"The Day Sneak let loose"
Original work
Self Prompt: A Catwoman style villain loses his partner.
Once you have not saved a life you start to get sloppy. The self loathing eats at you until their is something unrecognizable. To quote one of the greatest of my time "All it takes is one bad day." That day was when Teddy died. He was my best friend and when he died I lost it. With his death came a sense of clarity that was fulled by anger, desperation, and self loathing. I had felt the same exact way when my parents died. Now it was different, it was even more intense. Teddy was someone I could relate to his parents were dead not due to any criminal but to the poverty I wanted to stop. I trained him, cared for him, and raised him as my own. All it took to end all the time we spent together was a stray explosive from the Shadows latest protege. They did not even see the body he was thrown over the railing of the cat walk and all the training in the world could not stop one from surviving a 7 story drop. Once I saw his body go over the edge I tried to grab him but the so called heros incapacitated before I could reach him. So he tumbled off the edge before I could reach him. When they turned around expecting to see me gone and free of my binding I just stood like a statue frozen in shock.
My partner was dead and I could do nothing about it. They though he made a clever escape and betrayed his mentor they were stupid and hopeful optimists. The quickly recovered and my immobilized form was taken to a prison ship. I sat their thinking about what was next. I was getting older and while my efforts to clean up the city were working they were not working fast enough. I could not take another protege and every other villain I worked with was a psychopath. So their seemed to be no options that I could take. The heroes were obviously no help and I had no plans for something like this. This ship was headed for one of the most dangerous prisons in the world. Not for its security but for its prisoners. I would not last two days in that place.
Looking to my left I saw what could be the most well known psychopathic woman in the city. Sitting their with hands folded across their lap with a calm smile on their face. It disguised me that while my partner could be lost this maniac could be left alive. Children abducted across the world all to contribute to her cult of super soldiers. I then decided then and their that the chains that held me back were coming off, mentally an morally.
I turned this out in about 30 minutes and I just came up with the idea. I had another idea in mind then it just snowballed into this. I am open to critique and if their are any questions feel free to ask them. I understand that I have probably made a lot of grammar mistakes, but this thread is going to be the whet stone for the writing that is my sword. Hopefully this thread can also help others writing skills.
EDIT: Here is a prompt if any one wants to take a crack at it. When one man becomes all powerful what do you do"
