6:37pm - In the car

As they were all playing around while Val was driving. Villain, slouching in the passenger seat, was moving his hand around in little circles while it was glowing sapphire blue with a beach sand looking texture.

People who have these powers are born with them. Only 1,000 people are born with powers every 20 years. One day, somebody from July 25th 1980 found a stone. This stone was then cracked open to find some crystals. Instead, it released a gas that only specific people could breathe in. If 1 or 2 people within a relationship had a kid, that kid would have a 5% chance to be born with powers. The person that was born with powers can carry the genes on throughout the soon-to-come family tree.

The car comes to a stop. Val expresses "We're here." Villain then looks up with his eyes while the sapphire power fades away.

He then gets up and steps out of the car. All he could hear were the sweet screams from all around.

He let his head tilt back, closed his eyes, and took in a deep breath. He lifts his eyelids, opening his eyes, now glowing the color of his power, and begins to float above the now cracked and broken road.

The guys and Val start to steal and collect things. While they are doing that, Villain looks around at the horrified people.

"Pathetic! You are all weak. Nobody will come to save you, you fools," Villain yells out to the crowd of people. As one does, ya'know, as a villain.

A voice of an unknown being of existence is heard, "Oh, so I'm a nobody? Last time I checked, I was at least something with feelings."

Villain turns his head to look over his shoulder to the voice. His narrow eyes lay upon a 'savior' floating in the air with the color yellow and a scratchy texture coloring his eyes and hands. The texture was more like cross hatching than anything. Villain likes to draw.

Villain has seen many saviors... but this one is different.

How different?

"You can call me Hero," they say, "And what do I call you? 'Tall, big, and scary'?" He chuckled.

Villain noticed something. Something rather... unusual... about Hero. Although he couldn't quite put his finger on it.

"Villain. You can call me Villain," he responds with.

"Well let's cut this short, this is taking up my lunch time." Hero says as he rushes toward Villain, starting to push him to a nearby building.

As Hero is pushing him, Villain gazes into Heros eyes as if he'd known them forever, even though he's never seen him before.

Why does he feel so familiar?

Hero stops, the force and momentum of the push sending Villain flying into the building walls.

When he comes to a stop, he chuckles "Wow, you are no normal savior, that is for sure," in a low voice.

He's seen many different saviors over the years. Some bold, some prideful, but none of them were like him.

Hero questions that statement with a smirk, "Is that a good thing?"

"Maybe, you will have to find out," Villain smirks.

He sees something in Hero that he hasn't seen before... or at least he thinks he hasn't.

He doesn't know what this unsettling feeling is but he wants to know. He wants to figure it out.

Hero floats back a little, "Are we done for now? I'm starting to get hungry, I want to eat."

Villain starts to stand up, grunting from the pain. He notices that Hero flinches when he grunts.

Weird.

"I guess, but are you alright? You flinched when I grunted." Villain asks. Just because he's a Villain doesn't mean he can't care.

He chokes on the pain, some new cuts that formed from the corners of the building bricks burn into his skin. Like an unwelcome factor.

Hero hesitantly responds "Oh, um, nothing," he loosens up a bit before continuing, "but meet me at the water fountain in the woods at 8 pm. I want to get to know my 'enemy' better."

Villain is hunched over with one of his hands on his knee while the other is covering a large wound. He has blood swept across his face from his mouth while looking up at Hero.

So much damage in so little time. That's... rare.

He's surprised by that question. "Alright..?" This has never happened before.

Enemies getting to know each other? Why would anyone want to do that?
