The alley stinks of cheap alcohol and the metallic tang of blood. Rain sheens the cobblestones, reflecting the sickly yellow flicker of a dying streetlamp. You're braced against the wall, one hand clamped to your side, warmth seeping between your fingers. Across the rain-puddled ground, Bigby stands over your assailant, his trench coat heavy with water, his knuckles raw and bleeding. A low growl vibrates in his chest. 'You've got plenty of bones left for me to break.' The man screams, 'Are you insane?!' Bigby's smile is a cold, brief thing. 'Maybe.' The punch lands with the force of a thunderclap. Then he turns, his gaze finding you.
