LOTM: Silence Reigns S3 P16/Transcript

(Some of the Defenders are seen in the living room as Alex and Jessica sit on the couch holding hands)

Alex: Jeez, it's getting cold in here.

Jessica: Really?

Alex: Yeah.

Sammy: I don't feel anything.

Erin: Hey, don't look at me.

Shoto: Not me either.

Alex: Well, it's getting warmer now.

Omega: Huh?

Jessica: How so?

Alex: Hm, it must be...

(Alex turns his head to Jessica and smiles)

Alex: My burning love for you.

Jessica: Awww, Alex.

Erin: Well that was lame.

Jack: Booooooo!

Alex: Hey it was all I could think of! I'm not used to relationships like you two are.

Erin: Bro we can do WAY better than that.

Alex: Huh?

Omega: PLEASE don't demonstrate.

Charlie: I really don't wanna hear that.

Erin: Well, I don't wanna be the one to scar the kids in the room.

Jack: Me neither.

(Jack and Erin laugh)

Alex: Hey, where's everyone at?

Jiro: Huh?

Alex: It just feels empty in here.

Jessica: Well, Miles texted me and said they were on their way and Izuku and a few others went out.

Alex: For what?

Jessica: Night on the town or something.

Alex: Ah.

(Miles and his patrol then head in through the door before they all sit down in the living room)

Jack: Yo.

Miles: Hey.

Uraraka: What's everyone doing?

Jack: Talking about how Alex sucks at flirting.

Alex: JACK!!

Ian: That's mean.

Erin: Come on Jack, leave Alex alone.

Jack: I was just joking!

Miles: Is that all?

Jessica: We were also talking about where everyone is right now.

Miles: Oh yeah. *Looks around* Man this place is looking kinda empty.

Alex: They all went out for awhile.

Miles: Ah.

Kiro: How was the patrol?

Uraraka: It was...

(Richie suddenly leaves the room)

Zulu: Richie! …..

Charlie: What's wrong with Richie?

Miles: We uhhhh....found someone.

Alex: Who?

Miles: Zane Irens. He attacked us on our patrol path when he tried robbing an ATM.

Zulu: He had a Spirit that could stop time.

Scott: A Spirit?

Miles: Yeah. But that....wasn't all we found.

Uraraka: He mentioned something about a party he was at back in Mexico.

Alex: And?

Zulu: He said that during that same night....He ran someone over by accident.

Erin: Ran over someone?

Omega: That does sounds bad but it was an accident.

Momo: Except that person... Was Richie's father.

Jessica: *Gasps* His father??

Alex: Are you sure?

Miles: There's no doubt about it. The timing and place just lines up too well.

Momo: Plus, he said he was blind drunk that night.

Erin: Oh man... Poor Richie.

Omega: Yeah. No wonder he's so upset.

Uraraka: At least we know what Zane looks like. So the police can help us find him.

Scott: But still, a Spirit that can control time? That can't be good.

Alex: He's not the only person around town that can stop time that's for sure.

Jack: You got that right Alex!

Erin: Let's just hope Deku and the others are okay tonight.

Alex: Yeah. Wonder what they're up to.

(Meanwhile, several of Defenders are seen wondering the streets)

Mina: All right guys! Its night time so you wanna do?

Craig: Not sure to be honest. I've never been around the city that much, all I know is New Haven.

Izuku: Uhh you sure Jack's alright with you being out this late Craig?

Craig: Why would he care? We're Shadows, doing things in the night is our thing man!

Izuku: If you're sure.

Craig: Trust me, I can defend myself.

Mina: Can you though?

(Craig's hand glows purple)

Craig: You want me to prove it?

Mina: No no, I was just wondering!

Craig: That's what I thought.

Denki: Jeez Craig, so hostile.

Craig: It was just a joke!

Bakugo: I think I'm starting to warm up to these Shadows!

Craig: At least someone respects my work.

Denki: Craig you're getting respect from the wrong person.

Bakugo: THE HELL DID YOU SAY?!

Denki: Nothing!

Bakugo: Yeah that's what I-

Izuku: Hey guys...?

Fumikage: Hm?

Izuku: What's going on over there?

(Izuku points across the street as two Marked Ones are seen in the alleyway with a third figure shrouded in darkness standing between them as they all look down at a woman on the ground.)

Craig: Hide.

(The heroes all scatter and hide around as they listen to the conversation)

???: I know it shouldn't come to this, but you know how things are when someone finds something they shouldn't have.

Woman: Sir please! Please I didn't-

???: I know you didn't. But still, you saw it and now you have to pay for what you did.

Woman: Please, I won't tell a soul! I just want to go home!

???: I want to believe that. I really really do. But...

Marked One #1: That's what they all say.

Marked One #2: Yeah!

???: Quiet. Now then...

(The man begins to glow purple as another figure emerges from his body)

???: Let's get this done.

Woman: No! NO!!

(The figure acts like it's pushing a button, causing a clicking sound to ring out before the woman explodes, leaving nothing behind. The figure then vanishes)

Marked One #1: Nice one boss.

???: Don't mention it. At least now our operation can go on without fail.

(The defenders are all seeing this)

Mina: That... That woman just...

Craig: Did she just blow up?

Marked One #2: Well we should get going. Stone's probably waiting for us.

(The three walk out of the alleyway, revealing the man in the middle to be Yoshikage Kira)

Kira: Alert him right away that we're returning home.

Marked One #1: Got it.

Mina: *Gasp* … Yo...Yoshikage Kira??

Tenya: He just...

Jiro: That... That....

Izuku: It can't be....Not him.

Mineta: I knew something was off about him!

(The three continue walking down the street)

Tsuyu: Should we do something?

Tenya: We should....But....

(The three then turn the corner as the heroes leave their hiding spots)

Craig: We gotta stop him! Come on!

(Craig starts to run ahead before he realizes the others aren't following)

Craig: Hey, come on guys! What're you waiting for?
