!TW FOR MILD VIOLENCE, AND -SWEARS! “JESTER WHAT THE HELL?!” Dove yelled as the villain in front of her fell to the ground, duotoned wings disappearing as Sparrow hit the floor with a thump, making the new hero wince at the sound. “What, did the Foundation not tell you about Project Dreamcatcher?” The clown hero asked as she put down a piece of rubble. “NO!? WHAT EVEN IS PROJECT DREAMCATCHER?!” Dove demanded loudly, throwing her arms out to prove a point. “Do they REALLY not tell newbies about PD?” Dargan asked, an eyebrow raised. “Guess not” Jester shrugged, before turning to Dove. “Project Dreamcatcher is a carefully thought through plan to capture COS villains, which you should know as some of the villains with the highest priority of capture, being called Capture On Sight, and some include Harpy, Misfit, and ms. little Sparrow right here” She said, crouching down and placing a hand on the unconscious villain’s head, feeling the fabric of the dark hoodie, smiling mask now in front. “But also, there are specific code colors for every villain, like how Harpy is red, black for Onyx, and gold for Sparrow, along with plenty more, but those are the most iconic” Jester then added after a moment of consideration. Dove bit her lip as she took in the information, which was much more and different than what the Hero Foundation had told her on her debut. They had said something about, ‘Oh, there are high marked villains that need to be caught on site and yada yada yada’, they didn't say anything about code colors and the actual explanation for COS villains! “How . . . '' Dove started, hesitating for a second before she found her words. “How long have you been looking for Sparrow?” Jester hummed. “I would say we have been /hunting/ down Sparrow for about a year and a half now? Up until then, she was never really a threat aside from being Harpy’s sidekick, but a year and a half ago she began to act on her own, more . . . erratically” The new hero perked up, she had been following the news ever since the golden villain’s reveal. “Yeah, there were reports about Sparrow yelling stuff that didn't make sense, talking to herself, as well as creating larger, more deadly bombs ” Dove recited from her memory. Dargan grumbled. “Seems like she’s losing it. Wouldn't you agree, Jester?” The draconic hero asked, spooking Dove a bit. “Eh, seems like she still has a bit of sanity left. I saw her helping the homeless a week or so back, I watched Sparrow feed and play with the street cats as well, so I would say that she has some of her stuff put together, not a lot, but it's there” Jester said with a parental tone, which made Dove look at the Clown themed hero with confusion, Dargan noticed that and snorted, making Dove even more confused. “Jester, I think you're . . . forgetting something here” The draconic hero huffed out as he looked down at the unconscious villain. “Ah, yes! Thank you for reminding me, draggie” Jester said, Dargan just glared at her at the nickname but she was focused on putting a pair of power suppressants onto Sparrow, sliding around the villain’s wrist’s. [Ah, power suppressors. Only used in drastic cases because if left on power from the person wearing it can build up and can make them either go on a rage, or just slowly kill them from the inside. They can also cause fatigue from little to severe, depending on the person wearing it though.] Dove though, scrolling through her mind for information on the pair of silver cuffs, flinching slightly as she swear she saw the villain move for a split second, before falling still. Dove bit her lip, debating whether to tell the more experienced heroes, but her train of thought was interrupted by a terrifyingly familiar voice. “Now, now. Should I ask why you have my sidekick before or after I slice your throat’s open?” HARPY. [Crapcrapcrapcrapcrapcrap- OHMYGODITSHARPYWHATDOIDO???????DOIFIGHTORDOILETITBEANDLETJESTERANDDARGANTAKECONTROLOFTHESITUATION??????] Dove’s thoughts ran a million miles a minute, slowly turning around to see the villain in their beloved city, Burlent. “Ah, Harpy. How nice of you to join us” Dargan spoke up after a very terrifying silence (for Dove, at least). “Dargan! My friend! You too, Jester. Though,” Harpy spoke with a calm and bitter tone butonepromisingVIOLENCE- “I don't recognize you, gray hero” “That's Dove, who recently made her debut, /Harpy/” Jester said with a confident tone, stepping up towards Dove and placing a hand on her shoulder, easing her ever growing anxiety because holyCRAPTHENUMBERONEVILLAINISRIGHTTHEREWHATDOWEDO- Harpy hummed, looking( Was she???
