The Principal had kept his promise. He had tried to break Liv every moment he could.
But she wasn’t going to let him.
It had been days of tests. From being left alone to being followed every second of the day, from climbing to fighting. He wasn’t letting anything stop him.
To be honest, it was wearing on her.
Maybe if I just give in it will all be over. She thought to herself.
She shook her head and pushed the thought aside. She would never let him win.
Her door clicked open, and two guards entered the room. Class time. She held out her wrists, and they clamped the shackles around them. They all walked down the hallway.
She thought they were heading towards the gym when they started going a different way.
“Where are we going?” She asked, turning to the guard on her left.
Both guards stayed silent as they kept walking through the facility.
They went up two flights of stairs before arriving in front of a door. The guard on her right opened the door and pushed her inside.
Liv stumbled and found herself face to face with the Principal.
He smiled at her and unlocked her shackles. “Welcome to your test.”
Liv rubbed her wrists as she glared at him.
“Where am I?”
“You don’t recognize this place?”
Liv looked around the room and noticed that they were standing on a catwalk above the gym, but something was off. She moved to the edge of the catwalk and looked down.
The Principal walked behind her and put his hand on her shoulder. “Do you like the changes?”
Liv just stared. The entire room was filled with water. The two-story gym filled with water. Her heart started to race.
She tried to back up, but The Principal grabbed her by the shoulders and kept her in place.
“Interesting.” He pushed her closer to the edge. “It seems that our brave student is scared of water.”
“I-I don’t know what you’re talking about.” Her voice sounded shakier than she wanted.
Her heart started to beat out of her chest, as she stared at the water.
The Principal took a step back. “Then show me. Jump in and swim to the bottom. If you don’t,” he let out a quiet laugh, “then you have to promise to trust me. Just like Conner does.”
Liv turned and glared at him. He just smiled and motioned to the water. She turned back around.
Come on. I can do this. She thought to herself.
But she just stood there. She couldn’t get herself to move. She wanted to turn and run, but her legs wouldn’t let her. So she just stood there, staring at the water.
Why can’t I do this? She could have blamed it on the multiple tests or the sleep deprivation, but she knew it was fear.
Tears started to form in her eyes. She tried to wipe them away, but her arms wouldn’t move. She just stood there for what felt like an hour, until the Principal grabbed her shoulders and pulled her away from the edge.
“You can’t do it.” He said trying to hide his smile. “That means you have to promise that you will trust me.”
The exhaustion set in, and Liv didn’t want to fight it anymore.
“I promise.” She said looking down at her feet.
The Principal grabbed her chin and forced her to look at him.
“Promise what?” He had stopped trying to hide his smile.
Liv tried to look away, but his grip just tightened.
Too tired to fight she looked right at him, “I promise to trust you.”
He smiled and let go of her chin. He motioned to one of the guards standing by the door, and they put the shackles back on her wrists.
Feeling broken she let them guide her back to her cell as tears streamed down her face.

“We’re not free,” They whispered. “We never were.”
heya! could you continue the prompt where the hero and villain had revealed their relationship to the public? im super curious as to what happens next!
Hmm, *looks back and forth between stranger and Villain with a knife in my hand* … What does happen next? Oh, OH! Yes, I has an idea.
Wait I messed up! Here’s the previous post.
Hero rushed to the hallway to find Villain rolling around the floor with a stranger, and it was clear by the pain on the Villain’s face that they were hurt, straining to keep a secondary knife from falling down onto their face.
Hero snapped. Weeks of pressure, anger, and fear finally curdled together and met their breaking point. They ran at the stranger and tackled them away from their lover. They were on top and managed to snatch the knife from their blood-soaked hands. Everything seemed to slow around them, for a terrifyingly numb moment, they were without morals. The knife went down into their right shoulder and the stranger cried out in pain. Hero twisted it relentlessly.
“Leave us alone!” Hero screamed down into their face, the final word was drawn out and as loud as they could manage. It was only after that outburst that the red curtain came away, drained out of them, and Hero realised what they’d done… how much worse it could have been. They felt a hand grab onto their arm and realised it was Villain, trying to stop them from hurting them anymore.
“It’s okay,” Villain managed, “Breathe.” As quickly as it came, it was gone. Hero threw themselves away from the stranger, trying to scamper back from the blood on their hands. The blood. The blood! They couldn’t look away, couldn’t think straight. What had they just done?!
“S.See!” The stranger stammered, “They’re turning you into a monster.”
“The only monster here is me, and you’d best get out here before I have to drag you inside and demonstrate,” Villain snapped.
The stranger dragged themselves to their feet and ran down the street as best they could.
Villain winced and tried to take a deep breath before slowly getting to their feet. Their face drooped with nausea, but their heart sank seeing Hero. They had their knees close to their body head in their hands and they were yanking at their hair. Their breathing was uneven and tears flowed freely amongst their shallow breaths and hiccups.
Tucking away their pain as best they could, Villain approached Hero and out a hand on their cheek. “It’s okay. It’s okay, shh… We’ve got CCTV if he tries to lie. It was self-defence. You can’t get in trouble for that. Deep breaths, please try to take some deep breaths.”
Villain took Hero’s bloodied hand and pressed it against their chest. They could feel Villain’s chest rising and falling, fast, but deep even breaths. The only problem was, they didn’t know how much longer they could keep it up. Their own wound was bleeding badly and the initial numbness was quickly wearing off. When the stranger had first attacked, Villain managed to swat it away, but the stranger managed to plunge it into their left side.
Hero seemed calmer, to at least have their breathing under control. “Listen, sweetheart. I really need you to keep your head. We need to go, and I’m bleeding. Can you go upstairs and get me the first aid kit and the money out of our room? Bring them back here, then ring [Henchman] for me. Ask them to drive here and get us.”
“I can’t just run away from this…” Hero moaned.
“You’re going to have to. Either way, the first aid kit, come on, focus for me.”
Hero shook themselves out of it and the severity of what they’d said clicked into place. They saw the wound on Villain’s side and suddenly rushed upstairs on all fours to get it. Villain fell back and leaned against the wall. Breathe, they reminded themselves. It looked like Hero and Villain were going to have to help each other out of this mess. And for what? All because some group of insignificant strangers decided they didn’t like the fact Villain had found someone to care about, and now they were hurting Hero.
It was pushing them far too close to Villainy again, and if they kept pushing, Villain was going to make the entire city drop to its knees in fear. They would not hurt Hero.
Posting again because this is so important and it has helped me out so much!
I love this quote so much. It is such a good reminder. Thanks Jack, for all your PMA, and you want to help people. I love it so much!!
SUPERKIDDOS, part one! Once again I write too much dialogue… I just really like to see Damian rant. This is the gen, supersons + colin mash-up I’ve wanted for years lol so forgive the self-indulgence! Here’s the blurb:
The Supersons encounter an enemy that threatens to tear them apart: Meep Meeps, the newest fad hitting the country! When Damian gets kidnapped, however, his friend Colin must reach out to Superboy to help get their little Robin back…
Like with RSVP, I’ll be working steadily to get these out in five-page increments. For those curious, you can find all the pre-color work for this fancomic here: thumbs | inks part one
And the original valentines comic that introduced them to colin here: valentines fluff
