Chapter 6: Kept And Broken Rules
The next day the kids got up in silence, the conversation they'd heard still buzzing around their minds.
"Morning kids." Helen said as they walked in. "Hungry?"
"Hey mom." Violet and Dash said in a small voice as they entered. Helen took no notice though, as she was too busy making bacon and eggs.
"Sleep well?" She asked them as she placed plates of hot food on the table. Violet and Dash took their seats and looked at each other.
"I guess so." Dash responded. He picked up his fork and played with his food a bit. Violet watched him.
"Are you two feeling okay? You're awfully quiet this morning." Helen said as she walked over to Dash. She placed her hand on his forehead to see if he had a fever. Dash pushed her away.
"We're fine, mom." Dash said under his breath. Violet looked at him again, then turned to her mother.
"I'm not that hungry." Violet told her as she pushed her plate away. Then she got up.
"Are you sure your all right?" Helen asked as she watched Violet walk back to her bedroom.
"Yeah mom, I'm just fine." Violet said, making sure Helen could hear her. When she was out of earshot she muttered something under her breath. "But not as fine as you want me to be."
Violet got to her room and opened her closet. After a few minutes of rooting through her stuff she found what she was looking for. Her Superhero costume. It was hanging in the back of her closet, away from prying eyes. She took it off the hanger and laid it out on the bed.
"I guess I won't be needing this." Violet told herself slowly. She didn't want to admit it out loud, but she sort of missed the Super hero stuff. She felt free when she was out fighting crime. It was her only chance to be herself. Not the girl she pretended to be a school, but a real hero. It was in her blood, just like her mother had told her.
"But then why would she not let me fight again?" Violet asked herself. Her mom didn't seem to want her to fight. But Violet remembered her telling them she wanted what was best for her kids. This was the best thing for Violet, to be free.
"Violet, the bus is coming!" Helen called to her. Violet quickly took the outfit and shoved it under the bed and rushed outside to go.
"Bye kids." She called to them. "Have a good day!" There was no response.
Helen closed the door and went back inside to take care of Jack-Jack, who was still in his highchair.
"Why can't they be more like you?" She asked him casually, as if he could answer. He gurgled at her and tried to get free from the chair.
On the bus, Violet took her usual seat in the middle, near no one. Dash went to the back to meet up with his friend, Jason.
"Hey Dash, what's up?" Jason asked as Dash took his seat from across from him.
Dash looked down at the floor, clearly unhappy.
"What's wrong?" Jason asked him, hoping for a response. Dash looked up at his best friend. He wanted to tell, but he couldn't. He wasn't allowed to let his true identity slip, much as he wanted to.
"It's nothing... my parents just punished me for failing is all." He replied sullenly.
"I'm still coming over though, right?" Jason asked in a worried tone.
"Yeah, of course you are. Your helping me study, right?" Dash said, smiling a bit. Jason nodded and winked, though Dash didn't catch it. Then Dash turned to look out the window and Jason smiled.
The ride to school was uneventful for the Parr children. They sat in silence for the whole ride as more kids filed on the bus. When they got to school, they were the last ones off the bus.
"Dash, come over here for a minute." Violet said to Dash in a hushed voice. She pulled him out of the crowd and off to the side.
"What is it now?" Dash asked, a bit annoyed at her.
"I just wanted to tell you that I think mom suspects something." Violet told him urgently.
"So..." Dash said sarcastically.
"So act happier. People are gonna think something's wrong with us." Violet told him
"Well, you have to do it too." Dash accused her.
"I am, now go to class." Violet finished, pushing him along. Then the two went their separate ways.
At home, Helen was trying to wake her husband up from his slumber.
"Honey, wake up. It's 10:00 already." Helen said, rubbing his back. She extended her arm and pulled the covers off completely, thus waking him.
"What is it?" He asked, still in a daze.
"We have to go if we want to do this before the kids get home." Helen told him quietly.
"Oh, right." Bob replied, getting out of bed.
A few minutes later, the two were in their car and on their way to become heros again.
"Now, remember, don't tell the kids about this." Helen warned him.
"I know."
"And we're resigning if there are any problems." Helen said again.
"I know!"
"Turn here, Bob!" Helen said, pointing to an exit off the road.
"No, we go straight here, remember?" Bob told her, a bit annoyed.
"No, we turn here." She told him. Bob drove past the exit without looking back.
"I know what I"m doing, Elastigirl." Bob said. Helen sighed as she crossed her arms.
They pulled up to the police station and Bob parked the car.
"You know, we would've gotten here quicker if you had listened to me." Helen told him. The two got out of the car and walked up to the building. But instead of going inside, they turned and went into a small ally next to the station. At the end was a phone booth, which was connected to the wall.
"You remember what to do, don't you." Helen asked as she smiled at him.
"Of course I remember." Bob replied. They walked up to it and Bob opened the door to it. He punched in a number and it spoke.
"Name please?" It asked them.
"Bob and Helen Parr." He said in the speaker.
"One moment please." It said, and then retracted into the wall. Then, a few seconds later, the phone booth slid into the ground and disappeared, leaving a doorway. Helen and Bob stepped through, and the phone booth slid into place again, leaving no trace of the two that had just walked through it.
Bob and Helen walked up to the front desk, where a lady was sitting.
"Can I help you?" She asked in a polite voice.
"Yes, we're here about become Super Heros again." Bob said to her.
"Okay, someone will be right with you." She replied and pushed a button on a keyboard.
A few seconds later, a man walked out into the hall and went over to the Parrs.
"You're here to become Super Heros, huh?" He asked them. Bob and Helen nodded their heads. "Follow me then." He said. They followed him into a room coming off of the main lobby area.
"Make yourselves comfortable." He told them. They sat down in front of his desk as he took a seat behind it.
"So, have you ever been a hero before?" He asked the, leaning back on the chair.
"Yes we have, but we we're part of the Super Hero Relocation Act for about fifteen years." Bob told the man. He nodded.
"And why do you want to leave the program?" He asked casually.
"Well, we just wanted to get back into it for a bit, to see if we can manage it on top of a family." Helen told him. He nodded again.
"May I see your ID's?" He said, holding his hand out. Both Bob and Helen reached into their pockets and withdrew small cards. Their old ID's. They gave them to him and he inspected them.
"Hmm, Elastigirl and Mr. Incredible." He muttered to himself. Bob and Helen looked at each other. "Weren't you the one's who stopped Syndrome?"
"Yes, that was us." Helen replied.
"Weren't there two others with you when you did that?" He asked her.
"Well our kids helped out a bit." Bob said, looking at his wife.
"Where are they now?"
"We didn't think they were ready to become full time Superheros yet." Helen told him in a confident voice.
"Very well then, you have you suits, right?" He asked them.
"Yes." Bob said to him.
"Okay, then your all set. I'll send your new ID's as soon as there ready, probably by tomorrow. We probably won't ask much for now, just a few night patrols and stuff like that. You can handle that, right?"
Helen looked at him for a bit without responding, thinking about what he had said. Bob spoke up before she could change her mind though.
"That's fine, thank-you very much."
"Your welcome." He said, dismissing them from the room. Helen and Bob got up slowly and exited.
"Bob, what if this doesn't work out?" Helen asked her husband. Bob smiled at her.
"Were Superheros, what could happen?" He told her, repeating the very words she had told him not too long ago. Helen smiled at him as the two walked out the door together, hand in hand.
"Hi mom." Dash and Violet said as they walked into the house. Helen looked up from playing with Jack-Jack.
"Hi kids, how was school?" She asked them.
"Okay, I guess." Dash replied.
"That's good."
"Jason is coming over in a few minutes, okay mom!" Dash said as he sped off to his room.
"Okay, make sure you study though." Helen called off to him as he closed the door. She doubted he even heard her though. Violet sat down on the couch beside her.
"So, how was your day?" Helen asked her.
"Same old, same old." Violet responded. Helen put her arm around her shoulder.
"Is everything okay between you and Tony?" Helen asked slowly. She didn't want to upset Violet again.
"Yeah, everything's okay." She said, turning to watch Jack-Jack. She didn't want to tell her mom everything. She hadn't even talked to him yet, yet she told her it was fine. Did that mean she didn't care about him anymore. Tony, the boy she had been crushing on for the whole year. Could she really be over him and moving on. She didn't think it was even possible, until now.
"That's good." Helen said as she hugged her daughter. "I don't like to see you so upset."
Violet smiled, then got up and walked to her room. Helen smiled as she left, not suspecting for even a second that Violet might be lying. But Violet didn't exactly lie to her. Lie was such a strong word.
A few minutes later, the doorbell rang. Helen got up to answer it. She opened the door to a fairly short boy.
"Hello, is Dash there?" He asked her.
"You must be Jason, right?" Helen said to him. He nodded his head. "Hold on, I'll get him. DASH, your friend is here!"
"Okay!" He called back. Then he ran as quick as he could to the door, which was about point 2 seconds for him. Helen left them and gave Dash a warning look before she left, letting him know to watch it and not use his powers. Dash smiled back as she left them.
"Hey Dash, what's up?" Jason asked as he walked into the house.
"Nothing much. "He responded, leading Jason into the house. "Come on, let's go to my room."Jason followed Dash, looking around as he went.
"Welcome to my room!" Dash said with enthusiasm as they entered Dash's messy room. Jason looked around.
"So this is your room, huh?" Jason asked, walking around. "Whose got the room across the hall?" He asked casually.
"My sister, Violet. But you don't want to go in there. Too girly!" Dash said to him. Jason laughed.
"So, are we gonna study?" Jason said, taking out a bunch of math papers.
"I guess so." Dash said dully. He wasn't really looking forward to studying with his friend. He'd rather fool around. But he knew he'd get in trouble if he did, so he sat down and pulled out his project.
A few minutes later, Dash was already drifting off into dreamland as Jason explained long division to him.
"You want to do something else now?" Dash asked, interrupting Jason in mid-sentence.
"Um, won't your mom get mad?" Jason asked as he smirked a bit.
"Not if we only take a short break. We can get something to eat or something." Dash suggested.
"Okay." Jason said, getting up and walking over to the door. Dash followed him.
The two boys snuck out into the hall and peeked into the living room. Violet was sitting on the floor, playing with Jack-Jack. Mrs. Parr was in the kitchen. The two of them tip-toed across the room quietly. Violet took no notice and continued to play with her youngest brother. Jason didn't think it would cause any harm if he glanced at her. He looked over and was surprised to find that Violet's hand was missing. He blinked a bit and when he opened his eyes, it was back. Was he hallucinating? He looked back and saw it again. Her hand disappeared and reappeared in an instant. Jack-Jack seemed to love this and squealed with joy every time her hand reappeared.
"Come on over here." Dash said, pulling Jason into the kitchen and looked around to see if the coast was clear. When he saw his mom was across the room putting dishes away, he ventured out a bit farther.
"Wait here" He said. Jason nodded as he looked over a Violet again, but she was hidden behind the sofa, hidden from his view. He turned back and came face to face with a gust of air and the Dash appeared in front of him holding a box of cookies.
"Come on, lets go." Dash said, grabbing his hand. Jason followed, but decided to look back purely out of interest. He then caught a glimpse of Mrs. Parr, reaching to put the plates away... from across the room! Apparently her arm had somehow extended to twice it's normal length. Jason was amazed.
When they were safely back in Dash's room, the two of them sat down.
"Cookies?" Dash asked, offering him the bow. Jason nodded his head and took one.
"Hey Dash, are the people in you family Supers?" Jason questioned. Dash's jaw dropped, letting a cookie fall out and on to the floor.
"Are you?" Jason asked again.
"Why would you ask that?" Dash said in astonishment. Jason shrugged his shoulders.
"I dunno, I just thought it was odd that your sister could make her hand disappear and you mom could stretch her arms. And you seemed to appear out of nowhere a few seconds ago." Jason told him.
Dash didn't know what to do. Jason seemed to know everything. He wondered how he had found out in the first place. His family was pretty good at keeping their identities a secret.
"Um, you must be mistaken." Dash said, sitting down on the ground again.
"I know what I saw." Jason said in a stern tone. "So, are you Supers?"
"Ummm..." Dash said slowly. He knew he shouldn't tell, but since he already knew, it couldn't hurt anymore. "Yes, we are." Dash said.
A few minutes later, Dash found himself spilling all the family's secret information. He told him about their powers, how they defeated Syndrome, even showed him his costume. Jason listened intently, taking in every single detail Dash told him. When he was done demonstrating his powers, Dash told him one last thing.
"You can't tell anyone about this though!" Dash said, rounding on Jason.
"Don't worry, your secret's safe with me." Jason said, putting his hand over his heart. "Want to hear one of my secrets?"
"Sure." Dash said, wondering what it could be.
"I'm a Super too." Jason told him. Once again, Dash's jaw dropped.
"Really, what's your power?" Dash said, getting all excited.
"This!" Jason said, demonstrating his power. He held up his hands and instantly, Dash's papers flew into his hands. Soon after, Dash's pillow lifted off his bed and stuck itself to the ceiling.
"Whoa, you can levitate objects... without touching them!?" Dash said as he stood up. "That's awesome!"
"Just don't tell anyone, okay?" Jason said.
"I won't if you won't." Dash told him, now putting his hand over his heart. The two smiled at each other and sat down before Mrs. Parr found out what they were up to.
A/N: Yeah, The Incredibles are back in business... well, half of them anyways. Well, now you know what's up with Jason!! heehee, bet you weren't expecting that.... or where you? I'll update soon, so keep reading!!!:)
