Futuristic Four: Fast Forward

The Future Has Arrived

Location: Todayland

A second ago he was running into a burning building to save his mentor and anyone else who may have been trapped, but as soon as the building exploded, he found himself being pulled into a device that had accidentally activated.There was nothing to hold onto and so he was pulled in. Last he saw of the building was the blast. Inside the portal, images flashed, images containing his past,family, friends and even images he'd never seen before, but the people in them were both familiar and unfamiliar.

"This is all your fault! I wish you had never come back!" His brother's voice yelled.It sounded older and the image he caught of him looked older and aside from angry, completely hurt. He wanted to comfort him, but when he reached out he was once again being pulled away, or it felt like that giving the illusion he was seeing. He couldn't be pulled away from his brother, he tried grabbing onto one of the images, suddenly causing everything to stop. The image stretched and then reformed. He soon found himself back on hard ground. Before he could pass out, he saw a girl coming towards him with a concerned look on her face.

Year: 2045

Five years since the events at S.B Williams Hall had passed. They had long graduated and were now official supers. Upon graduation, they were assigned to operate in Todayland. Metroville had the rest of the Incredibles clan and the Big Hero team, despite not being supers, had been assigned San Fransokyo. The NSA did provide them with some training and they even worked to help better their technology for field work. As for Silverlake, it was a small town and not much happened there often. None of the Futuristic Four had a problem with Todayland. After all, Hiro was given a chance to work with Cornelius Robinson at Robinson Industries, mainly in the robotics department. The other three attended Todayland University. Violet taking up journalism, Wilbur taking up Engineering and Science and minoring with Business Management. Hey, heir to the Robinson legacy. Penny took up photography. The two girls apparently ran a blog called "Four Sight". The blog mainly centred around their super alter egos, but also brought up serious issues around Todayland. Such as the Inhuman equality movement. Inhumans were the names given to the half-human, half-alien offspring. There were people who frowned upon that. As if the Super related movements weren't enough. But that was just the way it goes. Their blog was a hit though. Violet was the one who wrote the stories and Penny took the photos, sometimes it might be the other way around depending on the situation.

Another thing that came after graduation was their families surprise of providing them a new place to live in. It was a one storey house, but below they did have their secret base for super missions. Everyone in their family had helped out best they could and when they were finally allowed to move in, the four just chose their rooms and decorated it how they liked.

"Not again!" Wilbur's voice was heard throughout the house. He came out of his room, wearing nothing but a towel over his waist and still a bit wet in some places. Even his hair hadn't been styled in his infamous cowlick. Wilbur was holding one of his shirts in one hand and went to the living room where Penny was busy surfing through channels. She turned around when she heard her boyfriend coming.

"Could you please tell your dog to stop leaving his hair all over my clothes."

"Aww..." Penny stuck her lip out. "It just means Bolty likes you." she told him. "Right, Bolty." she turned to the young pup beside her. This wasn't the original Bolt she owned years ago, but rather one of her dog's pups. Bolt had gotten old end eventually moved on. While the dog before her could never replace the real thing, she liked to think it was Bolt's way of living a piece of himself behind. So here was Bolt Jr.
