#sidekick and supervillain

[avvail]

prompt #85

“You’re gonna have to learn how to breathe, kid,” the supervillain grumbled dryly, hand pressed against the hyperventilating sidekick’s back. They ducked their head, tears rolling down their cheeks as they clawed at their chest, attempting to get themselves under control.

The supervillain nonchalantly patted their back, somehow finding it within them not to roll their eyes. It wouldn’t be fun to torment their nemesis’s sidekick when they were in this state. That would just be in bad taste.

Reward

Warning: implication of torture, death

-Malice. Our lord would like to see you.

-Of course. I’ll follow you. 

Malice followed Weaponmaster, the most competent henchman around, through the dark corridors. The wood creaked under their feet. The people they passed by all bowed when seeing Malice.

Wepaonmaster arrived in front of a large black wooden door. He knocked four times. A low voice called:

-Enter.

So they did. The room was an office. It was well cleaned and a large streak of golden light coloured the walls. Weaponmaster stayed by the door with two hands behind his back.

Sat at a desk was an old man. The weight of power made his face somber and the colour in his hair fade. However, his gaze was still sharp. 

Malice stepped in the middle of the room and bowed to All-encompassing.

-My lord. I heard you called for me.

-I did.

The old supervillain got up from his seat. There was someone next to him. A tall and muscular man. He had a metallic collar around his neck. Something was off. It seemed like he wasn’t alive, all emotions drained out of him. It wasn’t the same stoicism as Weaponmaster, or anyone else really.

All-encompassing walked towards Malice, his arms opened as if to take Malice in a hug. 

-You are one of my best men and out of all of them, I trust you the most. And thus, I want to reward you.

-It is an honour.

The supervillain showed the man that stood next to his desk with his hands, proudly.

-Do you see him?

-I do.

-This is The Ravager, my magnum opus. He is your prize. 

All-encompassing’s grin was wide. He looked at Malice expectantly like a giddy child proud to show his drawing to his parents. Like a parent, Malice knew better than to refuse the gift or to guess wrong.

-A servant?

-More than a servant. I trained him to kill, to die, to do anything for you. Through trial and error, he became an obedient, docile, loyal and a destructive force of nature. From now on, he is your tool and will follow your commands.

Malice found that absolutely disgusting. He knew the supervillain didn’t have a very good moral code but that crossed every line imaginable and raised many questions. Where was Ravager kept? How long did they suffer? How much did they suffer? How much of Ravager’s conscience was left?

-Will he really do anything?

-Anything.

Malice stayed quiet for a moment. Ravager was still by All-encompassing’s seat. He hadn’t moved an inch. Malice threw a questioning glance at the smiling supervillain. The latter made another motion with their open hand as if to say “Go ahead, try.”.

Malice tried an uncertain:

-Come here.

Ravager moved. Despite his impressive size, he was almost silent. It was mechanical, mindless, a robot that moved until it was told to stop, no matter what was on its way.

Ravager stopped in front of Malice just as unnaturally. He was stiff and towered over the two of his superiors. From up close, Malice saw his gaze. There was nothing but glassy eyes. How long was he tortured to end up broken like this?

Malice repressed a shiver when All-encompassing whispered in his ear:

-Isn’t it wonderful?

-It is impressive my lord.

-Try something else.

-Yes, my lord. 

Malice stared at Ravager for a moment. He wasn’t used to having someone directly under his control. It was usually an unspoken rule that people had to respect him and bow to him. Bow to him.

-Bow to me.

Ravager bowed. Even then, he was still tall. His face was closer than ever. His emotionless gaze was locked on Malice and only Malice. It was unsettling, and, again, unnatural.

-I thought you had more imagination than this Malice.

-I’ll find something more interesting soon, my lord.

That earned a laugh out of All-encompassing. He put a warm hand on Malice’s shoulder.

-I know, you always do. Would you like to know the best part, Malice?

-I would.

-I trained him to be the most resilient thing in the world, like a diamond nothing can break him. 

No wonder, there is nothing to break in someone that’s already broken. Malice preferred to keep that thought for himself. His lord continued with an almost arrogant tone:

-Step back and see for yourself.

Malice did just that. All-encompassing took a small remote control in his hand. Electricity came out of Ravager’s collar. The man stiffened ever so slightly. His expression went blank, as if he wasn’t there. How could he look less alive than he already was? He stayed up and never once flinched.

-It is impressive.

-Isn’t it?

All-encompassing harboured his proud smirk as the electricity stopped after a click. It made Malice sick. How could he be so proud of breaking a man and moulding him into nothing? The supervillain kept going however:

-He is good at killing too.

This peaked Malice’s interest however. An idea appeared in his brain. A plan. Depending on the answer, it could bring a lot to Malice. He asked innocently:

-Could he be able to kill Superhero?

Superhero were stronger than All-encompassing, they were the reason why the supervillain didn’t take a hold of the city. All-encompassing answered confidently:

-With ease.

-I see.

Then, All-encompassing turned his back to Malice, tranquil. He looked out of the window as he sometimes did. What a mistake. Malice took this window of opportunity. He turned to Ravager and whispered:

-Would you like to kill them?

Ravager was intelligent enough to whisper as well.

-If my master wishes.

-Am I your master?

-Yes.

-Do it.

Behind those glassy eyes, the ash of a fire were blown on. The fire of resentment perhaps? Ravager took one look at All-encompassing’s back before plunging at him. 

A neck snapped and the supervillain was no more. Malice smiled.

-Perfect.

Malice stepped towards the body. He took the small remote control. With a click, the collar fell off of Ravager and dropped on the ground.

-You are free, and…

He turned to Weaponmaster. His hands covered his mouth and his eyes were wide with fear. He flinched under Malice’s gaze.

-I am your master now.

At that, Weaponmaster put a hand on the wall to keep himself from falling. He said with a voice that trembled despite the evident control he was trying to have:

-Yes, my lord.

Malice sat on the now deceased supervillain’s desk. He looked around the room. Orange light fell through the window and filled it with its soft glow. It was beautiful. 

Weaponmaster finally stood straight and was looking at them for the next order. So was Ravager, still by All-emcompassing’s body. 

The old man wanted to reward Malice, well, his position is the best thing he could give to his most trusted follower. Malice could certainly get used to this. He smiled, his legs kicking in the air:

-Well, it seems like everything turned out great today.

Fenton, the Ghost Hunter Hero

So! When Danny first saw a Ghost attacking his school, he was still terrified of his parents finding out about his Powers.

He looked exactly the same in his Ghost Form, sounded the same, he even had the Hazmat Suit his parents had custom made for him on as a Ghost. There was no way anybody wouldn't immediately find him out if he tried to stop Lunch Lady with his Powers, it was so obvious!

But he couldn't just leave her there. She had crossed through the Portal that he opened, and was attacking his friends. He needed to stop her somehow!

So he tried, he just didn't use his Powers. He stole a bunch of his parents Inventions, fixed the broken ones so they actually worked, and ran in to stop Lunch Lady as a Human. The battle lasted far longer than he would have liked, but eventually he managed to stop her and shove her into the Thermos.

And from there on out, he just kept doing it. Danny became the Town's defacto Hero, since his parents were too Incompetent and he had the ability to actually beat the Ghosts, he had to protect the people he had endangered.

Soon enough people began to notice his Heroics. Mr Lancer didn't stop him when he ran out of the classroom, Dash stopped shoving him in Lockers, and his parents were Ecstatic when they found out he had gone into the "Family Business".

He still kept his Ghost Form hidden from his parents and the Public though. It was still too dangerous.

He only ever used his Ghost Form while in the Ghost Zone so he could blend in, and avoid being attacked by the multiple Ghosts who he had forced back in there. Danny Fenton was a Ghost Hunter, Phantom was just another Ghost wandering the Ghost Zone.

(Though he did gain some infamy by defeating some powerful ghosts, like Aragon or Plasmius)

Years down the line, Fenton remained the respected Ghost Hunting Hero of Amity Park, his greatest accomplishment being the defeat of Pariah Dark, the Ghost King.

That battle had actually drawn outside attention to the town for a change, and it wasn't long before Danny was offered a spot on the Justice League's Junior Team. It wasn't every day when the evil Ruler of another Dimension was defeated by a non-powered Human, so it actually sparked some interest in the Town.

Unfortunately, Danny couldn't accept the Invitation.

If he joined the Justice League, it ws only a matter of time before one of their multitude of Magic Users realized the truth and outed him as a Ghost. He couldn't take that chance.

He was content staying as a small town Hero dealing with a "minor" Ghost Problem, no need to overcomplicate matters.

That is, until the JL contacted him again a few months later. Apparently, their Time Travelers had warned of an Evil Ghost known as Phantom, who would one day grow so powerful he would destroy the world and leave it in ruins. They needed his help as an expert Ghost Hunter to track down Phantom, for the safety of the world.

Problem. This version of Danny had never actually met Dan, since his history went so differently. Now he is terrified of what event could have led to him becoming the Worst Supervillain in History.

Somethings never Change

"Ah." Supervillain hummed as he sat on the rooftop, letting his legs dangle off the edge. "The cycle continues."

Superhero chuckled as he laid his head on Supervillain's shoulder, fiddling with the wedding ring on his finger, a matching one on Supervillain's hand. "The cycle continues."

They both watch Hero and Villain, formerly their sidekicks, sit on a rooftop a couple of buildings away, unaware they are being watched as they settle down for a picnic date together. 

"It's almost hilarious how they tried to hide this from us," Supervillain murmured, observing as Villain cracked a joke, sending Hero into a fit of giggles. "And to think this was us 5 years ago."

Superhero snorted, "Some things will never change, I guess." They buried themselves deeper into his lover's side until they almost looked like one person melted together. 

"Do you remember how your sidekick used to cling to you when she was first inducted?" Superhero felt Supervillains fingers brush over their shoulder. 

"Do you remember how yours accidentally ran into a wall on his first mission?" Superhero retorted, but there was no malice in their voice. 

Supervillain kissed Superhero's forehead. "I call being the Officiant at their wedding."

Superhero gasped. "You wouldn't dare take that honor away from me."

Supervillain grinned that same grin that used to scare away any civilian who looked at him. "Oh, I dare. Besides, you need to walk Hero down the aisle." 

Superhero huffed, "You win, I guess." He stood up, "I call the movie tonight."

"You mean the movie you're going to sleep through anyways?"

"I hate you."

"No, you love me."

They ended up leaving Hero and Villain to their little date, watching a movie of Superhero's choice (Which Superhero fell asleep to minutes in, and Supervillain dozed off shortly after, cradled in each other's arms).

First story on here! Ig it's a bit of a prompt? Idk. Constructive criticism is very much appreciated!

Just Watched

Warnings: blood, gunshot wound, character death, revival

"WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOU!" Sidekick screamed at Supervillain as they rushed to Villain's side. Villain had collapsed in a crumple heap after the bullet tore through their chest. "Come on, Villain, come on," Sidekick said as they ignored Villain's blood that was pooling on the ground and knelt down, feeling for a pulse.

"Sidekick, really, it's not that bad," Supervillain said as they stood looking completely unbothered by the fact that Hero had shot Villain moments ago before escaping.

"YOU JUST WATCHED THEM DIE!" Sidekick screeched as they realized Villain was pulseless. They couldn't believe it. Villain was dead. Villain was dead and Sidekick was stuck working for Supervillain.

"You're being a tad overdramatic, Sidekick. I think we should--"

"WHY SHOULD I LISTEN TO YOU?" Sidekick began to sob. Villain was dead. Villain was dead and there was nothing they could do. They brushed Villain's hair off their face, "I'm so sorry," they murmured to Villain's body.

"What are you sorry about, Sidekick?"

"Villain is dead. I am sorry they are dead. And I'm sorry they worked for someone who is so uncaring." Sidekick sniffed.

"Villain isn't dead, Sidekick, they--"

But Supervillain was cut off by Villain twitching and suddenly sitting up with a loud cough. "Oh, geez," they gasped as they spit out a bullet into their open hand. "Remind me to never do that again."

"HOW?" Sidekick shouted.

Villain flinched. "There's no need to shout, Sidekick. I'm ok."

"YOU WERE DEAD! HOW ARE YOU NOT DEAD?"

Villain gave a wry smile. "I'm immortal, dummy." They looked over at Supervillain. "What'd I miss while I was out?"

Supervillain shook their head and headed to the car. "Just some minor dramatics. Come along, we have a lot of work to do."

Infidelity Reprisal Pt. 1

Warnings: Language, Cheating, Blood, Fighting, Gore, Explicitly. F-Hero, M-Villain.

2025

Hero was happy.

She was content with her sweet life.

How could she not?

She had an amazing job in which she saved people as a hero, obviously, and stopped crime altogether. And she basked in the glory of the people knowing her, the whole city knew who she was and what she did.

She had an awesome boss and good friends who supported her.

And she had an amazing family.

Her life was great, well, as great as life could be.

What she didn't expect was to fall for a criminal. Which should have been entirely impossible.

But she did.

And what's more, marry one.

Villain was one of the most vicious villains in the city, known to be the best of the best. Many other minor criminals were afraid of him and that said all about who he was.

But falling for and marrying him? That was entirely absurd, especially for the fact that she hated him at first.

Back when she was young and a new hero, saving people and stopping crime.

Hero crosses her arms, her eyes narrowed on the figure who was stood in the doorway of her apartment. "What are you doing here?" She questioned sharply, eyeing him dubiously as he would attack her at any moment.

Villain merely gave her a charming smile, bringing his hand forward from behind his back. There was a bouquet of sunflowers in his grasp, bright and sweet.

Hero falters, staring at the flowers. She didn't expect him to know what her favorite flowers were, but he did, surprisingly.

"What do you think, little hero?" Villain snorts, gently shoving the bouquet in her hands and walking past her and into her apartment as if he owned the place.

She blinks in surprise as he brushes past her, and she frowns, glancing at him. She fumbles with the door, scrambling after him. "Wha-? Hey-!" She turns to follow him, surprised at his audacity.

Villain takes a seat on her favorite brown coach, getting comfortable and looking around her apartment with a critical eye.

Hero squirms, shifting nervously as she watched him. She had enough people judging her taste and what she liked, she didn't need him to mock her or possibly insult her.

Villain paused, his gaze snapping towards her. "So?" He spoke up, eyeing her. "Do you like the flowers?"

Hero furrows her eyebrows, glancing down at the sunflowers in her hands. She narrows her gaze. "How could you possibly know that sunflowers are my favorite?"

Villain shrugs, leaning back against her coach. "I've been watching you." Is all he says.

"Like that's not creepy." Hero mumbles, making a face.

Villain grins, watching her. "I like to keep an eye on things that I...admire..." He murmurs, his gaze cat-like.

Hero swallows hard, shifting uneasily.

After that day, he kept visiting her. He kept coming back, with more sunflowers, mint chocolate which he also knew was her favorite, roses and sweet cards with words that he had written himself.

This went on for two long years, and Hero had kept it discreet unless her bosses found out and fired her for her incompetence and for the fact that the most notorious villain in the city, liked her.

And by the third year, Hero started falling for him too. It was the little things he noticed; when she got her hair noticed, why she wasn't going to watch the new release of her favorite movie series, why she hadn't gone to the book store, when she got a pair of new boots or leather jacket. He noticed.

At first, she had been skeptical and in denial of her so-called feelings for him. When she had told her parents about Villain, they had immediately scolded her for rejecting him. They were keen on his 'protection' and for the fact that he was Villain.

"Honestly," Mother had said with a shake of her head, disapproval in her gaze. "If a powerful person had tried to Court me, I would gave said yes. Just by your words I can tell that he's enamored with you!"

Hero didn't bother to listen to her. She would always come second to their priorities, the first would always be her young sister, Sister.

Time went by and eventually, Hero acknowledged the so-called feelings she had for Villain. When she and her team were fighting him, she had noticed that his lackeys would go easy on her. She was annoyed by that but said nothing.

When Villain had come to see her next time, she had spoken up.

"I'm not some weakling who needs your help!" She had snapped, glaring at him. "Your stupid minions barely hit me."

"Oh?" Villain raised his eyebrows, smirking. "You wanna be hit? That's a weird kink."

"I'm serious!" Hero slaps his shoulder, clenching her jaw with her ears a pretty pink. "I don't need you to...I don't need them to go easy on me, just because their boss-" She takes a deep breath. "Just because you..."

"What?" Villain leans closer to her, staring onto her beautiful gaze. "Just because I like you, sweetheart?"

Hero gulps nervously, trembling as she noticed the distance between them.

That night, she had her first kiss with him.

Dates happened, discreet and small. They grew into something much bigger, but Hero knew she got lost in something so entirely. A part of her said it was a had idea while the other said it was incredible.

She soon enough answered his sweet and what looked like an expensive proposal, with a yes. The wedding, it had been all her. He had allowed her to decide on everything, the flowers, decorations, cake, music, food, everything. He just wanted to marry sweet her.

And their marriage? Well, it had been such a sweet experience for her. Their marriage was of course a secret from the Hero Industry, they would no doubt call her a traitor and lock both of them up.

He was attentive, caring, kind and very needy with her. She wasn't a good cook, he taught her. She wasn't good at laundry, he had said that all minions took care of everything.

They went out every single night, or well, almost every single night. They both still had jobs they needed to do, and they made it work.

Hero would not hunt him or his people, while Villain would not hurt her or her team.

Life was good.

But Hero had gotten some horrible news, about Sister and her own husband.

Sister sobbed loudly, tears streaming down her face, sat on the coach in her parent's large house. "I-I-I-" She hiccups, "Ca-can't believe it-"

Villain was leaning against the pillar and few feet away. The only person who knew of his identity and marriage to Hero, were her parents and Hero herself. And their parents knew that telling anyone would result in getting hurt, or something possibly worst.

"He cheated on me!" Sister sobs, big fat tears streaming down her face. "On me!" She screams, trembling with heartbreak and rage.

Villain winches.

Hero watches her sister with something akin to pity but also sympathy. "Darling-"

"Don't darling me!" Sister snaps, pushing her Mother and Hero away with a wail. "That asshole is gonna get what's coming to him! Revenge will come for him."

Hero frowns deeply. "Revenge is not the answer. It's a horrible, horrible thing."

Sister scoffs, her eyes teary as she turns to her. "Oh, what would you know!" She snaps, sniffling. "Your husband is still with you, you wouldn't understand! But I will take revenge on that bastard, I don't care!" She snaps, storming away.

Hero had watched her go with sad eyes.

"She's a bit dramatic." Villain had said when they got home. "But not entirely wrong on the revenge part."

"Come on, I don't wanna have this conversation again." Hero says with a frown. "You know I don't agree with that."

"On revenge?" Villain asked, staring at her frown. "If someone cheats oj you, makes you feel like dirt, betrays you, you wouldn't want revenge? I would." He snorts.

Hero furrows her eyebrows. "I just don't agree with the notion. They'll get what's coming for them, but why would you wanna get revenge on them?"

"Because you felt like it?" Villain scoffs. "Because you felt betrayed and you want them to feel what you feel." He rolls his eyes. "You're so soft."

"Then why did you marry me?" Hero asks, crossing her arms, her gaze set on him.

Villain smirks. "Because of your many qualities, my love."

Hero rolled her eyes, a small smile ok her face.

And when she wasn't at home, she was at the Hero Industry, trying to catch villains and criminals.

"What do you mean?" Hero asks, sat in her cubicle in the main office. Her gaze was on Sidekick, who looked anxious as he shifted uneasily on his feet.

"I meant what I said." Sidekick says quietly, leaning closer to her, he hesitates. "Something is going on with the higher up's."

"Like what?" Hero asks curiously.

Sidekick paused. "...it has something to do with...Supervillain." He whispered.

Hero furrows her eyebrows in confusion. "You mean, that big crime lord from 120 years ago?"

Sidekick nodded, his eyes narrowing with contempt. "Yeah. I don't know what's going on, but they said he's back or something."

"But...wouldn't be old and about, 100 or something?" Hero asks in confusion.

Sidekick had only shrugged.

When Hero had asked Villain, he had tensed but answered nonetheless. "Their just baseless rumors, Hero. Don't listen to them. Most of the villains also think he's back but I think it's ridiculous." He scoffs. "Don't worry you're pretty, little head."

"But who is Supervillain, anyway? I mean, I've heard of him from others and kinda read about him in the Old Archives."

Villain pursues his lips in contempt. "He was a big shot criminal in the 1900s. Practically the King of Crime, he was ruthless, vicious and downright cruel to anyone who wasn't in his inner circle."

"Inner circle?"

"Yeah. He had people in his inner circle from high places, mayor's, lords, big business people, and shit like that." Villain rolls his eyes. "He had spies everywhere and anywhere. He got away with a lot of crimes."

"He sounds horrible." Hero frowns, leaning back against the sofa.

"He was." Villain scoffs. "He ruled the criminals of that time, bought them all, he practically built a whole empire. It wasn't until a few decades ago that he disappeared, something must have happened for him to just...vanish. And he hasn't been heard ever since."

Hero continues to frown, contemplating on his words.

"But people and villains alike say he's still out there." Villain says. "Which is ridiculous. But they say he's still out there, planning. That he still rules from the shadows, killing any villain that isn't worthy. They think he's searching for something."

Hero moves closer to Villain, cuddling into his arms. She sighs. "Searching for what?" She asks quietly.

Villain glances down at her. "No one know what..."

Hero felt the forbade feeling that somehow, they would all soon find out.

Sidekick's Death -- and Hero's Rage part 2

Warnings: death of Hero's sidekick, grief & denial, bleeding and grievous injuries, passing out

Hero's breathing was harsh and ragged as Villain lowered her to the ground, where she flopped limply onto her front in the dirt.

"You can't..." Hero's voice faded as she sucked in another rattling breath, injured and tired and bleeding, beaten. But that didn't stop her from scrabbling at Villain's shoes with blood-caked fingernails like a wild animal, desperately begging.

On any other day Hero would never sacrifice her dignity in such a way, would never grovel at his feet. But this was different. It was about Sidekick this time, and she'd do anything for him. She needed to see him with a gut-wrenching desperation and Villain was standing in her way and--

Hero gave up, knowing she couldn't win, and laid limply on the ground at Villain's feet, sobbing and wailing wretchedly into the dirt. She hoped he would have the mercy to kill her too. She couldn't imagine living without her sidekick, her dearest friend and ally.

She was distantly aware of the sound of vehicles approaching, and knew out of experience that it was the media and news crew rushing to get a story and be the first reporter on the scene. But she didn't care. It was over. Sidekick was gone.

Grief and devastation stabbed her right in the chest, yawning open into a giant black pit of nothingness, of hollowed-out agony that knew no bounds.

She was shivering and shaking violently, and she flinched hard when she felt a hand on her arm, forcefully dragging her up from the ground. She cried out in pain as Villain picked her up entirely with one arm around her back and another under her knees.

Hero's head lolled weakly in his arms, and she struggled to fix her blurry vision on his face. But she could have sworn Villain himself was shredding tears as he carried her off the scene and away from prying reporter's eyes, taking her to who knows where.

"How could you let Supervillain kill him," Hero rasped weakly. "How... could you..." her voice trailed off into a whisper of breath as her consciousness ebbed and faded, and she mumbled inconsolably, babbling nonsense and speaking in circles. She was in shock, badly injured and unable to fully process what had just happened, her mind reeling. She cried hard until the exact moment she passed out, tears flooding down her face like twin rivers of agony.

-------------------------------------------------------

Hero woke up in a world of pain, and it took a second to center herself.

Wait. This wasn't her home. Nor was it the medical wing back at her hero base. Where was she?!

A stinging pain in her leg made her gasp and twitch in surprise, and she looked down to find none other than Villain himself, cleaning and treating her injuries, eventually wrapping them in gauze. She wanted to kick him in the face, but was terrified to realize she could hardly move at all, her body dead weight on the couch she was resting on. Then the memories came flooding back in a nauseating wave, and Hero's breath hitched. "Sidekick--is he really--"

"Yes," Villain answered without glancing up from his work, "it was all real, Hero. Sidekick's gone. I'm sorry."

"’Sorry’ won't bring him back," Hero croaked hoarsely, and Villain visibly winced.

“I didn't know Supervillain would take it that far,” Villain whispered, half to himself. As if it justified anything!

"You work with him every day!" Hero shrilled. "How could you not know your own ally well enough to predict this?!?"

"Watch your tone," he growled warningly. But his eyes were full of genuine guilt and sorrow.

"Watch my--" Hero sputtered for words, gaping at him with eyes filled with anger and hate. "How dare you! This is all your fault, and you have the audacity to tell me to watch my tone?!"

Villain raised his hands placatingly with a weary sigh. "Sorry. Just calm down, okay? You don't want to get your heart rate up too high..."

Hero stared at him.

He stared back.

And Hero caved, sniffling quietly as she broke down all over again, anger dissolving into anguish. She turned her face to the side in a vain effort to hide it, but her sobs kept getting louder as the grief plowed into her. The realization that Sidekick was never coming back. She'd never go on another mission with him ever again.

Villain hesitantly reached out but paused, not sure how to react or comfort the weeping hero. This was definitely not part of the contract of being a villain.

Cautiously, Villain took a seat on the edge of the couch, carefully laying a hand on Hero's shoulder in some faint semblance of reassuring.

Hero didn't slap it away like Villain expected, and he took it as a good sign. It meant Hero was accepting his help, to some small degree. Or maybe she was just too lost in the grief to care.

"I'm so sorry, Hero," Villain murmured, and he meant it this time -- there was no trace of condescension in his tone like usual, no characteristic mockery or teasing.

It was a raw, vulnerable moment for both of them, a mutual understanding and shared pain that went bone-deep.

Because Villain missed Sidekick too, in some strange way. He had never known him personally -- only through fighting him on the battlefield -- but Sidekick had been such a ray of sunshine that Villain almost looked forward to fighting him sometimes. So full of witty remarks and barbed banter that could make anyone smile and laugh, even Villain himself on occasion.

But now Sidekick was gone, and left behind was... nothing. An empty void, an aching absence. A hole in both Villain and Hero's hearts that cried out with 'something important is missing here', like they couldn't comprehend it.

Villain stayed there for a long time, gently rubbing Hero's shoulders while she shook and sobbed wretchedly, the sound breaking Villain's heart to hear. So full of agony and anguish. He stayed with her long after she cried herself to sleep when she was too exhausted to stay awake anymore. Stayed and watched her hiccuping breaths slow to a more even rhythm, though tears still stained her cheeks.

Only then did Villain let himself break down as well, once he was certain Hero wouldn't see him cry. He couldn't bring himself to show her such weakness, even as he grieved. He felt so utterly human right now it tore his heart and soul apart. He was used to dissociating from reality to get things done as a notorious villain used to hurting people on a daily basis, but he'd never felt so present, so here, than right now.

Tears were still falling when Villain felt his phone buzz in his pocket and pulled it out, the screen lighting up to show a new text by Supervillain.

Where are you? You should have been here by now.

Villain gritted his teeth so hard it hurt, and angrily stuffed his phone back in his pocket without answering. Supervillain didn't know this particular hideout's location, so he couldn't teleport into it to check in.

But Villain had no intention of meeting back up with him tonight. Or ever again, after witnessing Supervillain's brutality firsthand.

Supervillain was dead to him.

prompt #82

“They said that I could go with them this time, and then they left for the mission without even telling me. I feel like they just have me around for the publicity and they don’t really believe I’m capable enough to do this. But I can. Hero just won’t see it.”

The sidekick sighs sadly, lips curved into a frown. They gently rub their fingers together, glancing up at the figure sat next to them.

“I’m grateful that you always listen even though you don’t have to.”

At that, the supervillain smirks. “Anytime.”

Small master table: Villains and Heroes

Main master table

Original works:

One shots:

Villain’s melody: Hero found Villain injured in an alleyway, humming themselves a melody.

The Passer-by

A deal that didn’t go as planned

Strange kidnapping

Invisible: civilian and villain

No questions asked: sidekick x henchman, fluff, caring Superhero

Caught and touched: minor angst to fluff, supervillain and hero

A Trap: angst, betrayal, henchman and superhero

Series:

These stories are mostly (absolutely) self-indulgent. These are just to keep me going in writing and to avoid getting caught up in perfectionism. So the writing is not perfect but I hope you will enjoy them.

Sidekick and Supervillain: the Sidekick has shadow powers and has always felt out of place with the Hero. That is until the Supervillain takes him to his lair. Mostly fluff but also angst once in a while.

Sidekick and Supervillain, part 1

Sidekick and Supervillain, part 2

Sidekick and Left-hand, part 1 (Sidekick and Supervillain, part 3)

Cosy and Fancy: Hero and Supervillain meet once again on friendly terms. This is my attempt at romance, don’t hesitate to give feedback on that.

Arc 1 : Fluff - completed -

Hero and Supervillain meet again

Dinner between Supervillain and Hero

Hero and Supervillain walk in the night

Supervillain and Hero’s end of evening

Malice: Malice is a supervillain quick on his feet with a lot of plans in case anything happens. As the story progresses he will gain more allies and probably more enemies.

Arc 1: Origins

Reward: Malice, a trustworthy supervillain, is called in the office of the lord of his organisation to be given a reward. He knows to use his reward for something better, probably.

Invisible (side story, also found in the One-shots category)

Conversation in the yellow light: Weaponmaster, the best henchman, talks to his new lord Malice. Despite his usual fear, he discovers something more soothing, he doesn’t exactly know what that is.

Truth beneath the anger: A lot of villains aren’t exactly happy about Malice becoming the new lord of the organisation. A heated conversation with Tormentor, a villain, highlights this reluctance.

Freedom to think: Malice desperately tries to get Ravager to think of something else other than his duties. Perhaps the supervillain could achieve this one step at time.

Thorny argument: Weaponmaster finds Tormentor in a grey abandoned bathroom. Their discussion escalades into a heated argument about their new lord Malice.

Friends? Weaponmaster was peacefully relaxing himself when Ravager came, asking to be his friend.

Hey! Hope your having a good day! If you want to, could you do a story where a supervillain typically goes easy on a group of rookie heroes, as he usually fights them just for fun, and could destroy them if he wanted.

He just lets them think they can beat him.

Then, something happens (maybe they cross a line, and one of the heroes tries to stop their team from crossing that line but they don't listen) where the supervillain shows them just how powerful he actually is?:

Thanks for reading!! Sorry it you don’t do requests!

Hey! I'm soo sorry I thought I posted this but I ended up finding it in my drafts, forgotten about. I don't know how It happened. I'm not sure if I should post this but here is it anyway. Sorry again

Warnings: Destruction, injuries, threats

The rookie heroes stood in a loose circle, their breathing heavy, their costumes scuffed and torn. In the center of the room, the supervillain lounged on a makeshift throne of rubble, his legs crossed, his chin resting on one hand. He looked bored.

“Is that all you’ve got?” he drawled, flicking a piece of debris off his sleeve. “I expected more from the city’s finest.”

The leader of the group, a fiery young hero named Blaze, stepped forward, her fists crackling with energy. “We’re not done yet,” she snapped. “You’re going down.”

The villain raised an eyebrow, a smirk playing on his lips. “Oh, I’m shaking.”

The team lunged at him, their movements clumsy but determined. Blaze sent a wave of fire in his direction, while another hero, Vortex, tried to trap him in a whirlwind. The villain dodged effortlessly, his movements almost lazy, as if he were playing a game. He countered with a flick of his wrist, sending Blaze stumbling back with a gust of wind.

“Careful,” he said, his tone mocking. “You might hurt yourself.”

The youngest of the group, a wide-eyed hero named Alice, hung back, her hands glowing faintly. She watched the fight with growing unease. Something about the villain’s demeanor—the way he seemed to be holding back, the way he almost smiled when they attacked—made her stomach twist.

“Guys,” she called out, her voice trembling. “I don’t think this is a good idea. We should—”

“Stay out of it, Alice!” Blaze barked, sending another blast of fire at the villain. “We’ve got this.”

The villain sidestepped the attack, his smirk widening. “Do you, though?”

Alice’s unease grew. She could feel the tension in the air, the way the villain’s energy seemed to shift, like a storm gathering on the horizon. “Blaze, please,” she tried again. “He’s not even trying. We’re pushing him too far.”

But Blaze wasn’t listening. None of them were. They were too caught up in the thrill of the fight, too convinced of their own strength. And then it happened.

Vortex, in a reckless move, aimed a powerful blast of wind at the villain, sending a chunk of the ceiling crashing down toward a group of civilians who had been hiding in the corner. Alice’s eyes widened in horror. “No!” she screamed, diving to shield them, but she knew she wouldn’t be fast enough.

The villain’s expression changed in an instant. His smirk vanished, replaced by a cold, hard glare. With a flick of his hand, he froze the debris midair, his power crackling like lightning. The room fell silent.

“That,” he said, his voice low and dangerous, “was a mistake.”

The air around him seemed to darken, his energy surging as he rose to his feet. The rookie heroes stumbled back, their bravado crumbling under the weight of his presence. Even Blaze looked shaken.

“I’ve been playing nice,” the villain said, his voice like ice. “But you’ve crossed a line.”

He raised his hand, and the debris shot back toward Vortex, pinning him to the wall. Blaze tried to attack, but the villain caught her wrist, his grip like iron. “You think you’re heroes?” he snarled. “You’re children playing dress-up.”

Alice stepped forward, her hands raised in surrender. “Please,” she said, her voice trembling. “We’re sorry. We didn’t mean—”

“You didn’t think,” the villain interrupted, his gaze piercing. “And that’s the problem.”

He released Blaze, sending her stumbling back. “Consider this a lesson,” he said, his voice cold. “Next time, think twice before you bite off more than you can chew.”

With that, he turned and walked away, leaving the rookie heroes shaken and humbled. Nova watched him go, her heart pounding. She had always known the villain was powerful, but seeing it up close—seeing the raw, terrifying force he had been holding back—was something else entirely.

As the dust settled, she turned to her team. “We need to be better,” she said quietly. “Or next time, he might not let us walk away.”

Hello, I hope you have a nice day.

I see a lot of villain x hero, sidekick x henchman…. But what about ✨supervillain x superhero✨? Two nemesis who knew each others for years and both rose up to the highest ranks on the opposite sides of morality. They both have a presence that scares the other side.

Maybe they don’t see each other often but when they do during solo missions it feels like a warm reunion.

It would be sweet to maybe have them dance on a building in the moonlight while talking about their new apprentice. (Maybe said Sidekick/henchman/both would look at them from the darkness?).

Or it can be somewhere else or another topic of discussion, I just wonder what this ship would look like.

I think I ranted enough (my apologies), if it doesn’t strike your fancy it’s also okay :)

I really like this prompt! This was such a much needed push for me as a writer and it definitely had me out of my comfort-zone (in a good way) tysm!

I'm also combining this with a request from @celestial-cosmica for the song Sofia by Clairo!

Music Series: Sofia -Clairo

Superhero and Supervillain laid side by side on the rooftop, their feet dangling off the edge as they looked up at the stars.

"Kids these days, huh?" Superhero said softly.

Supervillain chuckled quietly, "Yeah. They're gonna go far."

Superhero nodded even though the other probably couldn't see it. "Who knew we'd end up here... I mean, I still remember when we were kids in the academy before... everything..."

"Yeah." Supervillain sighed.

"What if..."

Supervillain turned their head to look at Superhero as they hesitated, "What?"

"Nevermind, it's stupid."

"No, tell me."

Superhero smiled, "Trying to pry out all my secrets now? I thought we gave up on the secret spying missions after the last time I caught you."

Supervillain laughed, "No, I just want you to be honest with me. Don't you think we've been through too much together to hide?"

Superhero hummed, "Isn't that a problem?"

Supervillain sat up and looked at them, "What's that supposed to mean?"

"We're enemies, or at least supposed to be. Don't you think this is wrong?"

"I think you're overthinking."

"No, I'm not Supervillain, we have our own empires, we have people under us, responsibilities, I mean, countless lives are in our hands, don't you think–"

Supervillain shut them up with a kiss and only pulled back once they were both breathless and panting, "You say that calling you mine is a crime. Well, baby, I'm a criminal."

"I think I'm in love with you." Superhero mumbled before pulling Supervillain back in for another kiss.

Superhero's sidekick and Supervillain's henchmen stood on the ground at the bottom of the building, watching their mentors from below.

"Well, this is awkward." Henchmen pointed out.

"I know. They stole our spot."

[whatthehellami]

"You just saved the world and they didn't increase your salary?" The villain gasped.
