John Edsworthy sighed as he looked out at all of the supers that helped protect the world from the forces of evil. He couldn't believe he had to do this. They trusted him to keep their identities secret, and he had to reveal them to their colleagues just because of the stupid legislation that prohibited super marriages. He hated it with every fiber of his being, but he had to do it.

"I'm sure you have all guessed that this meeting is due to the new law that's been passed. It pains me to have to do this, but I'm afraid that I must reveal your identities. According to the law, every super must know their fellow supers identities so no mishap will occur. I assure though, this precious information will not leave this room."

The reaction to John's speech was varied. Some were stunned. Others were outraged. Nevertheless, the feelings of betrayal and insecurity were acute.

Helen listened in horror as the names were called out. How could they do this? Then she heard a name she recognized.

"Lucious Best — Frozone…"

Lucious? That was Bob's best friend. Surely Bob wasn't a super? It had to be a coincident. She didn't know what she would do if she couldn't be with Bob. 'No, Helen, don't even consider it. Bob is not a super!'

The list went on and on. The flexible heroine anxiously listened for what she hoped would not come.

"Robert Parr — Mr. Incredible…"

'NOOOOO!' She broke down. The world around blurred as tears came to her eyes. She brought her knees up to her chin, folded her arms on her legs, laid her head down, and sobbed in anguish.

Bob listened on to the list in outrage. This was beyond betrayal. How dare they? They had no right whatsoever! As his name was called, his anger grew to new heights. However, he froze when he caught sight of Elastigirl. She was curled into a fetal position and looked completely heartbroken.

For all his denials to Lucious, he could not lie to himself. Yes, he loved Helen with all of his heart, but he also loved Elastigirl. To see her so distraught broke his heart. He was so caught up in worry for her that he nearly missed the next name.

"Helen Truax — Elastigirl…"

His heart shattered in that moment. Silent tears streamed down his face as he maneuvered his way through the throng of supers to where Helen sat. Upon reaching her, he immediately wrapped her in his strong arms and they wept together.
