Onyx

"Okay, okay, I know that my other jokes weren't that funny to you but I promise that this time it is!" 
Scarlett laughed. 
"Mhm sure it is"  Scarlett said while looking at me like I was lying. But come on, my jokes were hilarious. Well kind of hilarious. 
"Believe me this time! It's so funny!"   I said in confidence. "Alright, so what did every superhero need as a kid?" I said with a big smile on my face. 
Scarlett sat there thinking about the answer. When it reached about a minute or so I asked: 
"You give up?" I asked with a smile on my face. 
"Yup" 
"Supervision" I said and then started laughing. Scarlett sat next to me and started laughing too. 
"See? I told you it was funny!" 
"Yeah, yeah it was good." Scarlett said with a smile on her face. I loved that smile. It was so cute. Oh what I would do to make this moment last forever. I kept smiling at her and perhaps I was smiling for too long because a few minutes later she waved her hand in my face. 
"Uhm, hello? You alive?" 
I suddenly snapped back into reality. 
"Huh? Oh! Yeah I told you it  would be funny!" 
Scarlett gave me a grin. Perhaps she noticed how I was staring at her but I couldn't help it. She was just so perfect to me and so cute and so pretty and so sweet and to be honest so everything. She was just perfect to me. 
"You are quite the strange one!" Scarlett said as she continued giggling at me. I smiled at her. 
"Yup, that's me. The strange villain." I said after I started laughing. It didn't make a lot of sense to me what she meant by strange but if scarlett was laughing then I was laughing as well. 

We continued talking. Until I brought up the topic about how we would make our relationship public. 
"Onyx.." Scarlett said. I don't think she really liked talking about this topic. But I really wanted to talk to her about it. I don't want to keep it a secret anymore. I wanted people to know how much I liked her. No. How much I loved her. 
"I really think we should talk about it, I want to make our relationship public, I want everyone to know about us!" I said as I moved towards her with a sweet smile. 
I really wanted this to happen, and I really meant what I said. I truly loved her and I wanted everyone in the world to know that! 
"Onyx.. I know you want us to be public but I don't think other people will approve of us." She said with sadness and disappointment filled in her eyes. 
"I know! But what if there was a way for us to explain to others or even show them how much we mean to each other."  I explained to her as I took her hands in mine and looked her in the eyes. Gosh her eyes were beautiful. Scarlett looked down in sadness. Sadly that sadness from her eyes wasn't gone after I said that. I could tell that it didn't make her feel better.  
"I don't feel so well, I think we should end this date early." Scarlett said, she wasn't even looking at me when she said that. I understood why she felt this way, but for some reason it seemed I didn't feel the same way as she felt about this. 
"Oh uhm, that's okay! We can continue talking some other time then." I said. Scarlett stood up and walked towards the stairs. 
I sat there thinking. What can I do to make everyone okay with our relationship?  
I sat there for a while just thinking while looking out at the stars. They were shining so beautifully. I suddenly stood up and jumped down from the rooftop and jumped to another rooftop. 
I don't want her to be sad.. I could never even dream about it. The thought of her being sad just makes me sad.. 
As I kept jumping from rooftop to rooftop I kept thinking. What could I do that would make other people accept us together?   I just arrived back to my lair and as I went through all the tunnels I suddenly felt this horrible headache. Perhaps it was from thinking so much about this. I went and sat down on my beanbag while putting my hands over my face. 
"This would've been so much easier if only they hadn't even existed." 
That's when it hit me. 
"If nobody existed! That's it! I think I know what to do!" 
I mean my idea isn't really murdering anyone perhaps just, making them disappear. 
I rushed out of the bean bag and went over to my work station, grabbed a paper and started sketching immediately. 

.    .    .
 
After a few hours I was finally finished with the sketch, and it looked perfect. Okay it maybe looks like a water gun with the purple and the blue bubbles and the end of the invention but I don't think anyone will notice that, right? 
"Now let's see who should I test this thing on?" I said as I pointed the invention towards the beanbag in the corner. I pressed the button and to my surprise a laser shot out and made the beanbag disappear. I stared at the corner where the beanbag used to be for a few seconds. Suddenly I started laughing. 
"Wow, I really am a genius! To be honest I didn't expect this to actually work" I said as I held it in my hands in awe and surprise. I never expected it to actually work, I mean sure I do invent these kinds of things but that does not mean I expect them to actually work. Especially this! 
"Well then, since this works why not try it with other people.. This will be fun." 
I started running through the sewers and once I got out I started jumping onto the walls and onto the rooftop. I looked down onto the citizens and focused the gun on a woman, once I thought it was ready I shot out a laser that went out onto the women making her disappear. I was in absolute shock. I didn't expect it to actually work, and once the other people around the women noticed her disappearing, they looked up towards me and started screaming for their lives. I just kept shooting towards the citizens making more and more people disappear. I looked around for more people to disappear and noticed people running towards another street.  I ran and jumped to other rooftops while continuing shooting them. More and more people started disappearing and I noticed how the streets looked empty. Just what I wanted. I ran and jumped to other streets making sure to make other people disappear too. I bet Scarlett was going to be so happy now that we could love each other without the fear of other people judging us. We could go on dates in public places and restaurants and way more! 
"Wait, does it even count as a public place if literally no one is going to be there?" 
I looked over towards the park and jumped down towards the park and went walking to it. 
I went over to sit down on a bench park and just started thinking. 
Gosh it feels weird, I haven't been in a park for- I don't even know for how long. I think it feels even more weird to be sitting down and relaxing without the cops running after you, and I think that would be the first time in many years where I  was normally walking without running away from something. It feels so calming and relaxing for some reason. Suddenly I heard a tree branch behind me break.
 "What was that?" 
I stood up and pointed my gun towards the tree where I heard the sound. 
"Come out now if you want me to make you stay!" I said screaming at the person who was behind the tree. 
When the person came out I realised it was a cop who tried to shoot me. Without any second thought I shot at them before they could, making them disappear. 
After I was finished I looked behind me to see Scarlett marching towards me. Perhaps it was time she was going to hug me or perhaps give me a kiss. But before I could react she slapped me. 
"So it was you?! You're the one making everyone disappear?!" She screamed at me. This was the first time she had ever screamed at me. I never imagined it to hurt this much, and really I didn't imagine it hurting this much. 
"What?" 
That was the only word I could mutter out. I didn't expect her to be mad at me. I thought it was going to be the complete opposite. 
"Don't you ignore it! I just saw you using the invention to make a cop disappear! I can't believe you! Seriously, what's going through your stupid head for you to do something so stupid!"
