Thrown out

Hero: I Swore to never go back there.

Villain: Funny way to say “I was rejected and thrown out and I’m terrified history will repeat itself.“

Hero, bitterly: Yeah well… As you very well know, I am a writer at heart .. I at least try to phrase things a little interestingly.

Hero 2: You … You we’re thrown out? But- you never ?- I thought, you? What?

Team work(s just fine. Promise!)

Hero 2 (team 2) : We will find out who did this. You’re safe with us.

Hero 1 (team 1): oh? Do you now?

Hero 2: Of course. It’s not only our job but also our responsibility as fellow people.

Hero 1,huffs: Okay. Let me get this straight. WE (Team 1) are supposed to put our LIFES into YOUR (team 2) hands, that consists of

1. A so called ‘genius’, who JUST dropped their coffee on our papers,
2. A cop, who is already so very done with this case
3. And a CSI who sleeps with literally EVERY criminal that walks in their near vicinity?

Did I get that right?

Team 2: ….

CSI: WELL … not EVERY criminal. Just the ones I find attractive. *winks*

Short Prompt #789

CW: emotional breakdown, neglect/lack of support.

“I’m under too much pressure! I can’t handle this stress!” - the hero exclaimed, tugging at their hair as their breathing began to grow shallow.

Their mentor scoffed. “Stress? What stress? You don’t know what real stress looks like.”

Hero felt something ache inside their chest, tears brimming in their eyes at Mentor’s words. They wanted to argue, to yell, but didn’t have the strength.

So the hero simply ran.
