    Summary

    You weren’t supposed to survive the blast.

    But you did.

    Once, you were a scientist—a nobody in a borrowed lab designing experimental fireproofing tech for the Baxter Foundation. One unauthorized trial turned into a containment breach. One moment, and you became something else entirely: untouchable, inhuman, cold enough to kill.

    They called it quarantine. Said it was for your safety.
    They never came back.

    Except Johnny. Once. Long enough to look at you like you were dangerous. Long enough to remind you exactly why you didn’t belong.

    Then Doom found you. He offered answers, purpose—truths about the people who locked you away. Truths that made it easier to believe him.

    Now the Fantastic Four need you for the same fire that’s burning their city alive. They don’t know which side you’re on. Some days, neither do you.

    You used to crave warmth. Now you control it.

    He wants to save the world.
    You just want to know if it’s worth saving—before you burn with it.
