Well…..this is awkward. Hey everyone, been about two months since I touched this story, huh? I am so sorry about the long wait. Between dealing with my new job, preparing for an Extra Life stream, doing said stream for almost 8 hours because I'm insane like that, Canadian Thanksgiving, my little brother's 19th birthday, and gift shopping, I have been incredibly exhausted and needed proper sleep along with being burnt out for a while.

Pun not intended.

But now that I'm settling into a new routine and with my current set of days off, I should be able to work on this for a bit more but please understand that there will still be more delays.

Also, I have put out a new story that will be a collection of Snippets set both during and after Ruby and Co.'s stay at Lex's estate. I have several snippets ready to be posted as they kept popping into my head.


First, reviews:

The Keeper of Worlds: Glad to hear it!

IM SO EXCITED: I see that you just can't hide it

OmniUIShaggyOverexaggerated: Hopefully.

Jlargent: It'll definitely happen but I don't know how Pyrrha and Ramona are similar. Could you elaborate?

SiriusBlack921: Hopefully I don't disappoint and yeah, Ruby's gonna need extra cuddles from Cinder when we get to that scene.

Katana of the Blade: Thank you! Hopefully I did a good job.

Blackmetalzane22: Glad you are and yes I did it as the first snippet since it started to become its own thing.

Chronosign: Yeah, this was something that Katana noticed and brought to my attention as well. Hopefully if someone does it this time, it won't be abandoned?

Joanne Frances Tiano Cajilig: Glad that I did.

Now that those are done, on with the reaction!


We start on a film reel beginning to play an old interview before seeing a man in a black and blue suit and black eye mask struggling to put a small microphone on. He tapped the mic and looked at the studio crew. "Is this on?" The interviewer told him that it was fine as he continued to struggle getting the thing on. "I mean I can break through walls, I just can't…I can't get this on." He finally managed to get it on his suit, right next to the red dot of his suit's 'i' logo.

Winter raised an eyebrow at the film grain and audio quality. "How old is this film, Sunset?"

The anthro mare shrugged. "Almost two decades old now, why?"

"The grain and audio suggests that it is much older."

Sunset smirked. "That's on purpose actually, the film is set in 1947 so the audio has that distinct quality to it that my wife really enjoys from older films. You'll notice more things like that during the film."

"1947? So two years after what was known as 'W-W-II'?"

Sunset nodded solemnly. "That's kind of why I felt like showing this film to you guys instead of X-Men."

Weiss looked at Winter in confusion and the elder Schnee shook her head. "I have a feeling that Lexious will explain it when we watch that film." Weiss nodded and relaxed with her sister.

Sunset looked at Winter and spoke to her mentally. "Thanks, Winter. I take it you read some of Earth's history last night?"

Winter gave a subtle nod. "I did, that man was a monster and a coward."

The interviewer started off with a simple question as the man's hero name came up. "So, Mr. Incredible… do you have a secret identity?"

The man being interviewed was the muscular hero, Mr. Incredible. He cleared his throat before answering her. "Every superhero has a secret identity. I don't know a single one who doesn't. Who wants the pressure of being super all the time?"

A woman wearing a spandex outfit of red and white with a red eye mask and 'EG' on her chest rolled her eyes. The woman was the rubber hero, Elastigirl. "Of course I have a secret identity. Can you see me in this at the supermarket? Come on. Who'd want to go shopping as Elastigirl, y'know what I mean?"

The third interviewee was a man in a blue and white suit with a visor that covered his eyes entirely. This was the freezing hero, Frozone. "Superladies, they're always trying to tell you their secret identity. Think it'll strengthen the relationship or something like that. I said, 'Girl, I don't want to know about your mild-mannered alter ego or anything like that.' I mean, you tell me you're a super-mega-ultra-lightning-babe, that's all right with me. I'm good. I'm good."

Everyone's eyes widened as they recognized his voice immediately. Neo voiced their thoughts. "Is that Fury?!"

Sunset nodded. "Yup, the director of this film had only one person in mind for this role. Samuel L. Jackson, but you know him better as Director Nick Fury from the MCU. In fact, Fury's comic counterpart in Marvel's 'Ultimates' comic line was actually based on Samuel L. Jackson."

Emerald nodded. "Talk about perfect casting."

"The director said that he wanted the coolest voice for Frozone." Yang snorted at the little pun. (1)

Mr. Incredible shook his head. "No matter how many times you save the world, it always manages to get back in jeopardy again. Sometimes I just want it to stay saved, you know? For a little bit. I feel like the maid. 'I just cleaned up this mess. Can we keep it clean for ten minutes?!'"

Glynda and Qrow had a good chuckle at that as it reminded them of some missions they had done while they were still students.

Everyone laughed at his joke and he got up and tried to leave but sat back down after being told the interview wasn't done. He sighed. "Sometimes l think I'd just like the simple life, you know? Relax a little and raise a family."

Elastigirl shook her head. "Settle down? Are you kidding? I'm at the top of my game! I'm right up there with the big dogs! Girls, come on. Leave the saving of the world to the men?" She laughed as the screen faded to black. "I don't think so! I don't think so."

THE INCREDIBLES


We fade into a high speed chase as a pair of bank robbers try to evade the cops. One of the robbers loaded his gun and began firing on the cop car, which forced the officers to swerve into oncoming traffic to avoid the hail of bullets before firing back.

We cut to a man in a tux driving down through the city while listening to the radio before it was interrupted by a report about the chase and gave him the location. He immediately pressed a button to reveal a screen and dial that he changed from 'Manual' to 'Isolate Pursuit'. Once he saw how close he was, he looked at his watch. "Yeah, I've got time." He switched the dial to 'Merge Pursuit' and the car began to drive while he changed into his super suit, it was Mr. Incredible! As he sat back up the car changed into the Icredi-mobile, Mr. Incredible pressed a big red button and activated the boost.

Meanwhile a senior citizen was trying to get something from a tree until she spotted the hero's car and tried to get his attention. "Mr. lncredible. Oh, Mr. Incredible…" She started walking into the middle of the street to get him to stop.

Yang groaned into her hands. "Fucking dumbass pedestrians! It's people like you that cause a lot of accidents, lady!"

Sunset nodded. "Preach to the choir on that one, Yang." She had many near accidents due to pedestrians just walking in the middle of the road when the crosswalk was less than 20 feet away from them. (2)

Mr. Incredible was thankfully able to stop in time, he looked at the woman. "What is it, ma'am?"

She looked up at the tree. "My cat, Squeaker, won't come down." Her cat meowed to emphasize her point.

Yang snickered before feeling her partner glaring at her and Yang put her hands up in surrender. Ruby, however, whispered to her girlfriend. "Blake got spooked by Zwei so badly once, that she ended up being stuck in a tree, she even slept up there and somehow forgot she could climb down."

Ruby and Cinder struggled to contain their giggles while Blake glared at them. "Your ass is mine after this film, Rose."

Mr. Incredible got out of his vehicle and moved to the tree. "Certainly, ma'am but I suggest you stand clear. There could be trouble."

"No, no. He's quite tame."

Mr. Incredible just lifted the tree and started shaking it to get the cat to let go. His car let off an alert before he spotted the chase getting close to him. He started shaking the tree harder. "Let go now!" The cat finally let go and he used the tree to bring the robbers to a sudden stop as their car crashed into it.

"And they're dead." Qrow shook his head.

Jaune shook his head. "Nope, just got the wind knocked out of them."

Qrow looked at the blonde teen. "And how do you figure that?"

Glynda smirked at Qrow. "Comic book logic, Qrow." Everyone looked at her in shock while she merely shrugged. "It wasn't just D&D that I was into when I was a student, I also read comics and graphic novels from time to time." (3)

Mr. Incredible put the tree back into place as the cops thanked and complimented him for helping catch the robbers. He smiled and waved it off. "No, I'm just here to help." His car's police scanner notified him of a tour bus robbery and he looked at his watch. "Tour bus robbery. I've still got time. Officers. Ma'am. Squeaker." He got into his car only to hear someone in his passenger seat.

A young boy wearing a homemade costume was excited. "Cool! Ready for take-off!"

Mr. Incredible looked at the kid in shock. "What the…? Who are you supposed to be?"

"Well, I'm lncrediBoy."

Mr. Incredible was stunned at this. "What? No. You're that kid from the fan club." He tried to remember the kid's name. "Brophy. Brody. Buddy! Buddy!"

Buddy wasn't amused that he wasn't being taken seriously. "My name is lncrediBoy."

Mr. Incredible sighed. "Look, I've been nice, I've stood for photos, signed every scrap of paper you pushed at me but this is…"

Buddy interrupted him. "No, you don't have to worry about training me. I know all your moves, your crime fighting style, favorite catch phrases, everything! I'm your number one fan!" He was promptly kicked out of the car and Mr. Incredible took off while Buddy called out to him.

Ruby blushed as that reminded the young reaper way too much of herself. "P-Professor Valkyrie?"

Glynda smiled a bit at hearing Ruby calling her by her new surname and looked at her. "Yes, Ruby?"

"Was I that bad when you and Ozpin interviewed me?"

"I can assure you, Ruby. You were nowhere near as bad as that boy. A bit childish, yes, but you would have definitely made Summer proud."

Ruby sighed in relief. "Thank Oum."


We cut to a rooftop where the tour bus thief was looking for something of value. Mr. Incredible approached him from behind. "You know... you can tell a lot about a woman by the contents of her purse, but maybe that's not what you had in mind."

The thief nervously brought out a gun only to get knocked out by someone else. That someone was none other than Elastigirl.

Some of the girls' jaws drop at seeing Elastigirl's figure. Emerald was glad that no one could see her face as she was blushing up a storm at seeing the Elastic Hero as she started picturing Blake in that outfit.

Mr. Incredible was shocked. "Elastigirl."

Elastigirl grinned and put her hands on her hips. "Mr. lncredible." She picked up the thief.

"No, it's all right. I've got him."

Elastigirl smirked and dropped the thief. "Sure, you've got him. I just took him out for you."

"Sure, you took him out. His attention was on me."

"A fact I exploited to do my job."

"My job, you mean."

"A simple thank you will suffice."

"Thanks, but I don't need any help."

Pyrrha groaned. "Will you two just bang already?" Everyone looked at her surprise. "Just because my boyfriend is dense," Jaune blushed a bit at that reminder. "Doesn't mean that I am. Plus it's pretty obvious that this is more than playful banter. Oum, I'm still surprised that it took Katana to get Nora and Ren together."

Sunset smirked. "Well, Nora was acting like a tsundere with her feelings."

"At least she didn't go yandere." Penny shuddered and held up her hand when she saw Ruby about to ask for a translation. "You don't wanna know, Ruby." (4)

Sunset paled slightly, but thankfully everyone was paying more attention to the movie. "Thank Aunt Luna that didn't happen to me when I started crushing on my wife when we first met, though I came close when I saw the human version of Cadance openly flirting with her. Good thing that she told me that she was doing playful banter to help set her up with the human version of Big Mac." She gently thumbed her wedding ring and smiled softly when she thought of her mate mark. (5)

"Whatever happened to "ladies first"?"

"Well, whatever happened to equal treatment?"

The thief tried to get up. "Hey, look, the lady got me first..." Ironically, he got knocked out again by Elastigirl.

Weiss tried to stop herself from snorting at seeing the thief getting hit again.

Elastigirl approached the muscular hero. "Well, we could share, you know."

"I work alone."

Elastigirl grinned cheekily "Well, I think you need to be more…" She showed off just how much more maneuverable she was before grinning seductively. "flexible."

Penny briefly played an audio clip as her voice changed to male. "Ohhhh my!"

Sunset blushed and mentally giggled when she remembered Anko doing something like that. "Cadenza, the things that kunoichi can do with her tongue. Mmm, Mama Sunset like."

"Are you doing anything later?"

Elastigirl smirked. "I have a previous engagement." She soon left after teasing her fellow hero while he whistled in appreciation.

Yang and Neo smirked at each other before Yang asked Emerald a question. "So who looks better, Emerald? Elastigirl or Blake?"

Emerald was confused at the question. "Blake obviously looks better." She failed to notice Blake was blushing up a storm while Yang grinned.

Ruby grinned as she saw what Yang was doing. "So do you prefer her Bellabooty or her Bellaboobies?"

Emerald gained a really heavy blush and refused to answer but accidentally told Blake telepathically. "Her B-Bellabooty is really appealing. Oum, if she wore that for Halloween, I would be at her mercy and ask her out on the spot." Needless to say, Blake's blush got even worse while Sunset shook her head with a soft smile. (6)


It was now night as Mr. Incredible handcuffed the thief to a pipe. "Now, you just stay here. They usually pick up the garbage in an hour."

Mr. Incredible spotted a helicopter shooting at Frozone. "Hey, Incredible!"

"Hey, Frozone!"

"Shouldn't you be getting ready?"

Mr. Incredible checked his watch. "I still got time." Suddenly he turned around hearing a crowd screaming while a woman cried out that someone was gonna jump. He saw someone jump off the roof of a tall building, with the crowd's screaming magnified. He ran forward, and caught him just in time as he ran into the building.

The man groaned. "I think you broke something."

"Well with counseling, I think you'll come to forgive me." Something caught his attention. "Wait a minute." He dragged the man to safety, and heard noises from the wall. His eyes widened and he quickly took cover with the Seal Door, right as a bomb exploded, leaving smoke and a hole in the wall."

From the hole a person wearing mime attire and makeup emerged with an evil smile. This was the French explosive villain, Bomb Voyage.

Velvet shudders. "Bloody mimes. They creep the hell out of me." She quickly turned to Neo. "Oh! No offense, Neo."

Neo waved it off. "None taken, even when I was mute those guys creeped me out too."

Mr. Incredible coughed as he moved the door away before glaring at the villain. "Bomb Voyage!"

Bomb Voyage was annoyed at seeing the hero. "Monsieur Incroyable!" Mr. Incredible!

Penny sighed in relief at seeing the translation subtitles.

Unfortunately, Buddy followed the hero. "And IncrediBoy!"

Everyone groaned at seeing this kid.

Bomb Voyage was confused. "IncrediBoy?"

Buddy activated some rocket boots and flew to the duo while trying to show off to the hero. "Hey, hey! Aren't you curious about how I get around so fast? See? I have these rocket boots-"

Mr. Incredible was having none of it. "Go home, Buddy."

"What?"

"Now."

Even Bomb Voyage was getting annoyed by this kid. "Petit mufle va!" Little oaf!

Cinder facepalmed. "Take the fucking hint, kid. This isn't a joke."

Buddy pulled the hero to the side. "Can we talk? You always say be true to yourself, but you never say which part of yourself to be true to. Well, I've finally figured out who I am. I am your ward… IncrediBoy!"

Bomb Voyage tried to sneak away but Mr. Incredible grabbed him. "And now, you have officially carried it too far, Buddy."

"This is because I don't have powers, isn't it? Well not every superhero has powers, you know. You can be super without them. I invented these. I can fly. Can you fly?"

Jaune couldn't believe how naive this kid was. "This has nothing to do with having powers! Hero work is extremely dangerous, civilians could end up injured or worse with hot shot fanboys like you running around!"

Weiss nodded. "While not exactly how I would have said it, Jaune has a point. What this child is doing will only end up with collateral damage or worse, civilian casualties."

Mr. Incredible glared at the kid. "Fly home, Buddy. I work alone."

Bomb Voyage looked at the kid. "Oui et ta tenue est complètement ridicule!" And your outfit is totally ridiculous!

Buddy stuttered. "Just give me one chance! I'll show you. I'll go get the police."

Mr. Incredible's eyes widened in fear as Bomb Voyage managed to sneak a bomb onto the kid's cape. "Buddy, don't!"

Buddy was smiling as he thought that he was being helpful. "It'll only take a second, really."

Mr. Incredible ran to the kid and grabbed onto the cape while Buddy took off. "No, STOP! There's a bomb!"

"Let go! You're wrecking my flight pattern! I can do this if you let go!"

"Will you just…? I'm trying to help! Stop!"

"Let go of my cape!"

He does, as the bomb dropped onto a train track below. It soon exploded, destroying a huge chunk of the bridge. Mr. Incredible gasped as he saw a train was approaching, and ran forward to it before bracing himself as the train hit his hands. Unfortunately the passengers were brutally thrown forward, and the train slowly came to a halt, almost falling down the bridge.

Mr. Incredible held Buddy by his arm and gave him to the same cops from earlier. "Take this one home. And make sure his mom knows what he's been doing."

"I can help you. You're making a mista-" Buddy cried as he was shoved into the backseat of a police cruiser.

"The injured jumper. You sent paramedics?"

The cop nodded. "They've already picked him up."

"The blast in that building was caused by Bomb Voyage who I caught in the act robbing the vault. Now, we might be able to nab him if we set up a perimeter."

"You mean he got away?"

"Well, yeah. Skippy here made sure of that."

Buddy pouted. "INCREDIBOY!"

"You're not affiliated with me!" He looked at his watch. "Holy smokes, I'm late. Listen, I've gotta be somewhere."

The cop was surprised. "What about Bomb Voyage?"

Mr. Incredible got into his vehicle. "Any other night, I'd go after him myself, but I really gotta go. But don't worry. We'll get him! Eventually!" The cops were shocked as the hero drove away.


Mr. Incredible soon arrived at a church while he went back into civilian mode along with his car changing back to a normal one. He entered the church and grinned at his friend. "Is the night still young?"

"You're very late."

"How do I look? Good?"

Lucius's eyes widened and he whispered. "Oh, the mask! You still got the mask." He took Bob's mask off.

Bob cracked his neck. "Showtime." He proceeded to enter the church.

He was now standing alongside his fiance in front of a Priest. "Robert Parr, will you have this woman to be your lawful wedded wife?"

Helen was whispering through her teeth at her soon-to-be husband. "You're late. When you asked me if I was doing anything later, I didn't realize you'd actually forgotten. I thought it was playful banter."

Bob smirked. "It was playful banter."

"Cutting it kinda close, don't you think?"

He leaned down to whisper in her ear. "And you need to be more...flexible."

Pyrrha smirked. "Well, I sure hope someone picks up that scroll."

Jaune raised an eyebrow in confusion. "Uhhh, why?"

"Because I fucking called it!" (7)

Winter shook her head. "Late to his own wedding. She must have a lot of patience to wait for so long."

Helen smiled softly at him. "I love you, but if we're gonna make this work, you've gotta be more than Mr. Incredible. You know that. Don't you?"

Bob answered both the priest and Helen. "I do."

"I pronounce this couple husband and wife."

They kissed, as people soon cheered and whistled. Several heroes and colleagues were in attendance.

Helen smiled lovingly at her husband. "As long as we both shall live. No matter what happens."

Bob smirked. "Hey, come on. We're superheroes. What could happen?"


Everyone facepalmed at this. Qrow sighed. "You're really tempting fate, Bob."

Glynda nodded. "He truly is, Qrow."

Sunset looked at everyone. "Comments or continue?"

Ruby cuddled with her mate and looked at Sunset. "Continue, please?" Sunset nodded and continued the film.


(1) - Yes, Brad Bird actually said that.

(2) - I see this everyday where I live and it really pisses me off. The crosswalk is right there! How are you so impatient to not use a damn crosswalk?!

(3) - I don't know why, but as soon as I thought of Glynda as being someone really into comics and D&D when she was a student during the writing of Lessons I can't help but roll with it.

(4) - Seriously, while 'Canon' Nora is a Tsundere with Ren, her 'Chibi' self is borderline Yandere at times. The potion short, anyone?

(5) - Again, might either make this into its own story or have it be part of the snippets. Up to you guys, really.

(6) - Possible future snippet if you guys want.

(7) - I couldn't resist plus I can see Pyrrha as someone who really lets her hair down when she's comfortable and will speak her mind when with her friends and/or family.


Again, I am so sorry I took so long to get this out. Hopefully, I can get the next one out sooner but I make no promises.

Hope you all are staying safe and being smart with the second lockdown hitting everywhere!

And Happy Thanksgiving from Canada to my American readers!

This is church2550 signing off til the next time, I'll see you then!

Stay safe out there, Guardians!
