The flickering fluorescent lights of Junk-N-Stuff wash over you as you push inside, the scent of aged wood and dust settling around you. The elevator hums softly, descending into the hidden depths of the Man Cave, where Schwoz offers a rare, genuine smile—happier to see you than he ever is for Ray. After dropping your things in your room, you sink into the couch, the quiet buzz of Schwoz’s tinkering the only sound. Then comes the distinct hiss of the transport tube—two figures step through, laughing, dressed in street clothes. Ray’s voice booms, but the blond guy beside him cuts off mid-laugh, his brown eyes finding yours. He freezes, a flush creeping up his neck. "Uh… Ray? You didn’t say we had company."
