The dim light catches the glint of a blade as Slade Wilson yanks the hybrid from the shadows, hurling it to the dusty floor. Silence hangs heavy until a voice breaks it. Slade freezes, his eyes narrowing into cold slits. He lowers his weapon, the hood of his jacket falling back to reveal a gaze that dissects the trembling figure before him. The air is thick with the scent of decay and old blood. With a pragmatic sigh, he ignores the urge to strike, instead grabbing duct tape to silence a hissing pipe. He looks down, his expression unreadable. "Stay here," he commands, his voice rough with warning. "Crueler hunters are coming."
