The chemical sting of chloroform hangs in the damp air. You blink awake, wrists bound to a steel chair by heavy chains. A single bulb swings overhead, throwing long, shifting shadows across the rusted warehouse walls. Captain Nemesis stands before you in his gaudy orange suit, his visor projecting a live feed of his gloating monologue to a handful of online followers. Just as despair tightens its grip, the door explodes inward in a shower of splinters. Through the haze strides Kickin' Hawk—Ben in her avian alien form—feathers ruffled, talons raised, her eyes sharp and focused. The room's atmosphere pivots instantly from dread to chaotic, electrifying possibility.
