As Violet munched on her P&J sandwich and sucked the orange juice out of her juice box- squeezing it tightly to get the last drops out, the man from before walked into the wine shop and picked up one of the glass bottles. The male then dropped the bottle, it shattered leaving green shards and purple liquid all over the white tiles of the shop. He giggled like and child and buried his hands in the dark hair underneath his hood, the man looked like he was about to have a nervous breakdown as he touched his elbows together covering his face completely.

The lights went out, leaving the natural sunlight to stream into the shop from the entrance then the shop violently shook causing the many wine bottles to roll off their stands and clash to the floor spilling their contents onto the white tiles, as the building shook it caused the various wines and liquors to mix creating muddy browns and vibrant colours. Those closest to the exit scrambled past the villain to get out, a few of the slipping on the spilt drinks and breaking bones due to the hardness of the tiles and the force of the earthquake. Those who did get out had not only saved themselves from the clutches of death but had also effectively stolen the pricey drinks, noticing this a few of the people left so they would get caught. Unfortunately- or maybe it is fortunate- Vivian, Violet's mother, had been trapped at the back of the shop while looking for a particular kind of wine and so she didn't have enough time to escape the collapsing building.

'I do hope that child is enjoying the food I gave her. My last good deed, goodbye world.' The man thought as the shop shook violently again.

The stands that had originally been holding the wine and liquor in place flew from their places and crashed into the walls, knocking over a few people, and crushing people as they fell to the floor. Do the incredible force the walls and ceilings had begun to give way causing large steel support beams to come loose and plummet to the ground effectively killing a few more people along with blocking off the exit to the shop- so now the shop was in darkness. Due to being unable to see, the few alive people decide to lie flat on the wet floor as the violent shakes continued. Still, the man who started all of this stood still, not removing his arms from his face, he was completely unaffected by the shakes that his quirk was causing. Despite the pain in her leg- some shards had dug into her skin- Vivian climbed over one of the smaller beams and looked around for her daughter.

'Where is the brat?'

While she had done and said many horrible things to the girl, she still felt a mother-daughter connection to her. She wanted to feel her daughter warm just to know she was alive and see her beautiful toothy grin that she rarely showed these days. But her daughter was nowhere in sight and anxiety now filled her brain. 'What ifs' filled her head, thinking her daughter had been crushed under the display cases or the stands, what if the red wine on the floor was not red wine but her child's blood?

After some time, the earthquake stopped, and light once again had begun to flood into the now-destroyed shop. The metal beams that had been blocking the exit were being removed by muscular pro heroes, allowing those who could walk to slowly exit the shop and out into the crowd that had formed outside the shop. Vivian one of the people who could still walk stumbled out of the shop and then slumped to the ground exhausted, but she pushed past her tiredness and scanned for her daughter's long white hair but found only adults with such hair. She sighed but looked once again hoping to find her daughter's dazzling royal purple eyes gleaming at her from a distance but once again there was no sign of the child.

By now the annoying reporters had arrived and were questioning customers, onlookers, and heroes overall ideal. Despite him being their number-one hero, the reporters actively ignored the muscular man, but he made no intention to talk to the people who will just twist his words anyway. The said male scanned the area to make sure everything was running smoothly and that no one suspicious was still lurking around the site. When he spotted no one, he took out his phone but quickly put it away after releasing he had no one who would want to message him. After a while, the police found the culprit and put him in a police car unable to peel his arms off his face so they couldn't identify him (truly don't know why it took them so long to find him, he was standing up in the middle of the disaster- lousy police officers).

Slowly the crowd of people diminished, and the reporters left without getting a word from the number 1 hero, Endeavour sighed and turned to walk back to his agency, he thought he would be used to the indifferent treatment that he was receiving but he couldn't stop feeling miserable. As he walked away from the scene, he felt something attack his leg so, thinking he was under attack, he raised his leg and shook only stopping once he saw the small child clinging to his leg. He placed his leg back down causing the girl, Violet, to sigh in relief and gleam back up at him.
