Marvel Genesis: Luke Cage #3
INT. Genetics research lab
Just as Diamondback drops the knife, the Heroes for Hire shoot.
The knife hits the floor, but nothing happens.
DIAMONDBACK:
It was a fake. I was wondering if you were stupid enough to try and stop me.
CARL:
We’re not trying to stop you. We are beating you!
MICHAEL:
Heroes for Hire, attack!
Diamondback pulls out several knives as the Heroes for Hire start firing.
DIAMONDBACK:
You think those can hurt me? I was genetically changed. Now, bullets bounce off of me.
Diamondback turns around and stabs Carl in the shoulder
DIAMONDBACK:
Your bayonets have no affect either!
MICHAEL:
Bob, Becky, Alex, John, Plan G-7.
The other Heroes for Hires members run off, while Michael, Carl, and John Tillenger continue to fight Diamondback
DIAMONDBACK:
You honestly think one of your stupid plans can stop me?
Suddenly, a helicopter lands on the roof.
MICHAEL:
Come one, evacuate!
DIAMONDBACK:
My mission was to destroy any intruders. And I will.
He throws a knife at the helicopter, but it bounces back at him.
MICHAEL:
A magnetic force field. Some of the most advanced technology we have!
BOB:
Michael, the bomb is set!
MICHAEL:
Everyone, out of here!
The heroes for hire run to the helicopter while shooting at Diamondback. Most of them get into the helicopter before it takes off, but Bob Wager was climbing a ladder to get in it as it was taking off. Diamondback comes in and pulls him off.
DIAMONDBACK:
I will kill one of you!
And, the building explodes.
MICHAEL:
Bob! He helped form this group. We were the only two men originally.
CARL:
Michael, I feel for your pain. But, he’s a hero. We might all be dead if it wasn’t for him.
MICHAEL:
No, we should of went back and helped him.
CARL:
Hey, we might of just won the war for the U.S. with taking the genetics lab out of play.
MICHAEL:
After we get paid, I’m disbanding the Heroes for Hire.
EVERYONE (Accept Michael):
What!?!
MICHAEL:
After Bob died, I’m not sure I can go on. I’m disbanding the Heroes for Hire after we get paid.
EVERYONE (Accept Michael):
Yes.
EXT. General Lee’s office
GENERAL LEE:
Here’s your money. I’m sorry about Bob. I will put together a memorial service for him. Can I hire you guys for another mission?
MICHEAL:
No. We are disbanding.
GENERAL LEE:
Okay. I’ll send a little extra to your homes for a job well done.
EXT. bus station
CARL:
So, that’s it? We’re done.
BECKY WALLER:
I guess so.
CARL:
Will we ever see each other again?
MICHAEL:
Oh, I have a feeling we will. Like any good war story, we will unite again in 40 years to face an old enemy.
CARL:
Well so long.
CARL (narrating):
I never thought I would see them again. But, I was way off. Had I not met them, my life wouldn’t be the way it is now.
