Discovery
Suddenly, crowds of people applaud for the Incredibles effort in defeating Sam Urai. Few of them are reporters and newscasters. One of them is the reporter who reported the attack. The report grabs his microphone and begins his interview with the Incredibles and Sean.
"I'm here live with the Incredibles." the reporter says. "The super family once again saves the city, but a new super makes his first appearance to aid the Incredibles. If it wasn't for him, the Incredibles wouldn't be able to stop Sam Urai." The reporter walks toward the Incredibles. "So Mr. Incredible, who is this new super hero?"
"This is my nephew." Mr. Incredible replies. Sean smiles and Mr. Incredible continues, "His powers are metallic claws and optical lasers." The reporter turns to Sean
"So young man, do your parents have super powers?" Sean shakes his head. The reporter continues. "How does it feel to be a part of the Incredibles?"
"It's cool." Sean says. "This is a perfect time to spend time with each other. Of all the times I spend with them, this one is the best."
"What's your name now that you're one of the Incredibles?" the reporter asks. Sean thought about it and shrugs.
"He is Incrediguy." Violet answers. She looks at Sean and he smiles at her. More reporters interviews the Incredibles for ten minutes before everyone leaves. The Incredibles goes to Lucius's house to pick up Jack-Jack, before they headed for home. The Incredibles gets dressed in their normal clothes and drove to the mall. Dash buys a couple of video games and an action figure of himself. Helen buys clothes and toys for Jack-Jack. Bob buys himself a cheeseburger, a hot dog and a soda. Violet purchases CDs, newclothes and a small, beautiful necklace with a purple flower on it. Sean buys comics, a new hat and a miniature statue of a paladin slaying a dragon who guards scared treasures. After an hour of shopping, the Parrs get together. It was 8:00 pm and it was getting dark.
"Does anyone else want to buy something before we drop off Sean?" Helen asks.
"No mom." Dash says playing with his action figure.
"Nah." Sean said. Violet shakes her head.
"All right." she said "Everyone get in the car." The Parrs buckle up and drives to Sean's house which was ten minutes away. Finally the Parrs stop at a house, similar to theirs.
"Thanks for letting me come over." Sean says.
"No, thank you for saving us." Helen says. Sean smiles.
"Will you be back?" Dash asks.
"Hey, I'm an Incredible just like you guys." Sean grins. "If there's any trouble, I'll be there."
"Bob?" Helen glares at her husband.
"Huh? Oh, see you later Sean." Bob mumbles. Sean opens the door and steps outside. Violet also steps out of the car.
"Sean wait!" she said. Sean stops and turns toward her. The two of them smiles and exchanges hugs.
"What is it Vi?" Sean finally asks.
"Thanks again for saving me." she said
"What would you do without me?"
"Well I…" Violet is cut off buy her parents.
"Come on Violet!" Helen orders. Violet reaches into her bag and she pulls out a super suit similar to theirs. She hands it to Sean. Sean takes it and smiles.
"It's for you." Violet says.
"Where'd you get this?" Sean asks.
"Never mind. Now that you're part of the team, you'll probably need it."
"Vi!" Sean hugs her again. "Thank you. I guess that means we're even."
"You can say that."
"See you later Vi." Sean turns and walks toward his house. Violet turns toward the car. Sean is three feet from the door when he stops. His mouth opens wide and he drops his bag. Since his dragon statue was in there, there was a crash. Violet turns to see what's happened. Her eyes widen and her moth drops. A window was crack and the door was left open.
"Sean, what happened?" Violet asks horrifyingly.
"Shh." Sean silences. "Hold on." He pops out his claws and dashes inside the house. When he is inside, he is shocked. His house was a mess. Furniture was knocked down, broken glass was on the floor, and all the lights were off. Sean turns on the lights and looks for his parents. "Mom? Dad? Are you there?" The house is silent. Nobody answers to Sean's call. Violet then enters the house and her reaction is the same as Sean's.
"Oh my goodness!" Violet shrieks. Sean explores his house. He checks the kitchen and he finds chairs and tables turned over, plates cracked and glasses broken. He checks the bedrooms and all the beds were turned over, drawers wide open, mirrors cracked and blood on the carpet.
"I knew this was going to happen." Sean thought to himself, "But I didn't expect it to be now and…"
"Sean!" Violet cries. Sean rushes out of his room and sees Violet in the living room.
"What is it?" He asks. Violet is speechless. She points to the ground and Sean looks down. What he saw terrifies him. His mom and his dad lie on the floor dead. Sean kneels beside them and begins to cry. Violet joins him in crying. Suddenly Helen, Dash and Bob enter the house. They saw Sean kneeling beside his lifeless parents. Dash and Bob tries hard not to cry and Helen takes out a piece of tissue and blows her nose. She then walks toward Violet and Violet hugs her mom with tears in her eyes. Sean then wails.
"Why? Why?" Sean wails continually. Bob calls an ambulance and Helen takes Sean, Violet and Dash outside. Ten minutes later, an ambulance arrives and they carried Sean's mom and dad away. Later, the Parrs drives back home feeling depressed and silent. One by one, they drag themselves into the house until Violet and Sean remains outside.
"Come inside you two." Helen says softly. Violet and Sean doesn't hear her, but somehow understands what she wants. They drag themselves to the porch. Violet goes inside and she turns to Sean, who is still crying and outside.
"Are you coming in Sean?" she asks. Sean slowly shakes his head. "Why not? I know how you feel and I care about you." Violet says trying to cheer Sean up.
"Vi, go to bed. It's late." Helen says. Violet looks at Sean and she leaves. "You can stay with us tonight." Helen said. Sean finally enters the house.
"Where will I sleep tonight?" Sean asks sadly.
"He can sleep with me." Dash volunteers. Helen shakes her head.
"You're room is too small honey." she says. Dash leaves and goes to his room to sleep. Helen grabs a few blankets and a pillow and he sets them on the couch.
"Here you go." Helen said. Sean lies on the couch and covers himself up. "If you can't sleep tonight, I'll understand. If you need me, I'll be in my room." Helen tells Sean as she kisses him good night. She turns out the lights and the house was dark and cold. Sean stays awake for twenty minutes. He stares at the ceiling thinking and crying. He tosses and turns, but couldn't seem to get comfortable. His anger grows worst and he throws his pillow across the hallway.
"Ow." someone said. Sean turns and sees a figure in the hallway. But he can only see the clothes because the figure is invisible. Sean finally recognizes who it was.
"Vi? What are you doing here?" Sean whispers. "It's 1:30."
"I couldn't sleep after what happened." Violet says. She sat next to Sean on the couch. "I'm so sorry Sean." she apologizes.
"No, I'm the one who should be sorry." Sean says.
"What do you mean?"
"I guess you don't what's going on between me and my parents don't you?" Violet shakes her head. Sean continues, "It all started on the day I discovered I had powers. When I showed it to them, they were shocked. Now instead of showing how lucky they are to have a super as a son, they simply do the opposite of that. As the days past, my parents start ignoring me and treat me like I was their slave. I want to tell them about how I'm feeling, but everytime I tried, they always ignore me and continue doing what they always do to me."
"Why do they do this to you?" Violet asks.
"Aunt Helen says that when she was born, her sister, or my mom, grew jealous. Her parents paid more attention to Aunt Helen then her. Now I was raised by a family who hates supers."
"So why is this your fault?"
"My father was a gambler and he was a lucky man. Every month he goes to casinos and returns with a lot of cash. Some guys are jealous of my father that they want to break into his house and kill him. You see Vi, when our house gets broken into, I was always the one protecting my family. I kicked the robbers butt out of the house, and my parents still pay no respect. I wasn't there when someone broke into our house last night. Mom and dad were defenseless and were killed, because I wasn't there to protect them." Sean cries again. Violet was speechless after the she heard the story about Sean's horrible life. Sean finishes his story. "And just recently, I told them, that I wish I was never their son again. I guess my wish came true. Now I can't help but thinking the last thing I said to them." Sean looks at Violet and she hugs him.
"Do you love them?" Violet asks. Sean nods.
"That's all that matters. Never forget the great things they done. How lucky your dad was and how beautiful your mom was. If you remember the incredible times, you will live an incredible life." Violet smiles and finally so does Sean.
"Thanks Vi." he says. The two hugs each other and they went to sleep. The next mourning, Dash wakes up and races toward the living room, where he finds Sean sleeping on the couch and Violet sleeping on the floor next to him.
