Cool Down The Incredibles

Go To

Cooldown is a The Incredibles 1 one-shot fanfic by Talyn.

Most hero stories end with the good guy triumphant and the villain vanquishing. However, real life is not so clear cut, as even the toughest heroes can walk away with quite a few scars, both physical and mental. And the Parrs deal with the aftermath of Syndrome’s villainy?


‘’Cooldown’’ contains the following examples:

  • Continuation Fic: The fic follows the Parrs immediately after defeating Syndrome, recounting the chaotic events of their lives and how they’ll struggle with going back to being heroes while protecting their kids from harm.
  • Dented Iron: Despite his superstrength, Bob still was seriously wounded and scarred by Syndrome’s weapons and torture. Helen urges Bob to go to a military hospital.
  • Happily Married: The Parrs remain a loving and supporting couple, with the two working to compromise between their hero and civilian lives.
  • Henpecked Husband: Downplayed, as Helen is far from overbearing in her relationship with Bob, she still fuzzes over his injuries and urges him to go to a hospital.
  • Parents as People: Helen worries about trying to maintain a hero career while keeping her kids safe, but Bob assures her they can work something out.
