“And now I finally have you in my clutches!”

The villain dramatically monologued to the poor hero taken prisoner in there own home. Once the villain knew the secret identity it was only a matter of time before this happened. Suddenly a girly shriek filled the room as the villain laid eyes upon the hero’s pet. A large yellow and white python slithered across the floor in between the two nemesis. The grunts holding the hero loosened their grip as they prepared to bolt.

“What-is-that?”

The villain whispered as they took two steps back.

“Okay first, his name is Bob, be polite. And second, Bob is my pet. I was feeding him whenever you decided to come flying through the windows and descend from the ceiling on cables; Very impressive by the way because my insurance policy doesn’t cover evil ambushes!”

“Your a good guy! I thought good guys had dogs! Not serpents!”

“It’s a python,”

The hero corrected him, still cocky as ever despite being currently on his knees at the villain’s mercy. The villain seemed to forget that the hero was at his mercy though as the python curled up around the hero,draping over their shoulders and letting its tongue smell the air in the odd way snakes do. The villain shuddered. The hero continued with his rant.

“And I thought bad guys had white cats. Or maybe hairless ones? Scorpions? Sharks?”

The villain shook his head at each of these.

“You don’t have any pets? No wonder your so evil!”
