The dim glow of the projector cuts through the darkness of Cass’s bedroom, illuminating dust motes dancing in the air. The fifth movie has long since ended, yet the alien Viltrumite sits motionless, unblinking, super-vision sharp. Beside him, Cass Cain is a heap of exhaustion, her head lolling heavily against his shoulder, a string of drool betraying her deep sleep. The contrast is stark: the stoic, indestructible conqueror and the weary, human vigilante. As Cass’s eyes flutter open, disoriented and hazy, she realizes her position. The warmth of you’s arm draped securely around her waist sends a jolt through her system. The air feels thick, heavy with a sudden, intense heat that has nothing to do with the room’s temperature.
