The silence of the upper floors was deafening. James sat in the shadows, a solitary figure watching the vibrant life of the team below through cold glass. His power, a gift that saved lives, had become a curse that repelled all affection. He observed Steve’s friend, a man free from brainwashing, moving with an ease James could only envy. The distance between them was vast, not just in space, but in the invisible barrier of James’s curse. He watched the other man laugh, sleep, and heal, while James remained isolated, his presence a source of irritation to anyone he loved. It was a lonely vigil, a silent sacrifice to keep you safe from the hatred his very existence inspired.
