(A/N: Okay, before I even start this chapter, there's something you need to know. I can't speak Spanish to save my own life. I learned a few words in the first grade, but I have no clue about the syntax. Therefore, anytime you see any words in boldface; you'll just have to imagine those words being said in Spanish. Okay, sorry to slow you down, on with the story!)

Dateline: Thursday, April 30, 1981, 12:52 PM, Pacific Daylight Time.

"Oh, my son!" exclaimed Mrs. Hernandez. "What are you doing here, and who is this girl you are with?"

"Hello, Mom," José said dispassionately. He was so embarrassed that his mother had seen him like this, with a horrible body odor, pasta strewn all over his jet-black hair, and tomato sauce in his goatee. And to top it all off, his irritating little sisters had seen it too.

"I was just having lunch with the leader of my new team," José explained. He looked back at Violet. From the quizzical expression on her face, he could tell that she didn't understand a word they just said.

"José," Violet asked, "who are these people?"

"Oh, I'm sorry, how rude of me! Violet, this is my mother Juanita, my father Eduardo, and my little sisters, Rosa and Marisol. Family, this is Violet Parr, leader of Alpha Force."

"It's so nice to finally meet you," said Juanita as she shook Violet's hand.

"Uh, can you please speak English?" Violet asked. It was the only Spanish she knew.

"Of course," said Eduardo, "although my English is very not good. Will you forgive bad speaking?"

Violet smiled. "You're forgiven. Please, sit down!" And they all did.

José leaned in and whispered in Violet's ear. "What are you doing? This was supposed to be just the two of us!"

"Relax, dear, the sooner we get this out of the way, the better."

José didn't quite follow her. "Get what out of the way?"

"Meeting your parents, silly!" She turned and looked out at the Hernandez family. "Well, um, err…" She wasn't exactly sure what to say. How do you begin a conversation with your boyfriend's parents? For a long time, she said nothing. Then Eduardo got the ball rolling.

"So, Violet, I saw you on, um, news program. You are the one called Python, right?"

"Yep, that's me."

"You are daughter of Mr. Incredible?"

"Mm-hmm."

"You know, I am very like Mr. Incredible."

This comparison sparked Violet's interest. "Really?" she asked.

"In Mexico, I was great superhero also. I fought evil with powers of super-strength and X-ray vision. I had codename of…" he paused for dramatic effect, "Señor Excellente."

Violet was surprised at this information. "Wow, José, you never told me your parents were supers!"

"I assumed you knew, honey!" José said in his own defense. "Your parents were supers, weren't they?"

"Yeah, but not all supers are born from super parents. Tell me more!" Violet wanted to know everything.

"Okay, let me tell my part now," Juanita said. "I was called La Angela, or the Angel, because my power is flight. I met Eduardo when we were both needed at a bank robbery, and we fell in love. We were married not more than a year after that. We wanted to fight evil together as husband and wife. But our dream was suspended."

"How?" Violet wondered.

"Well, when the United States issued law restricting the activity of supers, Mexico followed suit very quickly. Everyone in our homeland knew Eduardo was Señor Excellente, so the government decided he had to leave Mexico altogether. He and I moved to Phoenix, where we had José and the twins."

"Do the twins have powers?" Violet asked.

"Yes, unfortunately, they both have laser vision powers. Rosa's lasers are red, while Marisol's are blue. It's the only way we can tell them apart."

As if on cue, both Rosa and Marisol stared right at Violet, unleashing their lasers. Without missing a beat, Violet put up a force field to protect herself from the incoming attack. As a result, the lasers were extinguished.

"I see," she said as if nothing had happened. "So, when did you guys move to California?"

"We moved here about seven years ago," Eduardo explained. "When we immigrated to the U.S., Juanita and I immediately registered with the NSA. When the superhero ban was lifted, we wanted to move to a city that had great demand for our services."

"So you came to Metroville," Violet finished.

"Yes," said Juanita. "We tried fighting crime together as a family, but José here kept getting in the way with his over-inflated ego."

"Mom!" José yelled. "Do you have to tell her about that?"

"I assumed she already knew, son. After all, that is why you had to join Alpha Force, right?"

"Mom, please! Let's not talk about this, okay?"

"Well," said Juanita, "since my son doesn't want us to talk about him, let's hear about you, Violet!"

Violet tugged at her collar. She didn't like being put on the spot like this. "Okay," she said, and she told them the whole story, from how she found her powers to when she met José.

When Violet had finished, Eduardo looked at his watch. "Oh, my, the time has flown away! We really must be going, Violet. You take good care of my son, okay?"

"Don't worry, I will," she reassured him.

Before the Hernandez's left, Juanita pulled José aside and whispered to him. "Don't let this one get away, I want grandchildren!"

"Alright, Mom, get off my case!" José complained. When the family was gone, José turned back to Violet. "I hope that this little encounter with my parents won't put a damper on our relationship."

"Relax, José. If anything, meeting your family has drawn me closer to you."

He was elated at this news. "Really? Wow, uh, this is, uh…" He was rambling again. Violet was laughing at José's inability to complete a sentence. She had to guide him into speaking cohesively.

"We should…" she coaxed, "…ask the waiter…for the…check."

"Uh, the check, yeah, um, hey waiter! Check please!"

Meanwhile, back on Oriental Avenue…

"Do you realize what this is, Gretchen?" asked Mr. Von Braun, holding up a can of Alpha Force's magic proof spray.

"No, Jurgen, but I have a feeling you are going to tell me anyway."

"This means that there is another villain out there fighting Alpha Force, and this strange spray paint is how they defeat him. I saw Python use it just yesterday. She sprayed herself with it, went inside that house, and she came out with the team in tow."

"Well, what exactly does this spray stuff do, dear?"

"I don't know. Maybe it makes one invincible to this being, whatever it is."

"And what exactly do you intend to do about it?"

Jurgen had thought about this for a while now. "I know exactly what I'm going to do. I'm going to go in there, find whoever this other villain is, and I'm going to discover the secret of his power. Once I do, I'm going to steal it, and then I'll be unstoppable! Hahahahahahaha…"

"Wait a minute," interrupted Gretchen. "Won't Alpha Force be able to block this new power regardless of who's wielding it?"

"Yes, love, but they won't be expecting it from me!"

"All right, I just hope you know what you're doing."

(A/N: So, how am I doing so far? You see, this story is not just a battle of good v. evil, it is also a battle of evil v. evil. Don't forget to review, so I can get some feedback. Oh and there is one little thing that's been nagging me: I have the strangest feeling that I am the oldest person who uses this site. True or false? I am 19 years old, but I will be 20 in January.)
