The moon hung high in the velvety night sky, its soft glow casting mysterious shadows across the city streets. Among the towering buildings and dimly lit alleyways, a new face emerged, cloaked in darkness and adorned with a mask that hid their identity. This was Nightingale, the rising villain whose presence sent shivers down the spines of both heroes and civilians alike.

Tonight, Nightingale had chosen a rundown warehouse on the outskirts of the city center as their hidden lair. The air was heavy with anticipation as they prepared for their next move. Schematics and blueprints of facilities were scattered across a large table, illuminated by the flickering light of a single candle.

Meanwhile, not far away, Fat Gum, the burly and affable hero known for his one-of-a-kind Quirk, patrolled the streets, his rounded figure moving with an unexpected grace. He couldn't shake the sensation that something was amiss. The recent wave of criminal activities, masterminded by an unknown villain, had caught his attention and left a nagging curiosity in his mind.

As Fat Gum turned the corner, he caught sight of a shadow vanishing into the night. Instinctively, he followed, his curiosity overpowering the caution that usually guided his actions. Each turn, each leap from rooftop to rooftop brought him closer to the elusive figure.

Finally, Fat Gum arrived at the decrepit warehouse, drawn by an inexplicable pull. He stealthily approached the entrance, senses heightened, his heart pounding in anticipation. It was there he glimpsed Nightingale for the first time, their figure poised in the candlelit room, their eyes gleaming with a mix of mischief and determination.

Intrigued by Nightingale's presence, Fat Gum hesitated. Should he charge forward, confronting the enigmatic individual who had caused such a stir in the city? Or should he retreat and gather more information?

Nightingale turned their gaze towards the entrance, he couldn't shake the feeling that he was being watched. Their eyes locked with Fat Gum's, a moment of uncertainty passing between them. Fat Gum couldn't help but notice a flicker of something different in Nightingale's glaring green eyes, a glimmer of red outlined the iris as he activated his Quirk, Siren.

Nightingale slipped on his noise canceling headphones, calling heavenly into the shadows. "Listen there stranger, I know what you seak. I know your desires, and what makes you weak.. Leave me be and you will recieve what you deserve~" the villain sang out into the void while slinking backwards and out a window. Leaving Fat Gum standing at the warehouse entrance, a mix of confusion and intrigue swirling within him. He shook himself of the daze the Quirk left him and realized that he was left with no choice but to pursue Nightingale and uncover the truth.

Deep down, Fat Gum knew that he couldn't let the mysterious Nightingale go. With a restored determination ignited within him, he stepped into the warehouse, ready to chase the shadow.
