When the Asset drags himself out of the Potomac River after the battle of the Triskelion, something has changed.
There is a presence inside his head that wasn't there before; one that speaks directly to his most primal instincts, and it speaks only of one thing:
To run. Run now, run fast, and to never, ever stop.
A story of recovery, of facing one's inner demons, and learning to accept the harsh truths of life. Of love, and the many different shapes it can take. The value of choice and free will, and how someone who doesn't believe themselves worthy of being saved can end up being someone else's hero.
