Teen Storm walks in all confident:
"Yo, sorry I'm late, Uncle Calv—"
TV News:
"A NEW HERO HAS RISEN! Will he be the God of Legend or just a one-time shooting star? Let's ask the witnesses!"
Reporter: "Ma'am, who saved you?"
Woman: "He called himself… Storm. The Next Legend."
Reporter: "And how was he in action?"
Woman: "Bro — he was MOVING. Man was faster than my ex when he hears the word 'responsibility.' Leaving lightning marks everywhere like he tagging the city."
Reporter: "Well folks, that's—"
Mentor pauses the TV so hard the remote almost died.
Mentor: "So are you crazy… or just stupid?"
Teen Storm: "Uh… are there, like, other options? Maybe I'm gifted? Chosen? Sex—"
Mentor: "You could've DIED out there, you electric dumbass!"
Teen Storm: "Relax, I'm fine. See? Alive. Sexy. Breathing."
The Mentor storms up to him, grabs Storm's chin, tilts his head…
Mentor: "Damn… cool bruise though. Looks like Zeus high-fived your face."
Teen Storm: "OH— you noticed?"
He touches it proudly.
"Yeah I think I'm him for real."
Mentor: "You are NOT supposed to have iconic battle scars THIS EARLY."
Teen Storm: "Okay okay… I'll make it up to you. Lemme take you out for food. My treat."
Mentor: "…I do like eating."
Just as they're walking out, the Mentor's phone rings.
He steps aside.
Mentor: "Yo?"
Random Goon: "Boss says it's GO TIME. Kill. The. Boy."
Mentor: "Aight, I'll do it when I find an opening."
Random Goon: "Either he dies or YOU do. Clock's ticking."
Mentor: "I KNOW, dumbass. I've been working for that jackass longer than you've been alive."
He hangs up.
Teen Storm: "Who was that?"
Mentor: "Ah… nobody. Some boring work bullshit. Let's go."
Teen Storm: "You driving?"
Mentor: "Drive? Boy we literally run at Mach 2. Move your legs."
Screen fades to black.
Restaurant Scene
The screen fades back in on them at a restaurant.
Mentor (BURPING like a wild animal):
"Ohhh damn… you outdid yourself, kiddo."
Teen Storm:
"Bro… NOW I know why you never get invited anywhere.
You eat like a blender with no lid."
Mentor: "What was that?"
Teen Storm: "NOTHING! So uh… the night's young, there's an amusement park nearby. Let's go live a little."
Mentor: "I got work stuff… I should go—"
Teen Storm:
"Come on man. LIGHTN' up. It's on me, gang."
Mentor sighs dramatically:
"…Fine. But only for a bit."

Mentor: "Hello?"
Mysterious Man (The Boss):
"…Is it done?"
Mentor: "Couldn't find an opening. Maybe tomorrow."
Mysterious Man:
"This is your LAST chance.
Tomorrow.
Or YOU die."
Mentor: "Come on, man… he's just a kid. This ain't right—"
The Boss hangs up cold.
Mentor: "Fuck…"
Storm walks over, smiling like an idiot.
Teen Storm: "Damn bro, you scared me. Thought you had a seizure."
Mentor: "Nah… just— life."
Teen Storm: "You stressing too much. C'mon, let's hit the beach before we dip."
Beach Scene
They walk to the beach and stare at the stars.
Teen Storm: "Hey mentor… thanks."
Mentor: "For what?"
Teen Storm: "For the greatest night of my life."
Mentor: "It was fun today, wasn't it?"
Teen Storm: "Gotta go. Catch you tomorrow for training."
Mentor: "Alright kiddo. Rest up — tomorrow is a special day."
Storm walks away. The moment he's gone, the Mentor calls the Boss.
Mentor: "Hey. I got a plan on how to kill the kid."
Mysterious Man: "Good. This plan better work."
