Super Secret~ A Villain's Story

19

"Virgil!" I screamed through the black as my lungs begged for clean air. All it got in return was ash, soot, and fire... so much fire. The place itself was coming down. I looked around the room praying but I couldn't see him. I could hear people screaming all around me. All these people... then... Laughter? I was slammed back into a desk as this intense wave ripped through the building. 

"I love the sound of screams in the morning!" I felt my blood freeze as this man just popped up out of nowhere. His had this black and red painted mask and black suit on. He was scary as shit. He glanced over at me and smiled. I watched him snap and suddenly the roof started to cave in. He turned away ignoring the scene behind him and I threw my arms up. The roof... or should I say upper floor... that came crashing around me froze hovering above. I threw my arms down and everything flung itself away. I could still hear him laughing. I narrowed my eyes and glanced out the window. First responders... people... Cars and cops... you name it. The flooded the streets and I tensed up. This building is gonna go down. And I don't see Virgil outside. I know I heard him. I know I did. I know I...

"Somebody help me!" I whipped around hearing someone scream out and I froze. What do I do? What can I... I spotted a small black mask still hanging on the board and I narrowed my eyes. I can help. I have to help. I have to find my friend. I grabbed the mask and ran out of the room, putting it on. 

I pushed through the broken and the burned holding my shirt over my face hoping to keep the ash out of my lungs. Not that I didn't already have plenty. Every creak made my skin crawl. I didn't want to be caught up in this when it came crashing down but more importantly, I wanted to save Virgil.

"C-Caz..." I looked around hearing his voice and I frowned. Where... "CASSIDY!" I watched a wall crumble and covered my eyes trying to block the ash. When I opened them again my eyes went wide. What... "C-Ca... hel...help m... me." 

"Virgil?!" I rushed over and started uncovering him from the debris. I pulled him out and he hugged himself as he started coughing up blood. He opened his eyes and smiled at me. Even wearing the mask, I knew he could tell who I was. He opened his mouth to say something but I shook my head. "It's ok. You're going to be ok, Virge. But you have to stay quiet for me."

"I-I... am... s-so..." I took his hand and held it close.

"I'm going to get you out of here. I promise." The room started to shake again and I knew what that meant. I picked Virgil up as carefully as I could and I looked around. He wasn't heavy he was a lot smaller then I was, but he was injured badly. A piece of wood had lodged into his side. If I didn't get him out soon. There was going to be a problem. 

"Just hold on, Virgil." Just... just hold on...

Hold on? How could anyone hold on? I asked myself as I stared blankly at the black screen. The Skype call had ended a long time ago. Virgil kept apologizing. Logan and Patton kept trying to calm me down while Roman stood there confused. I couldn't get it out of my head. I couldn't...

They just had to bring him up. Jax just had to bring him up. That fucker put me through hell and I... I don't even know what to do anymore. I got up and frowned. I need a drink. No, you've drunk enough. My mind won't shut up. No, you can't keep pushing it down. I can't stay here. No, you just won't get rid of the liability.

"SHUT UP!" I screamed out and my room practically exploded. I raised my head to see the fire and the broken mess and laughed crazily. I should... I should... I should get rid of the problem. right?

If you do then you'll be safe. You can stay and life your life.

I pushed myself up out of the ruble that was my bed and looked around. I narrowed my eyes remember the scene from the building and frowned. I thought I got a grip on this. I thought I learned control. I thought...

Sometimes a little chaos is good.

Sometimes... Chaos is needed. Get rid of the problem. Get rid of the liabilty. 

Get rid of Logic!
