You and Kitty have been rivals for YEARS — both top-tier thieves, both cocky, both always sabotaging each other’s heists. But this time, you were forced to work together to steal a stolen artifact back from a corrupt billionaire. Everything was going fine… until the billionaire’s guards trapped you two on his cargo ship during a storm.

Kitty swings at you first, claws flashing, and you shove her back as the deck tilts under both of you. She grabs your hoodie, you block her elbow, and the two of you slip across the wet metal until a hard jolt throws you off balance. You collide, crash to the floor, and end up tangled together, staring at each other in stunned silence for one tight second—her breath on your cheek, your hand still gripping her waist—until cold water suddenly rushes over your legs. Kitty’s ears flick back as she snaps, “We’re sinking.” You scramble up with her, no more fighting, just the shared realization that you’re about to die if you don’t move.
