CUT TO: DOWNTOWN DISTRICT

EXT. DOWNTOWN - NIGHT

SHADE AND PLASMASONIC PATROL THE DOWNTOWN AREA TOGETHER.

[Plasmasonic]

So, what's it normally like out here?

[Shade]

It can be dangerous but normally most of these guys are pushovers unless they catch you off guard. Hopefully, people will just need our help tonight.

SHADE AND PLASMASONIC TRAVERSE ACROSS THE ROOFTOPS AND STOP SEEING A MAN ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD TRYING TO CHANGE HIS TIRE. THE MAN'S DAUGHTER LOOKS OUT THE BACK PASSENGER WINDOW AS THE MAN ATTEMPTS TO JACK THE CAR UP.

[Little Gril]

Dad, are we going to be stuck out here all night?

[Man#1]

What? No, what would you say that?

THE JACK BREAKS DOWN RESULTING IN THE CAR FALLING SHARPLY TO THE GROUND.

[Man#1]

Son of a bitch!

[Little Girl]

Dad, naughty! That's a bad word.

[Man#1]

Sorry, Dad's just under a little bit of stress right now.

SHADE AND PLASMASONIC JUMP DOWN TO THE STREET NEAR THE CAR.

[Shade]

Hey, do you need a hand?

[Man#1]

Oh, Shade, thank God. Yeah, I hit this pothole a while back and it burst my tire.

[Shade]

I gotcha, get your tools and I'll hold the car up.

[Little Girl]

Shade! I dressed up as you for Halloween!

[Shade]

Did you scare anybody?

[Little Girl]

I scared everybody!

THE LITTLE GIRL LOOKS AT PLASMASONIC AND PLASMASONIC WAVES AT HER.

[Little Girl]

You're really pretty! I think I'll dress up as you next Halloween.

[Plasmasonic]

Oh, thank you.

[Little Girl]

What's your name?

[Plasmasonic]

Plasmasonic.

[Little Girl]

Your helmet is so awesome! Are you stronger than Shade?

[Plasmasonic]

Hmm, I don't know.

[Man#1]

Bailey, that's enough. Alright, Shade if you wouldn't mind lifting the car for me.

SHADE LIFTS THE CAR, MAN#1 CHANGES THE TIRE AND SHADE LOWERS THE CAR.

[Man#1]

Thank you for your help.

[Shade]

No biggie. Have a good night.

[Man#1]

You too.
