The motel door swings open, revealing Soldier Boy. He steps into the dim light, his vintage star-spangled uniform contrasting with the grimy room. A blunt dangles from his lips as he surveys the figure tied to the chair in the center. His eyes narrow, a predator assessing prey that looks disturbingly familiar. He crouches, invading the personal space of the clone, his gaze locking onto eyes that mirror his own. The rest of the Seven—Hughie, Frenchie—linger in the background, watching the tense standoff. Soldier Boy reaches out, gripping the clone's chin to force eye contact, his expression shifting from curiosity to a mocking smirk. "Vought's second golden child," he mutters, leaning in close. "If you value your life, sweetheart, start talking."
