[Panel 1] (At a nearby watering hole...)
Matt the Henchman: I don’t get it! You’re the highest-ranked hench in the biz! What’s got you down?!
[Panel 2] (Argus the Minotaur sighs, sitting at the bar with Matt, drinking beer.)
Argus the Minotaur: sigh I used to hench with a woman. She was… amazing.
[Panel 3] (Flashback of Argus thinking about the past.)
Argus the Minotaur (narration): I couldn’t bring myself to tell her how I felt about her because it woulda wrecked our working relationship.
[Panel 4] (Flashback continues.)
Argus the Minotaur (narration): When she got promoted, I left henching and just… kicked around for a while.
[Panel 5] (Another flashback, showing Argus sneakily capturing Lightning Lady from behind.)
Argus the Minotaur (narration): After years of trying to forget her, I decided to give it one more try.
[Panel 6] (Argus and Lightning Lady sit next to each other, playing video games.)
Argus the Minotaur (narration): Now I’m back where I started. I’m henching again, and she’s close enough to touch, but too far to hold.
*Caption: After a brief stint at the Silver Agency.
[Panel 7] (Back at the bar, Matt looks at Argus.)
Matt the Henchman: So… what? You’re just gonna suffer in silence?
[Panel 8] (Argus grins sadly.)
Argus the Minotaur: Trust me. You do not want to hear a minotaur suffer out loud.
