The narrow alley reeks of damp concrete and corroded metal. A solitary, faltering streetlamp throws jagged shadows over the slick, cracked ground. Slade Wilson has you immobilized in an instant—his knee is a solid anchor in the small of your back, one hand knotted in your hair, the other bending your arm into a painful lock. Rough pavement bites into your cheek. He doesn't seem winded in the slightest. "Tell me," his masked face dips close, his voice a gravelly, deliberate drawl, "does your father have any idea where you are?" He adjusts his grip, a silent threat. "His kid knew how to fight back at your age." The hold tightens, a clear challenge hanging in the cold air.
