=~•Patton's POV•~=
Why are we doing this? What is the point of burning down a building with people inside it, IF we are meant to be heroes. The other two didn't look slightly concerned about this whatsoever, but I feel like this is wrong. Scrape that, I know it's wrong. And when I asked why we were doing this, the only answer I got was that this would lure the villains in. Supposedly, if a villain sees destruction, they will come to assist the other. This reasoning sounds absolutely ridiculous and I'm starting to get thoroughly annoyed, which is odd for me. There is no way they will app- well I be damned there here.

I was staring out through one of the windows of the burning building that we had secretly set a light before pretending to put it out. The fire that was being used was Roman's who can make us invincible to its destruction. That was when I saw two of the villains staring at the building with fear and surprise. I alerted my boyfriend about this who in turn, threw a small boulder through the window. The boulder was hurtling towards them at around 30 mph and was surely going to impact on them. My guess was proven to be wrong, as the darker dressed super grabbed onto the other before running to his right. I saw the piece of earth crash onto the pavement they were once stood, before rolling off to reveal a large crack that spread throughout the path. If that was to hit them, ketchup would have been the sauce for the road. I saw the fires around me grow and rage more as Roman grew quite angry. He has anger issues and I know that from him speaking to people who get on everyone's nerves just for them to crack.

The fire stopped all at once as I was picked up by Ro and got lifted by the wind that was surrounding the crumbling building. I was placed lightly on the floor as Roman followed, then Logan. Both of them get very serious whilst using their powers for some reason. Their powers are just so cool though but mine are basically useless for fighting, all I can do is manipulate people's emotions and give them migraines. The thing is I don't need to be able to see who the person who I wish to give migraines too so I had been ordered to give all of the villains one, after a few minutes of the fire burning. We had all made our way safely to the solid ground, right before running after the fellow supers. To be honest, I don't want to fight them, I wanna be their friend not enemy. My boss, J, says that my emotions and morals are my weakness but I see them as a gift. Some people are not so lucky to feel a plethora (Logan taught me that word) of emotions. Just like Lo. Due to his adoptive family, since his parents had died during a plane crash he wasn't allowed to go on, he had a terrible time at feeling loved and accepted. He hid his emotions, leaving him looking like a robot some days.

As we sprinted towards the two, we noticed a pile of clothing, sitting on the floor with no owner. We kept on running towards the direction they had gone in to see a dark alley. Like strangely dark. Power dark. I really don't want to scare them but I think that's already been done. It is also worrying that they could figure us out due to our voices. Ro lit up his thumb, before walking into the alley. Most of the shadows had disappeared apart from the natural ones in the corner. Lo sighed before talking.

"It appears your attempt to lure the other humans with abilities has failed, like I had anticipated," he spoke.
"Oh shut up nerdy, not the time. They're still here I can feel it, in my gut," Ro growled at him.
"Now now kiddos, fighting won't solve anything but I don't understand the poi-"
"Wait isn't this the alley that villain died? The shadowy one, what was its name?"
"It appears you are talking of the infamous Cryptic who perished from an attack."
"Yeah that one. Heh no wonder they ran here, it was one of their parents."
I had been cut off from asking what the point of finding them was and something that stumps me is that these kiddos are just the children of villains so they doesn't mean they are evil. If my idea was right though then why would they run in villain alley. The thing is, I was still giving them a headache so I could tell that they were still in the alley. My power was stronger here, telling me that they must have been in one of the corners. A small sound came from the corner, a hissing sound. We all turned towards the corner.

Roman travelled closer towards the back of the alleyway with his fire. The sparks shone on something near him and my voice got caught in the back of my throat. Before I could see anything, a punch was landed on Ro's face before a blob of darkness ran past us quickly with a yellow thing coiled around their neck. I saw Roman get up with a bruise already forming on the bridge of his nose, he quickly ran out of the alley followed by Logan and me. I saw the kid run far down the road and slide around a corner. For a quiet kid, he definitely could run fast. He travelled down the road before Ro had lifted the ground into the air. I could practically feel the fear radiating from him. As I moved closer I saw that the yellow thing was a snake: a hognose snake. I've always loved all animals so I know what specie it was.

Roman approaches closer with his knight sword pointed at them threateningly. I know he would never hurt the innocent on purpose unless given a reason. The snake, who I assume was the other kiddo called Janus, placed a hat on his head that was once sitting on his tail as he flicked his tongue at us. A few seconds past before a yellow poof of smoke to reveal a large bird. Maybe a dinosaur but whatever it was, it was Rawr-some (That was really shit, I'm sorry). The bird started flapping its wings before taking of with V in his claws. I saw him smile before being held about 7 feet in the air.
"Hah you should see your faces because you look ridiculous," he quote from Tangled I think it was since it is one of my favourite Disney films.
"Did you just quote Disney?!" Ro-Ro shouted at him who simply shrugged and stuck his middle-fingers up. I fought the urge to shout at him for his childish behaviour but decided against it so I didn't reveal my identity to them.

I saw the look on Roman's face and Logan's. I didn't know what to do. They didn't seem like the Disney villains I know but instead just wrongfully accused teens. I'm no lawyer but I feel like we are the guilty ones. I excused myself from the group and said my goodbyes before heading home to take off my blue suit. For some reason, I felt so sorry for them. Maybe my emotions are a weakness.

I made it back home before curling up on my bed after getting changed into my pyjamas that had paw prints on and bold letters spelling, 'Paw-sitively Tired'.
I collapsed on my bed before falling a sleep soundly. Today was a bad day. Are we the heroes or are we the blind villains (two of us wear glasses so maybe we are also blind heroes)?

Another chapter completed. If you would like to know what a hognose snake is, let me explain. The hognose snakes' most distinguishing characteristic is their upturned snout, which aids in digging in sandy soils by using a sweeping, side to side motion. They also like to burrow in masses of humus. Lieoheterodon species are known to dig up the eggs of lizards. I kinda wanted to add proper dad jokes but I couldn't find were to place them. Until next time, adios!
