I remember seeing someone making this pun but sadly I forgot where I saw it, but credit goes to that person for this one.

Hero frowned at the unlisted number on his phone as he answered. “Hello?”

“Hero, it’s me.”

Hero choked. “Villain, but how did you get my number-”

“You need better passwords, but that’s a discussion for later,” Villain said. “I am in need of assistance.”

“How so?”

“I told Minion I wanted to be in support of Pride and to order decorations for it.”

Hero shrugged. “So?”

Villain gave a deep sigh. “They misunderstood what I meant by ‘Pride’.”

Hero blinked and suddenly the light bulb went off in his brain. “They thought you meant lions?”

“They thought I meant lions,” Villain confirmed as they heard a series of growls in the background. “And they broke out of their cages before I could send them back!”

“You got sleeping darts don’t you?” Hero asked. “Use them!”

“I was in the middle of refilling them when the lions broke loose, and now I am currently trapped in my own bathroom and I am fairly certain Minion is hanging off the ceiling fan,” Villain snapped.

“Okay, okay, calm down, I’m coming, mountain fortress again I presume?” Hero said and then paused as they smirked. “Also, I’m glad you called me.”

There was a cough. “Yes the mountain fortress and well, I don’t have much choice do I?.”

“No,” Hero admitted, “but it must really hurt your PRIDE to do it.”

There was another pause.

“On second thought,” Villain replied, “I’m going to let the lions eat me.”
