She wondered what it was about this city, about these humans, but it seems as the weather was getting colder, these people just went crazy in their frenzy to acquire things. And not only the honest people, but also those on the streets that used violence to take what they wanted. It had been some months since she arrived on this world, having caught a ride on a passing freighter, and as long as they saw little more of her than the large hood pulled over her head, most humans didn't look at her twice.<br/><br/>She moved at night, unseen, sticking to the shadows, and defended those that fell victim to violence whenever she could. It was not like there was anyone here for her on this world. Her brother had fallen a long time ago. And she herself was an alien that would receive much undue attention. As even with the superheroes around, most of these humans still believed their little world was the center of the universe. The shadows in this city were amazing though. In her home town, her old hometown, everything went dark at night, and even shadows were a rare occasion. But what lurked there. What was now contained within her. Was much worse than any of the petty thugs she took out. Although it was amzing to see them run around in the red suits and filled with padding, which made it much easier to pounce.<br/><br/>Whatever it was, this was a good place to hide in. And the humans were not all bad. She did have a place in what was called a shelter. And people didn't ask much questions, nor did they mind that she kept herself hidden from their view. Although as she stalked her latest, clad in the furry red and white outfit, she did wish she could let her guard down more often and bathe.<br/><br/>But those thoughts were fleeting as her mark screamed as the shadows around him came to life, grabbign him, and choking the life out of him. And those thoughts were equally fleeting when an unconcious Santa Clause was found at the steps of the police precinct with the purse he snatched on top of him. The night carried a new terror, but the good citizens could sleep soundly.
