A/N: Have no fear, a new chapter is here! -is brick'd-

This fan fiction should be ending soon, I've already gotten ideas for the conclusion...but I don't know exactly how many chapters there will be, but the angst is almost over.

Not so sprung anymore

Man against man, or could they truly be called men? Could either of them actually be considered human? Although the two of them were different in many ways, a few things were similar between them. Villains hide their pain and suffering by making others suffer. Heroes hide from all of their troubles by engaging in physical combat behind a mask. Neither could actually bash each other when it came to an identity. But heroes were always accepted, winning awards for heroic battles globally. Whether on land, sea, or in the air they risk their lives to save others. Villains risked their lives to accomplish something too. They wanted to be remembered, not for incredible abilities, but as a threat, as a media symbol. But the true question is...is it truly worth it?

A blue fist quickly met with the blind folded man's jaw. Another trap. Mr. Incredible fell for it? Bob didn't really understand what had happened but his body felt stiff, and he forgot where he was for a minute. The Cupid look-alike android chucked some, Bob smashed it out of annoyance and frustration. Cupid had never thought of a scheme this big, perhaps he was trying to out stage villains like Bomb Voyage.

So as the nearly invincible super found himself bound by his wrist and ankles, he noticed the real Cupid appear with a smirk on his face. "Ah, hello Mr. Incredible. Experiencing a bit of deja vu?" The hero sent the villain a look, he didn't like where there was going. Sure Mr. Incredible could break free if he hit the chains hard enough at a faster pace, but he decided to listen to Cupid's monologue...even if he wasn't even Cupid's main hero, he did often butt heads with the man due to his relationship.

"I honestly didn't think you'd be here right now, seeing that Elastigirl is up there. I know about your...partnership...then again who doesn't? It's quite obvious." Cupid noted Mr. Incredible's clinched jaw. "I mean, meeting on rooftops at midnight, fighting criminals together...what are you guys? The beta force?" He chuckled some. "Superheroes are weak and foolish. Don't you know that working with your lover is well...idiotic. You're always trying to protect them, always trying to shield them from harm. Super heroes will get beat up! They will be inflicted with pain or suffer some if the villain is strong enough! No, no, no, I don't mean physically. I mean...it's quite obvious that you dominate over me in that field. But your large muscles don't mean anything for me, which is also obvious. Why would I be doing this if it did?" Cupid pulled out some kind of remote with multiple buttons. And as he pressed one a screen came out from above them.

"Elastigirl," Bob stated as her figure appeared on the screen. "What are you doing to her!?"

"Temper, temper!" Cupid shouted. "Relax, she's a big girl Incredible, she'll be fine...or are you going to save her again?" A smirk. Villains always had a devilish smirk, he honestly didn't understand how their minds worked.

"What are you going to get out of this Cupid?" Robert asked, slowly messing with the chains to break free of the hold. Damn android.

"Fame, fortune, and power of course!" Cupid shouted with a greedy grin. "When people find out I've killed not only Elastigirl but Mr. Incredible they'll fear me all right. They'll know Cupid is not just a blindfolded villain with top notch senses...you just wait and see. The news is loving this, the longer you're in here the better I feel."

"Who ever said you were going to kill me?" Mr. Incredible questioned.

Cupid laughed hoarsely. "Oh, questioning my power Super?"

Mr. Incredible wasn't the only one annoyed with cupid. The heroine sent the space before her a glare, as if someone stood there. As she quickly realized that she should be using the henchman to get some information they had already lost her site, but the knocked out man's body was still there. She looked at him closely and eyed a piece of metal on his forehead. She bent down and let her brown eyes focus on it more. "Some type of...mind control device?" she guessed. "Where the hell do villains get this kind of technology?" she then asked herself in a whisper. She pulled the chip off of the man, causing a bit of blood to come, but it wasn't going to kill the man. At least he was free from Cupid's control.

"If this is a brain control device...three people attacked me who might have actually been captives. One is here, two got away...so where are the other two?" The second she said this she heard voices...she recognized one. She quickly grabbed the knocked out man. She didn't have super strength, but she could pick him up and hang him from her back. "Maybe I should try to get this guy out first...but I can also take two more easily thanks to my flexibility." Her words aloud were more like thoughts, but with no one around she didn't really care if she was talking to herself.

"But what am I going to do about B-Incredible, I should've never left him back there-" her words were cut off as she heard the voices get louder. 'Fame, fortune, and power of course!' She heard. "Cupid."

A/N: I want Incrediboy to show up lol...

Sorry this took so long, major visits from my family and I'm trying to sell some stuff so I can buy something that can only be ordered in April. (I only have $60...it's $550...)

I've also been working on Helen's interveiw but it's harder than I thought...I know what needs to be in it but I don't know how to explain it.

I've got this HUGE idea for a Dash fan fiction but I really should finish these two first lol
