Beyond Super II (Male Violet x Reader)

Chapter 6: Mind Games

Bob opened the waffle maker and lifted out a perfectly cooked waffle, placing it on a plate in front of Vinson's spot at the counter. Vinson trudged down the stairs and slumped into his seat, clearly upset.

"Everything's just a mess," Vinson said flatly.

"Good morning," Bob replied, setting the plate down. "How's it going?"

Vinson poked at his waffle disinterestedly. "I messed up big time with (Y/n). Now she probably hates me."

Bob tried to offer some comfort. "Accidents happen. It's how you handle them that counts. You should talk to her, explain what happened."

Vinson looked up with a mix of frustration and resignation. "What if she doesn't want to listen? I made such a fool of myself."

Bob tried to reassure him. "It's worth a shot. People make mistakes, but that doesn't mean everything's over. If you care about her, you need to show that you're willing to fix things."

Vinson stood up abruptly, shaking his head. "Maybe it's better if I just give up. I don't know how to fix this."

He marched over to the sink, grabbing his supersuit and tossing it into the garbage disposal. "I renounce this suit! I renounce everything!" he shouted.

Bob rushed over, trying to intervene. "Vinson, wait!"

Vinson turned on the garbage disposal, and the suit's arms flailed around as it was shredded. He yanked the suit out, still intact despite the destruction, and threw it against the wall in exasperation.

"I renounce them!" Vinson exclaimed, storming back upstairs.

"Is he having adolescence?" Dash asked.

Helen sat in the car, flipping through the newspaper when she heard chanting outside the window. "What's going on, Tommy? A protest?" she asked the driver.

"They're here in support," Tommy answered.

"Support? Support of what?" Helen questioned, raising an eyebrow.

"In support of you," Tommy clarified.

Helen rolled down her window and waved at the crowd, a bit surprised. She noticed a little girl standing in front, holding a sign. "Hello. What's your sign say?" Helen asked with curiosity.

The girl turned her sign around, revealing the message: "Screenslaver is STILL out there."

Helen frowned, deep in thought as the car drove away.

A short while later, Helen entered Winston's office and saw him on the phone.

"Hello? Ellenwood. Oh, now you want to return my calls about superheroes, huh? Oh. I'll have to call you back. Oh, that felt good," Winston said, hanging up the phone with a satisfied grin. He looked up and noticed Elastigirl standing there.

"Hey! It's working!" Winston exclaimed enthusiastically. "The Ambassador made a big speech about superheroes today. Turns out saving someone's life makes a good impression on them. Who knew, huh? I'm getting calls from all over the world. Media awareness is up 72%. The push for superhero legalization is becoming a worldwide movement! I have big plans for our next move."

Winston led Helen to the window, where a massive boat was docked.

"We'll have a summit at sea," Winston explained. "We'll gather leaders and Supers from all over the world."

"That's great," Helen responded, her tone sharp. "I'm happy. I'm happy the numbers are up. I'm happy the Ambassador is pro-Superhero, and I'm happy you're happy."
