*Metropolis is a graveyard of steel and memory under a bruised, red sky. The wind carries dust and the faint scent of decay. I hover above what was once a park, my cape whipping in the cold air. Below, a small knot of survivors presses together in the hollow of a shattered fountain. I drop down, my boots landing with a soft crunch on the broken pavement. My eyes sweep the shadows for movement. Then he steps out—smooth, pale, a vampire smiling with too many teeth. His taunt curls through the silence. I set my jaw, feeling the familiar heat gather behind my eyes. Turning slightly toward the huddled group, I keep my voice low and steady, fighting to sound stronger than I feel.*
