It was the middle of the night. Everyone was fast asleep in their dreamland. Moxxie and Millie were able to use their crystals to create a bed for Violet to sleep in, and Jack-Jack's crib was in the middle of the living room, and he was sound asleep. With Bob, he turns to the side where Helen was, he opens his eyes, and she wasn't there. Bob sits up, worried about her whereabouts, before looking out the window. There she was, sitting in one of the lounge chairs by the pool. Bob could tell that she was upset, so, quietly, he gets up, and heads out to see her. Helen looks up, and sees her husband walking up to her, saying "hey". "Hey" Helen says, before sighing. Bob sits down right next to his wife, and asks "you okay?" Helen then takes a breath and admits
"i guess-i guess i was just thinking, about what Moxxie said. Back on the island, and during the Omnidroid attack, it felt really good to be Elastigirl again, and people praised us like the old days...but, Moxxie's right. It's over" Bob puts a hand on her shoulder and says "honey, Dicker will come up with something" "Dicker's done Bob" Helen interrupts "Any hope we had about being Supers again is fantasy. One of us has gotta get a job." "one of us?" Bob asks. "You did a long stint at Insuricare." "hated every minute of it" " I know it was hard on you. Maybe it's my turn at in the private sector and you take care of the kids..." "No. I'm doing this. I need to do this. You know where my suit and ties are?" "burnt up when-" "Syndrom's jet destroyed our house" the two then said in unison, before chuckling a bit. Helen sighs "Yeah. We can't count on anyone else now, Bob. It's just us. We can't wait for—"
Suddenly, there conversation is interrupted by a bang. The two look behind them to the gates into the pool. They stand up, holding their ground. They look around, and see a shadowy figure coming toward them. As it came further, it revealed to be Lucius in a trenchcoat as he jokes "no lifeguard on duty. Swim at your own risk" Bob then smiles sarcastically, seeing it was him "Oh, where'd you go today? I noticed you missed all the "fun"." "Don't be mad because I know when to leave a party." Lucius replies as he goes through the gates and up to the couple "I'm just as illegal as you guys. Besides, I knew the cops would let you go." "yeah. In spite of Bob's bet efforts" Helen says, as Bob and Luciu grab hands and elbow bump. "i heard the program shut down" Lucius then says, making them frown "how much longer you in this motel?" "two weeks" Bob replies in a saddened tone. "Ya know my offer still stands" Lucius then replies, referring to an offer he made to them prior of moving in with him and his wife, to which Helen replies "You're very generous, but there are seven of us. We wouldn't do that to you and Honey." "well, door's always open" Lucius replies, before smiling "You know, the news isn't all bad. While you guys were being...detained, I was approached by a dude who represents this tycoon." as he speaks, he pulls a card out of his trenchcoat and hands it to Helen.
