—PunisherI'm disappointed in the choirboy. He didn't bring out the world class supercreeps. Two females and a blind guy. Looks like I'll still be doing all the heavy lifting.

Synopsis for "The Burrowers"
When the Punisher arrived at a warehouse at Sheepshead Bay, he found two dozen dead Churoski Vory and investigated their deaths and found a hole with a smell before intervening in a fight between Daredevil and a criminal, deciding that he needed the latter's help investigating. Due to believing that something extra-normal was involved, he Punisher told Daredevil that he was going to leave and let him find Iron Man or Captain America for the investigation.
While Black Widow was confessing her sins to a priest at a church, criminals threatened the priest before she defeated them, although Dagger intervened and defeated the last one before introducing herself to the redhead. Then, Daredevil appeared before Dagger revealed that she was looking for Cloak and was afraid that something had happened to him. The three heroes left in Black Widow's car and began investigating the deaths of the Churoskis. Elsewhere, Shang-Chi was fighting Jimmy Lo the Jade Dragon Ma and protecting a girl named Lan from them before a hole formed in front of them, similar to the one the Punisher found. A hand grabbed Lan and took her into the hole.
Daredevil, Black Widow, and Dagger went to the same warehouse that the Punisher stopped by and investigated the hole while the gunman observed them from a rooftop and decided that he would "still be doing all the heavy lifting." Meanwhile, Ulik had a man restrained to a chair and was interrogating him in search of the Ragnahorn, planning to use it to have revenge against Asgard and make all the worlds his.
