Senator Praises new Legislation
Senator Joe Kennier has praised the new anti-super legislation that was passed into law last night by President George W. Bush. The legislation follows the Super Regulation Act passed just a few weeks earlier.
Senator Kennier, who represents the Austin District of Texas, is well known for his anti-super stance. "It is time that this menace to society is countered," he said today, "For too long have the American people been in danger from Supers, for too long have Supers been treated as superior beings."
The Super Control Act which prohibits Supers from using any form of motorised transportation, their powers, public schools and getting a job, will come into force next week. Critics have already said that the legislation is much like the Nazi legislation upon Jews in the 1930's.
The most controversial aspect of the new legislation is the creation of 'Super towns,' which many have derided as concentration camps. Supers will be required to live in one of these towns or be escorted there by force…(Article contuse page 2)
Bob Parr threw down the mornings paper in disgust. He still couldn't believe that the republicans had managed to push through that piece of rubbish. The Super Regulation Act had been bad enough, revealing him and his kids for what they where but this was even worse.
Beside him his suitcase lay, packed and ready to go, downstairs another 12 lay. He slowly got up and walked through the door, lugging the suitcase behind him as it it weighed nothing-to him it didn't.
"You finished packing Dash?" He called upstairs,
"Just finished." A blur rushed past him, a suitcase smashing him in the leg. Bob grimaced, "Sorry Dad."
"How about you Vi?" A black haired head popped round Violets doorway.
"Finished, but could I have some help getting it down stairs?" Bob walked into Violets room, three huge suitcases lay in the rooms centre. He looked at Vi then back at the suitcases. How could one girl have so many clothes? Still, it wasn't worth leaving anything behind. No doubt they could buy new things in Britain but still, waste not want not.
Bob finally manage to manoeuvre himself through the narrow doorway into the hall and then down the stairs, 4 suitcases under each arm. At the bottom his family stood, waiting for him, Helen reached out and took some of the cases from him, handing one each to the kids and holding another herself, Jack-jack was already in the car. "you all got your badges?" Bob asked, and they nodded.
On everyone's chest was a prominent blue badge, another one of the Super Regulation Act's measures. The badges showed who where super and who wasn't, and what there names and abilities where. Like everyone else in the family Bob hated them.
He forced the last two cases into the land Rovers boot and climbed in. Helen was driving. Luckily the Super Control Act wasn't yet in place so they could still drive cars and, crucially, leave the country.
Violet had her earplugs in, listening to Green Day, Bob could hear he music from where he was sitting. "Violet, turn the music down."
"What?"
"Violet turn the music down, you'll wreak your hearing."
"What?" Bob gave up, if she wanted to wreak her ears it was her choice, she was happy and quiet. Dash, however, was not so easily silenced. "Where are we going again." He'd been told of course but he was board.
"England." Bob replied in monotone, hoping that would silence Dash.
"Where in England?"
"Yorkshire."
"Where in Yorkshire?"
"The Yorkshire dal…Look, Dash you know this already, okay, we've told you, where going to stay wit our cousins who live on a farm in Thorpe in the Yorkshire dales. Okay?"
"Ok." Finally the car was silent and it stayed that way as they drove towards the airport. Then came the struggle to get all the baggage out of the car, the conspicuous glances at there badges as they walked through the airport. Everyone knew that most supers where leaving America, but to see the most well known of them all, the Incredible family, came as quite a shock. Several times they where hassled by anti-super demonstrators or there pro-super counterparts.
But eventually they made it, checked in at the desk and then they where onboard the plane, leaving America behind.
