A Family Affair
The Parr family was your average,peaceful, and suburbanite family; when one looked at them it seemed obvious that there could be nothing different at all about them. Although if one looked more closely they would be stricken with a sense of déjà vu, almost as if they have seen them somewhere before, it may be hard to swallow but this sweet suburbanite family is also a family of superheroes.
“Mom!! Violet is using her powers inside the house again…”
“You started it, using your super speed to send wave after wave of jabs onto my arm.”
Trying to calm the two children,Helen Parr used her elasticity to remove the children from trying to kill each other. “What have I told you two about fighting inside the house?”
“Don’t do it?”
“Don’t get smart with me Dash, you are not yet big enough that I can’t give you a spanking.”
Visibly paling, Dash hurried to his seat and started on his dinner. “Thanks mom, he was getting on my nerves.”
“I am not through with you missy,you should know better than to fight with your brother. You know how he is, now what started the fight?”
“Nothing mom, nothing.” Although her daughter spoke like there was nothing the matter, Helen could see that there was a world of hurt in her eyes. “What is wrong honey? You can tell me can’t you?”
“Mom, nothing is wrong…please can we just eat dinner?”
Deciding to let the matter lie,Helen called her husband to the table for dinner, “Bob, dinner is ready, Bob?”
“Coming…just got to get some little things done.” What Bob Parr was trying to do, was make a gift for his daughter,it had to be perfect. ‘I know she will love this…now if I only knew what this was?’
“Bob?”
“Coming honey!!”
Deciding that he could finish it after dinner, Bob headed upstairs for dinner. “What took you so long honey?”
“Oh I was just finishing something up for work, the food looks great honey.”
With a affectionate kiss on the lips, Bob started to plow into his food. “So how was your day kids?”
“Violet was drawing something in her notebook again, another boyfriend…..”
“Shut it squid, before I make you.”
“Enough, now what are you really drawing honey?”
“It’s nothing mom, just something for school.”
Not believing a word Violet was saying, Helen tried to deduce who exactly Violet could be drawing. ‘Maybe it was that boy who came over to take her out to a movie?’
“Dad? Want to toss around the old pigskin after dinner?”
“Sounds good sport, I hope you been practicing, I can throw it pretty far now.”
“Your on dad, whatever you throw I’ll catch.” The energetic youth was bouncing in his seat, almost bursting with anticipation to get out there and run.
“Honey, remember to make sure you don’t hurt your back. You know how the last time you threw so hard you ripped a disc.”
“Don’t worry honey, I’ll be fine. How bout you Violet? Want to come and play catch?”
“Don’t push her Bob, I mean you know she doesn’t like to play catch.”
“I’ll go, it sounds fun.”
“See what did I tell you honey, a little catch can’t hurt anyone.”
“Fine, but remember your back honey.” Watching as the 3 finished their dinners, Helen knew it was Bob’s turnto wash dishes. “I’ll finish the dishes and be out in a second kid’s.”
“You don’t have to Bob, I can do them.”
“Nah, I got them honey, it won’t be too long. Why don’t you kick back and relax in front of the tube.”
Understanding her husband’s behavior, Helen could not help but be amazed the incidents in the past had transformed her husband. ‘He used to be so distant, now he does almost everything in the house. I know he does it so he can spend time with us, but he may be working himself too hard.’
Watching her husband put the dishes in the dishwasher, Helen decided she would help him anyway. “I’ll dry and you wash, sound good?”
“Sounds great honey, thanks.”
Washing the dishes with her husband, Helen could not help but feel that she had a good life. ‘I have a good husband that loves me, three wonderful children, and we all do things together. What more can a woman ask for?’
Watching the man that she had married, Helen discovered that he continued his regime, meaning that he was fitter than ever. ‘It also isn’t bad that he looks like an Adonis, look at those arms, enough to wrap around me twice.’
“Honey? Dishes?”
Dismissing her thoughts, Helen took the dishes from her husband and started to make them sparkle. Helen soon felt a pair of eyes staring straight at her, looking up she discovered Bob just staring at her for seemingly no reason. “What something on my face?”
“No, it is just good to see your face.”
Blushing at his complement, Helen tried to regain her composure, “Aren’t you going to go out to the kid’s?”
“Sounds good, you alright here?”
“Yea, I’m good.”
Walking out of the kitchen, Bob wondered how he was so lucky, ‘I have a good wife, and three wonderful kids,all of us superheroes. I will not let anyone take them away from me again.’
Walking out into the front lawn,Bob saw to his amusement Violet encircling her little brother in an invisible force field. “That’s not how to play catch Violet, now let your brother go.”
Snapping out of her musings, Violet met the warm-hearted eyes of her father. ‘He doesn’t know, and I will keep it that way.’
Dropping her brother, Violet threw the football to her dad. “Go long sweetie, I’ll be quarterback you be receiver.”
Running all out, Violet looked back to gauge her father’s throw, and when she was sure she stopped. Bob chunked the ball a good 50 feet and watched as his daughter caught it effortlessly.‘Hmm…either she has been practicing or I have gotten worse, could be a little of both.’
“Good catch Violet, now throw it to your brother.”
Nodding her head, Violet aimed for her brother and threw a spiral, which Dash easily caught. “Good throw sis, for a girl.”
Racing towards his father, Dash hoped to stave off the heat from his outburst. “Hey Dad? Throw it far, and I mean really far.”
“Sounds good kiddo, here goes nothing.” Arching his arm as far as it would go, Bob threw the ball with all his might and sent it sailing as far away as the next town. But Bob wasn’t worried; he knew his son could catch it in a matter of minutes.
“Go for it tiger, and remember run as fast as you can.” Nodding his head, Dash started after the intrepid ball. While Violet watched her father and the amount of joy he received just playing around with his children. ‘He sure has changed, he is a lot more loving, I likeit.’
“Hey sweetie, how’s school?”
“It’s fine dad, nothing too big to worry about. A few tests and quizzes no big deal.”
“Sounds like world’s of fun, so…your birthday’s coming up. Anything you especially want?”
‘Something I don’t think you could give me daddy.’
“Nothing much daddy, maybe a few clothes and new CD player.”
“Ohh…okay…I’ll remember that. Here comes your brother now.”
Watching as the speck of dust soon formed into a mass of blond hair, Bob could not be prouder of his son. ‘Wow a new record, he could be the fastest man on the face of the earth.’
Jumping into his Dad’s arms, Dash cradled the football much like a little child. “Told you I could catch it dad.”
“Sure showed me sport. Well how bout we go inside and watch the new movie channel we got.”
Leaping with excitement, Dash jumped up from his Dad’s arms and ran as quick as he could inside the house.“He sure does have a lot of energy, doesn’t he daddy?”
“You could say that again, how bout it honey? Want to go inside?”
“Sounds fine, we can see the new movie “The Ring”, I heard it was really scary.”
“I don’t think your mother and brother will like that Violet, I mean it was scary enough watching the “Sixth Sense”, I don’t think they could take another one of those.”
Looking at her father, Violet knew that she couldn’t refuse him, for some odd reason it just didn’t feel right.“Alright daddy, but remember you owe me. Next time you watch it with me, alone!”
“Haha, sounds like fun, I can’t wait.” Although Bob said he didn’t mind, he was shaking in his boots. ‘I don’t like those kind of movies either, but if Violet likes them I guess it can’t be that bad.’
“Dad? You coming?”
Walking into the house Bob saw to his delight that Dash had already chosen a film it was an action pick. Guiding his daughter to the couch, Bob sat next to his wife and watched how Helen always seemed to cringe when the protagonist shot down a criminal.
‘I guess “The Punisher” is not a good movie for us to watch. I mean Dash and Violet are a little young to see this much gore.’
“I think this is a bit too graphic for Dash and Violet, right honey?”
“Oh come on mom, it’s not so bad.”
“No, I think your mom may be right Dash. This is too much gore, I think you and your sister should get to bed.”
“I see worse on regular television,I mean how bad can this be?”
Feeling the tension starting to rise in the room, Bob decided to change the channel himself. “How bout a nice,wholesome basketball game?”
“Sounds great honey, kid’s where are you going?”
“I rather go to bed then watch a group of men chasing an orange ball around.”
“I second that.” Watching her two eldest children heading upstairs, Helen decided that Bob had done a wonderful thing. ‘Got rid of them and did it without making them too upset.’
Turning off the television, Bob embraced his wife a little closer, “You know, now that the kid’s are upstairs,I wouldn’t mind to get a bit more flexible.”
Taking the hint, Helen captured Bob’s lips in a passionate embrace, unbeknownst to the two parents Violet had come down for a drink of water. Watching them kissing like that, Violet couldn’t help the anger that built up inside of her, ‘Why do I feel this way?Why can’t I just forget about it?’ Bogged down with anguish, Violet trudged to her room to cry away the feelings that ravaged her heart. ‘I will make him understand, he is after all my daddy.’
The two superheroes took their activities into the bedroom and away from the prying eyes of the children. Ever since the incident with Syndro, Bob never again took his family for granted. Which means that when he is with his wife, he cherishes every moment, whether it be her tender caresses or the beautiful sounds that he induces.
They made love long into the night,watching over his wife, Bob made sure that she was sound asleep before he snuck out to finish the gift for his daughter. ‘Now I know what Violet wants, I just have to make it, but how?’
Creeping through his own home, Bob headed to the basement and his workshop, ‘With the materials I have, it should be possible to make what I have planned, but it will take at least the whole night to finish it.’ Knowing there was nothing he could do, Bob started on his gift for his eldest child. Working long into the night, and much of the morning Bob finished his grand design at approximately 4 a.m.
‘Well it is done, and I am beat. I wonder how she will look in this? I mean I made it sturdy but stylish, at least the style I have seen on television.’ Deciding a few hours of sleep is better than none, Bob set out for his comfy bed.
What Bob didn’t know was that,while he was making the gift for Violet, she was watching him the whole night.‘He made that for me? It looks beautiful, no wonder he has been down here for so long. I can’t believe he could actually obtain some of these materials, I mean they can’t be bought at any store I know of.’ Lurking in the shadows Violet had used her powers to keep watch over her father, to make sure that he didn’t work himself to the ground. She did not dream that her father would actually make something so beautiful for her; it was more than she could ever wish for.
‘This will be my new costume; I can’t believe Dad actually made it. I mean doesn’t Mrs. Mole do all this stuff?’
Looking at the time, Violet also decided to go to bed, it wouldn’t be good if her father found out that she had stayed up all night watching him. There would be too many questions and she knew that she would eventually tell him why.
‘This confirms it, I will have to tell him soon. I can’t hide this anymore.’ Walking back up to her room, Violet was happier than she had ever been in her life.
4 hours later
Waking up at 8 a.m. is usually something that wouldn’t faze Bob, but today was an exception. Getting only 4hours of sleep seemed to take a lot out of the superhero, he felt like a zombie. ‘I really need some coffee, but first got to get rid of this aftertaste in my mouth.’
Heading into the bathroom, Bob started to brush his teeth, when he heard a slight sound directly behind him. Paying it no mind, Bob assumed it was just Dash messing around, ‘That boy just loves to test out his speed, not that I wouldn’t do the same thing in his case.’
Finishing up his morning rituals,Bob headed to the dining table for a good cup of coffee. “Good morning honey,how was your sleep?”
Turning toward his wife, Bob flashed a smile, but was too tired to do much else. First he needed coffee,then he could actually be coherent enough to be speaking to his wife. Savoring the aroma of the cup of roasted beans, Bob soon felt invigorated enough to properly greet his wife. “It was fine honey, but I wish we could have stayed in bed a bit longer today. I meant to get some rest after that whole fiasco with the Underminer, I can still feel the dirt in my shorts.”
“Yeah, but you know how it goes, we got a lot to do today.”
“Lot’s to do? What is happening today?”
“Come on Bob, don’t tell me you forgot?”
“Oh you mean that thing with my old boss?”
“Yes, I mean we can’t keep on living off the money you made from Syndro.”
“Yeah, I know, but I will not go crawling back to that man. It just isn’t right, he is a man without morals or principles. All he cares for is the bottom line, I will not work for a company that believes money is more important than people.”
“I know honey, but what are you going to do?”
“I might join the local police department, since we are superheroes, it would not be too farfetched to believe I would be hired.”
“But don’t you think that will expose you to a high amount of risk, I mean you may be super strong but your not immortal.”
“How bad can it be honey? I mean we fight against beasts of burden and evil scientists every other week. What could possibly be worse than that?”
“I suppose, but I want you to promise me that you will be careful. I don’t want to lose you.”
“I promise you will never lose me,you just have to accept that I will be with you forever.”
“That is something I am glad of,now where are the kid’s?”
“I have no idea, hopefully they aren’t oversleeping. I mean we have a big day planned, now that I don’t have to go groveling back to my leech of a ex-boss.”
“What big day daddy?”
Not seeing his eldest child, Bob chalked it up to her invisibility, “Oh nowhere special, just going to drive around town.”
Nodding her head, Violet sat down and started on the meal that her mother made for her. “Thanks mom. This looks really good.”
“No problem sweetie, do you know where your brother is?”
“I have no idea, probably still sleeping, you know him.”
Shaking her head, Helen started up the stairs in search of her wayward son. Thus leaving a perfect opportunity for Violet to speak to her father about what he made, and how it made her feel.
“Dad? Can I talk to you?”
“Sure honey, what’s up?”
“Umm…it’s kind of private, could you please promise me not to tell anyone?”
“How can I promise if I don’t know what it is?”
“Just promise, please Dad?”
“Okay, okay. I promise not to divulge anything that we speak of to anyone that ever walks this Earth. How’s that?”
“Thanks dad…ummm….well…I saw what you made for my birthday dad.”
“What? I was saving that as a surprise for you. Darn, I knew I felt someone watching me when I was making it,but I thought it was due to all the time I couldn’t get to sleep. Ah well, how do you like it? Does it fit?”
“Yes, it is perfect dad. It is beautiful and I want to thank you for making it for me.”
“No problem honey, I mean it’s what dad’s do. So you really like it?”
“Yes, I love it dad.”
“That’s good to hear, I worked on it really hard. I had hoped you would find it pleasing to the eyes.”
“I will wear it always dad.”
“That’s good to hear, I mean it is made of the strongest alloy. I hope to make it so you will never be hurt again ever. Is that your big secret? Finding out about my secret?”
“No, not exactly. I wanted to talk to you about boys…”
“Oh….well maybe you should speak to your mother about that.”
“No, no…I mean I want to speak to you about how boys are always so immature and tactless.”
“Oh…well that’s just how boys are. I mean look at your brother, he could use some lessons in manners. He eats with his mouth open, talks with his mouth full, and runs around the house like a maniac, but that’s why I love him.”
“Well…what I mean to say is…I like this man…he’s kind of older than me…”
“What!? Umm…I don’t think this is such a good idea honey. I mean it can never work out…and if you would just give me his name…I will make sure it doesn’t work out.”
“Daddy, I like him…he just doesn’t know it yet. I mean he has a wife and everything.”
“What!? Okay that is a bad thing,it is a bad thing, I mean a really bad thing. Okay…let’s go through this calmly…you like him? And he doesn’t know you like him? And he is married? Well the answer is simple…don’t go out with him ever…and could you please tell me his name?”
“Come on daddy, I thought you would be more understanding. I mean mom is younger than you…shouldn’t that count for anything?”
“Well…that doesn’t really count you see…cause she is your mom and all. I mean…it just isn’t right Violet…I mean the man won’t understand you like I will.”
“Oh but he will daddy, I mean he is so kind and strong. He is a man of power but holds himself back due to his family and their needs, he confronts those that hurt his family and eradicates them with vengeance.”
“Sounds like a man who has too much power, I mean if he cannot control his tendencies I don’t think it will bode well.”
“But dad, he is a good man, he is a good husband. I know him, I watch him.”
“Okay…now you really have to give me his name. I am going to stop this before it goes any further.”
“What’s all the ruckus about?”Stunned beyond belief, Violet turns a shade of red that would make a tomato envious. “Nothing mom…nothing at all…right dad?”
Feeling like a piece of meat dangling on a hook, Bob wavered under both the glares that were currently being wielded against him. But he did promise his daughter, and he always keeps his promises, no matter how ridiculous they are.
“Violet’s right honey, nothing is going on.”
Feeling betrayed by her own husband, Helen could almost feel the joy of Violet. ‘Violet would rather trust her father than me? It must be serious, but if Bob knows, then at least she has someone to turn to when the time comes.’
“Very well honey…Dash is on his way down. I suggest you clear the way Bob, unless you want him to crash right through you.”
“Why would he crash right through me?”
“Well you are standing right in front of the door to the kitchen…too late.” With a mighty thump, Bob was thrown on his backside due to the force propelling the door in front of his face. “Owww….anybody get the license plate of that truck?”
The blur soon appeared as Bob’s ever active son Dash, “Sorry about that dad, but you were in the way of food.”
Chuckling lightly at his son’s antic’s, Bob let it slide due to the nature of his son’s rush. ‘I mean how could I hope to fight against Helen’s cooking, it is after all very good.’
Devouring the food that was in front of him, Dash soon asked for seconds from his mother. “Hold your horses,it is not easy to feed an overactive speed demon.”
“You can say that again…slow down squid. I mean the food is not going anywhere..”
“Your just mad cause you can’t get the boys to like you…I mean who is the new crush this week?”
“Shut it dweeb, before I send you out into the ocean on a three day cruise without a boat.”
“Now stop it you two, it is breakfast, time for eating and not fighting. Bob say something..”
“Oh right…listen to your mother children, or you aren’t coming with us to the big picnic being held in the park today.”
“Picnic? Meaning food, fun, and sports?”
Laughing at his son’s exuberance, Bob nodded his head, “Yeah there will be plenty of food, fun and sports. Although I wish to remind you to keep your powers in check…I don’t want a repeat of what happened the last time you ran against people.”
“Sounds alright, will there be music?”
Wondering on what was happening with his daughter, Bob also nodded his head, “There will be a band there, but I don’t know if it is a rock band or something more oldie.”
“It sounds like fun honey, count me in. But which park is it?”
“I think it is Freedom Sanctuary,or something along those lines.”
“Oh the new one, I hear they are christening it this week. No wonder there will be a huge picnic, it must be the grand opening.”
“Yep, I hope to see how well they have built the park. I mean we can’t be too careful, a few holes here and there could cause problems.”
“Honey you are a worry wart, I mean what could a few potholes do?”
“Well you never know…anyways let’s get ready. Kids finish your breakfast and let’s get packed.” Eagerly devouring his meal, Dash soon sped upstairs to get ready, and in under a minute flat he was done. “I’m ready.”
Both Helen and Bob shook their heads at the incorrigibility of their eldest son. “Alright sport, let me and the rest of the crew get changed and we will be under way.”
Helen checked up on the baby, ‘She seems fine, hopefully our ride to the picnic will be quiet enough for her to stay asleep.’
“We ready dear?”
“Yeah, let me just get Jackie, and we will be done.”
“Sure, sounds like a plan.” Heading downstairs Bob met up with Violet, “Ready to go honey?”
“Sure dad, but can we talk about that thing later?”
“Umm…I guess, but didn’t I already say no?”
“Come on dad, I need someone to talk to, not someone to make me feel worse.”
Taking his daughter into his arms,Bob hugged her for all he was worth, “I am sorry, I will be the listener, but you have got to promise me that you will tell me his name. I have to check upon him…just checking mind you.”
Relishing the attention her father was showing her, Violet just nodded her head against his chest. “I will daddy,but when it is a good time. I’ll tell you.”
“That’s all I ask. Thank you honey.”
“We ready dear? What happened?”
Seeing his wife, Bob released his daughter and quietly told her that Violet needed a hug, that was all. Nodding her head, Helen still didn’t like how she wasn’t able to speak with her daughter, but was relieved to know that her husband had it all under control.“Well, let’s go.”
The Parr family all packed into their car, and began their journey to the fabled Freedom Sanctuary. ‘I will tell you soon dad, but I still need some more time.’
During the journey there, Bob tried his best to think up what to say to his smitten, young daughter. ‘I can’t believe she likes an older man, not only that he is also married? I really got to get this guy’s name, just in case I have to pay him a visit with my fist.’
“Bob are you alright? You are grabbing the steering wheel a little tight.” Surprised by the sudden feel of the wheel, Bob discovered that he had warped the wheel with his superhuman strength. “I’m fine honey, just thinking about that ex-boss of mine, I still can’t believe what he said to me and also the callous disregard he had for human life.”
“Ohhh…you shouldn’t get so worked up about it honey. I mean it is all in the past, I am sure that you will find a much better job. Who knows, maybe the government will finally recognize our talents and let us become superheroes again.”
“I can only hope honey, but I really think the government may be changing it’s mind about us. I mean with the events that have transpired recently, the government is useless to stop such villains like Syndro and Underminer.”
“Dad? I think you should look in front of you….”
Wondering what could instill such fear into his daughter’s voice, Bob Parr looked up ahead. What he saw made his blood run cold, a mechanical menace was terrorizing the park where they had hoped to spend a nice afternoon at. “Not again, it looks like one of Syndro’s designs.”
“That’s impossible honey, I mean we all saw him get blown up with his aircraft.”
Shaking his head, Bob took a detour and parked his car in a vacant lot. “Okay, here’s how it is going to go, Mom and I will take it from the front. You two will stay with Jack-Jack and make sure she doesn’t get hurt. Sound good?”
“Dad! We are old enough to fight it, why do we have to be the babysitter’s?”
“Violet this is not up for discussion, I will call you if we need your assistance, now stay with your brother and sister.”
Quickly shedding his outer garments, Bob wore his superhero outfit everywhere he went, Bob quickly applied his mask and looked at his wife. “Ready honey?”
“Let’s do it.”
Leaping into action, the two adult superheroes went after the robotic terror.
“This isn’t fair, why do I have to be stuck with you?”
“I don’t like this any better than you squid, but Dad said to stay here with Jack-Jack.”
“Well we could always catch a peek?”
“And who would take care of our sister?”
“I don’t know, all I know is that I’m going. You can follow me if you want.” Zipping into his costume, Dash headed toward the battle. “Dash, come back. That brother of mine will be the death of me. Now what am I going to do with Jack-Jack?”
Spotting a pre-school nearby,Violet headed toward the building. ‘Hmm…she can stay here, I’ll come back for her later. With this force field she should be okay.’ Placing a force field onher younger sister, Violet hurriedly changed into her costume and headed for the battle.
‘Mom’s going to freak, but families stick together right?’
Arriving at the scene of the crime,Bob and Helen watched as the robot stomped around the park. “Okay, how are we going to take this thing down?”
“You take the bottom, I’ll take the top.”
“Sounds good to me honey, be careful of it’s eyes though, they look like laser shooters.” Kissing his wife,Bob tried to communicate all the love he had in one kiss, “Wow, I’ll be right back Bob.”
Helen went for the upper part of the robot while Bob tried the latter. Zooming onto the scene, Dash tried his best to find a way to take out the troublesome robot. ‘Hmm…Dad’s taking the bottom and mom the top? Okay, maybe a bit of rope will make the creep fall down.’ Searching for a hardware store, Dash soon found his preferred brand and raced back to the scene. Looping around and around the creature, it was soon apparent that rope wasn’t going to be enough to stop it. Breaking through the rope like it was made of leaves, the robot concentrated it’s attacks on the speedy devil.
“Oh boy, this is bad.” Stomping toward Dash, the robot shot forth lasers from it’s eyes. Dodging as best he could, Dash soon was being pushed into a corner. A beam of energy surging toward his position, Dash had no where to run. Raising his arms and hoping for a miracle, Dash was astounded to find a ball of energy surrounding him.
“You know I can’t keep saving your butt.”
Looking up at his older sister, Dash smiled shyly, “Thanks sis. But I wouldn’t gloat so much, cause here it comes.”
Expanding her energy field, Violet hoped to protect both her brother and herself. The strain on her powers were soon apparent, “I don’t think I can hold this any more, can you get us out of here Dash?”
“Sounds good sis, hope on.”Climbing onto her diminutive brother, Violet continued her force field while they ran away.
“What are you two doing here?”
Staring into the eyes of a very angry Bob Parr is not something a person does willingly, “Uhh…hi Dad. How’s it going?”
“Dash what are you and your sister doing here? And where’s Jack-Jack?”
“He’s fine Dad, I left him at the pre-school a couple blocks from here.”
“Fine, but stay close to each other, protect each other. Help if you can, but if not stay as far back as possible, we’ll talk about this later.”
Not looking forward to that lecture, both Dash and Violet went in search of something they could do to help defeat the robot. “How’s it going honey?”
“Not good, seems we need something really sharp to break through it’s skin.”
“You guys say something about sharp?”
Turning to the voice, Bob spotted his old super buddy Frozone, “Hey buddy, what took you?”
“Had to find my supersuit, you know how the missus is?”
“So what’s your idea buddy?”
“I can create a spike of ice, that will pierce that skin like butter. Although I don’t have the strength to launch it at the thing.”
“I see, make it and I’ll be your human catapult.”
Building a ice spike sharp enough to pierce the skin of the robot menace takes a lot of water. Thus, Frozone needed a bit of time, “Alright people give Frozone, the time he needs, distract the hunk of junk.”
The four Parr’s launched themselves at the robot, Helen using her powers to trip it up. Bob was trying his best to knock it back, throwing trees and cars at the robot. While Dash and Violet were working together to form a sort of force field bullet, combining their powers,Violet forming a shield around them while Dash sped toward the robot at sonic speed.
Frozone had finally gathered enough water and was giving the finishing touches to his ice spike, “Hey buddy, I’m done. Catch!”
Tossing the spike at his bowling buddy, Frozone hoped that he would catch it and send it through the mechanical horror. Catching the block of ice, Bob signaled his family to get out of the way. “I hope you like it cold my friend, this spike’s for you.”
Whipping the spike at breakneck speeds, it skewered the huge tin bot, and toppled it against the Museum of Rock and Roll. ‘That is going to be a big rebuilding process, ouch.’
Watching as his family celebrated the victory, Bob could only think of the one person who could make such a menace. ‘I saw he die, he got sliced to bits, blown up, he can’t be alive, can he?’
Helen watched her husband’s facial expressions, ‘He must be thinking about the person who built that monstrosity. I guess Syndro didn’t die, but I still don’t know how he survived that blast.’
“Honey, let’s head back to the car.”
“Huh? Oh yeah, let me talk to Frozone for a minute.”
“Okay, meet you back there.”
Walking over to the king of ice,Bob found his friend dusting off his suit. “Nice throw there, how much you bench pressing nowadays?”
“I don’t know, about 4 tons or something like that. That’s not what I was going to talk to you about, do you know who made this?”
“I can only guess, Syndro?”
“Yep, the only person who could come up with something so huge.”
“I thought he died?”
“Guess not, but I will find him,give me a hand?”
“Sounds good, but no more destruction okay? I can’t take another bill.”
“Haha, I can’t make any guarantees.”
“I knew you would say that, no worries I’ll help you.”
“Thanks buddy, catch you later?”
“Sure, sounds good.”
Returning to his family, Bob found his daughter holding up Jack-Jack. “Told you I left her in a safe place, plus she had a force-field and everything.”
“Good work honey, but next time leave it to mom and me.”
“It wasn’t my idea, ask Dash.”
“Dash? What did I tell you about jumping into fights?”
“Not to?”
“Yep, but I want to thank you anyways. You two worked great out there, but your still grounded.”
“Awww…man…okay thanks Dad.”
Embracing his wife, Bob and Helen walked back to their car, “How bout we finish the picnic at home?”
“Sounds good to me honey, I’m beat.”
“Yeah, it sounds good Dad.”
“Darn, and I wanted to have some fun at the grand opening.”
“Don’t worry son, there will be another grand opening.” Piling into the car, the Parr family headed home. While a presence watched them in the shadows, “Finished it quickly eh? Well I have plans for you Mr. Incredible, you and your whole family. I will have my revenge…that’s a promise from Syndro.”
Laughter filled the air, but it was maniacal in nature. Too bad, the Parr family had their windows rolled up.
Arriving home, Helen ushered in Dash and Jack-Jack. Violet said she needed a minute, ‘I wonder if she is going to tell Bob what has been bothering her the past few weeks?’
With the rest of the family inside,Violet felt more at ease, that is until she felt the presence of her father behind her. “Something you want to talk about honey?”
Composing herself, Violet took a few deep breathes, “Dad? Today was bad wasn’t it?”
“Yeah, it was kind of bad. Why?”
“Well, I found out today that life can be very precious. And that I want to tell you something before anything happens.”
“Oh honey, nothing is going to happen to me or our family I promise you.”
“Still…I just want to say it…just in case okay?”
“Whatever you want honey…now what did you wish to talk to me about?”
Turning away from her father,Violet took a couple more deep breathes, “I wanted to say…that…I…love you Dad.”
Confused by the sudden emotion running through his daughter’s voice, Bob was relieved nonetheless when he found out the reason. “Oh…I love you too honey. Is that what you wanted to say?”
“No…it’s not love like that Dad. What I mean is…I love you like a woman loves a man.”
Dumbfounded by this new discovery,Bob tried to process it, “Umm…what do you mean honey?”
“Dad, I love you like Mom does. I want to be with you always, every where I go I think about you Dad.”
“Well, that is normal, a daughter is supposed to love her father. I think your confused about the other thing though.”
“I am not confused Dad. I know I love you, I know it with all my heart. I really do love you Dad.”
Watching his daughter breaking down, Bob hugged her, “Shh…it’s okay, we’ll get through this.”
“I don’t want to get through this,I love you Dad.” Taking the initiative, Violet reached up and brought her father into a passionate kiss.
Surprised by her actions, Bob couldn’t do anything but stand there and let her kiss him. Tentatively kissing back, Bob soon stopped it, breaking her hold on him, Bob looked at his daughter. “Violet, that was not right…”
“I know daddy, but I can’t help it. I love you.”
“Dad’s and daughter’s can’t do that honey…it isn’t proper.”
“I don’t care Dad, plus you were kissing back too.” Blushing at being caught, Bob continued with his emotions in check. “You just took me by surprise is all. We can’t do this honey, it isn’t good.”
“I don’t care, I can’t stop these feelings Dad. When I was kissing you, I felt happier then I have ever felt before.”
“Do you mean the older man was me?”
“Yes! I watched you daddy, I couldn’t help loving you.”
“I know honey, but you must understand…it can’t happen.”
“I know, but I will still fight for it. I love you too much to quit and that kiss gave me hope, no one can take that away from me. No one!”
Running inside the house, Violet raced upstairs to her own room. Helen was stunned by her daughter’s behavior,walking outside Helen saw her husband in deep thought.
“What happened honey? Why is Violet crying?”
Shocking from his thoughts, Bob turned toward his wife, “Oh….she is just mad about something I told her. It is nothing honey…nothing..”
“Are you sure?”
“Yeah, I’m sure.”
Trusting her husband, Helen still couldn’t shake the feeling of doom that loomed over both Bob and Violet. ‘Why do I get the feeling that “nothing” is really a big something? I hope that Violet will tell me in time.’
“Come in honey, the food is getting cold.”
“I’ll be in a minute honey, I just got some stuff to think about.” Kissing her husband, Helen went back inside to prepare the food.
Bob was having a conflict inside his soul, ‘I can’t believe it, my own daughter loves me, it seems surreal. What am I going to do? I can’t tell Helen, it would be so humiliating for Violet,but what the heck am I going to do?’ Feeling a migraine coming on, Bob knew that this was something he couldn’t solve by himself. ‘I need to speak with Violet again, and tell her that kiss didn’t mean a thing. I didn’t feel her lips, the smell of her shampoo, the feel of her hair on my face…okay I have officially gone insane…I am thinking such things about my own daughter…I am scum.’
Shaking his head, Bob Parr headed inside, he hoped the food would heal his broken mind…or at least make him feel better about himself.
