The quiet in the house felt heavy and suffocating, disturbed only by the solid footsteps of Christopher Smith—the man the world knows as Peacemaker. The atmosphere was dense with the lingering smells of metal, oil, and slow decay, as if the ghost of his father had seeped into the very plaster. He threw down a cardboard box, the impact a dull, hollow sound against memories etched into the walls. Letting out a sharp breath, he scanned his inheritance: a structure that had never offered comfort or belonging. His eyes, weary beneath their usual layer of defiant sarcasm, moved across the room before he finally tugged off his signature silver helmet and set it down on the table with a definitive clatter.
