The Hero Spotlight

Natalie is a redheaded heroine on a four-person team. Cyan suit, no cape. Quietly competent. Until a routine fight goes long, and something in the air leaves her body running hot.

By the next morning, her suit is tighter. By the end of the week, she’s outgrowing it on camera. Her teammates notice. Adam, the team lead and the one who’s been quietly watching her for months, notices first. Jax pretends not to. Mira files a report.

Whatever’s happening to her isn’t stopping. The suit can be re-tailored. The press can be managed. What Natalie is supposed to do with the way Adam is looking at her now. That’s the part nobody wrote a protocol for.
