Anyone Else Think That The Weird Sisters Would Be Great As The OG Superb Chasers?

Happy UshiOi week! I’m mixing prompts and days but it is what it is.

This is a snippet based on the Venture Brothers where villains essentially are unionized and are assigned superheroes to be their archnemesis based on skill level/resources. If you haven’t watched Venture Brothers, you should give it a try!

______

Oikawa who wanted to be the hero, but ended up as a villain instead, joins the Guild of Calamitous Intent and has every intention to arch his old colleague who took over his position, Kageyama.

He’s deemed too low-level to arch Kageyama, that position ends up going to Atsumu, and instead ends up having to arch a small-scale agricultural scientist Ushijima instead.

Even with his team of henchmen, nothing goes as planned when going against Ushijima. Sometimes Ushiwaka doesn’t even notice or acknowledge the arching happening, or it inadvertently helps him with a break-through, and Ushijima ends up not taking their nemesis status seriously.

Oikawa blames the man’s red-headed best friend who keeps putting romantic notions in Ushiwaka’s head. Clearly Oikawa is not flirting! He takes his job very seriously!

He’s determined to do something big, something to bump his ranking up allowing him to arch his real, and very personal, adversary. He decides on creating a toxin that will target Ushijima’s plants, and he’s successful. He’s long perfected his evil laugh, and he does just that as Ushijima takes in the sigjt of his destroyed greenhouse. His laughter dies down when he notices that there are no threats of revenge, curses or retaliation. Instead he sees the look of utter despair and sadness on the other man’s face.

“They were…my friends,” he mumbles quietly. Oikawa feels terrible, he went too far, did not know the extent of attachment Ushijima had to these plants.

“But it’s what you wanted, right?” His favorite henchman Iwazumi says. “With this you’ll be able to work in the big leagues.”

This isn’t what he wanted, not at the cost of this pain in his nemesis’ eyes.

“The antedote, get me the antedote.”

“But, you’ll loose your cred,” Iwa-chan hesitates before Oikawa rips the antedote himself from his number 4’s hands. He quickly releases it into the greenhouse, and the plants slowly revive.

He slowly approches Ushijima and lays a hand on his shoulder. “I am so sorry, I shouldn’t have done that to you.”

“You saved them,” He states simply. “Even at the cost of your dreams?”

“There’s always next time.”

Oikawa is gentler to his arch after that, and hope builds in Ushijima.

“Are you planning anything for this weekend?” He asks one day.

“Ha! I’ll never tell you, gotta keep you on your toes!”

“If you are free, would you like to go on a date with me?” Oikawa blushingly agrees.

It’s not long after their first date that Oikawa puts in a transfer request, afterall you can’t arch your partner! Oikawa does make sure to continue to stop by the lab though, if only to drop off Ushijima his lunch. He always gets a kiss goodbye as he heads out for his daily arching against Date Tech’s obnoxious Iron Wall.

“Be careful at work, love.” Ushijima says with one final kiss to Oikawa’s cheek.

“Of course, pookie! See you for dinner!”

Not now, Satan

Reminder for today:

You should go out.

You should see the world.
