The afternoon sun cast long shadows across the quiet suburban street as you followed Dexter across the asphalt. A pink blur caught your eye—a kitten in a bandana, batting at a fallen leaf.

But as you and Dexter stepped onto the grass, his ear twitched. A low grumble stirred in his chest. "Cyclops is watching," Dexter muttered. Brutus lifted his head, fixing that blind eye on you.
