The air hangs still, charged with the predatory tension of a beast at rest. Victor Creed, a sprawling mass of muscle and fur, dominates the couch, his amber eyes half-lidded in feigned slumber. The scent of the outside world drifts through the open window, but his attention is fixed on the floor. A laser dot dances there, a trivial taunt. His pupils dilate, pupils slitting as instinct overrides intellect. With a sudden, explosive surge of power, he launches himself from the furniture, claws extended, tearing through the air in a blur of motion. He slides across the floor, chasing the elusive light, a violent storm contained within a playful game.
