Helen sat at the table, her eyes red from crying, blowing her nose into a crumpled piece of toilet paper that E handed her with a look of mild disgust. The morning paper lay partially read, and a pot of coffee had been brewed and partially consumed.

"I am such an idiot. I let this happen, you know. The new sports car, the getting in shape, the blond hair, the lies."

"Yes, he attempts to relive the past."

"Now I'm losing him! What'll I do? What'll I do?" Helen sobbed.

E suddenly leaped onto the table, grabbing the rolled-up newspaper.

YOU ARE ELASTIGIRL! My God! Pull yourself together!"  Edna shouted while smacking Helen with the newspaper.

"What will you do? Is that even a question? You will remind him that he is Mr. Incredible, and you will show him who YOU are. You know where he is. Go. Confront the problem! FIGHT! WIN!" Edna motivated, and immediately calmed down

"And call me when you get back, darling. I enjoy our visits." Edna said pleasantly.

Readying to leave, Helen talks to Vinson and (Y/n) as they walktoward Helen's bedroom. 

"There's lots of leftovers you can reheat.Make sure Dash does his homework and bothof you get to bed on time. I should beback tonight, late. Y/N, you can help Vinson with any tasks he needs assistance with. I should be back tonight, late. You can both handle things while I'm gone, right?." 

"Yeah... but why am I in charge again?" Vinson asked, confused. 

Helen pauses outside her bedroom door.

"You mean Dad's in trouble? Or... Dad is the trouble?" Vinson asked concern.

"Nothing. Just a little trouble with Daddy."

"I mean, either he's in trouble or he's going to be." Helen said darkly as she enters her room.

Helen looks at her open travel bag, then at the suits E made. She sighs, decides to pack her supersuit. Then she sees Dash staring at the matching bright red outfits.

"Hey, what's THAT? Where'd you get that, Mom?" Dashed asked excitedly

Mom stretches to slam the door closed. Immediately, Dash is outside the sliding window, looking in.

"You made a cool outfit? Hey, are those for us?? We all get cool outfits?" Dash yells, curious about the suits.

Helen stretches to pull the blinds, briefly taking her hand off the doorknob. Dash zooms back through the door, nabs his outfit, and is gone. Helen calls after him.

"Dash, get back here this instant!"

The phone rings, Helen anticipating the call. She answers quickly.

"Hey, Snug. Thanks for getting back. I know this is short notice, but I was hoping that I could get you to..."

 Vinson and (Y/n) stroll in, catching wind of the commotion. Seeing the suits on the bed, Vinson picking up his and (Y/n) suits.

"What are these?" Vinson asked confused.

Dash runs back into the room with his supersuit on, and runs towards the mirror to see his reflection. 

"Look, I'm The Dash! The Dash likes."

"Just a moment" Helen says to Snug on the phone. 

"Take that off, before somebody sees you." Helen said seriously to Dash as she grabs both Vinsons and (Y/n)
