'And that's when I saw her, just at the gates. I mean what a way to have a family reunion-'

'Hey, I asked for the hero discount! Why can't I see it on the receipt?' Xian looked up in confusion, wondering what the ruckus at the counter was about when he saw three "pro heroes" standing at the front, yelling at the cashier.

Xian eyes narrowed in disgust, watching the three not listen to the woman as she explained that because this is a small business, they didn't offer a hero discount.

'Tch.' Xian spat, Toya eyeing him carefully.

The scuffle settled down as the manager got involved, the heroes taking a seat on the opposite side of the shop, bickering to each other.

'Dabi, I think I know exactly what we need for our romantic date,' Xian said, his voice low and dangerous, nothing like the cute tone he usually spoke with.

Toya's eyes glanced over to the table of heroes, knowing full well what Xian wanted to do. 'Yeah?' he asked, excitement trickling off his voice.

'Yeah.'

The two watched the heroes as they talked amongst themselves, enjoying their food and drinking their coffee, all the while having their own as they watched the group like hawks.

Toya felt a slight unease at what Xian was planning to do. There were three of them. Xian felt the same way. It was only recently that he became a villain, and in that time he spent most of it taking down corrupt politicians, CEO's, small heros at best, but these were three pro heroes.

What the world didn't know about the factory he blew up yesterday, was that it was an undercover operation for human trafficking, and that all the people dead were either the suppliers, or the buyers. None of them were good people.

But of course it was covered up, because why would a villain go after other villainous people? It was just another terrorist attack made by X to scare the public.

Xian watched as the heroes finished up their food, getting ready to pay for their meals. Game time. He gave Toya a look and pushed himself out of his chair, paying for their meal and walking out of the cafe.

During the time spent waiting, Xian did as much research as he could on the Hero's, finding out their agency, their quirks, and who they were. He knew everything, and that included how to take them down.

'How do you know which way they're going to go?' Toya questioned as they walked down the street, Xian trying to find an alleyway they could hide in to follow the hero's.

'Their agency is this way, I doubt they would skip work,' Toya scoffed a little at Xian's condescending tone. "Obviously someone's determined."

Just as Xian was about to explain the plan, a group of footsteps passed the entrance of the alleyway, and the three targets were in plain sight.

'Told you,' Xian snickered, heading to follow the three heroes with Toya sighing and following behind him.

They walked seven blocks, heading towards the eighth when Xian decided to put the plan into action. He tugged Toya's jacket, signalling him to go. The area they were in was perfect for the plan they were about to execute. It was the area where there weren't any residential areas, just factories and businesses with the occasional shitty overpriced food shop.

The industrial area. 

'Help! Hero's!' Xian yelled at the top of his voice, screaming it out.

The three heroes in front of him turned simultaneously, running back to where Xian stood, panic riddling his body.
