Cw: gun, betrayal

"I need your help,"

"Well, how can I say no to the lovely individual with a loaded gun in their hand?"

The villain smiled- a brilliant and dangerous thing. Definitely something the criminal shouldn't have been doing when they were at the receiving end of a gun.

The hero hadn't said anything else yet, though they needed to. They needed Villain's help. Hero didn't have much time before the others caught up to them, and if this was the only way they'd be safe, well then-

"Take it." They flipped the gun around so the barrel was facing themselves, the grip out towards the other.

"We don't have much time, act like you caught me. Just don't let them take me. No matter what they say, don't let them take me. Please."

The smile on the other's lips faltered. "What's going o-"

Villain hadn't even finished their sentence before Hero was spun, now with an arm to their throat and the barrel of the gun pressed to their right temple.

Superhero stood at the entrance of the alley, flanked on each side by heroes. They were suddenly glad for Villain's quick reflexes.

"Supervillain is searching for them, you know.” Their former leader remarked. Hero looked over the people they had lived and nearly died beside. People they thought they could trust. Hero had a sickening feeling all of that meant nothing anymore. "You would do well to hand them over. Hero is ours to take." Superhero took a few deliberate steps forward.

"Ah ah ah, not so fast," the villain tutted and pulled Hero back from the super. "I have priority here, their mine."

"Priority?" they let out a chuckle. "There is no priority. Supervillain-"

"Supervillain told me to hunt them down." If Villain wasn't on Hero's side, they'd be terrified by that statement. Villain was a hunter, and one who always caught their prey, at that. If Supervillain had actually sent them... Hero shuddered at the thought and watched with baited breath as the super narrowed their eyes. "I am under direct orders to bring them in. Don't worry, Supervillain will get their prize."

The super opened their mouth. Closed it. Looked at their group. Looked back at the pair. Opened it again.

Their phone rang.

Superhero fished the phone out of their pocket, glaring at the phone screen before hurriedly answering the call. “Yes boss?”

Hero wished they could hear the other half of the conversation. It was their freedom— their life on the line. They needed to know what was being said!

“We’ve found Hero, sir. But it seems Villain-“. Superhero cut themselves off and glared at the hero and villain pair.

“Yes sir.” A pause. “Yes sir, we’re on our way.” Superhero hung up the phone and without so much as another word, the superhero left the alley, their squadron of supers trailing after them.

A tense silence fell over the two. Neither dared to move, in case the others came back, or at least that’s what Hero was telling themself. They waited for Villain to release them. 10 seconds went by. 15. Then 25.

“Villain, I’m pretty sure they’re gone now, you can let me go,” Hero squirmed in Villain’s hold.

“See, the thing is darling,” the criminal murmured into their ear, “I had a mission before I ran into you. Can I tell you what that mission was?”

“Uh, sure?”

“I came out here to find you, under the order of Supervillain. And not even ten minutes later you’re begging, begging me to take you.”

No.

“And now that I have you, you want to leave? Just like that? I’m sorry, but that’s not happening.”

No!

“You wouldn’t-“

“I can, and will. Sorry darling, but your time is up.”

Before Hero could react, the gun slammed into the side of their head and darkness consumed them.

No…

Writing Prompt #13

"You remind me of a diamond."

"Um, thank you? May I ask how?"

"You're shiny, admired, very expensive-"

"Excuse me?"

"-and you reflect the people around you."

"… I'm sorry what?"

"Diamonds have no natural color, darling. They can only reflect the colors around them, much like you do with the people around you."

"Okay I know that was supposed to be insulting, but that is one of the sickest burns I think I've ever heard."

Tech Supervillain x Civilian

Tldr: After a successful heist Supervillain lands at a pharmacy to refill a prescription among other errands. But what happens when a robber holds up the store they're in? Can be viewed as romantic or platonic.

CW: Robbery/hostage situation, threatening with a knife, needles, pill taking

Author's note: It's never explicitly stated but Supervillain has Type 1 diabetes.

Supervillain's plan started without a hitch.

Their gadgets easily cracked the combination to the safe, overrode the security feed and locked down the exit. They strode through all security measures with pride knowing that no one else could complete a heist this flawless. They had accounted for all possible outcomes and when they picked up that flashdrive and clicked it onto their keychain their smirk practically radiated how superior they felt. Now all Supervillain needed to do was escape off the roof in their mini-hovership and they'd be home free.

Everything went according to plan.

Well... Almost everything.

Halfway through Supervillain's escape flight back to their luxurious remote mountain base (that they loved more than anything else) they started to feel their headache worsen. They took their eyes off the controls for a second to look at their insulin pump.

They ate prior to the heist but they knew they properly dosed their bolus. Additionally their pump should have been giving them a basal dose of insulin every hour. As they looked at the pump their heart sank.

Insulin flow blocked, replace tubing.

Shit.

They clicked the center button again to get a read on their sugar. Once again they were not pleased. 350 on the dot, yikes. No wonder their head was killing them.

They always kept extra tubing, pens and pods on them in case of an emergency but this was absolutely the worst timing in the history of ever. Supervillain was having trouble turning their head without hearing their heartbeat in their ears. They grabbed their clutch (which matched perfectly with their outfit) and fished out their pen.

Nearly empty. Of course. Still, some was better than nothing. They screwed on the needle on and injected themselves with the 8 units left in the pen.

They knew they'd be fine for the rest of the ride home but they figured landing at a pharmacy to get a refill on their prescription wouldn't hurt. They opted to stop mainly so they could also pick up something for their headache. They were never more glad to have autopilot on their ship until now.

"Roto, land in the parking lot of the nearest pharmacy."

"Confirmed location, landing in two minutes."

Supervillain winced before clicking the volume down on their AI pilot. Despite the headache they tried planning what exactly they'd do when they landed. Would the police be there? Should they just go home? No, they were already out and figured they'd kill two birds with one stone. Besides, they also needed to prepare for their movie marathon tonight! That reminded them to pick up some popcorn as well.

The hovership landed outside of an empty pharmacy parking lot. Supervillain was slightly worried that it was closed but was reassured by the lights on inside. They put on a mask just in case before walking in.

The store itself was pretty run of the mill. Convince store in the front prescription filling in the back. They couldn't take their headache anymore so they speed walked as fast as they could to the pain relief aisle, grabbed a bottle and walked back to the counter.

The Cashier at the counter quickly scanned the bottle and handed it back, visibly shocked when Supervillain instantly popped the cap to dry swallow a couple pills. Cashier opened their mouth to say something when Supervillain gave them a 20.

"Keep the change." Supervillain responded while pointing at the tip jar.

"Thank you!" Cashier whisper spoke to Supervillain, which they appreciated. "I like your mask" they then commented in a voice somehow softer than the last.

Supervillain hadn't noticed which mask they grabbed from their ship but knew that the only interesting one they had featured their favorite character from the show they wanted to binge.

"Thank you. I hope you have a good night." Supervillain wished before bidding them goodbye. They then realized that they didn't get the popcorn yet so they'd have to see them again.

Why where they like this.

Regardless, they figured they'd go to the back to get their prescription which was turned out to be a quick and easy process when you're the last person of the night.

As Supervillain walked to the popcorn aisle they thought to themselves about how Cashier had a great voice.

Totally not in a weird way just in a "I want to program my ai pilot to have your voice because it's much smoother and nicer than pixelated static".

Ok maybe it was weird no matter how you look at it. Like how do you even bring that up in a conversation casually.

They snapped from their thoughts at the sound of shouting from the front. A voice screaming for everyone to get on the ground and for the Cashier to put the money in the bag.

Was someone really robbing the store right now?

Was someone really threatening the Cashier they wanted to copy the voice of?

Was someone really yelling when they still had a headache?

When Supervillain walked to the front of the store they saw some run of the mill masked stranger holding up their Cashier. Cashier was shaking like a leaf as the robber barked orders, threateningly pointing a knife at them.

"Pathetic." Supervillain said while glaring at the robber, catching the attention of both them and the Cashier. Cashier flinched and motioned for Supervillain to get down while the robber got in their face.

"What did you say to me!?!" The robber screamed while holding the blade to Supervillain side. Spit got on their mask disgusting Supervillain to no end. They cooly held eye contact before continuing.

"I said you're pathetic. You're also loud and crude. The longer you're around me the more terrible traits I see." Cashier panicked in the background trying to grab the robbers attention.

The robber grabbed Supervillain's shirt collar and brought the knife to their throat. Supervillain didn't even flinch.

"Who the hell do you think you are!?!" The robber screeched before feeling the taser hit them in the side. They unceremoniously fell to the floor as Supervillain smirked under their mask. Supervillain then looked up to see Cashier shaking and freaking out.

They casually stepped over the incapacitated robber and strode up to the counter before placing the popcorn on it.

They expected a few different responses from Cashier. Endless thank you's. A complete breakdown. Screaming in fear while dialing the police. Supervillain didn't know what to say when Cashier started to cry silently while asking if they were ok.

"Um-" Supervillain started before Cashier wiped their eyes to look at their neck.

"Why would you do that? You could have been hurt." Cashier stated despite the crack in their voice. It was honestly amazing that they stayed soft spoken after everything that just happened.

Supervillain just sighed before lowering the mask. "Because I can. Think of it as me claiming my turf. Nothing more nothing less. You'd swat a fly if it was buzzing in your face, would you not?"

They weren't surprised by the small gasp that left Cashier's mouth, most people reacted that way when they recognized Supervillain. However they were once again caught off guard when Cashier was ushering them out the door. They'd be a bit offended if it wasn't for the fact that Cashier gave them the popcorn back as well.

When finally out Supervillain thought Cashier would say something like 'never return' or scamper back inside after locking the door. They didn't expect Cashier to hug them.

"I'm sorry. I turned on the silent alarm when they started waving the knife. I don't want you to get caught so please hurry. The cameras in the store don't work so you don't have to worry about that." Cashier said into Supervillain's chest before pulling away. Supervillain felt stupid when their reaction after the hug was to hold up the bag of popcorn.

"Take it. It's on the house. Just get home safe, ok?" Cashier assured. Supervillain didn't fully accept that answer.

"When do you get off?"

"I'll probably get to leave after giving a police report."

"So like 15 minutes?"

"Maybe?"

"Do you want to watch that show tonight?"

"I don't know, are you inviting me to watch it with you?"

"If you want to. I stole the original copy along with all the behind the scenes extended features." Supervillain held up the flashdrive, enjoying the look on Cashier's face as they looked back and forth between the flashdrive and Supervillain.

"Deal, swing by in 20 minutes if the coast is clear. Good choice of popcorn by the way. Now get going!" Cashier said while pushing Supervillain towards their hovership.

As Supervillain got in the ship, started it up, and gave themselves the rest of their dose they only grinned ear to ear.

Maybe inconveniences lead to opportunities in the strangest places.
