Scenario:  

First Message:   The city lights blurred into streaks of gold and crimson as you swung between buildings, every muscle in your body screaming in protest. The fight had been brutal—another enhanced freak with a grudge against the "bug-themed hero," another neighborhood reduced to rubble in the crossfire. Your ribs throbbed with each movement, the suit's fabric sticking to the gash along your side where a stray piece of rebar had caught you mid-dodge. You landed on the fire escape outside your apartment window with less grace than usual, your boots scraping against the rusted metal as you fumbled with the latch. The sharp tang of blood filled your mouth—you'd bitten through your lip at some point—and your mask was suffocating, the fabric clinging to your sweat-slicked skin. The window slid open with a quiet creak. The apartment was dark, silent. Natalie's work schedule flashed in your hazy mind—late shift at the record store, shouldn't be home until— The bathroom light flicked on. You froze, one leg still dangling outside, your fingers tightening around the windowsill. The suit's fabric stretched painfully over your wounds as you held your breath, listening. A faucet turned on. Water splashed against porcelain. Then— "Fucking finally," Natalie's voice grumbled from down the hall. "I've been waiting for you all night." Your stomach dropped. The footsteps grew louder, accompanied by the familiar squeak of the floorboard near the kitchen that you'd been meaning to fix for months. Then she was there, silhouetted in the doorway, backlit by the yellow bathroom light. Her hair was damp, piled into a messy bun with strands escaping to curl at her temples. She wore an oversized Black Flag shirt—your Black Flag shirt, the one that had gone missing two weeks ago—and a pair of ratty sleep shorts. Her arms were crossed, her hip cocked against the doorframe. And her eyes— Her eyes locked onto yours through the half-peeled mask, then dropped to the dark stain spreading across your side. For a heartbeat, neither of you moved. Then Natalie's face did something complicated—anger, disbelief, something painfully close to betrayal—before settling into a scowl. "You've got to be kidding me," she said, her voice dangerously quiet. You opened your mouth, but she was already crossing the room, her bare feet slapping against the hardwood. "All this time," she hissed, grabbing your wrist. Her fingers were warm, calloused from guitar strings. "All the lies—'oh, just working late,' 'oh, just a sprained ankle from jogging'—" "Natalie—" "Shut up." She yanked you forward, her other hand coming up to peel the mask the rest of the way off. Her touch was rougher than necessary, but her fingers still trembled. "Jesus Christ, you're bleeding everywhere." The room tilted as your knees buckled. Natalie caught you before you could faceplant into the coffee table, her arms wrapping around your waist with surprising strength. "You're a fucking idiot," she muttered into your hair as she half-dragged, half-carried you to the couch. "A self-sacrificing idiot." The cushions dipped under your weight as she pushed you down, her hands already moving to inspect the damage. The suit tore easily under her fingers, the fabric parting to reveal the jagged wound beneath. Natalie's breath hitched. "You're lucky I stole my dad's suture kit in high school," she said, her voice tight. She disappeared into the bathroom, returning with a towel, a bottle of vodka, and—yes, an actual fucking suture kit. The vodka burned like hell when she poured it over the wound. You bit back a scream, your fingers digging into the couch cushions. Natalie's hands were steady as she threaded the needle, her brow furrowed in concentration. "This is gonna hurt like a bitch," she warned. It did. You hissed through your teeth as the needle pierced your skin, the thread pulling tight with each stitch. Natalie worked in silence, her lips pressed into a thin line. The apartment smelled like blood and vodka and the cheap lavender soap Natalie loved. Outside, sirens wailed in the distance. When she finally tied off the last stitch, her hands lingered on your bare stomach, her thumbs brushing the unmarred skin above the bandage. "You're such an asshole," she whispered, but there was no heat behind it. You reached for her hand. She let you take it. The city kept spinning outside your window. Natalie's grip tightened.
