Prologue

Our story begins at the house of a 10-year-old girl, who was currently in a fight with her sister.

"I told you, Tina! I didn't take your stupid hairbrush!" the girl, named Tessa Twain, shouted.

"Yeah, right! I know you couldn't find yours, so you took mine!" Tina shouted.

"You know, sometimes I wish I was a Super, just so I could kick your butt a little!" Tessa shouted.

"So that's what's eating you! I've seen the way you comb your hair! You try to look like one of the Supers you're a fan of! Well, at your age, it's pathetic!" Tina yelled.

Tessa looked like she was going to cry before she ran out of the house, Tina chasing after her.

A while later, at their parents' work at the NSA HQ, Mr. and Mrs. Twain were introducing a new invention.

"So, you see, if we use this cloning machine, we might just be able to revolutionize the age of Supers." Mrs. Twain said.

"We get where you're coming from, but if they clone and the clone reveals their identities, we could have major problems." Rick said before everyone heard something that sounded like scuffling. They looked out the glass door as it slid open automatically and in came Tessa and Tina, fighting.

"TAKE BACK WHAT YOU SAID!" Tessa yelled.

"WHY SHOULD I?!" Tina yelled back.

"Children!" Mrs. Twain said as she and their father tried to stop them from fighting, only for Tina to punch Tessa into the cloning machine, which ended up closing before it activated, glowing a brilliant light blue and starting to sparkle and shake.

"Everyone, get down!" Mr. Twain called, prompting everyone to duck before the machine blew, blowing out all the lights in the building and shorting out the power. Everyone looked at the machine and saw it fried, but Tessa was unarmed and dizzy.

"Tessa! Are you okay?!" Mrs. Twain asked as she and Mr. Twain, as well as Tina, ran over.

"Yeah, I think so." Tessa said before she felt something strange under her arms. She looked down on her sides and gasped loudly. SHE HAD TWO EXTRA ARMS!

"What the?!" she asked before she realized her voice sounded like it echoed. She looked beside her and saw...HERSELF?!

"DOUBLE WHAT THE HECK?!" the two Tessas said before they both tilted their heads and moved their four arms the same way. Everyone watched as they mirrored each other's movements with fascination.

"How did this happen, Mark?" Mrs. Twain asked.

"I have no clue, Savannah. However, it is possible that when Tessa was pushed into the machine and it activated, most likely due to the machine being incomplete, the energy that sparks the cloning process may have become infused with her due to its excessive amount being unleashed in that instant." Mr. Twain answered.

"So, what does that mean?" Tina asked.

"It means that Tessa has gained a power; the ability to clone herself or different areas of herself, hence the second Tessa and two extra arms." Mrs. Twain answered.

The two Tessas listened to this before they looked at each other and high-fived, "Awesome!" they, or she, said.

Over the course of the next several years, Tessa worked hard to learn how to use her powers and keep them under control. She learned how to multiply herself more, grow more body parts, and even extra heads. Not only that, but her having a power made her relationship with her sister more competitive, especially because she kept secretly using her powers to win the contests they always had. Her powers also influenced her personality. She started to grow a fascination with things that came in pairs, such as earbuds, shoes, shirts, and much more. She also developed a favor for Double Stuf Oreos and two scoop ice cream. Eventually, at the age of 19, Tessa moved into her own apartment and wondered how things would go from there.

One day, she found her answer. She saw a gang of things around a short woman and they looked ready to attack. Tessa looked to make sure no one was looking before she made two duplicates of herself and had one spawn extra eyes and the other extra arms while she herself grew extra legs. She then motioned for the clones to move and they followed her lead. They went up behind the thugs and simultaneously said, "Hey!"

The thugs looked behind them and their eyes widened at seeing the three of them, especially the multiple eyes, arms, and legs.

"Leave her alone!" they said. The thugs screamed like little girls before the three Tessas knocked them unconscious.

"Are you okay?" Tessa asked as she returned to normal and her clones disappeared. She helped the woman up. The woman was short but was wearing fashionable clothes and big round glasses.

"Why, yes, exceptional, dahling. You have my thanks. Pardon me for asking, but, are you a Super?' the woman asked.

"Well, I suppose, but I'm not really a public hero." Tessa said.

"Oh, pish-posh, dahling, anyone can be a public hero." the woman said before she guided her to a waiting limo that took them back to a mansion.

"My word, dahling, how rude of me. I forgot to introduce myself. I am Edna Mode." the woman said.

Tessa gasped, "The famous fashion designer?! What an honor!" she said.

"Thank you, dahling. Now, show me your abilities. I think I might just be able to make a suit for you." Edna said.

"Okay!" Tessa said before she showed her abilities to grow body parts and create clones.

"Fascinating." Edna said.

The next day...

The bank had just gotten held up and the robbers were driving away. They drove past a blonde-haired woman wearing a strange suit before they turned down a road and immediately stopped at seeing about 10 of her. The woman was wearing a suit that was black and had various multiplication and addition problems on it with blue gloves and she was wearing a blue mask with a plus sign between the eyes.

"Where do you think you're going?" they asked before they all multiplied into about 30 and dogpiled the robbers before three of them grabbed the crooks by the feet and formed chains that went up into the air before slamming the robbers into the street, knocking them unconscious. The clones then vanished, leaving only the original.

The police arrived and thanked her, with one asking, "What do we call you, Super?"

The woman thought before she smiled, "Call me Miss Multiple." she said.

From that first day, Miss Multiple worked hard to make herself known as a hero. She enjoyed the battles, but she started to wish she had a rival. Then, one day, she got her wish. She had just finished a load of crimes one day when she heard someone behind her as she tied up some crooks.

"You know, I might just have to retire if you keep doing my job for me." said a female voice. Miss Multiple turned around and saw a woman with long red hair in a flip wearing a suit that was white with red gloves and boots, as well as a red mask. It had a circle in the middle of the suit that looked like a capital E curving to make a capital G.

"Who are you?" Miss Multiple asked.

"Elastigirl. You must be Miss Multiple." the woman answered.

"That's right. I've heard about you on the news." Miss Multiple said as they shook hands.

"I've heard about you, too. That armed robbery you stopped was pretty impressive. Course, I'm not one to boast, but I like to think I handled one better." Elastigirl said.

"Well, I bet you haven't stopped a hold-up like I have." Miss Multiple said.

"Sure, I can't multiply myself, but I can stretch my arms enough to trip whole getaway cars and enlarge my fists enough to smash an engine." Elastigirl said.

"Well, I bet you can't do this!" Miss Multiple said as she multiplied her muscles, making herself more muscular.

"That's far too easy!" Elastigirl said as she used her powers to expand her own muscles, making them much bigger.

"You're on!" Miss Multiple said before she made muscles even bigger, Elastigirl doing the same. This went on for a while, with them even finding heavy objects to lift. They were about evenly matched when they stopped and returned to normal.

"All right, I'll admit it, you're pretty good." Miss Multiple said.

"You're not bad yourself." Elastigirl said.

"Well, you just wait. I'll be just as good as you." Miss Multiple said.

"I look forward to that." Elastigirl said.

From that day onward, Miss Multiple and Elastigirl made their rivalry known in contests of powers, abilities, and crime-fighting. Miss Multiple thought she had it made.

Until, one day after she attended the wedding of her friends, Bob and Helen, Tessa heard on the news that in a stunning turn of events, Mr. Incredible was sure for saving someone who apparently DIDN'T WANT to be saved. As if that wasn't enough, five days later, another suit was filed by the victims of the L-Train accident. Incredible's court losses cost the government millions, and opened the floodgates for dozens of other superhero-related lawsuits the world over.

"It is time for their secret identity to become their only identity. Time for them to join us or go away!" said a female politician.

Under tremendous public pressure and the crushing financial burden of an ever mounting series of lawsuits, the government quietly initiated the Superhero Relocation Program. The Supers would be granted amnesty from responsibility for past actions, in exchange for the promise to never again resume hero work.

On the day Supers were saying goodbye to the public, Miss Multiple walked up to Elastigirl and said, "Well, looks like this is the last time we meet."

"Sure does." Elastigirl said.

"You know, you may have been my rival, but I have high respect for you." Miss Multiple said before the two of them shook hands.

"Same here." Elastigirl said with a sad smile before they went to bid more Supers farewell.

This, for the Supers, was the beginning of a dark age…

Some years later, Tessa sat in her apartment, having just gotten back from a difficult day at Little Caesars. She was upset about being forced into retirement, but she was always brought joy by the idea of being able to settle down a bit and maybe raise a family. Suddenly, she felt something in her bag she knew wasn't in there before. She dug it out and found a yellow envelope. She dug in it and found what looked like an iPad. It scanned her and the room around her before a voice said, "Match, Miss Multiple. Room is secure, Commence message."

Then, a woman with white hair in a blue dress showed up on the screen, "Hello, Miss Multiple. Yes, we know who you are. Rest assured, your secret is safe with us. My name is Mirage. We have something in common. According to the government, neither of us exist. Please pay attention, as this message is classified and will not be repeated. I represent a top secret division of the government, designing and testing experimental technology, and we have need of your unique abilities. Something has happened at our testing facility. One of our experimental robots has gotten loose and escaped into the jungle. Worse, as it has lost control and it is contained within an isolated area, it threatens to cause incalculable damage to itself and to our facilities, jeopardizing hundreds of millions of dollars worth of equipment and resources. Because of its highly sensitive nature, we have been unable to reign it in ourselves and would like for you to aid us. If you accept, your payment will be triple your current annual salary. Call the number on the card. Voice-matching will be used to ensure security. The Supers aren't gone, Miss Multiple. You're still here. You can still do great things. You have 24 hours to respond. Think about it." the woman said before the screen cut off and a card came out from the bottom. Tessa looked at it and saw it said, "MIRAGE. (866) 787-7476."

It took Tessa a few hours to consider it, but eventually, she called the number.

"This is Miss Multiple. I'm in."

Some time later, Miss Multiple landed on Nomanisan Island and ventured through the jungle a while before she heard something rumbling. She looked around cautiously before she heard it getting closer. Eventually, she was surprised by a giant robot that walked on six legs that ended in four jointed claws coming from a central orb-shaped body. Miss Multiple barely dodged using her clones to throw her before the robot slammed its claw down. The robot followed her with its tracking ability before it withdrew its legs and rolled after in an Indiana Jones style boulder chase. Miss Multiple decided to see if multiplying her leg muscles could help her run faster, so she did just that and picked up enough speed to evade the giant robot and jumped in a nearby lake. The robot stopped before it scanned the lake and distinguished her heat signal. Miss Multiple quickly swam away before the robot launched its claw into the lake. She ran again and hid behind a tree.

"I can't fight this thing and win! If I want a family, I better run!" Miss Multiple said before she multiplied her leg muscles and ran to the ocean, where she dove in and swam all the way back to the mainland, thankfully near her apartment.

"I hate to run from a fight, but she who runs away lives to fight another day." Tessa said as she sat on her couch.

In the span of a few months, Tessa started to date Brad, someone she had known back in her younger years and the two eventually married. Even better, in the months following, they managed to find a house and Tessa landed a job as a math teacher before she had to take a break for a while, as she found out she was going to be a mother. Nine months later, she gave birth to two twins, one a boy and the other a girl. She named them JJ and Jojo. Despite her sister's competitive nature, she loved her nephew and niece with all her heart. Speaking of her sister, she gave birth to her own son about a month later, naming him Adam.

"Hey, Adam!" Tessa cooed as she wiggled her finger at him.

"Hey, Tess, what say we make this rival a little more friendly if we can? Think you can be a better Mom and cooler aunt than me?" Tina asked.

"You're on!" Tessa said.

Over the course of the next few years, Tessa spent her time as a loving mother and awesome aunt. But, the second greatest joy of her life came when The Incredibles made Supers legal again. She wondered then what adventures lie ahead.
