World Of Heroes (X-MENxAVENGERS)

Scene 30

30        INT. XAVIOR'S SCHOOL (BASEMENT) - DAY

[ROGUE, BEAST, CYCLOPS, PHOENIX & PRO.X enter the basement]

CAP.AMERICA: Are you the man in charge of this establishment?

HAWKEYE: Seriously, Steve- he a wise, old guy in a wheel chair, inside some rich- ass castle- of course he's the guy in charge!

[BL.WIDOW whacks HAWKEYE up the head]

HAWKEYE: Ow!

PRO.X: My name is Professor Charles Xavior. As your comrade bluntly put it; I am the 'guy' in charge here.

CAP.AMERICA: Good. My name is Steve Rogers, otherwise known as-

PRO.X: Captain America. Yes, we know who you are, all of you.

IRON MAN: (jokingly) What? You a mind-reader or something.

PRO.X: (voice-over) Actually, yes. And the correct terminology is; telepath.

CAP.AMERICA: Listen, there's been a mix up- you need to let us go-

CYCLOPS: My, this is sounding awfully familia, oh wait-

PHOENIX: (warningly) Scott.

BL.WIDOW: Why don't you tell us where the rest of our team are?

[PHOENIX steps forward]

PHOENIX: Why don't you tell us why you were in the woods fighting the Brotherhood.

[Silence as CAP.AMERICA considers his options]

CAP.AMERICA: If we give you the information you want, will you give us the same in return?

PRO.X: Yes.

CAP.AMERICA: We were in the woods because our car broke down as were on our way to negotiate with you.

PYRO: Negotiate! You having us a laugh. The only reason why people like you come looking for people like us is to HUNT. US. DOWN.

PRO.X: Manners, Mr. Alleryder.

PYRO: Manners' are a bit overrated in this situation.

[PYRO exits]

PRO.X: Our apologies for his rude behaviour.

IRON MAN: All right, we gave you the info, now your turn.

CYCLOPS: We don't know where your friends are. They're missing.

BEAST: As is one of our own.

HAWKEYE: They're lying.

PRO.X: I assure you, we are not lying- what reason do we have to do such a thing. Is there anything else you would like? Otherwise, I suggest you make yourselves comfortable.

IRON MAN: Do you have Wi-Fi?

[PRO.X, BEAST, CYCLOPS, PHOENIX, ICEMAN & ROGUE start leaving]

THOR: (suggests) And coffee?

IRON MAN: (yells) Yeah! Do you have Wi-fi and coffee? Hey! Come back- we're not done with you! HEY!

[IRON MAN kicks the wall, then holds his foot in pain. The others slide to the floor]

HAWKEYE: What a load of as-

[BL.WIDOW hits him up the head]

HAWKEYE: OW! Would you, please, stop doing that! It's not funny!

BL.WIDOW: I think it is.

HAWKEYE: (mutters) You have some serious messed up humour.

CAP.AMERICA: Come on, guys we need to think of a way out of here.

BL.WIDOW: And how are we going to do that?

CAP.AMERICA: (stands in triumph) Because we are the Avengers.

BL.WIDOW: And I regret asking.

IRON MAN: No, seriously, Capicle, how are we going to get out here? They froze the lock and they took all our stuff- no tech, no arrows, no shield, no guns-

THOR: No coffee.

IRON MAN: No coffee...

[Everyone looks to Thor who is looking wishfully out the door]

CAP.AMERICA: Thor? Where's your hammer?

THOR: Hmm?

HAWKEYE: The hammer, dumbass- Where. Is. It?

[BL.WIDOW hits HAWKEYE up the head. Thor stands up and looks determinedly out the door, arm outstretched]

IRON MAN: Is it meant to take this long?

CAP.AMERICA: Shhhh.

IRON MAN: But-

CAP.AMERICA: Shhhhhhhhhh.

[Mjölnir bumps right of the door]

IRON MAN: Well that was a bit of a let down... I wonder what this glass is made of?

[BL.WIDOW hits IRON MAN up the head, HAWKEYE laughs. THOR falls to the ground and starts crying, CAP.AMERICA goes to comfort him]

CAP.AMERICA: Hey, there, there- we're going to be alright.

THOR: (sob) But (sob) I (sob) just (sob) want (sob) COFFEEandMJÖLNIRandJANE! (sob)

IRON MAN: Okayyyyyy... I kinda wish the Hulk was here, he could just-

[HAWKEYE hits IRON MAN over the head and goes to comfort BL.WIDOW]

IRON MAN: (whispers) Ow!
