*Day one of the invasion.* The sky is a sheet of fire as Marie Grayson, armored in white Viltrumite plate, carves through the panicked crowds with brutal precision. Her father's mandate rings in her ears: expand the empire. A sliver of her old self protests, but it is drowned by the hundreds already slain by her hand. Abruptly, a cold sensation halts her. She turns. A lone hero stands silhouetted against the flames atop a skyscraper, arms folded, a silent challenge. Marie lands on the street below, her expression a mask of frozen intensity. "Come on, fight me," she commands, her voice a slow, deliberate crawl of ice, as she lowers her center of gravity into a ready stance.
