Chapter 27: I Give Up.

"DASH!" Violet called as she ran toward him. The speedy Super looked up before turning his head.

His tears fell faster as he shouted, "Violet!" as he got up and ran towards her.

He jumped into her arms and hugged her neck tight, sobbing into her shoulder as she hugged him back and started to comfort him, "Shh...shh...it's going to be fine, Dash, I promise." she whispered as she sat on the ground with him in her arms and started to slowly rock him back and forth. Dash just continued to cry into her shoulder.

"I can't believe it! After everything I did for those people, including destroying the robot, they treat me like that?! WHY?!" Dash sobbed hysterically, his tears now soaking Violet's suit shoulder.

"Hey, calm down. I gave them a good talking to. That's why I came looking for you. I believe 100% that you didn't make that robot." Violet said with a smile.

Dash looked up at her and shook his head, "Thanks, sis, but the people of Metroville will never trust me again. You and Mom and Dad are better off going to fight crime without me from now on." he said with a frown.

Violet frowned, "What do you mean?" she asked, getting worried.

"Hey, look, I'll take you to the hospital to see Mom and Dad. They might know what to do." Violet said, trying to cheer him up. They went back to Metroville, sneaking through the shadows. At one point, Dash found a poster with his picture on it on the wall of an alley. It said, "WANTED" above it and below it said, "$100,000 REWARD"

Violet was disgusted, "Rotten losers." she said before she tore the poster down. Dash just kept his head down. Within minutes, they had reached a hospital for Supers.

"Excuse us. We're looking for Mr. Incredible and Elastigirl." Violet said.

The receptionist smiled, "Of course. They're in Room 27Z." she said. Dash and Violet found the room and walked in, seeing their parents awake.

"Mom! Dad!" Violet said. The two Incredibles looked and smiled when they saw their kids.

"Hi, children!" Elastigirl said.

The two kids hugged their parents, only for Elastigirl to gasp and ask, "Dash, what happened to you?!" as she looked at the cuts and bumps on his head and face. "He beat the robot, but those idiots we call our fans started throwing mess at him and ran him out of town crying!" Violet said angrily.

Mr. Incredible was shocked, "No! Really?!" he asked, starting to feel angry himself. Violet nodded before she reached into her pocket and pulled out the poster they had found.

"Look at this." she said as she handed it to her mother.

Elastigirl took it and examined it before she grew angry herself, "A WANTED poster. This is ridiculous!" she said before she threw it to the floor.

"Those people are going to be sorry they ever did this!" Mr. Incredible said, clenching his fist.

Violet shook her head, "That's not going to solve anything. I know the truth is out there somewhere. There has to be a way to clear Dash's name." she said, her parents agreeing.

Dash then looked up and said, "What's the point? They won't believe it. They're just gonna keep mistreating me." before Violet remembered what he said before.

"Dash, when I found you, what did you mean about us fighting without you?" she asked, catching her parents' attention.

"I mean that I give up being an Incredible. I'm not gonna be Speed Demon anymore." he said, taking off his mask.

His family gasped in shock, "Dash, you can't do that!" said Mr. Incredible.

"Yeah, honey. Just because you were mistreated because of an accident doesn't mean you should just give up." Elastigirl said.

"Besides that, we're not the Incredibles without you. It just wouldn't be the same without you, kid." Violet said, trying to make him feel better. Dash just kept his head down and he sighed. Suddenly, a loud crash was heard outside, drawing the Incredibles to the windows where they saw giant rocks falling from the sky and people running for their lives, screaming.
