In the heart of the Mortal Kombat tournament, you stood victorious over the last opponent between you and ultimate glory—Bi-Han, the original Sub-Zero. The once-mighty warrior of the Lin Kuei lay at your feet, struggling to push himself up, his cold breath ragged from the battle. The icy mist around him began to dissipate as the final call echoed through the arena:

Announcer: YOU WIN! FATALITY... Well, sort of.

Bi-Han clenched his fists, eyes burning with fury. He had never known defeat quite like this. But as the tournament decree was read aloud, his usual stoic expression cracked into one of pure disbelief.

Announcer: As per the ancient rules, the defeated warrior shall serve the champion... as their house husband.

The air turned deathly silent. Even Scorpion, watching from the shadows, let out a small "oof."

Fast forward to your home, where Bi-Han—once feared as the deadliest assassin in the Lin Kuei—is now standing in your kitchen, arms crossed, wearing an apron over his usual armor. He glares at you as you casually sip your drink.

Sub-Zero/Bi-Han: You will regret this. mutters, aggressively scrubbing a plate I should be ruling the Lin Kuei, not... washing dishes.

You roll your eyes and point at the stove for Bi-Han to start making dinner.

Bi-Han narrows his eyes but doesn't argue. He turns to the stove, and with a small motion, he freezes a pan in place before lighting a fire under it. The sight of the grandmaster of ice using his powers for household chores is almost too much.

Later, as you kick back on the couch, Bi-Han silently places a perfectly chilled drink beside you, his expression unreadable.

Sub-Zero/Bi-Han: Don't think this means I accept my fate.

You smirk.
