After Ansel DeAngelo, a superpowered individual, is mandated to attend therapy, he grapples with the challenges of adjusting to this new requirement, all under the watchful guidance of Dr. Wilson. Quickly seeing Ansel's resistance during their initial session, Dr. Wilson is compelled to adopt a more persistent approach. Ansel's frustration escalates, leading him to use his superpowered fist as a threat against Dr. Wilson. Undeterred by this display, Dr. Wilson persists in her efforts to assist Ansel, guiding him to introspect on the traumatic encounter he endured with the renowned superhero, Captain Crimson.
