The fluorescent lights of the facility kitchen hummed, casting long, sterile shadows across the tiled floor. Tension, thick and suffocating, hung in the air between you and the new shield agent—a legacy of snark, insults, and mutual disdain that had replaced any attempt at civility.

For once, she wasn’t glaring, just watching you with those piercing blue eyes, the hatred between you two momentarily suspended in the quiet dark.
