Supervillain’s Younger brother

Original part 2

Once the sound of opening folders was heard, supervillain sighed heavily. They figured that killing hero would have to be planned out, which needed time, and of course, they don’t have such a valuable thing. That wouldn’t stop them though. Nothing did.

Opening the doors towards the outside world, supervillain inhaled, then exhaled. The scent of smoke disturbed their calm mind, but that wasn’t as important as the task at hand.

They recently got a message from the mastermind that hero has been in a few… tight ties with someone, and for some reason, mastermind had thought it would be a good idea for supervillain to know first before giving the information to other villains. As much as supervillain tries to stay away from the business hero and villain has, the superior criminal still managed to be in the middle of their tightrope.

Not too far away, an explosion was heard. Hearing this was like an everyday thing to supervillain. They walked through the streets of the so-called ‘dark side’ of the city until they reached the famous part of Metropolis.

Would you look at that, a building on fire.

Supervillain was about to shrug it off until they saw a glimpse of the hero, the same hero who had returned their younger brother. The hero saw them too, but continued to rush toward the building in fire. Jackpot.

Supervillain watched as the screams of civilians and collapsing walls unraveled. They jumped into the flaming building and searched for the hero.

“Let me go! I only— Ack—”

Supervillain raised a brow and went to the direction of the voice. A group of people, who seemed like teenagers, were holding the hero hostage. The criminal expression was both confused and angry.

Hero was… hero. They shouldn’t be under the hands of low-life teenagers but at the same time… that was supervillain’s target. The hero whom they planned to kill but was ever so bluntly interrupted.

Supervillain carefully followed the group of teenagers into a dark alleyway. They made sure none of the thugs would see them.

One of the teenagers, who looked the oldest, ripped out the gag out of hero’s mouth. He crouched down to the hero and roughly held their hair against the wall. “Listen here hero, you give us the code to the hero agency, and we’ll let you go, unharmed.”

Hero grit their teeth. “And if I don’t?”

The teenager punched the hero’s cheek. “We’ll tell villain, the one you’re stuck in ties with, about your little sister. I heard she’s from Springville elementary school. Which is not far from here.”

Hero widened their eyes, and so did the supervillain. Turns out, hero has a little sister who goes to the same school Jax(supervillain’s younger brother) goes to.

“Ugh, this is getting boring, why not torment hero right now and then negotiate?” One of the teenagers whined, grabbing a bat into her arms.

The oldest got up and grinned. “Ladies first.”

“Now the real fun begins..” the girl trailed off, clutching onto the bat tightly. As much as supervillain hated hero’s guts, they couldn’t bear to leave hero there, beaten up by a lame group of teenagers.

Once the girl was finished, she swirled the bat with her hands. “Say, if we took hero to villain like this, how would he react?”

“He doesn’t like his business being interrupted by feeble teenagers like you.” Supervillain suddenly said, coming from the shade. The group of teenagers backed a few steps. The oldest teenager sweat dropped. “Oh supervillain..! How nice of you to join us…?”

Supervillain scoffed. “You wish. I’m actually here for..”

In a swift second, the superior criminal drop kicked the teenager, picking up the gun spattered on the floor. Supervillain looked amused. “I have to say, I’ll give you credit for trying to pull the secret gun-on-the-pocket trick, unfortunately though, I know all of the tricks in the book.”

“Y-You..!”

Supervillain sent the girl a death glare. She grit her teeth and the group of teenagers scurried away, not daring to challenge the criminal. “One day, I’m going to get you for sure!” She said before running away.

Supervillain rolled their eyes. They didn’t have an ability but they sure did have high intelligence. The criminal threw the gun to the side, it was useless anyway. “Why… why did you..” hero coughed “..save me?”

Supervillain sat next to the hero. “That teenager said you had a little sister, was it true?”

Hero glanced away the criminal. “Yes, I do.”

The criminal knew something would prevent them from killing the hero, but didn’t expect hero to have a little sister. If they killed the hero right then and there, the child would be an orphan, and there was too many orphans out there trying to live their life without a parent or guardian.

“Mastermind had also told me you and villain had some business, in which it consisted of him threatening your wealth and family. He doesn’t know your only family is your little sister, does he?”

Hero nodded. They knew supervillain was smart enough to figure that out. “I’ve been trying my hardest to not let villain get near my sister, or even know who she is.”

“How about we make a deal?” Supervillain asked, facing the hero. “If it’s something about giving you a code or information…” hero trailed off, remembering the group of teenagers.

“No I don’t need that,” the criminal started “Information is easy to get.”

Hero raised a brow. What did supervillain want then?

“Take Jax to school tomorrow, and in exchange, I’ll cut the ties you have with villain.”

Hero’s mind spurred in many directions. Should they trust supervillain? Villain, as far as hero knew, could read minds and manipulate people, how could someone like supervillain, with no ability, convince him otherwise?

“But villain has telepathy, how would you convince him to cut ties with me?” Hero asked, desperate for an answer.

Supervillain smirked. “I’m not called a supervillain for nothing you know. I can’t tell you how, but I have my ways.”

For a moment, hero was optimistic. “Only for tomorrow?”

“Now that you mention it, how about for the whole week? Villain is no person to be easily convinced.”

Hero had thought about it before replying, “I am free until ten am, so I’ll take Jax to school every morning for the whole week. Just promise me this,” hero stopped, glancing at supervillain.

“Don’t get yourself killed for trying to help me. It’s usually my job to do that but…”

Supervillain took out a knife and sliced the ropes around hero. “You don’t need to finish the sentence, I already know.”

For the first time, somebody had actually saved hero. “Thank you.” they said, not sure if supervillain was willing to accept it.

The criminal got up and walked away, putting on the trench coat that had fallen when making their entrance. Before supervillain actually left, they stopped to tell the hero, “I saved you because I didn’t want another child to become an orphan.”

Hero had to process the criminal’s words, before finally realizing. The supervillain must have had a soft spot for children. Hero smiled, perhaps the superior villain wasn’t so cruel after all.
