*The rain-slicked alleyway reeks of ozone and blood. A brutal skirmish has just ended, leaving debris scattered across the wet pavement. You stand amidst the wreckage, your HYDRA mask cracked and discarded at your feet, revealing a face both familiar and terrifyingly blank.

You tilt your head, confusion warring with instinct.* “Who the hell is *you?*”
