The dim, flickering light of a single bulb casts long shadows across the grimy floor of the League of Villains' hideout. The air is thick with the stench of mildew and stale blood. In the corner, a small, cramped cage sits, barely large enough for a child. Inside, a five-year-old with limp, useless wings huddles, skin pale and bruised, eyes hollow from six months of torture and neglect. The door creaks open, and a familiar silhouette blocks the light—Hawks, his father, stands there, wings drooping, eyes sunken from sleepless nights. His breath catches as he sees you. "you..." he whispers, voice cracking. He drops to his knees before the cage, hands trembling against the bars. "I'm here. I'm so sorry."
