Drew White - Villain with debilitating superpower

writers note - this story starts where all good stories should start, at the end.(X

Piles of scrap metal and concrete form around White's body; the soot filled air engulfs him, hiding his pathetic figure from the outside world. Slowly crawling, his mask, his breathing becomes uneven, tears pool from his face and a searing pain gnaws away at his sanity; the mask; he needed it; without out it; he will die and leave the world which wished to destroy him long ago. Soot fills the crevices in Whites eyes blinding him, the open scars which line his arm from the explosion cause White to leave a trail of red ribbons along the floor. His breathing persists and only gets worse, his throat slowly closes up restricting his oxygen flow. A large bang and crack announce the presence of Blakard, the all popular multicoloured spandex and cape self righteous hero.

"Venom!", he viciously proclaims at white, "you lost! You failed! You tried veiling the world in your darkness but I am here, I shall always be here to shed light upon the cold, dark world; to be the grand beacon of hope and joy; for I am Blakard, the mightiest of the mighty, the strongest of the str,"

"m,m...mask" Venom barely manages to intersect, "I, I need my mask, please."

"Please! Ha Ha Ha! You! The great and mighty Venom, asking me, the mightier being, for help, begging relentlessly on your hands and knees." Blackard tone of voice changes abruptly to one more serious and vindictive, "no. Help isn't for those who need it, its for those who deserve it."

Blakard turns and begins to march of, his cape billows in the wind.

"s,stay, please; Dillon"

Blakard stops in his track, his smug, victorious face melts away leaving Blakard looking solemn; still facing away, Blakard slowly speaks,

"So... its true, you're Drew, well, I... I guess deep down, I knew!", Dillon struggles to hold back tears, "I always knew. What happened, we used to be so close, good friends and know, we are now just two soldiers in a war, we didn't start, fighting battles we never wanted to win...

Who am I!" Blakard screams, "I am, I, I... I was Dillon Barnes, best friend of Drew White. But now?"

Blakard slowly turns around and walks towards White, kneeling by his feet, Blakard smiles gentle at Whites resting body,

"Drew, why are we fighting? we're friends?... Drew? Drew please answer me, Drew!"

Silence, the melody of ****, no beat, no melody, just eternal silence...

forever.
