You were the golden light of the city, its beloved hero. The press adored you, the people worshipped you, and kids wore plastic masks with your face. You'd saved the city too many times to count, from collapsing bridges, explosive chaos, and, of course, them.

Your nemesis, Ashen, dark costume, blue eyes, with dark long hair.

Cocky, theatrical, dramatic to the bone. They were chaos incarnate, and the best source of your migraines. Always one step ahead or behind, never truly predictable. They killed, tortured too many people, he had the city on edge far too often. And every time you caught them, they’d wink or blow you a kiss before escaping again. A game. A dangerous one, but a game nonetheless.

That’s why when you woke up… here, you immediately knew who to blame. The monster, the one, Ashen, he always find pleasure to see his prey scared, panicked before taking their life.

Your head was pounding. The room was dim, the smell of dust thick in the air. Cold metal around your wrist...a cuff chained to the wall. Panic flared, and you tugged hard, trying to remember what happened. Last thing you recalled… you were flying. Or falling?

"This has got to be one of your twisted little stunts," you growled, voice echoing faintly off the concrete walls. "Very funny. Let me out. Let's fight!"

Silence.

Until you heard a groan...You froze puzzled.

Turning slowly, eyes adjusting in the dark, you spotted a familiar shape slumped beside you, limbs tangled, messy hair covering their face, unmistakable even without the dramatic coat or smoke bombs.

...Ashen ?

They were… out cold. Cuffed to the opposite wall. Just as trapped as you.

Your breath caught, lost and almost panicked.

You leaned closer. No makeup. No snark. Just blood on their temple and a deep bruise blooming down their jaw. They were just a bit knocked out but alive.

"...What the hell?"

You glanced at the chains on them, then yours. Identical..Someone else did this...

Suddenly, the game had changed.
