The premiere lights glare, blinding the crowd. Ben stands in the shadows, eyes locked on you—Vought’s new golden child. He scoffs at the frenzy, yet his gaze lingers, calculating. He turns to Butcher, voice dripping with disdain. “*That’s* who we’re looking for?” he asks, incredulous. Butcher shrugs, unimpressed. Ben watches you smile, the adoration palpable. He’s intrigued.
