Chapter 2: A villainous meeting( part 1)
'Just ignore them' Hanna breathed as she walked down the main street, plainly aware of the stares directed to her. Usually she went out at night , where seeing other vagrants are common place.
She felt really uncomfortable with her scars exposed. At least the pair of gloves hid the brutal parts of them. "Hey lady what happened to your arms?" She jumped as a kid asked her. They sucked loudly on a lollipop.
"I- burned t-them" She hated going out. But unfortunately the drug store was not open at nights. The dark had always made her feel safe. Now more than ever.
"Jimmy!" A woman pulled the kid away from her "What did I say about talking to strangers?!"
"But mom she has cool scars!"
His mother looked at Hanna. The disgust on her face is as clear as day.
"S-sorry…sorry I have t-to get some medicine!" Hanna sped up away from the mother and son. Her heart was beating in her chest as she made it inside the tiny drugstore.
She breathed in the oddly relaxing smell of disinfectant. After a moment she checked through the isles. She took her time careful not to rouse suspicion.
She checked the medicine for high strength sleep medication. But they only had a few weak strength pills. 'Stupid crap' she sneered at the drugs. 'The meth lab next door makes better stuff than this'. But it had to do. She grabbed a few boxes .Making sure she was in the cameras blind spot she stowed a box in her jacket pocket.
It wasn't name brand but she could make a good buck selling these.
How else was she supposed to survive?
She was declared dead to the world. No one could've survived that explosion but she did. And now look at her a poor filthy woman being chased by her inner demons. Why bother returning to that world of heroes ? If anyone from her past saw her they would say she was better off dead.
And she will agree with them.
She went to pay for the medication, the cashier unaware of the box of sleeping pills in her jacket pocket. Thankfully they were too busy looking at the mini TV on the counter.
Everything was peaceful for the few moments it took for the person to ring up their purchase. "That'll be -!"The cashier's lazy voice was interrupted as a neon blur crashed through the window .
It bounced, pinging around the place, smashing into a few shelves.
As it soared through the air four limbs popped out of the fuzzy blur.
'SKREEEE' it skidded to a stop using it's four limbs right next to Hanna. The large puffball of neon hair shook like a dog sending glass shards everywhere. On closer inspection , there was a lizard hat perched on top with a pink bang sticking out.
"You filthy hero!" The puffball screamed, startling the tiny woman next to it. It shook glass shards out of its green mane. "You think that'll kill me ?! Hah!" A woman came out of the fluff. Hanna stared in horror as she recognized the woman with large hair , the punk outfit and the black nails.
A crazed villainous whose destructive capabilities had her labeled by the hero association as a living weapon. A person whose kill count was in the millions , who could level down a city in mere minutes. A person who worked under the worst of the worse.
'What is she doing here?!' Hanna started to panic . If she's here then where was him?!
However her train of thought was interrupted by a loud guffaw. The infamous Villainess Dementia let out a growl as a bulky hero wearing a bright red spandex suit flew in holding a thin paper bag wearing man in his hand. He was badly beat up , weakly struggling against the hero's grip around his thin neck.
" Hah!" the hero spat as her threw the man on the ground . Hanna gasped as the man's body slammed in the ground next to her, the impact creating a creator in the tiled floor.
"Flug, stop being such a wuss and get back up!" she heard the villainess hissed at the human wreck, which only replied with a grain.
" Flug?! As in Dr. Flug?!" Hanna uncontrollably exclaimed. Immediately she. Covered her mouth with both hands, trying desperately to blend back in her surroundings. At least the clerk was smart enough to escape when the hero showed up.
Both of them were notorious villains! They rarely left any witnesses to their various crimes…Well , they did but not alive.
She hoped to god that she went unnoticed.
Unfortunately her prayers went in answered as Dementia looked her way , a wild sneer on her face. "S-sorry !"She shrilled as the villainess let out a feral growl. It was as paralyzing as a tigers roar, a frequency so low Hanna thought her heart had stopped.
"Don't worry citizen , your hero Magma-man is here!" the spandex wearing hero declared," These puny villains are no match for me! "
"That's not it!" Hanna snapped eyes darting for any sign of him.
Every new hero was given a strict course on which villains the association can apprehend. You have to be cleared to take in rank S villains like Dementia or Dr. Flug . Those that are cleared however are not foolish enough to fight them. Those that do go missing or worse found dead.
But that was not the main reason.
The main reason is that they worked directly under the most evil , the most vile villain in the world.
No , the universe. A being of mysterious origins , possibly beyond demonic and his name stroke fear into any hero either a rookie or a veteran. Only someone with rotten luck would be foolish to cross the terrifying, horrific existence rumored to be as strong as the mysterious CEO of the hero association.
Why , Hanna couldn't fathom how desperate a person would be to sell their soul to the entity closer to the devil on earth!
Unknown to this fallen hero the following events will lead Hanna, willingly to his door steps.
