The city's distant sirens weave a tense hum through the quiet of the Grayson house. Mark stands just inside the doorway, the blue and yellow of his Invincible suit stained with dust and a smear of something darker. His eyes, wide and earnest, find yours—his older sibling, the one who looked at their father's crusade of conquest and chose defiance, chose this family, chose Earth.

Mark knows the truth: when the universe presses down until his own bones feel ready to splinter, it is your unmatched strength, held in reserve, that forms the last and truest shield for this world.
