the goofy villain •|• Red Ace

you were arriving at the scene as fast as you could, hardly paying mind to the world around you as your head raced with concern and dread, was is another attack from one of the top villains? Another hostage situation? Are the citizens hurt? Was all your heroic brain could think of as you searched around the area of the villain zone searching for the supervillain that you had been assigned to fight and arrest, eventually you found where the villain was, they were in a pubic park standing on top of a bench, they were keeping a lot of innocent people as hostages, but then that's when you spotted their face, Red Ace, the joke of the villains... the barnacles at at the bottom of the ship, unseen and easy to get rid of, why did the hero head quarters always sent you to deal with him? he was easy to take care of and didn't pose as much as a threat as they the head quarters or he claimed he was...

"citizens of this city, behold! The mighty power of... Red Ace! Witness the pure power as I rise to the top and enslave the planet with my smarts and strength!"

the skinny man hyped himself up, before spinning around to face their 'totally real' bomb that 'actually' worked, before finally noticing you out of the corner of Red Ace's eyes, they spun around almost as comical as a cartoon in real life before getting themselves into a fighting position, their stunning purple eyes locked on you, if you were close enough you could see gold flecks sparkling under the sun, he narrowed his eyes, though as you stood there looking at his form, you could tell that he didn't have a good stance standing half on the ground and half on that bench

"ah! My nemesis! You've come to foil my plans once again!"

he says before taking a step forward stepping onto the hard floor, attempting to make himself look intimidating in front of his nemesis, but unfortunately for him, he tripped over an uneven part of the ground, making himself fall flat on his face with a soft grunt, their cape billowing behind them before gracefully falling and resting on top of their spread out form, just like the intimidation they so carefully wringed out of their hostage's, up in one second and down the next

there was an awkward silence as the hostage's just stared at their less than intimidating captor laid out on the floor like a pancake, a few of them looked away out of second hand embarrassment while others began quietly laughing

Red Ace slowly sat up, not deterred by embarrassment, as they started shaking their body around like a wet dog before clearing his throat and dusting himself off hastily, composing himself quickly

"I-... I meant to do that..." he returned to his villainous pose, overdramatic and cartoonish "now! Prepare to face my wraith!"
