Lisa was seeing more of Billy as the days grew on and she even hung the picture he made for her on the door of her room.
Lisa: So when did you discover that you could paint?
Billy: Pre school finger painting, my teacher saw a artist at work when the class was making pictures of their homes, I made one of a full bodied puppy.
Lisa: I started writing in first grade when I learned what the letters meant and how to make sentences.
Billy: So when did you see that you had a special ability?
Lisa(Smiling) I was four and playing hide and go seek with my mom, I stretched across the shower pole and never got found.
Billy: Sounds cool Lise, have you ever used your powers to get even with bullies?
Lisa: Never had them, I'm naturally tough so bullies run when they see me.
Billy: I wish they ran when they saw me, I'm a bully magnet to older kids.
Lisa: But it's better now right?, I mean your not picked in here are you?
Billy(Glumly) I'm afraid so, a boy named Mark Sanders picks on me constantly even after I started a lighning storm and sent him to the hospital.
Lisa: Come on Bill, let's go see this so called bully of yours, he's going to wish he never met you or me.
Billy(Shuffling his feet) I don't know he's a pretty strong boy.
Lisa: And this girl is flexible, he can't hurt an elastic band but I can sure put a whooping on him.
Billy led Lisa to the hall and to Mark's room where Violet was doing her rounds.
Violet: Billy check, Aphrodite check, Wendy, Wendy, Wendy where are you sweetie?
A gigiling came from the snack table as a brownie, a chocolate chip cookie, and a bag of Dorito's floated in the air as Violet smiled.
Violet: Ohhhhhhh yes the good old days, I used to do that all the time at her age.
Violet checked off Wendy's name off the list as Billy showed Lisa to Mark's room.
Lisa: Hey strongman I heard you like to pick on ppor defenseless boys.
Mark: Yea so what if I do?, I mean what's Sparky going to do electricute himself?
Violet(Walking up to Kendra) Let's try a little expieriment Kendra, I want you to run as fast as you can when I make a force field around you.
Kendra(Shrugging) Hey what else have I got to do today Mrs. Parr?, I'm so in if your ready.
Violet closed her eyes and in a matter of seconds she made a force field around Kendra as she ran and the Incrediball was back in action.
Violet: make your first left here, if he wants to pick on Billy I think we should teach him a lesson.
Kendra ran up to Mark's door As Violet kept her force field strong.
Lisa: I'm giving you two choices tough guy, A you leave Billy alone and be on your merry old way.
Mark: And B?
Lisa: B you continue to pick on him and learn what a girl this fexible can do.
Mark(Laughing) And what are you two supposed to be a beach ball?
Lisa: Answer my question you big bully.
Mark: I think I'm going to continue picking on Sparky, I mean it's the brightest part of my day.
Lisa stretched her thin body across Mark until her midsection was across his lips.
Lisa: Ohhhhhhhhhhh wrong answer buddy, you don't know who your screwing with.
Billy: Awesome I have somebody to protect me kind of like a bodyguard.
Lisa: I'll tell you one more time nicely until I get angry, leave Billy alone I mean what has he ever done to you?
Mark shook his head no and mumbled an answer as Lisa stretched her body straight as a stick and stared at Mark.
Lisa: You have no idea the whooping I can put on you, and if not me maybe Violet and Kendra would like to give it a try.
Violet: And we would seeing that your hurting a defenseless boy.
Mark mumbled again as what people took as the wind pulled the sheets out from under him and he landed hard on the floor.
Wendy(Becoming visible) The great thing about my powers is that you never know when or where I'm striking next.
Lisa: Now let's talk about the reason you think Billy is your personal bully toy.
Mark: Because he's weaker than weak, and that is bully bait if I've ever seen it.
Kendra heard enough as she ran at Mark and Violet's force field bounced him out of the room and the others followed.
Lisa(Stretching her arm around Mark's neck) All right let's see how you like being bullied, Billy do whatever you want to him he's all yours.
Mark(Gasping) Can't- breathe- loosen- grip- I- beg- of- you.
Lisa: Not so much fun when your on the other end of the bully stick is it?
Billy walked up to Mark and all of his panned up agression was burning inside of him as he slowly floated above everybody his body becoming bright blue.
Lisa: I think I'm going to let you go now, because whatever he has cooked up is bound to put a hurtin on you.
Everybody including Lisa took cover as Mark gasped for air falling to the floor.
Billy: I'm tired of being picked on by you Mark, now get what's coming to you.
Billy spread his arms out as a big bolt of lightning flew at Mark and Billy colided hitting the floor hard and Mark's clothes were ripped and he shook.
Violet(Breaking the forcefield) Oh my God Billy sweetie are you all right, can you hear me?
Billy moaned and he became lifeless as Violet rushed him to the nurses office and Mark ran after her.
Mark: Not that you care but I'm fine, in fact I'm tip top shape thanks for asking.
Violet(Rounding on him) If you didn't test him every single day maybe he'd still be conscious.
Nurse: Dear Lord Mrs. Parr what happened to this little boy?
Violet: I was hoping you could tell me nurse, I mean one second he's floating and the next he falls unconscious.
Lisa(Weeping) Please let him be all right, he's all I've got in this world.
Nurse(Shining a light in his eyes) He'll be fine, the force of his powers must have shocked him, he has to stay here for the night I'm afraid.
Violet: Whatever it takes to make my little boy feel better, How long do you think he'll need?
Nurse: A good couple days of rest tops, so if he does come around make sure he stays in his room and rests.
Lisa(Kissing him) Come on Bill wake up, you can take harder hits than that I know you can.
Billy slowly opened his eyes and looked at Lisa as a thin smile came over his face.
Billy(Weak) You gave me my first kiss, and I'll never forget it.
Lisa(Blushing) Yea well if you weren't inches from death I wouldn't have done it.
Billy(Slowly sitting up) I feel weird, kind of wobbly and rubbery.
Lisa: Join the club I feel that way 24/7.
Violet(Hugging him) I thought I'd never see you again, where did you learn to do that?
Aphrodite: I thought he was the lightning man, you know like Storm from X men.
Violet: He's never made anything that big happen before, at least I don't think he has.
Billy(Shaking his head) Not like that, it was like I couldn't control my emotions and then Boooooooommmmmm I let go of them.
Violet: We're going to need Boooooooooommmmmmmmmmm soon enough Billy, we have a villian that's looking for us.
Mark: Again I'm fine everybody thanks for asking.
Nurse: I would still like to examine you, now hop up on the table and quit your bellyaching.
Nurse(Shaking her head) I don't like the looks of these cuts, their pretty deep and you'll need to treat them today.
Billy(Staring at Marks huge cuts) Wowwwwwwwwww I did that?
Violet: You see Billy you can fight back, whatever you did today is what you have to learn to do on a regualr basis.
Billy(Looking at Aphrodite) Do you really think I'm like Storm from X men?, she's kind of like my idol.
Aphrodite: Sure I mean she makes lightning come and so do you right?
Billy: I doubt she ever fainted after it, I mean she's stronger than I am at this stuff.
Aphrodite: She's also a comic book, cartoon, and movie character, there's no real Storm out there, but there is a Billy Parr.
Billy: I wonder if I'm able to do that all the time?, you know become turbo charged and whatnot.
Aphrodite: I wouldn't try that again kid, for today anyways I mean you just fainted and are on bedrest.
Violet: That's right and that's why we got you a Tv for such an occasion, your not to move from that bed for two days at least young man.
Billy(Smiling) Your starting to sound more like a mother.
Violet(Tucking him into bed) Well I should after all I am one, now you relax and watch Tv, play video games, just don't practice your powers.
Billy's door closed as he slowly drifted off and he was in his dreamworld with total darkness surrounding him.
Syndrome's Voice: it's been awhile kid, why don't we talk about your powers shall we?
Billy: What do you want with me, It's not like I made you fly into a jet engine did I?
Syndrome stepped out of the drakness and we see he hasn't changed a bit, he still has orange hair and the villian suit.
Syndrome: You didn't kill me but the woman that's taking care of you, her parents killed me and now I need you to bring me back.
Billy: Then you must have done something really bad, becuase then why would they kill you?
Syndrome: Because their the bad people in this world Billy, their trying to hide the fact that your super friends are really super.
Billy: No their not Mrs. Parr is helping us, why do you think she let's us use our powers.
Syndrome: For the simple reason anyone is allowed to use their powers, she can't help but let you use them.
Billy(Throwing a newspaper at Syndrome) Sure she can word on the street is she's learned how to control super powers.
Syndrome(Smiling) It says here that she has to test it, now who do you think's going to be her gunea pig for that?
Billy: I will of course, I mean I'm her son now and I'll do anything to remain her son.
Syndrome: If you don't bring me back the villian Mrs. Parr talks about, which happens to be my wife will find a way to bring me back.
Billy(Turning his back on Syndrome) Then why don't you haunt her dreams instead of mine?
Syndrome: She's too old to believe in dreams, your just the right age so I'll ask again bring me back or suffer.
Billy(Staring into Syndormes cold angry eyes) No I don't trust you, and people I don't trust are usually mean, evil, or just plain bad.
Syndrome(Grabbing Billy's arms) If you bring me back you'll be hailed by everyone as the boy who brought back a hero.
Billy: Or I could be the boy who brought back a villian, are you going to be able to deal with that?
Syndrome: Honestly yes I'll be able to totally deal with that.
Billy(Walking off) Well I can't Mr. Syndrome, there's a reason why Mrs. Parr never looked for you and I'm the method to her madness.
Syndrome: Or you could be her trophy son, if what she created is true and she can control the powers then you'll be her trophy.
Billy: In your words I'll totally be able to deal with that.
Syndrome(Grabbing Billy's shirt) Listen you snot nosed little puke, I want to come back and your going to help me got it?
Billy: Not all of it, the helping you come back part is still kind of fuzzy to me.
Syndrome: If you don't help me then when I do come back you'll be the first person to know.
Billy let out a lightning storm as Syndrome was thrown back into the darkness and Billy screamed as he saw Syndromes suit on him.
Violet(Talking on her cell) You should have seen him mom, he was great and I think we stand a chance against Mirage now.
Lisa slinked as fast as she could down the hall to Billy's room as Kendra booked it and Violet ran to catch up.
Billy(Screaming) Noooooooooooo I won't help you, I'm not bad and I never will be, just leave me alone pppllleeeaaassseeee leave me alone.
Violet(Grabbing her keys) The doors locked girls, I thought he was safer this way from Mark.
Mark: What is the shrimp screaming about now?
When Billy's door opened we see the blue streak back in his hair as he sits straight up dripping from head to toe in cold sweat.
Billy(Mumbling) He can't come back, I won't help him and he needs me to bring him back somehow.
Violet(Slowly walking up to Billy) Billy sweetie what happened?, who's trying to get you to bring who back?
Billy(Looking into Violet's eyes) Syndrome he's in my dreams, and he wants me to help him get back into the real world.
Lisa: Syndrome who's that?
Violet: An old enemy of me and my family, and Billy you can't bring him back, my family and I watched him burn a long time ago.
Billy: Mom did you ever find a way to control your powers, because in the paper I read it says you may have found a cure.
Violet: Well I have found a cure but why would you want it?
Billy(Holding his head) I want the dreams to end and maybe with no super powers Syndrome will stop coming to me.
Violet(Sitting next to him) His wife is the villian that's after us Billy, if you could control the thing you did today to Mark I'm thinking we stand a chance.
Wendy smiled as she made a little forcefield around Kendra and she ran into her making the forcefield break.
Violet(Smiling) It looks like the Incrediball could use some work huh ladies?
Kendra: Well I'm doing what I'm supposed to do, but the forcefield could do to be a little stronger.
Wendy: It isn't my fault, The forcefield thingamajig is hard to make for me.
Violet said goodbye to Helen and looked down at poor Billy who was shivering from the cold sweat.
Violet: I'm telling you Billy he can't come back without you, your the one who can bring him back and that is so not an option right now.
Billy: I'm not bringing him back, he was a bad man which is why he's dead in the first place.
Wendy: At least he's dead, I mean he can't come alive from nightmares can he?
Violet(Rubbing Billy's hair) No he can't, now let's get you a shower and some dinner, then it's right back here to rest.
Billy(Shuffling into the hall) Ok but I'm still a little scared.
Violet: Nightmares will do that, that's why people are so scared to fall asleep sometimes.
Mark: I'm not afraid of anything, now if you'll excuse me I have some rest of my own to get.
Lisa followed Billy and Violet to the boys room door and Violet looked down at her.
Violet: You really care about him don't you?
Lisa: Yea I mean he made a picture of me, and he's seems so small and useless sometimes.
Violet: It's his nightmares that are scaring him, and if we could get in there we could save him.
Lisa: Mrs. Parr Your a genius, we can get in his head we have a mind reader with us don't we?
Violet: yes but I don't know how that will help us.
Lisa: She reads minds and dreams are thoughts aren't they, maybe she can get us into his nightmare and we could end them.
Violet: I never looked at it that way, And if we can get in we can also take Syndrome out.
Lisa: Now your cooking with gas Mrs. Parr.
Kendra and Wendy rolled past Violet as Wendy looked like she was going to throw up.
Wendy: Slow down I feel like I'm going to puke Kendra.
At the word puke Kendra stopped running and Wendy's forcefield broke as she ran for the girl's room.
Kendra: She's a rookie, with a little more practice maybe she'll be as good as you Mrs. Parr.
Violet: At least she learned how to make the forcefield, now she has to learn to keep her dinner up when rolling.
Lisa: How long does it take him to take a shower anyways?
Billy came out of the shower as steam creeped out of the door and he looked at Violet and smiled.
Billy: I didn't know I had fans waiting for me, I'm going to be just fine ladies, it was just a scary dream.
Lisa: What do you say to a midnight snack in the mess hall, that is if Wendy didn't eat it all.
Wendy(Green in the face) Please don't mention the word eat, my stomach's still rolling like Kendra and I was.
Billy: Rolling what were you practicing somersaults?
Wendy: Nope I learned how to use the Incrediball, but Kendra runs way too fast and I feel like a hampster on a wheel.
Kendra: hey it's my power to run, you can't blame me for running fast.
Wendy: At least give me some kind of warning when your going to book it next time.
Kendra: Well the next time we make the Incrediball here's a warning in advance I'm going to go fast.
Wendy(Holding her stomach) And I'll remember not to eat before then.
Kendra: Good i have to jet, I'm kind of tired from making Wendy a human Hampster.
Wendy: Ha ha very funny, I'm going to bed soon because it's almost ten.
Violet checked her watch and saw that Wendy was right as she led Billy and Lisa to their rooms.
Violet(Kissing Billy's forehead) All right kiddo sleep tight and sweet dreams.
Lisa pulled a sleeping bag to Billy's room and snuggled up next to his bed.
Lisa: Until we can get into his dreams I'm going to sleep in his room for his protection.
Violet: I'm not sure he needs it, but I'm sure he appreciates the thought of having a friend to help him.
Lisa put a pillow on the floor and closed her eyes as the lights went out and Violet went to round up the rest of the supers.
Violet: All right troops brush your teeth and get to bed it's ten o clock and tomorrow's a big day for most of us.
Mark: Most of us?
Violet: Yes Billy will not be joining us until he's one hundred percent better.
Mark: And we will be doing?
Violet: Chores and we're going to do what Billy did today and find our inner feelings, making our powers work overtime.
Mark: I hate chores, I mean your treating us like we're still living at home and we're not.
Aphrodite(Brushing her hair) I don't mind chores, it'll give me something to do tomorrow.
Violet: That's the spirit indestructable girl, let's all think like that it gives us something to do.
