OOOOOOHHHH!! I Love This!!

OOOOOOHHHH!! I love this!!

Lets get a "the heroes "friends" hand the hero over to the villain" snippet in here! Love your writing, and hope you are feeling well.

I’m doing well, thanks, and thank you for waiting and I’m so glad to hear you like my stuff. I hope you like what I’ve come up with.

Hero was very confused when they entered the warehouse to see their friends sitting on crates only a few feet away from Villain, their sidekick and two henchmen. Hero tensed and couldn’t help but position themselves ready for combat.

“It’s alright, [Hero],” Villain said with a smug smirk. “You’ll be pleased to know your friends and I have come to an… well, an agreement.”

Hero turned to look at their friends in concern. They were not reassured to see them look away. Guilt was obvious on their faces, but why?“What’s wrong?” they asked the leader. Leader looked reluctant to reply so Villain cut in on their behalf.

“A deal has been struck. I will be giving up my master weapon, in exchange… for you.”“Me?!”“Yes. You belong to me now. Though it is a shame that your friends have been quite so cowardly and unfaithful towards you.”

Hero shook their head and turned to run. They tried the door they entered through but it was locked. Hero yanked at it desperately.“No, no, no! You’re lying! You have to be lying! You’ve hypnotised them, or they’re not real- something! They wouldn’t- you wouldn’t do this to me, we’re a team, family!”

Villain stood from their crate and smiled almost sadly, almost. “It’s a straight-faced deal. You for the weapon- I hardly needed to even negotiate. You’ve been misled all this time, and I’d apologise to you if it was my place to do so.”

Hero was almost certain their heart tore in two. Something snapped inside them, numbing heat rushed into their body, heavy and devastating. “No… Please. [Leader], please-” Hero tried to get some sort of reaction from them, they rushed to them and tried to hold them by their forearms, to reason with them. They didn’t understand, they couldn’t go with Villain, they couldn’t. Why were they doing this?!

Their leader pushed them away. “I’m sorry… It’s the only way. I hope you understand.”

Hero felt their legs wobble, their lip tremble and tears threaten to spill. Then another wave of heat hit them like electricity. Anger, betrayal, hopelessness it all boiled together and overflowed within seconds. Hero punched Leader as hard as they could. “I am not just property for you to just give away! I won’t go!”

Hero made to hit them again but Villain caught their fist. Hero turned sharply and tried to free their arm. “Get your hands off me! I’m not yours!”Villain looked up at the group of friends. “You can go now unless you enjoy seeing your Hero beg their supposed friends for help that is. Don’t worry, I’ll take good care of them.”

The heroes took their leave, some looking more ashamed than others. Hero fought with a fire in their eyes. “Revoke the deal! Please! [Leader], don’t do this! [Leader!] I trusted you!”

It took Villain’s Sidekick and two henchmen to get them under control, wrestling them to their knees and holding on tight to their arms while Sidekick had a handful of hair as a warning. Hero slumped forwards and struggled not to sob in front of their enemy. Their breathing was heavy and forced out through gritted teeth.

“I told you no one would care about you,” Villain observed. “They didn’t even try to fight for you.” When Hero didn’t retaliate, Sidekick let go of their hair. They took up a pair of handcuffs and secured their hands behind their back. The henchmen let go of them for the time being. “Let’s go. I’ll give you the chance to come with some dignity.”

Hero didn’t budge, they looked so deep in thought that they hardly acknowledged what was said. Villain sighed and crouched down in front of them. “I told you to pick better friends. Now your decision has come back to haunt you, the best thing you can do now is to forget about them. On your feet and come with me.”

Hero still couldn’t move, “I don’t understand…”

Villain stood and dismissed them with a flick of their wrist. “People are scum, [Hero]. Sooner you learn that the better off you’ll be.” Hero let the henchmen take them under the arms and drag them to a waiting van.
