Bob lies alone in a bed that night. He can't get much sleep as he ponders about everything that has happened. He wonders what will happen, and what his options are. He knows the complications there are in his marriage, but he desires to stay together with Helen no matter what. His pride forces him to remain in this room.
The next morning Kevin is alone in the apartment at the computer. There's a bunch of machinery scattered about the apartment. It appears that he has been assembling them into something massive. Right now there seems to be something else drawing his attention though.
Rachael sneaks into the apartment through the window wearing her stealth suit and carrying a large glowing sphere. Rachael notices the machinery is already assembled. She walks up to Kevin with a stern face.
"I told you to get some rest," Rachael worries. "You didn't have to rush this-"
"I just got a little anxious, but if this works, it won't matter," Kevin admitted as he turns to face her. He notices the orb. "Is that the power supply?"
"Yup. This is the new element they're been developing on Area 51."
"Perfect. Set it up over there in the reactor core."
Rachael walks over and places the sphere into the machinery. The machinery starts to power up with a loud hum and glowing parts.
"You know," Rachael added. "We're not able to successfully use this machine the way we want to. It's going to require a pure super from birth. Not to mention, they'd have to be mature enough to focus their mind. I don't think there's any super left who'd want to help us."
"Perhaps," Kevin agreed. "But then again, we might have a willing volunteer…"
Rachael looks at him with a confused expression.
"What do you mean?"
"I've been keeping a close eye on our superhero associates. It seems that one of them has left his family behind."
Rachael looks at the computer screen at a recent recording he took and she smiles.
Jack-Jack hears his mother's cell phone beeping as she pours him cereal. He picks it up and hands it to her, but Helen appears too distraught to answer it. Violet holds her hand out to Jack-Jack and he hands it to her. Violet answers it.
"Hello?"
"Violet!" Agent Dipper is surprised she answered the phone. "Is your mother available? This is an emergency!"
"Mom! It's the agency! You need to take this!"
Helen just looks down at her coffee and wanders out of the kitchen.
"Ugh… Sorry, but my mom is going through some rough issues right now."
"This isn't the time! Could you get her out of it or get your father? We've tried calling him, but he's not answering. Even Luscious hasn't answered his phone! Are all the Supers having a breakdown while Zero goes on a stealing spree?"
"Wait… Agent Zero?" Violet spoke with concern. Jack-Jack and Dash are startled when they hear that name. "Could you settle for my brothers and me?"
Agent Dipper sighs into the receiver. "Alright, I'll have you picked up and brought to base… You're not missing school for this are you?"
"It's a Saturday."
"Oh right… We'll pick you up in 15 minutes."
Bob is standing in front of the mirror after taking a long cold shower. He's still contemplating about everything that has happened and he's wondering what he should do. He sighs and goes back to lay in bed. He looks at the clock. It says 8:45 AM. He looks up at the ceiling.
"What should I do…?"
"Would you like me to give you an option?" an echoing voice tells him.
Bob is startled and looks around. No one is there.
"Who's there?"
"Just a friend," the voice answers. "I'm here to show you an alternative."
"An alternative? …An alternative what?"
"An alternative life!"
Just then a blinding light appears out of nowhere. Bob shields his eyes, and takes a look after the light dims down. There's a floating being with no nose, mouth, ears, or hair and glowing white.
"Who are you?" Bob demanded.
"I am a being who exists outside of time and space!" he answered. "I'm here to save you!"
Helen sits in her room tending to Alice. She is deeply depressed and can't stop thinking about Bob. Luscious and Mirage come in to check up on her.
"Hi Helen," Luscious greets her. "May we come in?"
Helen doesn't even make the slightest move. Luscious rushes over to her with determination.
"This isn't good for you!" Luscious told her with great concern. "You have too many responsibilities as a mother and a super to let your emotions rule you…"
"What am I supposed to do?" Helen asked as tears streamed down her face again. "My marriage is on the rocks."
"Get out of the house," Mirage suggested. "We're going to a club tonight. We could help get you a babysitter to take care of Alice while we're gone."
"No, I can't. It's too early for me to even consider-"
"Your depression won't solve anything," Luscious assured her. "Just give it a try, and if you want to come home, we'll come home."
"I think we're too old for clubbing though."
"Aw, don't be ridiculous!" Luscious smiled. "You're never too old to shake your elastic-butt!"
Helen chuckled. Luscious and Mirage waited eagerly for her answer.
"Well… Alright," Helen gave in. She set April down in the crib and searched for something to sexy to wear.
"Why? Save me from what?" Bob asked.
"I have seen the future of this world," the glowing being told him. "And it is grim. I am here to offer you a choice that could save this world."
"Wait, what exactly happens?"
The being sighs. "I didn't want to have to show you this, but-"
Suddenly they're transported to outer space. Bob is worried about breathing at first, but then he realizes he's quite fine. To his left he sees the planet far below. To his right, he sees a cloud of countless alien warships approaching earth. He has no choice but to watch as the cloud swarms down and ignites the world in a blaze. Bob screams from the sheer terror of it all.
They're suddenly teleported to a white space. There is no ceiling or walls, just an endless floor that continues forever. Bob looks around in confusion.
"That attack occurs within the next few months," the being tells him. "Even with the power of you world governments and the power of the few supers that are left, it's not nearly enough."
"Than why can't you stop it!" Bob demanded as he threw his fists at the being's chest. To his surprise, his hands only passed through.
"I am not permitted to get involved… Only guide those who can change certain events."
"What specific events are we talking about?"
"Bob, do you remember the day of your wedding?"
Suddenly they're teleported to the night Bob was about to marry Helen. A younger version of Bob was out in the streets explaining to the police what had happened when he tried to apprehend Bomb Voyage. Bob noticed Buddy sitting angrily in the backseat of a cruiser.
"Yeah, I kept getting distracted on my way to the wedding," Bob answered the easy question. "What about it?"
"I can make it so that you never looked down at your watch and pursued the villain."
Bob watches as his younger self continues to talk to the police as he looks at the radar in his car. Bob is confused at this.
"Okay, so I don't glance at my-" Bob begins to sarcastically say, but then he realizes something. "Wait! What happened to my marriage to Helen?"
The being turns his head away from him as they teleport to the outside of a church later that night.
"Hey, this is where-"
Bob is shocked at what he sees next. Luscious comes out of the church carrying Helen in his arms. They're smiling and kissing tenderly as they make their way to the limousine. Bob notices that Helen is wearing a different ring as they enter the vehicle. Bob's breath is taken away.
"Luscious had the ring ready on your wedding just in case you didn't show up. The two of them had desires of being together before your wedding, and you originally were only a few seconds in time before Luscious would have taken your Helen for himself…"
"What is the meaning of this?" Bob barked at him. "There's no way Helen would do such a thing!"
"No?" the being asked as they teleported to the hotel room in Grease where Bob and Helen originally had their honeymoon. Bob watched as the younger version of Helen and Luscious burst through the door kissing passionately as they made their way to the bed. "It seems she's more than eager to start a new life with your best friend."
"I can't believe this is happening…" Helen whispered as she plunged her tongue into his mouth. "I know I had just left Bob, but all I can think of right now is making love with you…"
"I feel exactly the same way," Luscious whispered back to her.
They began to tear each other's cloths off. Bob turned away sickened by this scenario.
"Please!" he begged the glowing being. "I've had enough of this!"
"I don't think you have…" the being replied.
Bob felt his head being forced back to watch the two newlyweds having sex. He could no longer turn away nor close his eyes. He watched as they sat on the bed together gazing at each other in just underwear.
Helen was beautiful in her white lingerer. She had the long, red, shiny hair of her glory days, the sweet complexion of youth, her hips were not nearly as wide from childbirth, and her smile was bright and full of spark. Bob remembered their wedding night being a bit awkward with the sex, but being with Luscious it seemed more natural and smooth. He had to admit that Luscious was handsome as well. He still had his stylish haircut from back in the day, and his muscular figure was at it's best, even though Bob's was always bigger.
Luscious laid Helen down, peeled off her undergarments, and began to touch and kiss her body all over. Bob watched as Helen gasped in sheer pleasure as Luscious sucked her nipples, kissed her butt cheeks, and ate out of her pussy. Helen's face was bright red as she held Luscious's head firmly between her legs. She came in his mouth, and he looked at her with a smile. Bob never saw Helen give such a reaction when he tried to give her oral pleasure.
Helen then pushed Luscious onto the bed and removed his boxers. Bob couldn't believe how large Luscious's erect, black penis was, and suddenly he felt ashamed. Helen eagerly kissed down his neck, along his chest, and began to rub his dick with her hands and sucked it. Bob remembered that he had to convince Helen to suck his dick after a few times of sex, and here she's eagerly shoving Luscious's cock down her elastic throat that easily made room. Helen seemed so fixated on giving Luscious a blowjob that she didn't stop Luscious from holding the back of her head firmly as he climaxed down her throat. He moaned wildly, and he let go of Helen's head after what seemed like forever. Helen stuck out her tongue to show him that it went straight down. They both laughed. Bob was surprised at how well these two appeared together.
Then they began to hump each other all around the room in several positions. Bob was startled at how intense this was, especially for their first time! Luscious seemed to hold himself from cumming for quite a while, and when he did, Helen grinned.
"That was amazing Luscious!" Helen proclaimed. "And to think I was about to marry Bob!"
"I'm so glad I won you over," Luscious admitted. "This is the best moment of my life…"
"Mine too…" Helen admitted as they kissed again.
Bob thought it would have been impossible for these two to continue at this pace, but they did.
Slowly, Bob began to notice how truly happy Helen appeared. She seemed to have found her soul mate in this alternate reality. He now understood why his Helen had his affair with Luscious.
Violet, Dash, and Jack-Jack are brought to the secret base by helicopter. Mr. Dipper waits for them on the other side of mechanical sliding doors.
"Greetings children," Mr. Dipper acknowledged them. "I'm glad we were at least able to get a few of you…"
"Yeah, well it's time for the adults to move aside," Dash proclaimed proudly. "This time the kids will save the day."
"Dash, knock it off," Violet told him. "Sorry about the inconvenience Mr. Dipper. We will try to reach our parents before this is over."
"It's alright," Mr. Dipper assured her as he led them down the hallway. "Besides, it might be time for you kids to handle a mission of your own, considering you won't be a family forever."
The kids all look at each other uncomfortably. Mr. Dipper barely notices as they walk through another door. They enter a security room with the safe busted up.
"What happened here?" Violet asks.
"Agent Zero is what happened," Mr. Dipper replied. "She stole the components to one device, and we heard she has stolen other necessary components elsewhere."
"What's the device?" Dash asked.
"It was a dimensional portal, a gateway to an alternate reality."
"What's an alt… alt… alternate reality?" Jack-Jack asked.
"We were able to use this machine to look into alternate worlds much like our own," he explained. "Most of them had just one moment in time altered, and different events occur creating a different timeline in space."
Jack-Jack appeared confused, and nearly fell asleep.
"Don't worry," Violet told him. "I'll explain it to him later… So this device actually works?"
"Not entirely," Mr. Dipper explained. "We were mostly only able to look into these alternate dimensions, but we weren't able to enter them. Even the images we uncovered from these dimensions weren't very clear. We do know that most of these altered dimensions proved to be disastrous."
"So why couldn't you enter these alternate universes?"
"Our computers determined that the only way we'd be able to enter these alternate universes is if we left our bodies in a pocket dimension and assimilate our alternate version of ourselves in that universe. The computer also determined that one of the users would have to be a natural born super. Due to their advanced genetics, supers would be the only ones capable of guiding anyone who was using this device to their bodies."
"So Kevin and Rachael are trying to find an escape from this world," Dash implies. "Why should we stop them? They'd no longer be a problem for us if they were gone."
"But they're not naturally born supers," Violet implied. "They gained their powers by experimentations. If they want the device to work…" Violet realizes something. "They'll need one of us! We have to warn our parents!"
"Kevin and Rachael won't be able to use the machine properly if the super doesn't want to help," Mr. Dipper assured her. "You'd have to be willing in order for it to work, and I doubt any one of you would."
Violet begins to ponder to herself.
Bob watches as the younger versions of Luscious and Helen fall asleep after about an hour of intense sex. The two of them cuddle with smiles. He feels sad that Helen would prefer Luscious, but he shakes that feeling off and turns back to the glowing being.
"What's the point of all this?" Bob demanded. "Are you asking me to give up Helen so that she can be happy? Granted, I do want that, but how do I know this will truly last?"
"There's more than just her happiness on the line," the being informs him. "Observe."
They're teleported to Buddy's room the previous night. Bob watches as the young boy angrily curses Mr. Incredible and throwing his poster to the floor. Bob groans at the sight of this, but then he notices a tap at the window.
Buddy also notices the tapping and is surprised to find the younger version of Bob at the window. Buddy groans angrily and opens the window.
"What do you want?" Buddy asks with a stern expression. "You blamed me for everything!"
"Now liston here-" Bob stammered as he fell to the floor intoxicated. It seemed as if he drowned himself in sorrow. Normally Buddy would have felt bad for Mr. Incredible and would feel sad, but he's too angry now and this seemed pleasantly ironic. "I jus wanna talk is all…"
"What about?"
Mr. Incredible sits on the bed. "Kid, do you know what it takes to be a superhero?"
"Yeah, it takes amazing abilities, winning people over, good looks-"
"That's Bullshit!" Mr. Incredible screamed. Buddy falls over backwards in fear of this powerful man. "We don't need any of that! All we need is sacrifice…"
"What are you talking about?"
"Kid," Mr. Incredible explained as he slowly began to sober up. "Us Supers don't have it easy at all… We're always needed, we risk our lives, and most of the time we're not that appreciated for our work. Sure it looks great from the boob tube, but that's just the cover to the entire story! …We don't have time for personal goals or feelings. We just continue to do our jobs because we care about people!…We all have to sacrifice one thing or another…"
"What sacrifice have you had to make?" Buddy got up and demanded. "You seem to be explaining quite a lot of bad things you've gone through, but I've gone through a lot too! Tell me, why are you even here?"
Buddy finally feels sorrow when he notices Mr. Incredible crying. He still felt some admiration for this hero, and this nearly tore him apart.
"I lost the woman I love because of you!" Mr. Incredible explained. "I was supposed to marry Elastigirl tonight, but thanks to your involvement with Bomb Voyage, I spent the night chasing after him!"
"I'm… I'm sure Elastigirl will forgive you," Buddy assured him as he tried to approach him.
"No she didn't!" Bob cried as he walked towards the window. "She ran off with my best friend! Or former best friend! I hope you're happy!"
With that, Mr. Incredible allowed himself to fall out the second story window. He landed with a loud thud, but it wouldn't even hurt if he was sober. Buddy looked down at the poster he tore down, and went over to hang it back up.
Bob watched as this strange scene played out, and was still confused.
"I actually would have done this?" Bob asked. "Even if I did talk to Buddy that night, what difference would it make? He's going to grow up to become-"
"He won't become Syndrome this time," the being replied. "Because of this talk, you have guided this young man away from his evil destiny. And your superhero friends would not have been se up to die at the mechanical claws of his Omnibots."
Bob is surprised and realizes how different things would have been, but then Bob shakes his head.
"What difference does it make?" Bob asked. "It's no use, the Supers will be outlawed in a matter of months-"
"Actually," the being interrupted, "things are going to be quite different…"
The children were trying to help Mr. Dipper with finding Kevin and Rachael, but whatever leads they found on the computer ere just dead ends.
Violet constantly looked at the tracing remote that told her where her father was. By the coordinates it stated, Bob was still at the motel he checked into. Violet still had her worries though, and Agent Dipper noticed this.
"Is something wrong Violet?" he asked.
"It's our dad," she confessed. "He got into a fight with mom, and he stormed out of the house. I'm afraid he might be Kevin's target."
Mr. Dipper ponders about that for a moment.
"I'll have my men keep an eye on him," he assured her as he took a look at the tracing remote. "If anything happens to him, we'll know about it."
Violet gives a reassured smile.
