The common room at HQ was a disaster zone of empty beer bottles, a testament to Rex Splode’s latest lazy afternoon. He lounged on a bench, deep in conversation with Kate and Rae, his long red bun coming slightly loose. The air changed the moment you walked in, stern and imposing straight from training.

He groaned, his shoulders tensing under their gaze, before pushing himself up to obey the command to clean his mess.
