Helen glanced back to her two sleeping boys before her eyes returned to the sky laid out before her. Searching for the island that had been the start of everything. Bob shifted in his co pilot seat. He was anxious. Could she blame him? They all were. She was really shocked at the fact that Jack Jack and Dash could actually sleep.
"This could be a trap. " Bob finally said at long last. Helen knew it was in his mind, but she declined the thought.
"...Robert. Even if Buddy was going to set us up.. I think that this would really going above and beyond a reasonable plan. How on earth would he pull off getting away with it?"
"How on earth did he live that explosion?" Robert retaliated in a whisper so he didn't wake the boys. "Helen, there is no way he can be serious! He's arrogant, It's always about what he wanted. He wanted, I don't think he ever once thought of what others needed." Helen scoffed at the gesture.
"Okay Bob, the kid didn't want to help you out in being YOUR side kick..." She said with a shake of her head.
"He didn't!" Bob said raising his voice to a above in door voices level, but immediately pulled back. "If it was then he would of realized after the five thousandth time I told him to stop."
"But did you tell him why?" Helen asked narrowing her eyes which made Robert roll his own.
"No but-"
"See! There you go Robert! If you had given him a reason, then he would of stopped." Helen said as she spun his seat towards him. "You remember the first time you asked me out?" Robert immediately nodded.
"Of course! It was right after you caught The Cat Burglar." Robert said with a smirk followed by a frown. "But you turned me down.
"I did. And do you know WHY I turned you down?" Robert could only shake his head. "Because I presented a challenge to you.. not a reason. And that wasn't the first time I challenged you. Was it?"
Bob was in sudden shock. She had turned him down, several times. At least a dozen. And not once did she give a excuse. Suddenly he felt Helen's hands upon his cheeks, her eyes starring into his.
"Robert. If Buddy were trying to get us again.. I don't think he would of turned himself in. A simple letter saying I have your daughter would of made us come all on our own. He could of lived the rest of his life without anyone thinking he was out in the world somewhere." He whispered kissing him.
Robert Parr gave a curt nod at the statement and sighed. "..I don't know Helen. I just don't get it.. I mean.. maybe he brain washed Violet? I don't see how he could of attracted her-" But he was cut off by Helen's lips again.
"You know.. Buddy does remind me a bit of you.." She whispered. "...Strong, powerful.. Yet he must have a soft side." She whispered looking away. "..I think he still modeled himself after you. Even if he does hate you." Bob nodded looking to his feet.
"He would of made a great hero then, huh?" He asked looking to his wife once again who nodded in agreement.
"..Maybe not the best side kick.. but his intentions were good. And that's the first step of being a hero. Right?" He asked before a island came into view. But not just any island. The Island. "..I'll wake the boys. Find a place to land." He whispered before he kissed his wife again and left the cockpit.
Alrighty, so this was some what of a intermission chapter. The next one will begin the end of our story.
