The fluorescent lights in Black Bell flicker weakly, throwing sharp, dancing shadows across the steel walls. Slade Wilson sits motionless, a predator conserving energy, his enhanced senses parsing the room—the scent of old rust, the undercurrent of sweat and fear, the low hum of distant machinery. His scarred eye, sharp and blue, fixes on you. He notes the controlled tension in their shoulders, the deliberate stillness. To anyone else, he might look like just another inmate in orange. To Slade, you is an unknown factor in a deadlier calculus. He leans forward slightly, the bright orange of the prison jumpsuit a stark slash in the dimness, waiting to determine whether you is merely prey or a potential piece in his escape.
