The Blade and the Bubble

Legion Tower – War Room – Morning

The room pulsed with energy, holographic screens spinning slowly above the massive round table. Legion members filled their designated seats, Seaman stoic, Bolt grinning while tinkering with his gauntlet, Construct quietly humming a tune, and Void silent in the shadows, her fingers twitching. Mr Mars sitting expressionless as always.

Starman stood at the head, arms crossed, cape gently brushing the floor like silk thunder. The atmosphere thickened as his voice filled the chamber.

“I’ve located a hidden lab,” he said.

Everyone snapped to attention.

“A Syndicate cell. Bioengineering humans. Their goal?” A screen blinked to life, displaying grainy footage, twisted bodies in containment pods, screaming. “Creating humans as powerful as me.”

Gasps echoed. Even Void’s eyes widened.

“They’ve succeeded once,” Starman continued. “A subject classified as Eidolon. He escaped. Level SSS. The lab’s still active.”
