My Superhero Title & James Vanare

The villain was in front of me. It was obvious I was going to try to get him in my lasso. When I tried it, he leapt out of my way leaving me lying on the floor. He then grabbed his weapon, a acid gun, and tried to shoot it at me. When he did this, I rolled the other way and called out. “I’m not so easy to pass, Gorilla! When I capture you, I win! I win and I will be victorious!” His face turned red. I thought he was embarrassed and laughed at him. Though this was a very bad mistake. He ran swiftly and punched me. I started to bleed, and he did more damage. I didn’t move an inch. I let him do this. Then, he removed his gorilla mask and showed his real face to me. He told me his name, James Vanare, and told me, ‘Who’s winning now..?’. I got up and looked at him. I suddenly felt something weird as I did. I felt more comfortable with him and more confident. He asked me to remove my mask which I didn’t want to do. But, in the end, I did it and now, I was bewildered. Why did I do it when I didn’t want to do this? I didn’t know. He asked me my name and I didn’t speak at all. He looked at me and bandaged me up. “I’m sorry I got mad. Just don’t say anything like that. My mask transforms me into a nightmare! I’m only doing this, so I don’t get killed myself.” “You’re basically being greedy James.. it’s not right to do such damage to the city over death threats. I can help you! Together! Team work makes the dream work, y’know, that thing!” He smiled at me and held my hand tightly. He dragged me to nearby alleyway. Again, he asked me my name. I didn’t reply. He started to shout at me telling me to tell him my name. I told him to calm down, that he was acting as if he had his mask on. He apologised to me, and we started to talk to each other about our hobbies and perspectives of life. “Yeah! I have a sister to! She loves snacks. She’s young actually.. she’s 20 years old while I’m 36 so quite a long gap away.” He told me. He told me more about his sister and his family. Then, he asked for my name again. This time, I told him my name, Kate Williams. He looked shocked. “The famous model!? Is this for deals?! I punched Kate Williams.. I’m so sorry Miss Williams!” He, to my surprise, looked shocked. “Doesn’t everyone know me..?” “Why’d you get a superhero job?” He asked. “I like to protect others. Superhero’s mainly protect people! That’s what I wanted. When they first saw me, they thought that a model was already good enough! They changed their minds.” He smiled once more and left me saying, “Thanks for your time! I’ll have this sent to the Villain Headquarters! I can’t believe you didn’t guess I was faking. An info gun, whoever thought..?” And with that, he flew away and I? I was now targeted by the villains for life.
