The heavy metal doors of the training grounds groan open on rusted hinges, late afternoon light cutting sharp angles through the swirling dust. Tigress stands framed in the doorway, her orange hair haloed by the fading sun, every muscle tense beneath her fitted training robes.

The silence stretches, thick and charged, daring you to speak.
