Super Secret~ A Villain's Story

5

I slammed my tray on the table making myself jump in shook. Why was I so upset anyway? It was own damn fault for bringing it. Of course, now I'm going to be labeled a villain sympathizer... Like that even matters, I AM A VILLAIN! Like seriously, Caz. What's worse? Being labeled a sympathizer or being outed?

I started eating my lunch when I heard someone else slam there tray down across from me. I looked up anxiously to find Roman sitting there just staring at me. What the fuck? I started glancing around hoping someone might be able to pull him... or me... away and I noticed the others standing behind me. I tensed up and looked down at my food hoping they'd all just go away.

"Here's the sitch..." Roman started and I started to shrink. "... You know a lot about Deception. Like a creepy amount to write in a notebook." That's because it was a diary dumbass. I started to fidget with my food as Roman tapped his fingers on the table. "... And the fact that he's a villain..." I groaned and pulled my beanie down a little as he droned on. "Look... I'm sorry."

"What?" I looked up to see Roman looking a little awkward as he tried to form his words.

"I shouldn't have taken the notebook. You brought it to help and I was rude. I'm sorry... It's just..." And here we go. "you were making fun of Inferno and I wanted to know..."

"You wanted to know if I didn't like inferno then which hero I did right?" He looked away and I shook my head as the others actually joined the table. "Roman, I don't... hate... Inferno." I felt my skin crawl and I looked away. "He's just troubled. He has a power he can't control. He's as quick to violence as most Villains are, and he's self-centered."

"HE IS NOT!" I narrowed my eyes and Roman frowned. "Ok... maybe, it might seem that way..."

"Then you Resonance. Sweet innocent Rez..." I wanted to throw up, and I'm pretty sure they can all tell. Patton's face darkened a little and I shook myself from my thoughts. "He's not a fighter. He's support. Strong support but still support. The best plan of action would be to keep him in the back."

"But wouldn't that be demining..." I shot Roman a look and he clammed up. "... sorry, proceed."

"Rez has a long range ability. Not everyone has powers, you should use the ones you do to the fullest. Putting him in the front lines would be a gross miscalculation on Logics part." Logic looked over at me confused as I started to ramble off. I never knew how much I actually thought about this. "As the team leader, he should've taken the time to discover everyone's strengths and weaknesses. It isn't that hard. Rez is not made for combat. He's too caring. He'd save the villain before anything actually happens but he's strong and loyal. He's better suited for support. Inferno lacks control and never actually thinks his actions through but he's a natural. He was made for this shit. Every action and reaction, when in control, is damn near perfect. If he just got a handle on his power he'd be a force to be reckoned with. But as of now, all you have to do is get him to lose focus and get emotion."

"For someone more interested in the other side you sure know a lot about them too." I snapped out of my thoughts only to be met with the curious looks from everyone. Logan raised an eyebrow at me and once again I felt like I wanted to hide. "Since you know so much... What do you suggest they do?"

"Well for starters. STOP SENDING REZ OUT IN PLAIN VIEW! That will always be everyone's first target. Take out the healer, you screw the whole team over. As for Inferno, he's got to get a handle on things. He's a literal ticking time bomb." I could see Roman starting to get pissed and I felt myself start to snap. "Yes, Roman. I'm calling your favorite hero a ticking time bomb. The moron is so wrapped up in himself he can't even see he's more a threat then the actual villain is. How many times has Deceit stopped what he was doing to save his ass from losing control?! In fact, If it wasn't for the fact that he 'fights for good' HE'D BE A BETTER VILLAIN! He destroys shit anyway. He probably doesn't even realize how much Deceit actually helps him. Fucking Moron!" I started to get up when Logan grabbed my hand making me freeze. Roman got up and left, leaving me a feeling a little guilty.

"This might actually be good." Logan said drawing my attention back to the table. Patton was obviously worried about Roman. Virgil was writing everything I said down and Logan was smiling. I don't get it. 

"What?"

"Think about it. It's practically a debate waiting to happen. Heroes v.s Villains." I frowned as he started to go off. "We'll write about the heroes and their battles and you'll provide us with info on Deceit as well as random tidbits of information here and there."

"Whatever." I got up, ignoring the looks from everyone and walked off. I should have just gone home. It's not like I have another class after this one. Not today anyway. I was just hungry. It doesn't matter. 

I walked into the bathroom feeling my nerves start to get the better of me. I turned the faucet on and just stood there staring at my reflection. Stupid moron...

Why did you go off like that? It's not like you actually care about those freaking heroes. I felt my skin start to crawl and I looked up to see my eyes beginning to glow. I yelled out in frustration and punched the mirror causing it to break. I could see my reflection warp and waver, revealing scales that, when I reached up to touch my cheek, were not really there. I splashed some water on my face and took a deep breath. I need to calm down. And here I was belittling Inferno for his lack of control. 

My phone started ringing and I frowned. I answered it only to be met with cries on the other line.

"DECEIT!"
