As I wait for Abby to show up I watch some TV. It's the same-old-same-old a couple on a plane or at the park or even world-ending apocalypses. kill all the monsters and survive. That kind of stuff. Nothing really interested me though, nothing ever truly does I just pretend as it does. If there had to be one thing that actually interested me it would be simply watching people seeing their reactions to different objects or phrases. While I'm deep in thought Abby sneaks in and creeps behind me 
     "Boo, " she says. Jesus Christ! I yelp back.
      Good your not dead she pouts. Oh great, what's wrong... what did I do now? I question.
       Nothing... (sigh). I was out with some friends and heard a rumor.
        Okay... well what was it then?
         It was that you encountered someone from a group that calls themselves "the league of villains". Is this true? Please tell me this isn't true! They said that the person was capable of taking down multiple pro heroes. Is that even possible?
     (Sigh)... I don't think they were THAT powerful. I could have taken them down if I wanted too. Although they were pretty insistent that they wanted some of my blood. Even a drop would have been fine they said.
     WHAT! THEY WANTED YOUR BLOOD!?
      Yeah... And? I don't see the problem. It's not like the could do much with it that they couldn't do with some hair or skin.
     Not unless it's for someone's quirk. Besides, it was still a stupid idea anyway. Next time I'm coming with you!
      Ok fine if you insist. There was a long pause before the lunch bell rang and we went our separate ways again. After the third period while I was on my way to quirk history I bumped into someone and dropped all my things.
     Oh, I'm so sorry. Here let me help you.
      Thank you I said while they were helping pick up my items. Their voice was soft and calming. Kinda like a small kitten. But right after I felt calm I had an intense feeling of deja vu like I had met this person before. But I just couldn't put my finger on it.
     "Here ya go. " They said while giving me my things.
      "How can I repay you? " I asked them. They didn't say anything. They just handed me a note and winked.
       Geez, again I thought while taking it from them. Uh thanks, I guess I mumbled before looking back at them but, they were already gone. I walked to my third-period class as normal and thought it would be a normal class but the teacher explained that we were going to the gym because the other class had gone to a much vaster area for specific training. I didn't think much of it until one student in the middle of a science lesson shouted.
     "someone help" he cried out up and down the hallway. The league of villains attacked my class. The teacher practically dashed out to the student. While the class sat in confusion I snuck out and listened to their discussion. I couldn't hear much so I just followed the teacher instead.
