[FRANK lying in bed]
[in mind]
FRANK: ow, my neck. Right where am I?
[facing other bed]
Ah, the hotel room. Wait, weren't there people with me? I need to get up but my body feels so limp, heavy, Irrisponsive. I can't move.
[FRANK neck and hand on his neck] my neck feels so..cold
[FRANK looks alarmed and duct tape on mouth.]
[cuts to scene where SHADOW is on top of FRANK grabbing his neck] I knew it I knew it! Crap my hands won't ignite!
[can only see FRANKS face and different hands]
??: you thought you'd get away so easy? Ohhhh-Frank I'm going to get you-
[we see SILVER this time]
I'm always coming. Always looking. Always searching. and I will find you. TRAITOR.
FRANK: [in light] ahhhh! [falls off sofa] was that a dream? [scratching head]
SHADOW: hey! Everything ok?
FRANK: yeah ksh- just..doing some push ups!
SHADOW: right. [throws bad costume] get dressed. We're heading out.
FRANK: [holds costume at arms length] these aren't my clothes?
SHADOW: of course not. This is a comic convention and you're undercover.
FRANK: well why does she get the cop outfit?
JENNY: excuse me it's not just a cop outfit? This is civil bokens uniform from earrape valley.
SHADOW: they were the last two outfits on the shelf and Jenny refused to wear the dress.
JENNY: why'd you think I'd wear pink anyway? I'm already all pink.
SHADOW: don't worry. I'm sure you'll look great.
FRANK: [putting on different clothes] no way in hell I'm putting that on. It will just draw more attention.
SHADOW: your loss. For now, this should cover that obvious hair of yours. [pointing] for this mission, just follow Jenny's orders and you'll be fine. Hmmm...
FRANK: what? Does it not suit me?
SHAFOW: your face..it's still bruised.
FRANK: it's not that bad. I'll be fine.
SHADOW: Jenny can you gix him up before you leave? I'll keep in touch over radio.
JENNY: ugh- fine.Be careful.
[SHADOW LEAVES]
Ok listen human. Let's just get this out of the way. I don't know why he chose you. But I'm only going to help because I have to. Got it?
FRANK: uh, ok?
JENNY: good. Sit down.
[FRANK sits down]
Don't move. Close your eyes.
[she has some cream]
FRANK:what is that? [moving away]
JENNY: stop shaking. [about to run in his eye then cut]
Now just wait a few minutes for it to soak in.
[JENNY going through her things and FRANK in background]
FRANK: wow, I didn't expect you to be a healer.
JENNY: I'm a strategist. Healing is just something I do on the side.
FRANK: I mean...I think healing is cool.
JENNY: well I'm not a healer.
FRANK: well you just healed.
JENNY: do you want that black eye back? [silence for 5 secs]
[glitch screen]
FRANK: [looking into phone with amazement] wow! I can barely see the bruise!
JENNY: [rustling things] [front camera withFRANK in background]
Your welcome. Eh? Where's-
FRANK: [in background] your gun? [JENNY looks scared]
Is this the one [rattling gun]
JENNY: not funny. Give it back human!
FRANK: not until I get some answers missy! Who are you people? Are you working for the authorities? The alley cats? Silver? [JENNY tries to get up] hey-hey-hey! Don't get up! J-just answer me from there ok?
JENNY: what else did you find in the luggage?
FRANK: wow! How could I forget? Maybe all those pictures of me!That is super creepy!
JENNY: [standing up] jeez I thought we were over this already! This mission is classified so I can't tell you much. I know it's confusing but you have to have faith in us. Ugh..look. You used to work for those monsters so this is risky for us too. But I believe everyone deserves a second chance to redeem themselves...so I hope you'll give us that chance as well.
FRANK: right-haha...sorry...sometimes I forget the whole human-element tension exists. If there's anything I can do to make you feel safer-
JENNY: just give me the gun back.
FRANK: oh yeah. Right here. [hands her gun back]
JENNY: we good now? I'm counting on you to have your head in the game. If something happens, I don't want to doubt your actions. Teamwork is about trust.
FRANK: what? When?
JENNY: also if I find you sifting through out things again, I will body you. Put this on [holding earpod] in case we split up. Follow my commands. That's all you need to do. Understood?
FRANK: well what if I can't?
JENNY: we all know what you're capable of.
FRANK: how would you know?
JENNY: no more questions.
FRANK: ahh, questions. Did y'all hire me coz I'm hot? [ego]
JENNY: we hired you coz you're cheap. [smirking]
[video of FRANK frozen in one position, last quote hurt their ego]
Hurry human, I want to see some booths before the mission starts.
[FRANK clutching side and leaning against wall]
FRANK: yeah, right behind you.
