All my life I lived in a supposedly, irregular family, but for once...just once. Why can't we just be normal? Well, I can't really complain, I can form into anything. I'm Jack, well; I have been Jack-Jack my whole life practically. Being a shape-shifter can be fun, but it has gotten me into trouble...

The sun peeked inside his room as he wearily arose from bed, another day of mayhem and violence. Yes, just what he needed on his first day of junior high. With a sigh he threw off the covers tangled about him, wishing he hadn't been born in such a family at times like this.

Stepping out into the hall he could overhear his sister Violet, whoever she was talking to was laughing. Violet still lived at home, even in her twenty's she happily stayed with the Parr family. Dash on the other hand couldn't leave if he wanted to, even in super speed his mother's arms pulled him back home.

He tiptoed over to Dash's room, good, he was still sound asleep in bed. Forming the next minute into a middle aged, blue eyed, blonde wavy haired guy. The change, as drastic as it was didn't surprise him one bit.

"And so- -"

Violet stopped her conversation with Helen, his mother. She smiled at him as he entered the kitchen. "Good morning," he smiled weakly, opening the fridge to find some milk. Being a baby that was what his mother fed him until the middle of his elementary year. So it was just normal to drink it, 'My growing Jack-Jack needs it', his mother's voice said in his mind.

"Milk? Wow Dash, thought you'd have a shot of espresso."

Jack shot a look at his sister, ignoring the little jokes his sister taunted her two brothers with. For being a grown up woman, she still was a little immature in ways.

"Just thought it would be nice for a change," He knew it wouldn't be much longer until the real Dash woke, so he chugged down the milk and ran out the door. The mistake he made was grabbing Jack's backpack.

"Dash, why did you- -" Helen began, laughing she shook her head in dismay, "I guess I'll never understand him." Violet nodded in agreement, her watched beep, time to start work.

She sighed, another day at work for her was a pain, but work needed to be done. Helping the family was the least she could do, after all, she did live here. Embracing her mom Violet took hold of her purse and opened the door to the garage.

In shock she saw Jack-Jack, ( She was so used to calling him that it slipped her mind) having trouble with his bike. First of all, she wished to know, why was he holding the pack Dash took. Second of all, why couldn't he just 'fly' to school by turning into some sort of bird.

"You're such a klutz Jack-Jack," She walked over to him grabbing his backpack, " How did you get this?" Jack ignored her, continuing to fix his bike. Violet angrily managed to put a force field around the bike, " Tell me, I know you heard me."

Rolling his eyes he looked at her, "Dash gave it to me."

"Why can't you just use your powers, for once," Violet knelt beside her brother, putting a warm hand on his shoulder. "Do you hate being an Incredible?" seeing the sudden look in his eyes she sighed, she knew he wished to be normal.

"I'm not going to school as a hawk with a backpack hanging from my beak," That gave Violet a slight chuckle, nudging him she jokingly made cawing sounds. Seeing it made a cute smile on her young brother's face.

"Hey, what the?! Jack-Jack not again!!" She turned seeing Dash stand at the doorway, looking back and forth between the two. Violet opened her mouth as if to speak, but the only thing that came out was laughter.

"You must really like pulling my leg," Dash mumbled, usually he would laugh as well but being older, he took to being partly mature.

"Now Dash, don't get all rushed up about it!" Violet noticed she said the word 'rushed', breaking out into laughter once more. With a sinking feeling in his stomach, Jack began to walk out to the sidewalk.

They didn't even notice, looking back at his home he could see his sister roaring with laughter. Though his older brother was nowhere to be seen. Turning around he saw his brother looking down at him.

"Sorry, I just, you know I can get angry," Dash laughed and gave a small smile, "you're usually the one to start the tantrums."

Jack looked down sadly, seeing his reflection in the water, caramel hair, baby blue eyes, and big ears. He didn't even look like one of the Incredibles, just a forlorn boy staring back at him.

"I need to go," without another word he took the form of a dog and with his teeth took hold of his bag. Dash wasn't following him, he couldn't smell his scent near him, with a whimper he ran off.

- -

"Dash, you know your brother has had it hard with his powers," Helen sighed, wishing Jack appreciated the gift he had, "Just don't upset him today again alright? We need someone like him to cheer us up this time of year. There have been more mayhem by the minute, and I don't think we could get through it without him."

Violet stood away from them, invisible to her family, though her dad wasn't there, he was on one of his 'business trips.' She bit her lip, it was past the time her brother should have come home by, no wonder her mom was in a wreck.

Jack looked at all the kids leaving the school, he just sat there on the steps as students seemed to walk past him. As if he was invisible, like Violet, rain started to fall and the day seemed to grow even worse.

Students poked him, taunting him, to take the shape of a hamster or a cat. Just to beat up on and laugh at, except one girl, she seemed to be fourteen and watched him secretly all day. Or what he thought she was doing, those gray eyes... he shivered. Not just from the cold of the weather, but of that girl.

Getting up on his feet he wished more than anything he could use his powers now. Walking far away from the students he focused on turning into a dog, but the cold seemed unbearable. Finally, he was able to change, feeling someone watching him as well.

Whipping around Jack snarled at the barren street, he knew something, or someone had his or her eyes on him. He didn't want to make any friends, all that the child wished was to be left alone.

"Some powers you got there," he turned once again seeing that girl, her gray eyes seemed to glow, her black hair was spiked.

"W-who are you?" Jack bared his teeth, just in case she would attack him at any given moment. His ears lay flat on his fur, seeing that he wasn't scaring her a bit.

"Call me Shadow," she calmly replied, she could almost lick the boy's fears. "I know who you are, and of the family you have," dark flames came from the palms of her hands and she smirked.

"Let's talk.... Shall we?"

- -

Dash wished he could run forever until his chest burned, but as much as he wished to, he could never get tired while running. The worse part of this day was that his brother had gone missing.

"I was a little angry. Happy now?"

Violet was at the doorway, leaning against the rim of the opening with her arms crossed. A stern look on her face, "Well just to inform you, mom wants us to look for Jack-Jack." It had never really hurt them until now to hear his name.

"Fine, but trust me, whatever Jack's got himself into. He can get out of," with a teasing grin on his face he poked his sister," Race ya! Can't catch me now huh?"

She felt a gust of wind bypass her and she smiled, seeing how her brother was always...well, he never really changed. Neither did she, it hurt her though that Jack disliked what he was given. Violet forced a smile on her face, she would do anything to find her brother.

Just so she could see a smile on his face once more...the last she ever saw him grin was as a baby. Tears welled in her eyes and she cried, not feeling so saddened in her whole life.
