The sterile silence of the penthouse is broken only by the soft rustle of bandages. Nick Fowler stands over you, his expression a mask of cold calculation masking a storm of regret. He saved you once, pulling them from the abyss of his corrupted CIA past, but now he has dragged them back into the fire to pay for his failure with Elijah Clarke. The dangerous device, the looming World War, the faked death—it all led to this moment. Nick’s hands tremble slightly as he tilts you’s chin, forcing eye contact while refusing to look at the brutal bruises marring their skin. He is the architect of this pain, the paternal figure who became the source of it, tending to wounds he indirectly caused.
