The Void 2 (A New World) (Patreon)

(Helen's POV)

It's been 3 weeks since superheroes were legalized again and everything was starting to get better. Crime has gone down, people feel safe, Evelyn A.K.A. screenslaver is behind bars, Edna is focusing on her work, and Jack-Jack's powers were still wild, but we know how to deal with each problem. My family is back on track and happy... Right now, I was in the middle of bringing down a gang hideout and used stealth to pick these members off one at a time then call the police to haul them off to jail. There have been so many complaints about them and when drugs and firearms were discovered, they called me. There is only one guy left and he was sleeping on the couch or just out of it, but I figured out which one it was when I tried to quickly tie him up.

Helen-Junkies.

I contacted the police and waited for them inside the hideout. They opened the doors that I unlocked for them to get in and went for the members that I tied up while the police chief came up to me.

Chief-Excellent work. Not a single gunshot was heard.

Helen-Just doing my job. I should be heading home to my family.

Chief-Go ahead, we got it from h-.

Just then, we felt the ground shake a little. There was no basement to anything under this building and they had no resources to make a tunnel, so it could not have been a small bomb. From the way it felt...

Helen-Maybe it was just a minor tremor.

Chief-Search the area for anything that might look like a secret room! Everyone!

I sighed on the inside, but it could not be helped. We had to make sure that there is nothing else going on here. We ended up feeling the ground shake a couple more times before it got really bad.

Helen-EARTHQUACK!!! GET TO COVER!!!

Junk and debris fell from the ceiling and everyone ran for cover. I got under a desk until it stopped. We all came out when things settled and it looks like everyone was alright.

Helen-Alright,... just an earthquake. No bombs.

I just went outside to get on my superbike to head home. On the way home, I felt another earthquake that almost made me crash. I tried to stop and keep steady until a hole appeared in the middle of the room and there was a light coming from it. It was too late to stop, so I jumped off my bike and let it fall while I landed.

Helen-What the?!

I looked at the hole more closely and saw something Like T.V. static in it. Someone or a machine had to be doing this and probably nearby. Maybe underground, due to that earthquake probably not being an earthquake.

Helen-Bob, kids!

I was far away from home, so I will never make it in time, but Bob will get called out too if this affects the whole city. I just got some higher ground on a light pole then noticed more holes around the higher. This has to be a new villain. Suddenly, a hole opened up under me and made the light pole fall, but I got off just in time. I started to make a run for it and tried to stay clear of holes, but they were getting bigger and bigger. I tried contacting the police, but they beat me to it when I heard them on the comms.

Cop-Elasticgirl, we have 10-999, officers down! They... They fell into some kind of hole!

Helen's mind-This is crazy!

I had to try to get back to them and maybe even get into a car. By the time I made it back... there was only a big hole filled with static and the other holes were getting bigger. I tried calling home, and when someone answered the phone...

Dash-Mom!

Helen-Dash, is everything ok?! Where are your brother and sister?! Is your dad ok?!

Dash-There's holes opening around the house and inside! I can't find them and I can't leave!

Helen-Just stay there and-!

Helen-Dash?!... Dash are you there?!... If you can hear me, just try and get to safety! I'm coming!

My heart raced as I just did the only thing I could do... I had to get home on foot. On the way, I fell into a hole, but grabbed an edge. When I pulled myself up a little, it broke off in what looked like pixels and glitches. I tried to reach again, but it only broke off again and again until I saw my arms turning in glitches and pixels too.

Helen's mind-No, no, no, no! You can't fail! Dash is in trouble and your family and so many others need you!

I started to blackout... Not from any pain, but just feeling so tired.

Helen's mind-Dash, Violet, Jack-Jack, Bob... Just hold on, I'll be there-.

*CANCELLED*

(Timeskip 5 Years)

((Y/N)'s POV) Age: 6

My dad and his friends were drinking outside by the pool and I saw the workers cleaning up during their party. I had my hiding spot ready for when his 'hangover' starts and he gets mad very easily and quickly if I make a sound he can hear. The last time he yelled at me so loud, my ears rang and I cried while trying to say sorry. He punched a doorframe and hurt his hand a little then blamed me. Workers got him to settle down, but I still went to my hiding spot after that time. I went to the bathroom in my room to go before I can't later then went to get some food from the pantry to snack on, like fruit snacks and granola bars. Suddenly I was grabbed and I looked to see it was my daddy and he looked happy and dizzy while holding a bottle of 'fire water'.

Daddy-(YYYYY/NNNN)! There's my *hic* boy! Why aren't you ou- *hic* haaaaavvvving fun?! Music is roaring, we are in a mansion in the hills-!... Wait, did I mix it up?... I-I don't know or care.

(Y/N)-D-Daddy, I-I-I have h-homework on my computer.

Daddy-*Wheezing* No you don't. Come on, come out and join the party!

He pushed me outside and I looked down a little when I saw 4 of my dad's friends dancing weirdly to some music. Daddy always want me to join the parties he has with his friends, but I just don't like them or what happens after the staff leaves and he wakes up... I'm scared about telling other people and daddy says that it's not a big deal anyway. It's not like he hits me and I have hiding places in almost all 9 bedrooms and 4 other rooms of this house. In the garage, I can hide in the private gym, the living room is a bad place to be, outside is also bad because he likes it by the pool and stuff, his man cave is bad, and my room is bad, but has a little door in my closet that I keep covered up, and the bathrooms are a bad place to hide. Other places are ok for a bit, but I keep on moving until daddy goes to sleep if he gets mad. Just then my daddy leaned on me to whisper something and his breath smelt bad with all that juice and stuff, but his fat body also felt sweaty.

Daddy-*Psssst* My friends and I are gonna go meet some girls at a club tonight. It'll just be you for the night... *chuckle* Don't tell the workers or grandpa. *whisper*

(Y/N)-O-Ok... What time will you be ba-?

Daddy-Awesome. Order some pizza or whatever to be delivered!

He yelled in my ear and it hurt a little before h lost his balance and fell into the pool. His friends laughed at him when he came up and they saw right threw his shirt, so he looked mad at me.

Daddy-Did you push me in?!

(Y/N)-N-N-No!

Daddy-You little fucker, I should-!

Worker-Sir, please calm down!

A worker got in the middle of us and I heard my daddy still yelling at me when I ran away to go to my room. They know how to stop him, so I should be ok for a while to just cry in my room. Soon after...

*Knock*

*Knock*

*POUND*

*THUD*

I looked at my door and it did not open, but I knew who it was when it sounded like they fell.

Daddy-Hey buddy, *burp* *gag* s-sorry that I blew up like that. Y-Y-You're a good kid. *hic* I-I always wanted a kiiiiid like you. Y-You're a real trooper out in that field of life, you know.

(Y/N)-*Sniffle* I know.

That was a lie. The 3 weeks at school that I didn't do online and he pulled me out, so he could get a ride to go drink more was just me being bullied. My dad just kept on talking, but I just ignored him, and said, 'yes' to everything he said.

Daddy-Have a good night. I'll be back tomorrow and we'll go to... um... What was that place?... Disney World! Yeah, that's it!

I think he forgot that he wasn't allowed there anymore for almost ripping a woman's clothes off for ignoring him, so someone else will have to take me. He didn't like to be ignored at all and wants someone to say 'yes' to him and make him happy. I didn't want to go anyway...

(Y/N)'s mind-Please, just leave me alone!

I just went under my bed to hide and held my stuffed animal until I was sure he was gone. I heard my door open and started to shake until the skirt of my bed got lifted and it was just a worker... I calmed down a little, but I still didn't want to be around everyone.

Worker-Hey, we're gonna head home for the day. Anything you need before it's just you and your dad?

(Y/N)-N-No.

Worker-Your dad seemed to have calmed down. It should be safe to come out now.

I just held my stuffed bunny closer and shook my head no to him and he just closed his eyes for a bit.

Worker-*Sigh*... Have a good night and remember to try and use that mic, and play online at least... Baby steps, just like grandpa told you.

(Y/N)-O-Ok.

I didn't like to play video games online or that much at all. I have to hide from my dad and keep an eye out to know when I have to or I just can't rest. When he closed my door, I just lied under my bed until I heard my dad leave and I know that because the music stopped and everything was quiet so quickly after a party. I stayed under my bed to hold my bunny a little more before I came out. I opened my door and...

(Y/N)-Daddy?... Is anybody here?

...

Nothing. I went back into my room and went on my bed and then felt like I sat on something. I got up and looked to see a USB plug on my bed.

I guess that worker left me this to try and make me feel better. I just went to my 70-inch T.V. to plug it in then got my remote to see what was on it. When I got on the channel, I just saw a bunch of shows and movies.

(Y/N)'s mind-Thanks, but I'm just gonna get a few hiding spots ready in case my daddy comes home early.

(No POV)

(Y/N) left his room and went to the bathroom first to look at himself in the mirror. He looked at his (H/L) (H/C) hair, and (E/C) eyes with tear stains on them. He wiped them off before he went to check his hiding spots to make sure they had small snacks and water bottles. His best spot was in the basement behind a big vent with no screws on it. There was nothing in there, so it was a panic room to hide in. I had a few small lights, a sleeping bag, and a few small vents. While he took the trash of out there, his T.V. did something back in his room.

*Spark*

(Timeskip To Night)

((Y/N)'s POV)

I just finished the (F/F) I ordered for dinner and had some candy for dessert before I went to my room. I turned on my nightlights before I turned off the ceiling fan and watched some cartoons I had, but not on the USB. I started to feel bad because I wasn't using the present I got, so I went on the USB to try and find something. I saw a few things that I liked and when I clicked on "The Incredibles 2" it showed me the details of the movie. My favorite character is the baby Jack-Jack in his own little movie clip. I wanted to watch the movie, but I felt a little tired.

(Y/N)'s mind-Maybe in the morning.

I just put the remote next to me and closed my eyes to go to sleep.

(Timeskip 1 Hour)

(No POV)

(Y/N) was now sound asleep... And by sound, I mean tossing and turning in his sleep in distress from having a nightmare. The poor boy tended to have a lot of those, mainly about his dad and friends being angry. He rolled over on the remote and clicked the "OK" button to start the movie. The screen glitched a few times before it turned very bright and full of T.V. static.

Helen's mind--as soon as I can.

The light was not enough to wake up the already scared child, but someone entered the room and floated in the air. When the T.V. turned off...

*Thud*

(Timeskip To Morning)

(Helen's POV)

*Cough*

*Cough*

*Cough*

I groaned from having such a headache and my vision was blurry. I felt around for my surroundings and felt a bed, wooden floor, a dresser, a chair, and when my vision cleared up... Everything looked weird. I remember those holes and got up as fast as I could to look at a door.

Helen's mind-Where am I?

I have to find the others, so I went to the door. I did expect it to be locked and for this to be a cell of some kind, but it was unlocked. I checked the hallway to see nobody before I checked this place out. The texture of everything just looked so odd and then I found a bathroom. I thought I just had to splash cold water into my face to set things straight. I dared not look at anything else when I went to the sink and turned on the water. The cold water did feel refreshing a little, but when I looked up...

Helen-AAAAHHHHHH!!!

((Y/N)'s POV)

I jumped a little when I heard screaming then looked around to see my door was opened. I know my door was closed last night. I always close it. I wondered if this was another nightmare, so I just stayed in bed and waited for something to happen. If I listen closely, I could hear noises outside then thought if my daddy came home and was in a bad mood or maybe he was in a good mood...

(Y/N)-Daddy?!

I slowly got out of bed and went into the hallway then saw someone looking at me.

I froze and stared at the lady in the costume while she stared at me, so I hid behind my door frame a little. When she took a step back, I could finally move and...

(Y/N)-AAAAAAHHHHHHHH!!!

I closed my door and jumped on my bed to hide under my blankets! The workers said we have one of the best security things in the world, so how did she get in without the alarms going off?! This has to be another nightmare!

(Y/N)'s mind-Wake up, please wake up!

When that failed, the next thing to do was to pinch myself to see if that works... I felt it... I WAS AWAKE!!!

(Helen's POV)

That kid seemed to match how everything else looks around here and he had to be linked to what brought me to wherever 'here' is. I went up to his door and was about to open it before I heard crying from the other side.

???-*Sobbing* *hic* *hic* *sobbing*!

I opened the door and saw him on the bed, under the blankets. I must've missed him when I focused on the door and getting out of here. He might not know what's going on either and think a stranger just invaded his home... intentionally. What's odd is that neither of his parents nor anyone came when he screamed. I need to focus on what's in front of me and it starts with calming him down, so he could talk.

Helen-Hey kid, it's ok. I'm not here to hurt you... I'm the superhero Elastigirl.

I slowly sat on the side of his bed and tried to comfort him, but gently touching him only made him flench. He also stopped crying, but that was no doubt forced to keep himself quiet.

Helen-No, no... It's ok.

I slowly pulled the blanket out from over her and he looked at me with tears in his eyes. I made sure to not make any sudden movements to scare him. His (H/L) (H/C) looked a little greasy, and his (E/C) was starting to look a little pink and puffy. I started to slowly rub his head and he finally calmed down to where he truly stopped crying, but was still skeptical.

Helen-See, I'm nice... What's your name?

???-... (Y-Y/N)... Are you really... Mrs. Incredible?

Helen-Well, I go by that too.

???-... H-... Helen?

Helen-... How do you know my name?

Now, it's my turn to be skeptical and wonder if he knew about those holes. The new look on my face made him shrink back a little. He closed his eyes and looked like he was telling himself something and soon said it under his breath. It was hard to hear at first, but I listened close and when he started to pinch himself, he got a tab bit louder.

(Y/N)-It's not real, it's just a dream. It's not real, it's just a dream. It's not real, it's just a dream. *whisper*

Helen's mind-He doesn't think I'm real? He knows my second superhero name and my real name... Why wouldn't he think I'm not real after that?

I got his attention back on me and he was on the verge of crying again, so I got him to stop pinching and hurting himself.

Helen-Listen, I really am here. I need some help and maybe you can help me... I'm looking for my family... Please, you might be the only lead I have right now.

He still didn't look stable enough to talk, so I tried something. He knew my real identity, so there was no harm in taking off my mask to put it on his face. This gave him a bit more confidence, but I might be trying to do this too fast for him.

Helen-How about a question game? If it's too hard, just say 'pass' and we'll move on to the next question. Sound good?

He only nodded his head and fixed the mask a little before I thought of some small question.

Helen-Ok... Is this your home?

(Y/N)-Y-Yes.

Helen-Can you tell me where it is? The address.

(Y/N)-Um... I know we a-are in the mountains... We don't have neighbors or street signs.

Helen-Is there an adult here that I can talk to about that?

(Y/N)-Well... M-My daddy left me here alone last night, but he'll be back today.

He's here all alone?! That explains why nobody came to check on him and if I were a real home invader and broke in, the police wouldn't get here in time to help him most likely! This is completely irresponsible!

Helen-How old are you?

He held up 6 fingers. I felt enraged his father would leave him alone like this overnight. He can expect a talk about this from me or CPS when I'm done here. For now, I need to get back on track.

Helen-Ok... I know you don't know how I got here and I can see you are scared, but... How do you know my name?

(Y/N)-... Um... *mumbling*.

Helen-What? Speak up a little more.

(Y/N)-Th-The movie.

Helen-Movie? I was never in a movie.

Either that there was a movie about Elastigirl that missed or-... No, that still doesn't explain how he knows my real name. He has to be lying now, but just in case...

Helen-Can you show me the movie?

He looked scared, but looked for the remote in his bed before he turned on the T.V. and went to a screen that had all sorts of shows and movies that I have ever seen before. He went on 'Search' and looked up "The Incredibles" and there was even a second movie, "The Incredibles 2". My jaw dropped when I saw Bob on the first cover and me holding Jack-Jack on the second one... I looked like my old self.

Helen-What are those?

(Y/N)-The... Your movies.

Helen-(Y/N), this is not funny. Who put those up?!

(Y/N)-I d-don't know.

Helen-... Play the first one with my husband on it.

(No POV)

The day started with watching both of "The Incredibles" movies. (Y/N) left at times to get food, get in a shower, and stuff while Helen could not look away. She saw big moments in her life like her wedding day, how superheroes were made illegal, the whole thing with Syndrome, The Underminer, Evelyn, what she did while being hypnotized, and what others did in those moments too.

Helen-... It's all here... All of it.

She saw the company names that made these movies, and the names of the people that made the movie and she thought that she was going to be sick. She saw everything in front of her, but got mad while refusing to accept that her life and family were just for entertainment.

(Helen's POV)

This has to be a tactic! They didn't get 'everything', but just key parts. He has to be working for spies or something. I turned to him and he looked at me and saw that I was serious right now.

Helen-(Y/N), 'that' was caught by someone. Who gave this to you?

(Y/N)-A-A house cl-cleaner here, I think.

Helen-That was my whole life and there has to be more if there were cameras in my house and so many other places! I hope you know that 'none' of that is ok!

(Y/N)-I-I-.

Helen-Do you know about those holes that destroyed my town?!

I was too caught up in my own emotions to notice that I was making him terrified and started to curl up and cry. I could hear him trying to apologize, but failing to do it. His crying filled the room and I looked at the credits again then looked at myself. I felt like a train wreck and couldn't grasp anything until I bumped into the wall and then slid down. I finally started to give myself time to think and go over stuff.

(Timeskip 45 Minutes)

I finally calmed down, but I still didn't feel good about this whole... 'incident'. I did feel awful about yelling at (Y/N) like that earlier. I took a look around the room again and saw it was 9:00 AM when an alarm clock went off. I went over to turn it off and then noticed that (Y/N) was not on his bed anymore, but I did hear a sniffle. I got on my hands and knees to check under the bed. I lifted the skirt and saw him holding a stuffed bunny... He looked horrible after what I just said out of anger.

Helen-(Y/N)... I'm sorry I yelled at you. I was just... I'm confused and scared too, but that didn't make it right to snap at you like that.

(Y/N)-...

I just slowly got up and decided to explore the house some more since there was no point in going anywhere. I soon found the living room and turned on the T.V. to try and find a news channel, so if they report anything like me then I could know... I just need some rest before I even continue checking out the house. I just lied on the couch and thought about my family when I closed my eyes.

Helen-*Sniffle* *deep inhale* *exhale*.

Helen's mind-Dash, Violet, Jack-Jack, Bob... Please be alright.
