Chapter Forty One: Family Affairs

A car smashed into the ground a few feet in front of Spec and Tortazo, causing the two to stumble back. El Macho roared angrily and picked up another car, throwing it towards them again.

Margo tried to catch it midair, but only slowed the fall. Seeing everything unfold, Antonio tackled her before the car crashed into the ground, and the two rolled across the pavement.

"Can't you just make him leave us alone!?"

"I would!" Margo snapped, tripping over her own feet again. "But he's doing a surprisingly good job of blocking me out!"

"Mierda, mierda, mierda!" Antonio cursed. "And I can't get close enough to taze him - even if that worked!"

"HOW DARE YOU!" El Macho roared. "YOU ARE NOT MY SON!"

"Well you're a shit dad!" Antonio roared back. "What made you think I wanted to be a supervillain!?"

"It's in your blood! You've betrayed me!"

Antonio grimanced and shielded Margo, both fending off Nightmares as they tried to creep in.

"YOU ARE NOT MY SON!"

"AND YOU ARE NOT MY FATHER!"

Tortazo screamed and lunged forwards, attacking his dad recklessly as Margo stood by and could only watch. The two were fast but sloppy - blows flying and bouncing off each other.

El Macho fought Antonio into a corner. Margo tried to get him to back off, but only succeeded in getting shoved into Antonio. He caught her, then tried to shield the telepath with his body as El Macho picked up another car to smash them with.

"I'm sorry I wasted our time, mi maravella," He whispered. Margo wrenched her eyes shut, waiting for the impact, but instead was hit by a wave of cold air.

"Is that Frost?" Antonio asked. "Or Flurry?"

El Macho still stood over them, the car high above his head. His eyes moved angrily, trying to figure out who had frozen him in a block of ice. Behind him, a familiar voice chuckled.

"That's my daughter!"

"Gru!" Margo screamed, hugging her dad as he deconstructed his pocket freeze ray. "You're okay!"

Before he could answer, a loud cracking interrupted as El Macho threatened to break free. Antonio activated his batons to another high level, then nodded at Margo and her father.

"Tortazo here, sir," He said.

'I've heard about you…" Gru muttered. Antonio cringed, and then El Macho broke free.

"ARRRH!"

He went after Gru this time, and the villain and his ex-colleague launched back into a fight. Gru's inventions gave him a heads up, but El Macho's strength kept him from truly pulling ahead.

"How do we take him down?" Margo muttered.

"Pa- El Macho prides himself on his indestructible skin. He had only a few weak points, and nobody ever hits there,"

"Where are they?!" Margo insisted, hand closing around something in her pocket.

"The injection sights," Antonio rattled off. "The back of his neck, his inner elbows, and hips,"

Margo nodded and took a deep breath, then took off running. Antonio screamed for her to stop, but she ignored him. Gru's eyes widened in fear as he saw his daughter, and El Macho turned to see what the commotion was about.

He backhanded her, then seized as Margo hit the concrete. Looking down, his eyes widened as he saw a small lipstick tube sticking out of his right hip.

On the ground, the telepath looked up weakly and grinned. A small line of blood trickled from her mouth, and Spec held up the cap and clicked.

Throes of electricity suddenly seized through his body, and El macho stumbled to his knees before passing out completely. Antonio and Gru ran to help Margo to her feet, and the telepath smiled at her dad and held up the lipstick cap.

"Taser works,"


"Just like old times, ey Lucius?" Mr Incredible yelled as he punched through a Nightmare. Frozone rolled his eyes and conjured another ramp, spinning off it on his snowboard to take out a group of three.

"We've got incoming!" Elastigirl yelled, gesturing towards the group of hypnotized supers coming towards them. "Five bogeys plus Nightmares!"

Chaos broke loose as the two groups collided. Reflux's lava blasts disintegrated the ice Frozone had already put down, while Voyd's portals gave the rest of her team a leg up against the Senior Supers. Elastigirl had to be on top of her game, flinging her arms and legs around to take out the supers coming from the portals.

Reflux expelled another blast of lava, and Frozone yelled and slid back.

"Oh hell no!" Frozone cried, blasting a huge chunk of ice into the older super. "I did not sign up for this!"

With a gurgle, Reflux toppled back as he was frozen to the side of a building. Halfway there, his goggles got stuck in the ice and pulled away from his face, the light dying from the lenses. Frozone shook off his hands and spared a few glances at the old man, then went back to fighting Nightmares.

Krushauer and Brick - both heavy-set supers in their own right - took on Mr Incredible. With their lack of training, it should have been easy for him, but Brick packed a heavy punch, and Krushauer kept using his powers on the road around them.

As he stumbled again, Mr Incredible braced for the impact of two separate punches.

"Hello!"

He watched Dimension and Phantom teleport into the middle of the fight. Before Krushauer could get a hold on him, Dimension had teleported behind Brick. Mr Incredible knocked her out when she turned to look for the younger hero, sending her goggles flying down the street.

With another 'pop' Wilbur landed on Krushauer and used his entire body weight to yank the bigger man backwards. He grabbed the goggles and back flipped off, landing on the ground lightly, but definitely a pose that Bob recognized.

"Where did you learn that?"

"Vi- That is an excellent question!" Dimension yelped, snapping the hypnotizing goggles.

"Y'know kid, you aren't so bad," Bob nodded as Wilbur's mouth dropped open.

At the last fight, things weren't going great for Elastigirl. He-lectrix's lightning shocked her joints and made it so she couldn't use her powers as fast, and Voyd was way too good at directing her own attacks back.

She heard the pop of Wilbur teleporting in, but hadn't turned to see. Suddenly, a purple bubble appeared around the lightning super - Violet materializing in front of her mom.

Voyd opened another portal, but Violet threw the shield through before the portal-walker could move. It smashed into the blue haired woman and knocked her to the ground. Phantom dropped the shield, and all of He-lectrix's built up lightning shocked them both and fried their goggles as it knocked them out.

"NO!"

Everyone's head swiveled towards the noise, just in time to see a figure in dark clothes and a mask go running away from the battle and into an alleyway.

"Screenslaver!" Phantom yelped.

"We got the nightmares sweetie," Elastigirl said. "You two go!"

Nodding, Phantom grabbed Dimension by the hand and the two teleported away. Another horde of Nightmares crept in from the shadows, and Frozone laughed.

"It's nothing like old times!"
