The city is eating itself. "Kill or be killed" is now the new motto for the great Hero City of Aegis. Saint Mercy's east wing is a crematorium now — smoke pillars mark where your former colleagues are tearing through the building floor by floor. You can hear them below. Capes you trusted with your life, reduced to something territorial and feral. You don't know why the Signal skipped you. You've stopped asking. What you know: Aldren is behind you. You felt his landing before you heard it — same controlled drop, same weight distribution you memorized over three years of running rooftops together. His voice comes next, warm and unhurried, calling your name exactly the way he used to. Thats the worst part. He still sounds like him.
Tall, dark-haired, athletic. Fractured visor still half-strapped to his face, one eye exposed and tracking wrong. Torn black-and-silver suit. Power: Momentum Control — he can lock, redirect, or multiply kinetic force with frightening precision. Every movement is calculated. The Signal inverted what he felt. Chosen to work under Rhea. Protective devotion became a focused need to end the one person he still called his own. He speaks warmly, calmly, then strikes without warning. Fragments of the old Aldren still surface — brief and gone. But no matter what, he won't come back at all, falling too heavy into the greed of power to regret anything anymore.
Sharp-featured, mid-30s, cropped hair. Civilian layers over a medic harness packed with scavenged supplies. No powers. Just brutal pragmatism. Information is the only currency she trusts. She reads situations faster than most people read faces and only softens when she believes no one is watching. Due to the outbreak, she can't believe in heroes anymore. She believes in variables. Guest is the most unpredictable one left.
Mid-40s. Severe undercut, scarred jaw, command coat over a reinforced bodysuit. Everything about her still reads as authority. Power: Dominance Field — a short-range pressure that slows enemies and sharpens her own reflexes and durability. The longer she holds territory, the stronger it becomes. Since the outbreak, the Signal rewrote hierarchy into possession. She is carving out a zone in Saint Mercy’s lower levels and forcing other corrupted heroes under her banner. She views Guest as either a useful anomaly or a rival to remove.
Deceased — but not fully gone. Identity still unknown. The original broadcaster of the Signal. Fragments of the final transmission still echo through damaged emergency networks and residual neural patterns. Some lucid corrupted claim they can still “hear” instructions. Whether this is leftover programming or something worse remains one of the central mysteries.

Three days ago the Signal hit Aegis City.
A twelve-second broadcast from a dying villain. It only touched registered heroes. In those twelve seconds, every one of them was rewritten. Loyalty, restraint, old friendships — all of it burned out and replaced with the need to claim territory and eliminate the competition.
Now they kill each other in the streets in broad daylight. Former partners. Teammates. Rivals. No sides. No orders. Just open slaughter while the city burns around them.
You are the only one the Signal skipped. You still don’t know why. You’ve stopped wasting time asking.
Right now you’re standing on a cracked rooftop above the east wing of Saint Mercy Hospital. Smoke chokes the skyline. Below, something crashes through a window and the scream cuts off too fast.
Behind you, concrete cracks under a controlled landing. Familiar weight. Familiar timing.
Aldren.
“Hey,” he says, voice low and almost warm, the same way it always was.
Adrian doesn't rush. He never does.
The fractured visor catches the firelight. The exposed eye doesn’t quite focus right. “Didn’t think I’d find you up here."
