Chapter 2: Lucy
By: Conan 16
Author's Note: I did some changing around in my first chapter and summary. I decided that I didn't like the Super name The Blur for Dash, so I changed his super name to Rush.
Helen dropped off Dash at his school, and now she and Violet were on their way to the high school. They rode in silence for a few minutes, then Helen spoke up.
"Wow Vi! It's hard to believe your 16 already! You'll get to learn how to drive this summer won't you?" She asked.
"I guess." Violet mumbled.
Helen sighed.
"You're still upset about Tony breaking up with you huh?"
"It's because I'm gangly..." Violet said.
"Vi, you're still growing. I was the same way when I was your age." Helen explained.
Violet wasn't really listening.
"I'm also ugly..." She whispered.
"You're not ugly."
"Yes I am! The reason why Tony dumped me was because he met a hotter girl!" Violet was starting to cry.
"No, the reason why Tony dumped you was because he's a jerk who only dates for looks." Helen bit her lower lip, she knew she said the wrong thing.
"So I am ugly." Violet mumbled.
The rest of the trip to Violet's school was a silent one.
Bob was at home feeding Jack-Jack.
"Is that good?" He asked.
"Yum yum!" Jack-Jack replied.
Then the doorbell rang.
Bob answered it.
"Hey Lucius! How's it going man?" He greeted.
"Hey." Lucius said, forcing a smile.
"Whoa...Something's up, I can tell." Bob let Lucius in, and they sat at the kitchen table.
Bob poured some coffee for Lucius and himself.
"So what's up?" He asked.
Lucius sighed and took a sip of his coffee.
"Do you remember Blazestone?" He began.
"Yeah I remember her. She had some kind of heat powers right?" Bob asked.
"Yeah, that's her."
"Heh, you and Blazestone were pretty good friends. Some of the other supers couldn't help but wonder if their was something going on between the two of you." Bob chuckled.
But Lucius still looked serious, as he stared into his coffee.
"Lucius?" Bob asked.
"Are you ok?"
"There was something between us." Lucius finally said.
"Huh?"
"Their WAS something between me and Blazestone, Bob!" He repeated.
Bob's eye widened as he stared down at his own cup of coffee.
"Well...How serious was this something?" He asked.
Lucius sighed again.
"Blazestone's daughter came over to my house last night looking for me." Lucius replied. He stood up and walked to the window.
"I guess I should say my daughter came over last night looking for me."
Bob nearly choked on his coffee.
"Oh my god! So this means that..."
"Blazestone was pregnant 16 years ago, and she kept it a secrete from everyone. Even me. She was so mad after that fight we had, that she didn't even tell me that I had a daughter."
Bob was speechless.
"Her name's Lucy...My daughter. Blazestone told Lucy about me a few months before she was killed by Syndrome. After Lucy heard about her mother's death, she decided to come and look for me." Lucius went on to explain.
"Her name is Lucy? Kind resembles your name huh?" Bob asked.
"I guess so."
"You sound very upset about this."
Lucius shook his head.
"I guess I'm just a little surprised about the whole thing. So was Honey. But neither of us wanted to leave a helpless teenaged girl out in the streets, especially one who claims to be my own daughter, so we agreed to let her stay for now."
"Will we get to meet her?" Bob asked.
Lucius shrugged.
"Sure, how about you tell your family, and you guys can come meet her tonight ok?"
Bob nodded.
"Ok, We'll do that then." He said.
Lucius looked at his watch.
"Oh! I'd better get back home before Honey finds out that I left! See you later Bob!" Lucius cried running out the front door. He sounded a little better since he got that issue off his chest.
Bob picked up Jack-Jack.
"Well what are the odds of that?" He asked him.
Jack-Jack just laughed.
Violet's first period ended, and she was walking to her next class.
"Hey Vi! Hey Vi!" A stuffy voice cried from behind her.
Violet sighed a frustrated sigh.
"Oh no." She mumbled.
A boy with curly brown hair, black plastic framed glasses, a checked shirt, and tan slacks supported by suspenders ran up next to her.
"Hey Violet!" He said through his stuffy voice.
"Hi Curly..." Violet mumbled.
"How's it going? Did you enjoy your Biology class?" He asked.
"Not really." Violet replied.
"I don't like Biology."
"Ya. Neither do I." Curly said.
"Hey are you doing anything Friday?"
Violet let out a grunt.
"I...Uhhh...Have a previous engagement." She replied.
"Oh c'mon Vi! You always say that!" Curly whined.
"Look, I really have to get to my next class." Violet said, walking faster, and losing Curly in a crowd of people.
"Vi wait!" Curly cried.
He sighed.
"I'm not that much of a loser, am I?"
He turned around, and ran into a opened locker door.
"Watch it dork!" A girl said.
Curly didn't say anything as he walked off to his next class.
Later, after school, Dash was in the boy's locker room getting ready for track.
He was staring at a couple of pimples on his face in the mirror.
"Man, why won't these things go away?" His voice cracked on the last word.
Dash let out a frustrated grunt.
"This bites." He mumbled.
"All right boys! Out on the track field! Move! Move! Move!" Coach Truman ordered. He was once a drill sergeant long ago.
As the boys left the locker room, they joined together with the girls who were on the track team. A girl with long red hair, and sapphire blue eyes ran up next to Dash.
"Hi Dash." She greeted.
Dash started to blush.
"I...Ummmm...Well I...Uh...Hi Bridgett!" He finally got out. But he embarrassed himself as his voice cracked again.
Bridgett giggled.
"I forgot to congratulate you for winning first place at last Friday's race...So, congratulations." She said.
Dash grew redder around the cheeks. He looked at the floor so Bridgett couldn't see his face.
"Thanks." He mumbled.
"Well, I'd better get back to my friends. Bye Dash!" Bridgett waved.
"Bye..." Dash replied.
Then he smiled.
"Wow! She talked to me..." He said excitedly.
On the track field, the guys lined up to do a warm up run around the track.
"Alright boys, the first one to reach the finish line, will get to sit down, as the rest will continue to run. Then the next boy to reach the finish line first, will also get to sit, as the rest continue to run, and so on." The coach explained.
All the boys except Dash groaned.
"Well Dash, looks like you're the only one running one lap again." One of them said.
"Oh c'mon, I'm not that fast." Dash replied.
"Maybe I'll fall behind the first couple of laps, so no one begins to suspect anything." He thought.
"Ready! RUN!" Coach Truman cried.
The boys began to run.
Dash slowed up a little and let a couple of others get ahead of him. Then something weird started to happen. His legs were going numb. That never happened before.
"What's going on?" Dash asked. Then his legs started to go faster, and Dash went right in front of everyone.
"Why am I running faster?" Dash asked. He had no control over his speed.
He estimated that he was starting to go about 15 mph, that was way to fast for an average junior high student. He tried to stop so he wouldn't look to suspicious.
"Whoa! Look at Dash go!" One of the boys from behind him cried.
Dash's legs were slowly getting faster.
"C'mon! Stop already!" He cried, but it was like his legs had a mind of their own.
Suddenly, his left leg twitched, and stopped. Now when one leg is still going about 18 mph, and the other just stops completely, you know it won't end well.
Dash went soaring into the grass on the middle of the field. He laid there face in the dirt, as his right leg was still trying to go. It flopped around like a fish on land.
"Great...Puberty has reached my powers." He grumbled.
Meanwhile, at the Best residence.
Lucy sat at the dinner table, her father at the opposite end, as they waited for Honey to finish lunch.
They were both silent, as Lucius looked up at her. He never really looked her over before.
Her hair was long and black, like his hair used to be. She had blue eyes, like Blazestone, and she also had her mother's small ears and slim nose. Her skin was a light brown color.
Lucy looked up at her father.
He kind of looked around, trying to act like he wasn't staring at her.
Lucy just sighed, as she drank the last of the water in her cup.
"Oh here, I can get you some more." Lucius said reaching for the cup.
"No, that's ok." Lucy replied. She put her hand above the rim of the cup. The cup started to fill with water.
"Whoa! That's amazing." Lucius said.
"Is that your super power?"
Lucy nodded.
"Yeah, I can duplicate the water molecules in the air." She said.
"How many times?"
"Well, enough to flood one fifth of this city if I wanted to." She replied.
"I see."
"Mom told me about your powers... Can I see them?"
Lucius nodded.
"Sure, just shoot a stream of water in my direction." He said.
"Ok." Lucy cupped her hands, and when she opened them, a stream of water shot at Lucius.
Lucius threw his hand towards the water, and a little cloud of ice molecules shot out freezing it over. He caught the ice.
"Ta da." He said showing it to Lucy.
"That's cool!" Lucy said.
Then she laughed a little.
"No pun attended." She said with a smile.
Lucius laughed too.
Honey was watching them from the kitchen.
"My my." She said.
"Like father like daughter."
Honey, like Lucius said earlier, was a little shocked about Lucius having a daughter, especially a daughter from a different woman. But she was beginning to see this as a good thing.
Around 6:00 pm, the Parrs were all home, and they were getting ready to go over to the Best residence.
"A daughter? Really?" Violet asked her mother, as they were both fixing their hair.
"Yeah, she's your age honey. Maybe you two will become good friends." Helen replied.
Violet shrugged.
"Maybe."
Each of the Parrs were soon ready to go. They got into the family car, and took off.
"Oh yeah! Honey, did you grab the jelleton?" Helen asked.
"I thought you grabbed it." Bob replied.
"What! No I specifically asked you to grab it, did you not hear me?"
"Yeah I heard you, but before we left I could of swore I heard you say that you were grabbing it." Bob argued.
"I never said that!" Helen argued back.
"Oh then I'm hearing things." He said sarcastically.
"I guess so, because I never said that!"
Bob and Helen's argument was cut short, when they all heard an explosion off in the distance.
Helen pushed a button, and the car's radio went up under the dashboard, reveling a radar system.
"What is it?" Bob asked.
"A super powered villain is attacking the banks and jewelry shops on Main Street." Helen replied.
Bob shook his head.
"Looks like we're going to be a little late for dinner." He said.
He programmed the car to take them to Main Street, and switched it to auto drive.
Helen pushed another button, and each of their seats went down. Five different mechanisms, came out from the seats. Each of them scanned the Parrs, and when identification was approved, the mechanisms went over them again, but this time suited them up (AN: Kind of like how Mr. incredible suited up at the beginning of the movie.)
The minivan went through a transformation, as the hood went lower, the windows tinted, a couple of jet engines appeared on the back, and the hubcaps transformed into bullet proof tire shields. The paint job went from a tanish gold color, to black as the body color, with red and orange stripes on the sides. The Incredibles symbol appeared on the hood of the car, and on the license plate. The entire car was bullet proof, and it could withstand explosive attacks, from anything like grenades to missiles. It could even go under water, if it needed to.
The Incredibles arrived at Main Street, and saw their villain shooting a plasma ray out of his hand, and into a jewelry store window.
"Mwa ha ha ha ha! Foolish mortals! None of you are a match for me, the great Lucifer!" The villain cried.
The family prepared themselves for the fight.
"Showtime." Mr. Incredible said.

Author's Note: Yeah, it's been a while, but my sister came down from Nebraska, and I hardly get to see her, so I decided to put the stories on hold. Sorry for the wait.
