Super hero story

The Dysfunctionals

The Dysfunctionals are a dysfunctional family of super heroes. They never get along and always make everything worse, so no one ever calls them for missions. Each of them has a flaw that stands out. Parfait is the mother and wants everything in her family to be perfect in her family, but she can also teleport. Control Freak is their father and he always wants to be in charge and has the power of super strength. The daughters name is Outcast, she is a socially awkward teen trying to find herself. She hates having super powers so she never uses them. However, she can read minds.

One day while the Dysfunctionals were arguing at dinner, they heard a knock on their door.

“Who is it?” Said Control Freak, annoyed.

“It’s the Police”

Control Freak opened the door and asked what the problem was.

“There has recently been a murder in the city and we don’t know who the next target will be. The police are on it, but we were wondering if you would help us, we could sure use it,” responded the officer.

“You actually want our help? You must be new to this, don’t you know my family and I always mess everything up?” Control Freak said, laughing.

The police officer looked reluctant, “Well we’re desperate.”

“PARFAIT! OUTCAST! Come here,” yelled Control Freak.

They came to the door and everything was explained to them. Outcast automatically said no, but her father, being the person he is forced her to do it. He said it would give her a chance to break out of her shell. With that being said, the family set out with the officer to meet up with the others to discuss a plan.

The Dysfunctionals were going to stay together while the police searched the Downtown area. The murderer was approximately six feet. He was fair skinned and was last seen wearing a black jacket. His last murder took place about a half hour ago.

“When we find the man, I want you to talk to him and calm him down while I do the rest of the work. You’ll know what he’s thinking, use it to our advantage” Control Freak said to Outcast.

“You want me to talk a serial killer? You’re obviously crazy and I can’t even talk to normal people. You know that” Outcast replied.

The evidence the police had collected showed he had history of killing whole families.

“What if he was after our family?” said Parfait.

“He’d never be after our family. We don’t even do anything. There’d be no point” exclaimed Control Freak.

Once Parfait brought up this idea the family started arguing. They got so caught up in arguing they forgot about their mission. They had been driving and didn’t realize they had gotten lost and someone had been following them. Control Freak got out the car to look around and see if he recognized where they were.

“This is all your fault” he yelled.

When he got out the car another car pulled up behind him and out came a tall man wearing a black jacket.

“That’s him!” Outcast screamed, terrified.

“Shut up” her father yelled.

The man ran up to family and grabbed Outcast, covered her mouth, and held a gun to her head. Outcast was so scared she had forgotten all about her super powers.

In the meantime Parfait had teleported to the police station to let them know they had found the man. No one had even realized she was gone. The police were ecstatic. Finally the Dysfunctionals had done something right. They hadn’t even noticed they had actually helped out.

Control Freak used his incredible strength to fight off the man. He grabbed the gun and held the man position he couldn’t get out of, no matter how hard he tried.

Moments later the police arrived and arrested the man.

“I can’t thank you enough” said the officer. “This man is wanted in cities throughout the U.S and we finally got him, thanks to you guys.”

“I still wonder why he was after our family” replied Parfait.
