I came here to ask you something.” “What is it?” Orm sighed. “Before you took back the throne, the last time I saw you was when you fell to your death. So I gotta ask brother, how are you even alive?” Orm explained, “Well, if I remember correctly, I was frozen in ice for months until I was rescued by surface-dwellers. They took me in to some facility and put me through experiments.” “Who put you through this?” Arthur asked. “There was this bald-headed guy wearing a suit with an L on it. He was in charge of the facility, but I don't remember his name though. That's all the information I can give you.” Orm told him. Arthur had an idea on who Orm was referring to, but he said nothing. “If you know who it is, make him pay for what he did to me.” He nodded, “Alright, good talk. Let's do this again next time. And I hope you have a good day, brother.” Orm said nothing and nodded in return while Arthur exited the prison. Meanwhile, David Kane/Black Manta survived and was resting on a float, surrounded by the ocean. “Hey!” A voice called as the boat stopped and three men saw the unconscious David. Minutes later, David was resting in the house owned by marine scientist, Dr. Stephen Shin. David was on the bed with wraps and bandages, including one covered on his eye as the television was on. “I spent 15 years at the United States Institute of Marine Science…” “Weren’t you fired?” The news reporter abruptly asked. “…studying oceanic phenomenon, and this is the most conclusive evidence we have to date. Deep-sea seismographs have recorded explosions on the ocean floor. We have satellite imagery of debris from Atlantean warships floating on the surface…” “Dr. Shin!” “Will you please let me finish?” Dr. Shin insisted. “Here we go again, Atlantean?” “Yes. The government does not want us to know about the threat that exists right here…” Dr. Shin was tinkering David’s helmet until David noticed. He told Shin, “Yeah, I wouldn't do that if I were you.” David’s helmet visors began to glow red and Dr. Shin ducked for cover before it shot lasers at the fish tana, making the fish tank break into pieces. After it stopped, Dr. Shin rose up from his desk and was fascinated by the technology of David’s mech suit. “This is Atlantean technology, isn’t it? Can you tell me how you got this?” Dr. Shin asked David. “Sure. But first, you gotta tell me how to find him.” David threw a knife at a newspaper headlining about Aquaman, making Dr. Shin startled.
