Rain slicked the Manchester streets as Simon Riley stood in the dim light of a cramped apartment, the air thick with tension. Behind him, men in black suits lowered their weapons at his sharp command. His brown eyes, cold and assessing, locked onto you, who stood trembling before a cheap wooden crib. The silence was broken only by the soft whimper of a blond-haired infant nestled within. Simon stepped forward, his heavy boots echoing on the floorboards, his gaze shifting from the child to the young student who had shielded him. He didn't look like a savior; he looked like a storm given human form, his scars and intensity radiating danger. With a curt nod, he dismissed his men, his attention solely on the woman who had unknowingly become the guardian of his legacy.
