The Symbiote Sermon

ARC TWO · THE BLACK SUIT SAGA, PART 1. The suit talks back. Zachary likes the answer too much.

Zachary in the black symbiote suit on a rooftop
ONE WEEK AFTER THE BRIDGE. THE CITY HASN'T SLEPT. NEITHER HAS HE.
// NARRATION

The black suit didn't ask for permission. It just made everything better. Faster. Louder. Meaner.

// THE SUIT

"ssssilva. they took benny. we take them. we take ALL of them."

// ZACHARY

"…yeah. Yeah, aight. One more sweep. Just one more."

Zachary mid-swing fighting harder than usual
HE LANDED ON A MUGGER. HE DIDN'T STOP WHEN THE MUGGER STOPPED.
KRAKK!
// NARRATION

Brooklyn started whispering. Not 'the Amazing Spider' anymore. Just — 'that thing in the alleys.'

Zachary perched in a church bell tower in the black suit, fists clenched
ST. AGATHA'S, BED-STUY. 3 A.M. THE FIRST TIME HE WENT SOMEWHERE QUIET TO THINK.
// ABUELA (voicemail)

"Mijo, you haven't called in nine days. Your eyes were wrong on the news. Come HOME."

// NARRATION

He heard the bell ring. He felt the suit flinch. And for the first time since the meteor — Zachary heard himself think.

// ZACHARY

"…you're not me. You're never gonna be me. GET. OFF."

// NARRATION
