AN: I'm actually reading some Persephone/Hades fanfiction lately. (Because isn't it obvious I have a fondness of bad/good otps?)
Plus, I've been inlove with Hades since I was in high school.
Also I have decided to make a book two of this fanfiction (primarily because of all the good feedbacks! And I'm excited with the upcoming sequel of Incredibles, eventhough I know it'd be lacking of synlet canon lol)
Also short chapter for you guys!

Please leave a review!

When you're overwhelmed and you've lost your breath
When the space between the things you know is blurry nonetheless.
When you try to speak but you make no sound
And the words you want are out of reach but they've never been so loud

- Beside You, Marianas Trench

Bob stared at the mess as he looked for his daughter. Where is she? He would tear the whole place apart just to see her and Dash. Bob clenched his fist as he stared at the crowd, medics were all around and some people were also helping out.
When he saw her raven hair around the crowd, Bob felt satisfied.
Violet ran towards her father, wrapping herself around his protective arms.
"Violet..." his voice was hoarse. "Where's your brother?"
The question gave Violet a cold feeling on her spine. She could still see Dash slipping between her fingers.
But she held back the tears. "They... got him." that was the only respond she could say.
Bob gripped Violet tight and to be honest, she felt like he was going to crush her with the hug.
"Dad."
Bob didn't say another thing. He simply grumbled and stared far away.
"Dad, I'll find him..." she said. "I promise."

It's been hours. And Dash couldn't remember a single thing. His eyes flutter open as he stared at the ceiling. Where was he?
The last thing he remembered was Violet. Violet! He jolted awake and realized he was in a cell. He was boxed up in a metal cage. He doesn't like that. He doesn't like the feeling of being stuck in one place. Dash stood up and looked for a place to get out. A door. A window. But there was nothing. He touched the cold metal walls and tried to destroy it by hitting it with his body. He kept hitting and hitting but all it does is send him flying to the floor in pain.
"You'll just kill yourself."
The voice he heard made his heart jump out of his chest. Dash turned to see a girl on the corner of the room. He hadn't realized she was sitting there all this time.
"I'll die trying." he replied.
"I tried to do that before... it was no use." she confessed.
Dash stared blankly at the wall and down to his toes. He felt defeated. He felt weak. The girl slowly walked towards him and quietly sat on his side.
"I'm Lily." she said. "Lily Graves." The little girl looked the same as his age and has green eyes. She's ginger.
"Dash... Dash Parr." he said. "Do you know what they'll do with us?"
The girl shook her head. "But I heard rumors. They'll strip our powers from us. Turn us into slaves." she whispered.
Dash growled at the thought. He knew his family would come to his aid soon.
"Somebody will save us soon, Lily." he said. "Somebody will."

"I will." Violet interrupted her parents' conversation.
"No. Not in a million years." Bob replied, fist on the table.
"But Mr. Incredible-" Antonette tried to reason out.
"I believe it would be better if you keep yourselves out of this." Bob interjected. He wouldn't let Violet go after Morning Star. Losing Dash was already making him guilty. And he won't lose Violet too.
"Honey, you don't even have your powers back." Helen said softly. "You can't fight him."
"But I will." she replied. "I will do anything to get Dash back."
"Violet you need to stay he-"
"Dad. You spent whole your life protecting me and Dash." she said. "I need you to protect Jack-Jack now. And I promise you... I'll get him back." Bob didn't had a chance to answer. Violet already turned to the door.
"I promise you I'll get him back safe and sound."

As the jet doors pull down, Buddy met the group. They look horrible, debris in their hair, blood on their faces and arms, torn clothes and messed up hairs.
"I got good news and bad news." he said.
"Give me the bad news first so I can mourn." Antonette said.
"We're out of resource."
The four groaned. "What's the good news?" Violet asked.
"Good news is... the radar found Morning Star again." The four looked at Buddy, eyes shining with hope.
"Get the car. We're going restocking." Cara said.

Dash stared at Lily as she fiddled with her fingers. There was a creaking noise and Dash realized a line was forming on the wall, a line that created a door. The rectangular door like figure opened and a couple of guards walked in. Dash tried to ran off, but his collar just shocked him.
"Stupid boy." one guard huffed as they pushed another boy inside the cell.
Lily caught the boy and helped him up.
The guards cackle and closed the door, like it never really existed in the first place.
"What's your name?" Lily asked.
The boy grabbed his arm off Lily's hands. "Roman..." he sneered. "And don't touch me."
"Hey." Dash argued. "The girl was being polite."
"And who the hell are you? I don't care what you think." he snapped.
"We're all trapped here at least be nice before you die." Dash growled.
Lily stared at both of them, wide eyed. "What do you mean... before we die?" she asked.
"Do you think they just abduct us to keep us here as pets?" the boy muttered. "They're going to kill us, genius!"
"Stop it!" Dash grabbed him. "If you want to live, atleast be cooperative."
"Oh why?" Roman raised his eyebrow. "'Cause you have a marvelous plan?"
"I don't... but we shouldn't kill each other first." he snapped.

Violet stared at the holographic screen. Morning Star's ship is heading to Washington.
Tomorrow we're going to catch him there, she thought. Dash... Be safe.
Buddy stared at her from a distance. He was proud of her. He is proud of her.
Alfred cleared his throat to catch Buddy's attention.
"Tony Stark." he said. Buddy turned to Alfred. "I'm fixing your suit."
Buddy moved towards the other room and stared at his invention. "You think I can use it tomorrow?"
"I don't know. It depends." he replied. "The flight compatibility isn't ready yet."
Buddy stared at the glass case that enveloped his suit.
"Tomorrow, Morning Star won't even realize what hit him."

Violet didn't have the courage to sleep. Her mind won't let her. Let alone the thought of Dash being stuck in a villain ship.
She sat on her bed and stared blankly at the sheets.
"A penny for your thoughts?"
She didn't notice Buddy standing in her doorway. Violet let out a weak smile. He slowly walked toward her bed, footsteps echoing at the almost empty room.
"You should be resting." he said.
Violet didn't say anything except trace the lines of her sheets.
Buddy felt pity. He felt the sadness that covers her whole soul right now. The emptiness and longing. And he could see the emptiness in her eyes.
"Buddy." her soft voice called. He couldn't almost hear what she said but he turned to her.
"Do you think I'm fragile?"
The question made Buddy squint. He sat beside her and grabbed her hand, gently tracing the veins that were visible there.
He sighed. "No."
"Why?"
Buddy looked at her in the eyes. "Because if you were... I won't be here right now. You were strong enough to pull a grown man out of a psychopath's lair and brave enough to go looking for her. You're not fragile." he let out a sharp breath and stared at the darkness. "You're stronger than what you think you are."
Violet leaned her head to his shoulder. "Stay with me."
"I will, Violet." he assured her. "I'm right beside you." He buried his face on her soft and fragrant hair.
