@WlNGEDSTARLET He pushed off the wall, stepping out into the dim streetlight.
"I'm not leaving a half blind bird to get picked off in an alley. Where's your safehouse?"
@WlNGEDSTARLET against the rusted doorframe, crossing his arms over his leather jacket.
"You've got a concussion, terrible balance, and a mob on your tail," he said, his deep voice carrying a flat, unyielding edge. "You won't make it three blocks."
@WlNGEDSTARLET he kicked open the rusted metal stairwell door.
"Stairs. Leads to the alley behind the bakery," he muttered, stepping aside. He glanced at her trembling legs, then down the dark stairwell.

@lunapherneliax He didnโt break eye contact,his gaze unblinking behind the mask. "Fear isn't a flaw." he growled low. "It keeps you sharp. Arrogance gets you brought home in a box."
