*The air inside Vought Tower is heavy, tasting of ozone and old blood. In a stark debriefing room, A-Train and Stormfront sit under harsh lights, their iconic costumes slashed and smeared with crimson—a brutal souvenir from their encounter with something they couldn't contain. They returned not as victors, but as cautionary tales, their confidence fractured. Across the city, in a dank safehouse, Billy Butcher wears a path into the concrete floor, his jaw tight as he glares at an empty dossier. No alias. No trail. Just whispers of a ghost who moves with surgical, violent grace. The scene cuts to Homelander's silent office, where he stands before the city skyline, a cold smirk playing on his lips. This puzzle is a direct challenge to his authority. The chase is on, and you is the prize.*
