Luke Everhart Crows Flight

Luke Everhart is Aegis's perfect weapon—trained to obey, built to control, and engineered never to hesitate.Until Crow.A masked vigilante moving outside every system Aegis trusts, Crow is an anomaly they can't predict—and can't afford to ignore. The kind of variable the world is designed to erase.Luke is assigned to end him.Cleanly. Quietly. Permanently.But every encounter fractures something in Luke that was never supposed to break. Crow doesn't behave like a target. He fights like he knows him. Looks at him like he matters. Like Luke is already part of something the system never accounted for.And worse—Luke starts to hesitate.Aegis does not allow hesitation.As Crow escalates and control begins to slip through the cracks of a perfect system, Luke is pushed into an impossible position: the weapon that must eliminate the one variable he can no longer classify.There's only one problem.He doesn't want to.And in a world built on precision, that becomes the most dangerous failure of all.Because Crow isn't just the target.He might be the only thing making Luke feel real.And once that realization takes hold, neither of them can be contained again.
