Villain Rise Mikey Thoughts: Part Two
a continuation of my first villain mikey post ! this is where it gets more m-rated (using archive ratings) so i'm thinking people 17+ can proceed reading, if you're sixteen about to turn seventeen that's fine too but anyone below that, please do not read !!
cw: graphic depictions of violence, drugs, addiction
i left off on fifteen year old mikey discovering a love for baking edibles
it started off small but eventually he started growing his own green and selling in the hidden city
he made connections and they started helping him out– he was a small business owner, keeping his head down, until he crosses paths with a yokai who knows certain recipes for a higher selection of products (if you know my ccc au ocs, prion, a manticore yokai, and carmine, the daughter of boss bruce from the masters of barbarianism, are part of mikey's hidden city inner circle)
mikey agrees to learning the recipes because the money is coming in quickly and he doesn't even have to steal anymore
draxum catches on to what mikey's doing and he's skeptical about it– how will this help with destroying the humans ?
mikey may dislike humans, but he doesn't necessarily want to destroy them.
subduing them sounds more like his style.
draxum's like "oh ! carry on then son !" (he's such a proud dad)
big mama catches on to mikey's operation and how it's taking away from her own criminal empire's revenue, so he's seen as a competitor.
he had picked up on newer recipes, better than with mere mystic weed, he cooks with mystic mushrooms (his mushroom tarts are BOMB) and makes synthetic substances (i.e. acid, mdma, amphetamine) separately.
after big mama tries to sic the hidden city police on mikey, he moves back up to the surface after conferring with his inner circle that they could take care of things without big mama getting in the way
he moves back to brooklyn and does what he always did, tagging buildings, stealing, killing– but that brought media attention.
as much as villain mikey loves to have fun, he goes on to start business topside, stopping his usual criminal activity.
after using his mystic powers sparingly for a while so that he could heal post krang, he makes portals for deliveries from the hidden city, then he starts baking.
he finally kidnaps a few humans to keep as pets, using them to test doses rather than dote on them like they're pets (they're essentially "lab rats", but he doesn't like the fact that donnie would dub them that, so pets it is).
his edibles are considerably smaller for humans, but costly for good reason.
he opens a mutant friendly bakery/cafe establishment as a front, hiring meat sweats as the head chef because he's been a pain in his brother's asses for years.
mikey hires other mutants and a human to work the cafe.
he doesn't really like the thought of them in charge of selling his goods, even if it's just regular food and drink (the mutants and a human employee are also ccc au ocs of mine, ziva, oscar, and miwa kutsuki)
after mikey is done testing all the products on his pets, he goes back to the hidden city with them, giving them to draxum for him to mutate.
he watches the process for the first time, watching how their bones snap and twist, the blood they cough out as they claw and grip at each other in the vat of empyrean they're thrown in.
that's when mikey realises... draxum put his brothers through that. put him through that.
he was a mere hatchling.
he realised his father isn't as good as he thought he was, therefore going mystic on him for a good reason.
draxum can't talk mikey down from it this time, it's only when he accidentally opens a portal in front of raph that the "red angel of preventing harm" busts in with his ninpo and hugs mikey tightly, whispering in his ear that he's safe and he doesn't have to hurt anyone.
mikey suddenly remembers what he did to raph when they were little and stops, the chains burning and choking draxum loosening and fading as he collapses back on the ground of his lab.
"i... i don't want to hurt my family."
after that ordeal, twenty year old mikey leaves the country, making a portal all the way to south america where he finds another hidden city to hide away in.
he loses his boredom motive to wreak havoc, deciding to start honest work there for a while until some yokai approaches him with a plant he's never seen before in new york's hidden city.
he starts growing it with him and they start a business together.
mikey learns how to make flour out of this plant and bakes edibles with hallucinogenic effects, just like his mushroom tarts.
after a while, mikey brings this plant back to the states and starts selling, revenue growing exponentially on the east coast.
he finds out meat sweats completely took over his bakery/cafe, renaming it and stealing millions from him.
meat sweats also fired everyone, since ziva stole food from her job because she couldn't eat and afford her apartment, oscar wasn't focused on his tasks, and miwa turned out to be an undercover agent from japan.
luckily, rupert swaggart only knew the weed recipe, otherwise mikey would have been cooked.
he had been meaning to cut off his weed supply anyway, especially since he found the flower down in south america.
mikey moves out of brooklyn to have an apartment in tribeca, manhattan, closer to where his new business could be.
he opens a new bakery/cafe in the financial district, it attracts all the upper class businessmen with fixed lifestyles.
and for whoever knows the business is a front, it also attracts the substance addicts looking for something better.
mikey gets rich quickly, but he keeps his studio apartment in tribeca, buying out the whole building instead of renting.
he installs his own greenhouse at the top after the city grants him permission, which alerts his brothers of his location.
he dismantles it and decides to rent all around manhattan, an apartment in each district.
mikey housed homeless mutants in his extra apartments, but his hospitality ran very thin.
the only rules were not to trash the place and to cover for him if anyone comes up to the door and asks for him.
villain mikey grows extra paranoid in his twenties, he feels as though everyone is out to get him, even his regular clients.
he bakes as a stress reliever, manages his bakery/café under an alias.
sometimes he works at the till with a cloaking brooch after long periods of isolation, just to interact with people.
after all the years he's been ingesting mystic weed, he hadn't tried anything else, knowing it could affect him as a business owner.
then after a depressive episode, twenty three year old mikey tries his trademarked mdma.
he joins the rave scene and makes connections there, as well as getting a few new willing pets to try his south american mystic baked goods so his demographic expands.
carmine comes up topside, telling mikey she needs him back in the hidden city.
so mikey returns and finds that prion, his right hand yokai, died from an overdose of mystic opioids, which he thought was bullshit because prion swore he would never touch the crap.
he knew that big mama was behind prion's death and decided to set fire to her auction houses, her third biggest revenue source.
he dipped into mania, selling full sized mystic pastries to whoever asked.
it's been years since mikey talked to his dad.
draxum was converted to his brothers' side and no longer resided in the hidden city.
he used to take pride in who his father was, now looking at him made him ill.
it was time boss bruce made his successor the donna of the masters of barbarianism, proving her worth by managing mikey's drug operation well in the hidden city for a decade.
carmine was allowed a few months before her induction, so mikey decided to bring her up topside.
being a tall dragon lady, she's bound to turn heads, so she wore a cloaking brooch whenever she went out with mikey.
mikey started coming down from mania and carmine was there for all of it, helping him get clean and caring for him when he was crashing.
he always really liked carmine, but everything had to be kept professional, right ? right ?
carmine had to return from her surface vacation to follow in her father's footsteps, and mikey was left alone again to manage everything.
he's sober for the most part, mystic weed still keeps him calm so he doesn't get aggressive.
by the time he reaches his late twenties, villain mikey gets bored again.
what – or rather who – will satisfy him ?
