Futuristic Four: Fast Forward

What Could Happen?

Location: Robinson Household, Todayland

So they had to prepare for another guest. No big deal. Except Franny was already annoyed that the four of them were late and another two family members had to leave. Cornelius, she didn't know why, but he left at the same moment they heard about the out of control train. Billie was suppose to have a day off, but of course she had to be brought in for her expertise in the system. After all, she helped Cornelius design the thing. Her son and now nephew, along with their other two friends had to be called in to stop the situation. She was down six sets of helping hands.

"Fran, you need to relax." Tallulah assured. "We saw on the news everything turned out fine and Wilbur did say they were on their way."

While they did have a large family, most of the older members were starting to get to that age where most would see them as fragile. They did help out where they could. Lucille could still make mean cookies. Which she was currently working on. Bud was helping his wife out best he could.
Since the party was for her brother and sister-in-law, she insisted they didn't help. What good is throwing a party when the guest of honour are helping out?
Which left her with the only people in the household. Art, Tallulah, Laszlo, Lefty and C.A.R.L. They were help enough, But the other four were suppose to be in charge of getting the food over and she could really use her son's unique skills with the power. Hey, it saves money.

"Of all days!" Franny threw her hands up in the air and headed to the music room, where Frankie and the band were rehearsing.

Life of a superhero.

She remembered during the golden ages, when she and her brothers were a team. Back then they had been known as Triple Threat. While the superhero lawsuits had been the main reason she had to stop heroic duties of the super kind, another reason had been to start a family. At the time, she and Cornelius had already been married for a few years. While he was ready for children not long after their marriage, she was still in her prime. The point when she realised she wanted to be a mother was when she crossed paths with a young child while saving the day.

FLASHBACK
Location: Jackson Concert Hall,San Fransokyo
22 Years Ago

Franny had been invited to San Fransokyo to show her singing frogs. There had been a time when people thought she was crazy, but with encouragement from her husband and many of their family members, she managed to pursue her dream. It was a difficult road, with being a super and getting the frogs to speak. Good thing she had the ability to communicate with animals. It helped more than you'd think. Today her name was going around. Maybe the fact that she was married to the head of one of the world's leading companies. Cornelius had grown quite a name for himself. Since many knew her as his wife, it only made her more determined to make her own name in her own business.

Currently, the woman was taking a break. The performance wasn't for another few hours and she and her frogs had been rehearsing since they arrived. They all needed a breather and San Fransokyo was a lovely city. An interesting mix of past, present and future and also mixing different cultures. While Todayland was all high tech and named the city of the future, San Fransokyo gave something in between.

She should be heading back now. The show was packed and everything had to be perfect. Not that Franny didn't doubt her frogs. But she tended to worry more than she should about these things. The woman began making her way back to the concert hall, when suddenly an alarm nearby was set off. She turned her head in the direction of the alarm and found a bank and a woman exiting. She wore a black tank top that exposed her chest and had matching black tights. She also had green snake tattoos over her arms and chest and sported a pair of skates. Wouldn't take a genius to figure out the villain was Rollergrrl.
