Villains Make the Best Heroes - REMODELLED
Disclaimer: C'mon, you actually think I own any of this? No, I don't own anything and doubt I ever will. I have never claimed to own anything and make no profit.
A/N: My first fic that I might actually continue and finish. I have no clue where this will go; I'm making it up as I go. Also don't be surprised if I over use short sentences, full stops and rhetorical questions! I really can't help it!
Now on with the show…
------------------------------Steps To A New Sacrificial You-------------------------------------
Alec's mind was racing. Was this his fault? Was he the reason Logan was about to be shot dead? Alec swallowed hard. If he moved, he would be shot too. He stared at the man with an arm around Logan's neck, holding him hostage to Alec. His other hand held a small gun. It may have been small but this was a gun loaded with bullets and with one fire could kill Logan and/or Alec.
It was time for Alec to do something. He had been so motionless for minutes; he could hear an alarm ringing for him to at least breathe. He needed a plan so that both he and Logan could get out alive; he didn't really give a damn about anyone else. These creepy scientists were after Alec anyway. They knew who he was and wanted to lock him up and do tests on him. That was as much as Alec knew, and it even freaked him out. He was relieved that they didn't know Logan's EO identity though and he didn't want to imagine the situation he'd be stuck in if they did.
Since he had thrown millions of punches already, he had no hope solving this the usual way of just kicking ass. The men had ducked, weaved and surpassed every move he gave, which was the hugest surprise for Alec because he was a super-being that was used to being undefeated. They were obviously not the scientists, just men hired for the job. That's when he decided there was only one way to get out of this…
Communication and negotiation.
Certainly, it was odd path for a guy like Alec to go down but he felt it was now his responsibility to protect Logan and guard his life. Did I actually mean that? Now, Alec was confused. I hate Logan, why I am so worried?
He stirred away from those thoughts and decided to make his move.
Step One: Relax.
Alec took a second to actually breathe, and followed through by finally acknowledging the others and flashing his trademark grin.
Step Two: Find their weakness.
Alec knew what they wanted. Him. Great, how does that work to my advantage?
Step Three: Haggle.
Alec finally moved and took a step closed to the line of men, specifically to the one in the center holding Logan captive. And then he spoke…
"Okay, I'm just gonna be straight-up honest," he shouted, raising his hands up in a surrender. "Is there a way that my friend and I could get out of here?"
He gave that cheeky smile again and hoped for a miracle.
The men began to laugh at him, and the ringleader in the middle set it straight. "Are you kidding, man? No!"
Alec chuckled at the sight of the "big tough men" in tuxedos finally showing emotion.
Of course he was disappointed. Did I actually think they'd say yes and let him go? I just can't get this right.
Step Four: Negotiate.
Alec took another shot for a miracle.
"Fine, your choice. My last offer: I won't call on my mutant transhuman friends who could kick your pathetic asses, if you let us go"
C'mon would this work? He crossed his fingers in hope. He was genuinely worried and scared, what was happening to him?
The man in the middle took the reins again, "Uhh, let me think about it…" he said as if here were an idiot. "No."
"Hmm, now that's not nice," Alec replied, masking his disappointment and worry again.
That's it. Hope's a bitch. Fate can do what it wants.
Step Five: Sacrifice.
"Okay," he began to give in. "I'll swap ya."
Ringleader smiled, satisfied.
