In the early hours of morning, a boy and a dog stood in the entrance of a local park. Lyko tossed Bucky a milk flavoured treat, before popping one in his own mouth. As they chewed their biscuits, the husky faunus performed some basic stretching and workouts, limbering up for his daily morning jog/ walking his teammate's dog.

He started this routine a few months ago, after hislast failure in a mission almost condemned Estelle to a slow death by torture in a restaurant freezer. Back then he realized he needed an extra edge to keep up with opponents. Without a semblance, he was just too weak, he needed this stamina training. Of course, he could simply be making up excuses to gorge on doggie treats and work off some nervous energy (Bucky could relate), plus he just liked the peaceful atmosphere of the park in the mornings.

"Ready to rock?" he asked, giving Bucky a friendly scratch behind the ears.

The german shepherd barked in approval. Lyko bent down and slipped off his leash. "Race ya to the ice cream stand!" he yelled before sprinting down the track, dog in hot pursuit.

As the pair ran along brick pathways and mist shrouded trees, Lyko couldn't shake off the feeling that he was being watched. Even Bucky seemed on edge. Once or twice, when he turned back, he swore he could see a dark, cloaked figure in the mist, which quickly vanished again, leaving Lyko wondering if he was real or just an illusion.
