I hummed gently, earbuds in. I nodded my head in rhythm to the beat of the song. I smiled while doing so, feeling good about myself. I was super excited for school strangely. I shook off the weird excitement as I reached the front doors of the school.

I ignored my ex-friends who all hated me with a passion. Apparently I didn't match their vibe or some dumb shit like that. I continued to walk on before he came up to me. I took an earbud out while smiling at him.

"Hey Blake, what's up?" I asked, pulling a pair of gloves out of my bag. I put them on before grabbing his hand.

"Nothing much, my loser of a dad came home drunk off his ass last night. Can't believe he would do it again," he said nonchalantly. I frowned at this and walked closer to him.

"I'm sorry," I said with sympathy.

He waved his hand as if to wave away his problems before saying, "Always too sympathetic. Love that about you." I grinned at him before letting go of his hand.

Now, you may be wondering why. My poison is really toxic. It seeps through anything in approximately 1 minute, but direct skin to skin is 5 seconds. timed it before when I knew nothing of my quirk. The only thing is that...

It takes only 8 seconds for the poison to...well, kill someone. That's why I never can touch anyone for too long.

We talked down the hall, occasionally holding hands. I could tell the gloves were starting to wear out as my hands were sweating. The poison was starting to damage the gloves.

I stayed a safe distance away from him as we joked. I laughed at his stupid jokes and he did to mine. I only could grin at him while we gazed into each other's eyes.

The bell then rang.

HAHA, I LOVE SCHOOL SO MUCH...

It was finally last period and the bell finally rang for us to go. I was asleep before the bell woke me up. I yawned while stretching. I grabbed my bag and headed for the door.

"Hey, Blaine. May I talk to you for a moment?" Mrs. Gray asked politely. I rolled my eyes before facing her with a smile. She smiled at me and pulled out a seat for me.

"Blaine, you have been sleeping an awful lot in class lately. Is everything ok at home? Are you not able to sleep?" she asked me with concern.

I shook my head and said, "Yes, everything is fine at home and no, I am able to sleep." She then frowned and knew something was up. I was getting annoyed with her.

"Well, you can tell me," she said, concern in her eyes. I opened my mouth to speak, but then decided against it.

"Nope, everything is ok. I need to get home for homework," I said, quickly leaving before she could say anything more. Ugh, teachers are so concerned. They need to chill it and not pry into my stuff!

I began the walk home in a foul mood. I put my earbuds in and played Hollywood Undead. I continued on walking in the music.

"Is that her, boss?" The driver asked. The other man nodded, waving the others to go do their job. The car screeched to a stop once they reached somewhere private.

The others in the car grabbed her with their specialized gloves, tying her up and throwing her in the car. She struggled against the restraints before they knocked her out.

I woke up to darkness. My head was pounding with pain and I looked around to see nothing. My mouth was muffled and I was tied to a chair. I fought fiercely against the restraints before someone came in.

He had hands all over his body and one on his face. He had light blue hair. He seemed ominous. I could only glare at him with hatred.

"Why did you kidnap me?! I will kill you if you try to touch me!" I screamed into the muffle. He only stood in front of me before removing the hand from his face. He had wrinkles in his eyes and mouth. He had a scar above his upper lip and looked as if he had never slept.

"I'm the one holding YOU. I could kill you if I wanted to. But, that is not why I brought you here. Join the League of Villains or you can decay into the waste you are," he spoke emotionless. I looked up at him with disbelief.

"I...I will not," I said, glaring.

He only frowned, touching the man watching over me. The man screamed as his arm turned gray then to dust. I watched in horror. He then narrowed his eyes at me as the man whimpered for his lost arm.

"I think you would be a great addition. Me and you are nearly the same. We both killed people in our family. Oh, yes, I know you killed your brother when you were just a kid. Really a shame you were careless. You now can see we are the same person, just different blessed quirks.

We both use our hands to get what we want from others. You get protection and I get power. I say that we could work together to destroy those heroes you despise.

The ones that raided your home because they thought a villain was hiding in there. Then, they couldn't even save your father from those pathetic weak villains." he said, holding a hand underneath my neck. This forced me to look up at him into his dead eyes.

I felt my heart pounding in my chest.

I thought of how they didn't save my father and of how they destroyed our home. They were good for nothing "heroes". I felt the anger bubbling inside me now. I thought of how all those others like my father they couldn't save.

I grinned deviously at him and he returned the grin.

"Of course I'll join. After all, who wouldn't want those heroes dead?"
