INT. WCA HQ- DAY
[Squirrel Girl wakes up, her hair is messy and she is wearing a large t-shirt that covers all that needs to be covered. She slowly gets out of bed and passes Tippy-Toe, her squirrel, who is sleeping in a dog bed that is definitely too big. Squirrel Girl sleepily walks into the bathroom that is connected to her room. She looks at herself in the mirror and sighs.]
S.G: Bad hair day, am I right Tip?
[The squirrel doesn't respond because it's a squirrel. Squirrel Girl picks up a hairbrush and brushes her unruly hair until it's ruly.]
S.G: Today is going to be a good day... Today is going to be a good day.
[Squirrel Girl steps out of her bathroom and- her phone is ringing... She picks up.]
S.G: Hello?
Speedball: (on the phone) Doreen! You're awake!
S.G: Yeah. Is that surprising?
Speedball: Well, we're kinda on a mission right now and you're missing it.
S.G: Wait, you all went on a mission without me?!
Speedball: Yeah and let me tell you...
INT. CHURCH- SAME.
Speedball: It's kinda gross.
[We see Speedball and the rest of the West Coast Avengers standing in a church. 8 dead bodies lie in many places. Some lay in pews, some hanging from the ceiling and one body- the priest- laying in the arms of a statue angel.]
S.G: (on the phone) Okay, explain the scene to me.
Speedball: Lots of dead people in a church.
Hawkeye: Robbie! Get off the phone!
Speedball: It's Doreen!
[Hawkeye takes the phone out of Speedball's hands.]
Hawkeye: Hi. Are you alright?
S.G: Yeah, why do you ask?
Hawkeye: You were talking in your sleep.
S.G: What was I saying?
Hawkeye: "No, no, stop. Get off of me."
S.G: Oh.
Hawkeye: Did something happen?
CUT BACK TO:
INT. WCA HQ- SAME.
[Squirrel Girl is silently crying.]
Hawkeye: (on the phone) Doreen?
[Squirrel Girl wipes away her tears.]
S.G: I'm fine. Everything's fine.
Hawkeye: Are you sure?
S.G: Yeah, absolutely.
Hawkeye: You can sit this mission out if you want to.
S.G: Yeah. Yeah, thanks.
[Squirrel Girl hangs up the phone and then sits down on her bed. She stares at the corner of her room. Tippy-Toe comes up to Squirrel Girl and snuggles up to her. Tippy-Toe looks up to Doreen and squeaks.]
S.G: I'm fine.
[Another squeak.]
S.G: I promise.
[Yet another squeak.]
S.G: Do I ever miss him? No, of course not, he...
[Squirrel Girl's face slowly morphs into a face of realisation- she does miss him. She misses him so much, and she feels awful about it. Tippy-Toe gives a concerned squeak.]
S.G: No, no. I'm not gonna go see him...
[She's lying to herself.]
S.G: I'm definitely not going to see him...
[A beat of silence.]
S.G: Fuck it, I'm gonna go see him.
EXT- UPPER NEW YORK HOUSE- DAY
[Squirrel Girl stands in front of a suburban house. A car with the SHIELD logo sits in the driveway.]
S.G: Why the fuck am I doing this?
