Vendetta (boyxboy)

[6] All of a sudden .

     "So... have a safe trip and stuff... " Vendetta said, as he watched Zero put his suitcase in the cab trunk.

     "Whoa. You should at least pretend to care whether or not I make it back home. " his brother replied.

     The younger villain chuckled. "Look both ways before crossing the street and don't talk to strangers,also make sure to eat your potato puddings ! " he mocked as he pinched Zero's cheeks. 

     His older brother laughed and ruffled his hair. 

     "I'll visit again soon. Maybe next time you'll wait for me, I dunno, in one piece ? " 

     "Maybe." 

     Scowling towards his brother, Zero turned around and got inside the cab. The driver started the car and Vendetta watched as the vehicle got tinier and tinier as it went further and further away from him, taking with it the only companion the villain had. As he felt the loneliness once again embrace him, the smile on his face got replaced by his typical neutral expression

     With a sigh, he went towards the building behind him to get into his apartment. As you entered it, you could see there was only one person living in there, seeing as there was no privacy. The first room was huge, including the kitchen, living room and bedroom. There weren't any walls separating them.On a deck there was the kitchen side, and going down the two stairs of the deck you entered the living room. A couch, a coffee table,a TV and a book shelf. Around 5 meters to the right there was a king sized bed, a night stand, desktop, computer and all that stuff, next to which there was the bathroom. The walls consisted of plain orange bricks, and the floor was made of wenge wood. The furniture was black, white and brown. It was a good looking place his brother bought him. 

     Sitting at his desk, he wondered what to do now that things were so different between him and the hero. Would they go back to normal if he was to rob a bank or anything like that ? Would they fight the same ? 

     Sighing,  he closed his eyes and leaned back on his boss chair. He needed some time at the gallery.

     "Put your hands in the air and the money in this bag ! " the masked man yelled.

     Vendetta was at his gallery, in his human appearance of course, and found himself being robbed by a random thief. The worst part was that he had to act like a citizen. A helpless, innocent citizen. Oh the irony of it all !

     "How am I supposed to put the money in the bag with my hands in the air-"

     "Don't play the smarty pants with me ! I'm the one with the gun ! Now. Just put your hands in the air and go in that corner, while I take care of the money myself. " 

     Vendetta shook his head, smiling. 

     "Are you suicidal or something ?!"

     The villain could recognize a killer when he saw it. And this was not a killer. This was just a desperate man who needed money for whatever reason. Probably a lost bet or something. 

     Realizing he was not really acting the way a human was supposed to in a situation like that, he just raised his hands and watched with annoyance as the man got closer to the cash register.
