It was a relatively quiet evening inside the Parr household. Violet was watching TV, Dash was in his room reading a comic book and Helen Parr was busy washing the dishes while keeping an eye on Jak-Jak, who was sitting right beside her. It was only with Bob's arrival home that the family was shocked back into a more altruistic attitude.
"Hey everybody, I'm home and I have great news!" Bob barely contained himself from shouting it out loud. Instead of waiting for a reply he continued speaking as Dash appeared in the living room. "I've just heard news from Lucius, this city has officially declared the willingness to allow superhero acts thinin the city! The law has officially declared acts of superheroisme legal."
This, catching everybodies' attention, caused each family member to come running andasking questions at the same time. Helen was barely able to quiet the kids before she could speak to her husband sternly: "How long ago?"
"What, how long ago wha?"
"How long ago was this information released?" She went straight up into his face as she said this. "I want proof of this; I'm not entirely back on trusting terms with you Bob."
Bob sighed and put a hand on Helen's shoulder. "I'm sorry Helen, you probably have reason not to entirely trust me after Syndrom's-…"
"…-Obviously." Started Helen cutting him off.
"…-But things have changed now. I already promised you, I will only workon being adedicated father."
There was silence between them for a good moment before Dash broke in. "So we're allowed to start our hero work in public again?"
"Again?!" Started Violet towards her brother, "We never participated in 'hero' work before. We were doing it illegally remember?"
"So now we get to do it for real? YEAH! LETS GO STRAIGHT AWAY!!!!" Dash ran straight to his room and disappeared. Violet, not amused at all, carefully ran after him shouting about him being immature and that lives would be at risk.
Meanwhile, Helen and Bob both sighed, seeing their children so enthused. Jak-Jak gave a funny smile in Helens arms.
"Well?" Asked Bob, turning to Helen.
"Well…I guess it wouldn't hurt. It is a Friday…" She looked up at him, carefully controlling an urge to smirk.
"Well then, now or later?"
"Few minutes. I'm just going to call for a baby sitter, Jak-Jaks got some maturing to do first." Helen gave Bob a short kiss on the lips before disappearing into the kitchen. Bob smiled as he walked through the hallway into his office and stared at the numerous clippings of old hero work he used to do. He smiled at the fact that the old days might once again become present…
The sky was almost pitch black, it was late at night. If it weren't for technology, there would be no way for humans to fight or see in such conditions. Luckily, the buildings and most of the block of the city's district were lit up with intense searchlights focusing on the Old Gothic Art Museum.
Police cars and vans were parked everywhere around the building, making sure there was no way of escape. Swat vans had just arrived and trained professionals were exiting them heading to each of the entrances to the building.
"Unit 6 here, we have the building surrounded. Requesting further backup, over."
"Command 9 here, what is the need for further backup, over."
"Enemies are well armed and three officers have already fallen, over."
"Roger that, reinforcements are on the way, over."
Just as one of the officers finished the transmission there was a huge explosion on the side wall of the museum. Huge blocks of granite flew in every direction as smoke clouded the area. Gunfire was suddenly heard as people wearing masks holding AK-47's ran out through the openingstreaming fire upon the police vehicles.
"We need backup NOW! Over!"
"Backup has arrived buddy." The officer looked over his radio to see a giant man in a red uniform standing over him. "We'll take it from here officer."
"Mr. Incredible!"
"Yup, we're back in business! Though, it seems now…" Mr. Incredible then looked away for a moment, towards the gunfight.
The officer wore an expression of confusion before he saw several clear white objects forming in places where the enemies were rushing out of the building. He finally recognized it as ice.
"Hey, Frozone, didn't think you were going to make it!" Mr. Incredible called over as Frozone froze two more criminals in their tracks.
"Hey, I wasn'tplanning on it!My 'wife' is working tonight!"
Elastigirl flew out of some debris as she stopped some more granite stones from falling onto helpless police officers. "Bob! What are you doing? We're working here you know?"
"Oh, yeah," started Mr. Incredible as he chucked a huge stone to block another hole the criminals were trying to escape out of, "Forgot." Helen groaned as she made a lunge towards another enemy.
Dash and Violet wereso concentrated on their tasks that they didn't join the friendly hero conversation. Violet was using a huge shield stopping many shots from the enemies as Dash instantly ran through grabbing their guns away out of their hands. He quickly deposited them beside the S.W.A.T. vans and ran back to collect some more. As he ran back and forth, Violet heard him counting and she groaned at his 'childish behavior'.
It had already been a goodten minutes since theface off between well armed criminals andthe super-heroeshad begunwhile there was still no sign of it ending. Bob chose then to voice his concern.
"Helen, they're not stopping over here. How many left?"
"I don't know!" Yelled Helen from a little ways away. "How was I supposed to know?"
"Hey," called frozone now, "I haven't seen this many bad guys since that event in Italy fifteen years ago. We've got to get inside somehow.!"
"Good Idea Lucius, give me a few seconds will you?" Bob heaved a huge boulder at another wall that had been blown up and quickly blocked the criminals from gettingout that way. He ran over a few meters until he could see his daughter. "Violet!"
"Huh? Oh, dad! What is it?" She worked hard to keep her force-field up while talking to her father.
"These guys aren't stopping, we've got to get someone inside."
"Okay dad, I'm just asking though...well, are there usually this many, well, people in a robbery of a museum? There must be, like, fifty of them we've had to take down by now!"
"No, something's up Vi, I'm leaving it up to you to find out. Go! Now!"
Violets force-field disappeared as she turned invisible. Her father compensated for giving the asphalt a good strong punch with a slight angle to create a huge stone wall of pavement erupting from the ground giving the police officers some new form of cover.
Violet didn't need a second warning, she ran straight forward, nearly colliding with several soldiers, as she ran face-first into the building. She climbed up a pile of rubble and made it in through one of the holes in the walls just before another group of criminals were rushing out.
She now crept quietly forward, through the vast halls of the museum. With sound echoing off the walls, she knew that from the sounds of it there were many people inside other than just her. As she walked down the hallway, she spotted another group of soldiers huddled beside a wall. She watched as they quickly fanned out from they huddled position and their explosive was visible. Violet ducked out of the way just as another opening through the wall was formed.
Violet had to contain herself from interfering, she could not ruin her cover in a place like this. She carefully walked silently towards the inner rooms of the museum. She had a good idea that what she was looking for would be there since the most noise was coming from that direction.
Suddenly, the hallway came to an abrupt end and made a sharp right turn. When she stepped to the right she had passed through a huge doorway and came face to face with a huge domed room with at least thirty different people walking around carrying cash or valuable paintings.
Violet looked around. She was sure that there would have to be a leader in a place like this. Then, she spotted him. It wasn't actually that hard, she didn't know how she could miss him.
In the very middle of the room, talking into what looked to be a microphone attached to his helmet, was a huge man who looked like a cyborg, seriously. Huge plates of armor wrapped around him with a chrome finish, he seemed to be directing his 'troops'.
Violet saw the person, and she immediately got the impression she wouldn't want to fight this guy alone. Yet something inside her was telling her to take him down quickly and end all this. She had a very quick dilemma on what to do before she chose the latter. She pressed twice on the yellow 'i' on her costume signaling the tracer and then rushed straight towards the boss while still invisible.
She only had a split second's warning to let her know to quickly dodge to the side when a huge blast of ammunition streaked where she had just been running. She quickly hid behind the nearing painting and now heard a very distinct and low voice talking and resounding through the walls.
"Hey, petit, I saw you. Don't think you can hide, I saw you, super." Violets breath seemed to freeze as she heard the voice talking. She was as silent as she could be as she chose not to move. The voice continued. "Ah, so now you're hiding are you? Don't think you can, I don't know how you got in here, but this is the end for you, my little." She heard automatic fire and several paintings and portraits around her were shattered by huge bullets. She didn't want to think about what kind of caliber they were. She inched away from the paintings with holes now riddled through them.
"Stop this petty hiding, fight me like a superhero. Or is it that, you're inexperienced. You must be one of 'their' children eh?" Violet was getting worried, she didn't know what he was talking about. She quickly reminded herself of her cause and her mission and it helped to calm her somewhat. She blocked out everything the man was saying now and focused on a strategy.
He must of saw her when she originally ran around one of the paintings, causing it to fall down, she thought to herself. No worry then, just sneak up on him.
She carefully edged around the painting, and she could now see him. He was quite big, about as big as her father. Plus, the armor made him look even stronger. She quickly edged up on him as he continued speaking. "There's no use in hiding. You might as well come out, otherwise, when I do find you, I'll have to kill you slowly-…"
Violet was only a couple of meters away from him when he turned around. She stopped in her place and froze. He didn't just turn around, he turned and looked straight at her. It was then that she noticed the goggles he was wearing. He aimed his huge weapon straight at her chest and Violet didn't dare move.
"I've found you my petit." As he spoke, Violet saw what he was wearing. Nightvision goggles. He could sense her heat waves! She mentally scolded herself and she wondered if her mother would punish her for missing such a vital factor while in suchthis situation.
"This is the end for you." Violet didn't have time to move as the boss squeezed the trigger and bullets rang out towards her. Violet instantly roze her shield and barely held off the wave of lead projectiles streaming at her.
Suddenly, all the bullets ceased, she could no longer feel pressure against her force-field.
First, she noticed she was visible again, and that all the men in the room were now staring straight at her through her bluish see-throughshield. Secondly, the huge cyborg's gun had stopped firing.The cyborgthen gave a small smirk of triumph, it seemed, before he wavered and then fell with a deafening crash to the ground. As he fell, she watched as several armor plates had suddenly burst apart, like they had been cut open.
She looked to her right to see, not a soldier, not a police man, not a super, but someone else. Wearing an overlarge black cloak going well past his feet, a boy about four inches taller thanshe stood, wearing black hair flowing over one eye like that of a waterfall.
Violet could only stare at him in confusion. He was focusing on the now dead body of the cyborg when Violet caught his attention. He looked at her and the one visible eye that Violet could see on his face widened somewhat in surprise. It then went back to regular focus, that of a calm demeanor.
Violet didn't have time to call out, the figure crouched for half a second before jumping straight up and bursting out through the top of one of the museum's roof windows. It was at least fifty feet above them.
"…what…" Violet's words died in her mouth as huge explosions erupted around her. Only now did she realize her position and immediately roze her force-field around her as a huge block of ice froze the outside of the shield.
"I got o-…HOLY MOLY! Violet?" Frozone came into view through the dust in front of Violet's father and mother. Dash was already on the other end of the room, collecting more rifles to add to his little 'victory collection'.
"Vi! I was so worried!" Helen came up quickly and spotted the ice around her. "LUCIUS!!!"
"Heh…yes elasti-...?"
"Did you just aim one of your ice-spears at my daughter?"
"Well, heh, I was kind of blinded by the-…"
"No matter," intervened Bob to Frozone's gratitude, "We're all safe now. Besides,…" he motioned his head at Frozone now, "Who took care of that criminal in the middle now?"
"Whew, that some butt ugly-…" Lucius started…
"No language in front of children, please." Helen dismissed politely. "It's obvious who took care of the leader Violet, you did good work today and this was tough work even for your parents!"
"Huh? Wait, no-…" Vi started.
"Congradulations Violet!" Said Lucius, sounding proud.
"Wait, I didn-…"
"That's my daughter." Started Bob…
"WAIT!!!" They all shut up quickly. "Um…sorry. I…I-I just, no. I didn't get him. I just distracted him. Some else-…someone else got him."
"Huh?" Bob looked questioningly at his colleagues.
"What are you saying honey?" Asked Helen.
"Well, I-…I don't know, someone else just came and…I don't know." Violet bowed her head and Helen raised it up again.
"It doesn't matter Vi, all that matters is we're safe, okay?"
Violet hesitantly nodded just as Dash came running up to them speaking very fast again: "I got one hundred and sixty seven rifles from them dad! One hundred and sixty seven! That's a whole lot! Plus, I made a deal with one of the officers that he would give me a dollar for each one!!! And that evil dude wasn't even human! He has all sorts of gooey stuff coming out of him. It's gross and-…"
"Slow down sweetie." Helen said quickly as she was pulled by him to examin the corpse. "Speak slower so your mother can understand…"
As they walked away, Bob and Lucius both sighed before resuming a conversation about 'wives'. Violet stood, looking up at the hole in the roof.
"Dad?" Bob turned away from his conversation to look at Violet.
"What is it sweetie?"
"Um, do you think it's…um, possible that other supers would try to come here since superheroes, are, well, officially allowed to continue their, um, work, in this city? Do you think?"
"Well, it's possible sweetie." Bob smiled at his younger daughter. "I know that If I were given the chance, I sure would." He laughed and turned back to Luciusas they began to talk while walking out of the museum. Violet quickly saw that her mother and Dash were also exiting, probably before more law enforcement got to the scene. Violet quickly disappeared and ran after her parents. Her mind full of uneasy thoughts.
Up, on top of the roof. Another lone figure watched the young girl disappear through the whole he had just made in the roof. He smiled, a calm and compassionate one as he rose up and disappeared himself by jumping away into the black sky.
A/N: Well, thanks to one review I have added my first supervillain. IF you give me a review with a good supervillain idea, I will use it, no doubt. Though, these ones I must warn you, will only be prologues to the upcoming ones. I have a real storyline planned that can only come into effect after a few, shall we say, episodes. Call 'em chapters if you want to, but these would be good episode formats dont you think? lol. It would be kinda scary yet sad if they actually did make a TV show out of this movie.
I also would like the help of any prereader fo rthis story, if you want to. I add my thanks to K9 the First for his supervillain idea. Credit always goes to my sponsors, lol. He was kind of well thought-out though. I wonder if he was taken from a video game or sumthin, that's why I was hesitant to add too many details.
So, continue reviewing. I look to the reader's aid. If all turns out correctly, the next episode will contain a prologue to, duh duh dunnnn, the DOPPLEGANGER!!!! And yes, you may already have a hint about this supervillains ability from the name, lol.
