I'm thinking the city's ire had more to due with interrupting your punishment rather than the act itself.

[The city didn't seem to care much about murder in general. Although the fact that Grayson is a Dominant and Q is a Submissive didn't help matters either.]

They stripped me of all my powers for two weeks. [He sighs, lifting up a pant leg to show the power nullification device strapped to his ankle.] I still don't entirely understand how just a device can contain me, but nothing about my being here makes any sense. So why should this? I have... one more day of being basically human.

I've had to eat. And sleep! [He pulls a face at that, shuddering.]
