Big Brother
One by one, the Parrs wakes up the next mourning. They meet at the kitchen and have breakfast. Dash has cereal with milk, Bob has bacon and sausage, Helen has eggs, Violet has waffles with syrup and Sean has a hot cup of tea. The kitchen is dead silent after what happened last night at Sean's house.
"Pass me the eggs honey." Bob mumbles. Helen doesn't hear him, but she hands them to her husband anyway.
"Mom?" Dash asks after finishing his cereal. "May I be excused?"
"Sorry honey, but we all have to talk." Helen replies without even looking at his son.
"So Sean," Dash asks. "Are you felling alright?" Sean stares at Dash and immediately, the boy shuts his mouth.
"Shut up you little insect. Can't you see he's having a really rough time?" Violet says.
"It's alright Vi." Sean mumbles. "I'm not feeling good at all."
"Is there any thing we can do to help?" Bob asks.
"Well," Sean thinks. "Where will I stay for the rest of my life?"
"You can stay with us you know." Dash suggests.
"I don't know honey." Helen says. "We don't have enough room and where will he sleep? I don't want him to sleep on the small couch the whole time."
"Besides, what about school?" Sean asks.
"That's not important now." Bob says. "You are our prime concern."
"Should I think about it?" Sean asks. Everyone nods and Sean gets out of his chair and leaves the kitchen. One by one, the whole family puts away their dishes and leaves the kitchen. Dash sprints to his room, Helen washes the dishes, Bob continues to read the newspaper and Sean goes outside and sits on the porch. Violet follows him and sits right next to him.
"How you feeling?" she asks.
"Not so good." Sean answers. "Anyway, I thought about what you told me last night."
"And?" Violet asks.
"Thank you. I feel much better. Maybe living with you guys is not so bad after all."
"Well if you do, then you will be living by our rules."
"I can live with that." Sean says as Violet laughs.
"So if I'm Incrediguy, what are you suppose to be? I mean, you can't have your real name be your super name."
"They call me Incredigirl. That's how I got your name."
"So what? Dash can't be named Incrediboy or something among those lines?"
"No, dad told me that I should ever call him that because that name, Incrediboy, drives him crazy. I'm still trying to find out why."
"What other missions you have been doing with your family? Sean asks.
"Well, two weeks ago, we stopped a bank robbery." Violet recalls. Violet explains that there were three armed robbers and that she used a force field to protect her family from bullets and used her invisibility to knock out one of the robbers without him noticing. Then she recalls an event that happened recently that she will never for get. A super villain named "Multi" captures her parents and her brother was sick so she has to save her mom and dad by herself. She uses a remote control to find her parents with their homing device and she finds them tied up near an abandoned warehouse. Violet then explains his powers of multiplying himself. She tries taking him on bare handed by delivering a couple of punches, but he multiplies himself so he and his clones delivers twenty punches and kicks to Violet. Violet recoils and tries to project a force field, but each time a punch hits the shield, Violet loses energy, and the soon force field eventually disappears. When it did, the clones grab her by the throat and starts choking the life out of her. Later she gets tossed around into walls and pillars. Some of them pull her long black hair, others used wrestling moves and most of them put her in submission holds. Finally, one kicks her in the chin and she fell down. By now, Violet was in severe pain. She has cuts on her arms, a black eye, broken teeth; her suit was all torn up, her arms, legs and body were in pain by the submission holds, and was in pain by all those punches and kicks. Elastigirl and Mr. Incredible watched in horror as Multi and his clones approach their defenseless daughter.
"Wow!" Sean said in amusement. "So how'd you win?"
"Well…" Suddenly, lightning strikes and think clouds begin to form. It begins to rain and Violet and Sean runs inside.
"We'll finish the story later. I have something to show you at the end." Violet said.
"Don't forget, this is getting exciting." said Sean.
"I'll be in my room finishing my homework." Violet says.
"Need help?" Sean asks. Violet shakes her head and walks toward her room.
"Sean, come here please." Sean can hear Helen calling him so he walks toward the dining room where Bob and Helen are. They are sitting in chairs and one seat is open. Sean approaches to the empty seat.
"Have a seat." Bob says. Sean sits down.
"Bob and I have been discussing about you Sean." Helen says.
"We know how you feel after what happen to your parents." Bob explains. Sean stares at the ground as Bob continues, "But now is not the time feeling sorry for yourself."
"What he is trying to say is that we want to adopt you." Helen corrects. Sean finally looks up and stares at his future mother and father. "But there are a few rules." Helen then explains about when Sean shouldn't do hero work. She explains to him of the grades he must get and what she expects from him. Sean must finish all of his homework and chores before he can help the family. For ten minutes, Helen and Bob talks to their future son.
"I guess that means I'll be going to school with Vi, right." Sean asks. The parents nod. "Guess I have a lot of catching up to do. And I guess that means I won't be going to Metrovile Middle School, right?"
"Don't worry about it." Helen said. "You can take the week off to get your schedule and your supplies, before you can go to school." Sean hugs Bob and Helen and leaves the room.
Later that day, the Parr family, with Sean attends the funeral for Sean's unfortunate parents, regardless of the rain. Everyone is dressed in black. Helen, Violet and Sean cries for the most part of the funeral. When it is over, the Parrs drives back home. Sean still is depressed so the Parrs try to make him feel better one by one. After the rain has stoped,Bob plays football with him, Helen bakes some chocolate chip cookies, Dash plays video games with him and Violet reads poems to him. Oddly, Jack-Jack tries his best to help by laughing and acting cute towards him.After two hours, the Parrs can see a smile on Sean's face. Somehow, Sean forgets about his parents and starts living a new life as one of the Incredibles.
That night, Helen again fixes the couch Sean will be sleeping in. Dash appears and he asks, "Hey mom, can you help me on my math homework?" Helen was about to reply when Sean volunteers. Dash takes Sean into his room and Sean helps Dash on his math.
"So the area of a quadrilateral is base times height." Sean says showing him on his piece of paper." Dash smiles and gives Sean a high five and a pat on the back.
"Thanks, big brother." Dash thanks.
"Big brother?" Sean repeated. "What are you talking about?"
"Come on Sean. Vi and I overheard your discussion with mom and dad." Dash smiles.
"Vi was doing her homework, so how can she know?" Sean questions. Suddenly, the door opens and Violet stands in front of the door way.
"The little insect is right Sean, I did hear it." Sean looks at his sister and then at his brother, then at Dash's clock which says 9:00 pm.
"It's late." Sean says.
"Good night big brother." Dash says.
"Good night you big pest." Sean says as he closes the door. Sean walks to Violet's room where she is getting ready for school and getting ready for bed. Sean sits on her bed.
"I believe we haven't finished your story yet." Sean says. Violet sits next to him and picks where she left off. As Multi came closer, she looks at her mom and dad, crying. Her mom looks at her horrified, but her dad quickly comes up with an idea. He asks Multi and his clones, "Which one of you Multis is the better Multi of all the Multis." The clones look at each other. One says he's the better one, but another says he's the better one. They continue to argue and soon, the turned against each other. They punched, kicked and wrestled each other. One by one, the clones falls down and disappears, until the real Multi was left. Violet, with enough energy, got to her feet and turns invisible. She gave him a couple of punches in the face and kicks to the stomach and below. Then she finds a pole on the ground. She turns visible and picks up the pole. Violet swings her iron weapon at the super villain anytime she sees an open target or an oppertunity to strike. After a couple of strikes, Violet swings one more time at Multi's mid section. The impact sends him hurling to a wall. He tries to regain consciousness. Violet again sees her oppertunity to finish him off.She sprints toward Multi and the last thing he saw was the pole plowed in to his face. Violet unties her parents and they called the police. The police takes Multi away while Mr. Incredible and Elastigirl takes Violet to the hospital. She immediatly recovers from her injures. Mr. Incredible, Elastigirl and Violet walks home, where Dash and Jack-Jack are waiting. Three days later after the incedent, she was given a medal of honor for her bravery and for saving her parents. Violet takes a box out of her shelf and shows all the medals she receives. They are all shining gold, like it has been polished once a week.
"Someday, you'll have one of these too." Violet says. Sean smiles and hugs Violet.
"Good night Sis." Sean says as he turns off the lights and closes the door.
"Good night, Incrediguy." Violet says as she quietly falls asleep.
