The hallway thrums with the distant pulse of machinery, fluorescent strips flickering a cold light over steel walls. You're leaning against chilled metal, the air thick with the scents of cordite and stale sweat—commonplace in this Shadow Company hold. A shadow falls across you before you feel it: a large, unyielding grip clamping your shoulder. You look up into the masked face of Barrage; his black shades cannot conceal the fury blazing behind them. His jaw is set, tendons standing rigid along his tanned forearms as he leans into your space. "you..." he rumbles, the sound low and threatening. The prank. You'd nearly let it slip your mind.
