Xian couldn't hold back the smirk. He locked eyes with All Might, the trickling dread in All Might's eyes inflating his ego. 'Ding ding ding,' he said slowly, pushing off the edge of the building, the concrete rough on his palms. He almost thought All Might would say Xian, but hopes are too high today.

'What are you doing here, villain?' All Might asked, readying himself to fight.

'Just looking. You have that sports festival soon,' Xian cooed, looking back over the edge at where the stadium would be.

'Tomorrow.' All Might corrected, narrowing his eyes at Xian.

'Tomorrow,' Xian repeated, the only thing filling his senses was the garden bed of scents that filled his mind.

'What are you planning X?'

Xian made a face of exaggerated offence, putting his hand over his heart. 'I would never!' he exclaimed, his eyes unwavering from All Might's glare. 'The sport's festival is sacred!'

'Are you with the league of villains?' Xian narrowed his eyes a bit, sad that All Might was ignoring his Shakespearean performance.

'Who cares?' Xian muttered, dropping his expression back to cold. 'I'm just here to watch.'

All Might kept his stare on Xian, the two stuck in a sort of mental battle. Xian could tell there was a timer on All Might's muscle form, and from what All Might knew, X's quirk wasn't made for the rain. It was a game of who relented first, except Xian had the upper hand.

'Are you going to arrest me?' Xian asked, looking up at All Might with a dark look, hoping it would work.

'You're a villain. It's my duty.'

'Is it now? I thought it was to protect people.' Xian said, knowing that that would hit a nerve.

All Might stumbled on his words for a fraction of a second, that second letting Xian see the effect Allure was taking on him, the internal unconscious fight the symbol of peace was having.

'My duty is to protect the people by making sure villain's like you are off the streets.' All Might said.

Xian couldn't help but smirk again. 'That's the funny, funny thing, I haven't actually hurt anyone innocent.' All Might's eyes narrowed. Xian couldn't tell if allure was working anymore.

'But of course, you wouldn't believe me.' he sighed. 'Too bad you look like you're about to die, I would have liked to have a fair fight with you.'

'But how do you–' Xian could see the steam rising from All Might, the same steam he saw when he looked down before and he was scrawny. That was the timer.

'See you around,' Xian put his hand out, All Might's eyes widened. The rain droplets shook and exploded, blasting Xian off the roof.

He took no time to look and see if All Might was following him, instead diving into the trees and using another blast to stop him from killing himself, running on foot and doubling back into the school building.

"The last place they would look for me," he hoped.

He pushed open the side doors and quickly shut it behind himself, his shoes smacking the floor hard as he ran through the hallway. He kept going, breath shallow and fast, looking, scanning the room as he searched for a place to hide.

His wet footprints trailed to the staircase, going up and up and up until he hit the floor he was searching for.

He didn't know if it would work, or if it was even here, but he could have sworn he had seen it around.
