Snippet #19
AAAHHHH I'M LATE UPLOADING THIS
"There's a lot more to this job than just fighting," the superhero explained, one hand pressed against the hero's back as they moved down the dark alleyway, practically knowing the route by heart now. "Sometimes it's better to use our voices than our fists. Diplomacy. Negotiating with an enemy is never easy, nor is it done often, but there are some cases where it is necessary."
"Like Supervillain," the hero said.
The superhero nodded. "Exactly like Supervillain. Believe me when I say that fighting them isn't worth it - even a victory would be a hollow one at that. Villains with power like their's need to be kept at bay at all costs: the people always come first, Hero. No matter what."
"So, that's what we're here to do, isn't it? T-To negotiate?"
"Yes. Don't worry, I'll do all the talking." The superhero suddenly stopped beside a door, opening it to reveal a narrow staircase. They motioned for the hero to go down, the other gulping a little but moving forwards all the same. "All you have to do is watch quietly and follow my direction."
"I'm meant to be like a witness, right? Just stand there and look pretty for legal purposes?" the hero joked lightly, trying their best to stave off their nerves.
Behind them the corners of the superhero's lips curled upwards in an amused grin. "Yes, something like that."
"I bet the paperwork for this kind of thing is hell," the hero continued. "How often does Supervillain request something from us?"
"Once a year. Twice if they're feeling particularly greedy."
"And what do they ask for? Money, or - I don't know - jewels? Free dental care?"
The superhero merely hummed in response. "You'd be surprised..."
At the bottom of the stairs was a dingy corridor leading into a small, circular room. The walls and floor were concrete - the air cold. Across from them was a second entrance practically identical to the one they'd come through and right at it's threshold stood the supervillain, leaning casually against the doorframe whilst they eyed the watch on their wrist.
"Cutting it a little close, aren't we, Superhero?" they asked. "A few minutes more and I'd have grown impatient."
Their tone seemed to be teasing but there was an edge to it that made the hero shiver, forcing them to take a small step back. The superhero, however, was undeterred.
"I'm never late," they said bluntly.
The supervillain let out a small huff of breath. A laugh or a scoff, the hero couldn't tell, but it hardly seemed to matter when the supervillain's gaze shot upwards, first surveying the superhero and then the slightly smaller figure beside them. They smiled wide, eyes roaming up and down the hero's frame with great interest, the sudden attention enough to make the other squirm on the spot.
"Well, in any case," the supervillain said, standing straight and taking a step forward, "I see you've brought me what I asked for."
The words washed over the hero like ice. Their mouth dropped open and their eyes went wide, turning to the superhero beside them in search of reassurance only for the other to refuse to even look at them.
"S-Superhero? I- I thought we were here to - to negotiate," the hero said.
They were ignored.
"Oh, but we have negotiated," the supervillain supplied instead, eyes still fixed upon the hero with what the other could only describe as a look of hunger. "This, dear pet, is the trade."
The hero shook their head, trying to take another step back only for the superhero to catch their arm.
"No," they said. "No, no, no - you can't. This - you're lying: Superhero, they're lying, right?"
Finally, their superior turned to them, face expressionless as they held the hero's gaze. "The people come first, Hero. No matter what: the people come first."
They let go then, gesturing vaguely to the supervillain in front of them.
"Go," they ordered.
"B-But I--"
"Go."
If they noticed the hero's tears their didn't comment on it.
For a second, the hero simply stood frozen - a numbing surge of betrayal sweeping through them. They knew they couldn't run; knew that they'd be overpowered in seconds if they even tried and if they did then would that...would that be classed as treason? They would be disobeying a direct order from their superior: refusal to follow through was seen as an act of villainy - they'd have their heroic status ripped from them.
The people come first, Hero.
Shakily, they took a step forward. Then another. Their gaze fixed down upon the floor, vision slowly getting blurrier as more tears caught in their eyes.
No matter what: the people come first.
Sacrifice one to save many. The hero guessed it made sense - tried to persuade themself that it made sense. This was just a part of the job. They were just...
Doing...
Their...
Job.
They stopped when the supervillain's boots came into view.
The hero didn't even need to look up to know that the other was smiling down at them - could practically feel the intensity with which the supervillain looked upon them. They jumped sharply as a hand came up to play with their hair, holding their breath as the supervillain began stroking them like they were some kind of pet - another hand coming up to wipe away the tears that fell down the hero's cheeks.
"Hush now, it's alright," the supervillain cooed. "I am going to take such good care of you..."
"You better," the superhero inserted suddenly, and the hero could have sworn the other used to have so much more warmth in their voice than this. "They're meant to last you the year. I won't react kindly if you go back on our deal a fourth time."
Fourth?
God, how many other people had been sacrificed already? Where were they now? The superhero had said they were meant to last a year but what did that mean - what did it mean? Were they going to die?!
The hand stroking through the hero's hair stopped. Slowly their head was tilted upwards, and their eyes were forced to meet the supervillain's.
"Oh, they'll last me," the other said with confidence. "After all, I picked them for a reason - you told me yourself, Superhero: this one does not break easily... Unless I get bored of them, I'll drag them out for as long as I can."

STRIKE #2
THE NEXT MORNING
*Panel shows the bell ringing at a high school, THE ACTOR and CREAMPUFF walk to class.*
CREAMPUFF: Hey Mars!
Can we talk real quick?
THE ACTOR: Sure thing, Goldie.
Is everything okaaayyy-??
*CREAMPUFF pulls THE ACTOR into a corner to speak in private.*
CREAMPUFF: I know.
THE ACTOR: You know...what?
CREAMPUFF: I know about The Actor and I know about Obsidian.
Mars, I know about you.
THE ACTOR: Elizabeth. I have o clue what your talking about.
CREAMPUFF: Mars, I know you are The Actor.
THE ACTOR: How do you-
*THE ACTOR is cut off by TELEPORTER.*
TELEPORTER: Elizabeth!
There you are! I've been looking all over for you!
*CREAMPUFF annoyingly waves.*
TELEPORTER: Oh, hello there, Farrell!
THE ACTOR: Keegan! What's up, my man?
TELEPORTER: Oh, nothing much. I was just looking for the two of you, we're going to be late for class!
CREAMPUFF: *Sarcastically* Great.
THE ACTOR: Well then, let's get going.
*Whispering, to CREAMPUFF* We'll talk about this later.
AFTER SCHOOL
*Panels show THE ACTOR fighting some goons in an alleyway, they defeat them and go to comfort a young woman who the goons attacked.*
THE ACTOR: Are you alright ma'am?
WOMAN: Yes. Th-thank you.
*The woman gathers her things and leaves the alleyway. OBSIDIAN jumps down into the alleyway, and knocks out a goon who was getting up to attack THE ACTOR from behind.*
OBSIDIAN: Might want to watch your surroundings.
What? No thank you?
THE ACTOR: *Smugly* Thank you, Obsidian.
OBSIDIAN: Your welcome.
See, was that so hard, hero?
THE ACTOR: *Sarcastically* So tough, such a struggle.
OBSIDIAN: *Sarcastically* Oh, yes. I'm sure it was.
THE ACTOR: So, why'd you drop by?
OBSIDIAN: I, uh...
...I wanted to talk about last night.
THE ACTOR: Oh...
*THE ACTOR blushes and can easily be seen behind their domino mask.*
OBSIDIAN: Yeah, I...
...I wanted to apologize.
THE ACTOR: Apologize, huh? That's out of character for you.
OBSIDIAN: Heh, I know. But, I just don't know what came over me last night and...
...I'm sorry.
THE ACTOR: Well, your forgiven.
Was that all you wanted to talk about?
OBSIDIAN: Well, now that you mention it...
...Last night, after our meeting I was confronted by a girl in the alleyway.
THE ACTOR: Oh?
OBSIDIAN: She said she knew you.
THE ACTOR: What'd she look like?
OBSIDIAN: Its was hard to see in the dark but...
...She was dressed in some makeshift uniform with what looked like facepaint over her eyes...
...Oh, very blond hair I can tell you that!
THE ACTOR: I don't...
...Oh...Goldie.
OBSIDIAN: So, you know her?
THE ACTOR: No.
Well, yes. But...
OBSIDIAN: But?
THE ACTOR: It's nothing.
I've got to go.
OBSIDIAN: Again?
You seem to have a habit of walking out mid conversation.
THE ACTOR: I'm sorry but...
...I need to make a call.
*THE ACTOR grapples away leaving OBSIDIAN in the alleyway alone.*
OBSIDIAN: ...Damn.
LATER
*THE ACTOR is at home trying to contact CREAMPUFF on the phone.*
THE ACTOR: Come on, come on, pick up!
CREAMPUFF: *Voicemail* Hey!
THE ACTOR: Hey, Goldie!
CREAMPUFF: *Voicemail* Sorry I can't come to the phone right now...
...But leave a message and I'll get back to you as soon as I can!
THE ACTOR: Damn.
*Beep.*
THE ACTOR: Goldie. We need to talk. Please call me back.
*THE ACTOR looks over to the TV which is currently showing the news.*
NEWSCASTER: And in other news, Creampuff, a newly established hero has defeated her first major foe.
We have Greg over on the scene. Greg?
GREG: Yes, Carmen. I am here at the scene of the battle with Creampuff.
Now tell us, what made you decide to join the fight?
THE ACTOR: Oh my god.
Goldie!!?
CREAMPUFF: Well, Greg I became Creampuff because I wanted to help those in immediate danger-
*THE ACTOR turns of the TV and sits there on their couch in shock.*
THAT NIGHT
*THE ACTOR crawls into the window of CREAMPUFFs house.*
THE ACTOR: *Whispering* Goldie!
Elizabeth we need to talk!
*CREAMPUFF turns on the light.*
CREAMPUFF: I knew you'd come.
THE ACTOR: What the hell do you think your doing?
CREAMPUFF: ...What?
THE ACTOR: You've just made yourself a target!
Your not trained for something like this!
CREAMPUFF: I know I'm not but I couldn't just stand around and watch you be an idiot!
THE ACTOR: Idiot!!?
CREAMPUFF: You struck a deal with Obsidian!
Their a villain! You of all people know what they've done! How could you trust them!
THE ACTOR: I knew it.
*THE ACTOR points a finger at CREAMPUFF.*
THE ACTOR: You were the one who talked to them last night!
*CREAMPUFF crosses her arms.*
CREAMPUFF: And what if I was?
THE ACTOR: Elizabeth, your putting yourself in danger, this is a situation that you don't understand.
CREAMPUFF: ...You are too.
Let me join your team.
THE ACTOR: Hm?
CREAMPUFF: Your making a team. I want in.
THE ACTOR: What did I just say about putting yourself in danger!!?
CREAMPUFF: I wont be in danger. You'll be there.
THE ACTOR: No, Goldie.
CREAMPUFF: Fine.
But I'm not going to stop being Creampuff.
THE ACTOR: *Sighs in defeat* Fine.
*CREAMPUFF smiles. THE ACTOR gives her a card*
THE ACTOR: Meet me next saturday at this location.
CREAMPUFF: I'll see you there.
It's a work in progress, you've gotta bear with me...
Our lovely Lady Vapira who will some day make an appearance in my comic...
Unpopular opinion: The crust is the best part of the pizza, like I'll still eat the pizza itself but the crust is like the desert after the meal. Of course it differs on taste depending on were you get the pizza from...
Just an experiment… reblog this if you write or draw whump and you’re also a trauma survivor (any kind of trauma counts for these purposes)
PLEASE- I CAN TALK ABOUT THEM FOR DAYSSSS
My Mood Currently Be Like:
STRIKE #5
*OBSIDIAN wakes up, tied to a chair, in what looks to be a bunker of some kind.*
OBSIDIAN: Hm?
What the-?
Oh shit!
*TOMMY turns the chair OBSIDIAN is tied to face him.*
TOMMY: Good morn’n.
OBSIDIAN: Tommy. Why am I here?
TOMMY: Boss wanted ya.
But you did break the code so the three of us got free rein over ya until the boss gets here.
OBSIDIAN: Who’s your new boss?
TOMMY: No offense but I don’t think yer in the right position ter be ask’n any questions.
*TOMMY gestures to JAY and JACK behind OBSIDIAN with a baseball bat and a crowbar, TOMMY pulls out a pocket knife and cuts the side of OBSIDIANs face.*
TOMMY: Now let's make that lovely costume of yers match yer nice red hair.
*Panel shows “off screen” screams as TOMMY, JAY and JACK torture OBSIDIAN.*
OBSIDIAN: Aaaahhhhh!!!
MEANWHILE
*THE ACTOR, CREAMPUFF, BLURRY FACE and SPECTRE group up back at the HQ. THE ACTOR paces the room in anxious thought, BLURRY FACE and SPECTRE sit at the table CREAMPUFF is sitting on.*
CREAMPUFF: I’m sure they’re fine.
They could have just run away to avoid that whole broken code punishment thing.
Or maybe there wasn’t really one anyway.
THE ACTOR: No, there is a code. Both Obsidian and that goon brought it up.
*THE ACTOR puts a hand to their head.*
THE ACTOR: Oh gods, this was a bad idea.
Blurry Face, do you know anything about this code?
BLURRY FACE: Oh yeah! Not good.
THE ACTOR: *Sarcastically* Very helpful.
BLURRY FACE: Eh, sorry.
The code that they were referring to is probably the Vapira code.
SPECTRE: Vapira?
BLURRY FACE: Yes.
Vapira was a member of nobility in the 1400s before falling into a forbidden love with a knight from another kingdom.
CREAMPUFF: Romantic, but not helpful.
BLURRY FACE: Just listen.
Vapira and the knight were both banished from Vapira’s home kingdom and the village people were sent to hunt the two of them like animals on order of the king and queen as a punishment for treason.
THE ACTOR: Well that’s brutal.
BLURRY FACE: The villagers caught the knight and, legend says they burnt them alive outside the kingdom walls so Vapira had view of the sight.
SPECTRE: I think I’ve heard this story before…
I’ve read theories that Vapira went to a witch after the knights execution to bring her true love back to the land of the living.
BLURRY FACE: Those theories are just tall tales, lies to tell at a campfire to scare your friends.
CREAMPUFF: And how does this relate to the code exactly?
*BLURRY FACE looks CREAMPUFF dead in the eyes.*
BLURRY FACE: If someone breaks the Vapira code by either quitting before their contract allows or working with the enemies side…
…Then its considered an act of treason against the cities criminal underground.
They will send out any villains, goons or henchmen to have full rein over what to do the the code breaker.
This can be torture, perminant injury or sometimes even…
…Death.
THE ACTOR: Oh Gods…
We need to get Obsidian out of there now.
BLURRY FACE: Out of where exactly? We still have no clue where they could have gone.
SPECTRE: And, um, I checked all security cameras around The Tipsy Possum…
…Whoever took Obsidian must have avoided the cameras…
CREAMPUFF: So what your saying is we have no lead.
*All of a sudden TELEPORTER comes running through the HQs front door not noticing the heroes inside. TELEPORTER looks like they are trying to hide from someone.*
BLURRY FACE: Woah…
SPECTRE: Um…
Hi there.
*TELEPORTER turns around slowly.*
TELEPORTER: Sorry I didn’t know anyone was in here…
Ah! Heroes! Oh, maybe you can help me!
CREAMPUFF: *Under her breath* Why’d it have to be him…?
*THE ACTOR gives CREAMPUFF a nudge to stop talking.*
THE ACTOR: What is it you need help with?
TELEPORTER: I saw something I shouldn’t have and now a bunch of bad guys are trying to kidnap me!
THE ACTOR: Ok, ok. I’m going to need you to calm down, alright.
What was it that you saw?
TELEPORTER: I think I witnessed a kidnapping.
*The team of heroes a give each other a look.*
THE ACTOR: Can you tell me what the person being kidnapped looked like?
TELEPORTER: Yes! It was Obsidian, the villain. I recognized them from their hair it’s kind of hard to miss.
*BLURRY FACE looks at CREAMPUFF.*
BLURRY FACE: There’s our lead.
CREAMPUFF: Perfect timing.
THE ACTOR: I’m going to need you to tell me everything you know.
LATER:
*OBSIDIAN is left bruised and bloody, very limb, as a knock is heard on the door of the observatory. TOMMY, JAY and JACK answer the door and a figure in a black hooded cloak walks in, the three goons bow. The HOODED FIGURE points to OBSIDIAN and speaks in monotone.*
HOODED FIGURE: Is that them?
TOMMY: Yes, it-it-it-it is er uh sir.
*The HOODED FIGURE walks past the goons and towards OBSIDIAN.*
JACK: Will the be here, or is it just you?
*The HOODED FIGURE turns back to JACK.*
JACK: Sir, sir?
HOODED FIGURE: No.
The Greater Being will not be joining us this evening. I have been sent alone to retrieve the…
*The HOODED FIGURE pauses and stares at OBSIDIAN silently for a long moment.*
TOMMY: Uh, sir?
Sir? You alright?
*The HOODED FIGURE snaps out of his daze.*
HOODED FIGURE: The captive.
To retrieve the captive.
TOMMY: Er, yes, uh ok, sir.
I’ll send me boys, Jay and Jack to get the-the ropes…
…You you want us to er, knock em out too, sir?
HOODED FIGURE: No.
I want them to walk themselves to the van.
Untie them.
*All, including OBSIDIAN, look to the HOODED FIGURE in surprise and confusion.*
HOODED FIGURE: That was an order.
TOMMY: Uh, er, right, sir.
*TOMMY gestures to JAY and JACK to untie OBSIDIAN and they do. Once untied, OBSIDIAN throws a weak punch at the HOODED FIGURE who catches their fist and kicks them in the gut.*
OBSIDIAN: Ga- er…
HOODED FIGURE: Start walking.
MEANWHILE
*The team follow TELEPORTER through the back alleys of the old part of town.*
TELEPORTER: I saw them go in there.
*TELEPORTER points to the old observatory.*
THE ACTOR: The observatory…
CREAMPUFF: You look like you know this place.
THE ACTOR: I do, this was Obsidian’s old hideout.
BLURRY FACE: Hey guys, I think its no or never.
*BLURRY FACE points to the van driving away from the observatory.*
THE ACTOR: Let’s move.
