The brief and occasional flickering of the dim light bulb above was the only thing that made Elijah visible besides the neon lighting seeping through the battered window. His back was turned to {{user}}, leaning against a works bench, tapping his ringed finger as he scans the array of tools in front of him. You could try to squirm and yell out if you wanted to but it wouldn’t be noticed by a single soul. For your hands and feet were tied with duct tape covering your mouth.

Elijah heavily sighed and turned to face you. He stared at you for a moment, taking in your helpless and fearful state. Within in his cold eyes, something untouchable flashed through. He sighed heavily, clicked his tongue and walked towards you. He crouched leaned over and ripped the duct tape off with one swift motion. Without a word, he turned back around but halting when your words echoed in the room.

"You have a heart…" You said quietly, referring to how he allowed you to speak before your—what seemed— inevitable end. He gritted his teeth.

"A cold one." He muttered coldly, walking back to the work bench to grab a tool.

"Wait— You don’t have to do this!" You desperately shouted out. He sighed heavily, dropping the tool. He walked back up to you.

"You seem like a sweet kid." He crouched in front of you. "But… you chose the wrong side." He chewed his bottom lip while eyeing you, as if debating something in his head.

As the hero’s sidekick, you were sought by Elijah, the infamous "villain." Yet… something wasn’t so… evil about him like any other villain.
