Chapter 4: Dinner At the Best Residence

By: Conan16

Author's Note: I know, no update in a long time. Home schooling, to be quite honest, is a pain in my...You get the idea, anyway enjoy this new chapter.
The Incredibles unsuited, and met up with the Lucius and Lucy to continue their evening dinner plans. When they arrived at the Best residence, Honey met up with them in the living room.

"Glad to see you all made it here in one piece. Any serious injuries?" She asked.

Everyone looked themselves over.

"I'm fine." Violet said.

"Me too." Lucy said.

Dash was rubbing his sore legs from his unexpected trip down Main Street.

"I'll be fine." He mumbled.

The eight of them sat at the dinner table, and began to eat a dinner of roast beef.

"I tell you." Lucius said taking a big bite of potatoes.

"That villain we just fought, Lucifer was it? Was probably the first real challenge I've had since Syndrome's omnidroid."

"That's no joke." Helen said. "Every villain we've fought since we came out of hiding has either been a bank robber, or a wanna be super villain."

"Yeah, but what could Lucifer be up to? I mean, is he a solo act abusing his powers to rob banks and jewelry stores, or is he working for someone who's planning a big scheme?" Bob wondered.

"A scheme? Like what?" Helen asked.

"I don't know...We didn't find out about Syndrome's true plans until he flat out told us."

Lucius sipped some wine.

"Aaahhh! Well, I wouldn't wait to find out what our new foe was up to...You know, tomorrow Bob and I could do some investigating. Search for some clues that could lead us to whatever it is Lucifer is up to." He said.

"Maybe." Bob mumbled. "But where would we start? Lucifer left us no clues."

"Simple Bob. I can investigate the jewelry stores that were robbed, and you can investigate the banks." Lucius explained.

Bob shrugged.

"Well, I have nothing better to do."

Lucius laughed.

"Really? Me too. That's why I suggested this investigation in the first place."

Bob laughed.

Violet, Dash, and Lucy were at the end of the table.

"Oh geeze. I can't believe our dads are going to be snooping around town tomorrow acting like detectives." Violet sighed.

Lucy nodded.

"Something wrong?" Violet asked.

"Naw, it's just weird, you know? I've gone my whole life not even knowing I had a father. Now I'm hearing people say things to me like, 'Your dad.' It's just a little weird." Lucy explained.

Violet decided to change the subject.

"So, what grade are you in?"

"I'm a freshman. I start school next week." Lucy replied.

"Cool! Do you have a schedule?"

Lucy pulled her school schedule out of her pocket.
"I just got it in the mail today." She said.

Violet looked it over.

"Cool! We're in the same Algebra, Biology, and Gym class!"

"Cool! By the way, awesome moves when he were fighting that villain." Lucy said.

"Thanks! You were pretty cool too! Have you ever fought crime before?"
"Only once before. But my mother trained me almost everyday. She was so sure that someday supers would get to come out of hiding..." Lucy's smile faded.

"To bad huh? Her wish came true. But she didn't get to live to see it."

Violet felt bad for her new friend.

"Well..." She began. "I never lost anyone close to me, so I can't say I know how you feel. But if you ever need someone to talk to, we're in three of the same classes. I can give you my address and phone number too."

Lucy nodded.

"Thanks Violet. Sorry for getting all sappy like that."
"Aww, it's ok. Don't sweat it."

That's when Lucy saw Dash, sulking and eating his peas one by one.

"Something wrong?" She asked.

Dash just shrugged.

"Don't mind him Lucy. He's just mad because we beat Lucifer before he did. He always acts like this when I take out a bad guy before him." Violet said.

"That's not true! It's just that..." Dash's voice trailed off.

"Puberty bites." He mumbled.

"Why? Because you can't talk to girls anymore without blushing and having fantasies?" Violet joked.

"Shut up! It's because I have no control over my super speed now!"
"Dash! No shouting at the table young man." Helen scolded.

Dash slouched in his chair and crossed his arms.

"And I don't have a problem around girls." He mumbled.

"Just Bridgett." Violet teased.

Dash flicked a pea at her, and it hit her between the eyes.

"Shut up." He warned.

"What's this about?" Lucy asked.

"He has a crush on a girl in his track team named Bridgett Jones." Violet replied.

Lucy grinned.

"I do not... Shut up." Dash grumbled.

"You're hungry for Bridgett Jones. Aren't you Dash?" Violet teased some more.
Dash picked up his fork.

"I said shut up! You freak of nature!" He cried pointing it at her.

"Do not shout at the table." Helen scolded again.

The rest of the night among Dash and Violet was pretty silent, and the rest of the dinner conversations were pretty normal.

But meanwhile, back in the secrete lair of the new villain.

Lucifer was cleaning the floors, and grumbling in the process.

"We have a freakin' maid! Why can't she do this?" He asked no one. But he got an answer.

"Because Einstein. Tsarkon's punishing you for your failing attempts at capturing the supers." A female voice replied.

"Beat it Minx! The last thing I need right now is you gloating over my defeat!" Lucifer cried.

A young girl walked out of the shadows. She had dark green eyes, and very long dark black hair. Her skin was very pale. She was very beautiful. The only thing about her was that anyone could tell just by looking into her eyes that she was evil.

Minx laughed.

"I still can't believe you mistook 'capture the supers' for 'destroy the supers.' What were you thinking?"

Lucifer grumbled.

"I knew darn well what Tsarkon wanted. I just assumed he wanted me to capture them dead."

Minx laughed even more.

"What good would a dead super do us? Don't you remember our plans?" She asked.

"Don't you mean Tsarkon's plan? We're just his guinea pigs." Lucifer replied.

"Hey! Tsarkon promised us all the riches and fortunes we wanted after we helped him out! I don't mind being the man's so called guinea pig, if it means I'm going to be filthy stinking rich!"

Lucifer sniffed the air.

"Yeah, something sure does stink."

Minx sniffed the air.

"Well, I'll agree with you there."

Tsarkon's imp helper walked by.

"Don't look at me. It's the swamp gas outside." He said.

Lucifer threw down the mop he was using.

"That's another thing! Why of all places did Tsarkon choose a swamp for a secrete hideout? It stinks to high heavens here!"
"Relax Lucifer." Minx said. "As of right now, our boss is getting us a new hideout. It's an uncharted island."

"Really? Where at?" Lucifer asked.

"Dipstick! I said it was uncharted! How should I know? All I know is that it's previous owner was killed in a plane explosion, and now his mistress is living on the island in peace."

"So...The islands occupied?" Lucifer asked.

Minx laughed her wicked laugh.

"Not for long." She said.

Somewhere else, on a familiar island we all know as Nomanisan Island.

The dark, cloaked figure of Tsarkon was standing on a rock, at the edge of a waterfall.

"This place is perfect." His dark sinister voice mumbled.

"I can feel the presents of deceased supers all around me."

Suddenly, Tsarkon felt the tip of a gun barrel to his back.

"Put your hands up!" Someone cried.

"I don't think so." Tsarkon mumbled.
The guard started to grow frustrated.

"Then by order of the island's owner, Mirage, I'm going to have to lock you up! Come with me plea..." The guard was interrupted when it felt like something was choking him. He was lifted off the ground, and he dropped his gun.

Tsarkon looked at the villain.

"To be able to control anything with your mind...Such a great power. Wouldn't you agree?" He asked the choking and gagging guard.
Tsarkon flinched, and the guard went flying over the waterfall.

"Now, to claim this island as my own. I just need to get rid of it's owner...What was her name?... Oh yes, Mirage."

Tsarkon walked away from the waterfall as he laughed his dark, cold, sinister laugh.
