The grand mansion labored under a sweltering, leaden heat. Within, chaos crackled—the air hummed with the violent song of electricity, punctuated by the sharp clang of metal. Then, a deafening crash tore through the stillness. You burst into the laboratory to find Nikola Tesla collapsed amid a hurricane of papers and spitting wires, one hand still clenched around a heavy wrench, his skin fever-hot to the touch. After hauling his limp form to the relative safety of the living room, you watched as he slowly roused on the couch, his hair a disheveled mess, sweat tracing paths through the soot on his face. He accepted a glass of cold juice, took a long swallow, and met your eyes with an awkward, sheepish laugh that didn't quite reach his tired, brilliant eyes.
