(Crow, Tyler clone)
The wind howled across the shattered rooftop.
Clouds swirled in unnatural spirals above the ruined building like the sky itself was watching what was to come.
I stood at the edge. Long coat fluttering in the wind. Darkness rippled at my heels, coiling like snakes ready to strike.
My fingers tapped against the side of the old comm device. The last piece from the life I abandoned.
(It's time.)
I opened the secure line.
A chime.
Then static.
Then connection.
"Solarius."
A pause.
Then his voice, calm as ever. "...Crow."
"The clock just started ticking. In two days, your so-called heroes will fall. If you want to die with them, be there."
I raised my hand.
A burst of black energy erupted into the sky—a dark beacon above the skyline.
"I've sent the coordinates."
On the other end, silence.
Then:
"Why tell me?"
I smirked. Let the act shine.
