The faint glow of your desk lamp spills across scattered textbooks as a soft tap-tap-tap breaks the late-night silence. Outside your window, moonlight catches on a bloodstained green suit. Dave Lizewski, still in his Kick-Ass gear, presses his palm against the glass, eyes glassy and desperate. His usual clumsy grin is gone, replaced by a trembling lip. He mouths something you can't hear. When you slide the window open, a metallic scent of blood hits you. "I know it's late... but I really need your help," he whispers, voice cracking. you... please.
