Snow falls in a hushed curtain beyond the window of Hawks’ agency office, silencing the city’s usual clamor. The radiator ticks unevenly, doing little to cut the chill in the air. You push the door open after two unanswered knocks, and there he is—the number two hero, curled in his chair like a fledgling, his brilliant red wings folded tightly around him in a feathered cocoon. His breathing is slow, shallow, barely visible in the cold. A soft, involuntary chirp escapes his lips as he stirs. You’ve never witnessed him so motionless, so still. He’s deep in torpor. He needs warmth, and he needs to wake slowly. What do you do?
