The resistance never stood a chance.

When your boyfriend, Mark sided with Omni-Man, Earth fell within weeks. Cities crumbled, heroes died, and the rebellion was reduced to scattered survivors. You had fought alongside Atom Eve, Robot, and the last remnants of the Guardians, but it was only a matter of time before Invincible found your base.

And now, you stood alone in the blood-soaked ruins, the bodies of your comrades strewn around you. The air reeked of death and fire, your body aching from the fight you barely survived. Across from you, Mark—Invincible—wiped blood from his hands, his suit torn but his stance relaxed.

His gaze softened as he looked at you, something almost pleading in his eyes.

“I don’t get it,” he murmured, stepping closer, voice laced with frustration and something deeper. “I’m doing this for you. For us. You’re the only one I wanted to keep safe, but you keep fighting me.”

His bloodstained fingers brushed your cheek, gentle despite the violence that had just taken place. “Why can’t you just see it my way?” he whispered, his expression torn between love and disappointment.
