Writing Prompts

Captured

**So I grabbed a prompt from Reddit and I decided to write a little tid bit. Let me know what you think.**

Prompt: r/SimplePrompts, Posted by u/StarWarsCrazy1

"I walk a path far more noble than you ever could."

(Hero/Villain potential for whump. TW for needles and sedation)

Hero glared up at Villain as they were hoisted off the ground by the collar. Villain gained the upper hand in their fight and now Hero was spent and too weak to fight back. Villain just smirked at the pathetic being in their grasp, satisfied with finally beating them into submission. Gently, Villain placed their other hand on the side of Hero's face, the pad of their thumb lightly brushing the other's swollen cheek.

"Look at you now, hero," Villain mocked. "Despite your efforts, you still fell to the likes of me. Your once noble facade finally snuffed out by your devastating failure. Practically erased".

Hero spat back at Villain with venom in their words. "It was never a facade. You can't beat the good out of me. I walk a path far more noble than you ever could!"

Villain just tsked their disappointment and dragged Hero to the closest wall and shoved them up against it one handed. "Like I said before darling, you and I have different views of the term 'noble'". Villain ignored Hero's vain struggles to get free as they ruffled through their own coat pocket with their free hand. "Despite me trying to educate you on my point of view, you still believe that your 'good doer' behavior puts you above people like me who think in the morally gray area of life. Whereas I have tossed some outdated morals and the need for others to the side in the name of reaching loftier aspirations".

"Just because you're smarter than most, doesn't mean you don't need people or that you are better!" Hero growled. They fought back a whimper of pain from the injuries they gained from the fight, no longer struggling under Villain's hand.

Villain just rolled their eyes at Hero's statement as they finally fished the syringe they were looking for out of their pocket. Hero watched as Villain took the protective cap off the needle with their teeth before realizing what Villain was about to do. Hero locked eyes with Villain and the look in their eyes was confirmation enough for their blood to run cold. Hero's defiance was restored and they started to thrash harder against Villain.

Villain paused when Hero started fighting again, noting their eyes were flickering between Villain themself and the syringe in their hand. Letting out a soft chuckle, Villain raised a questioning eyebrow to their new prisoner. "Aww, Hero," they said with mocking sweetness. "Are we afraid of a little needle?"

Before Hero could respond, they felt the small jab in the side of their neck. They hissed as the stinging pain gave way to blurred vision and world spinning. Hero made one last desperate attempt to fight before their body became too heavy to move. Darkness was taking over their vision as they felt Villain maneuver so they could carry them.

Villain just smiled to themselves as Hero succumbed to the sedative. "Come on, my little knight", they cooed to the sleeping hero, "since you love helping others, you can help me with a few experiments".
