There was little doubt in Kurt's mind he was born to be a superhero. His mother had been the famous Blue Rose and his family had known since he had been a child that he had inherited her powers (which she had gained from pricking her finger on a radioactive rose). He had always known the risks of taking up this heavy responsibility: the birthdays missed because mommy was fighting the bad guys, the late night arguments between his parents when he was supposed to be asleep and even the high chance of death early. He had only been nine when his mother had died, saving a civilian from a car accident.
But Kurt knew there was no way he could not be a super hero. Even without his powers he would still want to help people, he had inherited his dad's strict sense of right and wrong. He had learnt from his dad that helping the weak, the victims, always being honest and fair was what good people did.
But there's a chance Blue Note was out of his depth. The Fury was usually a second rate villain but today he had really stepped up his game. Blue Note's sai were stubbornly attached to a giant magnet hanging from the ceiling (as were his keys!)
He had been thrown into a buzzing glowing white circle of light that had robbed him of his powers. It was a 'Mundane Field' something he was sure The Fury would not have been able to create himself. He was helpless, his body weak from the absence of powers that had been a part of him since birth and pain wracked through his body from the harsh electric current that shocked him whenever he tried to leave the field.
The Fury seemed to know all of his powers, and exactly how to combat them. The teleportation, the illusions, he only stared and laughed at the superhuman flexibility and agility. It was creepy, Blue Note felt exposed, stalked, like he was one more uncovered mystery away from being Kurt Hummel again. It scared him, the only ones who knew his secret identity were his dad, Mercedes and The Warbler, who Kurt had recognised and who had recognised him whilst both as their human alter egos.
The boy had been so cute in his classy, tailored work suit. He had blushed when he had recognised Kurt, and there had always been pretty strong rumours that he was gay. Kurt holds on to that thought as the Fury stalks closer. He has a strange contraption in his hands, made of metal with odd red, green and blue wires criss-crossing around it. Kurt would have said it was a bomb, but there were no explosives, only a grey helmet attached to the bottom. Blue Note tries to struggle backwards, if he can just reach the edge of the field, breathe through the searing pain to get a hand out he can create an illusion, but he collapses inches from the edge.
The Fury was grinning smugly as he reached the edge of the field and passes through unharmed. He reaches over to the barely moving Blue Note and moves to slip the helmet onto his head. It fits on perfectly, and he wonders if The Fury had it custom made for him. A clasp goes under his chin to keep it in place, and he can feel the sensation of something closing a tight rasp onto his mind. This is a mind altering machine! What is The Fury trying to do to him?
The mammoth man steps back, and it is Kurt that feels the cold shiver of fear as The Fury strokes a finger down his cheek, slowly, as if savouring the touch. The Fury leaves the Circle with Kurt's cerulean mask in his hand and Kurt's lips are burning from a harsh, unwanted kiss. He doesn't know what's going on. The Fury is gay? Why is he doing this?
Thankfully The Fury s one of those super villains that enjoy monologing.
"You look so pretty without your mask on," he says, tucking the mask into his waist band, his thumb stroking over the material rhythmically, "But you always look pretty to me, Blue, so perfect."
Kurt's eyes widened, he tried even harder to struggle back but he could move even less with the helmet on.
"I always watched you, hoping you would see me and realise we belonged together. That one time I rammed you against the dumpster and your eyes closed because I was so close to you. We belong together."
Kurt gaped, he remembered that, the dumpster had had a sharp edge and had cut through his costume to skin. He had closed his eyes to the pain. The Fury had tried to rob a bank, but Blue Note had stopped him and he had been in jail until he was broken out by Ape, The Fury's partner in crime who could turn into an enormous vicious ape at will. Kurt had not given it a second thought after that.
"But I knew you would be too conflicted with those stupid hero feelings to love me like you should, so I'm saving you. I have a plan." He moved over to a curtain and yanked it back viciously. Behind it is a mannequin dressed in a beautiful, intricate wedding dress. Kurt had heard rumours of wedding dresses being stolen but the superhero duo M and M (also called Thunder and Lightning) had been taking care of it. He had not given it any thought.
Kurt stared at the dress and The Fury, terrified, his mind whirring trying to find a way of out. He could not think, his mind was growing blanker and blanker the more he lay in the field with this helmet on his head, invading his thoughts.
"I love you." The Fury grinned, eyes earnest, ignoring Kurt's horrified expression. "And I know you love me too."
He walked over to the computers lining the walls of his lair and stretched out a hand over a big red button, "I just need to show you that."
His hand pushes down on the button and the wedding dress gleams like a star or one of Kurt's illusions.
check it out, this is actually busting 1000 words! :) haha, please tell me you get who the other superheroes are, even the ones only mentioned, i like to think it's pretty obvious, but i put quite a bit of thought into them, thier names (and although it's not mentioned) their powers. :)
I actually have all of this planned out, who has powers, who doesn't, what powers they have, how they fight, who they fight with, even what their costumes look like! :D it's alot of fun! :) i've been trying to do some art for it, but the only ones that turned out well were the ones that were hand drawn pencil 'n' paper style, and my scanner is broken, so i can't upload any of them. If somebody else wants to do art, just ask and i'll give you designs, :) that would be amazing, btw! :)
Who will save Kurt from being brainwashed and married to The Fury! Tune in next time for the conclusion to this epic adventure!
You get a friend in me, oh, you got a friend in me, so just remember what your old pal said, you got a friend in me (so review) you got a friend in me (just review!) you got a friend in me!
