Chapter 2

When Helen saw where the homing beacon was she realized that Bob had lied to her and had been for months she broke down and started crying. "I've lost him," she boo hooed.

Edna looked at her like she had gone crazy; she jumped up on the table separating them and strode down to where Helen was sobbing into her hands. "What's the matter with you" she asked angrily

Helen couldn't understand why she was mad at her, after all Bob was the one that was lying. "I'm losing my husband, he has been misleading me for months." she said hesitantly.

"Then show him who he is, show him who you are, Elasti Girl." Edna smacked Helen with the rolled up descriptions of their uniforms to snap her out of her misery, whap, whap.

Helen was surprised at the sudden attack and shrank back.

"Show him the woman you are, the woman he married, fight for him, you are Elasti Girl" Edna shouted at her, then as if everything was alright she said in normal voice as she turned to go. "And come back to see me when you return, it has been to long darling don't be such a stranger.

Helen left bewildered but as she drove home she started getting mad and then madder. When she got home she called Violet to her room. "I have to go away for a day; you're in charge until I get back."

Violet could see her mom was angry, "why, what's going on."

"Just something I have to do." Helen told her in a no nonsense voice.

"It's dad isn't it, is he in trouble," then seeing that dad's done something wrong look said "or is he the trouble?"

Helen was packing an overnight bag as she talked to Violet "If he isn't in trouble then he's going to be." She picked up the phone and made a call to a number she hadn't used in twenty years but still remembered.

She shooed Violet out and opened the bag she had brought from Edna's, it contained the uniforms Edna had made. They were all made on the same design, although she didn't know it they looked like Mr. Incredible's. With the exception that Violet's and hers had upper thigh length black shiny boots instead of the calf high boots of the male members of the family. She was holding up one when Dash came in.

"Hey, what's that?" He wanted to know.

"Nothing, now go on I'm busy." she eased him out of the door and shut it.

Quick as a flash he was around the house looking in one of the windows, he saw several uniforms laid on the bed. "Hey one's my size." he shouted.

Helen stretched her arm and drew down the shade, he was at the other window and she did the same to that. Suddenly he zipped into the room and was gone with his uniform before she could react "Dash, you get back here." she hollered.

Violet came back in, "What's all the shouting about."

Dash zipped back in already dressed in the uniform. "Look cool huh, and there's one for you too."

"Mom, what's going on" Violet wanted to know?

"Nothing, look I gave you your orders, now get out of here and let me pack." She made Dash take off his uniform and once she got them out of the room she put theirs in the back of the closet. Just on a whim she threw hers in the carry bag. The phone rang and she answered it.

"Yeah, hi Snog, fine fine, look I am calling in a solid you owe me, what's the fastest plane you have?"

Less than an hour later Helen was piloting a speedy government version of a corporate jet across the ocean. As she headed for the Island she radioed for landing instructions, to her surprise she received no answer.

It had been a long time since she was Elasti Girl but her sense of danger was still with her and this didn't seem quite right. She looked at the bag containing the new suit, with a weary sigh she got up and went into the wash room to change from the housewife duds she was wearing to the new uniform. After getting it on she checked herself out in the mirror to see that it fit right. It was skin tight and for the first time, well maybe not the first time but this time it was more noticeable, she saw the weight she had put on in the ass department. Wasn't huge but a whole lot bigger then the tight round buns in her old costume. She patted one cheek with a black clad hand, "Have to work on that."

As she made her way back to the pilot's chair she threw her carry bag into one of the empty seats.

A startled "Oww" came from the empty seat. Helen looked at the bag sitting several inches above the seat. "Violet" she said in that angry mothers voice.

Violet appeared dressed in her uniform "It's all Dash's fault, I couldn't make him stay and I was trying to keep him out of trouble." She was pleading her case as best she could.

Helen looked around "Dash you come out here this instant."

He appeared sheepishly from behind the last seat. Helen turned to Violet "So you just left Jack Jack by himself."

"Oh, no Mom I'm not irresponsible, I got a sitter." Violet was indignant that her mother thought she would leave her baby brother unattended.

Helen called the house and a young voice answered, it was a neighbor girl, 15 years old, a nice enough kid but had really strange ideas. Helen wasn't sure she was mature enough to handle everything but she was convinced enough for the moment so she let it go. As she hung up she heard a warning buzzer go off in the cockpit.

Mr. Incredible had been hanging in the energy bonds for several hours when Syndrome came striding in followed by Mirage. "So the mighty Mr. Incredible called for help, I'm disappointed in you; I thought you always worked alone."

Mr. Incredible looked up, "I didn't call anyone, and I didn't even know I had a homing device on me."

"Yeah right, then how come a government plane is asking for permission to land." Syndrome turned on the speaker and Mr. Incredible heard a voice asking for permission to land, he recognized it instantly. "Helen" he breathed.

"So then if you don't know them then you don't mind if I get rid of them." Syndrome turned and pushed a red button on the comm. console. It happened before Mr. Incredible knew what he was doing. Several missiles fired upwards from hidden emplacements on the Island.

Helen made her way to the cockpit and saw the track of incoming missiles. "Strap yourself in kids" she hollered and almost immediately had to fire flares and bank steeply to avoid the first missile. She continued to call into the radio "Break off the attack, break off the attack, we are not hostile." She repeated this continuously but it seemed each missile she escaped two more was in the air.

"Violet put a force field around us." She shouted.

"But mom you told us to never use our powers." Violet protested.

"Well now I'm telling you to." Helen shouted as she jerked the plane into another steep dive.

Violet tried but she could only generate a small field no bigger than a couple of feet.

"I... I... Can't." She stammered.

"Violet do it now." Helen screamed.

Violet was scared and she couldn't seem to make anything bigger then what she already had.

Helen was screaming into the microphone. May Day May Day, we are under attack, we have children aboard, I repeat we have children aboard." She saw two missiles homing in and she had no more flares just before they hit she made herself into a shield and wrapped herself around both of her children.

Mr. Incredible heard the voice clearly say that there were children aboard, he was horror stricken. "No" he shouted in a strangled voice. Mirage also heard and with a startled gasp moved to destroy the missiles, Syndrome blocked her way.

"It's just a trick to get us to call off our missiles." He snarled.

All three clearly heard the boom of a missile hitting and then nothing but static.

Mr. Incredible's head dropped to his chest, his world was gone. His wife and kids perished at the hands of this madman, a madman he helped to create by rejecting him so many years ago.

Mirage was astounded; she knew Sydrome was ruthless, that ruthlessness was part of his attraction to her. But she knew from the sound of that woman's voice that she wasn't lying about kids being on board. She wanted no part of what Syndrome was doing now.

Mr. Incredible was in anguish, he wanted to strike out at the ones that had destroyed his family. Mirage was standing right in front of him where she had stopped when Syndrome had stopped her. The anger in Mr. Incredible gave him strength even he didn't know he had and he was able to move the energy bonds enough to grab Mirage and lift her up off the floor.

"Let me go or I will crush her." he said menacingly.

"Oh I don't think so, that's a little dark for you." Syndrome grinned.

"It will be easy liking breaking a toothpick." Mr. Incredible snarled.

"Show me" Syndrome said.

Mr. Incredible couldn't do it, his strength suddenly drained from him he let her fall as his arms snapped back to their stretched out position.

Syndrome went out laughing. "You're weak old man."

Mirage picking herself up off the floor followed but looking back at Mr. Incredible and then at the strutting Syndrome knew that her allegiance was quickly changing but she had to be very careful.

Helen and the kids were blown out of the plane, the shock of the blast momentarily knocking Helen out. The short time she was out she relaxed her hold on the kids and they fell from her arms both screaming at the top of their lungs. She shook her head took in the situation and pulled both kids back into her arms where she wrapped them around like a harness and made her body into a parachute.

They hit the water and she spent a few minutes calming them down then pointed to the evaporating vapor trails of the missiles. "Those were land based missiles and they came from over that way, that's where we're going".

"You mean you want to go where people are shooting at us." Dash was astounded.

"There is land there and we need to get to it." She explained.

"How are we going to get there?" Violet wanted to know.

Helen thought for a second then soon they were skimming along the ocean with her shaped like a rubber raft and Dash hanging off her back his legs kicking at tremendous speed, Violet was seated in the raft safe and dry.

It was twilight when they reached the shore of an Island. Helen was exhausted from holding her shape for so long and Dash was tired from his efforts to propel them. They came ashore in a little cove and Helen found a cave in the cliff wall before them. She ushered them inside and gathered some firewood, it took a little effort but they finally got a fire started. She looked around then turned to Violet "Ok you're in charge, stay inside until I come back don't go outside for anything."

"Where're you going?" Violet asked.

"How come she's always in charge?" Dash whined.

"Because I said so and if either one of you give me any grief I swear I will ground you for a month." Helen said in her best mother means business voice. "I'm going to find your dad, now stay here."

By now it was dark and she climbed to the top of the cliff, it would have been impossible for an ordinary person but she could reach hand and footholds no matter how far apart they were. Once on top she climbed the tallest tree she could find and by stretching herself even higher she could see lights off in the distance.

She headed that way and came upon the monorail system; she was following it when she saw the light of an approaching car. Stretching her arms she grabbed on to the car and swung herself up and rode the top until it entered the entrance to a vast complex. She dropped off and eased forward picking up a walking guard she followed him and when he used a card pass to go through a door she followed him but had to stop when he carded another gate. Unfortunately the door she was standing in closed and her leg was caught in it, she made it as thin as possible but it still held her tight. The guard went through another door and she stretched forward to catch him but the door closed before she could get fully in, only her arm made it through.

She was stretched across the aisle way and looking both ways hoped nobody would come along. The guard turned and saw a red and black clad arm sticking out of the door and waving around, the hand came into contact with his head and he was so stunned at seeing this disembodied arm that he just stood there. Elasti Girl feeling the contours of his face suddenly socked him hard on the jaw knocking him out. Feeling around she found his key card and opened the door to let her arm out then opened the other to free her leg. She carried the guard along until she found a safe place to store him and tied him up using part of his uniform and gagging him with his sock.

She found the control room and climbed to the ceiling among the metal rafters, she eased her head down to see the screens the two on duty personnel were monitoring. She saw a section called security and noted it looked like several cell blocks with a lobby leading to them. Now she had a direction she just had to make her way there without being seen. It had taken her a long time to get where she was and she knew she had to go slow. She wondered how the kids were doing.

They had sat around the fire until they were dry then Dash got fidgety, he paced back and forth, he went to the entrance of the cave only to be called back by Violet "You know what mom said now get back in here."

"Alright alright" he replied grumpily. He picked up a nicely burning piece of firewood, "I won't go out of this cave but I'm going to see how far it goes." He stomped off into the darkness. He went quite a distance then suddenly the cave went from being natural to a man made rounded tunnel. "Cool" he thought "wonder what this is?"

Syndrome was in the control room as the countdown neared zero, he watched the rocket fire and start to rise on the bright column of flame.

Dash had only taken a step or two into the tunnel when he saw the bright light way off in the distance, he knew immediately it didn't mean anything good. He tore off at his highest speed back the way he came, He was screaming as he entered the part were Violet was still sitting. "Come on we have to get out of here." he shouted.

"What have you done"? She cried.

He didn't have time to explain, he grabbed her arm and pulled her along to the entrance and quickly jumped to the left just before the super heated flame shot out in a roaring mass.

They had fallen to the jungle floor and heard the rumbling in the distance; they saw the flame of a rocket as it rose above the jungle and sped off into the night. Both were scared and moved away from the cave but had no idea where they were at. Finally they sat huddled together under a tree and exhausted finally fell asleep.

It was morning when they woke, Dash woke first to find himself curled around his sister, he jumped back quickly, didn't want anyone especially her to know he really cared for her. He heard a voice in a nearby tree

"Please identify yourself." It looked like a parrot sitting on a limb.

Dash woke Violet "Look a talking bird." She sat up and shook her head looking to where Dash was pointing.

"Identification required" the parrot said again.

"What's he mean." Violet asked Dash. He just shrugged, he hadn't a clue.

"Voice identification failure, Voice identification failure" the parrot screamed then his beak opened and a klaxon started sounding.

Immediately an alert was sounded in the compound and a dozen security men mounted armed flying discs and headed for the indicated area.

"I don't like the sound of this let's get out of here." Violet cried pulling at Dash's arm, before they could move they were surrounded by security, all of them pointing a weapon at the two.

"Who are you, identify yourselves" one of the men ordered.

"Dash, remember what mom said" Violet whispered

Dash was scared and it too a moment for what she said to Register "What"

"Run, remember mom said if you get into trouble run as fast as you can." She whispered.

He thought for a moment then he smiled "Right." and with that he was a blur that disappeared.

Every mans' attention was caught by that flash of red and Violet took advantage to disappear and move between two of the security men.

The leader shouted "Whaaa... they're supers" he pointed "After him" and they all remounted to chase Dash while he stayed to find Violet.

The chase was on and Dash couldn't run as fast as he could because of the dense jungle but he was still staying ahead of the discs.

Violet was trying to maneuver around the remaining man but it was hard trying not to leave any footprints for him to see, He kept demanding she show herself, "yeah sure" she thought "that would be really smart".

Mr. Incredible was hanging in the energy fields trying to figure a way out when all of a sudden he was released and fell to the floor, he saw the shapely legs of Mirage standing in front of him and suddenly his big hands were around her neck and she was lifted off the floor.

She could see the wild anguished look on his face and knew she could be in real trouble. "Please let me down" she could just barely manage to speak.

"Why, you've taken everything from me, I have nothing to lose." He snarled.

"I want to help you." she gasped.

"Why should I believe you." he replied

"Your family made it, they are alive." She managed hoarsely as he continued to throttle her.

Her words sank in and he dropped her to lie gasping for breath on the floor. "Security is trying to apprehend them now."

So maybe she's telling the truth, he had to hope so and with that hope his spirits soared. He grabbed her up off the floor hugged her in joy.

Mirage in the embrace of the powerful arms felt good she put her arms around him and laid her head on his chest. At that moment the door slid open and both looked to see who it was, both were very surprised.

"Helen" Mr. Incredible gasped then looked down to see Mirage in his arms; he quickly moved her back away from him.

Mirage tried to explain "I was" that was as far as she got when Elasti Girl's extended fist slammed into her jaw and knocked her out. Mr. Incredible grabbed the black clad fist before it could withdraw to Elasti Girl who was still standing in the door.

"She was rescuing me." He said

'That's my job" she angrily replied, "now let go of my hand".

Mr. Incredible had a wide smile on his face as he started reeling her in by the arm.

"I come in her to find you in the arms of that bimbo" but her tirade was cut off by the fierce intense kiss Mr. Incredible laid on her. At first she resisted then she couldn't, she loved him to much.

When he let her go they both quickly realized they had things to do before a happy reunion.

"Where are the kids." he asked.

"I left them in a cave." she said.

Mirage was coming around now and holding her jaw. "They are after the children in sector four."

The two supers headed out immediately with Mr. Incredible turning and giving her a quick thanks and a smile.

As they headed out Mr. Incredible was scolding his wife. "Why did you bring the kids anyway?"

She replied once again angry "I didn't bring them they stowed away and I don't think you're showing the proper attitude here."

Dash had led the discs a merry chase and had in some way or other destroyed four or five of them. He headed back to where he had left Violet.

Violet had managed to sneak up on the guard and with a dead branch managed to hit him several times but although she had hurt him he started firing all around himself and she had to move away. She eased into a stream but he saw the ripples and started firing. He picked up some dirt and threw it upstream and watched it wash down, when it was stopped by her body he gave an evil grin and aimed his weapon.

Before he could fire a blur shot past and knocked his weapon up, Dash came back and jumped on the guard and started pummeling him, a lucky punch by the guard knocked him back and dazed him.

The guard picked up his weapon and fired at Dash, There was a shimmering force field around Dash and the bullets just bounced off. Violet was hanging perpendicular above his head the field making a circle around her big enough to hold the both of them.

"How are you doing that?" Dash hollered.

"I don't know" Violet answered slightly puzzled.

"Well keep it up." he said and with that he started running and making the round force field move like a hamster in a wheel.

Nothing the security guards could do would penetrate the force field. They had gotten far ahead of the security when they ran over something and it took them a moment to realize it was their parents. Violet instantly dropped the force field and there was a joyous reunion but it only lasted for few seconds before the security discs arrived.

The four supers had wiped out almost all the discs when they were caught in zero energy beams. The left hand of Syndrome was holding Mr. Incredible and Elasti Girl, his right hand shooting out a beam that was holding Dash and Violet. "Whoa, hold on here, what's going on, a family of supers." He looked to his left, "Elasti Girl, you married Elasti Girl, alright." and then he turned to the kids. "And you got busy, that must be some good stuff." He had some portable energy bonds brought in and all four were shackled and taken to the compound. Mr. Incredible and the kids were put in the same cell, the big master cell; Elasti Girl was taken to an individual cell.

She had been in there a few minutes when Syndrome strutted in. "Well Well the famous Elasti Girl, you were one hot babe back in the day; I spent many a night as a teen jacking off to your image. And look at you now, just as hot as you ever were." He walked around her "That big ass just makes you that much more sexy."

Elasti Girl had tried her bonds, she couldn't stretch any, the zero energy fields had negated her power.

Syndrome pushed a button on the control panel and the view screen showed the main cell where her husband and kids were being held. "You want to see them survive; I have a proposition for you. You're going to fuck me or", he panned the camera to all four walls of the big cell, There were laser weapons pointed at the three prisoners. "I will have them fried." He strutted up before Elasti Girl "So what do you say?"

You're the most despicable thing I have ever seen, be glad I'm restrained." she snarled.

It didn't faze him; he knew he had the upper hand. "Yeah yeah, just yes or no." His finger was poised over a button she knew would fire the lasers.

She knew she had no choice; maybe she could get free somehow if she could distract him. "Yes." she sighed.

"Ah now that's the spirit, why I bet you will even like it." He gave her an evil grin. "Now here's the rules. This cell is sealed and it's being monitored, yeah Joe is into that voyeurism thing and I let him watch every once in a while. Now I am going to let you out of the bonds but you try anything at all and he makes crispy critters out of your family. Yeah I know you could think about holding me hostage but if you even try it your family dies. So I will take your word you won't try anything."

Elasti Girl was thinking furiously but she couldn't see any way out, even if she killed him her family would die. She had already seen enough of his twisted logic to know he didn't worry about what she could do to him; he knew she wouldn't jeopardize her kids.

"Alright you have my word. But you keep that view up; I want to know they are alright the whole time."

"Well okay then." Syndrome pressed the intercom to talk to Joe. "If she tries anything you know what to do." This last was said as he looked directly at her, he wanted to make one last statement that her family's welfare depended on her cooperation. He turned off the energy bonds and she slumped the floor.

He stood before her with spread legs, before putting his hands on his hips he pressed his thumb to the release button on his belt. His uniform came unfastened from neck to crotch just falling slightly open.
