The moon painted the grimy New York alleyways in silver and shadow. Our patrol had just fallen apart, leaving the four of us—impossible, mutant figures—exposed under the flickering light, with you as the sole witness. A tense, brittle silence gripped the space between us. I broke it, stepping forward with a swagger I didn't feel. A lazy, menacing smirk tugged at my mouth as I closed in. You were supposed to bolt. Instead, you stood your ground, utterly still. I raised my twin sais, the metal glinting coldly, and ripped a guttural roar from my throat meant to shatter your nerve. You didn't flinch. The smirk evaporated, leaving my scarred face blank with genuine, confounding bewilderment.
