ROAD STEED #3 — “SHIFT”
Short Synopsis
Road Steed starts realizing the strange energy following her isn’t fear—it’s responsibility.
Cass tries to keep life normal, sticking to routine and convincing herself the strange incidents with the dead are isolated moments. But when bodies begin moving again—subtle at first, then undeniably—normal stops being an option.
At work, her coworker Leviticus notices something is off, but not enough to understand it. Cass keeps it quiet, handling the fear alone while trying to stay professional.
During a solo transport, the impossible becomes unavoidable: the body in her van shifts on its own.
This time, she can’t explain it away.
When the corpse begins pressing upward beneath the sheet, Cass is forced to act. Instinct takes over. She places her hand down—and something inside her pushes back harder.
For the first time, her power responds with intention.
Not destruction.
Control.
She suppresses it. Stops it. Holds it down.
By the end of the issue, Cass understands the truth:
this isn’t random,
this isn’t imagination,
and whatever followed her from that first pickup…
is now hers to manage.
