My last post in hero/villain got such a good response, so we're doing another one. This snippet came to mind, and I just had to write it.
(Not like I'm working on a multi-part thing, that's not important at all, nooooooo)
I'm also trying to figure out how to turn asks on. Once I get them up, send in a request if you have one!
Edit: Forgot to add in TWs!
Locked
TW: Implied(?) Kidnapping
"I think you'll like it here." Villain said, stopping the car. "It's got everything."
From the passenger seat of the sedan, Hero glowered at their enemy.
"You can't stay silent forever." Villain continued, climbing out of the car. "You'll have to talk eventually."
They closed the door, and Hero just happened to notice a little detail that had slipped their nemesis by. For a second, they considered letting it lie. But Hero was desperate, and anything to stall for time so their team could find them was welcome.
So, as Villain reached the passenger door, Hero reached their bound hands over and locked it.
Villain tried to open it, and when the attempt failed they grinned, and felt in their pockets for their keys. Hero felt their heart sink. So much for stalling for time.
But as they watched, Villains smile faded and the patting became more frantic. They tried and failed again to open the door.
"Open the door!" Villain yelled. Hero barely manages to keep a straight face as they shake their head.
"Damn it!" Villain cursed.
That was how the hero team found them not 20 minutes later, struggling to get a car door open while their missing member cackled from inside the vehicle.
