AN: I got the chapter title from the manga "Nineteen Twenty-One" which is actually what it should look like if I made this Synlet a manga. (I'm trying lol). I'm really happy that somehow there are 30 people reading this (it means the SYNLET FANDOM ISN'T DEAD YAY!). Thank you so much for reading!
All the writers keep writing what they write
Somewhere another pretty vein just dies
I've got the scars from tomorrow and I wish you could see
That you're the antidote to everything except for me, me
- My Songs Know What You Did In The Dark, Fall Out Boy
Violet was in her room, writing her homework. Her laptop was infront of her. Besides wikipedia and google, her skype was open. She was talking to Kari.
She was wearing her rock band shirt and a shorts. She noticed that her crackers were almost gone. She held her book and made way to the kitchen.
"Nice shorts."
"Bloody hell!" she jumped. "Can you atleast not give me a heartattack? I thought you were working on something on your room."
Buddy was holding a mechanical part of something. Violet had been hearing noises from his room.
"Yeah, I was. I went out to get something on my toolbox." he explained.
Violet glared and proceeded to the fridge. She grabbed a box of crackers and a bottle of milk.
"What are you reading?" he asked.
"Nothing of your concern."
"Physics?" he noticed the cover of the book.
Violet didn't answer, instead moved back to her room.
"You know you need to talk to me sooner. You'll go crazy." he smirked.
"I'd rather be crazier than having a normal conversation with you." she said.
Back at her room, her phone rang. Violet quickly picked up.
It was her dad.
"Hey, Vi. How's my girl?" he asked.
"Hi dad. I'm fine." she said.
"Mom told me you found an apartment. I hope you're getting comfortable there."
If comfortable you mean getting my patience running out, because that guy that killed us is currently living with me.
"Yeah. It's good. The school was awesome, dad."
"I knew you'd like it there." Bob smiled. "I miss you, sunbeam."
"Miss you too, dad." a weak smile crept to her lips.
Jack Jack suddenly dropped his bowl and Violet heard it from the other line.
"Hey, I need to go. Your brother's getting crazy again. Be safe, okay?"
"Bye, dad."
"Your powers are your core. You get everything in there. You lost it. You lost half of your life." It was their Physical Exam... but in SU they call it Power Exam. Coach Jones was teaching them how to control and make their powers stronger.
"Okay, enough talk. Let's get some action in this place!" he said. There was a chamber where each one of the students would be tested. Each test has their own difficulty level.
"Keynes. You're in." he pointed at the boy infront Violet and Antonette.
The boy stood at the center of the chamber.
"This exam is supported by an artificial intelligence. Each opponent you face is not real, but the hit they'll give you will hurt." Coach Jones grinned. "Level 1, Keynes."
There was an image forming not far from where Keynes was standing. It was an image of a man.
"Let's see what you got."
The opponent went rushing in Keyne's direction. The boy was fast enough to move away but when the ai hit him, he slide down the floor.
"Ow." Antonette exclaimed. "That probably hurt."
Keynes stood up and focused on his enemy.
"Enough playing, Keynes. Show us your powers." Coach Jones ordered.
Keynes smirked. "If that's what you want, coach."
The enemy was already running to his way and Keynes ran to face him. To the class' surprise when they both hit each other the boy disappeared.
"Where'd he go?" Violet asked.
Keynes appeared behind the enemy and grabbed its arm and swung it to the side.
"Teleportation." Coach Jones said. "Good job, Keynes. Now get back in here."
The boy laughed and joined the class.
"Parr. You're next." Coach said.
Violet moved towards the chamber.
"You can do it, Vi!" Antonette cheered.
The chamber was a big blank space except for the window where she can see her classmates and coach.
"Level 1, Parr."
She watched as the sensors slowly create her opponent.
"Remember... This is a practice for you when you face villains and criminals."
Villains. The word fueled her heart.
Villain. Syndrome. Buddy Pine. The opponent infront of her changed into Buddy's image.
Violet clenched her fist. "Okay Parr you're ready."
As soon as her coach gave her the green signal she ran towards the image and gave it a great punch and a hard kick, sending the enemy to the other side of the chamber.
"Good, Parr." the coach cleared his throat.
The other students were impressed too.
Just as her opponent was about to get up, Violet immediately moved. She jumped into it, her technique somehow reminded Antonette about Black Widow from the movies. She strangled the opponent and it suddenly threw her aside. But Violet was ready to lunge.
She disappeared. The artificial intelligence looked around to detect her, but Violet was already atop of it.
"Parr, control." Coach Jones instructed.
But Violet wasn't listening anymore. To her, the opponent wasn't an artificial intelligence. It was Syndrome.
She created two plate sized forcefield with her hand and crushed its head, making it slowly disintegrate.
"Wow." Antonette's jaw dropped.
Violet's chest was wild, her breathing was very fast. When she came back to join the class, Coach Jones gently grabbed her arm.
"Parr, we train supers to be heroes. Not to be villains, you do understand that?" he kept his eyes on her.
"Yes, coach." Violet answered before getting back to Antonette.
"What happened back there, Vi?" Antonette sat down beside her. Violet simply shrugged it off, not wanting to talk about it again.
"You were flaming back there. I mean, are you angry about something? I've never seen you before like that."
Violet kept her eyes on her meal. "I'm just... excited." she replied.
"Excited?"
"Don't mind it, Antonette." she insisted. Antonette finally decided to lay it off. "Do you have any plans for the weekend?" she asked Violet.
For a moment, Violet realized she didn't have any plans. She was too focused on school that having fun was forgotten on her list.
"I'm going to watch movies on Sunday, want to come?" Antonette asked.
"Sure, Ann. I'd pick you up on the uni dorm?"
"Sure. Hey, Vi. You're not staying at the dorm, right? Where's your apartment? Can I come in for a visit maybe sometime?"
Violet almost choked at her request. She doesn't want Ann to see Buddy. She wouldn't want that.
"I don't know, Ann. Maybe some other time." she said. "My roommate's kinda... awkward.. or something."
"Okay." Ann smiled.
Violet walked up to the apartment, feeling really tired. Just as she was about to open the door, Mrs. Trevor called her.
"Violet. Me and my husband will be leaving for the weekend. We'll come back, maybe on Sunday night, okay?" she told her.
"Yes, Mrs. Trevor." that was the only reply she could say. As the old couple walk away, Violet realized something.
Mrs. Trevor is out. Nobody will hear a thing. Nobody. An evil grin was plastered across her face.
She ran up to the apartment, laughing.
Buddy was watching television while Violet was in the kitchen, trying to open a can of pineapple juice. She refused the help Buddy offered before.
It was news. Of course, it's about Mr. Incredible saving the day.
"Too bad you're not as strong as your dad." Buddy grinned. That was it. That was the trigger.
"Hey, dofus!"
Buddy turned just in time for his face to be hit by a flying can of pineapple juice.
"What was that for?!" he groaned as he rubbed his nose.
She noticed that Violet was running towards him like a wild cat.
"Hey! Hey! Hey!" he shouted.
Violet punched him, once, twice... many times. Thankfully, Buddy's arms were big enough to shield him from the attacks.
"Violet, what the hell are you doing!?"
"Killing you!" she snapped. Buddy caught her wrist and managed to stop her.
"Can you atleast stop and be like a normal person?!" he muttered. Violet suddenly bit him, on the neck, on his arms and shoulder. He threw her aside and stood far away from her.
"Hey, hey... I'm sorry, okay? And seriously, biting me? I sure hope you don't have rabies." he said. She was fast and she already lunges towards him.
"Somebody help me!"
After few biting, throwing of stuffs, kicking and punching, Buddy pinned her to the floor. Thank god she's finally exhausted. he thought.
"Are you happy now, tantrum baby?" he asked.
Violet tried to get up but Buddy was keeping his weight on her. "Get off me, fathead."
"Okay, stop. Stop it, Violet. What do you want?" he asked, leaning closer to her face.
"You know what I want? I want to kill you. I want to punch you in every way possible!" she gritted her teeth. Buddy sighed and let her go. He stood up and spread his arms.
"Go on. Kill me." he said. Violet stared at him, cursing.
She stood up and glared at him. Buddy simply smirked. "See... You can't do-'
"Rawr!"
"VIOLET, I WAS JOKING!"
When the fight was over, really over, Violet went back to her room. Buddy was rubbing his injuries from what he calls 'Tiger Violet Mode'.
"She needs some medication. She's wild." he muttered before going to the bathroom. He touched the one on his neck and hissed.
"Buddy, what's that?" Alfred asked. Alfred was one of the kids on reform program by NSA. And Violet was actually right, it's a school. He and Buddy were walking around Lawton, probably looking for something fun. He noticed the red mark on Buddy's neck and Buddy's cheek turned red in embarrassment. I should've worn a scarf. he thought. "Nothing, Al. Insect bites." he lied. Alfred narrowed his eyes. Buddy knew what he was thinking.
"No. I don't have a girlfriend. And no, I didn't have sex last night." he snapped.
"I'm not saying anything." Al laughed. Buddy glared at him. Alfred stared at the blue sky above them.
"How's the Parr kid?" he asked. Buddy scoffed and shook his head. "Terrible. She tries to kill me each time."
"It's human emotion, Bud. Pain and revenge."
"I was trying to be friendly." Buddy argued.
Alfred stared at him giving him the 'are-you-serious' look.
"She needs time, Bud. Just show her that you're capable of changing." Al said.
"Y'know for someone who was once destroying things, you change a lot in a small time. Is it the reform program?" Buddy asked.
"I'm not really the one destroying things back then, Bud. I was just.. a tool. And when I was given a chance to change. I didn't mess it up." he said, patting his shoulder.
Violet forgot about what happened last night. What's important is that she's having fun with Antonette today. They were watching Iron man 3. She didn't really understand why Antonette loves these kinds of films. I mean there are real heroes out there. We don't need CGI stuffs anymore. Then she realized what she was missing. It was the story. When a super watches this kind of film it's like his or her life was rolling with the camera. She finally understood why Dash loved watching these kinds of movies. After watching the movie, Violet and Antonette headed to the ice cream store.
"I really love Robert Downey, Jr." Antonette kept on rambling.
"Hey, girls."
The two turned to see who it was and both of their eyes widened. It was Jonah. In all of his gloriousness. He was wearing a jacket and green shirt that almost matches his eyes.
"You're the girls from class 1A, right? Freshmen?" he asked again.
"Um.. Yeah. W-we are." Violet replied. Antonette was already blushing red.
"I heard about you. You're the Parr girl." he said to Violet. "Your dad was really amazing."
He then turned to Antonette. "You're Megabolt's daughter. Nice to have both of you ladies here." he smiled. Oh gosh, his smile. It could light up the whole town.
Jonah is Class 2A student. He's a sophomore and possesses the power to generate fire.
"I need to go now." he said and bid goodbye. The two of the girls stared at him as he disappeared in the crowd.
"Isn't he dreamy?"
"Yes."
