"Wait here." I say giving the smaller girl a look. "Okay, mamma." She sat down on a bar stool and watched the TV closely.
I step behind the bar and open the tall oak door. "You better have a good reason to call Dahlia and I here." I snap seeing the taller guy. He had dark black hair with small curls at the end and dark black eyes. Fitting for a snake like John. "Hi Casey, how you been? Still playing mommy?" "What'd you want, John? Is there a mission or am I here for you to just piss me off?" I snap attempting to control my attitude. He laughs happily, "Both!" He claps his hands opening a secret compartment I knew too well. "To the lab? Why not bring the kid, there's lots of things for her to play with," He smiles psychotically. I sign and open the door, "Dolly, come on You and Mommy have work to do." She skips in holding her stuffed bear, "Hi, Uncle John!" She skips pass the snake into the secret room, "If Dolly gets hurt on this one I'll have your head on a platter."
When we got down the steps I notice Dahlia had already changed putting weapons and such on her utility belt beside her bear. She was too cute sometimes... "Mommy! Can I use my bear this time?" She grins a big toothless smile. I frown remembering how she lost her two front teeth. A 'hero' kicked her in her mouth, I was pissed, John had to take Dahlia for a week as I tortured the asshole.
"Sure baby." I grab my suit and walk to the changing room noticing John do the same into another one. "Where do you think your going? " I ask glaring. "You were my sidekick before getting her and your still my side kick now. I'm going with you. " He then walked into the room and slammed the door shut. I glare at the door then went to changed myself. It was a black outfit that hugged my body, it allowed movement and the hood covered my face, I was now, The Phantom.
The crystal sat on a pedestal in the center of the room, Why John wanted this was beyond me but by the determined look on his face I knew it was important. We had gotten pass all the cameras and lasers and was on the roof when 'heroes' show up. "Okay, just hand over the crystal and no one gets hurt." One sneers arrogantly. "But that doesn't sound fun." John pouts then uses his sword to trip the captain. I quickly pull loose my staff as two come running at me, twins. I whack one on the head then proceeded to whack his brother in between his legs making him fall. I look over at Dahlia to see her fighting one on her own, pretty much her tricking the bigger guy to hit himself. I feel someone grab my shoulders and I quickly throw them over me. I glare pointing my staff at him, "If you don't run, I'm going to shove this staff up your-" "Phantom! Language!" John, otherwise known as Wither yells at me.
I glare at him heatedly. "Glaring won't help you either!"
I felt my hands began to tingle, my gift coming to life. I slowly went in and out of visibility, I had went Ghost-mode running straight at the two men shoving them off the roof. I feel arms wrap around my leg. "Mommy I got him," Dahlia giggles. I turn to see Dahlia's bear, a invention John and myself created, holding the larger struggling hero. "Good job, my little Weeping Willow," I praised my daughter. "Tell your commander I have his 'weakness' and if he doesn't do something quick... I might start using it." John says to the buff hero darkly before taking him from the bear dangling him over the edge of the building, "say bye bye Willow." John whispers. "Bye bye." With that he let him fall.
We aren't good people, not by far. We were simply one thing, villains, every good hero has a even better villain.
