Hero and villains powers work only when they are around each other. Their powers are basically interlinked.
The more intense the attacks get, the more powerful each side gets. If one tones it down, the other has no choice but to.
Basically, it's a grey area where nobody can win. There is no winning at all with hero and villain.
They don't realise each other's powers work that way, and their fights are very long.
One day, hero and villain are fighting and finally realise this.
A healthy dose of angst it is. >:))))

Together Forever
“How is it that neither of us ever win!” Villain shouted, smashing their weapon to the ground out of anger.
The words—although mulled over many times by both parties—had never been spoken out loud. And the fight had stopped completely.
Hero sighed, wrapping their arms subconsciously around their chest. “Maybe we just weren’t meant for this game.”
Maybe we should quit. Was left unspoken.
Villain knew, Hero knew. They had been at this game for years and every day they’d return to their homes and wonder what they could’ve done better. But now, here they both stood under the full moon, wondering if it truly was their faults after all.
“It’s us, it has to be us.” Villain gritted out, curling their hands into fists. This game was getting ridiculous and they were both just so tired.
Hero shook their head, sighing in defeat. And when no words could escape their mouth Villain took up the speech again.
“Every other hero, every other villain. They fight and one of them wins. One of them always wins.” Villain laughed as tears streaked down their cheeks. “But not us. Not in this game that we play. Not in this stupid STUPID GAME!”
Villains voice raised by several notches and Hero could see their powers slowly become unstable and reactively course through their veins. However, not only could they see Villain lose control, but they could also feel it in themselves. Their powers were reacting back to Villains, pulsing under their skin, begging to be set free, to match Villains frequency. They were on the same frequency.
“Villain-“ But the other was far off in their own world of depreciation, laughing as tears burst past their defences repeatedly. “Villain please- listen, stop it-“ Hero tried to call out to the villain, feeling their powers build up more and more and more and more-
“VILLAIN.” They stopped, glossy eyes pinned to Hero’s as they finally shut their mouth. Hero didn’t know what to say now, it was like all that energy, all that power had been drained from them once Villain was pulled from their spiral.
Only now as Villain shifted uncomfortably did Hero realize that they had stepped forward and grabbed Villain by the shoulders.
“Sorry…” Hero murmured as they pulled their arms back, silently missing the warmth from Villains skin. “I just… I think I know what’s wrong with us.”
Villain raised one brow, sniffling for a moment before wiping their nose with the back of their hand. “Oh yeah?” It was a biting tone that made Hero shiver, but they remained as composed as possible.
“I think… Now just hear me out… I think our powers are connected.” Hero concluded, eyes shutting as they prepared for Villain to lash out, but no surge of power came.
Instead, Villain looked at them wide-eyed as they finally were able to put together the pieces of the puzzle. As if the final key has been turned and the answer has been revealed.
Hero was right.
