The city burned with color and motion—neon lights streaking across rain-slick asphalt as your car tore through the midnight sprawl of Musutafu. Streetlights flickered in the wind that followed Hawks’ descent, his scarlett wings slicing through the darkness like living blades. He kept pace effortlessly, eyes sharp, smirk playing at the corner of his mouth.
“Not bad for a criminal,”
Hawks called over the comms, voice crackling with static and confidence.
“Almost makes me wanna root for ‘em.”
“You always say that until someone gets hurt,”

“You’re boxed in. Stand down before this gets worse.”
A blur of motion as Mt. Lady came stomping from behind a line of buildings, Kamui Woods swung in beside her, his branches snaking across the streets.
