A Collection of Prompted Short Stories

Ultraviolet

 In an age full of people with incredible quirks and abilities, a new profession emerged. Hero's who risk their lives to protect civilians from evil villains.

"Oh no! It's a villain!" People ran from the bank as a large masked villain broke through its window. He laughed running with his arms full of money-filled bags. He was laughing so hard that he didn't notice the happy shouts of the people. All of a sudden the villain was lifted into the air by an invisible force.

Lo and behold it was the Psychic Hero: Psyclops. He smiled as he held the villain still enough for another hero wrapped him up with capture tape, as fast as light. Soon the Speed Hero: Lightning stood beside Psyclops and high-fived him. Psyclops set the villain down only so a third hero could pick him up with his vine-like arms.

"Oh my god, it's the hero brothers; Psyclops, Lightning, and Bloodthorn!" The younger girls screamed. The hero brothers were famous for being effective and extremely good-looking. However, there was something about the brothers that not many knew. They had a little sister.

She smiled down at them from atop a nearby roof. Her older brothers were so strong that they overshadowed the younger girl. It sucked being in their shadow, although she figured out a way to make myself known.

"Haha! It seriously took all three of you to take down a simple low-level villain? How utterly pathetic." The girl laughed. She was dressed in a black and purple, skin-tight bodysuit, accentuated with a belt of fake skulls. Her long purplish-black hair flowed in the wind freely. Anyone who saw her knew she was a villain. She was known simply as Ultraviolet and was considered the most powerful villain in the area.

"Damn it! Why can't you just leave us alone, Ultraviolet?" Lightning quipped, running his fingers through his undercut blonde hair and his golden eyes flashed with annoyance.

"Yeah, seriously, go mess with someone else." Psyclops' golden locks were longer than his older brother's but not as long as Bloodthorn's scarlet red mop, which had to be braided less it touch the ground.

Bloodthorn, while the youngest brother, was a Mute and the only one who knew about their sister's other side. Neither of the two older brothers recognized their beloved sister, for she often wore a purple veil emblazoned with her emblem embroidered in purple. All heroes feared the purple radioactive symbol surrounded by sun-like spikes.

"You guys are far too much fun to mess with." She giggled, then suddenly stopped. The villain they had captured earlier was trying to sneak away and none of them noticed. Thorn had detached the vines holding him so they were no longer attached and the crook was slithering out of them. He smiled as he began to run away, but stopped dead in his tracks.

A blade of violet light had appeared through his throat. Heroes captured villains, only for them to escape and terrorize people again, killing them as easier. The corpse fell with a thud surprising the heroes. They hadn't realized he had escaped until he was dead by her hands.

"Now you understand why I kill my opponents. It's foolish to keep them alive." She frowned at the men. Slowly she turned and snapped her fingers, disappearing. Well sort of, she could control different types of light, including x-ray and even ultraviolet light, hence her name. Since humans couldn't see ultraviolet light, she would 'disappear' but one could still bump into her or touch her.

A few hours later the three brothers returned to their shared home. They smiled at their little sister. Her bell-shaped pink and white ruffled dress made her look like a doll, which was the point of the lolita style. Her pinkish-purple eyes looked even wider due to her makeup and her purple-black hair was pulled into tight ringlets and had a cute pink bow to make her look even more like a doll.
