You weren't sure about everything that just happened...

Not even bothering to listen to the news or President speaking at all, the heroics and Marcus were captured by aliens who were going to take over the planet.

The television switched from static to showing Granada. "Miss Y/N, for you and the children's safety, we're going into full lockdown. As long as you stay where you are, you are safe..." flashing a small smile reassuringly as the screen went black.

You remained in your seat, processing everything. Then alarms went off around the place as you stood up and race to the door. Trying to open it but to avail, it wouldn't budge. 

Then, it was opened to your confusion. An even bigger shock was to see Missy and her friends there. The blonde kid in a wheelchair called out. "C'mon, let's go!"

You weren't surprised if it was one of Moreno's friends that suggested bringing you along, considering she did not care about you whatsoever. Without wasting any time, you followed their planned escape route to try and rescue the heroics, including Marcus.

————————————————

Okay so long story short, you managed to escape the Heroics Headquarters with the kids. In a flying cable car thanks to A Capella. Then crash landing near a grand mansion with a mini gazebo, thankfully not destroying it in the process.

"My begonias! Get out of my flower bed, you little termites!" An upset elderly Latina woman came out with her black, wooden cane.

Missy got up with a huff of breath, holding her back and flashing a small smile. "Hi, Abuelita!"

"Ah! Ah, Missy! Come and say hello to your grandma!" She held her arms out as the young girl gave her a soft bear hug. You follow the kids as they were in awe at the sight of Anita. 

Her friends were in awe and shock, however, Y/N was already familiar with the mother of her partner. But unlike her relationship with Missy, Mother Moreno grew fond of her and welcomed the woman her son discovered and fell head over heels for.

"Missy, your grandmother's Anita Moreno?" Noodles gasped as he glanced at his A Capella. Who was also sharing the same look of amazement, Rewind smiling widely. "The trainer of the Heroics?"

"She's a legend." Wheels grinned excitedly as he was beside the Latina woman. Who laughed softly, waving her hand. "No, you have to be dead to be a legend, honey." She corrected as her eyes saw you, her face beaming, and held her arms out happily. "Y/N, mi carina!"

You giggle and walk over to wrap your arms around her. "Hi, Mrs. Moreno." this makes her scoff and pull back to stare at you with a disapproving look, "Oy, what have I told you about calling me that? Anita is fine!" a low chuckle left your lips with a nod as Missy walked over and she turned to her granddaughter, pulling her into a side hug. "Oh, mi amor. I'm alive and well, which is more than I can say for my gazebo, hmm?" 

You and Missy cringe a bit with the others feeling guilty. "Sorry. We're in trouble, Grandma, and we need a place to hide." Miss Moreno explained with her hands together, Anita eying them all in confusion. "To hide? You're gonna need to do a lot more than that. That thing is moving into position."

"We only have two hours left. Won't be long until the takeover begins." Wheels looked at the device attached to his wheelchair.

"This is crazy, we're just children." Fast Forward shook her head.

"The children of the Heroics." You reminded with a finger up. Anita smiled softly as she looked at all the kids positively. "Yes, and if anyone is gonna save the world, it's you, because all of you have superpowers."

"Super lame powers." Wild Card muttered lowly with a huff of breath.

"Speak for yourself." Wheels groaned.

"Okay, Johnny Random." The boy rolled his eyes

You folded your arms. "Hey, like name-calling and making fun of each other is gonna help. This isn't going to get you guys anywhere..." the kids stop and went silent as Anita nodded at your words. "Exactly. This is no way to be a super team."

"Y/N and Abuelita's right. Aliens are about to invade, and if we want to rescue our parents and save the planet, we're gonna need to do it now." Missy joined in to speak up as her friends stared at her in doubt and hesitance.

"Are you saying that... we can be superheroes?"

Young Moreno shrugged with a small smile. "Well, yeah. I guess that kinda is what I'm saying."Missy turned to her Abuela. "Grandma, I've been trying to do that my whole life, so if you have any ideas, I'm all ears."

"Um, it's not about who is the strongest or fastest. It's about working together, and that's why we'll need someone to be the leader." Anita explained to the kids, Wild Card smirked and stood up confidently, and chuckled lowly. "That would be me."

"I was actually talking about Missy, but thank you." All eyes were on young Moreno, Wild Card's face fell as he glared at Missy. Who looked up in shock and confusion, not liking the idea of her leading. Her Abuela got up and waved her hand to gesture to them. "Follow me!"

Wild Card sprinting after standing there in "But I'm the leader!"

"He's right. I'm totally okay with that." Missy added in agreement with Wild Card.

"Well, I'm not. And we don't have time to argue. So, what I say goes."

"Yes, ma'am..." Wild Card sighed and eyed Missy, who avoided eye contact with him and stared at her shoes.

They all were in the backyard where equipment, sparring mat, and obstacle courses lay on the green grass. "Welcome to my training ground... Let's boogie." Anita declared with an intimidating look as Missy was nervous and you were rooting for the kids, even helping when they needed it or if necessary.

————————————————

"Now, now. You didn't expect to get it on the first try, did you?"

Missy sat down on a stone bench releasing a heavy breath."I'm never gonna get it. Not with a million tries... and you know why? Because I'm useless."

Anita's eyebrow rose with a frown. "Who told you that?"

Missy sighed lowly. "Everyone told me. In those exact words."

Anita paused before speaking up. "Y'know, I have trained all of the greatest superheroes, Miracle Guy, Sharkboy, Tech-No, Lavagirl... But do you know who the greatest superhero of them all was?" The young girl looks up at her Abuelita. "It was your mother."

Missy shook her head in confusion and disbelief. "But my mother was normal, like me."

"Exactly..." she smiled as her arm wrapped around the young leader in training. "And without your mother, your father would not become someone who leads by example..."

"And you will too... I'm sure of it. Mi amor, I'm sure of it." Anita reassured softly and placed a kiss on her head.

Missy's brown eyes glance around the garden until landing on you helping the others while she was here with Abuelita, watching as her friends began to improve a bit.

"Qué te pasa, hija?" Anita noticed the conflict within her granddaughter.

The young Moreno wasn't sure what she was feeling, still not liking the thought of her father with another woman. But ever since he got captured, Missy kept hearing the words he told her earlier and hours before the incident. "I wouldn't choose her, not without you approving, sweetie... But please, just give Y/N a chance... For me Missy?"

A sigh left her lips. "I don't know, Abuelita... It's just, there's someone I know that I don't really like but..."

She had to admit that you weren't that bad as a person after the hours you'd been with them all. From escaping the Heroics H.Q. to being here, assisting, and joining their rescue mission. It took major guts for anyone to just help a bunch of kids with superpowers. Not to mention how much of a pain she was when you were so kind and never took her behavior the hard way, guilt hitting her right in the face.

"I see..." rubbing her hand gently on Missy's shoulder in understanding. "I know how you feel... When your father introduced me to Miss L/N, I would be lying by saying I already loved her the moment she stepped foot into my property." A soft laugh left her nieta's lips.

"But as time went by and I got to know her, I understood why he liked her so much..." The frown returned to her lips as she looks back to the training area and found you helping her friends. She saw how they were improving thanks to you. "And I'm sure you can see it too."

She was about to speak up when "Missy, Miss Moreno! Better come quick!"

Anita pursed her lips together. "They sure found you fast."

"They wanna take us back to headquarters." Wheels finished as they were gathered.

"Well, too bad. We've got a world to save." Missy smirked as they hurried to a hidden escape route. "Go, go, go, go. Go!" Young Moreno instructed as the kids ran into the cave opening. You kept a close eye on the surroundings in case the enemies were nearby.

"I wish you could come with us." Missy frowned sadly as Anita smiled sadly. "Hug me, as if it's for the last time." The young Latina didn't hesitate to embrace her tightly and reassured her. "Hey, it won't be. I promise." Abuela smiled with pride at her. "That's my girl."

You stood there and glanced between the two, then onto the cave opening. "Missy, I'll stay with Anita. It will give you kids more time."

 It looked like the young girl was hesitant over the idea but nods at you, she had to repay you big-time and thanks after they rescue her father and the heroics. You stand next to Anita after closing the cave opening to prevent them from tracking the kids down, "You didn't have to stay with me, Y/N. I may be old but I still have kicks in me."

"I know... But you can't leave family or anyone behind. "

Anita couldn't help but laugh with a shake of her head. "Marcus would've done the same... He's really influenced you." Earning a low chuckle from you knowing that she was right, but you already knew the importance of family.

"Oh my... Visitors! Want some lemonade?" Anita offered with a kind smile, calmly staring up at the extraterrestrial beings.

"No?" She asked as they remained silent. A frown replaced her once friendly attitude. "Fine." Then a metallic arm stretched out and she was gone.

You were about to help Anita when something knocked you down from behind, hitting the ground harshly. To your surprise, it was Granada with some agents from the Heroics. What?

"I'm terribly sorry for doing this."

A look of horror on your face in realizing that she was an alien. Tentacles wrapped around you and held you up, feeling a cloth cover your mouth, frantically moving around in wanting to warn Missy and the kids but felt the pull of sleep...
