Chapter 2
The next morning the Parr family climbed aboard the government plane. Helen threw the pack that contained all the things she needed for Jack-Jack into the tiny cockpit closet, even if she had suspicions that she wouldn't be able to use it. Bob followed his wife into pilot area and claimed one of the seats. The kids picked a seat and sat down, Jack-Jack with Violet.
"How long will it take to get there?" Violet asked.
Helen put on headphones as she answered, "Shouldn't take more than an hour. I'll let you know when you should bring up your field."
Violet nodded. Bob started up the plane and soon they were in the air, heading to their destination.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~40 minutes later~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Dash, Violet, and Jack-Jack had fallen asleep during the ride and they were jolted awake when the plane shook. Jack-Jack let out a fearful cry.
"It's alright, Jack-Jack. It's okay," Violet whispered as she comforted him.
The plane shook some more and beeping occurred.
"Mom!" Dash cried out.
"It's alright! It's just the field. Violet, get ready," Helen said as she pushed buttons and turned dials. "Bob, the radio's out."
Bob tore the headphone off his head and turned to Violet, "Do it, now."
Violet nodded and brought up her field with a flick of her wrist. The blue bubble-like field expanded from her and covered the entire plane. The plane continued to shake more and then suddenly it nosedived towards the island as it was pulled magnetically.
"It didn't work!" Violet cried out.
"Keep the field up!" Helen demanded. "Bob, we have to abort the plane."
Bob nodded in agreement and turned to Helen. "Get to the kids," he said.
"Bob?"
"I'll be fine, now go. Hurry!"
Helen shook her head, "You can't! We're in this together!"
"We are! I promise," Bob said as he bent over and kissed his wife. "I can control the crash. Now go."
Helen relented and left Bob alone. She joined the kids.
"Isn't Dad coming?" Dash asked.
"Not this time. Vi, make sure you keep the field around the plane," Helen said to the elder kids as she took Jack-Jack into her arms.
Violet nodded with worry. The plane shuddered and they looked out the cockpit window to see the island coming at them. Bob jumped out of his seat and headed towards them just as the plane hit the ground.
