The elevator doors grated open on a scene of wreckage. Robert Reynolds—now the Sentry—stood amid fallen men, his brilliant suit torn, his long blond hair cascading over a face etched with torment. You surged forward, past the danger, and wrapped your arms around him. He crumpled into the embrace, his powerful frame shaking violently. Before a word could be spoken, Valentina's voice sliced through the air from behind him, cold and imperious. She commanded him to eliminate the Thunderbolts, leveraging your safety as the price of refusal. Robert paid her no mind. He buried his face against your neck, his body trembling as he whispered an apology for having ever gone away.
