[WP] "Join me and together we will be unstoppable". In this story, the villain's offer to the hero is accepted.

"You're a monster. The contents of that vial will kill millions."

The middle aged woman in the sharp suit knelt next to him. Smiled an odd smile.

"Did you never wonder why we are releasing it?" She flipped the clear vial around in her hands. Our hero, pinned by a a 300lb mountain of muscle kneeling on his back struggled, pointlessly. If he didn't get up, get that thing away from her...

She looked at it, perfectly manicured pink nails clicking against the glass as she twirled it around.

"No-one is the bad guy in their own story, James. When she sent you to stop us, kill me, she didn't tell you the rumours did she?" She raised a perfect dark eyebrow. "Thought not. Do what you can to delay me pouring this into the water supply, tell me what she told you."

There was no way he could get this lump of muscle off him, stall. He spat the blood out of his mouth. " Laura Watson. Unremarkable early life, standard marreid with children. Massive lottery win, 93 million, followed by a meteoric rise in in finance and technology companies, current worth 2.2 billion. Heavy investment in biotech. If you could stop crushing my lungs this would be easier."

She glanced at the man crushing him, and the pressure lightened very slightly.

"Thank you." He took a deep breath."Involvement in multiple environmental groups and hate groups, funding the new eugenics movement by proxy. The rumors of you turning your hand to bio weapons were not rumors."

She smiled, it had looked charming over a glass of wine. Chilling currently.

"So she didn't tell you about trying to recruit me, about my 'gifts'. Ah, she was always one to keep secrets."

What the hell?

"Thirteen years ago, something strange happened to me. I was.. changed, started to see and hear things, things that hadn't happened yet. The lottery was just the beginning. I used my new ability to create a wealth of billions, something I could use to turn the world aside from the coming storm. She tried to strong arm me into working for the governmen at one point, but well, never try to blackmail a billionaire psychic. She was ordered to back down by her higher ups. Boy, that must of ground her gears."

"I don't understand".

"You were never meant to. Not part of the plan. She kept a lot of information from you. Did you wonder at how easy it was to get out, past the guards at the Messina facility?"

FINISH LATER!
