“Seriously, stop kidnapping me! My friend, the hero, he’s gay!” Screamed Tallic. She stared at the male villain as he looked dumbfounded at the the metal controlling girl. He blinked once, twice, a third time, and hit his back against the same wall Tallic was chained to. He slid down until he was sitting and clutched his heart as hope filled his eyes. That hope immediately died and the villain slumped further down clutching his heart in pain.

“He was gay this whole time?” The villain asked as he looked at Tallic. She hesitated for a second and then looked at the villain.

“You love him, don’t you?” Tallic asked. Her eyes widened as the villain slowly nodded his head. He looked at Tallic again and then looked at the cuffs strapping her to the wall. He focused on them and flexed his hand.

As the chains slowly broken apart into billions upon billions of tiny stars, the hero came barging in. His body was glistening with sweat and in an instant the villain was blushing madly. The hero slowly looked from the blushing villain to Tallic and then back at the villain. He pointed to the villain and looked at Tallic with a face that said, ‘What’s up with him’.

“He likes you. And he just found out you’re gay.” Said Tallic pointedly. The villain glared at her and stars started collecting around her wrists again. The villain looked down and let out a small yelp of surprise. That’s when both Tallic and the hero realized something. The villain didn’t know how to fully use his abilities.

“Hey, if you want we could all get out of here quick enough that by the time the police show up we’d be gone.” Suggested the villain gently rubbing the back of his neck. The villain looked at the hero and slowly stood up. He held out a hand and Tallic took it. Within seconds all three of them were on the roof of the building and looking down at the city that they all lived in. A mutter came from the villain and Tallic looked at him questionably. The villain looked at her and then repeated what he said.

“I’m Bill by the way.” He muttered. Both Tallic and the hero looked at him in surprise. A smile graced the hero’s face and he hoisted the villain up bridal-style. The villain clung to the hero’s neck as if it was the last lifeline on Earth and the hero chuckled at the villain’s response. After a while the villain relaxed into the hero’s arms and looked up at him gently.

“I’m Atlas.” Said the hero smirking. Bill blushed more and buried his face into Atlas’s chest as Atlas laughed and Tallic rolled her eyes.

“Let’s go lovebirds!” She yelled already in the roof of another building.
