Chapter Text
Cuteguy returned home after a long night of being a superhero. He pull off his superhero outfit and put on some PJ. He hide his superhero outfit in his closet and flopped on to his bed. Grian had a long day of being head architect ahead of him. His nightly fights with the Dream team and Syndicate weren't doing him well.
-----
Theseus had a great plan! He was going to kidnap the city's head architect! He told Bee and Lethe about his plan. Bee was on board, Lethe was more or less fine with it! The three snook out of the Syndicate base just before sunrise to get grab him.
The three arrived at the architect's house. Lethe teleported in and unlock the door.
"Tom- sorry, Theseus, this such a good plan! Angel is going to be so happy!" Bee said while beaming as they enter the house.
"Bee, be more careful with names." Lethe sound annoyed as they told Bee off.
The three made their way upstairs to Grian's bed room. Theseus kicked his door down and Lethe used another one of their powers to freeze Grian in place.
Theseus stood up straight. "Mr Grian, you're being kidnapped by the Syndicate! You'll be returned after ransom is paid."
"Wha- Huh- How?!" Grian was clearly panicking.
Bee looked to his closet. "Oh! I'm going to steal one of his comfy looking sweaters!"
Lethe rolled their eyes "Really Bee?"
Bee opened up Grian's closet, before quickly slam it shut.
Theseus gave Bee a curious look. "Whatcha find Bee?"
Bee looked nervous "Oh nothing.... I don't really need a sweater... I already have loads..."
"What did you find?" Theseus walked over to the closet and opened it.
"WHAT THE FUCK?! NO WAY!!
Lethe was confused by this reaction to the inside of a closet, they poked their head in, looked back at Grian, then back at the closet. "No... way... The architect's Cuteguy?!"
Bee used his pollen to put Grian to sleep.
-----
Grian awoke tied to his chair with non other then the Blade staring down at him.
"Damn, Theseus wasn't kidding. So Grian, or should I say Cuteguy, do you know why your here?"
"The kid said he was going to ransom me or something..." Grian still felt drowsy and was having a hard time thinking.
The Blade smirked. "That was the old plan. Now that we know your Cuteguy... things have changed."
Grian was panicking, he had no way to get out and no way to call for help.
"Your going to tell us who all your friends are... or I can make things a little more fun."
"I'm not tell you anything!"
"We'll see how long that lasts."
The Blade pulled out Grian's phone and used his Face ID to open it. "Let's see..." The Blade said well going through Grian's contacts. "Scar Goodtimes? Who might that be? He's listed as one your emergence contacts... he has some of the same scars as Hotguy... I wonder..." The Blade hit the call button.
It rung a few times then Scar picked up. "Grian... it's 5 AM... Why are you calling me? Is something wrong?"
"We have Cuteguy in our custody," the Blade said in a menacing tone.
-----
Scar was panicking. The Syndicate had kidnapped Grian and knew who he was! He called Xisuma.
"X! We have a problem!"
"Scar it's 5:30 AM... if you lost your bow again just call Grian or Mumbo..." Xisume sounded tired. He often did the night shift for the heroes.
"But Grian-" Xisume cut him off.
"Then call Mumbo... He'll help you find whatever you lost..." X hangs up.
Scar started panicking more. X was too tired to help. Scar quickly called Mumbo.
"Hello? Scar? You're up early." Mumbo did not share the sleepiness with X, Mumbo liked to wake up early for work. Scar was glad to hear is voice.
"The Syndicate kidnapped Grian!"
