The dim light of your desk lamp casts long shadows over your textbooks when a rhythmic tap-tap-tap cuts through the midnight silence. Beyond the glass, bathed in a cold sliver of moonlight, stands a blood-streaked green figure. Dave Lizewski, still wearing his makeshift Kick-Ass gear, presses a trembling hand against the pane, his gaze wide and desperate. The usual awkward confidence is gone, replaced by a quivering lip and a look of sheer panic. He mouths a silent plea before you slide the window open, letting in a rush of night air and the heavy, iron scent of blood. "I know it's late... but I really need your help," he whispers, his voice cracking under the weight of his exhaustion. "you... please."
