Bio: Jacob, or Jack, was born into a "Hero" family: parents, siblings, grandparents, aunts, uncles, and cousins are all heroes. Even he was going to be a hero at one time. However, things do change. When Jacob was being trained as a sidekick, he noticed that the hero's life was not exactly the best fit for him: having to follow rules and laws, having to restrict his powers if it might injure civilians, and not being harsh on villains. The ultimate incident that culminated in Asher's fall was a mission with his hero that almost resulted in Jacob's death.

Bio:

It had all started quite peaceful in the large city. The night had disappeared and the morning was just starting: construction crews began their loud work of trying to modify the roads or build the next apartment complex, people crowded the streets as they made their way to work, the roads full of honking cars and buses as they slowly make their way down the streets.

The First Bank was no different. A line had formed, criss-crossing back and forth to keep it more organized. Tellers rushed around trying to fulfill customers' requests. "Next!" A teller shouted as he helped finish an elderly customer. A young man approached the stand. "What can I help you with, sir?" The teller was moving paperwork back and forth on his desk. "I'd like to make a withdrawal, hun... a large one!" The young man suddenly withdrew a gun from his jacket and pointed it at the teller.

A scream could be heard and suddenly everyone was clambering to the exits. If the young man's only goal was to rob the bank, then he would've needed a plan to keep everyone inside the bank. However, that was not his only goal. It won't be long. He thought with a smirk.

"Freeze!" A lone security guard had somehow sneaked up on the robber. "Put the gun and put your hands above your head." Although the security guard was trembling, he kept his gun pointed at the young man. "As you wish." The young man, still hidden behind a large, black coat, suddenly dropped his weapon. The guard seemed almost shocked that the young man had dropped it. "Alright, now put your hands behind your head." The guard ordered.

"I heard you the first time." The boy smirked and began to fold his hands behind his head. However, the boy suddenly pointed a hand at the guard. A flash of orange surged across the room towards the guard. The guard' gun had been shot out of his hand by the beam. The guard just stared in shock, looking down at his now disintegrated gun. "Wooh, it's hot!" The boy shrugged his jacket off. "You know what's funny? Robbing a bank with a fake gun when you have super powers." He chuckled loudly, his eyes glowing orange and having an evil glint in them...

"Please, let me go!" The guard begged as they made their way to the roof. "What did I say? Shut up and do as I say! If you do that then you can go back to your pathetic life." Their was venom in the young man's voice as he kept one hand pointed at the guard. His other hand was occupied by a dufflebag full of money. As the guard unlocked the door to the roof, the robber could hear sirens. "You know they'll come, right?" The guard said as they stepped out onto the exposed roof. "Yeah, that's the plan." He smirked.

"He's at it again." Nathan muttered bleakly. For weeks now it seemed that they had been following this villain. He always quickly showed up to do something bad and then just as quickly disappeared. The few encounters they had with him had not succeeded in his capture. They had dubbed him "the Trickster" for both his clown makeup and his evasiveness.

"Should we call for backup or should we try to capture him before he does anything stupid?" Nathan turned to look at his partner.

Nathan let out a small sigh and nodded. It wasn't like both of them couldn't take him on. They had both fought him previously, but each time he had escaped before. "Let's do this, but we have to make sure to trap him. The little bastard is a lot quicker and smarter than he looks." He said. They were both currently on a taller building that neighbored the bank. He's fast and his ranged attacks are powerful. He has some skill regarding close combat, but he's physically weaker compared to other superheroes and villains. If Hannah and I can manage to cut off any escape and fight him in close quarters... they would have to be quick and precise.

"Please, someone! Help me!" The guard shouted. "Neh, neh. For someone in danger you don't have a lot of self-preservation." Jacob gave a cruel smile, but he made no move to reprimand the guard. His eyes scanning around, almost as if expecting something to jump out at him. They should be here. He thought for a split second before a bolt of lightning came sailing at his head. He quickly pushed the guard forward and sent in his body backwards to avoid being hit. "Oh, they're here." He smirked, his eyes fixated onto the area where the lightning bolt had been sent from.

Nathan landed onto the roof of the bank building. His eyes were narrowed at the villain. "So, you came after all." The villain taunted with a cruel smirk. "Help! He's insane!" The guard had managed to crawl back to the entrance to the roof and quickly escaped. "Ugh, so annoying." Jacob muttered with narrowed eyes, his body shifted to watch the guard squirm his way out of the confrontation. "Oh well, you two wouldn't go all out if he were still here." The look on his face made it appear that he wasn't all that interested in recovering his captive.

Jacob just continued to smirk at the two. "Because it is a game, at least for me it is..." He responded to the hero known as Red Flare. He had to watch her carefully, her power over flame was something Jacob admired about her. "Hmmm? I wonder what I want: money? Notoriety?" He shrugged his shoulders and waved his empty hand passively, as if he didn't really have anything he wanted to gain. "Perhaps all I want is a little chaos to cause you-" The dark-haired villain had to stop mid-sentence when a fist came shooting at his face. He was quite shocked that X-Ray would make the first move. Usually he was a bit more calculating, but he must've thought it was better to be quick with Jacob. While the shock was evident on the villain's face, he quickly recovered and avoided the attack with a quick slide to the left. "Oh?" Sly grin matched with playful eyes. The villain's eyes quickly glowed orange, as well as his hands. He quickly quickly swung his right leg up and landed a hit on the man's stomach. Nathan stumbled back a bit and narrowed his eyes at the villain. Jacob just gave him a teasing smirk and took a few steps away from the lightning hero. If he kept a minimum distance, the man wouldn't be able to attack him in close combat.

Jacob watched the girl with awe as she approached him. She had not activated her powers yet. What the hell is she doing?! The villain thought, taking a few steps back. "Are you making fun of me?!" He growled at the girl, his suave behavior suddenly disappearing. His hand suddenly pointed at her, when she took another step he shot a ball of energy at her. "Don't make me kill-" He was cut off again, but this time it was a hand around his throat. His eyes shifted to look at X-Ray who know had his entire throat in one hand. A bolt of electricity traveled down his arm and into the villain. Jacob let out a struggled sound of pain. Dropping the bag on money, he clasped both hands around the other man's hand to try and pry it off his throat. A cold look crossed Nathan's eyes and he sent another chain of lightning down his arm. "Agh!" Jacob choked out. Small surges of electricity went up and down his body and he was panting rather loudly. "You okay, Red Flare?" The hero asked his partner. While he covered his emotions well, he didn't like the fact that she used herself as a distraction. He dropped the villain, knowing it was probably best if he didn't murder the villain.

Jacob wriggled on the ground a bit. Shit. How was I done in by that? I need to get out of here.He began trying to crawl away, his body slowly recovering from being slightly electrocuted. If he could put even just a bit of distance between them, then he should be able to escape.

Jacob gave her a look that was akin to a trapped wild animal. His eyes suddenly narrowed. "Tch, the hell?! You heroes are all just the same." He growled and suddenly narrowed his eyes at the girl. Most of his energy had been sapped by the electricity, but that wouldn't stop him from at least trying one more attack to escape. He lifted his arm to point at the girl, his hand glowing a dangerous orange energy. He wasn't actually going to shoot her with it, but it would serve as a distraction if he hit the building behind her. However before he could even shoot a beam, two hands quickly grasped both hands and he was pinned to the ground. A bit dazed, he looked up at his arms to find hands roughly binding his wrists to the ground. Huh? He looked down and found himself face to face with X-Ray. His entire body had been flipped onto his back, his hands were pinned above his head, and his legs spread which put X-Ray right on top of him. It took Jacob a few seconds to leave his stupor and he suddenly flushed a bright red color. "G-Get off me!" He stuttered and began to squirm. Nathan stared down at the villain with a curious stare, he had never seen the villain so flustered.

(#AnimeCliches)

Jacob opened his mouth to say something, but quickly shut it. Deciding he was better off just glaring and grinding his teeth. He knew he would eventually get caught, he was honestly surprised for how long this game of cat and mouse went on. Although, he would prefer if the game had been just a bit longer.

Nathan turned to look at Hannah, allowing one hand to grab the handcuffs and the other to keep the villain pinned. He then proceeded to bind the other male's wrists with the metal device. He studied the other male with steady eyes, he had never seen the villain look so glum or embarrassed. He was usually so confident and cocky. "I'm curious about something, villain." Nathan muttered, usually he was the quiet one between Hannah and him. Jacob stared up at him, arching an eyebrow at the superhero. His voice had been a lot deeper than Jacob had expected. "Why would you run away when other heroes tried to apprehend you, but fight us?" He had noticed whenever another superhero would enter a scenario with the villain that Jack would quickly escape. Meanwhile, whenever Nathan or Hannah would show up he would fight. Does he think we're weak? That wouldn't make much sense... While Hannah and Nathan weren't the strongest heroes, they certainly ranked higher than others.

Jacob suddenly seemed to freeze and his body stiffened. "I-I don't know what you mean." He stuttered, turning his gaze to look at anything other than the two heroes.

Nathan receded from pinning the villain to the ground and helped steady the dark-haired boy onto his feet. The villain stumbled around slightly, obviously still shook from Nathan's attacks. The hero helped him further by steadying him against his body. Hannah had gone to the other side of Jacob and was attempting to help Nathan out. The hero had great admiration for the other girl. She was always so helpful and kind, she definitely helped balance out his coldness.

At feeling both of them at such close contact, Jacob's ear grew a bright pink. The villain had remained silent much to Nathan's annoyance. "If you tell us, maybe we'll help you get a lighter punishment. Seeing as how you've never really physically harmed anyone." The hero offered, taking a few steps towards the exit of the building. "You two probably wouldn't believe me if I told you." Jacob muttered.

Jacob muttered something under his breath, but it was ineligible to either hero. As they made their way down, they had encountered a few police officers who looked more than anxious taking in Jacob. Surprisingly, Hannah waved at them as if to say that the heroes would handle it. Which probably wasn't far from the truth. They walked a few more yards to escape any onlookers and both heroes stopped in a secluded area. Nathan shifted the villain towards Hannah, giving her a better view of Jacob's face. He also placed himself directly behind Jacob, for both making sure he wouldn't escape or fall over.

"Let's here it, the only audience you have is us now." Those words seemed to shake Jacob, staring at the young woman in shock. Here? Right now? His thoughts seemed to run at a million miles per hour. What do you have to lose? Just my dignity and respect. "... like..." He muttered under his breath and shifted his eyes to avoid making eye contact. Other than the one word, Nathan couldn't even understand what he had said. He looked up at Hannah to see if she heard him any better.

Jacob felt his face heat up, this was turning out to be more embarrassing than he thought. His back was starting to feel warm from the close contact from X-Ray. How could this be any more embarrassing? He asked himself. Apparently, something beyond Jacob liked laughing at Jacob's expense. Red Flare was slowly closing the distance between them. His eyes widened further, his cheeks and ears were growing redder, and he let out a silent groan. Too close! "I-I like you both! A lot!" Shit! His eyes fell to his feet. Several emotions seemed to swarm his mind: fear, anxiety, embarrassment, and a bit of shame.

Nathan wasn't sure how he should take the villain's confession. At first he thought it might've been a joke or a way to escape the two heroes. However, he could feel the embarrassment and shame radiating from the villain. For better or worse, he was telling the truth. The hero shifted his eyes look at his partner, wondering what she thought of the villain's sudden confession. She was probably better at dealing with these sort of things.
