Chapter 54: Grounded.
Back in the present, Dash's eyes widened as he remembered it all. His dad looked shocked before he turned around and looked at Dash with anger.
"Now, if you'll excuse me, I have Velocipods to build." the soldier said before he flew off at a fast speed.
"I'll catch him!" Dash said, fixing to run off after him when he was stopped by his father.
"You're not going anywhere, Dash. I am very disappointed on you. What were you thinking, doing that?!" Mr. Incredible asked angrily.
"I don't know. I just wanted to prove I was better than him, I guess." Dash said, worried about his parent's annoyance.
"Yeah, and now look at what happened! This soldier's attack is your fault, all because you're too immature to care about the consequences of smartmouthing a bad guy! You think you can just do it and get away with it. Well, guess what, you can't! You made the exact same mistake I made with Syndrome, something I told you never to do! What if someone had died today?! Different story, because that's not just on you, but all of us! A family that fights together stays that way!" Mr. Incredible lectured, his voice rising, causing Dash to back up.
"When you started bonding with Violet, we thought you were maturing, but I guess we were wrong. You're clearly not cut out to be a superhero. I'm gonna have to ground you for two months." Mr. Incredible continued.
Dash was terrified, "Two months?! Why?!" he asked.
"Because, first, you caused a supervillain to be born, and then, you motivated him to do all this." Mr. Incredible said. It was then that Dash clenched his fist.
