CHAPTER 9
EXT. BLAKE CITY ROOFTOP - NIGHT A rooftop of a lone, abandoned building in Blake City, attached to the side looking over the street is a billboard for "Jade Brew," it features a drawing of a girl dressed in green shorts, a green shirt that shows off a bit of her stomach, and green knee-high boots. She has two mugs in each hand, overflowing with a green beer. On the ledge next to the billboard a four-leaf clover-shaped grapple grips on, soon after Moira climbs over dressed as the girl on the billboard. She sits on the ledge looking down to the street, few cars are out. The occasional vehicle honks at the billboard. Moira stands and walks across the thin ledge. Looking down at the cars while walking instead of straight ahead, she isn't scared. Suddenly a figure dressed similar to Renegade, but white instead of black appears behind her and grabs her shoulder. She leaps away in fright, falling off of the ledge onto the rooftop. The man in white jumps down, his face is now visible and he raises his goggles. It's Wayne. He laughs. WAYNE I thought you had luck on your side. Why did you fall? MOIRA Well I didn't fall off the other end, luck enough. Why are you dressed like that? WAYNE He dresses in black and hides in the shadows. If I'm moving fast enough I should blend in with the sterile white hallways. The hall lights are on all night. Moira runs her hand up the sleeve. MOIRA I like it. Shouldn't you be at the asylum? Wayne grins. WAYNE I wanted to show off the new threads. MOIRA No, you wanted to check up on me. WAYNE Ya saw right through me! MOIRA When are you going to stop treating me like a sidekick? WAYNE When you stop wearing sidekick shorts. Moira glares at Wayne WAYNE Moira, I'm kidding, come here. Wayne holds his arms out. Moira leans in and he gives her a hug. MOIRA How's your chest? WAYNE A little sore. But I'll be fine. I'm going to go now, good luck tonight. If you need help Gore The Red is back in town. MOIRA Alright. Thanks. Bye Wayne. WAYNE We'll talk more about this sidekick thing tomorrow, alright? MOIRA OK. Wayne vanishes. Moira is still in a hugging stance when he leaves, she stumbles forward and catches herself. She looks at the ledge, takes a few steps back and runs for the ledge, she leaps when she gets to it and lands on it perfectly with her arms spread out, looking down on the city. Moira then leans forward and falls off. Her eyes close as she drops and the wind blows against her face. Nearing the bottom, she pulls out her grapple, latches onto the side of the building and lowers herself safely. EXT. BLAKE CITY STREETS, SIDEWALK - NIGHT Three men on the sidewalk are walking together when they spot Moira. Their faces light up. MAN #1 It's Jade! MAN #2 Can we get a picture? MOIRA Sure! One of the men pulls out his cell phone and each guy takes an individual with Moira smiling. MAN #2 Hey, thanks a lot. MOIRA Have a good night. The men walk away, Moira rolls her eyes. |

Nah, it was a very good piece. I'm impressed, and I like the idea of Wayne having different costumes to suit the environment. Reminds me of Nite Owl II.

I like the whole Superheroes as celebs bit. Makes me think people are gonna turn on them though. That always happens right after people start trusting their superheroes.
