Well, here's chapter 11! I'm amazed so many people have reviewed this, I wasn't expecting to get that many. (The story's not that good... is it?) Hope you like the next chapter!
Chapter 11: A Sneak Out
The next morning Violet was woken by her brother's continuous yells.
"Why do I have to do it now?" Dash whined. He was sitting at the table in the kitchen with his math project in front of him.
"Because it's due tomorrow and you have barley started it." Helen responded to him.
"I did some of it." Dash muttered under his breath.
"That's not good enough, Dash." Helen told him. Dash looked at the floor and sulked. "I thought your friend was going to help you finish this."
"Uh.." Was all Dash could say. He couldn't tell his mom that he had been showing off the whole time.
"What were you two doing all that time?" Helen asked him as she tapped her foot and awaited his response. Dash looked away. He wanted to tell her that he let the secret slip. He wanted to tell her what he thought to be true. But something stopped him.
"We were just fooling around a bit." He responded sullenly. Helen raised a brow.
"And..."
"That's it." Dash finished. Helen sighed and crouched to Dash's level.
"No more friends over from now on until your homework is done, got it?" Helen said. Dash lookedat herand nodded.
"Fine." He mumbled. He said no more as he was busy thinking about what had happened that day.
"Now finish this up. I want it done before dinner tonight." Helen said. Then she left Dash to go end to Jack-Jack. Dash pulled the packet in front of him and began to work on it.
"What's going on?" Violet asked as she stepped out into the hallway as her mother walked past.
"Nothing, your brother's just finishing his homework up." Helen said without stopping. She walked into the bedroom and closed the door. Violet shrugged her shoulders and went to find Dash.
"What are you doing?" Violet asked upon entering the kitchen. She grabbed a bowl and filled it with cereal.
"Homework." Mumbled Dash, not even looking up. Violet smiled at this response. For once her brother seemed miserable. More miserable than her even. That was a rare occurrence.
Violet wandered into the living room and sat down on the sofa. She thought about what she was going to attempt that evening. She hoped her parents wouldn't find out about this. They would kill her if they found out she was sneaking out. No, she wasn't sneaking out. She would tell them she was leaving, just not why. Now she would just have to hope that they wouldn't ask about it.
"Mom!" Dash called through the house, clearly needing help. He sounded annoyed. A few seconds later she heard her mother call back.
"I'll be there in a minute."
"What's the matter?" Violet teased her brother as she put the empty bowl in the sink.
"Shut up Violet." Dash responded. Then he chucked his pen at her. Violet caught it in mid-air.
"I wouldn't do that if I were you." She told him. Dash glared back and ran up to get the pen.
"What's the matter Dash?" Helen asked as she walked up to him.
"Her." He said, pointing at Violet.
"Am not." She yelled back.
"Violet, please leave." Helen said. Violet turned to leave, but not before sticking her tongue out at her brother. Dash responded by doing the same.
"I saw that young man." Helen said as she looked over his paper.
Violet wandered into her bedroom and closed the door. She went into her closet and pulled out the hanger that bore her superhero costume. She wasn't sure if she should wear it or not.
"I could use it for sneaking out of the house." She thought out loud to herself. But then she would have to bring a change of clothes, which could not be turned invisible. She wasn't about to take a walk in a bright red leotard and mask. Kyle would know right away it was her. So that was out of the question. She still was debating on wether to wear it under her clothes or not.
"It's not like he's a threat or anything." She told herself. And it wasn't like she was the only super around. She lived in a whole family of them for crying out loud.
"LevitoForce is back!" Bob called though the house suddenly. Helen and Dash looked up at him as he walked into the kitchen. "I'm going downtown to help.""Can I go too?" Dash asked excitedly to Helen. Helen was about to say no, but she figured that it would only lead to more whining and pleading. Instead, she gave in to avoid further argument.
"Fine, you can go. But you have to finish this when you get back." She told him. Dash nodded and sped off to his room to change.
"Are you going to come too?" Bob asked Helen. She looked up at him, a bit shocked.
"Do you need me?" She asked back.
"We may." He said. She highly doubted this was true. After all, LevitoForce was just a young child, as surprising as it was.
"Fine, I'll tag along." She said back. Then she too went to her bedroom to change. Bob waited for them in the kitchen.
"Hey Bob," Helen called from inside the bedroom.
"Yeah?" He called back.
"Is Violet coming too? Otherwise we'll have to do something with Jack-Jack."
"I'll ask her." He called back. Then he went over to her bedroom door and knocked.
"Come in." Violet answered. Bob opened the door and stepped in.
"Were going downtown, care to join us?" He asked her. Violet needed not to ask what for. This was given away quickly due to the mask that Bob, or rather, Mr. Incredible was holding.
"I'll be right there." She said. Bob nodded and left, closing the door behind him.
"She's coming." Bob said, knocking on the door to their bedroom.
"You can come in if you want. You don't have to stand out there." Helen replied back. Bob slowly opened the door and walked into the room.
"Violet's coming then?" Helen asked as she sat down on the bed and pulled on her boots.
"Yeah, she's coming." Bob responded.
"What do you want to do with Jack-Jack?" Helen asked him, motioning to Jack-Jack, who was sleeping on their bed.
"Do you think he will be alright by himself for a while? Bob asked, even if he knew his wife would never approve.
"No, we are not leaving him here alone!" Helen said as she looked through the closet for a shirt to wear over her costume.
"We could call Kari." Bob said jokingly.
"No!" Helen replied, buttoning up her shirt over the spandex outfit underneath. "I don't think she handled it very well the last time."
"I was just kidding." Bob said. "We could always call a service."
"Are we really going to be gone that long?" Helen asked his as she pulled on a pair of pants over the boots.
"No, I don't think so. We could always take him along with us." Bob suggested. Helen looked over to her sleeping son, not really wanting to wake him up.
"Fine, we'll call a service." She finally answered. She grabbed her mask of the dresser and gave her husband a quick kiss on the cheek before going off to use the phone. Then Bob went to round up the children.
"You guys take forever." Violet said as her dad walked into the living room. Violet and Dash were all ready to go and had been waiting for there parents for a good five minutes.
"We didn't take that long." Bob told them.
"LevitoForce will be long gone by the time we get there." Dash said hurriedly as he made his way towards the door.
"Wait for your mother. And don't worry about LevitoForce. There was just a sighting of him heading downtown. He's probably not even there yet." Bob reassured the kids. By this time, Helen had walked into the room.
"Is everyone ready?" She asked he family.
"Finally!" Dash said, throwing his hands up in the air. Helen took that as a yes.
A couple of minutes later, the family was downtown, Violet and Dash looking out for the enemy.
"There he is!" Violet said, pointing up at the sky. Sure enough, a silver figure could be seen flying through the sky. Bob punched in a few numbers on the cars computer and found the interception point.
"Cool, can I try?" Dash asked, reaching up for the computer.
"NO!" Both Helen and Bob said in unison. Dash quickly withdrew his hand.
About a minute later, the family got out of the car, all clad in bright red matching outfits. The family's logo emblazoned on each one.
"Ready?" Mr. Incredible asked his family. They all nodded back in agreement. Then, as if on cue, LeviotoForce landed in front of the bank. He walked up the steps and up to the door.
"And just where do you think your going?" Mr. Incredible asked him as he stood in his path.
"Move it." LevitoForce responded, trying to push his way through. He had no luck. Mr. Incredible picked him up and threw him into the air. While sailing through the air, he halted. Mr. Incredible forgot he had the power of flight.
"Aren't you a bit young to be robbing a bank?" Elastigirl called to him, grabbing his foot and dragging him back to earth.
"That's none of your business." He responded. After, he raised his hands and a moment later, Elastigirl was sent sailing through the air. She threw a punch at him from about twenty feet, but he easily dodged it. It was as if he knew what was coming.
Violet decided to step in.
"Take this!" She said, though she could not be seen. LevitoForce quickly looked around and raised his hands again.
"Ow." Violet called as a large rock collided with her body. She was knocked to the ground.
"Hey, you can't do that!" Dash yelled as he ran full speed up to him. He stopped when he was a few inches from his face and looked him in the eye, which was easy to do considering they were about the same height.
"Why not? What are you going to do to me if I do?" He asked Dash. Dash didn't have a good answer. He would've liked to lash out at him, but something stopped him.
"You can't do anything to harm me, can you Incrediboy?" He asked.
"My name is not Incrediboy!" Dash said to him. By now, his whole family was waiting for him to do something, but Dash couldn't.
"Sure you are. There's Mr. Incredible, Mrs. Incredible, Incredigirl, so you must be Incrediboy." He said logically.
"I am not!" Dash said back, raising his fist.
"You sure look it, especially with the matching outfits." He said with a chuckle. Dash looked back at his family. He saw why LevitoForce would say that and he didn't like it one bit. His dad had told him about when Syndrome was younger. How he called himself Incrediboy. There was no way Dash was gong to take that name.
"I am not Incrediboy!" Dash yelled back, his family still watching him.
"Would you prefer something else then? How about... Dashiell Parr?" He said. Dash was about to say something, but stopped. He knew his real name. That couldn't be possible. Unless...
"See you later Incrediboy!" LevitoForce called out to him. Dash stood there and watched him take off from the ground and fly away. He looked down at the ground, not wanting to believe what he had just hear, as LevitoForce flew out of sight.
"Why didn't you do anything to stop him?" Violet questioned a few minutes later as the family rode home in the car. Dash just stared out the window and didn't answer. "Why not?" Violet asked again.
"Go away." Dash said under his breath.
"I can't." Violet said pointing out the obvious.
"Violet, leave your brother alone." Helen said, stopping the arguing.
"I was just wondering." Violet told her mother.
"I'm sure there's a reason for it." Helen said. Violet sighed and looked at the clock. It read 5:00.
"Mom, can I get out here?" Violet suddenly said out of nowhere. Helen looked at her daughter incredulously.
"Why would you want to do that?" She asked her.
"I uh, told a friend from school I'd meet her up at the library at 5:15" She responded. It wasn't a complete lie, except for the library and the 'she' part. But she was meeting someone from school.
"The library isn't for another mile or so. We could drive you there if you need us to." Bob said from the driver's seat.
"That's okay, I wanna walk." She said as they passed the corner she told Kyle she would meet him at.
"Alright, are you sure you don't-" Helen started.
"I want to walk." Violet cut in. Upon hearing this, Bob stopped the car and let Violet out.
"You be back home at dinner time, okay." Helen said to her through the open window.
"Okay mom, bye." Violet said. The car drove off and Violet set off down the street slowly. When the car turned another corner and drove out of sight, she turned around and went back to the corner.
"Hi Vi." A familiar voice called out. Violet turned around to she Kyle walking down the street.
"Hi." She called out and waved to him. She walked up to him.
"How have you been?" He asked her.
"Oh, I've been okay." She replied and smiled. "How about you?"
"Alright I guess." He said back. "Shall we take a walk."
"Sure." Violet said to him. He walked a bit ahead, waiting for Violet to catch up to him. Violet was a bit reluctant because he was heading in the direction of her house, but she figured they'd turn down another street sooner or later and hurried to catch up to him.
They talked for the whole walk and soon Violet forgot where they were. She was too engaged in their conversation to care.
"So, where do you live?" He asked her. Violet stopped talking and looked around to tell him which street was hers. Then she discovered something both shocking and bad. They were right in front of her house.
"Right there." She said, looking quickly down the other street.
"Nice house, but what wrong with the lawn?" He asked her as he inspected it. He was referring to the piles of rubble in the yard that they had not cleaned up yet.
"Oh, there was an explosion here awhile ago." She replied, still looking the other way.
"That one involving Syndrome?" He asked her.
"Yeah, how did you know?" She asked back.
"It's been all over the news for about a week after it happened." He told her.
"Oh." Was all Violet could say. "Why don't we go down here?" She said, pointing to the street she had been looking down.
"Alright." He said as she led him quickly across the street. He looked back one more time at her house and smiled.
"Mom?" Dash called out. He walked away from the window and into the kitchen.
"What now Dash?" Helen asked as she was putting the dishes away.
"Where's Violet?"
"She's at the library with her friend." Helen replied. "Did you ever finish that project?" She asked, changing the subject.
"No." Dash muttered as he sat down at the table.
About an hour later, Violet walked through the front door and into the kitchen.
"Hi Dash, where's mom and dad?" She asked him.
"In their bedroom." Dash responded, not looking up from his project.
"Thanks." Violet said as she grabbed an apple from the counter.
"Hey Vi, who were you with?" Dash asked her. Violet turned to face him.
"I told you I was with a friend from school at the library." She told him after swallowing.
"No, I mean who were you walking with, who was he?" Dash said again. Violet nearly dropped the apple on the floor.
"What are you talking about?" She asked, quickly recovering from the shock. She turned to walk out of the kitchen.
"Don't worry, I won't tell." He said as she disappeared into her bedroom.
A/N: Well, Dash knows what Violet's up to now... but he won't tell? (Wonder if he'll keep his promise? Yes, I know it took forever for the Parr's to get down to fight LevitoForce, but too bad (I liked writing that part) Don't worry, the next chapter will be a lot more interesting, I promise! I'll update soon!
