characters: Tony and Jess, later Brucey
setting: NYC sewers - late afternoon
content: Sewage, violence...awkward touching? Never know with these two weirdos.
summary: On today's episode of Fetch the Tesseract...
The heat and humidity hadn't followed her through, but the cold and wet filth wasn't better. Green, slimy mold climbed up the stone tunnel walls, and every now and then the low, rumbling sound of the outside could be heard over the flow of wastewater and the occasional groans of old pipes. Other times, like now as Spider-Woman crawled along the arch of a very narrow tunnel, there was nothing at all to accompany her, except for the intolerably rancid smell of rot and sewage that burned the eyes and left a deadly bad taste in her mouth. Her good mood hadn't stood a chance. She reached an opening leading to a wider passage and dropped from the stoned structure to glide through instead. The green dot on her tracker continued to blink; there was definitely activity, located in the central part of the sewer. Supposedly said activity was that of the foreign energy detected earlier, and it was the only reason why the agent was at all in this sewage hell. If it turned out to be the Tesseract--and Madame Hydra seemed especially optimistic--HYDRA needed to get to it first. Spider-Woman didn't exactly share the same enthusiasm, she preferred certainty, and it was hard to believe that of all places, the sewage was where the Cosmic Cube would be. Oh, this scavenger hunt had better be goddamn worth it.
