A few hours later, I look out into the gym to see the door closing. I smile and go through the window I normally went through. I take my mask off my belt and attach it to my face and pulling the hood over my head. I had stocked up on health and mana potions for the night. I was so busy getting ready for the night that I didn't notice the gym door opening. Twilight came inside of the gym, possible to investigate it. She was following her necklace which led her to the window, she looked up and saw me. She gasped quietly and I quickly blinked onto the roof, never knowing she was there. I blink across a multitude of buildings. 
This was usually a quiet sort of place around the school. Possibly the former students still had respect for it. and with my cracking down on the crime here, it's been going down to the point that only 1 crime happened a night, where usually there was at least 3 or 4 when I first started. It's possible that lightningman, my brother took care of all the usual crimes during the day, so now the criminals were scared to do it then. But now since I was doing it during the night, they were scared to do it at all. I smile. I decide to go check on the Red Scorpions. After about 10 minutes of disappearing and reappearing, I'm there. I could see all of the gang members were hauling stuff out. I appear next to The Boss.
"How's it going?" I ask
"GAH!" He jumps. "Oh, It's just you. It's going pretty good. The cops were actually pretty good to us. for the serious things like murder and stuff like that, those guys got jail time, but not the death sentence. For small things like some petty theft. Those guys got strict parole. And it's all thanks to you." He pats me on the back. "I mean it. From the bottom of my heart, thank you. If it wasn't for you, we would still be in a bad position. Even before you started cracking down on us, we were having a bit of trouble."
"Really?" I ask in surprise. "It seemed like you guys were doing some pretty steady crime."
"Yes, But we were having trouble spreading it out among our members. It led to quite a few people leaving before you gave us our deal. I'm pretty sure their still doing crimes."
"Do you have a list of their names and faces?"
"Names? Yes, Faces? No, unfortunately. I've been trying to get back in contact with them, I even did manage to contact them and told them what you did for us. But they refused to contact you and join the deal. I didn't tell them what you would do to them though."
"Alright. I'll go and find them." I then get an idea. "Hey, How would you like to work with me?"
"What?" He asks in shock.
"Yeah, with your former criminal background, you know all of the criminals right?"
"Well, Yes. But I don't see how that has anything to do with..."
"You can tell me who they all are, and I can bring them to justice. Does that sound good?"
"Hmm... since I am going on the straight and narrow, I would like to live in a relatively crime-free town." He thought for a few seconds. "Alright. You got a deal." He extends his hand for me to shake. I accept his hand and shake it.
"Alright. Who's the first person I should take care of?" I ask
"They call themselves The Three S's. I don't know who exactly they are. But I got a hunch."
"Who is it?"
"You've dealt with them before. Scars, Stitches and Bruises. I think Bruises might have changed his name to Snaps to fit with the name."
"Those guys? Isn't there anybody more dangerous?"
"Not really. Our organization was the most dangerous. Canterlot isn't that well known for its crime." The boss shrugs.
"...That's true." I shrug. "Do you know where they are located?"
"They aren't exactly quiet. And my gang used to keep tabs on every criminal in the city to see if they were planning anything big. From the last report, they gave me. I believe that they were in some abandoned house about 3 blocks to the north of here and two doors to the right."
"That's oddly specific."
"I like to keep a steady eye on all of them. it'll work in our favour won't it?"
"True." I shrug. I then blink away and start to look for them. Once I got to the abandoned building, I activated Dark Vision. I couldn't see them that well, And I couldn't see their fields of vision, But I knew someone was there. I looked around and saw a small mouse looking around for some scraps of food. I activated possession and began to go up the building stairs and through the door cracks. The mouse was extremely slow, but it was useful enough to get to tight places easily. Once in their room, I end possession and I look around. I activate Dark Vision again and I realized that I had stopped possession right next to Scars. I slowly back up. It was then I realized how dirty this place was. There were beer bottles everywhere, the stench of smoke hanged thickly in the air and there was also empty pizza boxes and chip bags everywhere. I barely managed to stop myself from stepping on the mouse that I had possessed. But there was almost nowhere else to place my feet without making a sound. It didn't help that the floor was wooden and not carpet. I then start to think.
"Duh, it's wood and not carpet. It's an abandoned house, The last owners must have cleared everything out." I look around a little bit more. "Have these guys been living like this? Why? Don't they have any... family." I look at them and notice something that I didn't notice before. "They look closely alike. T...Their brothers." I swallow past the lump in my throat. "Something must have happened to their parents." I realize how close we were alike.
"Both of us have brothers. Both of us had something bad with our parents. They just didn't have anyone to depend on besides themselves. I only had myself to depend on since when I became homeless. Well, that wasn't true. I had lightningman and Pinkie Pie. But still. We just chose different paths. I close my eyes. I then open them and pull out my sword. I unfold it and begin to scrap a message on the wall.
"Scars, Stitches, Bruises.
I think you remember me. If you wondering why I'm writing to you instead of arresting you, I know where your coming from. I want to help you. Tomorrow morning. Go to Canterlot High School. Request for Xayvier.
- Voidic
After finishing the message, I looked at the sword in my hand, It had grown a little bit duller, but nothing a sandblast won't fix. I fold it back up and leave. I reappear next to the Boss who was sweating.
"I set up a meeting with them tomorrow morning." I say, There was a distinct unhappiness in my voice. 
"You set up a meeting with them? Why?"
"They should be allowed to go back to being good as well. And..." I was silent for a few seconds. "I can relate to them." With that, I leave for my hideout. I was entering my window as usual when I heard a voice behind me.
"Who are you?" My blood froze. I knew that voice. I turn and looked behind me to see Twilight.
"What are you doing awake?" I whisper urgently. Twilight recoiled at my voice.
"Um. Sometimes I can't sleep, and working on my projects helps me relax and fall asleep. And since none of my usual equipment, I decided to work out what those frequencies are exactly and why they're so powerful here. They aren't exactly alike to the ones I'm usually tracking. But they're alike to it. But the odd thing about is... You're the source of it." I widen my eyes in shock. She was talking about my Void magic. I then remember why it was so powerful here. It was because I used a time reversal power to fix a party.
"It's... a long story." I eventually say.
"I have time." Twilight sat down.
"Are you familiar with the Dishonored video game?"
"I can't say I am." She shakes her head.
"Well, There's a person in it named the Outsider. He used to be a normal person before he was sacrificed 4000 years before the events of Dishonored." Twilight lurches at this information. But I continue. "He has shown all the signs of becoming one with the Void. His physical body was kept trapped in stone and unable to move or speak, but a spiritual manifestation of him was made Into the Outsider. He shows up to people of interest in the Dishonored Universe. But... Apparently, he felt himself to limited." I look straight into Twilight's eyes. "And appeared to me."
"What? But... That doesn't seem possible."
"There are things that aren't able to be explained by normal science and logic. These things seem to surround me and my brother most of the time." I shrug and sigh. "Anyway, as I was saying. He decided to give me powers." I extend my fist and showed the mark on my fist.

"It hurt like hell when I got it, But when I did it, I got access to abilities that normal people will never be able to get," I smirk a bit under my mask. "I'm kinda proud of being able to upgrade my abilities." I stop before I give too much away. "Anyway. Since I believe I'm the only person within a 5 city radius that has these powers, I have full access to the Void here." 
"Alright. But... Who are you?" I hesitate. But I knew she would be coming to this school eventually.
"You swear that you'll keep this a secret?" When she nods, I slowly lower my hood and unlatch my mask. I lower it. When Twilight looks at me oddly. I remember that she's never seen my real face. "I'm Xayvier." Twilight recognizes the voice and gasps a little.
"Y-You're Xayvier?"
"Yeah. I'd figure that I'm Voidic sooner actually considering I've shown powers when I'm a normal civilian."
"Voidic?" Twilight asked in confusion.
"You haven't heard of me?" I raise an eyebrow.
"No." She shakes her head. "And why are you here tonight anyway? Are you expecting trouble?"
"The opposite actually. I'm here because I'm not expecting trouble. I gesture to the storage room. "I live here."
"WH...." I cut her off by blinking and covering her mouth with my hand.
"Shh... Do you want to give us away?"
"No sorry. But you live here? What about your family? You said that you have a brother."
"My parents forced me out of the house, and my brother is in a different dimension entirely." I then look at her. "You'll find out what dimension that is tomorrow." I then sigh. "Anyway. I'm tired. I have an idea I need to bring to Principal Celestia before the Friendship Games tomorrow. So you better go back to your bed. I'll see you in the morning alright?" Twilight looked like she was about to argue but reluctantly left. I sigh and enter the storage room and fall asleep.
