Ben's team ^

Ben was sat on his bed on Tracy Island it had been a week now since he arrived and in that time he had learnt about his 13 cousins, uncle, aunt and more about his parents, his grandparents had come over to tried to kill him, they'd hurt his closest cousin, damaged the necklace that she wore, been arrested by the GDF and removed from the island and were awaiting trial. Now he was just chilling while trying to plan the route his team were planning to take to scale Everest when his phone went. He looked at the name Anne? Theo's younger sister, if he was honest he had a bit of a crush on her but he wouldn't tell! "Hey, Anne, what's up?" He answered, "it's Theo and the rest of the team I can't get in contact with them!" She told him so quick he could hardly understand it "Woh, woh, woh, slow down! What's happened are they ok?" He asked they were climbing Snowden this weekend for training, but he said he'd have to miss it due to a family reunion, he didn't tell them all the details just the basics. "Theo, Jack, Alex, Cameron and Eliza, I can't contact them!" She said slightly slower than the fist time but still fast due to worry for her brother, boyfriend and best friend. "Ok I'll see what I can do but I'm two hours away, even if I left now when I get there they'll be dead!" He told them "mounting rescue?" He asked desperate for a solution. "Already tried, no one even picked up the phone!" She replied. Then alarms all around the island started going off and he had to hang up to keep it secret! "What's the situation Thunderbird 5?" Scott asked as the others ran in "bad winds & a young climbing team=teens in trouble Ali said Jackie could be heard talking in Russian not far in the background and John could be heard doing the same but in French. "My team!" Ben said running in. "What's 'your team' got to do with this!" Ali asked looking at Ben "I just had a call from a friend, she can't contact her brother and she's really worried about him because him and a few of our team were on a climbing week away, but I haven't gone as you can see but we're training for Everest!" He quickly explained "your planning to climb Everest to?" Sophie asked "yeah have been for a while!" He replied "cool, how's your team?" Sophie asked but Ben didn't get to reply because someone cleared their throat "sorry to cut this wonderful conversation short but we've got a rescue to deal with!" Jeff said giving his second youngest daughter an apologetic look. "Well in that case we'll need our mountain rescue specialist on the scene!" Ali said to Sophie "yes! And Ben as they're your team wanna come?" She asked "sure!" He replied just before Scott could butt in! "No, and he doesn't even have a suit!" Scott told the teens "we're the same height! So he could borrow my spare?" Adam said "you'd let me?" Ben asked wide eyed. "Just until you get your own!" Adam teased. "Wow thanks!" Ben replied "ok then get down to Thunderbird Mimic!" Jeff said "on my way!" Sophie replied "er not trying to be rude uncle Jeff, but which one is Mimic?" He asked "the purple quad bike!" Jeff replied "ok thanks!" Ben said as Adam chucked him a spare suit "get changed then come back hear and I'll show you to TBM!" Adam said gesturing to the bathroom "ok thanks!" Ben said and shut the door 'he's wicked cool!' Adam thought to himself "you don't want him to steel Sophie do you?" Jackie asked him in hologram form. "I have no idea what your talking about!" Adam told him and hung up the phone. Just as the door unlocked and opened. It was almost a perfect fit! It was a little baggy around the upper arms and the boots were way to big but other than that it was perfect! "Mimic is this way!" Adam told him grabbing his hand and pulling him along. when they reached TBM, Sophie had already started the engine and it was so loud they used hand gestures as they would struggle with speaking and lip reading through a helmet would be hard. Adam nodded his head then pushed Ben towards the quad bike, then tossed him a helmet and gave him the thumbs up! Ben smiled then put on the helmet and returned the gesture with a smile. "Top tip: hold on!" Sophie told him through the coms as TBM slowly dropped through the floor and turned to the right until it faced the underground runway "to what?" He asked looking for something to hold onto "you'll see!" She replied smugly "5...4...3..2..1..." TBM's tyres spun and they sped off down the runway Ben clung onto Sophie for dear life! A hatch opened in the rock face and reviled a tunnel that TBM sped out of and then the tyres rotated so that they could fly! "Ok this is officially the coolest Thunderbird!" Ben said which revived a fair bit of 'no mine is better' and 'yeah whatever' from the Tracy's "awwww are you lot jealous?" Sophie teased "don't brag sis!" Alan told her "yeah, Soph, no one likes a show of!" Adam told her "you pair are just jealous!" She replied "right stop arguing! And focus on the rescue!" Jeff said butting in and splitting up the argument!
