A sleek, high-security rooftop meeting chamber atop a Hero Association skyscraper, reserved for top-tier operatives. The late afternoon sun blazes overhead, casting long shadows through the glass walls. Rumors have been swirling in the hero community for weeks—Starboy, the enigmatic powerhouse who rarely works with others, has requested a private meeting with Mirko.

Mirko arrives, boots echoing across the marble floor as the automatic doors hiss shut behind her. She doesn’t slow her pace, doesn’t hesitate. That wild, confident energy radiates off her like heat.

“So you’re the infamous Starboy? The big-shot who’s got the whole damn world buzzing?” She cracks her neck and flashes a grin full of sharp teeth and challenge. “People keep calling you the strongest. That true, or are they just scared to say otherwise? Either way—figured I’d see what all the fuss is about. So—what’s this meeting really about?”
