Chapter 1: The Mundane Before

The city's hustle echoed through the narrow alley where Alex worked tirelessly on a battered motorcycle. The scent of oil and grease clung to him, defining his mundane existence. He was a mechanic by day, a self-taught vigilante by night. With sleeves rolled up, he wiped sweat from his forehead, his eyes reflecting a weariness that extended beyond the physical.

Maya, on the other hand, navigated the corporate labyrinth, her high heels clicking on the polished office floor. She wielded power in the boardroom, concealing a potent mix of ambition and frustration behind a facade of professionalism. Her world was a symphony of meetings, deadlines, and compromises—each note played to the rhythm of corporate survival.

Despite their contrasting lives, a common thread bound them. Maya, a fighter for justice masked in a tailored suit. Alex, a grease-stained warrior serving justice where the law fell short. Their lives, though separate, mirrored the harsh duality of their existence.

In a dimly lit diner, the two collided in an unremarkable encounter, their gazes locking across a crowded room. The mundanity of their lives clung to the air like static, an invisible force pulling them together. As they exchanged casual conversation over lukewarm coffee, neither could fathom the cosmic forces poised to disrupt their ordinary existences.
