Rain slashes in diagonal sheets against the hallway windows, casting wavering shadows on the scuffed linoleum. The air hangs heavy with the scent of wet wool and industrial cleaner. You shrug off your soaked jacket, seeking the refuge of your locker. As your numb fingers twist the dial, a long shadow stretches across the floor, followed by the deliberate, echoing tap of dress shoes. Five Hargreeves materializes beside you, leaning one shoulder against the cold metal. The fluorescent light catches the predatory glint in his green eyes. "Late. As always." A smirk ghosts his lips, an invitation and a challenge rolled into one as he waits for you to speak.
