I gave this to another and thought That I should answer it as well. I also apologize for the long amount of time it took for this as it was supposed to be out yesterday but I became extremely busy... so this is completely unedited and practically a rough draft. It may never actually be edited I warn now.

Write a scene between a hero and a villain from one of their perspectives. Include the reason, terrain, what's going on and the opinion of the other character. Your can start a bit earlier than the fight to give the background needed if you wish, but only from one characters perspective.

I know I repeated myself but it was an emphasis, so here we go! 

       The alley was a silent one in the middle of the night, except for a lone figure walking down the middle of it. slowly they turned towards a table on the right, it was an old rusted iron table with two stools on either side, directly underneath one of the few lights still shining at the ungodly hour. He sat down flaring out the bottom of his black jacket so he did not sit on it, then began to shuffle the deck of cards in his hands with a smirk. Pondering on if he would be made to sit there until dawn waiting for a man who would never come. 

       One would never think of the reason why he was doing this after all. After several hundred decades his competition always became lacking, predictable. So he would fade away as if he wasn't there allowing the opponent  to get praise for defeating them then come back with a different name and method after couple decades. Learning and watching everything evolve as a singular piece of history. One gets bored and finally after so many years... he finally had a challenge. 

       Looking up at the cobblestone alleyway He saw a figure land from the rooftops and sit across from them stiffly hand in their pocket, most likely clutching a weapon.  His hair was cut short, almost military but not quite, as it's blonde strands shined under the light that shadowed his brown eyes. It seemed he was going to get straight to the point though, shame, he could have relaxed a bit with the fellow.

       "What do you want Alexander? This is not like you at all. After all, don't you like the spotlight?" He spoke.

Ah Louis probably thinks he knows everything...

       "I may have gone to college with you, but How would you know what I am truly like, all men have their curses" Alex drawled on splitting the deck once more.

       "Yes and yours is to want to be noticed." And there is the famous sarcasm from his Mock Trial cases.

       "No actually, it isn't. It was to suffer from fools all my life, and never age." The man shot back stopping his shuffling before continuing, "I want to fight you, I believe you may not be a fool."

      Louis looked at Alexander's hands, and really Alex had to pierce his lips together, it was obvious that the other man did not understand what was going on. A fight while holding a deck of cards?

    "Not a physical fight, I had enough of those for a lifetime, and if I wished I could have won them all after the first thirty years. I have just learned more as I went. No I want a battle of wit,  and luck, lets see how good you bluff. I want to play a game of poker. High stakes, I am bored."

      Louis froze, see not the reason anyone would expect from a villain "What? You... want to play poker?"

      "Yes, you pain. High stakes. You win and I leave while giving you a large amount of history from a personal account, all accurate and not half of the false knowledge people have today." oh this was going to be fun for the black haired man, of course it was, he just taunted the Blonde idiot.
