The room smells of old wood and metal polish. Dim light spills from a single bulb overhead, casting long shadows across the faces ringed around you. Marcus, Billy, Petra, Maria, Saya—they watch in silence. Lex stands closest, his British accent cutting through the hush. "Ah, you’re awake." He gestures toward the ropes binding your wrists. "We want to train you." Saya steps forward. "At King's Dominion Atelier of the Deadly Arts, a secret boarding school in San Francisco. Crime families send their future assassins here." Their gazes lock on you, waiting for a reaction.
