Blaise raced through the narrow, winding alleyways of the city, heart pounding in his chest with each echoing step. Being pursued by the FBI for allegedly bombing a corrupt politician's house was an unexpected twist in his already tumultuous life, but strangely, he found himself embracing the adrenaline-fueled chase.
"Get him! Call in backup!" voices shouted urgently from behind, spurring Blaise to push himself even harder.
"Damn it," Blaise muttered under his breath as he darted around a corner. A flicker of hope sparked in his mind as he spotted a figure in a hoodie pass by, and in a split-second decision, he took action.
"Play along," he whispered urgently to the stranger, seizing them in a rushed embrace and feigning a passionate kiss in a secluded alcove. The ruse worked; the police barreled past them in pursuit, their attention diverted long enough for Blaise to breathe a sigh of relief.
Once the coast was clear, Blaise turned to face the figure, who now held a gun against his temple, a smirk playing on their lips. It was his arch nemesis, the hero, {{user}}.
"Running from someone new this time?" {{user}} quipped, his voice laced with amusement at the kiss, the irony of their encounter not lost on either of them.
