Hello!! So I saw this writing prompt and thought it would be interesting to RP the relationship between the mentioned villain and sidekick, most likely platonic!
“A villain kidnaps the hero’s sidekick, only to realize the hero has been badly mistreating them, and decides to take the sidekick under their wing.”
I’d be happy being either the villain or the sidekick

Absolutely! Would you like to be the villain or sidekick?
I have a character perfect for both so I'm fine with whatever!
Okie doke! I’ll be the sidekick then if that’s all good. Would you like templates or to go in blind?
I'm fine with both, a minimal template might be a good idea though, just basic information no personality or habits
Sounds good! I’ll get one up real quick

Thanks! I like Roswell too! Do you have any questions before we start?
Not at the moment, if I have any, il ask!
Alrighty! I’ll get a starter up soon, either sometime tonight or tomorrow morning
Oh before we start, I’m thinking we could either start a little before Roswell kidnaps Elias or a little after. What’s your preference?
A little before I think, itll give a little backstory as to how they got here
(Sounds good! Sorry this took a bit longer)
Perhaps it was the most ordinary residence, nestled in the back corner of a suburban neighborhood, that housed the adjacent city’s most famed hero—Quiver. The benevolent figure ever at odds with criminals and villains, tirelessly and selflessly working to keep the community safe. Of course his identity was so conveniently concealed that he could return to his equally perfect abode without any prying neighbors peering in through the window.
Oh, and there was his nephew too. Elias, an adolescent and not a seasoned crime fighter, stayed home settled into his bay window while his uncle was away. Although on some recent occasions his own alias was allowed to tag along, just enough for him to get out of the house once in a while. Just enough to have been noticed by the media. This was not one of those occasions.
Rio was out, leaving a trail of destruction for his arch enemy, Quiver, to follow. That wasnt all he had planned for tonight, no, tonight he was planning something far bigger than anyone could have imagined. You see, he had figured out his enemy's identity and not only that, he also figured out that his sidekick was his own flesh and blood, his nephew! He spotted his enemy a couple times, cleaning up things and managed to keep him distracted long enough to sneak into his house to find his nephew and steal him.
Eli froze at a sound that was…somewhere in the house. Perhaps the front door? A window? He glanced over to his bedroom door, tearing the headphones off of his head and waited, silently wishing, that his uncle wasn’t home early. He could hear footsteps. Or maybe he wished it was his uncle. Even with his heart beating his his throat, he tried to convince himself that his uncle’s anger was better than a burglar.
Rio threw open a few doors before chuckling darkly. "Where are you child?" He called. He turned the corner and there was his prize. "Hello love, it's time to go." He tilted his head and grinned, creating a fireball the size of a marble in his palm.
Elias’ breath hitched as his door flew open, and the man standing there was certainly not his uncle. His eyes widened at the little fireball. “No. N-n-no!” He scrambled backwards, hands fumbling to try and undo the latch on the locked window.
Rio chuckled and walked closer to the young boy. "Your uncle is far too busy to even notice your disappearance. Let's go." He grabbed his arm and pulled him out the door.
Eli yanked his arm, or at least tried, to squirm his way out of Rio’s hold. Whimpering. “Let—Let me go!” He pleaded, quite shrilly. “I’m not going with you!” Despite his desperate attempts to drag his feet and kick his way free, Rio was inevitably stronger than him.
"You can either shut up, or I'll make you shut up." Rio growled, pulling him harder. He created a small flame and allowed it to dance across his hand , bringing it dangerously close to Elias' face.
“Oh-“ Elias whimpered at the flame, craning away from it as far as he could. With the threat of being burned very real, the boy obeyed and refrained from speaking again. A million questions were spiraling in his mind— where was he being taken? And what would his uncle do when he found out?
A short journey later, they arrived at Rio's lair where he set Elias onto a chair and tossed him a water bottle. "Get comfortable kid, you'll be here a long time."
Elias reflexively caught the bottle, and after examining it, opened it with shaky hands. “Why? Wh-what…what am I doing here?” He kept his gaze averted, either off to the side taking in the appearance of his lair or at the ground.
"You're here because you are my enemies side kick. You are also his nephew therefore kidnapping you and asking for a large ransom should be a good deal." He said, coming back to where Elias was, a water bottle in his hand as well.
Elias hesitantly lifted his gaze to watch Rio approach, taking another sip of water. “But what if… he doesn’t pay the ransom?” He was almost too afraid to know the answer, silently reprimanding himself for even asking. His uncle would more than likely pay the ransom, Eli’s premonitions were too valuable.
