Author's Rambling – I love the film, so I'm paying homage to it. Notice that word there, homage. Basically, it means I don't own, so don't sue. If you did sue, all you'd get is about five pounds, my We Will Rock You soundtrack, (which I would kill you for if you took it) my Incredibles playstation game and an argument with my Dad's girlfriend. You can have the argument. In fact, if you don't sue me, you can have her. Get her out of my way. Please?
Full, Amended Summary – Violet's different now. She's really different. In fact, she's so different that she's attracting the attention of some characters she'd rather avoid. Some very shady characters.
But this character is not there to harm her. In fact, he needs her help. Will she give him the help he so desperately needs?
And after the help has been given, will she ever go back to her family?
Thank you all for the comments. Jeez, I have so many, thank you all! They are helping, even if I'm not responding to them. They make me write.
Hey, cd lover, who said she was gonna help him? Little thing called misdirection, dahling! And the song is Greenday's Boulevard of Broken Dreams. Beautiful, beautiful song. And the full lyrics are… here.
I walk a lonely road
The only one that I have ever known
Don't know where it goes
But it's home to me and I walk alone
I walk this empty street
On the Boulevard of Broken Dreams
Where the city sleeps
and I'm the only one and I walk alone
I walk alone
I walk alone
I walk alone
I walk a...
My shadow's the only one that walks beside me
My shallow heart's the only thing that's beating
Sometimes I wish someone out there will find me
'Til then I walk alone
Ah-ah, Ah-ah, Ah-ah, Aaah-ah,
Ah-ah, Ah-ah, Ah-ah
I'm walking down the line
That divides me somewhere in my mind
On the border line
Of the edge and where I walk alone
Read between the lines
What's fucked up and everything's alright
Check my vital signs
To know I'm still alive and I walk alone
I walk alone
I walk alone
I walk alone
I walk a...
My shadow's the only one that walks beside me
My shallow heart's the only thing that's beating
Sometimes I wish someone out there will find me
'Til then I walk alone
Ah-ah, Ah-ah, Ah-ah, Aaah-ah
Ah-ah, Ah-ah
I walk alone
I walk a...
I walk this empty street
On the Boulevard of Broken Dreams
Where the city sleeps
And I'm the only one and I walk a...
My shadow's the only one that walks beside me
My shallow heart's the only thing that's beating
Sometimes I wish someone out there will find me
'Til then I walk alone...
Sorry this took so long to get out. I'm really, really, REALLY sorry it's been so long. I shall try to keep updating regularly.
I've just come to the realization that I am a complete and utter bitch. Not because of taking so long. Friend stuff.
…o0O0o…
Violet turned in her sleep, unaware of the gadget scanning her room. Downstairs, Helen sat on the couch and fretted over her oldest child.
'Something's going to happen. I don't know what, but something big is coming. Will Violet survive it?' Somehow, she knew it would be with her oldest child that the problem was.
Opening the bedroom window silently, the gadget flashed a message to someone down on the sidewalk. As silently as the gadget, the figure on the sidewalk flew up to the window and climbed carefully through it. Hearing footsteps on the stairs, he crossed carefully to the door. Hearing the footsteps pass, the intruder crossed to the bed, and, looking down at the oldest Incredible child, he smiled. A real smile, for the first time since he'd been 'blown up' by the Incredibles.
Violet stirred, and taking a breath as her eyelids fluttered, he put his hand over her mouth. She woke up immediately, and stared at him through fearful eyes.
"If you try to scream, or struggle, I'll let off this bomb. You don't really want your family to die because you can't follow orders, now, do you?" he whispered lowly. Removing his hand, he saw her mouth open, and steeled himself for the scream that was sure to follow.
It never came. Instead, she asked, in a voice as low as his, "Who are you? Why are you here?"
"Get dressed, come with me, and everything shall be revealed." He turned his back, totally on trust. She could put a force field up, and blast him through the door. He was rather surprised when she didn't. Instead, she tapped him on the shoulder. Turning, he noted that she was ready to do battle with whatever he would throw her way.
"I see you're ready for battle, Miss Invisible." He gave a nod to her Incredibles outfit, and led her to the window.
...o0OOO0o...
Violet didn't know why she was actually complying with this masked stranger's commands, but there she was, following them like a robot.
"Hold on to me." The stranger whispered, crossing to the open window and climbing onto the window-ledge.
As he pulled her out onto the ledge after him, she instinctively wove her arms around his neck, and froze. "I won't let you go." He said softly, dropping off the ledge. A gadget, another one, fell from his belt and lay motionless on the floor. As she gasped, his boots kicked into gear, and they floated down to the sidewalk, where a vehicle was waiting.
Being a true gentleman, he opened the door for her, not even knowing why he was being so nice to the girl he was essentially kidnapping. She climbed in carefully, obviously expecting to be killed at any moment.
"Don't look so scared." He whispered once he was in the car, brushing her tangled hair behind her ear. "I'm not going to hurt you."
And it was true. No matter how scared Violet got, she couldn't help but feel that this man was one to be trusted.
On and on through the town they drove, till they were up to the mountains. "Where- where are we going?" Violet asked, through a dry mouth.
"We're going to the mountains. I thought even you would be able to see that, Violet."
She looked aside at him, and was greeted with a look of total concentration as the masked stranger guided the car through the small entrance in the biggest mountain.
Later, in what looked like an office, the stranger turned his back and exchanged his mask. He turned and realizing who he was, Violet put up her force field. "Syndrome!" She breathed.
" What, did you think I could actually be blown up? Come on, Vi, like I wouldn't have a gadget for that." He looked slightly proud as he said, "I have a gadget for everything."
"What do you want with me?" she asked, tremulously.
"A chance to get even. A chance to take back my life." He looked at her, an evil glint in his eyes. "A chance to finish what I started."
She backed away, against the wall. "What then, are you going to kill me?" she asked, sounding braver than she felt.
"No. What I have in mind may be slightly more enjoyable." He opened a door in the wall. "Dinner."
...o0OOO0o...
Back in the center of Metroville, Bob Parr, AKA Mr. Incredible, paced his living room. "It's just not like her! Where could she have gone!" He ranted and raved.
"I don't know, Bob!" Helen Parr shouted, finally brining Bob out of his tirade.
"OK." He took a few deep breaths, calmed himself down, and then carried on. "Let's think about this calmly. Where would she have gone?"
"Well-" Helen started.
"Mom! Dad!" Dash shouted, running into the room and holding out the gadget that had fallen. "This was in her room. What is it?"
Helen turned it over in her hands while Bob looked over her shoulder at it. As they turned it over, Bob spotted something. "There!" he cried, pulling it out of Helen's hands and turning it to the bottom. On the bottom, shining out as if it were a vision from a previous life, was the 'S', for 'Syndrome'.
A/R – this is more of a teaser than anything else. I'm sorry. I'm really really sorry.
There's a bloody cat outside, meowing. It's so annoying; it wakes me up at all hours of the night! So, sorry if this seems to move a bit too fast, or is crap. Sorry!
Signing out, until next chapter, (which may be anytime in the next few years,)
