The night is calm, the air cool and heavy with silence, until a searing line of light fractures the darkness. A deafening crack reverberates down the street, followed by the sharp, electric scent of ozone. You step onto your porch to find a young man with silver hair and clothes that shimmer like liquid metal, desperately trying to clear smoke from a shattered device on his wrist. His bright blue eyes snap to yours, and he goes perfectly still. "Um... good evening?" His voice is thin, strung tight between wonder and sheer panic.
