Prompt:You're an old retired supervillian that lives the American dream of white picket fences and large lawns, but lately the superheroes of the world have turned evil... and only you can stop them.

'Ahh, what a beautiful day to relax,' I think as I lay back in my lawn chair. I'm Paul Renderson, or, as I used to be called, Pyro Inferno, but that's in the past. I used to be the best supervillian you could imagine, but I'm retired now. I don't cause destruction and terror like I used to. I'm just happy to relax after all these years.

Suddenly, I see Captain Powers using his laser eyes, destroying things and attacking people. "Ha, 'bout time he joined the darkside," I laugh as I watch the destruction. Soon, I see more superheroes; The Neon Mask, Blue Hornet, Phantom Prism, and others all joining Captain Powers.

"Hahahahaha, this is too good, or should I say bad. The Heroes finally went rogue." I sit and watch as they destroy Dellhollow. Suddenly, Mega Missiles starts flying towards me as he readies his rockets. I dodge just in the nick of time as his rockets blow up my house.

"Hey, watch it!!" I cry as he readies more missiles aiming straight at me. I dodge them again. "That's it! I was trying to enjoy retirement, and now you rogue heroes are ruining it!!" I say, getting fired up(literally).

I hurl a fireball at him and I miss. "Son of a bitch," I say under my breath. My aims gotten a little rusty, but if anyone can stop these annoying 'heroes' it's me.

I attack again, this time hitting him, and he falls. All the others scowl at me and charge, wanting to avenge their friend. I fight them, which is very difficult being how outnumbered I am. I fight with all of my might and win, as I knew I would. As I'm walking away to finally relax, because this was not the way I wanted to spend my retirement, a group of people surround me, cheering.

"Horray, Pyro Inferno saved us! Turns out he's not as bad as we thought!" people cry.

"Great, I can't go out known as the villain who saved everyone," I decide there's only one thing I can do.
...
I murder everyone.

I go sit down on someone's porch, since mine got destroyed, and finally enjoy the retirement I deserve.
