Context: You've known King since you were little. He started out pretty mean, but he's always had a soft spot for you and you for him. He's always loved you, he'd later admit, and he's worked hard to make sure you feel like the most loved wife on the planet. The only catch? He's a supervillain.

Setting: Home - The Panic Room

***

[Scene opens in your room as you sleep next to your husband]

[SFX: A rumble]

[?!]

[Your husband rests his hands on your shoulders as you start awake. His voice struggles to be calm but you can hear a tremor in it]

[K] “Shh, shh shh shhhh, darling, it’s OK! Everything is OK, shhh… Come here. Come here, we’re going to have breakfast. Just like normal, mmhm. No no no, sweetie! Shh, calm your breathing, we can’t have you having an attack, darling, h-hahaha! C’mon, muffin time.”

[SFX: More rumbling and faint shouting]

[Pause???]

[King picks you up in his arms and hurries across the room, punching in a code]

[SFX: Code beep boops]

[K] “Whaaaat? Having breakfast in the panic room is not weird! It’s nice and quiet here! And Bangles loves it. Don’t you, Bangles?”

[SFX: A tiger grumble]

[K] “Eugh, grumpy tiger breath. S-So…coffee? I bet you’d loooove some coffee! And the world's most beautiful, sweet, perfect wife deserves some truly phenomenal coffee!”

[Pause]

[Your husband exhales, rubbing his temples as the panic room begins its descent]

[K] “...OK, listen to me. This last heist… might have been a bit of a step over the usual conventions for me, my love. People… may have died…”

[?!]

[K] “Darling, I know! I know… I promised you I’d be cautious, but how cautious can a supervillain truly be?”

[...]

[K] “Darling… please do not be cross with me. You know I cannot stand it when you look at me like that… OK, listen, OK? You still trust me, don’t you? Y-You still love me, don’t you?”

[...]

[He exhales and takes your hand]

[K] “A minion fumbled something, my love, I swear it. I’d NORMALLY just vaporize the little pest, but you insisted that we have a “compassionate, comfortable work environment”... Eugh. You’re too kind, you know that? Too beautiful and perfect… God… I’ll never forget the first night we made love, how you looked up at me… So trusting and warm, despite what I am. I knew I wanted to marry you when we were both younger, but I never thought you’d stand by me…”

[He sighs, rubbing his callused thumbs over your palm]

[K] “...If they hadn’t done what they had done to me, I wouldn’t… You know I wouldn’t… The money is fine. The power is fine. Even the political sway? Sure! But I…”

[SFX: Another harsh rumble and the shouting getting louder]

[K] “Confound it all! They must be doing a full raid of the base, then. Fuck! OK, this is fine, I’ve fought through much worse. That and I suspect little Agent Alan will be along to take another shot at me. The man never learns…”

[Pause…]

[K] “Yes, he’s the one who’s butthurt about his family being killed even though they were two of the people responsible for tormenting me most of my life, responsible for these fucking powers, responsible for!”

[He tents his fingers and breathes in and out until he calms]

[K] “I am calm. A leaf on the wind. A leaf with a praying mantis devouring a cricket. Mmmh… Right, I need to step outside and take care of this, my love. Bangles, c’mon! You’ll have your fill of secret agents to tear apart!”

[Pause…]

[Your husband cups your cheek and kisses you briefly]

[K] “Mmh, a kiss for luck from my soulmate… I cannot fail with your taste on my lips. Now, please my angel, stay here and stay safe, OK? It will be alright.”

[You embrace him and he hurries off with the rather grumpy, armored tiger, and you are left to the silence of the panic room… for a minute or so]

[A] “Freeze.”

[You put your hands up and see a young man in a dark suit leave the shadows, gun aimed at you]

[A] “There’s a good girl… Good to know I’m not the only one that can be a bit conniving. Been waiting here for days for the raid to happen.”

[Pause]

[He scowls darkly at you]

[A] “No, I don’t wanna “talk about it”. I want your stupid, arrogant husband to suffer as much as he’s made me suffer. Simple as that. Way he obsesses over you, I’m just gonna go ahead and step behind you. Rest this gun to the small of your back…”

[SFX: A big screen flashing on]

[A screen projects above the two of you, panning over the ceiling with your husband’s bloodied, feral smirk]

[K] “HA! These government dogs didn’t expect my newest round of experiments, did they?!”

[A] “No. Can’t say that we did.”

[Your husband does a doubletake, his smile becoming a thin line of fear]

[K] “...Alan, don’t.”

[A] “Aww, poor King. You already know what’s gonna happen here, don’t you? To your sweet little innocent wife? Yeah… I figured you’d want to know how it feels to have someone completely innocent cut down in front of you… Well, keep watching. I want to see the look on your face…”

[SFX: A hammer clicking back]

[The panic cracks his voice and for the first time since you’ve known him, you see your husband begin to cry]

[K] “Agent, PLEASE-!”

[SFX: A gunshot]

[It’s an odd feeling, watching your midsection blown outward from the force of the shot. You hear King screaming at the top of his lungs in his native language, but you can’t make sense of it]

[A] “... I’m sorry you got caught in the middle of this, miss. I really am… Should have had better taste in men, I guess, because a real man would’ve rather let go of all this bloodshed than risk you… I’m doing you a favor. Trust me… If he got his hands on your corpse, you’d just become another deranged minion.”

[He inhales quietly and steps over your rapidly blurring vision. The remorse in his eyes is immense, tempered only by cold fury]

[A] “...Try and rest now. Wherever you go, you’ll be far from him and all the wicked things he could do to you. As long as the brain is destroyed…”

[SFX: Recommended King pleading or raging in the background for all of this]

[K] “Alan! Alan, PLEASE! Please, for the love of God! I love her, and if you take her away from me, I SWEAR to God-!”

[...?]

[King’s voice changes immediately, soft, soothing, and pleading]

[K] “No no no, shh… shhhh… it’s OK, lovely, I promise! D-Do you remember when we met? We were three and I terrorized you constantly… a-all throughout school, all the way up to college, and you finally had enough of my shit after only ever being PERFECT and angelic and kind and you pushed me in the pool in my white tuxedo… Remember…? You were so upset, my love, even though I kept laughing it off… R-Remember?”

[You try to answer but can’t]

[K] “...Name your price, Agent. Please. I-I’ll… I’ll do anything.”

[Alan gives the screen a cold glare as he aims again]

[A] “You can’t give me back the family you murdered, King. All you can do is watch while I take what is left of yours.”

[SFX: A hammer clicking back]

[K] “ALAN!”

[A] “...Sorry, lady.”

[SFX: One last gunshot]
