Markus walked though New York looking around at glorious city he'd grown up in. Sadly he wouldn't care if it all burned tomorrow. He had nothing keeping him here, everything he'd ever cared about had burned to the ground around him. Now he wandered though life like a ghost, not interacting with anyone and barely keeping himself alive. Markus thought that maybe part of him did just want to give it up, but the rest of him was to much of a coward to go though with it. It was simply to hard to start forging new relationships, and he didn't want to. After being burned so many times he had learned just to stay away from anyone that could hurt him...or that he could hurt. If he didn't the worst could and would happen, that was a time proven fact.<br/><br/>That's why he had volunteered for the mission. It had a certain amount of danger that might get him blood going again. The Gods knew he needed to feel alive again. The general had been giving a briefing and asking for a volunteer he was one of five who had been asked, and he volunteered without hesitation. Needless to say no one had expected him to. But he had wanted to, and the rest of those guys... they had families, lives that they hadn't given up on. Perhaps that was his purpose, to take the dirty work so that those who hadn't given up could live. There was, however, one thing he loved.<br/><br/>Markus pulled a small circle out of his pocket and pushed a small button on the bottom, rapidly the circle expanded to a skateboard size and hovered in midair for a moment before Markus jumped on. Markus smiled as he rose above the city and took off, flying and spinning. Gods he loved his hover board, there was nothing like the feeling of flying above it all and he couldn't help but laugh as he soared, spreading his arms wide as he flew. He didn't know how long he was up there staring down at his beautiful city, New York had been though a lot, but the statue of liberty still stood proud and tall.<br/><br/>All to soon the watch on his wrist blared a 10 minute warning at him and slowly headed back to the earth towards the building he had been instructed to enter. As he banked before it he stared up at the ugly gray building the military was using and sighed. He hadn't been given details of the mission but he had a theory he wouldn't be back to the city for some time. He took one last look around and then walked into the building.
