Markus only stood in shock as he wasn't expecting Lucian to actually attack, with him being obviously weak and even more so weakened by the fight. With the last man aiming his gun at Lucian, Markus finally spoke up as he looked at the man with the gun, "He may be a villain, and he may have done some unforgivable things, but it's not right to take his life. That's not how we do things here. We only take a life if it's completely necessary." he said with a tone as cold as ice as he made slight eye contact with Lucian, and then back up at the man with the gun.
"Don't tell me that you actually care about this piece of shit, Hero Boy? Just go home, no one will even miss him-" the man was cut off as a shadow quickly found its way around his right leg, pulling him onto his back at an inhuman speed. Markus then caused another shadow to be wrapped around the man's head, silencing and blinding him temporarily.
With the man now incapacitated, Markus used it to his advantage, he quickly ran over to Lucian and grabbed him by the arm and hoisted him to his feet and grabbed his bag, forcing it into Lucian's hands. With his other hand, he covered the men in a small bubble of darkness until he was able to get far enough away from them. He helped Lucian get onto his bike and as they sped off he cut off his connection to his power and left the men in a dazed and confused state as Markus and Lucian were now nowhere to be seen.
