A/N: The angst...is finally over. :D (It's hard writing angst for me...)

Falling;

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

Robert was a simple man, with a short temper, yet still...very simple. He'd bite his tongue and listen to another man's orders...but he always had this constant ticking in his mind that'd tell him to...'chime' Incredible's clock was more of a sundial. It relied on a shadow to truly tell anything, this "shadow" being his mask, or his identity entirely. Mr. Incredible never had to hold his tongue, he could easily just use his fist to tell the answer...but was it even the right thing to do? But right now he didn't have a temper, although his clinched jaw gave off another idea, Mr. Incredible could handle himself, he didn't only have physical strength. The man was highly educated and knew how to deal with his emotions, even if Helen and Elastigirl had him a bit Topsy-turvy.

So the blond was now free, even if he still appeared to be tied by the chains around his wrist, he was just pretending to be stuck, waiting for the perfect moment to attack...or grab him. But the moment he had his chance to do anything the villain was quickly distracted by another super. Cupid's super. Of course Elastigirl didn't belong to Cupid...or anyone at that, she was still his main target. The super heroine most likely never imagined to be in this situation period.

Mr. Incredible did not want to be thought to have been saved by Elastigirl. He had too much pride, even though his face was hidden behind a mask, he didn't want Mr. Incredible, a nearly invincible international superhero, to seem weak. Even though women rights activist or other feminist wouldn't be too happy if Incredible actually stated that aloud, he didn't care. He could change how he truly felt, no matter who he was dating. A "super man" shouldn't be "saved" by a women, super or not. He could remember the time Meta man was "saved" by Apogee. Of all the guys, Meta man, one of the most powerful guys there was, Mr. Incredible didn't want to be another "invincible" man saved by a co-working woman, or man at that.

Yet he still wondered what he should do with this situation. Should he risk the chance of Elastigirl claiming to have saved him, or missing the chance to see the sexy dame in action- he means miss the chance to nab Cupid. For once, the tension wasn't apparent between the two. Helen had to face the truth, no matter what Mr. Incredible and Elastigirl always had chemistry, they could plan out the next move without giving hints or clues. But they were supers, Robert and Helen were human. It wasn't necessarily a bad thing, and still isn't now. Having a superhero relationship doesn't last- see the whole chapter of Elastigirl's past "relationships" with co-workers. Something about Robert Parr was just...different. Before the two could even attempt to rejoice Cupid was making his next move.

"Well hello Elastigirl, nice of you to drop in! I must say you're looking nice today, even if you are a bit damp." Cupid noted her wet auburn strands. Helen sent him a look, she was beginning to lose her patience. Her brown eyes constantly toggled from one man to the other. Bob-Cupid-Cupid-Bob. She didn't know who to focus on more, but seeing as Bob wasn't going anywhere right now she decided to just place all her attention on Cupid.

"Nice to see you too Cupid," she lied. "I've always wondered how you managed to know it was me when you're blindfolded." The villain smirked and quickly pulled out an arrow and reached for his bow. Helen reached out her arm towards it, but she couldn't grab it in time. With just the flick of his wrist Cupid sent the arrow across the room, Helen could hear it fly past her ear. Of course neither super was focusing on the villain when it was in the air. They didn't know what to expect, but surely neither one of them was going to stick around. But they still had to save the other captives and catch their man. So when time seemed to slow when the arrow was in the air Mr. Incredible revealed he wasn't even trapped the whole time, Helen quickly twisted her heel to see what was going to happen while backing up the opposite way. Cupid sent off a smirk as he backed up against what many would see as a mirror, which was actually a window all along. But it wasn't like the man could just jump out of a window underground. Tunnels were probably hidden. As the arrow finally hit the wall the two heroes winced as it triggered a smoke bomb to go off. Sure it wasn't too major, but it was toxic and they had to leave the area quick to escape air pollution. They could hear an echoing chuckle from the little blindfolded man as they rushed into the hallway.

They were coughing and panting, attempting to catch their breath. "Should we go after him?" Incredible questioned. Elastigirl shook no.

"I think the best thing to do now is just get the captives out, we both know Cupid will rise again. Then I'll get him."

"Oh you'll get him." Bob remarked going towards what seemed to be the captive Helen knocked out. "What happened here?"

"Mind control."

"Ah." They were beginning to have that uncomfortable feeling again. So Bob, being the genius he is, quickly lifted the man and walked back outside the hallway. He didn't know what to say, maybe his pride was getting in the way.

Helen adjusted her hair, she didn't know what else to do. "I saw the other two go in that direction," she stated pointing over his shoulder, while running past him quickly she nearly tripped. Laughing nervously she continued down the hall, and there they were, the rest of them, all knocked out. "Hm...I wonder what caused that," she murmured. Elastigirl did not have super strength, well...the elasticity of herself did give her a bit more strength than the average woman, but she wasn't classified in the NSA database for her muscles. "Incredible!" she shouted out. For some reason she wanted cupid to appear again, just to feel that chemistry between them again.

"Whoa, you knock them out?" Bob questioned with a raised brow.

"No...I don't know who, or what did this. But right now we need to get these people out."

"Yeah." The two had an uncomfortable vibe between them, even an unconcious man could sense it most likely. Mr. Incredible and Elastigirl just stood there, imagine seeing a tall guy with tons of grocery bags, that's how Mr. Incredible looked with all of the hostages. Helen couldn't help but laugh some, but she quickly turned away and continued down the hallway, only to hear those stomps behind her a few moments later. She wasn't annoyed by them anymore, and she even smiled some."Elastigirl."

"Yes?"

"I need to talk to you after we drop these hostages off and tell the police about Cupid."

"Um...okay? What's this about?"

"You'll see."

"Oh my god where the hell are they?" Rebecca shouted. "Oh my god...what if they're..."

"They're not dead!" Honey shouted. "Stop thinking about them and focus on something else!"

'That girl has serious worrying issues, doesn't she understand there jobs by now?' Frozone thought with a sigh. In due time the teenager would learn...hopefully.

A/N: I think I only have like...two more chapters before this is over. o 3 o
