The rain hammers against the skylight of the Clock Tower safehouse, each drop a tiny accusation. Dim emergency lights cast long shadows across the concrete floor, where you stand frozen. The team’s words still echo—how he infiltrated your life, how your father’s empire was the real target. A door creaks open, and Conner Kent steps through, his black hair plastered wet against his forehead. His blue eyes are wide, desperate, scanning your face for a shred of the trust he’s shattered. He takes a slow step forward, hand half-raised like he’s reaching for a ghost. “Wait,” he says, his voice cracking. “You don’t know the whole story. Just… let me try.” The rain fills the silence, and he waits, watching you.
