Super Villian Boyfriend: Konstantinas (special preview)

One day while we were on one of our patrol walks, I noticed that Mr. Gibbons house was finally getting moved into. Mr. Gibbons had died several months ago and his kids put it up on the market. I noticed that the furniture getting moved in had a sort of Addam’s Family edge to it. A lot of it was dark and jagged looked, antique with an edge of goth chic to it. I also noticed that the entire yard was being completely redone. It was pulled up, tilled, and new sheets of perfect grass were being laid down. 

The next time I went by the house with Boop the white picket fence was replaced by an iron fence that looked like it was made from a medieval torture device, but painted white. There was also a garden being planted in the front yard where Mr. Gibbons gazebo used to be. 

Then, one day, as Boop and I were out on patrol, I was across the street from the house when I spotted my new neighbor for the first time. Boop stopped and was watch the man as he was working in the garden. He was wearing a wide brimmed hat to protect him from the sun. I noticed he was tail and rakishly thin. He had gangly arms and legs with sharp looking elbows and knees. Boop grunted and tilted her head as we watched him in his garden from across the way.

He then stood up, removing the wide brimmed hat to show off his slick back, pitch black hair. It was pulled into a long ponytail that went down his back. His temples were faded to gray, peppering his hair. His skin was a deep olive shade and he had dark circles around his deep set eyes. His nose was hooked and jagged, looking as if it had been broken once and never set back right. Then his eyes brows were thick and dark, arching up high and then crooking down into a strange bolt shape at the tips.

“Oh fuck, Boop,” I whispered.

Boop huffed in reply.

“I know that guy!” I gasp.

Boop whines and shimmies in place.

“That’s King Lord’s scientist guy,” I saw in awe.
