Mistakes Made In the Dark (Superhero One-on-One) (Closed?)

Lifetime City has hit a new age of peace. The villain who has plagued their streets for years has mysteriously disappeared, and the city has decided to credit his "defeat" to the newest hero on a completely trustworthy (wink wink) superhero team called the "Legion." With all the battles won and the hero receiving glory and gratitude for his deeds, life is finally peaceful.

That is, it's peaceful until the villain announces that he's still alive by kidnapping the hero who stopped him.

(My character is the villain, and I do have a half-formed plot for this so if I say something weird just go along with it)

I'll post a template if anyone's interested, LGBTQIA+ characters are definitely welcome, considering my character's gay

(I'm interested. I probably won't be able to reply at regular intervals until the weekend though.)

(Great character! Are you ready to start?)

((Yep!))

Carter hid in the shadows, watching Spirit. It would be so easy to just take him right now, but his team was still in the room. He needed to wait for them to leave before he could make his move.

Denzel sent his team ahead, assuring them he'll look for Nightmare, and let them know. He watched them as they walked away.

Carter smirked. After the door shut and he was sure they were all gone, he spoke up. "Aw, you're really going to look for little old me?" He teased, laughing. He leaned against the wall. "Are you going to capture me too?"

Denzel spun around to face him, hiding his surprise. Was he really waiting for there to be one person? "Thank you for making my job so much easier." He said

"No, really, thank you. The city is peaceful, isn't it? All thanks to your heroic actions." Carter said, walking slowly around the room. He said the word "heroic" like Spirit was anything but. "So I really should be the one thanking you." He stopped in front of him, his smirk still on his face.

"You're still out there." He said bluntly, not a hundred percent sure how to respond. "You- you still hurt people."

"Do I?" Carter asked, as if he genuinely cared for the answer. "We haven't seen each other in a month. You have no idea of the things I do."

"Listen," He said calmly. "Just come with us. Nothing will happen if you do. If you don't… their may be a few people getting hurt. Please?"

Carter froze for a moment, before bursting out in laughter. "God, you really believe everything your team says, don't you?" He said, wiping a fake tear from his eye. "I'd rather not hand myself over and get tortured, thank you very much. I'm not here for that."

"They- they-they don't-" He stuttered, angrily. They would never do that…right? "They would never-!"

"And why wouldn't they?" Carter asked, his smirk breaking out into a grin. "Because they're the "good" guys?" He put air quotes around the word "good" as he said it.

Denzel froze, backing up. "They don't. You're lying!"

Carter's eyes practically lit up. "Am I?" He laughed, flashing Spirit a cruel smile. "It'll sure be fun to dream about, won't it?" He moved quickly, sending a dark bolt of power toward the other, hitting him directly in the head. "Please don't scream too loudly, Spirit. You don't want to be a bother."

(He hit Denzel with a nightmare if you didn't get it)

He stumbled back, shaking. "No. No no NO!"
