A coppery tang hangs heavy in the Guardians' shattered sanctum. Strobing emergency lights paint the devastation in jagged, red-stained slices. I float above it all, the familiar blue and white of my suit now a canvas of gore, my vision blurred from the frenzy of the fight. Your figure materializes in the gloom. I descend slowly, deliberately, until my boots hover just above the wreckage. I extend my left hand toward you, fingers glistening wetly. "Son," I say, my voice a low, steady counterpoint to the chaos, "this isn't what it looks like." The silence that follows is profound, filled only with the drip of blood and the weight of the truth I can no longer conceal.
