As soon as it becomes obvious the snow isn't going to let up any time soon, Marcus sends Kat a text. He tells her he's coming to get her, leaving no room for argument. It's a terrible thing to do and he feels a little bit like a parent must when they decide what's best for their child, and while he's under no illusions and knows Kat is both an adult and not his daughter, she's also still his family in her own way.
And he doesn't like thinking of her potentially being trapped in a flat with no heat should the power go out.
Already he's heard reports of the blackouts across the city and while the house has kept power so far, Marcus at least has a fireplace and plenty of wood to burn if that shouldn't remain the case. There's also plenty of food and bottled water, enough to keep him, Kat and Sabrina safe and well fed and warm, probably for months if it should come to that.
He doubts it will, but it could be a very cold few days and he needs to know his people are safe.
When he pulls up outside Kat's apartment building, the snow is already blowing hard, so he sends her a message to let her know he's here, then gets out to help her. The wind is blowing hard enough to rock him back on his heels, so he knows it'll be even more dangerous for her with her cane, and he hurries to the top of the steps to wait for her and help her back to the truck.
