Chapter 10: Realizations

Bob went back to work, sat on his office chair and thought about what he just saw. Lucius was on the line, calling to check on Bob.

"Hey Bob, how you holding up?"

"Not so good, Lucius. I just saw my wife in bed with another man."

"So sorry man. Helen's a good woman, I know she wouldn't do anything like that. She doesn't seem like the kind of woman who would do such a thing."

"Well apparently, she is. She was sleeping with Victor Grant, Lucius. Victor Grant!"

"The hottest man alive? That guy?"

"Yes"

"Did she mention how long?"

"Closing in on two weeks now…"

"But come on, Bob. For 25 years, she has never ever cheated on you until now. You must be at fault here somehow. How long's it been since you and Helen had sex?"

"Last week…"

"Before that?"

"2 years."

"How often did you do it?"

"Almost everyday…"

"See, she got used to it. I'm no expert, but I personally see to it that my wife gets the sex she's used to, and then sometimes, I spice it up. But tell me, Bob, was she sorry when you caught her? Did she seem like she wanted to take it back?"

"Yes, and after how many years, I can tell when she is."

"Then go to her, do what I do with my wife. Give it to her the way she's used to, and then some. Go Bob, I bet she's waiting for you."

"Ok, thanks Lucius."

Bob was walking down the street, thinking about what happened, and was wondering where this leaves Helen. If they can stay together, why Victor didn't ask Helen to lock any doors in the house,and he realized. Victor was a super. He had a mind power. The contraption was beside Helen and Victor. "Victor Grant is IQ! Helen!" Bob ripped off his clothing, and put on his mask, then as he reached the bridge on the way to their house, IQ greeted him, with Helen in his grasp, unconscious.

"You figured it out?"

"Yes, now put her down!"

"Like this?"

"Helen!" Bob ran as he caught his wife and laid her down, and kissed her forehead. She regained consciousness and saw Bob holding her.

"I'm sorry…Bob"

"I forgive you, honey, I love you, now go get dressed, and get the contraption, I'll distract him."

"I love you Bob" Helen ran off and followed Bob as he stood toe to toe with IQ.

"Let's go IQ! You and me!"

"I'd be glad to!"

Bob and IQ fought, with IQ getting the upper hand, never getting hit. Bob grazed him with some near misses, but never hurt him. He caught Bob who was running towards him, and held him by the throat. He slapped Bob a few times and he punched him in the gut. He then placed Bob near the ledge of the bridge, threatening to throw him off, down to the deep river.

"Any last words, Incredible? Hahaha!" IQ said as Bob saw Helen's hand creeping up on IQ.

"Yeah. This!" Bob said as he pressed the tracker for Mr. Dicker and the SWAT team, while Helen wrapped herself around IQ's body, rendering him immobile. Helen locked in the contraption into IQ's neck, and Bob saw Helen whisper something to IQ before she unwrapped herself from him and went beside Bob.

"You will never imprison me!"

"Oh yes we will…Victor!" Elastigirl shouted at the powerless IQ. Just as the SWAT team closed in on IQ, he stood and seemingly forced the SWAT team to open fire on him much to everyone's surprise and relief.

"I love you, Bob, and I'm so sorry, for everything."

"I love you, Helen, I always did and I always will. But what did you whisper to him, though?"

"That no one could ever replace you, and what he saw was only an illusion of me..."

"I love you Helen, let's go home."
