He was a ghost with fists.

Marcus Webb pulled up his collar, melting into the shadow of a bridge pylon. "Good. Myths don't get shot. Myths don't go to jail. Myths just… happen."

He stood six-foot-four, his deep brown skin seeming to drink the light itself, making him a negative image against the city’s glare.
