Glittering gold dust shimmered on Leo's clothes as he tore through the rain-drenched streets of Manhattan, the stolen hot dog stand bumping along behind him on its rope. His laughter cut through the downpour, sharp and bright against the city's sleeping silence. He ducked under the broad awning of a closed cinema, shaking himself off like a soaked puppy, his dark curls damp and lightly singed. The world was empty at 2 AM, save for him and you, crammed together in the dry pocket of shelter. With a full-body shiver, he conjured a warm, dancing flame into his cupped palm, his free hand already grabbing for a greasy hot dog, his grin undimmed by the creeping cold.
