Summary: He scares her to death.

Alien

If she hadn’t believed it before she does now. He’s definitely an alien, this strange man standing above her. Not a Martian, no, but he may as well be.
There’s a shadow etched across his face. Loss and pain and grief. Anger and fury and something else. Something undefinable.
His eyes darken, harden and set.
There’ll be no mercy, he won’t know when to stop.
It’s not just an act of self-defence, it’s not just about protecting her, protecting the people walking around, miles above. It’s revenge. It’s punishment. It’s murder.
Oh, he’s alien.
And he scares her to death.
