...oh, wait it's happening right now so shhhhhh."
Miguel focused back on the magic air portal with an eye roll to see what just went down. Looking back he could hear Screenslavers voice in which was ignoring so fast but listen on to his villain promo while watching the five quickly started jumping off rooftops, as Helen is leading them with the device in her hand. They kelp running as the single is getting highly stronger per minute until the bar line reached its climax. "Right there." Helen breathed when looking straight at the long building that is indicated to be an apartment. From there they scanned to see if anything is out of place or suspicious untill catching their eyes on the boaded up window with white lights shooting out. "There. His hiding up in there." Cass said pointing. "Let's get his ass while his still talking." Franny moved to find a ladder down from the rooftop that their standing. Once down they then walked over to the apartments ladder and begin climbing up while still listen to Screenslaver and hope he doesn't have a motion sensors surrounding his former hidden hideout.
"I'm about to break the wood." whispered Lusia.
Using her mini crowbar from her secret pocket she was able to remove the nails from each wood blank and slowly removing them, and then setting them down inside the window along with the nails. "Stay quiet and enter with caution." Sierra informed them when about to enter. Victoria looked back at Miguel with a grin when pulling out a hundred out of thin air with just flick from her wrist. Miguel looked at her with intrest.
"What are you betting on?. I see that look all the time with my cousin Wilbur." He said.
"I bet you one Benjamin Franklin if your Aunt Cass get stuck in between the window. The window is german made and so the window has a tight space." said Victoria.
"Pfft, oh, please Victoria my Aunt Cass is fit to perfection again. So bet." Miguel said proudly.
The two looked back quickly with Victoria grinning from ear to ear when seeing Cass get her butt stucked in the window. Miguel sighed in defeat and handed his hundred to the wizard. "Cass not tonight girl. Not tonight." Sierra said as she and Franny worked on getting her in. "I swear every time I eat one slice it all goes right through my hips. All the time." Cass preached when trying to break free. Meanwhile Helen and Lusia scanned the room to find Screenslaver and took precaution when walking through. So far the two found a caged room where a table was filled with loads of paperwork of blueprints. Blueprints for making mind controller goggles. But that is not all. The two looked up at the wall and see papers covering each wall with the showing of highly recent goggle designs.
"What the hell is this guy up to?." Lusia asked.
"Don't know but ya can ask...me."
Both the two turned around to see ScreenSlaver in person and was about wack the two with his shock stick. That is if Luisa instantly kicked out of his hand and then get stretch punched by Helen and get slang up against the wall hard without the chance of getting away and escape. "Well, you two were ready for me. I'm flattered." ScreenSlaver said while easily giving up. "Games over creep." Helen barked at him before Sierra pulled the mask off and revealed to be a man who looked dazed out. "Wait hold up I don't see him hold the Amulet of Dark Shadow and plus,... that was way too easy for my taste." said Miguel who knew it. "It is and this man is not the ScreeSlaver. It's her." Victoria waved her hand to move the scene with a wave of her hand to show another person in the room. A shadow figure that no one and not even Miguel can see was standing there watching both Helen and Luisa beginning to cuff their crook for the police while the man tried to tell them that he didn't do anything. "Pause." Victoria commanded and made the scene freeze and then chanted a unrepeated spell. When done chanting she then revealed the one holding the darkness while it baffled Miguel to the point his Rider side is burning its way out.
"I'm gonna to get her. Justice of the innocent shall be done." He said with echo voices.
"And I'll be assisting you. God knows what else she's doing besides putting up such genius plot." said a serious Victoria.
