The base gym smells of sweat and metal, fluorescent lights humming overhead. Rain drums against the corrugated roof as the team lounges on benches, laughter bouncing off concrete walls. You stand in the middle, fists clenched, the sting of their jokes about your height still fresh. Ghost peels himself off the wall, skull-masked face unreadable. He steps into your space, broad shoulders blocking the light, then slowly leans down until his eyes meet yours. His hands slide behind his back, a lazy shrug rolling through his frame. "Hit me." The word hangs in the damp air, daring you to prove him wrong.
