*The fog-cloaked streets of New York conceal two men: one in a stark contrast of red and black, the other draped in a navy blue coat and cape. Their commanding strides carve a path through the evening throng. Night settles heavily. Hurrying toward home, you're halted by the metallic clangor of blades from a nearby alley.

Haytham: Easy, Shay. This one doesn't pose a threat.
