And I'm back with not one but two drabbles, I am on a roll :D
Anyway, this one goes out to an awesome friend of mine, AuthenticAussie, who writes amazing MarcoAceSabo [MAS], MarAce, AceSabo and definitely deserves a look see if you get a chance!
She asked for two Prompts involving a Superhero AU,
"You've been caught. There's nothing more you can do, so why are you still fighting?"
"I wish you could see your worth."
it was an either or, but I did both cuz I just could not, the second drabble is under the line. Enjoy!~
Disclaimer, I own nothing One Piece related, or any other referenced material.
"You've been caught. There's nothing more you can do, so why are you still fighting?" Sabo asked with the lightest hint of exasperation in his voice.
"Because if I just lie here and let you take me in, it sends the wrong message to my fans." Ace replied with a tone that said it should have been painfully obvious.
"You're a villain! You don't have any fans, you dork." Sabo said, reminding Ace for the millionth time. "In order to have fans you have to be a hero."
Ace scoffed, "There's no rules to this game Blue, villains can have a fanbase too."
"Listen guys, as amusing as it is to watch the two of you have a deep and meaningful discussion of fandoms and their people, I should be getting home, yoi." a third voice broke in between the squabbling hero and bad guy.
The pair turned to the third person in the vault who was tied to the swivel chair, and looking as if he would rather be anywhere else.
"Marco!" Ace smiled as if he hadn't just tied him up only minutes prior to the Blue Rebel showing up. "You're on my side right, you'd be my fan."
Marco's mouth opened to answer Ace, but before he could even get a breath out, Sabo cut in. "You tied Marco up, again? Seriously Spade, how many times do we have to go over this? Keep Marco–actually every civilian–out of your schemes."
"I told him to stay home today!" Ace retorted, crossing his arms over his chest. "And I can't go around showing favoritism by letting him go, so I had to tie him up like the rest of them."
"And bring him to the safe with you?" Sabo asked.
"He's the only one that knows the combination!" Ace explained indignantly.
"Actually, Penguin, Robin, and Coby also know the combination to the safe, yoi." Marco supplied from his seat.
Sabo's shoulders slumped and Ace was pretty sure Sabo was aiming a quirked brow in his direction, so the villain shrugged his bare shoulder, "Besides, I prefer Marco's company. The one with the hat only talks about the Surgeon and how he wished it was him tying him up, Robin unnerves me, and Coby wets his pants, are you really telling me that you want to save someone that wets their pants Blue?"
Ace saw a quick shiver go down Sabo's spine, and grinned in triumph. "That's not what I mean here Spade! A civilian is a civilian, you shouldn't tie any of them up!"
"But if I don't they run away!" Ace pouted.
"Speaking of running away, I really should be heading home soon, yoi. Oyaji's on this new medication where he needs to take it every night before dinner and he tends to 'forget'." Marco spoke up again gesturing uselessly to his bindings as well as he could in his current state.
"Oh what are you guys having for dinner?" Ace asked his mood lifting despite the situation, "How's the old fart doing anyway?"
"The doctors say he's actually getting better, yoi." Marco supplied "In fact the medicine is extra precaution for a follow–"
"Spade!" Sabo cut in, "I care about Oyaji as must as the next guy, but when we put on our masks, we aren't who we are. Get back on track will you?" he scolded, "The faster we get this over with, the sooner Marco can go home to tend to Oyaji."
"Well I'm not letting you take me in." Ace huffed. "I got this far so I can't just give up now."
Sabo rolled his eyes, "Of course you can't."
"Hey Ace," both set of eyes fell on Marco, "I'm not your fan. I'm your number one fan, yoi."
Ace grinned and charged into the showdown between Spade and Blue Rebel.
"I wish you could see your worth." Sabo sighed as he sat upon Ace. Another showdown between the two supers had seen Blue as the victor this time around. "You'd make a great Hero Spade, so why don't you just leave the villainy behind?"
"Do you really have to sit on me, Blue?" Ace asked rather irritated and buckled under Sabo, but the blonde only laughed.
"Can't have you escaping again, Spade, besides the fight was fair and square. Now I believe you owe Marco an apology for tying him up, again?"
"The fight was not fair, you cheated and used the extension feature on your pipe!" Ace protested, "I woulda won if you hadn't done that and you know it!"
Sabo chuckled, "All fair in love and war Spade, how many times must we go over that?"
"And I thought I was the evil villain here." Ace muttered, but soon after relented looking over to where his hostage sat in his chair. "I'm sorry Marco! But you gotta admit, the chair is much more comfortable this time, huh?"
Marco rolled his eyes, but nodded all the same, "Yes it is, thank you for taking my input into consideration, yoi."
"Chair comfort aside, why did you take Marco? You didn't even rob the bank this time, you hit up the candy shop three blocks from it." Sabo asked,
"Because they got in a shipment of those awesome blue candies that Marco loves but will never admit, much less buy for himself so I abducted him." Ace said as if it should have been the obvious explanation.
"I was going to let him go as soon as I gave him his share of the candy!" Ace added when he felt Sabo's eyes on him.
Sabo on the othe rhand sighed, "Times like these are what make me wonder how you're even considered a villain."
"Because I'm a no good rotten crook? At least that's what Gramps says." Ace supplied and shrugged a shoulder, "Besides if I'm a Hero, then I can't do cool things like steal candies cuz I can, or listen to the mayor's briefings, and all the other boring junk that comes with being a Hero. Seriously you're the Blue Rebel how come you aren't a villain? I'm honestly surprised people let you be a Hero with that name."
Sabo rolled his eyes, "Because doing good is rewarding, Spade, think of all the good you could do if you chose to be a Hero."
"But then I couldn't kidnap Marco." Ace reasoned.
Sabo let his head fall into his open palm with an audible smack. And Marco chuckled. "It would be rather interesting to see you as a Hero, Spade. But I have a feeling we'd see each other less if you were to turn to a life of good, yoi."
"See Blue! Marco agrees!"
"Darn it Marco don't encourage him!" Sabo exclaimed, but a smile was on his lips all the same.
I had no angst in me for these guys, they are such adorable dorks I just could't this time around lol.
Let me know what you think, yes?
Till next time!~
