The Incredibles Fanfiction

Bob Parr is a happy man. After living as a civilian for years, he is ecstatic to be able to put on the mask and costume again and relive his life as Mr. Incredible. Fighting crime, and the public adoration that comes with being a crime fighter, has made him feel 20 years younger. It has helped to strengthen his marriage with Helen, otherwise known as Elastigirl. Once reluctant to return to a life of fighting crime, Elastigirl now rejoins Mr. Incredible as the world’s most famous superhero couple. They are now joined in their crime fighting escapades by their daughter 14 year old daughter Violet, and their 9 year old son Dash. The icing on the cake for Bob is the discovery of their baby son Jack-Jack’s incredible powers. Yes, Bob Parr is a happy man. ‘Can it get any better than this?’ Bob often wondered.

Jack-Jack breaks into tears, waking up Bob and Helen.

“What’s wrong with that kid of yours?” grumbled Bob as Jack-Jack continued to cry and scream.

“Maybe he’s hungry Bob. Why don’t you go check?”

Bob reluctantly gets out of bed and walks towards Jack-Jack’s crib. “What’s the problem now kid?” Jack-Jack continues to cry as Bob hands him a milk bottle. He throws it back at Bob, screaming and kicking. “Honey I think you better deal with this one.”

Helen crawls out of bed and makes her way to the crib. “Okay settle down now, mummy’s here.” She reaches into the crib and picks the baby up.

“Rarrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!!!!!” Jack-Jack lets out a loud growl and bursts into flames, forcing Helen to let go. “Jack-Jack! What’s gotten into you?” Jack-Jack lets out another roar, and transforms into a fire monster. He starts to run round the room, then crashes through the wall and runs away. Shocked, both Helen and Bob peered through the giant hole in the wall left by Jack-Jack, and watched as he zips round the neighbourhood screaming and growling, with flames emitting from his body.

“I’ll get him dad!” shouted Dash, who was outside the house and witnessed his little brother crashing through the bedroom. Dash chases after him, running at full capacity of his superhuman speed. He chases him through the busy streets, narrowly avoiding pedestrians and vehicles. But even with his superhuman speed, he failed to catch his brother who was surprisingly faster as him. He could only watch as Jack-Jack disappeared into the horizon.

Dash quickly returned to the house, only to find his parents and his sister Violet all dressed in their superhero costumes. Bob’s friend Lucius was also present, dressed in the costume of his alter ego Frozone.

“Sorry dad I couldn’t catch him. He was too fast for me?”

“Wow faster than you? Don’t worry Dash. Get into your costume; we can’t let anyone see you like this.”

“How are we supposed to find him?” Violet asked Helen.

“I don’t know sweetie. Something’s wrong with Jack-Jack. His power’s are out of control. And..”

“And there’s only one way to stop him my dear.” In walked Edna Mode, the brilliant scientist and famous designer of all their superhero costumes. “This has happened before.”

Bob was puzzled “What do you mean?”

“Your son has been blessed with extraordinary powers. In fact, your son’s powers are so rare and powerful that there have only been two other people who had similar powers that we know off.”

“But why is it going out of control?”

“No one is entirely sure why dear. It is said that when a fire demon like your son senses the presence of another one, he will be unable to control his powers and will be unable to turn back into a human unless one of them disappears. But there is another way..”
Edna pulls out a small test tube filled with bright blue liquid. “We always knew this might happen again. So we created this anecdote many years ago. One sip of this will strip your son of all his powers”

“Woman, are you mad!? No way would I take my son’s powers away from him! Over my dead..”

“Look dad!” shouted Dash, pointing towards the TV. “It’s Jack-Jack!”

The family looked in disbelief as they watched a live news report in the Morning News off Jack-Jack, covered in flames, running around the city centre and terrifying civilians.

“Oh boy that don’t look too god” Frozone deadpanned.

“Let’s get our Jack-Jack back! Incredibles away!!” Bob grabbed the test tube as the Incredibles with Frozone rushed out the door.

They arrived in the city, only to find it in chaos. People were running around in panic, some with their clothes on fire. Some were even running around with their hair set alight. There were burnt cars and broken trees, shattered windows and bent lampposts.

“There he is!” Elastigirl pointed to the top of a tall skyscraper. At the very top was Jack-Jack, in monster form, climbing. Elastigirl used her superpowers and stretched both arms towards Jack-Jack. But before she could get close to him, he shoots her outstretched hands with beams from his eyes.

“Don’t worry I’ll get him!” Frozone rushes to the top of the building only to be smacked down by Jack-Jack as sent crashing to the ground.

Bob looked on in horror. He had a decision to make. He could try grab his baby back, but it doesn’t appear to be working. His only option left was to use the anecdote. Taking his son’s powers away was one of the hardest thing he had to do. But he had no choice. And he had a plan.
He climbed towards Jack-Jack, who let out a growl as he approached nearer. He waves the test tube in front of Jack-Jack. “Look what daddy got for you Jack-Jack! Yummy! Come here boy.”

“Rarrrr!!!” Jack-Jack roared again, flames coming out his mouth.

“It’s okay boy. Daddy got a yummy treat for you…NOW!”

Suddenly Violet, who was invisible the whole time, appears behind Jack-Jack and grabs him. Bob then rushes to pour the anecdote into his wide open mouth. Jack-Jack reluctantly swallows, and then stays silent.

“Is it working, dad?

Frozone, who was knocked unconscious for a few minutes, rushed back towards them. “Don’t worry guys I’m coming!”

BOOM. Jack-Jack lets out a gigantic burp, releasing a giant mushroom cloud of flames that sends Frozone along with Bob and Violet flying through the air and crashing to the group.

Bob opens his eyes as the dust settled. He turns to his left to find Violet and Frozone lying on the ground next to him. “Is everyone alright?” He gets up and dusts himself “Jack-Jack!” He screamed in panic and rushes back to the building.

There he find Elastigirl, sitting on a park bench. In her arms was Jack-Jack, back in human form, and sound asleep.

“Everything’s alright honey…we got our Jack-Jack back.”

A week has passed since that crazy day and life was back to normal. Violet and Dash were away at school. Frozone was back out fighting crime. Bob sat in front of the TV as he looked back at the past events. It was a hard thing to do, taking Jack-Jack’s powers away from him. But he was happier about getting him back, and protecting his family. But he wondered about Edna’s words. She said that the only way for Jack-Jack to lose control of his powers is when he senses the presence of another fire demon like him. “But who can that be?” he thought to himself. “I don’t think there’s another one like him around.”

Helen walks into the room.

“Bob, I’ve got something to tell you.”

“Whats on your mind honey?”

Helen sat down next to him.

“I’m 4 weeks pregnant!”
