#haha villian under government trouble again

[velcrodoesstuffsometimes]

I thought you didn't believe in magic?

Villian is always in trouble. Especially with the government, it comes with villainly! What do you want them to do? Not rob a bank? Yeah right, what's the fun in living a normal life?

Although now, villian would much prefer one. Villian believed in a lot of things, like that breaking the law was fine if done morally good. What villian didn't belive in though, was magic.

Yet, here they were. Hoarding and hiding a magical creature in their sage house and once again, in trouble with the government.

"Am I bothering you?" The creature asks, hiding behind the sofa, only being visible by their eyes up.

"Bothering, no." Villian responds dryly, changing the channel on the TV to the news. The creature crawls up and plops itself down next to villian, leaving an awkward gap.

Thos creature is at least a foot smaller than the villian, but at least not as thin as it was a few months ago when villian found them bleeding out after a mission.

"Mmm are you sure? I can't help you out at all and this is the third safe house we've been to." The creature says quietly, voice laced with guilt.

"We are close to my works base, we're hidden, and we're fine." Villian responds dryly again, the creature is always so worried. Although they have all the right to be. It's hard to go outside with shimmering wings. Or wings in general really.

The creature only responds with a small high pitched sound, clearly not believing villian.

The news isn't filled with anything new. The weather, villians evil doing, heros company's good doing, a new creature being spotted- a new creature being spotted?

Villians attention is at it's peak now.

"CCTV cameras reportedly caught a small feathered creature roaming the back alley of a local bar just after villians attack on a government protected building. People wonder is it was just a person playing dress up, a new villian, or an unseen creature that escaped government lock."

Villian peaks at the small creature next to them. The creature stares wide eyed at the TV screen, mouth slightly agape. Villians turns their attention back to the TV and bites their lip.

What are they supposed to do? The creatures been under villians hiding for at least 3 months, but the image that was shown from the CCTV was undoubtedly creature. That footage couldn't have been new, creature doesn't go into the city.

"I'm sorry." The creature says. When villian lookd at them, they aren't looking back. Creatures hands are on their lap, and their eyes are roaming down at the small cat they'd found in the alley way.

"You went out?" Villian asks calmly, masking the slight anger and worry, they don't want to scare the poor thing.

"I-its just- i- well- i-I wanted to go out and-and- i-it was so nice yesterday I just thought that-t-that a small stroll- I didn't mean-" the creature stumbles over words, trying to give out an explanation. Villian nofices their hands are shaking.

"Hey, hey, stop." Villian places their hand on thw creatures shoulder. The creature stops talking but still won't look at villian. Villian decides to shut off the TV.

"Why didn't you tell me? Why did you go back to the alley?" Villian questions.

There's a small moment of silence, creature obviously being ashamed.

"You weren't here, I just wanted to go out. It was so nice yesterday and I even took the backways, I wore the jacket you had made for me too. I went back to alley to find my book." Creature explains sadly, their voice still lived with guilt.

"What book could be so important that you went back?"

"Book magic, it's easier for me to do ever since I escaped government hold."

Neither person speaks. Villian let's the words sink in, clearly angry that creature had gotten caught trying to get a book. Creature raises their head just enough to look at villian. Dispose the hair covering their eyes, villian could see creatures glossy eyes and their bottom lip shaking.

"I'm sorry.." Creature says, barely above a whisper, if the TV was still on, villian wouldn't even have heard it.

Villian removes their hand from the creatures shoulder and lays back on the couch. They run their fingers through their hair and sigh. What are they supposed to do?

What is creature is lying about the magic? Villian has never seen them do any magic, but they just said that they can only do book magic. Even if creature was lying about the magic, they clearly aren't human, more of a human with several animalistic features. Soft, fluffy, downturn ears aren't quite human. Neither is the long fluffy tail or the wings that are fairly large given creatures size.

None of it is human. So what is villian supposed to do now that creatures been seen on camera? If people speculated that creature was just a weird cosplayer then that would be good. Villian still doesn't believe the magic part, not until they see it themselves. Who knows if creature is gonna go out and not tell villian again?

That's when an idea pops in villians head.

"How about we go see supervillian?"
