Notes: For
100_women, prompt "blue".
Summary: She's always liked blue eyes.
Violet almost says something. Syndrome’s walking away and she honestly doesn’t know if she’ll ever get another chance, but there’s no sound when she opens her mouth, just the feel of her heart leaping into her throat at his parting words.
When everybody’s super, no-one will be.
Syndrome feels alone, and she knows that feeling so well it hurts.
Syndrome has blue eyes. Violet’s always liked blue eyes. Maybe once upon a time she could have looked into his eyes and seen the hurt soul beneath, maybe once upon a time she could have looked into his eyes and felt a flutter in her chest and mistaken it for something like love.
Maybe once upon a time was only yesterday.
Maybe yesterday she could have looked into his eyes and seen anything but the anger there, maybe yesterday she could have looked into his eyes and felt a jolt in her stomach and mistaken it for anything but fear.
Syndrome has blue eyes, and they’re colder than ice and terror.
Violet has always felt alone, but her family are beside her and she knows they always have been. Always there for her when she needs them.
And Syndrome doesn’t feel alone, she has to remind herself. Syndrome feels more super than any of them, because he thinks he is better, he thinks people deserve to die just so everyone can see that he’s better.
Once upon a time, the bad guys were her teachers and the cheerleaders at school and her parents in a bad mood.
Yesterday the bad guy didn’t have blue eyes.
Violet almost says something, but she can’t. Because her first thought is to tell him she understands, tell him she recognises his pain. But every thought after is to tell him she could never understand, and he’s cruel and evil and he will never be more than that. He will never be super, and the word echoes in her head.
The door closes behind him and Violet feels like she can breathe again, and then there’s nothing but the need to save her family, blue eyes already fading from her memory.
