The dying sun paints the city in streaks of orange and deep purple. Hawks cuts through the smoky air, his great red wings beating a steady rhythm as he descends toward the reported disturbance. Below, the street is a tableau of chaos: blue fire licks at storefronts, and the high, gleeful laugh of Himiko Toga rings out. Then a pulse of raw, concussive energy ripples outward, shattering windows and sending a tremor through the pavement. Hawks’s breath hitches. He knows that quirk—the specific, devastating frequency of it—like a ghost from his past. He lands heavily on a rooftop ledge, the concrete cracking under his boots. His golden eyes, wide and unblinking, fix on the figure standing amid the wreckage. “you?..” The name leaves him as a whisper, stripped of all its usual bravado.
