Sup guys, Lighting Wolf here, back with another story, this one about Incredibles. Enjoy the 900-word chapter. I don't own Incredibles, Disney, Pixar, Brad Bird and a few others do.

(Unknown city, 2 days before events of Incredibles 2.)

There were many new heroes in the world, there used to be dozens if not hundreds of heroes around the world.

But that was years ago, and now like embers, they were burning and dying out.

These were the thoughts of the hero by the name of Incendiary AKA Nathan Hunter.

He looked out the window of his apartment, he made good money as a fireman but he didn't entirely enjoy his role in life.

"Yeah, being a blasted Fireman…. If the chief found out…. I'd be out of a job so fast…"

Nathan muttered, he sighed and rubbed his temples on his head as he looked out on the city.

"Maybe I should…. No, I couldn't, that would just give up my powers faster…"

Nathan muttered, he knew of the older heroes, he was younger than them, 20 or so to be exact.

"What to do is the question…. So many choices, but so little success in trying them…."

Nathan muttered, he wanted to help people, he didn't see his powers as a curse nor a reason to hide at all, there was nothing he could do at the moment, nothing that wouldn't hurt people who wish to do the same thing.

That didn't mean he wasn't allowing himself to try, none of his fellow Firemen knew the secret he held, something he was grateful for.

Just as Nathan was starting to think of what he could do next, the phone rang, he questioned answering it before deciding it was worth it.

"Hello?"

Nathan asked as he picked up the phone and put it to his ear, he turned to look out the window once again.

"Nate, I heard you're going on vacation soon, just calling to ask why?"

Nathan heard from the other side of the phone, he sighed, that wasn't one of his friends, it was the chief, the last person he wanted to talk to at this moment.

"Uh…. Well, the last fire we dealt with injured my shoulder, and I needed some time to deal with it and get it looked at."

Nathan lied, he didn't want to tell the chief that some of his coworkers were starting to think something was going on with his powers.

"Oh, I hope you recover in time for the next fire, don't want you to have to retire because of a blasted shoulder wound."

The chief muttered, Nathan chuckled and turned to a picture on the wall from his first day as a fireman.

"Eh, it's going to take a lot more than that to take me out, boss… I'll let you know when it heals up again for me to use it properly…. See you in a few weeks or so."

Nathan said before hanging up the phone and sitting on his bed with a sigh.

He was never this annoyed or depressed, not like this, he was usually determined or somewhat cheerful and bright.

He chalked it up to once again being at a crossroads and having no idea where to go from where he was at the moment.

He wondered if he could get an hour or so of sleep, anything to take his mind off his problems.

(1 hour later.)

It was the news report that had just come on that had woken Nathan up, he turned and looked at the tv in front of him, on it was the same news report that had caused him to question his place in current history.

The Incredibles and the hero Frozone facing the massive battle robot in the city of Metroburg, a battle that had proved that supers had a place in life unlike the politicians and others who stood against them so stubbornly.

It made Nathan snort in annoyance at the topic, they cared more for charts and damage costs then the fact that human beings and animals could have been killed if the Supers in question hadn't stepped in.

"Care about losing a few dollars over letting a few people burn to death or someone getting wounded by a few burglars…. It's crazy… And stupid… So insanely stupid…"

Nathan muttered while looking at the tv, he was annoyed, they didn't risk their lives, they didn't see the troubles heroes like him and others went through to keep people safe.

They had no right to decide if people were or should be able to do what they do, they only cared more about money and their own goals.

Though Nathan knew he wasn't 100% right, he couldn't tell what the government truly thought of heroes half the times, he had no right to judge them.

"Hmm… Always the heroes who have the last laugh…."

Nathan muttered, he wondered if he had time to try and get in being a hero even once today.
