The Rundown: Claire’s investigation into the ghosts in the subway will put her face to face with another hero.
A hero in the past leaves his family to fight for justice and encounters a mysterious figure in a local bar. Years later, his grandson gives his own grandson a gift of the guns his great grandfather Champion Strong used. Guns that have strange powers that warn against danger. Not believing what his grandfather told him, the man leaves to return to his job and discovers that the guns are glowing as he discovers a skyscraper that wasn’t there before.
Inside the building, Claire’s sister is having a hard time figuring the formula that gave Claire her powers and wants to study it further. Her other sister discovers some information that might help Claire with her investigation in the subway and she heads to an abandoned subway station to get some answers. After discovering something haunting, Claire returns home. Unfortunately, the spirits return home with her.
