SCENE 1
(inside the house)
(Laura was opening her eyes)
(she got up)
(she looked around)
(Randy was sitting next to her)
Randy (serious): how are you feeling?
(Laura was a little disoriented)
(she covered her face with her hand)
Laura (tired): what happened?
Randy: you started bleeding so hard then you passed out...
(she turned to him)
Randy: you fell off the roof...
(Laura turned to him)
Laura: roof?
Randy: what were you doing on the roof?
(Laura looked down, trying to remember the last thing that happened)
Laura (confused): I don't... remember...
(Randy got up and headed outside)
Randy: well... I'm OK to see you are OK...
(he was ready to open the door to leave)
(Laura felt something then she looked at him with sharp and frowning eyes)
(Randy opened the door)
(Suddenly He found claws on the door to shut it again)
(the other hand pushed Randy to the door)
(Randy was scared)
(he moved his eyes only)
Randy (calmly): Laura... What is it?
(Laura had an angry face)
Laura: you are not Randy...
Randy: what are you talking about, Laura.... It's me...
Laura: you got 3 seconds to tell me who the hack are you?
Randy: it must be the fall...
Laura: wrong answer...
(they paused)
(Laura hit the door again with her claws)
(Randy screamed)
Laura (shouting): Tell me who are you?
(Randy's eyes turned yellow and he smiled)
Randy (smirked) : was it something I said?
Laura (angry eyes): what did you do to him?
(but he didn't speak)
Laura: this is going to hurt...
(Laura was ready to stab his head)
(but before her claws touched his head, a hand of three claws stopped her claws)
(she was shocked)
(Randy suddenly turned to her with an evil smile then he kicked her in her stomach)
(she fell on the ground. When she looked at Randy, she found that he had claws too, but three claws on each hand)
Laura: how could this be?
Male sound: true... Because he is NOT your friend Randy
(she turned behind her, she found Charles Xavier)
(he was bold and young at age. He looked exactly as the Charles that we all know except for the wheelchair)
Laura: what?
(she turned to Randy)
(Randy shapeshifted into a tall bulky blue man with red hair and three claws on each hand)
(Laura was shocked)
Laura (confused): what kind of mind game is this?
Charles (wide soft smile) : it's not a game, Laura
(she turned to him)
Charles: this is Raze
(he pointed at the blue man)
(she looked at the blue man)
Charles: he is the son of Mistque and... Logan...
(she turned to Charles)
Charles: this might explain his ability to shapeshift just like his mother...
(Laura kept staring at Raze for a while)
(surprisingly, Raze carried his father's features. The strong body, the rugged face and his sharp eyes except that they were yellow)
Charles (kept his smile): He is your brother...
Laura (whispering) : brother?
(she looked down then she looked at Charles)
Laura: you died...
(Charles came closer)
(but she showed him her claws)
(he stopped walking)
Charles: that was my father...
Laura: so it was you...
(Charles was quiet)
Laura: you were inside my head... You gave me those nightmares...
Charles: sorry if that caused you troubles.. But that wasn't my purpose...
Laura (shouting with anger) : what is it then?
(he took a deep breath then he walked around)
Charles: my father was a great man, Laura... He managed to bring the mutants together under his wings....He wanted to build a mutant empire.... A powerful one... Having strong mutants by his side.... Helping him.... Fighting.... Winning
Laura: that's barely what your father was doing...
(he stopped and looked at her)
Laura: You made him sound like an obsessed tyrant....
(he smirked)
Charles: you didn't know my father well..
Laura: on the contrary...
(he stared)
Laura: my father and I had spend enough time with him to know that that weren't his targets
Charles (smiling) : then you know how powerful he was...
(Laura paused)
Charles: I'm after the same thing, Laura...
(he looked around and started walking again)
Charles: but he failed in achieving one important matter.... more than 20 years had passed and the mutants are the same...
(Laura looked like she was thinking)
Charles: Feared... Killed...
(he paused and came near Laura)
Charles: tortured
(Laura was sad)
Charles: nothing has changed....
(he paused)
Charles: a total of more than 100 years... Living in the shadow... Lost... Pained...worried for our beloved families.... When the worst happened and we did lose them...
(Laura quickly turned to him)
(Charles stopped walking)
(Charles was already close to Laura)
Charles (softly yet determined) : I'm planing to change all of that... That's why I need you...to join me...
(she looked at him)
Charles: your presence.... will save your friends
(Laura was shocked)
(suddenly Randy broke into the room)
(Laura looked at him)
(no one was in the room. Laura was standing alone)
Randy: Rachel and Nora are gone...
(Laura was shocked)
Randy: it was William...
(she frowned)
