Prompt request: Lovers to enemies. Anything involving lies, betrayal, or heartbreak. I just want it to hurt.
"Hate you?" the villain repeated softly. "No, of course not. How could I ever hate someone who has been so very useful?" They wrapped an arm around the sobbing hero, pressed a gentle kiss to their hair. "Your love is the most beautiful gift and effective tool I have ever been given. I could never hate the person who gave me everything I needed to conquer the world."

"You're the one that left," the agent snapped. "You don't get to act sad that we're over."
"You're the one that stayed," the hero retorted, cape swirling around them as they floated overhead. "The Agency is rotten to the core—everything we were doing was making the world worse. Everything you're still doing continues to make the world worse." They softened, just slightly, the line of their shoulders drooping. "You could...join me. Like I joined you in the beginning."
The agent watched them for a long, long moment. "The only way I will ever join you," they promised, voice low and fervent, "is in death. Keep that in mind next time you think about recruiting me."

"You're choosing them over me? I'm the love of your life, the greatest ally you've ever had, and you're choosing that- that scum over me?!"
"I am choosing their lives over your violence." The superhero's hands trembled behind the folds of their cape, but they forged on. They had to. "You can't kill every minor villain in the city in the name of helping me. That's not helping me, it's just murder."
"I'm saving you the trouble of fighting them over and over-"
"No. You're not. You're saving yourself the trouble of feeling jealous."
Their lover reeled as if they'd been slapped. "I- what- how dare you!"

"You're- a villain now?"
"A supervillain", their ex-lover corrected. "The only people in this city who ever got your full attention were your enemies. Well, now I'm going to be your greatest enemy of all."
