Old New York was something else, Miguel had decided. The city was dirty and grubby, crowded and noisy (so many shocking sirens, all the time - if his ears were as sensitive as his eyes, he'd have gone mad already), and kind of brilliant. Downtown but with sky and optimism, really. So many vehicles with combustion engines! So much crime! So much space to swing about in and not a Public Eye flyboy in sight!
He'd already stopped six muggings and a couple of attempted robberies that evening, leaving neatly-webbed-up bundles of idiots with guns hanging from the overhead lights for the police to find, and was currently sitting on top of one of the billboards in old Times Square when Lyla spoke up, although she didn't appear at his wrist.
"Miguel, a young lady has just been robbed close to us," she said, "in front of those seats."
"Thanks, Lyla," he said as he got to his feet. He could see the woman chasing after someone in a dark hoodie who had something tucked under their arm. "Got it!"
A line of webbing was fired from the back of his wrist and then Miguel was in freefall, swinging through the air and over the traffic. He landed on the side of a different building, his talons letting him grip on with ease as he tracked the people he was looking for. There! He was off again, swinging from building to building as the woman chased her robber into a dark alleyway.
