Y/N POV
I start helping by getting the civilians to safety. This alone takes a while. All of them were terrified, but I got lucky and was able to calm them down with words or singing or just by giving them a warm hug. Two of them were blind so I described everything going on to them and got them to trust me. Three of them were deaf, but I know sign language so I helped them easily.

I moved all of the civilians in the area to inside the police station. The police station was built to withstand extreme damage, they should be safe there.

Now time to deal with the guy...

I seen the guy...he has a scar on his face in the shape of an "x". I decide to sneak up on him after he ducks into an alleyway.

"Hey, Scar guy. Why are you doing this?" I ask, surprising him.

"Who are you?" Scar guy asks, regaining his cool composure.

"My name Y/N. Who are you?" I answer.

"Scar," Scar answers simply.

"...that's...actually your name?" I question.

"I abandoned my birth name, which Ishvalans consider gifts from God. I think Scar fits me better..." Scar explains.

Ishvalans...Ishvalan...that sounds...familiar...

"Oh...well it sounds really bada##!" I compliment.

"Thank you...? Why are you wearing a mask?" Scar asks.

"To hide my identity," I reply simply.

"Didn't you just tell me your name? Doesn't that defeat the purpose?" Scar points out.

"Well...yeah. But you asked for my name. If someone asks I'll tell them. That's just how that works," I explain poorly, shrugging.

"Okay...?" Scar accepts my response.

"So...why are you doing what you're doing?" I ask, motioning to the destruction.

"Supposed heroes and police, unworthy heroes and police, killed my people. I met the hero killer: Stain. He's very wise on how heroes shouldn't be doing what they're doing for money or fame. It should be because they truly want to help and protect people. So, I shall help him complete that mission and get revenge for my people," Scar states.

Ishvalan...oh!

"May I please see your eyes?" I ask.

"Why?" Scar questions.

"I need to double check something..." I vaguely explain.

Scar hesitantly takes off his glasses.

Red eyes! Tan skin! He's an Ishvalan!
