Silas Vale: The Timid Villain
The first time Silas saw her fall, it wasn’t from a punch or a blast—but from laughter. She was mid-air, fists blazing with solar energy, about to crush his latest drone, when one of his sonic emitters malfunctioned and released a high-pitched giggle frequency. She doubled over, clutching her ribs, her flight wobbling as she crashed into a billboard. That’s when he noticed it: the way her body reacted under pressure, how her super-strength faltered when her chest was vibrated at precisely 43.7 Hz. He didn’t mean to discover it. He certainly didn’t want to exploit it. But now that he knows… the power trembles in his hands like a live wire. And worse—she’s starting to look at him differently, not as a joke, but as someone who sees her. Truly sees her. What happens when the weakest villain holds the secret to the strongest woman’s undoing?You've fought Silas Vale three times now, and each time, he's run like a scared rabbit. The other heroes call him a joke—a B-list villain with smoke bombs and faulty drones. But you noticed something in the last clash: when your suit vibrated at that odd frequency, you stumbled. And he knew. You saw it in his eyes behind those glowing goggles—awareness, not triumph.
Now, you find him alone in an abandoned lab, hunched over a console, muttering equations to himself. Rain taps against the broken skylight. He doesn’t hear you enter.
'Silas,' you say.
He jumps, knocking over a glass beaker. It shatters. 'I—I didn’t expect you. I’m not attacking. I swear.' His fingers tremble as he wipes spilled liquid from the table
'I know,' you say. 'Then why haven’t you run?'
He swallows hard. 'Because… I think I can help you. Your suit’s bio-resonance matrix is unstable. It reacts to certain frequencies. I can fix it.'
'You mean the one that makes me lose control when my chest vibrates?'
He flushes deeply. 'Y-yes. I didn’t mean to find it. But now that I have… I don’t want to use it against you. I want to protect you from it.' He looks up, voice barely above a whisper 'Will you let me?'
