Buddy stormed into his room to retrieve his mask then fled back into the brightly lit halls once more.
"Why did I kiss her?"
He asked in a grumble as he walked the halls of his lair in rage. At this point he couldn't tell what upset him more; that he had graced the damn super with his lips or that of all the people in the world to want to talk to him now, why did it have to be Veto? He figured if anyone would be a moment killer it would be him. Finally making it to his destination, Syndrome stopped in front of a all black door. On the side there was a pad. Punching in a few numbers the door then automatically opened for him.
The room he entered now was filled with all sorts of technology. Computers were practically littered all around the room along with some gadgets of his that were in the final touches stage. On the back wall a large computer screen made up nearly the entire wall. Placing his mask on Syndrome now cleared his throat and stared at the blank screen.
"..Computer, begin transmission with Mr. Veto.."
He muttered as he cracked his neck. Suddenly the screen lit up and a man appeared in the image. The man was almost the complete opposite of Syndrome in looks. He had dark tan skin, which was flawless, not so much as a scratch on him, dark almond shaped eyes, long sleek dark brown hair that was pulled into a pony tail and upon the man's chin was a neatly trimmed Goatee. The man smiled at Syndrome.
"Ahh Buddy! So good to see you alive and.. well, alright I suppose. What's it been? Eight years? And I see you've lost an eye, terrible shame but at least you have a bit more of a manly look now.. Rumor has it that you've given up being a hero and decided to smarten up and be villain like yours truly.. is this correct?"
He asked. Buddy clenched his fists and growled.
"My name isn't BUDDY" He snapped.
This caused the man to laugh.
"Oh come now Buddy, you still insist on having a silly Secret Identity?" He rolled his eyes and chuckled.
"Anyway, I also hear you caught yourself a Super!" Syndrome sighed.
"Yes Veto I did but-"
"Ah! It's Dr. Veto if you please..." Veto said smirking. Syndrome felt a muscle twitch in his face.
"Well VETO, I did have a Super, but I disposed of said Super.. last thing I need is the NSA snooping around.. You know with me being DEAD and all.." But this answer only made Dr. Veto shake his head.
" Buddy.. you really need to learn how to lie better.." Dr. Veto said grinning. Syndrome growled slamming his fists onto the desk in front of him.
"Damn it Veto! My name isn't Buddy!" He snapped, fuming with anger. Dr. Veto smiled.
"Now now Buddy, no need to get upset.." He said talking down to Syndrome as if he were just a child.
"Now I know you have Invisi-Girl still.. But look I want to negotiate! Come join me Bud- I mean 'Syndrome'.. Just think about it! With my influence and power, your brains and her powers, who knows what we could accomplish!" He said throwing his hands ups.
"Or I could always just buy her off your hands..."
Now it was Syndrome's turn to laugh.
"Oh, so this wasn't about me, but what I have!" He said smiling but it soon faded and he cursed softly. He fell for the same Goddamn trick he pulled on Violet earlier. Dr. Veto began to laugh at Syndrome's slip up.
"So she IS still there! Good, no Great! Now how much do you want for her?" Dr. Veto asked pulling out a check book.
"I've got plans, BIG PLANS for her.." He said smiling but he was only met with Syndrome's ice cold glare.
"She's NOT for Sale.." He growled though clenched teeth. Dr. Veto frowned.
"..What do you mean? Come on Buddy.. I can write all sorts of numbers on this paper... you can get a new name.. maybe another island?" He suggested and chuckled. "..Or I could always just call up the NSA.. You go to prison for who knows how long, I keep my money and-"
"Do it." Syndrome threatened. Dr. Veto blinked.
"Are you serious?" Dr. Veto asked nearly dropping his jaw. "I mean I will and-"
"And if you do Invisi-Girl goes free...Not to mention, looking at your records we would end up sharing a cell.." Syndrome said smirking folding his arms. "..Veto.. you really do need to learn how to lie better.."Syndrome mocked. Syndrome could always call out a bluff. Veto glared at Syndrome.
"Last chance Buddy. You can join me, hand her over and get paid.. or I WILL take her myself." Dr. Veto warned. "And if I have to get her myself.. well.. I'll be sure to give you a parting gift you will never forget.." Dr. Veto said glaring. Syndrome simply laughed.
"Right well I look forward to that, believe me, now if you'll excuse me I have work to do.. Evil plans don't just make themselves you know.." He said before pressing a green button in front of him which cut the connection with Dr. Veto. Syndrome sighed pulling the chair next to him out and sat down. His hands went to his temples.
"Computer, pull up the camera to Miss. Parr's room.." He ordered, and the only reply he got now was the command being fulfilled.
His gaze rose to the screen once more. Violet was simply watching TV now. Syndrome was almost curious what Veto had planned for Violet. He sighed pulling off his mask and he leaned back in his chair.
"Computer.. did the Parr family schedule a date for Violet's funeral?" Buddy asked and waiting for the computer to search for the information.
"Two weeks from now. That will be two Thursdays from now, at twelve O'clock at St. Peters church." rang the computer animated voice. Buddy groaned.
"Why is it so far away!?" He groaned.
"Because it takes time and preparation to run a good funeral Syndrome." Rang the voice, but Buddy didn't need it explained. Buddy sighed. Well it gave him more time to get together a disguise so he could attend said funeral. He grinned. He could already hear the morose requiem in the back round, the devastated look on Mr. Incredible's face. Buddy began to think maybe he should just kill off all of Mr. Incredible's loved ones.. then have him begging for death.. But now a new thought came into Buddy's mind. 'Would Robert be more upset if he killed his little girl.. or the fact that he touched her, kissed her, however you wanted to put it...' And this brought Buddy back to that damn kiss.
Buddy had to admit, she was rather attractive.. But she wasn't just 'some girl'. She was Mr. Incredible's little girl. His precious little flower.. Buddy sighed. What did it matter? Chances were he'd end up killing her anyway. If not that then maybe just test out inventions on her till she eventually died. He moved to stand up when he noticed his shirt. It was wrinkled slightly, and only in two places. Where she had grabbed him. No not grabbed, clung. She had clung to him.. Why? Even when Mirage...
Buddy shook his head. No, no more thinking about... that woman. But still. If a woman didn't want to be kissed or touched it was instinct for them to push them away, right? Hell, Violet had kicked him earlier.. Why didn't she try to run away again? His eyes moved to the screen again. Violet had now moved to the other side of the room, simply running her fingers over the white walls.
"..Damn" Buddy groaned. The more he thought about her the more it pissed him off because he was beginning to realize he was attracted to her.
"Old habits die hard.." He mused to himself.
He worshiped Mr. Incredible as a kid, dreaming of being his side kick, and hear he was, day dreaming about having her on his bed side. He needed to get away.
"Computer.. Alert the workers that I'll be gone for a few days.. if anyone needs to reach me they know how.. Everything is to remain in order." He said heading for the exit.
"Yes Syndrome. Pack for cold weather, a blizzard is heading to the area and should hit in four days." Warned the computer showing a weather report on the main screen. Buddy nodded.
"Great.." He muttered. Well at least he wouldn't have as many interruptions. People hardly ever traveled in blizzards. "Now to just pack up and get the hell out of here..." He muttered before he left the room and went off to his chamber to pack for his 'escape'.
