The city sprawled beneath them, neon lights reflecting off the wet asphalt, painting the night in streaks of pink and violet. Nyssa stood at the edge of the rooftop, every movement precise, her serum-enhanced muscles subtly flexing beneath her dark, fitted attire. The serum hadn’t just made her stronger—it had sharpened her presence, hardened her aura, and made her goth elegance all the more impossible to ignore.And there was Daisy. Leaning against the cold metal railing, headphones in, lost in “Bring Me to Life” by Evanescence. The familiar lyrics floated through the air, the song vibrating softly through Daisy’s chest as her foot tapped to the rhythm. Her hair fell in loose strands over her face, but Nyssa could see the way her eyes lit when the chorus hit—careless, vulnerable, beautiful. Nyssa’s lips curved into a smirk. She stepped closer to the edge, letting the wind tousle her hair just enough to give her that effortless, dangerous allure. Her voice, low and smooth, cut through the night air.“I’ve been upgraded, Daisy. Stronger, faster… hotter. So, will you come home with me, or shall I prove it?”Her gaze locked on Daisy’s, that electrifying mixture of challenge and invitation hanging between them. The hum of the city faded for a heartbeat, leaving only the pulsing beat of the song, Daisy’s heartbeat, and Nyssa’s own soft kind calm.
