In a spider's web

Summary:

A spider can't get caught in its own web.
The spider knows how to stand on its web, so it won't get caught in the sticky strands.

However, the spider has no control over 'unexpected disturbances'...
_____________________

 

Improvisation and impulsive acions will not always win. Often, you need a plan to win.

Not everything is going his way, but it's not so bad that he can't handle it.
What's more, this makes everything seem to be going better than ever.

 

But things aren't going so well on the other side. Where everyone, despite the same goal, has different plans that can fall one by one like dominoes.

Was the enemy supposed to win?

...Sometimes a spider can get caught in its own web.

 

But who is the spider in all this?

 

(I'm bad at summaries)

Notes:

Okay. It was suppossed to be just a one-shot. Not a multi-chapter fic!
But I watched AvA again. And I again saw more ideas and theories!
And I was so excited it! I am still!

This chapter just a rewritten and improved my one-shot ”How unfortunate... But not for him”. And I added some more details.

I would just to remind that English is not my first language, so it very possible that there may be mistakes.

Chapter Text

There was almost silence in the office, broken only by the sounds from the computer. Which would probably irritate and distarct him if he wasn't lost in thought and focused on something else.

He sighed in exasperation and rested his forehead in his hand. He ran his hand over his face, stopping it under his nose.

Then he looked up at the monitor on the desk.

 

He couldn't understand why he was still looking at the security camera recording.

Well he really not sure why.

 

Maybe boredom?

 

Fear?

 

Or just curiosity?

 

What did it matter?

 

He just when an attempt to interrogate failed more that he expected, he decided to focus on something else.

Well, when he waiting as someone found this yellow stick figure for him, he didn't have many other interesting things to do. He didn't actually have to tried find this kid.

He could have continued trying to get informations out of Chosen One. However, he realized that this would be a road to nowhere. No with stubbornness and obstinacy that black hollowhead had.

 

So, he decided to focus on something else.

And if that 'something else' was looking through security camera at orange hollowhead, it wasn't intended.

 

Orange hollowhead, kid, with powers.

Powers more dangerous that those of Chosen One.

Not that he considered kis threat. At least for now.

 

However, watching how kid pounding on the wall was funny. Well... for him. Orange hollowhead didn't seem as amused by it as he was.

He had to admit that he didn't expect the kid to have such a large vocabulary of vulgar words. Who taught him this?

If he was on the subject of this kid... The mercenaries mentioned something about Chosen One shouted this kid's name while they were fightnig with two hollowhead stick figures.

Hm... What was this kid name? Oh right. The Second Coming. What an interesting name.

 

Well, he also had some... concerns.

 

Anyone in his position would be concerned if it turned out that a kid who shouldn't be dangerous turns out to have powers that defeated the Dark Lord.

 

He didn't need a big explode of green light or something.

 

He narrowed his eyes a bit.

 

He had a strange feeling that kid wasn't aware of his power. So that made him not a real threat.

Well... Kid was no threat at all in his mind... until kid saw it when he tried to get something information out from Chosen One.

The only consolation seemed to be that kid didin't know how to use these powers.

 

He leaned back in his chair with a grunt.

 

Well... at least he doesn't seem to know how to use his own powers. Oh, How unfortunately for kid.

Poor thing with no way out.

 

He looked at the screen again. Kid seemed to have given up with his pounding on the wall. Oh, faster than he expected.

He narrowed his eyes a bit in thought.

When he looked closer, orange hollowhead didin't seem to be older than 10, maybe 11. He was very young if he think about it.

For a moment he felt sorry for kid. Only for short moment.

 

He was still focused on a revenge. Don't forget about it.

 

If ge wasn't mistaken, he had also seen this kid and three others in addition to yellow one, when he used his little invention on black hollowhead.

Are they friends?

 

It also seems like kids must have knows Chosen One before.

Maybe even orange one knows him. Aftel all... he is hollowhead too.

 

He smirked.

 

After a thought... kid seemed more cooperative than Chosen One. Kids are naive, aren't they?

Maybe sweet words about doing a favor – like freeing Chosen One or leaving his friends alone...– in return for his help... He thinks this will convince kid for cooperate.

 

He would just have to play it right this time.

 

Orange hollowhead could have powers, but a child is still a child.

 

And even if he will not want cooperate, he just can used kid to convince yellow one to be more willing to help.

 

He joined his hands and rested his head on them. A little smirk appeared on his face.

 

Well...

 

This will definitelly be easier than trying interrogate... Chosen One.
