《Wonderland: Origin Arc [Script]》1.18 - The Next Target
Advertisement
[Leigh, Chelsea, Liv and Gary have sat themselves at a table and are looking at the picture of the screen saver, while Vince is sat across the room and texting people. The group are all analysing the photo and keeping focus. Liv has been bandaged up, holding her own neck still. Chelsea pulls away from the photo, staring back worried.]
Chelsea: That… seems slightly dangerous.
Leigh: Yeah, just a bit.
[Liv points at Evan and Benny in the photo.]
Liv: And there’s the two boys from yesterday.
[Leigh points at Goldberg.]
Leigh: Yep. And there’s Goldberg. Meaning-
Chelsea: He knew the boys. So he probably knew the Rabbit.
Gary: [surprised] Oh, so we’re actually calling him a Rabbit now, are we?
Leigh: If he wants to wear the mask…
Gary: [surprised] Yeah, but it’s not exactly the most threatening name he could have.
Leigh: We’re really gonna have a problem with the name? He’s tried to kill us, already possibly killed two people and we’re gonna be like “yeah, but that name’s a bit crappy.”
Gary: Yeah, pretty much.
[Leigh’s about to retort, but is interrupted by Chelsea sighing.]
Chelsea: Can you two please not start an argument over this?
[Cheshire jumps onto the table, making Leigh drop the phone by accident.]
Leigh: [agreeing] Okay.
Gary: [agreeing] Alright, I was winning anyway.
[Leigh looks at Gary from the side, as Chelsea takes the phone. Liv starts to pet Cheshire.]
Chelsea: So… think this is a team then?
Leigh: Considering how much this feels like a comic book to me, I think this is some sorta… um…
[Leigh sits up, looking at Vince.]
Leigh: [loud] Hey Vince?
[Vince looks up from his phone.]
Vince: [loud] Yeah?
Leigh: [loud] Who were the bad guys in the X-Men series?

Vince: [loud] Gotta be more specific with me.
Leigh: [loud] Um… the group that Magneto is in charge of.
Vince: [loud] Okay, um, Brotherhood of Mutants, I think.
Leigh: [loud] Thank you.
[Leigh sits back down, Vince giving a thumbs up and going back to his phone.]
Gary: So we’re fighting a what? A Brotherhood of Furries?
[Vince chuckles from across the room, starting to head over to the table.]
Leigh: I don’t think it’s that, but it is definitely a team.
Chelsea: This might not even be the whole team, it could have other members and this is like… um…
Vince: [curious] West Coast Avengers?
Chelsea: Sure.
Gary: [surprised] Are you some sorta fucking walking Encyclopedia?
Vince: Kinda. Better with Marvel.
Leigh: [forceful] Anyway, shall we focus?
[Vince moves past the group, heading in the direction that Sissel went.]
Leigh: We got a group of people here that are either A.) Trying to kill us or B.) Have killed Tracey.
[Leigh sighs, Chelsea giving the phone back to Leigh and pocketing it.]
Leigh: [worried] So… now what?
[Cuts to Sissel and Goldberg, Sissel holding the gun in a corner while Goldberg has attempted to block the entrance with tables and chairs. He eventually finishes, taking a rest on the floor.]
Goldberg: [tired] Okay. That won’t be enough, but it’ll slow him down.
Sissel: [worried] Okay…
Goldberg: [tired] When he attacks me, you shoot then run. That’s it. Okay?
[Sissel nods.]
Sissel: [worried] Um… so what is it that you can do?
[Goldberg looks at him, thinking.]
Goldberg: [tired] Well I’m gonna try and stop him, talk him out of whatever he’s doing.
Sissel: I mean your power? You… erased a bullet.
Goldberg: [tired] Oh yeah… Um… I never actually gave it a name. It’s just… magic, I guess.

[Sissel nods, slowly.]
Sissel: Could you make him disappear?
Goldberg: [tired] I’m good, but I’m not that good. Sorry.
[Sissel nods again.]
Goldberg: [tired] Um… so your friends have powers.
Sissel: Yep…
Goldberg: [tired] Want some advice?
[Sissel looks at Goldberg.]
Goldberg: [tired] Hide yourselves. All of you.
Sissel: What, why?
Goldberg: [tired] When I was in a group, the powers caused us nothing but trouble. I don’t want that to happen to others too.
[Sissel scoffs.]
Sissel: For a man in a hit and run, you’re awfully caring of other people.
Goldberg: [tired] Yeah, well… bit of a shit time recently.
[Sissel is about to speak again when the door starts to shake violently. Goldberg gets to his feet, motioning Sissel to stay down. He moves towards the door slowly. He puts his hand on the handle while staying out of sight of the window and holds it, the door still shaking more. Sissel points the gun at the door, staying equally out of sight. They stay quiet for a few seconds.]
Vince: Cecil, are you in there? I texted your mum, I was gonna give you a lift home.
[Goldberg and Sissel sigh in relief. Just as Sissel starts to get up, behind him in the window stands the White Rabbit behind him. He is only visible in the reflection while he has no physical body. Goldberg turns and sees this, quickly grabbing Sissel and pulling him back out the way while Vince is able to look in.]
Goldberg: [panicked] Move!
[The White Rabbit quickly appears in the reflective form, fading into the normal body. He attempts to grab Sissel but they’re pulled away too quickly. Vince is visibly panicked.]
Vince: [panicked] Oh crap.
