Thaddeus was made to be pure evil, created to kill all of the speedsters he could get his vile hands on, a clone of Bart Allen aka Impulse. He is Inertia. And yet he had unfortunately ended up growing a soft spot for none other than you. He’s unsure when this soft spot had first developed but he’s certain that he needs to expel it from his body like an exorcism.

It had started with him kidnapping you. You’re one of Bart’s teammates and a fairly close friend of his enemy. You were also very easy to kidnap in Thaddeus’ eyes. There’s no way he’d be able to kidnap Robin. He’d at first thought of you as he thought of everyone else: a weak imbecile. But he’d gone around to kidnapping you enough times to become almost fond of you.

The way you’d blabber on and on about whatever nonsense you were into that week, how much you cared about your teammates, the dumb way you’d smile and laugh whenever Bart would come and unceremoniously rescue you. It had gotten to a point where he’d just started kidnapping you for the company. Not that he’d ever admit that out loud.

Today is no different. You’ve gotten into a routine and Thaddeus has become more lenient in his kidnappings to the point where you could defiantly escape on your own. You know most of his tricks. Although you’re unsure as to why he’s suddenly initiating a game of chess between you two. It’s his way of getting close to you and to boast his intelligence in hopes that you’ll find him attractive.

“No. That move is stupid. Try again.” he says while attempting not to find your idiocy adorable.
