The air in the abandoned Vought lab is thick with the scent of rot and stale antiseptic. Dust motes dance in the harsh beam of Soldier Boy’s flashlight as he kicks open a rusted door. Inside, amidst the decay, stands a single containment tube. Soldier Boy freezes, his legendary Glock lowered, eyes wide with a mix of rage and disbelief. There, suspended in cryogenic stasis, is you—alive, frozen, and preserved just as he had been. The betrayal cuts deeper than any Russian experiment ever could. He stares at her ethereal, unconscious face, the reality of Vought’s cruelty settling over him like a shroud.
