Edna Mode, my Greatest Sis
Chapter 3
FILE-SF03 – New Pet
Never thought Skull would be grateful to be drench in water or else he would've burned the whole bathroom with the surprised he found in the sink. Though that didn't stop him from screaming his head off while exclaiming 'Octi had a child!'
Edna finished another piece of clothing before she folds it on the nightstand before she jumped from her chair and fast-walk to the bathroom. "Really brother dear?" Edna drawled as she rolled her eyes. "I know your imagination is your greatest-ACK!" Jumping backward to be against the door as with wide eye alert expression, Edna holds still as there's a maroon small octopus with big green marble-like eyes playing with the beany-plushy purple octopus. Ironic they are the same size as the plushy and nearly identical if it weren't for the coloring.
"Wha-what?! That maroon octopus better not come from the sewers. That kind of smell is already difficult enough to get rid of hand-wash clothing." Edna couldn't help a slight disgust at that thought as she moved to her brother as she still faced the sea creature.
Skull swam to the edge of the tub and tilted his head to the side. "I'm pretty sure it is color garnet."
A blank look took over Edna's visage while still having the creature within her sight. "Brother dear, I'm guessing the shrinkage of your body affected your eyesight because it's clearly the color 'maroon'," empathizing the word 'maroon'.
"Noooo, I'm clearly, Cleary, sure it is color garnet." A huffed escaped from Skull as the creature started to cradle and play with the beany, taking all of its attention
"Brother dear, you only like to call it garnet because you like crystals, shiny things, and the like." Edna drawled and before both siblings continued their debate between 'maroon' and 'garnet', they both gaped as the sea creature change color with quick precision copied the same color as the beany plushy and eyes shrinking to button size enough to have human-like eyes similar to the plushy. It kept the colors of their eyes, green replacing the whites of the eyes.
Dead silence descended in the bathroom before Skull snorted-cough as he forgot to move his limbs in the water, that's when the octopus stop playing the toy and (with a great surprised) moved quickly from the sink to the edge of the tub while it grew back to its original size (close to a foot) and color to pick up Skull enough to floating well on the water surface.
Again silence descended in the bathroom as Skull coughed and blinked up at the creature as the creature hold him above water level. Edna moved to a half circle to observe the sea creature. She's in no worry for her brother because she knows that her brother can easily roast the creature to crisps. As she circled around she stopped as she hears a crunch under her foot. Looking down, there's an ivory envelope with a wax seal with the kanjis of 'Rainbow' inside what appears like a round pacifier. Bending down to pick it up to the opening it to read.
Eyes narrowed as it is addressed to her brother's hero name, no doubt that's the blackmail that landed her brother in this situation. Continuing to read, she couldn't help her eyebrow twitch since this 'Checkerface' sent this octopus as an animal companion and how it will respond to the 'Dying Will Flames'. The rest of the letter 'suggests' to keep contact with the others or how one knows the others are close by with the glow of their pacifier.
At the word 'pacifier', Edna quickly glance at the round object connect to her brother's neck, the octopus now sitting on the edge barely moving, before continuing to read the letter. The letter continues to go on saying that behind the letter continues with basic info regarding being an Arcobaleno. With a quick skim in the back of the letter, it mentions about a spring in France. Continuing reading the letter it ends with;
Congratulations on being the
Cloud Arcobaleno
In the right end corner has a mask with checker patter and what appears a hat made of iron in the corner.
Years of experience of dealing with the government, heroes, villains, and ignorant proud people, Edna knew right away that her brother landed himself in deep water and no doubt dragged by other people in the same boat, by what the letter implies to 'keep contact'. Worse aspect about this situation is that they are using the 'forbidden flames' their mother warned them to never use out in public, no doubt another blackmail tactic to use against her brother.
Folding the letter, Edna straightened her posture and for a moment her eyes glow dark indigo glow as they locked eyes with her brother's own glowing purple eyes. It was that moment they knew they need to take quick action to secure actual privacy.
"Finish up cleaning brother dear while I make adjustments to bring your new pet home." Skull gave a small 'Hai' as swims in the bathtub to get the other side and finishing his bath. "Oh and brother," Skull turned to his elder sister standing by the doorway while the octopus tilted it's head in curiosity.
"It is maroon. Not garnet."
And with that Edna disappeared to make a few phone calls as her brother yells 'IT'S GARNET!' in the background.
Sooo sorry, I forgot I delayed on putting this up since I'm still deciding on how Skull in integrated to the timeline of the Incredible verse, or at least on how he became a hero and later on as a stuntman. (As well how does the Relocation Heroes Act works since it should be more complicated than just shove heroes underground. (Or that's me making things complicated because I want to make myself suffer going over history and timelines.)

(Just remove the spaces)
One question, should Skull be added into the movies (1&2) to fit in Skull or having him pop up after the events of the movies?
