LOTM: String Theory S4 P4/Transcript

(Zulu is seen sitting in his room as he reads a book. A knock is then heard at the door)

Zulu: Come in.

(Uraraka enters Zulu's room and closes the door)

Uraraka: Hey.

Zulu: What's up?

Uraraka: Miles wanted me to come get you.

Zulu: For what?

Uraraka: Me and him wanted to know if you wanted to go on patrol with us.

Zulu: You mean like out in the city?

Uraraka: Yeah!

Zulu: Why me though?

Uraraka: He thinks this'll be a chance to see how well you can swing in an urban environment.

Zulu: Hmm.... That could be a good chance for me to REALLY be part of this group. Okay sure!

Uraraka: Great! I'll go tell Miles. You get ready.

(Uraraka leaves)

Zulu: Oh man... Going on patrol. This is gonna be great!

(Zulu stands before he's met with another migraine, causing his vision to blur before returning to normal as he sits up)

Zulu: No, not gonna let that stop me. Let's go Zulu.

(Zulu walks out of his room where he is met by Miles and Uraraka)

Miles: Hey man what's up?

Zulu: Nothing bro! Come on let's go! *Rushes outside*

Miles: Hey slow down! *Follows after him*

Uraraka: Guys wait for me! *Follows after them*

(As the three leave Jack and Erin see them leave)

Erin: Look at them go.

Jack: I'd rather look at you.

Erin: Oh you. But since we're alone how about-

(Erin then hears a door open. She looks and sees Scott stepping out)

Erin: Scott??

Scott:...Hey....

Alex: How are you feeling man?

Scott: Good I guess...

Mina: You sure?

Scott: Yeah yeah...Just...thinking is all.

Momo: You sure?

Scott: Yes, I'm fine.

Erin: Well... Since you're out, do you think you're okay to talk to for a minute?

Scott: …

Alex: If you don't want to talk right now, we understand.

Scott:.... Why?

Alex: Well, you got a lot on your mind right now.

Jack: If you wanna say something you can.

Scott:... WHy do any of you even care?

Erin: What do you mean?

Scott: You guys know the things I did right? I killed my mother and my brother in cold blood. Leo was a jerk at times but he still cared about me. He was a member of your team. So why do you even care about a monster like me?

Alex: Because we know that wasn't you.

Jack: It was the Puppets controlling you.

Scott: But still...After all that?

Erin: Scott. You remember Mr. Martin? He killed Peter while under the control of the Puppets. Peter was our friend for a long time. But we still saved him.

Alex: So of course we are gonna do the same for you. If there was hope for Martin, there's still hope for you.

Scott: Not mentally. This is something that won't be going away for awhile.

Alex: It will man. It will.

Scott: I hope you're right.

(Scott slumps down onto the couch)

Charlie: Hey, where's dad at?

Erin: I thought him and Mina went outside by the lake.

Alex: I haven't seen Pearl or Foxtrot either.

Jack: Probably with them.

Charlie: That's what I get for sleeping in.

(Charlie gets up and heads to the door)

Charlie: I'll head out to see them.

Alex: Alright.

(Charlie heads outside and looks around)

Charlie: Hello?

(Charlie walks down toward the lake, finding no one)

Charlie: Huh, strange.

(Charlie turns to leave before he hears something moving in the water as he goes over to look.)

Charlie: What the-!

(A tendril bursts from the water and pulls Charlie into the water. He then pops back out gasping for air)

Charlie: THE HELL?!

Pearl: Haha! Got him!

Charlie: Pearl, you jerk!

(Foxtrot pops his head out of the water)

Foxtrot: Nice one.

Charlie: Wait, where's dad and Mina?

(Charlie notices something in the water as he swims back. Omega jumps from the water and attaches to Charlie's face, gaining control of his body)

Omega: Surprise attack!

Charlie: Why can't I move?!

(Charlie manages to work up some strength and reaches up and tries to pull Omega from his face, eventually succeeding)

Omega: Aw man!

Charlie: Do NOT do that again!

(Mina is seen behind Charlie before she pushes him under)

Mina: Didn't say anything about that!

(Charlies rises back up as the group laughs. It then cuts to Miles, Uraraka and Zulu walking around the city)

Zulu: So, what are we supposed to do exactly?

Miles: Just keep watch on the city man. Walking around and stopping criminals is pretty much all we do.

Uraraka: I just hope this goes better than our last patrol.

Miles: Well I mean, our last a patrol was pretty "funny".

Uraraka: Don't you even start Miles.

Miles: I mean it sounded like you had a rather "comedic" ride.

Uraraka: MILES!

(Miles laughs)

Zulu: I don't undertstand.

Miles: I'll tell you later.

Uraraka: Like you got off scott-free from that.

Miles: I had to listen to you laughing for over an hour on the way home!

Uraraka: Exactly!

Zulu: I'm guessing it didn't go well on the last patrol huh?

Miles: No. No it didn't.

Zulu: Are you two the only ones on Patrol Duty?

Uraraka: For now.

Miles: We're thinking of expanding.

Zulu: Is that why I'm here?

Miles: Maybe.

Zulu: Awesome!

Uraraka: You just gotta prove yourself first.

Zulu: What? I thought I already did that yesterday.

Miles: Combat wise man. I wanna see how well you can web swing.

Zulu: For real?

Miles: Yeah, we both do.

Zulu: Well, where do I start?

(The scene cuts to the three atop a large building as Zulu looks over the edge)

Zulu: Are you being serious?

Miles: Yeah man!

Zulu: You want me to jump to my death?

Miles: We want you to swing man!

Uraraka: That's all Zulu.

Zulu: How am I supposed to swing from up here? It's like a thirty story drop!

Miles: Don't overthink it Zulu, it's all only a leap of faith.

Zulu: A leap of faith?

Miles: Yeah.
