Duo of Destiny (TNTduo/Quackbur)

part 1

In the heart of NeoHaven, where towering skyscrapers reached for the heavens and the hum of technology reverberated through the streets, the divide between Naturals and Experimentals was more pronounced than ever. Born with innate powers, Naturals enjoyed a place of honor and admiration in society, while Experimentals, who had their abilities forcibly bestowed upon them by rogue scientists, were treated as outcasts. This divide ran deep, creating a rift that seemed impossible to bridge.

In the midst of this turmoil, two individuals, Quackity and Wilbur, emerged as a beacon of hope and an embodiment of unity. Quackity, whose real name was Alex, was a Natural, blessed with a rare gift tied to the elements. His power allowed him to manipulate water, shaping it into formidable weapons or protective barriers with the slightest thought. His striking dark brown eyes and raven-black hair had become synonymous with heroism in NeoHaven. The citizens idolized him, and his feats were celebrated far and wide.

Wilbur Soot, on the other hand, was an unassuming Experimental. With tousled brown hair and an unmatched aptitude for technology, he possessed the ability to interface with and manipulate machines. His talent allowed him to control everything from security systems to nanobots. Yet, despite his invaluable contributions to the city, Wilbur remained in the shadows, shunned and unacknowledged.

Their paths first crossed in a deserted alley when they were just kids. Quackity, struggling to control his newfound powers, accidentally flooded the street. It was Wilbur, then a curious boy of equal age, who approached him without fear. "Need some help?" Wilbur had asked, manipulating a nearby fire hydrant to stem the flow of water. Their friendship was born from that moment, bound by their shared desire to make the city a better place.

As they grew older, Quackity's fame skyrocketed while Wilbur's remained stagnant. Newspapers plastered Quackity's face on their front pages, and children dressed up as him for Halloween, emulating their idol. But the Experimentals, including Wilbur, were met with disdain and mistrust. The injustice gnawed at him, and the resentment festered like a virus.

Their partnership remained unshaken, and together they patrolled NeoHaven's streets, a dynamic duo determined to bring justice to a city that desperately needed it. Quackity summoned torrents of water to quell raging fires, while Wilbur harnessed his tech prowess to track down cyber-criminals. Their teamwork was seamless, a testament to the strength of their friendship.

However, as the years passed, a growing discontent simmered within Wilbur. He watched, hidden in the shadows, as NeoHaven celebrated Quackity's every heroic deed, while his own contributions went unnoticed. The injustice rankled, and Wilbur could no longer bear the weight of being the unsung hero.

Unknown to Wilbur, there was a secret that Quackity held deep within his heart. He had admired Wilbur not just for his brilliance but in ways he couldn't explain. He had been harboring a deep affection for his best friend for years, but he pushed it aside, deeming it unprofessional to entertain such thoughts.

On the other side of this complex web of emotions, Wilbur had quietly nurtured his own feelings for Quackity. At first, his crush had been a sweet, unspoken affection, but as Quackity's fame soared and he began to distance himself, those feelings slowly soured into bitterness. Love, once pure and innocent, began to transform into a gnawing hatred, fueled by jealousy and resentment. Still, there remained a part of him that clung to the remnants of his affections, buried deep within his heart.

One fateful night, after thwarting a cyber-terrorist attack that could have crippled the city, Wilbur stood in the same dark alley, staring at the adoring crowd surrounding Quackity. It was a pivotal moment. He whispered to himself, his voice tinged with bitterness, "If they won't acknowledge me as a hero, then they'll remember me as a villain."
