The Villain With a Heart

Chapter one; Home after a long night

    Silver walked into the house that night a little after 10:30. But it wasn't the fact he heard a bathroom door close from his sons room, or the fact the Dixie (the small black cocker spaniel), was running around just ecstatic to see him after such a long day, it wasn't even the fact he smelled something burning coming from the kitchen. But what surprised him the most, was the fact Hotbur was angerly marching to their room, just as he saw Hotbur throw their crimson red cape aggressively at the couch as they walked through the Livingroom. In fact, Hotbur didn't even acknowledge the fact Silver was home, standing in the door way as he was shutting the door. It was obvious Hotbur was pissed, especially by the fact she aggressively stomp-ran to his room, slamming the door shut.

    "Uh.. What was that all about?" The man still dressed in his villain costume, voice changer and all, questioned, turning to Scott who had just appeared next to him. Before Scott got a chance to answer, there was a loud bang and an furious scream. If Silver didn't know better he would have gone to the room of the other grown adult in the house. He almost did, thankfully Scott grabbed his wrist, stopping him. "I left for an afternoon and suddenly Hotbur's pissed, you're obviously upset, and.." He stopped, brows furrowed as he took another whiff of the air around them. "Is something burning?" The tall man questioned, obviously concerned. He was just now noticing the bit of smoke coming from the kitchen.

    "Uhm.. We should talk dad.." Scott let go of his fathers hand, leaving him confused, concerned, and almost a little scared of what they were to talk about. Still wearing his black and white mask, he followed his son over to the couch. Removing the half black half white mask from his head, revealing his face, he remembered he needed to change.

    "I'm going to shower first and we can talk. Promise." With that Silver walked away, he went to his room, showered, changed and went back out to Scott downstairs.

    "Soo.." Silver started, sitting down on the chair to the left of the couch.

    The trans boy started with a sigh, as if mentally preparing himself for this. There was a long silence, leaving a thick cloud of to many emotions in the air. "We uh.. We saw Arrow today.." Silver winced at the mention of that name. The shock left, being quickly replaced by anger.. And worry.

    "What?" The single word was quiet, but stern. That one single word was more of the shock passing than an actual question. "What happened?" Silver was filling with anger and worry.

    "Well.. He decided to have a "chat" with Hotbur.. Told me and Mac to stay out of it.. Irritated us both even more." Another pause, as if to let the thoughts and questions linger in the air for a moment. "He locked Hotbur in a fire circle." This infuriated Silver. "Said.." Scott paused, as if hesitant to say this to the already irritated man. "Said that he "needed a moment to calm down." " The boys jaw was tight as he spoke, his eyes never leaving the floor after seeing how much hate was in his fathers eyes. "I tried getting closer to him to fight him. Or at least make him let Hotbur go." Once again, he paused, letting all the emotions and questions still linger in the air. "I couldn't get to him so Mac teleported up to him," Silver recalled knowing Arrow could levitate, not far up but he used his fire to make him go higher. "He teleported right next to Arrow, grabbed him holding onto him. It made Arrow almost fall completely, he didn't. Sadly. But the fire thing around Hotbur started to become less strong.. Mac hit him on the head real hard," the son smiled. "Just after that he teleported again in the same spot, kicked Arrow to the ground, then teleported back next to me right as Hotbur was freed. Blue was there too of course." Silver's lips curled into a small smile hearing what Mac did, and that Hotbur was free. But they immediately turned into a snarl when he heard "Blue". Blue and Arrow were way to close for anyone's liking. But Blue was his healer, so where ever that bastard, went Blue wasn't far behind. "Blue immediately went to heal him. Before she could finish Mac teleported us out, we just got back not that long ago. Hence Hotbur'ss.." Scott carried on Hotbur's name as if deciding to finish the sentence or not. "Tantrum." Scott paused once again, as if recalling the whole fight. "Arrow can't stop talking shit Jesus. He kept saying it was "all our fault" and that "we needed to calm down," it was all a load of bullshit." He finished it after all.
