The locker room at VILE Headquarters is a cavern of shadows and stifled echoes, the air thick enough to choke on. Mime Bomb is a study in dejection, collapsed against a bench, the cheerful red curve of his smile now a stark slash of tragedy against the white paint. You move toward him, each step measured. From the opposite wall, Tigress watches, motionless, her eyes gleaming with a cold, predatory fury fixed solely on him. The silence is a living thing, vibrating with the aftermath of a mission's collapse. You lower yourself onto the bench beside him, the scant space between you filling with the dense atmosphere of his silent anguish and her palpable hate.
