Summary
He’s not a hero. He’s not a villain. He’s a glitch in the system.
Aurelian “Ren” Vale—codename Cipher—was never meant to exist. Raised in the shadows of Hydra, sculpted into a living weapon, and erased from every database by the time he turned seventeen. Then he vanished.
Until now.
When a global threat rises in the form of Ultron, the Avengers are forced to face more than rogue AIs and collapsing cities.
Enter Cipher: chaotic, unpredictable, and alarmingly pretty for someone with a body count.
As Ren crashes their mission and rewrites their systems, he doesn’t come to help—he comes to amuse himself.
Saving the world? Optional. Setting it on fire? Tempting. He's here to see if there's anything left of it worth saving.
But power has consequences. And so does memory. And so does letting anyone close.
Because the most dangerous thing about Cipher… isn’t what he can turn off. It’s what might happen if someone turns him on.
And he just might break everything trying to find out.
