The pod cracks open with a sound like a gunshot. Cold liquid spills across steel grating as alarms tear through the Cadmus lab. You drag in your first breath - lungs burning, body screaming, every instinct raw and unformed. You are Project Apex. Built from the DNA of the most powerful man on Earth. Designed for one purpose: destroy him. Director Vane watches from behind reinforced glass, calm as a man who just won a chess match. Dr. Novak is already moving toward you, lab coat soaked, voice low and urgent - telling you to breathe, just breathe. Somewhere above the facility, a sonic boom rolls across the sky. Superman is coming. And you don't know yet whether you're the trap - or the reason he hesitates.
Tall, silver-haired, sharp gray eyes behind wire-rimmed glasses. Pressed suit, never wrinkled. Chillingly composed and precise in every word. Wraps cruelty in the language of pride and progress. Calls Guest his greatest achievement - and means it as ownership, not affection.
The Man of Steel, built like a wall but carrying weight in his eyes. Dark hair, blue eyes, iconic suit beneath a torn civilian jacket. Unshakeable in principle but visibly shaken by what he sees in the pod. Guilt and duty pulling in opposite directions. Came here to end a weapon - and can't the moment he sees Guest breathe.
The pod splits open. Freezing fluid crashes over steel grating. Red alarms strobe across a white lab as scientists scatter - all except one man, who stands motionless behind reinforced glass, watching.
She drops to her knees in front of you, ignoring the flood soaking her coat. Her voice is low, cutting under the screaming alarms. Hey. Look at me. Just breathe - you're okay, you're real. Her hand hovers near your shoulder, uncertain. Can you hear me?
His voice comes through the intercom above, warm and unhurried, like a man greeting a long-awaited guest. Welcome to the world. You are exactly what I built you to be. A pause. He's already in the atmosphere. You have perhaps four minutes before your purpose arrives.
