Chapter 2 (Body)
He was due to be there soon and everyone was busy getting the house spotless and dinner made for their new guest. Helen was busy making meatloaf and some other goodies. Jack Jack was now older and watching TV somewhere. Dash was racing around trying to wash the walls with some protest to the new guest. Bob had his nose stuffed in a newspaper as usual.
Violet was in her room doing a quick clean on the place. She looked around and made sure all of her private things were well hidden. She then went over to the full length mirror on the wall and looked at herself. She was more then presentable. Her hair was pulled back with a yellow hair band. She was in a very nice set of blue jeans and a yellow blouse that matched the hair band. She had to admit that she looked good and was definatly different from her normal apparel.
A few blocks away from the Parr house the bus stopped and let off one passenger. He had on a set of black cargo pants and a white shirt on that formed to his body. He had a darkblue jean jacket. He was tall, standing a good 6' 4" with mussles in places that most people don't have places. He had dark brown hair and was clean shaven. He took his green duffle bag that was only half full and slung it over his sholder as he started walking. He was very nervious about meeting the people that he would be living with. He saw it as mooching off of them which he didn't like. He really didn't want to be a burdon to anyone and he was considering running.
Before he could turn to head a different direction his stomach protested with a sharp pain. He hadn't eaten a good meal in a very long time. "Alright, Alright..." He replyed to his stomach as it protested with a bit of growling. He continued to walk until he rounded the corner of the street that the Parr family lived on. He pulled a small peaice of paper out of his pocket that had the address on it. He looked at his watch and it was 7:20. He had about ten minuted before he was due to be there and thought it rude to show up early. He sat on a large rock that was for decoration on the street corner.
Back at the Parr house it was quiet. Everything was in place and Dash was looking out the window looking for anyone that resembled a male humanoid. He looked down to the end of the block and saw someone sitting on a rock. "There he is! There he is!" He called out.
Bob looked out the window and peered at the figure that was out there in the distance. "I think your right. What was his name again?"
Helen stood by Bob and watched as the figure sat. "It's Jason. They said he was a very nice man." Bob was hesatent to beleve that, especally when he was to be around them and more importanatly Violet. Helen looked at Bob, "Lets not stare, I'm sure that he will come when he is ready. He is probably more nervios then we are...oh and look, its only 7:23. He is early." They all sat at the table and waited. Silence filled the room as they watched the clock.
Jason was standing at the door at 7:30. 'Alright, this is the last chance to just run. They never have to know you were here.' He turned his head and he looked down the block. At that moment, for no reason that can be explaned, it started to rain. His sholders dropped in dissapointment. Now he had no choice. The past month echoed in his head. He was kept in the cellar on an old wood cot that broke the first night. He then had to sleep on the floor and they fed him very little. He shuttered as he gave the door a solid knock.
The door opened to a large man in a white button up shirt. He stood 6' 6" and peered at Jason with distrusting eyes. Jason's stomach almost turned at the sight of the look that this man was giving him. Jason cleared his throat.
"Hello Sir...My name is Jason"
"My name is Bob" he replyed still looking at him.
'Oh Crap, I knew this would happen. This is why I never ask for a hand' he thought to himself as he looked down for a breif moment. "Sir, I just came by to say that I have to go and do something tonight and I will not be able to dine with you this evening." Jason said in a defeated voice as he looked at the ground and then turned to leave.
Just then Helen came out from behind Bob, "Now wait just a minute young man! You are not going anywhere." She turned to Bob and gave him a stern look. "Dinner is ready and the organizer for the shelter told me you havent eaten in a while because of your last stay."
"I don't want to be a bother maim."
"Please, Your not a bother. Call me Helen, were not that formal here." she said with a chuckle, "This is Bob, his bark is worse then his bite, but becareful of his punch." She turned to Bob, "Now honey, He isn't like our last guest."
"I know, I'm sorry Jason. The last guest we had here was a real...There really is no word to decribe it, Please come in."
With a moment of hesatence Jason steped in. Just then he felt a brease past him. He saw a young boy standing next to Bob.
"I'm the Dash"
"Im the Jason, nice to meet the Dash" Jason replyed to him. Dash laughed and then wooshed past him again.
"Well its not hard to tell what his power is."
Helen led him to the table where there was the meatloaf and a bunch of other things. Violet walked in the room from the Kitchen carring some table napkins. Helen spoke up as Jason looked at Violet.
"This is our oldest child. Jason meet..." Jason cut her off.
"Violet, Right?"
Everyone went silent, Violet was looking at him to try and tell who he was. "I'm sorry, have we met before?"
"Well, no, earlier today I saw you down at the burger place. I knew your name because that guy was shouting it."
Bob looked at Violet who was stunned beyond beleif. "What Guy? Was it Tony?"
Violet hesitated for a moment, "Yes dad, I saw Tony at the burger place today."
"Did he hurt you!"
Violet looked down, tears began to run from her eyes. "No Dad, He tried to but I ran." She turned and started sobbing. She took off running for her room and Helen went after her. A few seconds later Helen returned to the dining room.
"I'm sorry about that Jason, she does this sometimes because of Tony. He used to abuse her a lot and the effects are still with her."
"It's alright, will she be ok?"
"Oh yes, she just needs some time thats all." She looked at the table, "You must be hungry, please lets eat."
The rest of the evening was spent getting to know Jason and eating dinner. As it turned out Jason was a student at a univrsity but was kicked out just before his graduation because they found out what he could do. ason never let on to what he could acctually do, he kept that to himself for now.
It had been about three hours and Violet still had not come out of her room. Helen had stood at the door several times and tryed to offer her someone to talk to but Violet was still sobbing. Jason came up to her at the door, this time Violet was silent..
"Mrs. Parr, She isnt in there anymore." He said to her.
"What? What do you mean she isnt in there?"
"I just saw her cross the back yard and go out the gate."
Helen looked at the door and back at Jason, "She does this sometimes, she is going to the park to be alone for a while."
"I see, thats understandable."
"I wish I could help her but he just clams up to me. Bob just wants to beat the snot out of Tony for what he did."
"Mrs Parr I know that we just met but would you mind if I talked to her?"
"I don't see any harm in it, we ususally just wait until she comes home. She usually comes in around twelve or so."
Jason noded, "I'll be back in a while, where is the park?"
"Two blocks that way"
With that Jason went out the door and with in a few minutes he was at the park. There was only one problem: No sign of Violet anywhere. He started to leave but he heard some voices from a distance. He moved around a bush and saw Violet and someone else. In fact it was several someones. He took off toward her. Getting closer he realised that it was Tony and some other people. "Shit, Why did I know this was going to happen." he said to himself as he was still about 30 yards away.
Violet was yelling at Tony about how he was a jerk and should be locked away. The others around him looked at him funny as this news came out of what Tony had done to her.
"I told you to shut up! I told you what would happen if you ever told anyone!"
Tony turned and went to throw a punch. Violet squeesed her eyes shut and prepared for the impact. Tony never saw who came rushing up next to him. Before he hit Violet, Jason cold cocked Tony from his side and sent him a good 10 feet into the air.
Violet felt the rush of wind that Tony made when he went flying. She opened her eyes to find Jason looking at the others, who were backing away from his percing eyes slowly.
"Violet, are you alright?" Jason asked as he came up to her.
"Jason? How did...I mean...Yeah, I'm alright." Her voice was a bit shaken at what had almost happened. Tears were beginning to form in her eyes as she looked at him.
"I was just walking and he came up to me, as soon as I started yelling his freinds came over to see what was going on."
"It's alright, He wont bother you again. Come on, lets go somewhere that we can talk for a while. If I'm not mistaken I beleve the burger place is open late, my treat."
Violet noded and they started walking to the burger place. The night seemed a bit calmer with Jason there walking beside her. She felt something that she coulden't explain...
