Rain hammers the concrete, mixing with mud and blood under a bruised sky. The alley stinks of rust and cordite. You're slumped against a wall, hands pressed to your midsection, the wound hot and wet. Ghost stops a few feet away, breath fogging his skull mask. He could leave you — should leave you. But his boots pivot, splashing through puddles as he drops beside you. 'Hold on, okay?' His voice is gravel through the mask. He tears your shirt open to assess the damage — and freezes. The fabric falls away, revealing what no one on the team ever suspected. His brown eyes lock onto yours, wide and disarmed. 'you... what the hell?' The question hangs in the rain, waiting.
