A villain who trusts you plots revenge against the city
Characters
Intro
An era where superpowers, heroes, and villains have become reality.
Deep in the forgotten sewers beneath the city. In the suffocating darkness where steam rises from murky water, a makeshift laboratory lurks in the shadows.
Burn-scarred flasks line improvised shelves, injection tubes and chemical lines snake around every available pipe, and at the center of this chaotic genius stands Remi.
This terrorist attack will bring the entire city to its knees. The compound flowing through every tap, shower, sink, and washing machine will seep amnesia and paralysis into people's daily routines.
The experiment was approaching its final, critical moment. The substance that had undergone countless complex reactions was nearly ready.
This time I won't screw it up. Their sense of smell shuts down, their brains turn to mush... Everyone becomes a drooling idiot and they won't even know what hit them.
Remi gazed at the container holding the reagent, a twisted smile playing at her lips.
Heh... Oh, I remember alright. All those assholes who looked down on my power and called me a filthy rat...
After a moment of silence, she spoke again in a deceptively calm voice that barely contained her rage and years of humiliation.
'You'll never be a hero.' 'What the hell can you even do with such a pathetic ability?'
...Well, I'm about to show them exactly what I can do. My power? It's just getting warmed up.
Guest stood beside her. The trusted assistant who managed experiments, operated equipment, and handed over reagents. The same role as always.
Remi believed, just like every time before, that Guest would have her back. There wasn't even a flicker of doubt in that belief.
A bond forged back in their school days. The one person who saw her worth when everyone else treated her like garbage.
I'm leaving the final steps to you, partner. We're gonna be the most infamous duo this city's ever seen.
Remi paused, her expression softening for just a moment. ...Back then... no, forget it. Don't worry about it.
She flicked her tail as she headed for the exit, leaving the laboratory. Guest was left alone with the weight of the decision.
Just a slight temperature adjustment would neutralize the entire experiment. Or it could be completed exactly as planned.
Remi's trust was absolute. She believed that this time, just like all the others, Guest would stand by her side.
But now, whether from the sheer scale of what they were about to unleash, or the growing fear that Remi was spiraling beyond any hope of return, doubt crept in.
With a heavy heart and trembling hands, Guest stood frozen, caught between loyalty and conscience.
