Chapter 6: Friendliness

Jordan Bane smiled at Violet as they walked into the house. It was nice little cozy home. His alter ego took a moment to break through and imagine a life in one of these homes, with a wife and maybe a few children to make it worthwhile. When he felt himself grow a little closer to the height of Alexander Martin, he quickly shut down his reflection of what never could be. "You a have very nice home here Mrs. Parr." Jordan smiled and took off his shoes.

"Thank you Jordan, where do you live?" She asked.

The boy wanted to give several answers at once but did not. He wanted to answer for his sister and say "no where", then he wanted to answer for himself and say "I live in a mansion back home in England", but he had to answer for Jordan Bane a common friendly boy. "Well, I live on other side of town."

Suddenly, a little boy came up to him. The little blonde boy stared at him intently. "You're not Tony!" He exclaimed.

Jordan looked down at the little boy. "He seems familiar" his other half, Alexander, thought, but quickly pushed those thoughts aside and let Jordan come through. "Um, no, I'm not Tony, I'm Jordan." He squatted down to get a better look at the little boy. "Who are you?"

"I'm Dash!" He shouted.

"Dash" Alexander thought. "Why does that sound so familiar…" The several words connected at once. "Boy, speed, blonde small- no that's just stupid…"

"EARTH TO JORDAN, Come in Jordan! Houston we have a problem." Violet said waving her hand in front of his face. When that did not get his immediate attention, she knocked on his forehead.

"huh!" He said still a little dazed. "Oh, sorry, I just remembered something, but I'll take care of it later." He smiled at her and they walked into the living room.

"Hey kids" Mrs. Parr said poking her head into the living room. "Why don't you work on your home work while I make dinner?" She smiled as they sat down in the living room to start on their homework. They stared on math, much to Violet's dismay. She hated math, especially Algebra, Jordan helped her because he was already done with his.

About the time, they started their history, Mr. Parr walked in the door. "Hey dad!" Dash yelled running across the room and gripping his dad's leg.

"Hey Dash" Mr. Parr said dragging him along. "Hey Vie, hello Ton- Your not Tony"

Jordan turned his green eyed gaze on the blonde man. "I seem to get that a lot lately." He muttered. "No, I'm not Tony, my names Jordan Bane." He stuck out a hand to shake Mr. Parr's hand.

"Robert Parr" He shook it warmly nearly squeezing it off.

"Hey guys, I hope you like steak!" Mrs. Parr said with a smile as she set the table with dishes.

They sat down. While Mrs. Parr fed Jack-Jack, Mr. Parr carried on a light conversation with Jordan. "So, Jordan, do I know your parents?" He asked eating a piece of his dinner.

"I don't think so" He replied. "We only just moved here a few weeks ago."

"Oh, so how are you adjusting?"

"Well enough"

"Well that's incredible- Mr. Parr didn't finish the sentence. Jordan's phone started ringing and he blushed a deep crimson color.

"Uh, if you'll excuse me." He stood up and went to his backpack. "Hello, no, I'm in the middle of dinner, why are you being difficult. Fine, bye!" He slammed the phone closed and looked to his hosts.

"Is everything all right Jordan?" asked Mrs. Parr.

"uh no, I'm sorry, I'm needed home immediately, thank you Mrs. Parr, for the dinner, it was nice to meet you Mr. Parr, Dash, Jack-Jack, and Vie I'll see you tomorrow." He smiled grabbed his bag and left.

Jordan got down the street before turning back into Alexander. He grew a little taller and more muscled. It was nice to be Jordan a down to earth person, but he enjoyed Alex more. The blonde European had more appeal, and charisma. Of course there was always the problem of trying to figure out which one he was some days, because he had to maintain the façade of Jordan while thinking about everything that passed through Alex's mind.

It was so much easier to find his way during the night, since that one night, he explored everything and saved his sister. Elizabeth, he thought ruefully. The girl was miserable, and would not be happy until everyone else she cared about was miserable too. He shook his head and mulled over the conversation with the Parrs.

As he mused, Alexander passed a new stand with Mr. Incredible on the front. He was a blonde man, with blue eyes broad at the shoulders and narrow legs, rather like Mr. Parr. Something Mr. Parr said struck him like a bolt of lightening. "That's incredible" He racked his brain for a definition of the man's super strength. When he shook hands with Violet's dad he felt sure the man would pinch his hand off. Maybe he was-

Alexander stood dead in his thought. No, he did not want to Mr. Parr to be Mr. Incredible; he liked Violet and did not want her to be Miss Disappear. Immediately he put the thoughts behind him and continued walking towards his car.
