May contain some uncomfortable scenarios.

“Thrash all you want, you can ever escape this cage.” 

“I’ve finally caught you.” 

“Aw, is it too tight? Good.” 

“You will never leave this place alive.” 

“You are a marvelous creature, trapped in such a small little cell.” 

“Let me go!” 

“You think you’ve won, huh?!” 

“Quit struggling, you will only make it worse.” 

“You seem rather calm for being in your position.” 

“You can’t keep me in here forever!” 

“W-what are you going to do to me?” 

“I’ve been looking for something new to experiment on…” 

“What a fine specimen! Yes, you will do just fine.” 

“I won’t become some lab rat!” 

“As soon as I get my hands on you, you will regret trapping me in here.” 

“What…what is this place?” 

“Where am I?” 

“If you keep struggling, you may lose a limb.” 

“Please! You got to help me!” 

“I’ve done nothing wrong!” 

“If you answer a just a couple of questions, I may let you go.” 

“Do you know how long I’ve been waiting for something like you?” 

“You’ve hit the end of the road, ___.” 

“Do you really think bindings and bars will keep you safe?” 

“I will kill you!” 

“You are not quite reacting like I’d assumed…” 

“Oh right, I forgot how in denial you are. It’s cute but starting to cause some worry in people. Perhaps you should go talk to someone about these delusions of grandeur you’ve been having. Not that it doesn’t become you, it really does for a TV headed weirdo like yourself.”

“Son of a bitch.”

Today was not going Steve’s way; the arrival of a few heroic hemorrhoids had already been a bit of a detriment, but when Black Hat and his assortment of dead weight decided to grace them with their presence, things got a hell of a lot more hectic. The CEO had managed to lose sight of Rodney and Vincent but from the unmistakable smell of burning flesh and screams of agony, they both seemed to be doing fine.

Sadly, he couldn’t say the same for himself…

His eldritch rival was somehow able to get near him while he was preoccupied with one of the heroes and, suffice to say, Steve had had about a millisecond to activate his shield before being flung through a building. And a couple of seconds after that to duck into a hallway to evade the monster’s claws.

Now, he was running and hiding through the building as he tried to get communications up with one of his friends, but considering the battle was still raging outside, who knows when they’ll get a chance to answer.

“What a shitshow.”

【 🎩 】 — He mustn’t have taken this chase seriously yet, seeing as he was just moving brisk enough to not lose that little nuisance. 

The effort of the heroes drew Black Hat to the site, even as a retired villain he wasn’t opposed to bringing down a band of chump champions. However the appearance of Static Enterprises meant he had to share the turf. Of course this wasn’t something Black Hat was good at, at all, let alone would consider as an option even if he was. Flug and Demencia were, with a point of the hand, sent to deal with both the heroes and the other’s lackeys. Black Hat himself had other business to attend to.

Every time Steve ducked for cover, the dapper devil wasn’t too far behind. He’d go as far as to shred the wall next to him with talons that protruded from his grey gloves. At this rate he was just sizing up his prey. Black Hat was entirely capable of catching up to the other— an option would be extra limb-like appendages extending from his back and carrying him at high speeds. However, this one had been a thorn in his side for a while now. There was certainly room to let this drag on for a while. Besides, he didn’t stand a chance!

…Probably.

It was no use; neither of them was picking up and he didn’t want Black Hat hearing him call in the cavalry, anyways, since he’d just be waiting for the both of them. Losing the eldritch was his only real option, then.

Easier said than done...

‘Come on, Steve, think!’ The man thought to himself. Fighting Black Hat was absolutely not feasible, so he’d have to pull off a bit of trickery to slow him down or incapacitate him for a bit. There were a couple of devices in his coat pocket as well as his trusty raygun, but it still wasn’t a lot to work with, especially with who he was up against. He’ll just have to be smart about how he uses them...
