Dukesaw workplace/superhero x villain AU
(To the people who know where this is from I salute you)
Context: Veronica is the hero but no one either than Martha and Betty know, Duke is the villain but she doesn't exactly know she is because it's not her consciousness.
Veronica is at work and she should be working, but she keeps remembering the villain from last night. The woman is terrifying as it is, but her eyes are creepier.
Then, she felt a hand on her shoulder. She flinches then sighs in relief that it's just her boss, Heather Duke. 'It's just me.'
Duke sits on the seat across her. 'What's wrong?'
'Ah, nothing.' Answered Veronica.
Heather rolls her eyes. 'You aren't fooling anyone. Seriously , what's wrong?'
Veronica sighs. Might as well tell her. 'I keep remembering the villain from last night. Her eyes scare me...' She trailed off, and before she could stop herself 'But when I looked into yours I felt a little better.' Shit 'You uh, have a calming gaze.' She chuckled a bit.
Duke for some reason smiled wider. 'Ok how about this? Whenever you remember the villain, just think of me.' Veronica furrows her brows. 'Think that she can't bother you cause I'm around.' Duke stands up. 'Wait.' She does a little "superhero pose" getting questioning looks from Veronica's co-workers. 'I can already be a superhero right?' Veronica just laughed at Duke's silliness.
She stood up as well. 'Thank you Miss Heather.'
Duke scoffed. 'Don't call me "Miss". We're friends. Just call me Heather.'
Veronica almost short circuited. 'Sure H-Heather.'
'Or, Super Heather.' Duke winks playfully. 'Anyway, whenever you remember the villain, just look into my eyes.' She then playfully flutters her eyes making Veronica laugh again.
'The hell just happened?'
'I don't know but that was not straight.'
