#hero son

hey i recently found your work and love your writing. Can you write something about a supervillain dad and a hero son??
“Hands up,” the super villain motioned with his gun, face impassive. The hero swallowed as he complied.
“You won’t shoot me,” the hero said, but it was too hesitant to come out as confident as he wanted it to.
His dad raised a brow. “Won’t I?”
The hero sucked in a breath. Held it in for three. Out for three.
“Do it, then.” He was proud of how steady his voice was. “Shoot your only kid.”
“You say that like being my child means something.”
“If it didn’t, I’d be dead already, dad.”
His father’s face was weary, but the gun didn’t lower.
“I’ve let you have your heroics. I’ve been very generous, actually. Do you know how many plans you’ve fucked up? Plans I gave permission for?” The hero didn’t respond. “It ends, now.”
The hero steeled himself.
“No.”
His dad lowered the gun, but he suspected it was more out of surprise than anything else.
“No?”
“No,” the hero repeated more firmly. “You heard me. I know you did.”
“I heard you,” his dad agreed. “I was giving you the chance to change your answer.”
The hero grit his jaw, shoulders set.
“It won’t change.”
His father sighed, rubbing a hand over his brow.
“Why must you make things so difficult?”
“I’m sorry my morals are getting in the way of your hobbies,” he snarled. “Here, let me move out of the way of your most recent murder attempt.”
“Don’t take that tone with me,” his father snapped. “Have you forgotten that you’re my most recent murder attempt?”
“How could I?” He scoffed. “Kind of hard to ignore my father’s attempts on my life.”
“And yet you still insist on playing hero—”
“Because it is the right thing to do,” the hero interrupted, hands clenched. “And I will never stop trying to do the right thing so long as you are doing all the wrong ones.”
His father looked like he didn’t have a clue what to say to that.
They sat in silence.
“Does family mean nothing to you?” His father said finally.
“Family is not an excuse for bloodlust.”
“Your mother—”
“Do not.” His gaze darkened, and his father shifted uncomfortably. “She is not a scapegoat for your actions.”
“She died—”
“And how many mothers have you killed trying to soothe the pain of her death?”
His father lowered the gun.
“I will not let my son continue to play hero. It is a sign of weakness, to have you out here undermining me. I won’t tolerate it.”
He realized, then, that there was only path out of this moment. There was one solution. One chance.
“Whoever you are, you are not my father.” The blow struck true. His father flinched. “And if that’s the case, if the choice is being your son or being a hero, then here’s your answer.”
Power began to crackle up his arms, reflected in his father eyes.
“It’s a shame, dad,” the hero said, eyes glinting. “You lost your only son, and you didn’t even have to kill him to do it.”
The supervillain paused, for a second, just one, pain flashing across his face, before he raised the gun once more.
This time, the supervillain didn’t hesitate before he fired. Didn’t bother to watch if the hero got out of the way in time.
The supervillain would never kill his son.
But if his son—the hero. But if the hero had decided he would rather be dead than family?
Well, who was the supervillain to deny him that?

Percy at ease
Tumblr media
Percy calm, but a little on edge
Tumblr media
Percy when mildly angry
Tumblr media
Friendly reminder that Percy jackson - our beloved silly adorable seaweed brain - is absolutely terrifying. When he’s angry, when he’s scared, when he’s on edge - he’s not warm and fuzzy.
No other character gets that reaction from people. Jason (the sweetie) is perceived as calm and in control, nico (our favorite self-outcasted outcast) is perceived as solemn and creepy, reyna (girlboss queen slay) is perceived as confident and assertive, and annabeth (our girl) is perceived as fierce, clever, and formidable. They are all intimidating to an extent.
But not like Percy. No. Becasue even when he’s at ease, he’s described as wild and disobedient. And when he’s not at ease, even if just little bit, he’s perceived as powerful, dangerous, and scary. Someone who NOBODY wants to mess with. Nobody even questions his power. One look from him has literal gangs running the other way. One look from him has Leo so scared that he’s literally shaking, and feeling the same innate fright and alarm that he does when jason summons an ear-piercing, earth-shaking, deadly bolt of lighting.
like… HELLO??? can we all just sit on that for a moment?? good lord
One angry look from percy has people thinking one thing: Run.
Percy is, canonically, the character that people find the most frightening and intimidating.
And unless he’s in a good mood - which you better hope he is - the reality is that most of us would be completely terrified of him if we met him.

something. about. the horror of being sent on an impossible (death) quest and obligations and hospitality politics. the trauma of not having a home, and then the trauma of being in a house that becomes actively hostile to you, one that would swallow you whole and spit out your bones if you step out of line. all of this is conditional, your existence continues to be something men want gone.
it's about going back as far as I can with the perseus narrative because there's always a version of a myth that exists behind the one that survives. the missing pieces are clearly defined, but the oldest recorded version of it isn't there! and there's probably something older before that!! but it's doomed to forever be an unfilled space, clearly defined by an outline of something that was there and continues to be there in it's absence.
and love. it's also about love. even when you had nothing, you had love.
on the opposite side of the spectrum, this is Not About Ovid Or Roman-Renaissance Reception, Depictions And Discourses On The Perseus Narrative.
edit: to add to the above, while it's not about Ovid, because I'm specifically trying to peel things back to the oldest version of this story, Ovid is fine. alterations on the Perseus myth that give more attention Medusa predate Ovid by several centuries. this comic is also not about those, either! there are many versions of this story from the ancient world. there is not one singular True or Better version, they're all saying something.

percy has been called smart by hazel, reyna, and annabeth (twice).
to say he’s actually dumb is to disagree with those three women. and if you are disagreeing with 3 of the most knowledgeable, capable, and badass characters in the series… what are you even doing?

Thinking about being a nanny for single parent Dynamight and you’re done for the day, chatting about how everything went. Conversation turns casual and as you’re turning to leave, his son runs up and shouts “LOOK AT THIS!” and then yanks his dad’s shirt up. Chiseled flesh with a perfect amount of a happy trail leading to more that you’ve thought about once or twice. Heat rises to your cheeks and you turn away, but not fast enough and Bakugou catches your lingering gaze.
“Quit it, kid,” he ruffles his son’s hair but doesn’t pull his shirt back down. You make your excuses and leave. Bakugou wishes you a good night and watches you make your way back to your car, flushed.

The funniest thing about Son of Neptune is not Nico gaslighting Percy. It's Hazel calling Nico a Scrawny White boy.
