Learning a friend has super powers
Well perhaps not evil but at the very least a bad girl. I can't say I've gotten far into the concept but it's an idea I've been considering. A guy is invited by one of his close females friends out somewhere saying that she has something important to show and tell him. He can't really get any information out of her but she's a good friend so he goes. As he pulls up he believes he sees her standing there only to recognize her as one of the most dangerous supers there is. Being a reasonable man with a survival instinct he throws the car in reverse and tries to get the hell out of there only to have her lift his car off the ground with one hand and rip his door off with the other.
As she snaps his seat belt with a flick of her finger and pulls him out he thinks he's screwed only to end up with a kiss. Then in his friends voice she yells. “Surprise!”
Now for this scenario the guy would be lacking in any super powers so he'd be quite surprised by this revelation. Even more so when she picks him up and takes him flying so they can have some private time to talk. They've been friends for a while now and she feels it's time she let him in on her secret and moved their relationship along and while she assures him she won't harm him she will kill everyone else he loves if he reject her.
So a yandere super fem.
Any thoughts?

I'm going to brainstorm a little, but feel free to take anything that works for you and discard the rest. This is your story.
Perhaps, she's not really a bad girl, but the media has portrayed her that way - to the extreme.
Maybe, she has been portrayed as the ONLY evil super fighting against something with Justice League PR, but in reality there is a totally different story. The JL types are in league with a true cabal that is taking over the entire world.
She wasn't supposed to be super and she is cornered and he is the last person she can think of to turn to.
She needs his help. She's the super, but he's got to be a hero to save her and the world. He is in incredible danger. And something needs to be limiting her from simply going all out. It could be a limit on her powers or perhaps she has a family. Maybe, she has sweet kids and a good husband. She has to keep a tight alter ego to protect them, but she needs HELP.
He's an old flame - the only person in the world who she knows really loves her and doesn't have anything in his life to keep him from helping her. And right away she's not thinking about ditching the husband and kids, but she needs his help. At least in the beginning he is not going to get the girl or any glory, but maybe that changes as the story develops. I don't know.
But initially he should be conflicted about helping her, but of course he does help, because he loves her.
This has gotten a bit too autobiographical for me to touch
Just some ideas. Maybe they will spark something for you.

For the last several hours since i saw this post i keep trying to remember a movie from the 80s that had a kind of similar idea. It was about a group of people who are brought to an island and then set off where they are killed one by one by there host- a mysterious criminal supervillian who in a series of flashbacks we learned they eached wronged in there past-through that we get a sence of who he is, and why he becomes kinda of a twisted monster.
Until there is two of them left a man and a woman-and the woman of course is the woman he had a brief but tender rommance with even as he became a kind of phantom of the opera like creature. It turns out that he did this he planned out..really just to show her. to show her what terrible people are in the world in the effort to make her understand him. Which i remember as being kind of neat...even if have been racking my brains to figure out the the title
(THANKS HAPPIEST!!!!)))
Anyway yeah. We need to know why she is bad, why he should be affraid of her, and why she wants to do this..there is a clever idea here for a story that if you flesh out in your style-and no one is better at fleshing things out-i think could really work. The story does have a phantom of the opera vibe i get which does work. And would be curious for the ending.
So good luck on it

I attempted this idea once before but the lady came out as more of a lawful evil. What she wanted from the guy was a jester. She needed someone she's attached to that they can criticize her actions and she won't kill the immediately but someone with the wisdom to not push her over the edge. They'd also need to be able to give her useful information. I don't believe a chaotic character would want that kind of feed back though. What seems more reasonable to me is he makes things more fun for her whether he disagrees with her actions or agrees. For example she wants to kill someone but he convinces her that she'd have more fun if she made it into a game. He can't outright convince her to spare them but he can convince her to give them a chance. Unfortunately this chance will likely be a very unpleasant experience for them.
It may even be the reason she chose to bring him into this part of her life is she's bored. The old games have gotten old and so she needs new rules to make them interesting again. Yet the person has to understand this isn't about controlling her it's about making the game fun.
The evil can be a bit tricky to but less so. I don't imagine she's the I want to rule the world type. Chaotic after all. She's more like Morrigan from dark stalkers in that she wants to do what she wants to do and to who she wants to do it to. The big issues have likely come up when people tried to stop her.

The advanage is well-peace, security at times and the mask of the everyday-and well just a chance to sit home and watch Battlestar Gallactica when you want to-even a chaotic evil character would enjoy that-the rules may not apply to you, but well there is the satisfaction of having the rules apply to other people- to turn it on and off at will is something.
Of course the question is why does she turn it off, why is this over...
Well maybe she grew sick of the old life, or it just turned her off so much that its time to crash and burn it-and well she didn't want him to get hurt.

She may also have become bored and believes this will liven things up. That or perhaps hiding her double life from him has become annoying.
Just a thought I find kind of amusing. Just because you're an almighty bad ass doesn't mean you find your seventy inch plasma screen television being broken funny.

Well, damn, that's almost exactly what happened to me when I was 23. Fortunately her 'kryptonite' was my homemade cherry-cheese Danishes (and the occasional foot rub) . That's right, the very concept of free will on Earth was saved by baked goods.
You're welcome.
Any thoughts?
Looking forward to hearing how it turned out for you !

Point is now controlling him is now very important to her, both to avoid him spawning any rivals, and the prospect of him being able to deliberately or inadvertently amplify her powers. ...And the nagging worry he might take them away. Or that they could fade/vanish if he dies/finds someone else/comes to hate her. Could be the tension driving some very interesting scenes. Until he finds out why, all he knows is he has unusual leverage considering her usually overwhelming advantages. His cards are a face down mystery, but she doesn't hold all of them.
And upon being plucked out of a car by my newly revealed uber-friend, the only comeback that comes to mind is "Well, this complicates things. I had no idea you were also one of the major stumbling blocks for my plan for total world domination all along..." Why surrender or freak-out when you can elevate the level of play?
