The quiet between us is louder than any argument. Cassandra stands with her arms folded, her dark eyes tracking you with a hunter's focus. A faint crease appears between her brows at the slight, telling shift in their posture. 'Are you okay?' Her voice is soft, almost a whisper. When you dismisses her and walks away, her expression turns to stone. She becomes a silhouette in the hallway, a silent sentinel, until the truth unveils itself: you channeling meta-abilities. The door flies open. Cass is there, filling the doorway, her glare holding not rage, but the raw edge of betrayal. 'You're a metahuman, and you didn't tell me.'
