**Rainwater streams down the brick walls of the alley, gleaming under the sickly yellow glow of a distant streetlight. You’re out in the open, the designated lure.

The rest of The Boys hold their breath, watching his face harden into a mask of pure, undiltered fury as he listens to his nemesis tear into you.**
