the “best friends who had plans of changing the world together but then one of them betrayed the other and now they’re on opposite sides and the one who betrayed the other is now morally grey and kills people but they still can’t bring themselves to kill the other because deep down they’re still in love with them” trope>>>>

You asked for Team Leader Whump prompts, I complied. Can't write a full-length piece due to finals.
Team Leader Whump Prompts
1. It is a battle between the team leader's pride and their teammates' safety. Say they choose their safety, how long does it take until they go insane?
2. Whumper exclusively wants revenge on Team Leader. They threaten them with harming their teammates. So, compliance. But actually their teammates are incarcerated, but otherwise unharmed. Whumper just wants an easy way to make Team Leader submit to them.
3. Betrayed by their team w/3 alternate endings:
i. Classically, they suffer both the pain of being betrayed by their team and whatever Whumper wants to do to them.
ii. Whumper gives them an offer to join them and get revenge on their teammates. Bonus if they become Team Leader's caretaker. Team Leader refuses at first, but after realising it won't lead anywhere, they agree. Cue whumper-turned-caretaker and an apliance of convenience.
iii. Same as ii but instead, Team Leader utterly refuses because they still want to keep fighting the opposing side, even if they are still hurt by what their team did.
4. TL takes the place of a much more fragile whumpee. How long do they last?
5. Team Leader escapes. They either:
a. Have to be their own caretaker
b. Show up on Caretaker's doorstep and literally faint on it. Bonus if they're touch-starved and Caretaker slowly helps fix that. I just loveee this trope.
c. Make it to a hospital because that's rare.
d. I hate this one soooo much. They die.
4. Team Leader is rescued by their team, and they slowly learn to live again.
5. Team Leader takes all this torture so that one of their teammates can live. Whumper ends up killing them. So TL snaps and w/the power of hysterical strength, they murder Whumper violently.
6. TL used to be very idealistic. After they escape/are rescued, they are hell-bent on getting revenge on Whumper. How does their team react?
7. TL escapes, only to find out they've been replaced, and everyone thought they were dead. They're still welcome to be part of the team, but all of this just hurts.
8. Post-rescue, stoic Team Leader refuses any help beyond with what is fatal. How long can they keep this up?
9. Team Leader is the caretaker to a rookie whumpee. Bonus if they're normally so stoic, but they have a soft spot for the rookie. Double bonus if the rookie is significantly younger than TL.
10. Team Leader does NOT care how dangerous Whumper is. They search relentlessly for their team, and they finally find them.
i. They rescue them and either kill or capture Whumper.
ii. The only way out is to give themselves up.
11. Team Leader is a wonderful liar and manipulator. They start out by being stoic, refusing to break. Then, they pretend they've finally "caved in", and start divulging complete lies to Whumper, laced only with the tiniest bit of the truth.
i. Let's say Whumper is a sadist, but a person of their word, so they let TL go, thinking they've broken them already, if how horribly they're sobbing on the floor is any indication. Wait till they find out.
ii. Whumper does not let them go. Maybe, they're just a bit more lenient. Obviously, they hurt them worse once they find out. But, TL takes it all, knowing they've managed to score a small victory on Whumper.
12. They manage to manipulate gullible Whumper enough to drive them insane, by prying at their deepest insecurities, earning worse and worse punishments, until Whumper can't take it anymore and literally begs them to leave. Cue the smug, "I thought you'd never ask."
13. Team Leader is veryyy outwardly stoic. To the point that Whumper just gives up. But deep inside, they're broken, and they just want this misery to end. (Yayy Whumper gives up and lets them gooo!!)
14. Team Leaders of opposing sides are both captured by a greater enemy. At first, both stubborn knuckleheads refuse to even look at each other. But then, they come up an escape plan, aka alliance of convenience, then two whumpees being each other's caretakers after they escape. You can have them fail several times, but they develop such a strong bond (mutual need to survive), that they don't give up ,and they both finally make it out. Bonus if they both kill Whumper with their (Whumper's) own knife/gun/whatever.
15. Team Leader and another much less long-suffering whumpee escape together. TL is very protective of this whumpee. Are they each other's caretakers? They get help from their team? A hospital? A mix of any of these?
16. Team Leader wasn't actually Team Leader before. They were a solo agent. Got captured alone. Made it out alone. Nursed their wounds and tried to go back to their normal routine alone. Trained harder than ever to make up for time spent in captivity alone. This is so impressive to the others that this new honour hugeeee responsibility is thrust upon their shoulders. What happens next?
Sixteen prompts only because I'm literally sixteen. And why not? Also, not spell-checked or proofread.
i am giggling and kicking my feet these are incredible
