Anguishing Aftermath

After that incident about the fire, they took Dash to a super named Medicine Man. A Native American Super who works at the Hospital for Injured Supers.

"So, Dash, you claimed to have broken your leg." asked Medicine Man.

"Uh, yeah. . . OW!" Dash cried in pain.

"Okay there son. Don't worry, I will have your leg fixed, for I am the Medicine Man."

Medicine Man placed his hand on Dash's broken leg. He gently rubbed Dash's leg back and forward.

"Yo Doc," Dash wondered, "are you sure you can repair my leg?"

"Dash," Medicine Man told him, "they don't call me Medicine Man for nothing. I can heel broken bones faster than the mighty horse."

After a minute of rubbing Dash's leg, he was done.

"All done!"

"Wow! I didn't even feel a thing."

"Well, I am the Medicine Man."

"Yeah. . .you told me that already."

"Oh I did? Sorry."

"Well. . . thanks." Dash said, leaving the room.

Dash went to the Incredibile where Bob, Helen, and Violet were waiting. The drive back was a quiet drive. No one would even look at Violet. When they got back to their house, Violet finally decided to talk to her parents.

"Mom, Dad. . .I. . ."

Elastigirl and Mr. Incredible stared at Violet like she killed her own brother.

"Okay," she replied, "I think I'll just be in my room."

The next day was the funeral of Grandpa Parr. Everyone came dressed in black . It was a very mournful day for the Parrs. Violet couldn't help but cry the entire day. She felt that her grandfather's death was her fault. When they got back home, Dash went to his room. Helen and Bob took Violet in the living room.

"Mom, dad, let me explain okay?"

"SILENCE!" shouted Helen

"Mom," Violet replied in a soft voice. "What was I supposed to do, I only had enough energy for one force field."

"AND YOU SHOULD'VE USED IT TO SHIELD YOUR GRANDFATHER!" screamed Bob.

"WHAT WAS I SUPPOSED TO DO WITH DASH, HE'S MY BROTHER YOU KNOW!"

(slap)

Helen gave Violet a big slap right across her face. Violet fell back on the sofa. She began to let out a little sob. She rubbed her hurt face.

"Go to your room." grunted Bob.

"Why?" Violet asked standing up. "Is it just because I decided to refuse to follow your instructions just to save someone I love? Is that why?"

(slap)

Another slap sent by Helen sent Violet to the floor. She got up and ran to her room. She slammed her door, crashed on her bed and cried for the rest of the day.

The next morning, Violet woke up to find the house completely deserted. She looked around the house but no sign of her mom, dad, Dash, or Jack-Jack. She was only able to distinguish a table broken in half. She found a note on the fridge.

"Vi,

It's Dash. I couldn't sleep last night and I went to get a quick drink of water. When I entered the kitchen, I heard mom and dad. They were talking about you and the incident about the fire. Dad said you deliberately (whatever that means) disobeyed him. (Kinda reminds me of the Lion King). Anyways, he was very angry at you. That probably explain the broken table if you are wondering. Mom actually listened to you and thought of what you just said. Well anyways, I over heard that we were going to leave to go somewhere and we were going to leave you as your punishment. Sorry Vi, but you know how dad is when you ignore his orders. I also heard what you said yesterday. That you decided to save me instead of grandpa. I understand. You did what you had to do. I just want to say thanks and... uh... okay here it goes... I love you too Vi.

Dash"

Violet felt a small tear coming down her eye. After a terrible yesterday, she now knows somebody still loves her.

Violet decided to go for a walk to Edna's house to pick up her new costume. She got dressed and headed straight to the door. When she opened it she was surprised to see who was standing in front of her. It was Violet's boyfriend, Tony Rydinger.
