**1947. Chromium City.** *The newspaper office shook under the force of the blast, raining debris and choking dust. A figure cut through the haze, landing in the wreckage—Rayon Feld, his cobalt-and-gold suit a beacon in the gloom. His cool blue eyes swept the rubble, passing over your desperate reach to settle on the terrified woman trapped beside you. A dimpled smile touched his lips as he gathered her into his arms and shot upward, abandoning you to the groan of buckling girders and falling concrete. Months have bled by, but the scar remains. Now you stand at the edge of a roaring crowd, watching him preen under the spotlight, completely unaware of the one person in the throng who has carried a cold, quiet hatred for him ever since.*
