3rd Person POV:

A TV turned on and an image of Mr. Incredible trying to clip on his microphone came on. He was sitting in front of a camera for an interview.

"Is this thing on?" he said, tapping it.

"That's fine," the interviewer told him.

"I can break through walls, I just can't..." he commented, still trying to strap on the mic.

"That's fine," the interviewer reassured him.

"I can't get this on," he chuckled, and the interviewer decided to move on.

"So, Mr. Incredible...do you have a secret identity?" she asked.

"Every superhero has a secret identity. I don't know a single one who doesn't. Who wants the pressure of being super all the time?" he asked, as the screen changed to Elastigirl. She'd received the same question.

"Of course I have a secret identity. Can you see me in this at the supermarket?" she asked, referring to her outfit. "Come on. Who'd wanna go shopping as Elastigirl, y'know what I mean?" The video then cut to a different superhero who'd been talking about the same thing, Frozone.

"Super Ladies, they're always trying to tell you their secret identity. Think it'll strengthen the relationship or something like that. I said, "Girl, I don't want to know about your mild-mannered alter ego." or anything like that. I mean, you tell me you're a super-mega-ultra-lightning-babe, that's alright with me. I'm good. I'm good," he chuckled, before it cut back to Mr. Incredible.

No matter how many times you save the world, it always manages to get back in jeopardy again. Sometimes I just want it to STAY SAVED, you know? For a little bit. I feel like the maid. "I just cleaned up this mess! Can we keep it clean for ten minutes?!" he laughed, the interviewer chuckled.

"I could get to that point," she commented as Mr. Incredible stood up.

"Please?" he asked as he tried to leave. The interviewer objected, trying to get him to sit down.

"Wait, no, don't get up yet. We're not finished!" The camera turned off for a second before turning back on, Mr. Incredible was back in his chair going back to talking about simple lives.

"Sometimes I think I'd just like the simple life, you know? Relax a little and raise a family." He explained. The video footage then swapped back to Elastigirl, who was talking about the same thing.

"Settle down? Are you kidding? I'm at the top of my game! I'm right up there with the big dogs! Girls, come on. Leave the saving of the world to the men? I don't think so! I don't think so," she said, chuckling. As the video turned off.
