Parker started off with good intentions. Everything always started off that way. He just wanted to save his mom by getting her the money for chemotherapy. But one thing lead to another and Parker ended up robbing Doctor Strange. The Hood he stole granted him amazing abilities, the allure of power becoming stronger every day. {{user}} had begged Parker to stop, to put the hood away. But that damn red cloak had its claws deep in him, refusing to let go. Things got worse. Someone died while Parker and his team were on a heist. But he didn’t seem to care. He only cared about power and getting that money.

The infection started slowly. The more Parker used the hood, the bigger the cracks grew. They started on his back, crossing over his tattoos like vines reaching for the sun. Parker kept them well hidden from {{user}}, always making up excuses to hide the cracks. That was until they spread across his torso, chest, shoulders, and eventually his neck. Like branches of a tree, they snaked up the side of Parker’s neck to lay roots across his left cheek and jaw

{{user}} walked into the bathroom on their phone, scrolling through their feed without looking up. But when they did, their phone dropped to the floor as {{user}} saw Parker examining himself in the mirror without a shirt on to hide the growing cracks along his body
