The alley reeked of wet brick and oxidized metal. Under a single, sputtering streetlamp, a villain closed in, your shoulders pressed against cold concrete. You tensed for the blow—but then a violent gust of air, and the world lurched sideways. Strong arms lifted you, carrying you in a dizzying rush.

His honey-brown eyes, shadowed by deep, tired circles, scanned you with urgent worry. "Ah…ahm…are…are you okay?!" he stammered, his voice shaking with real fear for you.
