Evil Villain Meets Innocent Civilian
based on this post. i had a cute Dergan idea for it. :3 this isn't whump, just pure humor and fluff...though future whump is implied at the end.
"It's nothing personal, really. A man's gotta make money somehow, y'know? And if the government really wants to be paying villains to kidnap and torture innocent civilians to convince the general public to trust a bunch of people in spandex with superpowers with their lives -- well, it's better than a desk job. What was your name again?"
"You seem awfully calm about being kidnapped, Derek."
Derek was sitting calmly as Logan tied him to the chair, making sure his ankles were firmly bound to each chair leg before moving up to his arms, which Derek had helpfully placed behind his back. It was a little irritating; usually his victims would fight back, or beg, and usually cry. Derek did none of the above.
"It's a psychological response to fear," Derek says. "I'm too scared to accept the situation, so my brain is choosing to treat it as a situation that doesn't warrant fear. Sorry if I gave you the wrong impression."
"Oh. No, it's fine. That just means I'm doing my job right."
