Amelia XI
Evie's Notes:Hey Y'all, I'm back! Sorry for the long wait. Thank you so much for all of the love that you have given to this story! We passed 300 hits y'all. I hope that you continue to enjoy the story!
Following Charlotte up the stairs Mia tried her best to reign in her laughter. Henry's frantic lies to his parents were always hilarious. Jasper had taken to texting her what he dubbed 'Henry's Greatest Hits' which always brightened up her day. The constant texts from the trio helped Mia to feel connected to her family even if they were separated at the moment.
"So when are we headed to the Man Cave?" sang Amelia as she got comfortable on the window seat in the Trio's room.
"We planned to hang out here for a bit before heading over to Junk and Stuff after dinner" explained Jasper through song. "This way we can make sure your disguise is perfect and that we hide you from Ray for as long as possible".
"Sounds great! So catch me up, clearly Henry still sucks at lying. Which you would think he would have improved after having a secret identity for years"
"I know, right? On the plus side we always know what he's getting us for Christmas" laughed Jasper.
"We've mostly been working on school and the necessary steps to establish our new superhero identities" sang Charlotte softly, lying her head on Jasper's shoulder.
"I think we should get Team Danger Twitflash accounts even though Rick Twittler is going to be evil in a couple months. That way we can connect with our fans" suggested Jasper.
"Nice! Twitflash is huge with the kids at Hiddenville High. Max and the guys use it to promote their band gigs".
"Fine. We can revisit this point in a couple months when we get closer to launching Team Danger" sighed Charlotte.
Henry's arrival cut off any other discussion. "Well hopefully that should put any of his protests to rest for the day. How on earth I was able to get away with skipping all of senior year last time around I will never know" he whined moving to lay across Jasper and Charlotte's laps.
"You spent most of your time in the Man Cave with Ray. It's really not too far of a stretch to assume that you had been at school the whole time" laughed Charlotte running her fingers through his hair.
"Speaking of Ray, what items did you bring for your disguise Mia?" questioned Jasper.
Amelia tore her eyes away from the adorable scene of the trio cuddled up on the bed. Digging through her backpack she pulled out her temporary uniform items.
"I'm planning to wear black leggings, this sparkly black skirt I found, my black leather jacket and my new wig" Mia explained. The wig was a beautiful purple and pink ombre which she had styled into an intricate updo for the battle.
"Looks good, but what if we got you a Team Captain Man jacket instead. That way we can play up your connection to us. Plus, establishing you as a part of our team will help when we break off in a couple months. That way people won't be too shocked by your membership on Team Danger" offered Jasper.
"That sounds great in theory but…"
"Oh no… But what M?"
"I kinda let it slip that I was coming here to the Thunder twins and the band".
"Huh… so should we introduce you as someone else? Or just not disguise you?" pondered Henry.
"We didn't disguise Piper last time" Charlotte pointed out.
"We only did that since she was well known to be the president of the Man Fans. If we just show up with some random girl who lives in Hiddenville people will start asking questions" explained Henry.
"All we need is a cover story then. We could say that Henry saved her as Kid Danger, so he reached out to her for help with Frankini".
"I mean, it's not even a lie, as long as you don't factor in time travel" smirked Amelia. After all, it was Henry and Team Danger who had saved her from the mob in Dystopia.
"Awesome, now I don't know about you, but I'm starving. How about we go to Nacho Ball for lunch" sang Char.
"The nice one or the close one?" asked Jasper
"The nice one of course. NO one goes to the close one unless they have to"
"Yeah, Ray and I stopped Jeff from robbing it last week and it was so trashy" added Henry.
"Well I'm always in the mood for nachos" sang Amelia happily. The group quickly snuck out the window and headed to Nacho Ball.
*A New Hero - A New Hero - A New Hero*
A few hours later Amelia, Charlotte and Jasper arrived at Junk and Stuff where Henry was waiting for them. He had been called away by a frantic Schwoz halfway through lunch to fetch Ray who had runaway to Neighborville.
"So this is Junk and Stuff" remarked Amelia as she looked around the crowded shop.
"Yup! But the real fun happens downstairs" smiled Henry as he led the trio through the shop. "Jasp are you planning to come down now or work for bit?".
"I should probably chill up here for a bit and do the receipts since I'll be down in the cave when you guys actually start the fight".
"Sounds good. We'll see you later then" promised Charlotte pressing a kiss to his temple before joining Amelia and Henry by the elevator.
Stepping inside Amelia was directed to grab onto the handles of the elevator. Flashing back to the trio's stories about falling at the speed of sound, Mia made sure to hold on tight. Unfortunately, no amount of stories could have prepared her for the sudden drop of the elevator starting. A startled scream was ripped unconsciously from her throat.
The elevator settled with a crash and Mia went flying into the waiting arms of Charlotte and Henry who had been able to stand normally and hold a conversation while they plummeted to their deaths.
"What the HELL!" she gasped, trying to get her breath back
"Yeah, we really should see if Schwoz can fix the elevator. According to Ray, it used to work well until they had a falling out years ago. Apparently Schwoz screwed with the elevator as one last F-you to Ray before disappearing".
"But hasn't he been back for like 3 years?"
"Yup. I think Ray just got used to it, so they never changed it back…" shrugged Henry.
"Henry is that you?" came a loud voice from inside the Man Cave.
"What's up big dog?" responded Henry bouncing into the room.
"Big Dog?" mouthed an incredulous Amelia as she followed the silently laughing Charlotte.
"Are you ready to go song-punch Frankini, Kid Danger" sang a worked-up man who Mia determined to be Ray.
"You bet! Especially since we now have our secret weapon" cheered Henry as he directed the man's attention to Amelia.
"Who's this supposed to be?" greeted the man gruffly.
"This is Amelia, you know, the superhero friend I mentioned. She's here to help in the battle".
"Fine… whatever. You need to pop a bubble so we can get Swellview out of trouble".
"Oh god the rhymes" groaned Charlotte handing Mia a red, silver and blue Team Man jacket.
"You know you love them" teased Henry popping a gum ball.
"Yeah, yeah. Go have fun. Be careful and all that jazz. Make sure to bring Mia back in one piece" she ordered pushing Mia in the direction of the two masked heroes.
"Stop worrying Char. We'll be back before you know it. Have fun with your boyfriend" winked Henry before calling out "Up the tube".
Amelia laughed quietly seeing the fond look Charlotte adopted as he walked away. Her friends were so in love it was crazy. Fred, Sophia and her, had all sworn to let the trio work out their relationship by themselves, but being sent back years in the past without back up, well Mia was thankful she was living in Hiddenville away from the drama. Hopefully the trio will have worked things out by the time they join her in Hiddenville.
Taking her place on the tube pad Amelia waved to her friend happily singing "Up the tube!". With a woosh of air Mia was lifted up and disappeared into the tunnel system below Swellview.
