Good thing this was requested (by Sxeneslvt) bc I sorta forgot he existed.

Quick reminder that, behind the mask, Mr Compress is actually pretty hot 😏🤭❤️❤️

Mr Compress' POV:

It all started while I was watching TV. The news was on but I wasn't really paying attention. That was, until a certain villainess was mentioned:

"The infamous villainess known as Star Actress has struck again, this time at a local pro hero's agency. Coming with a flurry of lightning and unnecessary special effects and leaving a path of fire and destruction behind her, Star Actress uses her quirk of Lightning and love of acting for evil once again. Here is a recent picture of her, taken shortly after her dramatic exit. If you see her, please call (phone number)..."

(That's your villain suit^)

I had never seen such a beautiful, evil and talented performer before. Star Actress was the perfect rival for me, her fellow villain and performer.

I was determined to beat her, even if we were both villains. Right now, she probably didn't even know I existed and I was about to change that.

I would commit such a dramatic and news-worthy crime that everyone would forget about her and focus on me.

And thus our rivalry began...

~•~❤️~•~

Your POV:

I don't usually watch the news, but today I decided to put it on.

What I wasn't expecting was for it to be about another villain and performer who had committed a crime dramatic enough to rival mine:

"League Of Villains member and well-known criminal and performer, Mr Compress, attacked Mustafu's local theater at around ten am this morning. But unlike your usual every-day break-in, the said villain did not steal or kidnap anyone. Mr Compress meerly crashed the show that was being performed at the time, scaring the actors half to death and destroying most of the props. The villain put on his own magic show, which included turning a few spectators into marbles and setting the stage on fire. It appears the criminal wanted to, not only cause destruction, but put on a good show while he was at it..."

"That was nowhere near as spectacular as my crime." I scoffed, watching the clips of Mr Compress wrecking havoc at the theater.

"I must prove that I am the better performer!" I said to myself, curling my fingers into a fist dramatically "It appears I have a new rival for top performer and villain! Bring it on, Mr Compress!"

~•~❤️~•~time skip or whatever

"Ah, Mr Compress, we meet again!"

I ran surprisingly fast in my tight dress as the sound of sirens could be heard from somewhere behind us.

"It would appear so, Star Actress." Mr Compress answered, doing parkour over trash cans and swinging on lamp posts.

Even while running from the cops, you had to admire his capability to put on a good show.

Normally, we didn't work together (as we were rivals) but there was a performance that we both wanted to see and apparently we both had the same idea to blow the place up as soon as the show was over.

So we ended up working together, with him compressing the guards into marbles and me summoning a bolt of lightning with a snap of my fingers. If only someone from the audience hadn't called the cops. Heroes were probably on their way right this minute. Good thing a true performer always has a few tricks up their sleeve.

"Dang it, I can barely move in this thing!" I huffed, referring to my dress, before turning on my heel and shooting a narrow bolt of lightning at a lamp post.

As I expected, it sparked out and plunged the street into darkness.

I quickly evacuated into an alley under the cover of the shadows. I had lost sight if Mr Compress while my back was turned towards our opponents, but I trusted that he had gotten away (even if he was my rival, we were on the same side, after all).

I heard running footsteps as the pro hero Manual ran through the street, looking around wildly for me and my partner in crime.

"Where did they go!?" he asked one of the police officers.

"I don't know!" he answered, beginning to search the area.

I held my breath, hoping they wouldn't come my way. Unless they came to the very end of the alley, they shouldn't be able to see me in the darkness.

One police officer started walking towards me. My heart rate quickened when he lit a flash light- Crap, why didn't I think of that!?

I squinted as he pointed it directly in my face. I was cornered.

"Over here!" he yelled, pulling out a gun.

Just then, the police officer disappeared. No, not disappeared... He turned into a little blue marble! I looked up and breathed a sigh of relief as I recognized the mask of my rival.

He was standing on the roof of the house I was standing up against, offering me his hand. I thankfully reached up and he grabbed my hand, hoisting me up to the roof.

"Thank you." I said, standing up straight and dusting off my dress.

"No problem." he said, voice muffled by the mask "Just think of it as a favor. From one performer to another."

"They're up there!" we both turned in the direction of the voice.

Sure enough, we had been spotted. If we stayed here for much longer, they'd catch up to us.

"Come on!"

Mr Compress grabbed me by the hand and pulled me forward. We ran, side by side, along the rooftops, jumping from one to another.

He compressed anything that got in our way and I electrocuted any of the police officers that tried to follow us.

Soon we reached the roof of a tall apartment building and deemed it safe to stop running- we had lost them.

"We make a pretty great team." I commented, sitting at the edge of the roof and letting my legs hang over the side.

"We do indeed." Mr Compress agreed, sitting down next to me.

To my surprise, he took his mask off, revealed part of his face. The rest was covered by yet another mask (it's giving Kakashi. iykyk).

Though most of his face was still concealed and the light was dim, there was no denying that he was good-looking.

To be even, I also removed my mask as well.

"If we weren't rivals, we could have teamed up." he said, almost longingly.

"Who says we can't?" I countered "I've always admired you for your talent in the arts of performing as well as villainy and we've just proven that we work well together. Even though we're rivals, we're not enemies."

"That is true." he said slowly "I would love to work with you from time to time, Star Actress."

"Y/N." I corrected "We're partners now, right?"

"Right. And you can call me Atsuhiro." he smiled.

We sat in comfortable silence, watching the stars and listening to the sound of distant police car sirens.

Little did we know that, after a while, we would become much more than just partners. Our relationship from rivals to partners wouldn't stop at that...

~•~❤️~•~ BONUS! (two years later)

Me and Atsuhiro walked into the theater, hand in hand.

"It was a great idea to come here for our two year anniversary." I told him.

"Glad you like it." he smiled.

We had disguises over our villain suits and our masks were in our bags.

We took our seats in the front row and waited for the show to start.

I admired the actors skills as they played their roles and clapped for them along with the rest of the audience. The actors bowed and the curtain closed at the end of the performance.

I reached into my purse and pulled out my villain mask. Atsuhiro did the same.

"You ready to blow this place up?" I asked him, putting my star-tipped mask over my eyes.

I saw the smile on his face before he covered it up with his mask.

"Born ready."
