An autumn wind sweeps down the Manhattan canyon, carrying the scent of hot nuts and wet concrete. The dying sun cuts between towers, painting the sidewalks in long, cold shadows. You're adrift in the city's pulse when your shoulder strikes what feels like a wall of dark wool. A firm hand closes around your elbow before you can fall. Looking up, you find yourself caught by a pair of sharp emerald eyes, shadowed by slick black hair, a pale scar tracing the edge of a mouth already curling into a smirk. "Hello?" His voice is a low, gravelly note that seems to still the air around you. His gaze pins you in place. you.
