A Family Affair
Slamming the door behind her, Violet jumped onto her bed and screamed into her pillow. ‘Why can’t he understand? I love him, but he won’t let me. I can’t stop it, it’s not like a toy which you can switch on or off.’ Wallowing in her misery, Violet looked around her room for comfort, plastered on all the walls were photographs of her father and all the heroic deeds he was involved in. Looking at the images gave Violet new hope, ‘He kissed back, that has got to mean something, I mean why would he kiss back if he did not mean it?’
Grasping onto straws, Violet let this little bit of hope hold her through the pain that enveloped her heart. ‘It is only a matter of time, you will see daddy, I love you.’
Downstairs, Bob felt a chill run through his spine, “Something wrong honey?” Looking at his wife Bob tried to explain the feeling, “Just a chill, must be a draft in the house, I’ll check on it later.”
“Sounds good…ummm…do you know what is wrong with Violet honey?”
Caught again in the middle of a moral dilemma, Bob knew he couldn’t tell his wife, and he can’t stand the feeling of betrayal inside his heart, stuck in such a situation can make anybody a bit frustrated. “I don’t know honey, it is hard to explain.”
“Well I have all the time in the world, Dash? Be a good boy and go watch T.V.”
“Do I have to? This is getting good.”
“Listen to your mother Dash, this is between your mother and me.”
“Oh alright, maybe the movie we watched last night is playing again.”
“No violence Dash, now just watch some cartoons or something.”
“Oh your no fun mom, I wanted to see someone’s head sod off.”
“I think you watched too much T.V., go watch some cartoons son.”
“Alright dad, but can I see some video’s of the past later?”
“Sure, we’ll watch them together, now off with you.” Walking off, Dash headed into the living room to watch some cartoons.
“Now explain the situation Bob, how bad is it?”
“Don’t go blowing things out of proportion Helen, it isn’t that bad…well maybe a little bad.”
“What is it Bob?”
“I don’t know if I should tell you, I mean I promised Violet.”
“And you don’t want to break her trust in you?”
“Yeah, she might not trust me again if I did. And where would we be then?”
“Up a creek without a paddle, meaning the both of us wouldn’t know a thing.”
“Yep, I don’t want to keep this from you, but I know how private this is to Violet.”
“I understand, but if it really gets bad, promise me that you will talk to me.”
“Don’t worry about it, I will nip it in the bud before it gets really out of hand.”
“Yeah, but just in case remember you can talk to me about anything. Okay?”
“I understand honey, I will come to you when the time is right, but for now…I need to speak with our daughter.”
“Okay, but remember try to be calm when you talk to her.”
“I am the epitome of calm, why would you say that?”
“Well, from your past records, you haven’t actually been the best role model for serenity.”
“I’m hurt, I mean just because I knock down a few buildings and throw around a few cars…hmmm…I see your point. Good advice, I’ll try to act calmly. But you have to promise me no eavesdropping, okay?”
“Fine, but I want to know all about this eventually.”
“Don’t worry, I’ll tell you when it is time.”
Heading up the stairs to his daughter’s room, Bob was feeling a bit nervous, ‘What am I going to say? I mean this is not exactly going to be easy, I would rather fight 10 behemoths before I faced this conversation.’ Unfortunately for Bob, his house wasn’t big enough for a long introspective in the way to handle these types of situations, ‘Well here goes nothing, I mean how bad could this be?’
Knocking on the door, Bob called for his daughters permission to enter her room, “Come in.”
Entering the room, Bob discovered his daughter lying on top of her bed, looking at the red eyes and puffy nose, Bob deduced that minutes before she was crying.
“Are you alright?”
Pondering on the implications of the question, Violet took her time in answering. “How would you feel?”
“Ummm…about that…maybe I was bit harsh before.”
“What do you mean?”
“What I mean to say, is that maybe I was too tough on you. I mean I should have been more understanding of your point of view.”
Brightening considerably, Violet took what her dad said as hope, “So it is alright?”
“Well, I didn’t exactly say that. I just wanted to apologize for yelling and scolding you, it was wrong of me.”
Deflating once more, Violet responded with a grunt in acknowledgement.
“Now, don’t get all bent out of shape, we can work this out.”
“And how exactly do you hope to work this out?”
“Well, I mean there has to be some way, every problem has a solution.”
“So you think my loving you is a problem now?”
“No, of course not, what I mean to say is…uhh…darn I am no good at this sort of thing.”
Feeling a little pity for the man that she loves, Violet tried a different tact, “How about you try it out for a few weeks? If it doesn’t work out then I’ll forget all about this, how does that sound?”
“What do you mean by that honey?”
“What I mean is, will you try to be my companion for 3 weeks?”
“And what does this companion thing entail?”
“Well, many of the things being a husband entails, sound good?”
“I don’t think that is possible honey, I mean isn’t it a bit immoral?”
“Or we could go back to hating each other? Which sounds better?”
“I have never hated you honey, never.”
“I know, but when you said no to me, I couldn’t take it. You must understand, you were in love weren’t you? With mom?”
“Yes…I mean that was different, we weren’t related. It was different.”
“I understand, but the love I hold is still the same, I cannot hope to crush it just to hide it.”
“Don’t you think a father and daughter is special?”
“Yes, but it is not enough for me. I want more than a father-daughter relationship.”
“Your mom would freak if she knew about this.”
“I bet she would, but I have said numerous times already, I can’t stop these feelings.” Watching as her father mulled this over, Violet watched his features, ‘He is coming around, I just need one more little nudge.’
“How bout 3 weeks and I won’t tell anyone about this ever?”
“I don’t know honey, I mean it would be awkward.”
“No it wouldn’t, at least not to me. Please Dad? Please?” Falling on her hands and knees, Violet hoped to sway her father into submission.
“Alright, I’ll do it. Please stand up Violet, I can’t stand to see you beg.”
Filled with triumph, Violet jumped onto her father and delivered kiss upon kiss onto his lips. With each passing second, Violet was introducing more and more passion into the kisses. Soon she was eroding his sense of morals, delivering him into a passionate realm of darkness and lust.
Believing that he had enough torture for one day, Violet extracted herself from his body. ‘Wow, he must be working out, I could feel the muscles all over my body.’ Standing flabbergasted, Violet gave him a little punch to break him from his trance. “You alright honey?” Snapping awake, Bob stared at his eldest child, “Honey?”
“Well, I can’t call you daddy…it just doesn’t fit for a wife and husband.”
“Wha…What?”
“You agreed right?”
“I guess but won’t your mother be a little perturbed by your intimacy with me?”
“Don’t worry, I won’t say it in front of anyone. I just wanted to try it out in private, it feels good to be able to say that. I like it.”
“I assume that we are done here?”
“Yes, I’ll save my other perks for later. Won’t you escort me to the table honey?”
“I don’t know…won’t it seem odd to your mother?”
Watching her father speaking, Violet couldn’t stop herself, she again embraced him in a brain-searing kiss. Hoping to remove all doubts about her love for him in one fell swoop. “Let’s go honey, I am starving.”
Taking his daughter’s hand in his, Bob walked out of his daughter’s room and headed downstairs. ‘How the heck do I get myself into these kind of messes? I mean I pay my taxes, save lives every day, but why must I be cursed with such ill fortune?’
Helen heard footsteps coming down the stairs, Bob and Violet soon came into view, the odd thing though was Bob holding Violet’s hand. Fortunately for Bob, Violet soon released his hand and headed toward the table to finish her supper.
“Everything alright honey?”
“Yeah…uhh..everything’s fine.”
“Just peachy mom, can you pass the ketchup?”
“Sure honey, so there’s nothing the matter?”
“Everything’s fine mom, Dad and I just talked and it worked out just fine. Right daddy?”
Feeling like a dog on a leash, Bob agreed to his daughters statements, ‘I have really messed up this time, I mean I should have told her no. Instead, I am stuck as her husband for the next 3 weeks. I should reject her advances, but I can’t seem to put up a strong enough defense. Her kisses, they seem to destroy all my inhibitions, how is that possible? Does she have the power to control minds? Or is it I really do love her?’
“Okay if you say so…so Bob, what exactly did you guys talk about?”
“Now, Mom you know that is private…I mean Dad doesn’t tell me what you guys talk about.”
“I know honey, but he is my husband and spouses shouldn’t keep things from each other. Building trust is essential for loving partners, right honey?”
“Oh…of course…essential. Your mother’s right honey, I really should tell her everything.”
Wondering where her father was going with this, Violet let it pass, ‘It’s not like he will tell her that I love him, it would ruin his whole life. I think I have become a bad person, blackmailing my dad, using him for my own pleasure…hmmm…but it will all work out in the end…I just know it.’
“Well? What were you talking about?”
“Boys, you know which one she liked.”
“But why was she crying then?”
“Well I forbid her from one of them, you know how father’s are, always protective of their daughters.”
“And now you are okay? What did you tell her? That she could see the one boy you forbid?”
“No, I made a deal with her, I stated a 3 week probation period, kind of like a test.”
“I see, well is that all?”
“Yes, of course I cannot tell you who the boy is…you know for her privacy.”
“Yeah mom, I mean, it was bad enough I told dad. I don’t want too many people to know, especially the squid.”
“Uh-huh…now don’t call your brother that. Well if that is all, then I am so relieved, I thought it was something worse than that.”
“No, nothing more than a father’s refusal of his daughter’s choices.”
Still feeling like she had not gotten all the answers, Helen had to make due with the information she collected so far. ‘I will see who Violet likes, then I will see if Bob was right in forbidding her from dating the person.’
Finishing her meal, Violet motioned for her dad to come closer, “I want to thank you for keeping it a secret, I mean it is really important to me that this does not get out.”
“You think I want it to? I understand your reasoning, but I want you to know, that this little arrangement only lasts for 3 weeks. Understand?”
“Of course, Daddy.” Walking away from the table, Violet went into the kitchen to wash her dishes. “Something you want to tell me Bob?”
Forgetting that his wife was standing right next to him, Bob jumped about a foot into the air. “Whoa…don’t ever do that…I mean I don’t have a strong heart. What do you mean dear?”
“I mean why you seem so jumpy, and why Violet is so secretive with you?”
“I don’t understand dear?”
“I want to know Bob, I mean I love our daughter just as much as you do. I need to know.”
“I understand, but it is something that she has to figure out for herself. We cannot help her through this, I know you mean well, but you must understand that I don’t tell you everything for her own good.”
“I worry about her, I mean she is so quiet usually, now she almost seems giddy with anticipation. I want to know who this boy is, I don’t want him taking advantage of our baby girl.”
Remembering all the times he had been with Violet, Bob could not believe he had though his daughter was a baby anymore. “I doubt the boy can do anything, I mean our daughter is strong. I wouldn’t worry, I mean if he did do something it would be with her permission.”
“I just worry, she may be putty in his hands. I don’t want our daughter to grow up like that.”
“I know, but I promise you that will never happen. I will not let it, do you trust me?”
“Of course, what kind of question is that?”
“Just wondering, because I will have to do some things that may seem a bit immoral to protect her. Is that okay?”
“I don’t understand, what do you mean immoral?”
“Things are not always black and white, I must protect her. You know that I would never let anyone hurt her, right?”
“I know that, but something immoral? Are you sure about this?”
“I would destroy the very heavens themselves, if it meant I could spare my family even the tiniest amount of grief. Know that there is nothing I wouldn’t do to protect this family.”
Gazing into her husband’s eyes, Helen was struck by the very intensity of his gaze, “I know honey, and I thank the heavens everyday that you are here to protect us. But don’t believe that we are all incapable of protecting ourselves, we make due, you should rest more often dear. I mean all this stress cannot be good for you.”
“I am fine dear, and I know that you guys can protect yourselves, it is just that I worry, just like you.”
Embracing her husband, Helen tried to express all the love that she felt for him at that very moment. “Ahem…”
Standing in the doorway was Violet, and she did not look all that pleased. “You guys need to get a room, I mean too much patty cake down here can scar a child for life.”
Turning a light shade of pink, Helen was curious to see a level of animosity in her daughters eyes, ‘Almost as if she were jealous or something? I wonder?’
“Your mother and I were just hugging, no need to get all uptight sweetie.”
Violet let her eyes roam for a minute, “I know, but let’s just keep it at that stage when you guys are downstairs, I mean the squid might be watching.”
“What did I tell you about calling your brother a squid?”
“Not to?”
“I believe that we should take our discussion elsewhere honey, I mean I wouldn’t want to scar the child.”
Feeling like a kid once more, Violet’s fury grew, “I didn’t mean it like that mom, I am just worried for the squid’s sake. I mean he doesn’t know about this stuff yet.”
Quickly deflating, Helen took her eldest child into a hug, “I know honey, I’m sorry, I am just a little frustrated right now. Forgive me?”
“There is nothing to forgive, I mean if you guys want to do this here I can’t stop you. I am just stating my concern about the situation is all.” Returning her mother’s embrace, Violet let the warmth soothe her soul, ‘I can’t believe I am taking my mom’s husband away from her, but is my happiness not worth the pain? I am selfish for thinking of myself before my mother? I mean I love dad but I don’t want to hurt mom, this is so confusing…no…I just have to remember the kiss I shared with Dad. That is all that matters right now, all I care about.’
“Isn’t this a Kodak moment, I should have gotten my camera. Can you guys hold that position for about 10 more minutes? I’ll get it now.”
Quickly breaking the hug, both women stared daggers at the head of the household, “What? I was joking…jeez no one can take a good joke nowadays.”
With one last look at her mother Violet headed upstairs, “I’ll be in my room, I have some homework I need to take care of.”
“Sure honey, see you later sweetie.”
“Where is Dash honey?”
“Oh he is in the living room watching some cartoons, hopefully the PG-13 variety.”
Checking in on his son, Bob watched as Dash zoomed through the channels, ‘How can he do that? I mean the image only lasts for 1 second before he switches it. How can he choose a channel like that?’
“You okay son?”
Hoping off the couch, Dash ran straight for his dad, ramming into the muscle man, Dash seemed a bit dazed afterwards. “I’m fine dad, want to watch some movies with me?”
“Sounds like a plan, how bout just one though?”
“Why?”
“You got school tomorrow, and I got to do something after the movie. How’s that sound? We’ll even take in a good action flick, how bout “Man on Fire”?”
“Hmm…okay dad, but promise we can watch something more gruesome later on.”
“I promise, but I get to pick the gruesome movie.” Sitting down to enjoy the movie, Bob let the past day roll off his back, ‘Guess I’ll take things as it goes, I mean it’s not like I can change them.’
Partway through the movie, Dash saw enough gore that even he was satisfied, “I told you it was graphic, this gruesome enough?”
“Yeah, this is awesome, with the way he cut off the guy’s fingers. Then cauterized them with the lighter, it was cool.”
“Glad you like it, but let’s keep this between you and me. There is no need for your mother to know I showed you this.”
“Uh-huh, this is so cool.”
While Bob and his son were watching the movie, Helen was going over what she had to do the next morning. ‘Okay, got to drive Violet and Dash to school, pick up the groceries, make the mortgage payments, talk to Mrs. Mode about the suits, find out if Syndrome is still alive…hmmm…busy day tomorrow.’
Checking in on her husband and son, Helen found to her horror, an image of a bloody window on the TV. screen. “What the heck are you watching Bob?”
Startled by the sudden appearance of his wife, Bob turned a little too quickly, with a slight click he felt his muscles twitch a bit. ‘That’s going to hurt tomorrow morning…I really got to stop doing that.’
“Oh honey, it’s just a action movie. Nothing to bad, right son?”
“This movie is awesome mom, I mean with the way he shoots and cuts, it’s awesome.”
Believing his son forgot their little talk, Bob just stared at the onrush of emotions that littered his wife’s face. “Now honey, it’s not as bad as Dash says it is. I mean it has a story too, a little girl and her bodyguard how bad can that be?”
“Except the bodyguard seems to be shooting people down left and right, what the heck happened?”
“Don’t worry mom, I won’t get nightmares, this is too cool.”
Frustrated with the way Bob seemed to like to show his son violent movies, Helen just let them be, ‘I mean if Dash gets nightmares, Bob can sleep outside to protect him.’
Turning around Helen headed into her bedroom, “Don’t keep him up too late Bob, I don’t want him to fall asleep in school.”
“Yes honey, I won’t.”
Watching as his wife disappeared, Bob released a sigh, “That went rather well, right dad?”
“Yea, almost too well. I don’t think it is over yet.”
“Well at least we get to finish the movie, here comes the good part. Yeah, there he goes blowing up the fat guy, wow he took the whole car with him. Cool.”
When the duo were done with the movie, Bob escorted his son upstairs. “Now get to bed, you need your rest, school tomorrow.”
“See you Dad, Good night.”
“Good night sport.”
Heading down the hallway, Bob went to check up on his daughter, opening the door he found her still awake. Knocking on the door gained her attention, “What are you still doing up honey?”
“Just waiting for you honey…I wanted a good night kiss.”
Feeling it would have been better if he had just gone to bed, Bob headed toward his daughter. With the intentions of giving his daughter a kiss on the cheek, Bob was surprised to feel her soft lips. She soon turned the kiss from a chaste good night kiss into something so much more, embracing her dad Violet drove on the need for his love. It seemed that her dad didn’t mind since he was kissing back, ‘Hehe…I guess he likes it. Yes! My plan is working perfectly, soon I will have him all to myself.’
Bob did not know why he was kissing his daughter, all he knew was that it was like his mind shut down. He felt her soft supple lips and the taste of cinnamon whenever he kissed her, kissing her was much different then kissing his wife. Although it wasn’t better it was just different, much like comparing apples to oranges. He soon lifted his daughter into his arms and initiated a more passionate kiss.
Violet wasn’t complaining, she was moaning at the pleasure that her father was instilling into her. Feeling that he needed breath, Bob released her, panting and moaning Violet tried to initiate another breathtaking kiss. Bob shielded away, “I think that’s enough for tonight Violet, I mean it was great but I believe that will do.”
Pouting, Violet nonetheless let it go, “Thank you for the good night kiss honey…it was amazing. I can’t believe the way you kissed me, I loved it. Let’s do it again real soon.”
Quickly exiting his daughters bedroom, Bob hustled to the master bedroom. “Honey is that you?”
Surprised his wife was still awake, Bob quickly lowered his voice, “Yeah, it’s me. What are you still doing up?”
“Woke up when I heard the door open, Dash asleep?”
“Yeah, I tucked him in about 5 minutes ago. Go to bed dear, I’ll be along in a minute.”
“Okay, don’t forget to brush your teeth.”
Heading into the master bath to do just that, Bob scolded himself for his irresponsible behavior, ‘I am starting to like kissing Violet, I can’t stop, what am I going to do?’ Brushing his teeth vigorously, Bob tried to remove all taste of Violet from his mouth. Changing into his pajamas, Bob headed toward bed, “Good night honey.”
With a light kiss, Helen feel into a another deep slumber, ‘Good thing she doesn’t know, or we would really be in trouble.’ Trying his best to dispel the images of his daughter from his mind, Bob tried to remove all the feelings and emotions he felt when he was kissing his eldest child. ‘I know now, I don’t ever go into her room ever again. I mean that was not a good thing.’
While Bob tried to sort out his thoughts, Violet was feeling like the world was finally making sense. ‘I can’t believe that Dad loves me that much, the feelings inside bursting forth. I could feel all his passion when he deepened our embrace, I can’t wait until we really do something fun.’ Dreaming of all the things that her dad could do for her, Violet slept like a baby for the first time in a long time.
The next day
Waking up in the arms of her husband, Helen just watched him for a moment, ‘He seems so peaceful here, with all the fighting and yelling I had forgotten the love I share with him.’ Taking the time to caress her husband’s face, Helen delivered light kisses all over his face and neck. Taking the time to nibble on his ear, trying her best to stimulate him without waking him up. Remembering that the kid’s had school today, Helen stopped her exploration of her husband and headed into the bathroom to get ready.
After a shower, Helen brushed her teeth and went in search of her youngest child. Jack-Jack seemed fine in her crib, ‘She looks so sweet, better take her down with me. I have to make breakfast before Bob and the children wake up.’ Taking the sleeping child into her arms, Helen headed downstairs to cook breakfast.
While Helen was busy with breakfast, Violet awakened to another morning of boring school. Although there was one thing that made this all worthwhile, heading down the hall, Violet tiptoed into her parents room. Upon arriving she discovered her father sleeping peacefully, ‘He looks so serene, almost makes me sad to wake him.’
Walking quietly, Violet came along the side of the bed and started her trek toward her father. When she was close enough, Violet blew air in her father’s ear. Bob just turned away and went back to sleep, Violet decided to try a different approach. Straddling her father, Violet indulged herself in a little nibbling game, she nibbled on his lips and waited for his reaction. When he opened his mouth, Violet delivered a passion filled kiss.
Bob was in dreamland, and he was happily kissing his wife, when suddenly his wife turned into his daughter. Bewildered by this turn of events, Bob could not stop his daughter from capturing his lips. Although the kiss was unexpected, Bob kissed back and soon was caressing his daughter’s back, eliciting moans of pleasure from Violet.
Violet couldn’t believe her luck, she seemed to have awakened a lust-filled father with her teasing and kissing. Enjoying it while it lasted, Violet moaned her approval when he massaged her back, feeling his hands exploring her body Violet deepened the kiss. Taking the grunts coming from her father as a good sign, Violet started to caress his face and feel the taunt muscles rippling underneath her.
Believing her father needed air, Violet let the kiss go, Bob panted in his sleep, his hands still roaming all over his young daughter’s body. Deciding that it would not be a good thing for her to be found in his arms, Violet climbed off her father and disappeared. Kissing him once more, Violet let her last bits of passion escape, done with her fun Violet headed toward the bathroom to freshen up.
When he awakened, Bob was confused, he felt the warm lips of his daughter but then it disappeared. ‘What happened? What was that dream about?’ Thoroughly confused Bob headed into the master bath and took a long cold shower. When he came out, he had some semblance of his former self. ‘I really need to stop dreaming of my daughter like that, I mean it can’t be very good for either her or me.’
Shaking his head, Bob brushed his teeth and headed downstairs. Hearing his wife singing in the kitchen, Bob sneaked up to her and gave her a quick pat on the butt. “Woo..oh Bob it’s just you. How was your sleep?”
“It was fine honey, yours?”
“I sleep well, going to look for a job today?”
“I was thinking of heading down to the police station after breakfast. How bout the kids? Aren’t they late?”
“No, I estimate that we have about one hour left to get there. Dash will probably wake up in 50 minutes then take 10 minutes to change and eat breakfast.”
“That’s my boy, hmm…have you seen Violet?”
“No, I think she just work up. She is probably taking a bath before school.”
Nodding his head, Bob sat down for breakfast. Within 10 minutes, Violet had come down for breakfast already changed for school.
“Good morning mom, dad.”
“Good morning honey. How was your sleep?”
“Oh it was fine, how bout yours mom?”
“It was good, now sit, breakfast should be ready soon.”
“How bout you dad? Dream anything good?” Bob wasn’t really sure, but he thought he saw his daughter smirking at him. “Uhh…yeah…I had some good dreams.”
“Oh…what about daddy?”
“Uh…just picnics and saving the world, you know the usual.”
“You know your father Violet, he just loves food and attention. Isn’t that right honey?”
“I am not that obvious am I?”
“Only to me honey, only to me.” Smiling mischievously Helen went back to work on her family’s meal. “Here we go; bacon, eggs, toast, milk and orange juice.”
“Thanks honey this looks great.”
“Yeah mom, this looks fantastic. Thanks.”
“No problem honey, I mean the bacon was easy enough to cook. And the eggs took about 2 minutes, though the toast took a bit longer. I think we need a new one Bob.”
“Really? Broke already?”
“It’s five years old Bob, I think it’s past it’s prime.”
“Hehe…you might be right about that honey.”
Sitting down to join her family, Helen grabbed two pieces of bacon and some eggs. Eating silently, the Parr family didn’t mind the solitude, it just meant a little peace before the storm. The storm being Dash, hearing a scream Helen knew her son was awake. Hearing the trademark sounds of her son, Helen knew he had just rushed through his room trying his best to find clean clothes. Then he went to brush his teeth, which took about 3 seconds, then he raced downstairs for breakfast.
“Hi mom, hi dad.”
“Good morning son.”
“Good morning sport, how was your sleep?”
“Good, good.” Stuffing his face, Dash soon finished half of the food on the table. “Thanks mom, got to go.”
“Hold on one moment mister, let me and your sister finish breakfast before we go.”
“Sure thing mom, but could we hurry up? I mean I wanted to talk to Billy before class, he has this cool new game I wanted to check out.”
“Don’t rush us Dash, I mean not everyone can eat as fast as you.”
“Yeah squid, I mean we need a bit more time. Give us about 5 more minutes.”
Racing around the dinner table, Dash tried to burn off his energy. “How bout we go outside sport? We’ll toss the old pigskin around, that should be enough time for your sister and mother to finish breakfast.”
Bob and his son went out into the front yard, Bob tossed one to the next town, watching as his son raced as fast as he could to catch it. ‘Hmm…the speed at which he goes…I could maybe copy it. If I transferred most of my strength to my legs…hmm…I think that could work.’
Preparing for the onslaught, Bob was literally bowled over by his precocious son. “Good catch son, I think by now that your mom and sister are done.”
“Yeah, but how bout one more throw dad?”
“Sounds good, here we go.” Again tossing it as hard as he could Bob watched it sail into the horizon. “Go for it son.”
With a burst of speed Dash had already met the ball halfway, with another burst he was at the landing spot. Waiting for the ball to come down, ‘Here it comes.’
Catching the football, Dash raced back home, when his dad came into view he tackled him. “Good one son, now get ready for school. I have to go into town for the afternoon.”
Nodding his head, Dash headed inside to retrieve his bag, and waited for his mother to open the door to the family car. “You going to be alright Bob?”
“Yeah, I’ll head into town in about 15 minutes. Have to finish my breakfast first.”
“Okay, see you dad.”
“See you honey, take care of your brother for me.”
“Yeah, yeah. Don’t worry so much.”
“See you honey, good luck on the police thingy.” Giving her husband a kiss good-bye, Helen felt his hand go to her butt. Squeezing it a little, Bob elicited a startled shriek from his wife.
“Come back soon honey, I’ll be waiting.”
Watching his family leave, Bob headed into his house, he had to test out this new theory. ‘If I time it right…hmmm…I could actually possess super speed and strength. First things first, I must channel all my reserve strength into my legs. Now how to do it?’
Searching the net, Bob found that if he settled into a deep trance the change could be possible. ‘So a deep meditative state, hmm…this would be something I think Helen would be more prone to. Although if I wish to protect my family from Syndrome…it’s worth a shot.’
Dispelling all other thoughts from his mind, Bob concentrated on the strength he felt within, the strength that surged throughout his inner being. He must harness it, the power would raise his speed exponentially, even going so far as to make him a human bullet. Concentrating, Bob imagined his power as a circle of light, it shined through the darkness of his mind. Cradling the beacon of light, Bob forced it down to the very tips of his toes. Feeling a sensational tingle in the soles of his feet, Bob tried to lock the flow of energy into place. Providing a mental lock, Bob hoped to keep all the reserve energy flowing through his legs. Opening his eyes, Bob tried to walk a bit, what he found amazed him. The slightest motion caused him to lurch a good 5 feet, trying to walk like regular but was forced into the brick wall. ‘Mental note to self, remember to continue such experiments outside. It is not fun to have my face jammed into concrete.’
Trying a different tactic, Bob tried a little jump, which sent him through the roof of his house. While Bob had a hard head, he still felt pain, ‘Second note to self, never jump in the house again.’
Now that he was outside Bob tried out his new talents, it seemed he was not quite as fast as his son, although he could run down the street in 2 seconds flat. ‘This is awesome, Syndrome won’t know what hit him. I will protect this family, I will not let him toy with my family again. He will pay dearly for his actions in the past, so will the others who helped him in his misdeeds.’
Due to the adrenaline rush of finding out about his new talents, Bob was surprised when he suddenly collapsed. ‘Wha…ohhh…forgot…can’t use it all up so quickly. Takes my body a while for it get used to the huge amount of energy that is needed for such speed.’
Dragging himself back to his home, Bob collapsed on the floor once he had made it inside. ‘Maybe a little nap will help rejuvenate me?’ Feeling the effects of the exertions kicking in, Bob was soon out cold.
4 hours later
Awakening in an awkward position, Bob felt every muscle in his body screaming at him for sleeping on the floor. ‘Darn, I feel like I was just beaten up by one of Syndrome’s robots. I need a shower, from the smell, I think I will need a bath instead.’
Heading to the bathroom, Bob ran a hot water bath, adding a few drops of bubble bath, Bob was ready for a luxurious soak in the tub. Feeling all the kinks working their way out of his body, Bob soon felt the effects of exhaustion again overcome his body. Although luckily for him, Bob had enough willpower to stave off the effects. Scrubbing down, Bob tried to get rid of the heinous smell that pervaded the very air around him.
Taking a sniff of the air, Bob found that he had gotten most of the smell from his body. A few more minutes in the tub should be enough, humming quietly to himself, Bob thought about what he learned. ‘Okay no more sprinting, I need to work it out first. Secondly, I am starving, must have been all the energy I used. Lastly, I really have to get into town, the police job won’t wait forever.’
Draining the tub, Bob scrubbed it a bit to release the grime that had collected during his time in it. Feeling that the tub was at least clean enough for another person, Bob headed into the closet to get changed. When he was done, he headed downstairs to find that his breakfast was cold and nasty. ‘Guess I got to make some more food, hopefully Helen left some burgers in the freezer.’
Searching through his refrigerator, Bob soon found what he was looking for, ‘Yes, some good old-fashioned hamburgers, these will be awesome with some cheese and ketchup. Now where is that tray?’
Placing the burgers in the oven, Bob sat down and waited for the beef to cook. When he smelled the burgers cooking, it took all of Bob’s willpower to stop him from ripping off the oven door to eat them. When the correct amount of time had passed, Bob took the burgers out of the oven and started to make his favorite double patty cheeseburger.
Devouring the first in under 5 seconds, Bob started on his second with a more subdued pace. Although he was far from full, by the time he was full there were enough cheese wrappers to fill the trashcan to the top. Cleaning up, Bob threw away the cheese wrappers, put away the ketchup and the rest of the cheese, and washed the tray he cooked the burgers on.
‘Got to head downtown, what time is it? Hmm…about 3 in the afternoon…I can probably make it there.’
Making sure the oven was off, Bob headed toward his car. Driving through his neighborhood, Bob felt a sense of peace, it was nice to get away from all the evil villains and just have a nice drive through a good neighborhood.
Making his way onto the highway, Bob headed south into the heart of the city. Weaving his way through traffic, Bob soon became aggravated at the way a certain individual kept cutting in front of him. Taking the next exit off the highway, Bob decided to use the smaller alleyways, hoping to shave enough time to actually make it to the police station on time.
No matter how many shortcuts and secret passages that Bob knew, he couldn’t make it to the police station on time. He was late, about half and hour, ‘Okay, so I am late…that’s not too bad. I mean all cops are late right?’
Quickly finding a parking space, Bob headed inside, what he discovered was a chaotic room filled with cops and robbers. Heading to the person he identified as the clerk, Bob tried to get her attention, by the way she was looking away he believed he had failed. “Excuse me…Miss? Miss?”
Finally recognizing Bob, the young lady scrutinized him for a moment. “What do you want Pops?”
“Umm…I have an appointment with a Sergeant Peters?”
“Name?”
“Bob Parr.”
“Your late, Peters is through the door on your left. Go right in.”
Walking away, Bob was a bit shocked with the nasty attitude of the clerk, ‘Guess not everybody loves their job.’
Entering the office, Bob found a portly man sitting down and staring at a computer screen. “Excuse me…Sergeant Peters?”
“Yeah?”
“Sir, I have an appointment with you.”
“Name?”
“Bob Parr.”
“Your late, do you want the job?”
“Yes sir.”
“Don’t be late again. Okay?”
“Yes sir.”
“Qualifications?”
“Umm…no experience in the police field sir.”
“Your last job?”
“I was a insurance councilor.”
“I see, why should we hire you?”
“I am a quick learner, I also am highly skilled in hand to hand combat.”
“Hand to hand combat? Does this look like a war to you?”
“No sir.”
“Then who needs hand to hand combat, any experience with firearms?”
“No sir.”
“Hmm…I don’t believe you would be suited to be a police officer Mr. Parr.”
“Sir, if I may speak freely.”
“Your not under my command, speak as you like.”
“I am well suited to be a police officer, I have the skills, I just need the chance sir.”
“Hmmm…your enthusiasm is rare…I will give you 5 days to show me what you got. I suggest you work hard, I don’t like slackers.”
“Thank you sir. I will not slack sir.”
“Enough, go down the armory, go get a uniform. No guns though, I mean we need to do a background check before we can certify you for a weapon.”
“Yes sir.”
Walking toward the armory Bob tried to think about what he was going to do, ‘Being a policeman is a different thing then being a superhero. How will I cope with this?’ Pondering on his way to the armory Bob was surprised when he was knocked down, looking up he was confronted by a unsavory individual. “Sorry bout that, didn’t see you there.”
“I assumed so, what do you want rookie? Something wrong?”
“I don’t know what you mean sir. I did not wish for an altercation.”
“Stop using big words rookie, I mean how much education do you have in that thick skull of yours?”
“Sir, I don’t think you understand. It was just an accident.”
“I know idiot, but what are you going to do to make it up to me?”
“I said I was sorry sir. I don’t have anything else to offer you.”
“Oh you don’t? Well how bout I take it out of your hide rookie?” Taking a swing at Bob, the individual was surprised when he felt a blinding pain in his fist. “Oww…what the heck are you made of idiot?”
“I tried to warn you, I don’t know why you had to punch me.”
“Shut up, I’ll beat you down with my feet then.” Trying to tackle the superhero, the instigator felt like he hit a brick wall. Trying to trip up Bob, the individual was surprised that someone Bob’s size could have such good balance. “Are you done down there? I mean you are starting to look idiotic.”
“Shut your mouth, I am just getting started, when I am through with you, you will be crying for you mother.”
Having had enough of the man, Bob reached down and delivered a punch into the man’s temple. Bob used about 1 percent of his strength though, he didn’t want to kill the man just knock him out. When the man was properly subdued, Bob placed him in a closet and went on his way.
‘What stupid individuals populate this earth, I mean how dumb must he be? I told him numerous times to not hit me, then he refuses to listen and gets knocked out as a result.’ Finally arriving at the armory, Bob greeted the clerk and told the clerk about the situation with the sergeant. “Hmm…okay…take this…I think it should fit you.”
“Thank you, I will be on my way. Have a good day.”
Heading to the restroom to change, Bob stopped what he was doing when he heard a sound outside the station. ‘That sounds like metal, metal hitting metal, could it be another robot?’
Rushing out of the station, Bob was confronted with another of Syndromes masterpieces. ‘I guess being a cop will have to wait, hopefully Helen and the kids are nowhere near here.’
Heading down an abandoned alleyway, Bob changed into his super suit. Rushing back out of the alley, Bob only had one thing on his mind, ‘Can this day get any worse?’
