Eyes Like Fire
Part 2 Part 3 Part 4
Warnings: mayhem, destruction, threat of death
Hero's chest was heaving as they ran as quickly as they could for shelter. Everything had gone wrong and they weren't sure how to fix it. All they knew is that they couldn't let Villain, a being with eyes like fire, a being unlike anything they had encountered, a being that had destroyed half of a block with a mere wave of their hands, catch them.
They had been relaxing at Base when an alert went off about a potential for a mass casualty event that would start in an hour. Hero had been so glad that Organization had gifted them the technology that could predict the future. Since receiving it, City had been so much safer.
But as the alarm went off, Hero's mouth went dry as they realized they couldn't understand what the machine was warning about. The information it spat out made no sense. And so they set off to the abandoned warehouse on the outskirts of town, the place where a mass casualty event would start if Hero didn't stop it.
And now as they fled for their life, Hero realized nothing could have prepared them for this.

"Villan," Supervillain drawled as they reclined on their throne.
"Yes, my liege?" Villain bowed low. Though for all intents and purposes Villain appeared the loyal and enthusiastic apprentice, Villain loathed every moment they spent in Supervillain's company. They loathed the things Supervillain made them do. They wanted nothing more than to be free of the burning freezing lands that Supervillain. But they were not strong enough to fight back. Yet.
"I want you to go to Earth. I want to know what Organization is up to."
Villain started. Earth. They hadn't been permitted to go to Earth ever. This was their chance. "Am I to just observe and report, my liege?" They sounded bored. They couldn't let Supervillain know about the hope and eagerness that bubbled up in them. Couldn't let Supervillain take away their chance at freedom.
"You can have a little fun while your up there. But yes, observe and report."
Villain gave a wicked grin. "I am delighted that you would pick me for this mission, my liege. I won't let you down." They spun on their heel and made for the portal.
"And Villain," Supervillain called, "you are to return immediately when I call."

Earth was everything Villain had hoped and dreamed for. As the portal dropped them in a dingy, empty street, they could feel the fires of hell flickering through their veins. It had taken more power than they would have liked to build a body they could inhabit on this plane. Perhaps they had not made the body strong enough. They could always make another they supposed.
Villain went to step forward but found they couldn't. They looked around to see what had trapped them. Villain frowned as they spied a circle of power keeping them tethered to the portal. How would they break free of it?
"Stop where you are!" A voice shouted from the edge of the street. "State your name, where you come from, and your intentions."
Villain cocked their head as they stared at the human. This human was....more than human. They stood tall and proud, their well muscled body tense as they stood before Villain. Villain liked this human.
"I said, state your name, where you're from, and your intentions," the human repeated as they took a step towards Villain.
Villain smiled as the human inadvertently broke the circle of power containing them. "I'm Villain." Villain took a step forward. "I'm from Hell." They watched the human grow afraid of them. Watched and felt the fire burn in their veins. "And I am free." And they unleashed the flames.
