Slightly late but hope this is alright. 
 
 
 “ My plans for the future? Find a girl, kiss her, take over the world ” 
 
 The man in the black, velvet suit sighed, lowered his wiry glasses to the bridge of his nose and adjusted the papers in front of him. His eyes locked onto me, black and inky like the deepest depths of the ocean, he paused before sighing again and opening his mouth to speak. 
 
 “ Are you serious about this position? ” 
 
 His eyes narrowed as he scanned me up and down. I found myself examining the area around me which was dimly lit by torches mounted to the walls, the dull dripping of water echoed around the chamber creating an eerie beat in the background. Behind him was a huge letter ‘ E ’, the emblem of evil. 
 
 “ Are you serious about this position? ” He said again. 
 
 “ Of course I am, I want to be the best super villain there has ever been. I want cities to bow in respect to me, people and superheroes alike to quiver at the mention of my name, power, fear, I want it all. I want the world to know who I am. In short, I want the world. But I also want the girl, finding a Mrs Death to share the world with me, to help me invade and conquer, to help me bring this world to its knees. I ’ m willing to do anything to get what I want. ” I replied. 
 
 “ Doctor Death. You must understand something if you want to become a part of our villainous organisation. Five simple words, that if you don ’ t grasp could cause problems in the running of day to day shady behaviour. You will consistently be defeated and our plans will be thwarted. That would be simply unacceptable doctor. Do you understand the gravity of the situation? ” 
 
 The suited man ’ s eye ’ s pierced my chest, as if looking through my soul, or what little of it was left. 
 
 I nodded slowly and deliberately. I tried to swallow but my mouth was too dry, my palms became suddenly moist as our eyes met. The stare continued. For the first time in a long time, I was filled with fear. Playing the super villain for so long, I had long since forgotten the flutter of a nervous heartbeat, the lump blocking my throat. Was this the right decision? Joining a group of super villains meant that world domination was no longer a fantasy; it was within my grasp, but this man. He was unsettling, his calm demeanor and measured tone gave nothing away. His cards were very close to his chest. 
 
 “ We never get the girl. ” 
 
 “ Excuse me? ” 
 
 “ We never get the girl, Doctor. It ’ s simple really. In order to run a successful super villain organisation one must accept the truth. The heroes get the girl. That ’ s the top and bottom of it. We try but ultimately, we fail. Every single super villain worth anything gave up on the silly notion of love many years ago. You would be wise to do the same. ” 
 
 “ I… I don ’ t understand ” 
 
 “ Look Doctor, on paper, your application is near perfect. 20 years ’ experience managing nameless grunts, a good repertoire of cities you ’ ve terrorised, your own lair, access to seemingly endless new technologies, an outstanding evil laugh and that outfit alone should qualify you. ” 
 
 I looked down; I had chosen my most elaborate costume for the occasion. Huge black boots, tight leather pants and a long leather jacket with a blood red shirt. Atop my head a magnificent hat adorned with feathers and my initials, Double D, emblazed across the top. Chains hung from my ears and my polished jet black cane rested against my leg, the golden top shone even in the dimly lit cavern. The full get up. 
 
 “ Basically, you have everything we ’ re looking for. But this is unfortunately a sticking point for us. There have been hundreds of super villains before you, many of whom have fallen by the wayside because they get side-tracked from their goals by the promise of true love or trying to kidnap their way to happiness. It ’ s a fallacy and it will hamper the aims of our organisation. This will not be tolerated in any way, shape or form. So I ask you this. Can you get rid of this desire? You do not need to find this girl. You need to focus on the task. Can you do that? ” 
 
 The man ’ s breathing was heavy, his cheeks slightly flushed, his eyes flashed with anger. 
 
 “ Well? ” He almost shouted. 
 
 I met his gaze, his eyes looked like that of a man gripped by madness, but I no longer felt the fear I had earlier. The man ’ s mask had slipped. 
 
 “ My plans for the future haven ’ t changed. ”
