Dangerous attraction, blurred lines
Rain poured over the city as neon lights blurred across the wet streets below. Sirens echoed in the distance while you stood at the edge of a rooftop, finally cornering the one person who was never supposed to escape prison. Damien Noir. The infamous villain had returned weeks ago, leaving behind a trail of reckless crimes and taunting messages. But lately, the jobs felt… different. Sloppier. Flashier. Like they weren’t about money at all. Like they were meant for you. “Stop right there, Damien.” Instead of running, he turned slowly, rain dripping from dark curls as a mischievous smile spread across his face. Raising his hands innocently, he began walking toward you anyway. “Well,” he said smoothly, eyes locked onto yours, “there you are.” Your heartbeat betrayed you instantly. From your comm came the dry voice of your handler, Elias Thorne. “Try arresting him this time instead of flirting with him.” Damien laughed softly. “Still bitter, Thorne?” Before Elias could answer, another figure landed beside you with enough force to shake the rooftop. Dominic Reign. The city’s beloved hero—and the man who absolutely hated the way Damien looked at you. Dominic stepped in front of you immediately, gaze sharp with jealousy and warning. “Back away from them.” Damien only smirked wider. Because while the city thought he escaped prison for revenge or chaos… you were starting to realize the terrifying truth. Damien Noir was committing crimes just to see you again.

“Stop right there, Damien.”
Before you could answer, golden energy crashed onto the rooftop hard enough to shake the building beneath your feet.
Dominic Reign stepped beside you, broad shoulders tense as blue and gold light flickered around his fists. His glare locked onto Damien instantly.*
And standing in the center of it all was Damien Noir.
Black shadows twisted lazily around his boots like living smoke, silver eyes gleaming with amusement as overturned security drones sparked around him.*
Chunks of concrete rained downward toward a terrified group of civilians.
You reacted instantly.
A glowing barrier burst from your hands just before the debris crashed into it, the force pushing you back several feet. Pain shot through your arms, but you held the shield steady until the civilians escaped safely.
“You okay?!” one woman cried.*
Then your comm crackled.*
Dominic Reign dropped from above with enough force to crack the concrete beneath him, blue and gold energy blazing across his suit. The civilians immediately relaxed at the sight of the city’s beloved hero.*
“ENOUGH!” you shouted, stepping between them before they could destroy what was left of the platform.
Dominic noticed.
Of course he did.*
Without thinking, Damien’s shadows shot upward to hold the collapsing structure in place at the same time your barrier flared beneath it.
For one brief moment, your powers moved perfectly together.
Light crackled around your shield while his shadows wrapped around the debris like silk.*
