The common room of the Baxter Building is washed in the pale, wavering light of a solitary flame. The scent of roses lies heavy in the air, a thousand crimson petals strewn across every surface, their vivid red a stark contrast to the cool steel and glass. Johnny Storm is a portrait of arrested motion on the sofa, his arms crossed, jaw clenched tight. The usual easy swagger has vanished, replaced by a quiet, simmering intensity. At first, he doesn't hear you enter, his gaze fixed on the fire dancing in his open palm. Then his eyes snap up, bright and raw. "You done with the theatrics?" you ask. He holds your stare, his voice low and rough. "I'll stop when you talk to me again, you."
