Not so certain anymore

She attracted stares, people thought she was looking for attention.

Helen stood in the rain, her eyes closed and her mind taking everything in...peacefully. While beams from the heavy rain fell and caressed her skin she felt perfectly relaxed. Nothing made her think about Bob, or the party, or being abnormal. Thought about her relationship with others period was no longer haunting her, she felt naked from all the chaos around her as the glitter began to run off of her face. Helen didn't care if she got wet, her clothes were dark, black short with a loud violet top. She was just relieved to be outside away from everybody, but then he ruined it. The now 'stalker' Rodger interrupted her blissful moment. The stubby man quickly grabbed her shoulder and shook it a bit.

"Are you okay?" he asked. Helen sent him a look.

"I'm fine."

"Your makeup's running."

"I don't care."

She really wished he would just leave. Wasn't it obvious she wasn't interested in him. She didn't feel like talking to this guy while being soaked in the rain. Before the was enjoying the rain soaking her clothes, but now she felt uncomfortable next to this guy. 'Maybe I should approach Bob...' She wasn't looking for protection or anything, she just thought that being with Robert would make this guy just go away. The spot on her shoulder felt warm, but it wasn't a good warm, it was an awkward warm. She quickly wiggled her shoulder to make him drop it.

"Listen Rodger...I had a great time with you and all, but really, I'd like to be alone right about now."

"Huh?"

"Well...you're nice and all but I'm already with someone. I was never looking for a relationship from you Rodger."

The man automatically slapped himself across the cheek. He did it rather hard, causing Helen to flinch some. She wasn't used to seeing people hit themselves that hard.

"I'm such an idiot. Of course someone as beautiful as you has somebody already!" Helen was speechless, this guy still didn't get it.

"Um...thanks. So...bye?" She tried walking away but heard footsteps behind her.

"I don't have to be your boyfriend, we could just hang out you know."

She wasn't liking where this was going. With the occasional drunks lounging around she couldn't really hit this guy to make him back off. The man grabbed her forearm quickly while she attempted to walk away once again, and to avoid accidentally allowing her arm to stretch out, she did exactly what any woman would do, she kicked the man in the groins. Then screaming at the top of her lungs in frustration she forced the man's fingers from around her arm and rushed back into the building. The doe eyes fell on her friends and she was obviously pissed.

Helen had officially hated this place.

"Uh oh," Rebecca said seeing Helen reenter the club soaked with a scowl on her face. She immediately kicked Robert in the shin to make him turn around. And though the kick had hurt due to her super strength, seeing Helen's appearance made him ignore it.

"Uh oh is right," Robert, Lucius, and Honey agreed in union.

"Maybe you should go talk to her Bob..." Lucius suggested.

Honestly Robert wasn't sure if Lucius really wanted Bob to help Helen out, or if he just wanted to be left alone with Honey. But being the good...boyfriend? He was, he quickly walked over to Helen and dragged her outside once more.

In truth Helen probably wouldn't be this annoyed and frustrated if it wasn't for that one night. She thought she had released all of her thoughts to Bob but she really didn't. It was eating at her inside. Constantly saying that men had too much pride to speak their minds, yet was she any better? It wasn't helping that even though she was in the rain, being with him made her feel warm. It was a comfortable, relaxing feeling, yet they still had tension between themselves. Before Helen could even deal with the situation Robert looked completely zoned out. She knew he could sense danger, and he often tended to mind his own business while being Robert. But right when she managed to grab his attention again the police sirens went off.

"Helen I have to..."

"Leave," Helen finished. She walked away, about to change into Elastigirl. While Robert quickly departed to his Incredi-car to join the pursuit and change his outfit.
