He meets her in the park one Friday evening.
Elastigirl is lounging on a bench, her auburn hair glinting like a copper penny in the fading light. She's wearing the ever-present red mask, but is dressed in civvies; a short sundress that shows off her toned arms.
Mr. Incredible drinks in the sight as he approaches, marveling at the fact that no matter how much good he has done in this life, he must have done even more in the past one to deserve such a woman.
Elastigirl smiles up at him, and he lets out the breath that he didn't realize he'd been holding in.
"On three?" she asks. "Alright," is his slightly nervous reply.
1, 2, 3, and the masks come off.
"Nice to meet you," he quips, reaching out a palm. "I'm Bob Parr."
She grins and shakes his hand, her brown eyes somehow even wider and more beautiful without the disguise. "Helen Truax."
It's the sweetest combination of letters that Bob has ever heard. He rolls the name around in his head, savoring the importance of the moment. He knows that it is dangerous for Supers to take a relationship this far, especially with recent events, but he trusts her.
Hell, he'd do anything for her.
"I...I love you, Helen," he blurts.
Her face shifts into a look of surprise. Then it softens, her expression reflecting his own.
"Would you believe that I love you too, Bob?"
