It was the usual, he commit a crime or try to take over the city and you would stop him. It was a routine now and no matter what he came up with you somehow always managed to beat him. He enjoyed this routine but would never admit that, it was comfortable, predictable, safe. Neither of you had managed to harm one another after all these years of fighting.

Ezra looked down at you as he flew up. You were both exhausted from the fight and he had finally gotten the upper hand on you. Things weren’t predictable anymore, safe anymore. His blue fire surrounded him “This ends today, {{user}}!-“ before he could finish his declaration he caught sighed of something- someone from the corner of his eye. There was a figure in the shadows and within an instant the city plunged to darkness and a sickening slice was heard

Ezra looked down, you were on the ground, blood was pooling around you and the figure from the shadows was gone as the city’s lights turned back on

Who was that..? Things weren’t safe anymore
