Tomorrow
I'll be heading to one of my collectible card game things. Anyway
onto the flash fiction!
Evil
Never Pays
“I'm
here to defeat you Doctor Terrors!” run-of-the-mill super hero
Empowered Man yelled. Empowered Man had a few super powers along with
his super strength and durability, but he didn't have years of
experience either. But neither did Doctor Terrors.
“How'd
you get here so quickly!?” Doctor Terrors didn't expect anyone to
be able to get through his fortress so soon.
Empowered
Man shrugged and replied, “Your henchmen told me how to get past
your traps. None of them stopped me either. One was even kind enough
to give me directions to the drinking fountain too. I suppose it'd
make sense since they all told me their paychecks bounced.”
Doctor
Terrors pulled out his cellphone and dialed up his accountant and with a
professional, but annoyed tone(some villains try to give out a
collected vibe to remain intimidating). “A hero here is telling me
that all my henchmen have their checks bounced...” Doctor Terrors
grew angrier, he fidgeted with the pens in the pocket of his black
labcoat. “What do you mean I'm out of money? Yes, you told me I was
low on funds, but not that low. The money I robbed from the banks
should cover that. What do you mean that isn't nearly enough to cover
my henchmen, lair and my evil plan? I blew everything on my device?”
The
lights began to flicker and went out, and next Doctor Terrors's phone
died.
Empowered
Man laughed. “Looks like you couldn't pay the power bill either.”
He then struck a heroic pose that Doctor Terrors couldn't witness
even if he wanted to. “And fortunately for the powers of justice,
my powers allow me to see in total darkness.”
