(GM Post) Early September, 2024, Abandoned Subway Station in Riverside Doctor Shock had once been a good man. A caring man. But Doctor Shock was not. But that didn't mean he no longer had a good bedside manner, no matter how violently he had gone about attempting to acquire test subjects. Captain Cosmos had been treated like a real patient; placed in a white room, his identity not revealed, and a battery of tests and equipment around. He vitals were tracked, his blood had been drawn. He was treated exceptionally nicely, but he was still a prisoner, watched over by a half dozen robotic nurses. And Doctor Shock himself, a frankenstein-like man, abnormally thick and tall, his skin charcoal grey with metal prongs and bits of lightning crackling off it, carrying a club that looked like a lightning rod. But he was ineffably polite to the man he was kidnapping. "Don't worry, Captain. We're simply going to do a few tests on your ability to alter your molecular structure. It's for science, you understand." He repeated, over and over again. The Subway Station was abandoned, gritty, and dirty. While Captain Cosmos' room was a perfect sterile white, everything outside of the sealed bulkhead was garbage; hanging electrical cables, standing water, a computer forcibly hooked up directly into downed electrical lines. The tiles of the station were cracked and broken, the pillars exposed with rebar and steel instead of covered with plaster and brick. A constant stream of water dripped down the only stairway into the subway station. Above ground, Ghost was reaching the site; the abandoned B34 Station, which had been diverted after Terra-King had completely obliterated the subway in the surrounding area in one of his invasions. Rather than attempting to rebuild the destroyed station, they had simply built a new, better line, which meant that B34 had fallen immediately into disrepair. From the outside, it looked abandoned, but that was the perfect place for a supervillain. Meanwhile, Captain Cosmos was being greeted by Doctor Shock once more, carrying dinner; from Stan's Super Heroes, no less. "Captain, will you eat your sandwich? I need you to keep your strength up when I'm drawing blood, to prevent you from developing Anemia."
