Six

When Kyler finally arrived home, she rushed from her car to the small hanger behind her house. Waiting for her was her personal jet pilot, Warner. She didn't need to tell him where to go, for she only ever came to him when she was going to one place. They flew to the little island her father had bought for his work long ago when he was working on a project called the "Omnidroid". She was greeted by the many guards who had agreed to stay after her father's death and work under her employment. As she made her way down the long hallways, her shoes clicked against the linoleum flooring.

When she walked into one of the labs, a young man of about twenty-six rose from the chair he was sitting on and walked over to her. "Kyler, your transportation apparatuses arrived several minutes ago."

"Thank you Topher," Kyler said. "Did you follow the instructions I left you?"

"Yes I did," he said with a nod. "Everything is ready."

Kyler began walking again and Topher followed close behind her. "Wonderful. Thank you again."

The two of them walked to the back of the room, where they came across another door. Topher slid his identification card through the scanner and a click sounded, signaling the door unlocking. Kyler yanked the door open and they proceeded into the room. The light was dim inside the room was dim and an eerie green color. Lined up against the back wall were seven large glass chambers. Occasionally, a puff of bright blue smoke would blow into the chambers from the top. Inside six of the seven were the members of Parr/ Rydinger family. Their eyes were closed and their breathing was slow. Kyler walked up to the tank that held Dash and she sadly placed her hand on the cold glass.

She hated herself for feeling sorry for him. She wasn't supposed to become attached. She was just supposed to get comfortable enough with the family that she was able to attack from the inside. She hadn't counted on her actually developing feelings for anyone. But Dash had made her feel so special in the short time that they had known each other. He made her laugh and treated her like the best friend she had always wanted.

"Kyler, when would you like to begin?" Topher asked, breaking her away from her thoughts.

Kyler turned to her assistant and sighed. "The sooner the better," she replied. "Let's get this over with." She walked over to a large desk and sat on top of it, crossing her legs. Her cyan blue eyes followed Topher as he made his way over to the chambers. Beside the first one was a keypad mounted on the wall. The young man typed in a four-digit passcode and then stepped away from the chambers. "Thank you Topher. That will be all," she said. Topher simply nodded and walked out of the room.

A low, hissing noise filled the air as one of the chambers started to open. Kyler watched with interest as the glass door slid open and Helen spilled onto the floor. The woman hit the ground with a loud thud, which made Kyler jump. But the villainous young woman regained her composure quickly, mentally chastising herself for flinching. It took a few minutes for Helen to come through. When she finally redeemed consciousness, she let out a soft groan and pushed herself up off the floor. She looked around and let out a terrified gasp of recognition.

"What do you think?" Kyler asked, her voice startling the older woman. "Isn't this place wonderful?"

Helen spun around and faced Kyler. Her brown eyes were wide with confusion. "Kyler… What's going on?"

"Elastigirl, I have brought you here to make a very important decision," Kyler said, her voice calm and cool. Helen looked puzzled at being called by her Super name, but didn't say anything. "Let me explain… You see, fifteen years ago, my family was torn apart because my father was taken from me. My mother fell into a depression and didn't care for me the way she should have. I had to grow up without knowing my father and that hurt more than you can probably ever imagine. I vowed to make those who took my father from me pay. I was going to make them suffer. I suppose by now you're wondering what this has to do with you, right? Well, you and your family are the reason my father is dead…"

"What?" Helen cried out. "How is that even-" A sudden realization hit Helen. Those piercing blue eyes and that freckled face had always seemed so familiar, but until then, she was never able to understand why. "Syndrome…" she whispered. "Is that… Is that possible?"

Kyler nodded sadly. "Yes, my father was Buddy Pine, otherwise known as Syndrome. And if it wasn't for all of you, he would still be alive!"

"Kyler, I think you are misunderstanding what really happened. You don't realize what your father was going to do to my family… To everyone in the city!"

"No!" Kyler yelled, silencing Helen. "I don't want to hear your reasons and excuses! No matter what justice you see behind it, my father is still dead and it's your fault! I've dedicated my life to getting revenge on you and your family and the time has finally come for me to carry out my plan." She grinned wickedly. "If you'll look over there, you'll see your children, son-in-law, and your husband. See the smoke that is getting pumped into those chambers? That gas is slowly causing their powers to weaken and their energy to be drained. Only I can stop it and only I can open the chambers, so I suggest you listen carefully to what I have to say. And don't try any funny business. You're family's lives are at stake, Elastigirl."

Helen gasped and stared at her family desperately. Then she turned back to Kyler. "Please, I'll do anything for you to let them go. What is it that you want?"

"I want you to make a choice," Kyler replied. "You see, I recognize the fact that it is Mr. Incredible's fault more than anyone else's that my father is dead. For that reason, I want him to be punished more than any other member of your family. However, it is up to you to decide his fate. Are you ready to hear your choices?"

Helen couldn't believe this was happening. She thought that Kyler was such a sweet girl and she was so happy that Dash had found someone as wonderful as her. "Please, Kyler, isn't there anything I can do to make you change your mind?"

"Negotiating with me is only taking up time that you could be using to save your family. Are you ready to hear your choices or not?" Kyler responded coldly.

Helen sighed. "Yes, I'm ready," she said with defeat.

"You are to choose between your children, including your son-in-law, and your husband. You can either save J.J., Dash, Violet, and Tony, therefore, leaving Mr. Incredible here with me or you can save Mr. Incredible and the other will be left for me to choose their fate. Think carefully. Who would you rather perish? Your husband or your children?"

"How is this possibly punishing Bob?" Helen cried out. "Isn't this more punishment for me?"

"Not at all," Kyler said. "If you choose for him to live, he has to live with the fact that his children are no longer with him because of choices he made. He won't know whether they are dead or just living here with me, doing whatever it is I tell them to do. He will have to live the rest of his life knowing that because of what he did to my father, his children had to suffer from it. However, if you choose to save your children, well… Whatever punishment I then select for Mr. Incredible to accept, will be because of what he's done. Sure, you and the rest of your family will be hurt in the long run, but you all played a part in this as well, so it's only fair that you experience a bit of pain yourself. Anyway, you're still wasting quite a bit of time by just standing there, listening to me talk. So, what's it going to be, Elastigirl?" Kyler sneered, her blue eyes glinting coldly. She crossed her arms and stared at Helen, daring her to make her choice.

Helen could feel a nervous sweat beginning to form on her forehead. How could she possibly choose between her husband and her children? She loved her husband, just as much as she loved Violet, Dash, Jack-Jack, and Tony… "Please," Helen pleaded, tears starting to fall down her face. She glanced around the room, searching for someone to help her, but there was no one. She saw Bob, standing in his chamber with his eyes closed and his breathing slowing down. Beside Bob was an empty chamber that Helen had been in. And alongside that one were the chambers that held Violet, Dash, Jack-Jack, and Tony.

"The longer you take to choose, the worse their conditions gets. So, I suggest that you make your choice very soon. Wouldn't we just hate to see something happen to those children of yours?"

"Don't you touch them, you bitch!" Helen screamed, suddenly losing her self-control. "Don't you lay a single finger on any of my children or Tony or Bob! Do you hear me?" She was sobbing hysterically now. If she lost anyone in her family, she wouldn't be able to forgive herself. She thought of Jack-Jack, who was just starting to live out the best years of his life. He was learning to drive, finding love with Lyra, and deciding his career choice. She thought of Violet, who had just confided in her that she was pregnant. Helen was the only one who knew, besides Tony, of course. She thought of Dash, who was still searching for his place in the world and would now be suffering heartbreak because Kyler wasn't who he thought she was. Her children still had so much to live for. Was she willing to take that away from them?

But what about Bob? Her and Bob had been together for so long and they had been through so much. He was the love of her life. How could she possibly leave him? There was no telling what Kyler would do to him if Helen chose her children over him. And, if Kyler allowed him to live, would Bob ever forgive Helen?

Helen's head hurt and she couldn't think clearly any longer. She looked up at Kyler with pleading eyes, but Kyler just glared back in response. She was waiting for Helen's decision. By the look on the younger woman's face, there was no way Helen was going to be able to sway her. Helen sighed and wiped tears from her eyes.

"What will it be Elastigirl?" Kyler asked again. She smirked and Helen could see the uncanny resemblance to Syndrome. Her piercing blue eyes and cocky smile had clearly been inherited from the girl's father.

Helen let out another sorrowful sigh, finally deciding what she was going to do. She looked over at her children and mentally begged them to forgive her. Then she glanced at her husband and did the same thing. She prayed that her family wouldn't judge her for her choice and that they wouldn't hold it against her.

"I… I've chosen," Helen said in a quiet, defeated voice.
