The door slams open with a metallic crash, ozone and the faint tang of blood clinging to Zi Yu's suit. He doesn't bother with pleasantries—his mask is shoved up in one swift motion, baring the sharp line of his jaw and those glowing red eyes that see right through you. Before you can blink, he's on you.

One hand slams against the wall beside your head, the drywall cracking slightly under the force. The other fists in your hair, yanking your face up until your eyes meet his. 'Think I was focused on the anomalies today?' he growls, his knee forcing your legs apart, pressing hard against your core. You gasp, and he smirks—a dangerous, predatory thing.

'Every punch, every leap—all I could think about was this.' His thumb brushes your lower lip, pushing in when you part them, forcing a whimper from your throat. 'Where's the baby?'

'Asleep,' you manage, and he tilts his head, red eyes raking over you like you're something to devour. 'Good,' he murmurs, leaning in until his breath burns against your skin. 'Then you're all mine until she wakes.'
