Jay wheezed painfully, weakly holding himself up with one arm, his white-and-gold hero suit stained with his blood, as he glared down the glitchy villain floating before him with that sick, sick grin. His nemesis was floating in a strange, mocking pose, his expression comical as he held his arms and legs stiff to his side. A twisted, glitched giggle echoed, and he twisted around, turning around and turning upside down as he hovered over the hero’s broken body. He put his hands up to the side of his face, and started to laugh more, becoming fairly maniacal.
“Uh-oh! Looks like I wooooon!” He taunted, stretching his arm out and “delicately” snatching Jay’s body up. He brought the worn hero up to his face, and his grin widened as he reached an arm up to Jay’s face. “Now… let’s see who you really are, Jack~” The creature sneered, and Jay tried to shrink away, but he was too slow to escape the greedy hands. His mask was removed, and the glitch’s expression widened in fascination.
“What do you want from me, Ace?” He wheezed in pain, looking down in shame.
“What do I want? What do… I want? I thought you’d never ask!” He snickered, swiftly sending the injured man to the ground, as his grotesquely pale body seemed to grow in size, “I want you, Jay Jameson.”
He shakily pushed himself up, preparing himself for a retort in response to his real name, but as soon as he looked up, he froze, watching in horror as those painfully familiar red strings appeared, and shot for him. He braced himself, knowing he was too injured to be able to escape.
It was awful. He could feel the strings as they sunk into his skin, and as they wrapped around his limbs, sprouting thorns that dug into his skin and sent even more strings under. He tried to muffle his whimper, his breath shaking as he stared at the ground in fear.
After what felt like forever, but was probably just a few seconds, the strings came to a slow stop, and he heard the gentle plap of Ace’s feet floating down to the ground. He didn’t dare look at him as the villain shrunk his body back down without changing his legs, and then shortened them to their normal height, as he walked over to the hero, knife still in hand.
There was a soft giggle, and then Ace knelt down, and tilted Jay’s head up to make him look him in the eyes. As he stared, fear coursed through his body, as he felt something burning into the back of his neck. He exhaled sharply, trying desperately not to make any sounds, and the glitch smirked, raising the hand with his knife in it. Flinching and squeezing his eyes shut, he expected pain, but what he got was a soft hand on his head. He breathed shakily, as he realized he seemed to be showing affection… though, he knew not to trust this.
And, sure enough, as soon as the burning pain dissipated, Ace tightened his grip, and yanked the poor man up by his hair. He finally cried out in pain one last time, as Ace extended his legs again, making himself too tall for Jay to even hope of touching the ground at all. He tried weakly to make the villain drop him, but it was no use. Somehow, Ace shrunk him down, and tossed him into a pocket-sized birdcage, hastily leaving the scene with him.
That… was the end of the hero’s freedom.
