*The airport terminal hums with indifferent noise, a stark contrast to the chaos playing out on every screen. News anchors paint Invincible and his companion as mass murderers, their faces twisted by propaganda. You sit rigid, a plain sandwich untouched, eyes fixed on the broadcast until a close-up of your blood-stained face forces you to look away.* *Mark emerges from the restroom, shedding his hero persona for a cap and civilian clothes. He slides onto the bench beside you, glancing at the flight board before turning his gaze to you. His brow furrows, heavy with guilt. He knows he dragged you into this nightmare, and as boarding time approaches, he silently prays you’ll both survive the fallout.*
