After dancing for about an hour, Fink brought KO over to the line for the Villain Prom pictures. It's mostly like the same like in regular Prom, but you can either have a background of an apocalypse or do a little roleplay as an evil professor and his minion. And for Fink's personal favorite, you can pretend to have captured a hero. Which was gonna be her plan for this picture as she'd have KO 'pretend' to be a hero she captured, how fitting that he was a hero and was basically held against his will.
"So B.O., are you enjoying the night so far?" she asked in a feign cutesy manner, with a couple fluttering of her eyelashes. Both to make it more believable she was dating a fellow villain, and because she felt an strange need to be cute to this goober.
The disguised KO rubbed the back of his neck with an uncomfortable look in his face, "Well, I've seen more skin and cleavage than in a strip club. The floor is sticky with alcohol and bodily fluids, I've seen more legal and health code violations than in an underground seafood restaurant. And it smells in here" he gagged while pinching his nose, "like a jungle monkey after running a marathon."
"What?" he heard the guy in front of him who turned out to be a humanoid monkey in a gangster style jumpsuit with a number '4' pinned to the front, he also had a bit of an offended look "So now it's illegal to exercise? Why is everyone so jumpy?" he shook his head as he turned around.
"Don't mind Kreg, he's been a little jumpy since he had run-in with a hero after robbing a jewelry store." Fink told her date.
KO leaned in and whispered in her ear, "I know, that was me."
While these two were waiting for the pictures, watching them from a distance was Mala with a burning glare directed at the rodent's head. She was sure that she wouldn't have any competition for Prom Queen while Fink was crying into a tub of ice cream in the bathtub, Fink was the only one to ever compete with her in terms of looks and villainy. Helps that her boss Venomous bought out Mala's three times, something that Mala hasn't forgotten. But now she waltz in here with some new wolf boy that puts all their other classmates to shame, if only she hadn't left her portable doomsday device at home.
Though she did have a sneaking suspicion on her rival's date, just something nagging at her that she's met him before. No one at any of the rival schools have even heard of this 'B.O.', and apparently this is the first time anyone has really seen him. "What are you hiding B.O.? If that even IS your real name, there's something not right." she lowly growled.
"Hey, babe."
Mala jumped and composed herself as she faced her new boyfriend and prom date, "Oh nothing, Devon Ramgo. Soon to be king of hell and senior captain of the varsity football team, lacross team, soccer team, boxing team, cage-fighting team, espiongage squad, and head of the hackers club." she listed off the accomplishments of Devon, of was a red humanoid demon with long silver hair with horns on the side of her head, he wore a red tuxedo to the festivities.
"You weren't just sending burning daggers to Fink were you?" he questioned with a raised eyebrow, "I swear you guys have been fighting since you were in middle school, why can't you guys just be friends?"
Mala waved him off, "Please, like I'd ever be even acquaintances with that rodent slut. I was right to dump her during that heist to Hexagon."
"Actually, she left you to die." he reminded her.
"AS IF I COULD FORGET!" she snapped, Devon reared back in a defensive manner.
(With Fink and KO)
"Well, that was fun. And these pictures turned out nicely, don't you think?" Fink said with a smile as she showed KO the prom photos they just took, which mostly consisted of Fink playing a devious scientist torturing KO playing a hero. With actual torture devices, KO was still reeling from the traps he swore were ripped off by those soap opera like movies with a mad man giving people destructive life therapy.
"Yeah, very nicely." he squeaked out before putting his mask back on, good thing no one recognized his werewolf form. "Why do you guys have a real laser?"
"It makes it more authentic, we villains don't half ass stuff like this. Besides, you made it out in one piece." she said while playfully punching his shoulder, but still caused him to rub the spot where she punched.
"Okay, you got your pictures. Now we just get your crown so we can leave, I have a lot of unpleasant images to rid my mind of." KO aggravatedly said as he dragged her to their table, the two then looked around to see if anyone was eavesdropping. Luckily nobody seemed to be listening with the rave music and lord-knows what else is going on.
"You know, you could at least try to pretend to have a good time." she dully said to him.
KO rolled his eyes, "Well I'm if I seem a little sour, I'm basically being forced against my will to a party that's way too vulgar and filled with illegal activity for me. Meanwhile my friends and family are being held captive by one of the most notorious scientists on Earth and a mad man who comes up with new and creative ways to destroy my place of business, so I apologize if I'm not in the party mood." he ranted.
Fink scoffed, "You think I wanted to spend the most important night of my life babysitting a man-child goody two-shoes loser?"
"Then why did you even bring me here in the first place?!" he snapped, though even he was kind of loud nobody can hear them over the music. Although some that were in a modest proximity can still vaguely make out what they were saying, but couldn't quite make out their words.
Fink just growled, "I gotta kick a race donkey." Fink stomped away out of the dance hall, KO just hmphed as he walked to the opposite direction to a wall.
"Women!"
"Tell me about it."
GAH! KO jumped when he turned to his side to see who said that-
"Devon?"
The teen demon looked surprised for a moment, "How did you know my- wait!" the two then looked to each other in realization. "K-" the disguise hero quickly slapped his hand over the demon's mouth and dragged him out in the hall. After running a good distance away he released the guy's mouth and gasped, "KO! What are you doing here?! This is Villain Prom! If anyone sees you, you'll be torn to shreds in five seconds!"
KO sighed as he took off his half-mask and put on his human rubber mask, "I don't know man, Fink dragged me here after her boss and his business partner kidnapped my family and friends. I don't know what's going on with her but she was being extremely weird, and I don't think I can take another second of what's going on back in that dance!"
"Fink? Like mutant rat girl Fink? Minion of Professor Venomous?" Devon asked in wonder.
"That's the one, how do you know her?" KO raised an eyebrow.
"Jeez, I figured she was nuts in the guys she picked but I never thought she would want to get it on with a good guy. Much less the Number 1 hero of 201XX, just when I think I knew everything about her." Devon rubbed his head, he then said "But to answer your question, Fink and I used to date."
"Really?"
"Yeah, we had one of those on again and off again types of relationships. We're done one week and then back together the next, fights and make-up make-outs in a seemingly endless cycles. But recently, I think it's now on off permanently."
"Oh, so that's why she brought me here. She probably wanted to make you jealous after you broke up with her so that she can take you back!" he claimed, he then chuckled to himself "Oh that makes a lot more sense, why else would she bring a good guy like me to a high school event for bad guys?" he then realized, "Oh wait, I don't think you were supposed to know that." he slapped his hands over his mouth with his eyes wider than saucers.
Devon looked surprised at his accidental confession, but not for the reason KO was expecting. "What? Why would she want to make me jealous? Every time we try to rebuild our romance it never ends well, I could have sworn she would have moved on after she dumped."
KO was now the one in surprise, "Wait a minute, Fink dumped you?"
(Venomous spit out his drink after hearing that, Boxman let out a big "WHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAT?". KO's friends and family were all shocked at this revelation, even the robots were blowing their heads after hearing this. Raymond uttered out a small 'Plot twiiiiiiist')
"Yeah, for real this time. I still have the scorch mark from when she drove a flaming steak at me." he said pulling up his jacket to show the pretty big gash on his hip, though it healed quickly for his being a demon it still left a big scar. "It was actually a rotation thing on who dumped who, but this time it was me that got dumped into a dumpster. Which she also did before pushing it off a cliff."
KO was then even more confused, "But then why did she drag me here? Why do any of that stuff just to bring me to a dance for villains?"
Devon shrugged, "Beats me man, although she has talked a lot about you during our past dates."
"She has?" KO questioned.
"Yeah, any chance she had she'd mention some 'loser hero' that works at some 'dumb hero store' that always breaks her toys of mass destruction. And I swore I saw a picture of you on a dart board in her room with kiss marks all over it, and she always seemed angry yet happy when she talks about you. You're all she ever talks about, call me crazy but maybe she..."
"Likes me?" KO shook his head, "That's insane, we have nothing in common! I'm a chivalrous hero, she's a conniving winch who's burned down three orphanages."
"So, that doesn't mean anything. Hell, my dad is the king of the ACTUAL realm of hell while my mom is a literal angel. Just because one person's good and the other is evil, doesn't immediately disqualify a possibility. We may be villains, but we too have feelings."
KO looked downed, "I... I don't know."
"Yeah, trying to decipher her is like trying to disarm a bomb. Anyway, I got to run. Mala's probably waiting for me, and go back to Werewolf Phantom of the Opera, B.O." Devon told him before heading back to the main area of Prom. KO held his head in his hands as he sat on a nearby staircase, he thought he found out why he was brought here. But then after talking to Devon, he had a massive headache.
"THERE YOU ARE!" speak of the devil, not literally. He looked up to see Fink with a furious expression on her face, "Where were you, the Prom king and Queen competition is about to start!"
KO just stood up and looked at her with the most serious look on his face, Fink's fury diminished and turned frightened at the glare he was giving her. "Fink, I know everything."
She went wide eyed at that, 'Son of a bitch!'
