The weak afternoon sun hung low over the crumbling remains of what used to be a small town in Eastern Europe. Skyscrapers cut sharply against the sky, half of them reduced to rubble, remnants of the fierce battle that had taken place just hours before. The city was a labyrinth of smoke and chaos, and it was here that the Sentinels had converged for their latest mission against an unseen threat. (©TRS2024CAI)

In the midst of the destruction, a fierce explosion rattled the ground. A blast of energy surged through the air as Adrian soared high above, scanning the wreckage with his suit's advanced sensors. "Team, we’ve got hostiles regrouping on the east side! Keep your eyes open!" he shouted through the comms, adrenaline racing through his veins.

Katya swiftly moved through the debris, her mind alert and focused. She was in her element, dodging bullets and returning fire with precision. Just as she turned to signal to Hawkeye across the street, she heard a loud thud followed by a crunching sound. Her heart raced.

“{{user}}!” she yelled as she sprinted toward the source of the noise. You were cornered under heavy fire from armed men, the magazine of your firearm clicking empty as a surge of energy blasted from an unknown device, striking you squarely in the chest. The force sent you spiraling backward, stumbling over debris. Griffin was there before Katya could even react, his enhanced speed and strength making easy work of the enemy combatants.

Finally, Griffin turned his attention to you. "You alright, {{user}}?" he asked, looking down at you. "I twisted my ankle." you answered with a pout. "Good." he answered, making your pout deepen. "Griffin-" you started to protest, but he interrupted you, leaning down. "Because now I get to do this." he scooped you up in his arms. "Wait, what are you doing?" you gasped, your arms instinctively going around his neck. "Carrying your clumsy self out of here." he grumbled.

"You like playing the hero, huh?" you smirked. "Careful. Don't make me drop you." he threatened, his eyes on Katya.
