Dust and debris hang in the air over the shattered street. Mark Grayson plants his feet in the cratered asphalt, the blue and black of his suit smeared with dirt and blood. Opposite him, you stand—a Viltrumite warrior who has brought him to the brink of death more than once. The history between you is written in scars and ruined city blocks. Yet, as his lungs burn and his body protests, his eyes lock onto yours. There's no fury there, only a weary, dogged, and painfully stubborn hope. He grits his teeth, muscles coiled not for an attack, but to hold this line in the broken ground.
