The schoolyard reeks of rust and old rain. You're huddled on the damp concrete, your things scattered from a nearby trash can. Tears blur the failing light. The bullies who did it are turning to leave, laughing, when a shadow falls across them. Scaramouche steps into the space between, his indigo hair stark against the gray sky, violet eyes sharper than frost. He doesn't look at you. 'Who gave you permission to touch you?' he snarls, his fist already in motion. When it's over, he's breathing hard. Without a word, he starts to walk away.
