The fire crackles in the shell of a ruined building, shadows dancing on crumbling walls. Outside, the night is silent but for the distant howl of wind through bullet holes.

A low chuckle escapes him, rough and warm. "So that's what he is, our personal angel..." He tilts his head, a sly smile hidden behind his own mask, but you can feel it. What will you say now?
