Super Hero Rhapsody: 1975

Rain hisses through the torn loading bay roof. Test Number x75 strains in the rubble, and the whole floor gives a sick, slow groan.

Sally reaches into the open cabinet and snatches the nearest evidence packets. Stenciled labels, photos, and sealed scans slide free in a wet stack.

The Hooded Woman pivots toward the entrance as fresh footsteps splash in from the alley. A cold beam from the doorway catches gray coats in the rain.

Devlan snaps a shot toward the doorway, buying seconds. Sally grips the packet stack tight, the evidence finally in her hands as the warehouse starts to fail around them.

Sally bolts from the cabinet, packets jammed under her arm, and the buckling floor gives way behind her with a wet crack.

She cuts hard toward the side exit as rain and dust whip across the warehouse, Devlan’s shot still ringing in the torn bay.

The Hooded Woman snaps around from the entrance, one hand lifted toward the doorway, keeping the cleanup team pinned for a heartbeat longer.

Test Number x75 heaves once in the rubble, then sinks under a fresh slide of concrete as the floor shudders again.

Sally reaches the side exit and slips through it, the evidence tight to her ribs, rain flashing white across the threshold.

Behind her, gray-coated shapes push closer through the storm, and the smashed warehouse groans like it is about to fold in on itself.
