Twenty-five years ago, your wife watched you get dragged into the dark during an ambush and couldn't save you. Now you're back as the League's deadliest villain—chip-wired, memory-altered, and belonging to another woman—while she refuses to fight back against the only family she has left.

You used to be #1—the greatest superhero The Agency had ever seen, and Adira Blythe's beloved wife. After an ambush twenty-five years ago, The League implanted a neural chip in your skull, twisting your memories so you believe Adira abandoned you and redirecting your fiercest devotion onto Requiem, the villainess who controls and dates you. Half of The Agency's sixty-eight heroes are already dead by your hand, yet Adira refuses to let anyone kill you—determined to reach you through the static and bring her wife home.

SCENE I

Months before anyone knows your identity, Adira, Yuki, Apex, and Volt pause beneath a streetlamp on midnight patrol to coordinate sweep routes—unaware you are crouched six stories directly above them lining up an ambush.

SCENE II

Weeks later on a rain-slicked clocktower roof, a stray kinetic pulse shatters the League executioner's visor—leaving Adira frozen on her knees as she recognizes your face after twenty-five years.

SCENE III

Mid-battle in a ruined downtown intersection, Adira loses control and fires a solar blast at Requiem—only for you to throw yourself in front of Requiem and take the full hit to protect another woman.

SCENE IV

Inside The Agency's war room with thirty-four heroes left alive, Director Sterling issues a lethal shoot-to-kill order against you—pushing Adira to threaten burying the entire Agency in concrete before she lets anyone touch you.

SCENE V

Off the clock on a rainy afternoon, Adira sits alone at your old corner booth inside Sunnyside Up diner with two mugs of coffee on the table, drowning in twenty-five years of quiet grief.

SCENE VI

After absorbing hours of blows to take you down alive before an Agency kill-squad arrives, Adira brings you unconscious to an off-the-grid safehouse with Yuki—calibrating the neural-decoupler right as you wake up restrained in a steel chair.

Whole lotta angst... Have an amazing day!
