Down in the Tunnels

ARC THREE · THE SPECTACULAR SILVA, PART 1. A doctor goes missing. A reptile climbs out of the sewers under Bed-Stuy.

Zachary on a Brooklyn rooftop reading a newspaper — TWO WEEKS LATER. THE SUIT IS GONE. SO IS DR. CONNERS.

// NARRATION

Curt Conners. One arm short, one regeneration formula too clever. The kind of guy who tests on himself when nobody else volunteers.

// ZACHARY

"Aight, doc. You went under three nights ago. Let's see what crawled back up."

A massive green reptilian creature in a torn lab coat in the sewers — THE TUNNELS UNDER FULTON STREET. SOMETHING THAT USED TO BE A MAN.

HISSSS!

// THE REPTILE

"Spider. Warm. SSSMALL."

// NARRATION

Zachary danced through the dark. Web-line. Wall-crawl. Spider-tingle screaming in three directions at once. The Reptile was fast. The Reptile was hungry.

Zachary mid-swing dodging claws — TWO BLOCKS OF SEWER. ONE SHOT TO HIT THE FORMULA VIAL.

THWIP!

// NARRATION

The vial shattered against scales. Steam. A scream. And under the steam — a one-armed man crying in shallow water.

// DR. CONNERS

"I'm sorry. I'm so sorry. Don't tell my wife what I almost — what I —"

// ZACHARY

"Doc. You're a man. That's all the news is gonna say."

// NARRATION
