(Cuts to a view of the city)

(Cuts to a young male, Ryder Hawk, walking and stopping on the block as he looks at a building across the street; across from the street, it is the Johnson Jewelers; he smirks seriously and walks across the street to the store)

• Ext. Johnson Jewelers

(Cuts to the view of the store as Ryder is heading inside)

• Int. Lobby

(Cuts inside the bank as the song “Spoilin’ for a Fight” by AC/DC is playing in the background; to the lobby as we see a normal day of in the store; we then see Ryder entering the place)

Ryder: (Seeing the security guard near the back as he is holding his gun; Ryder notices and all thinking this through; he goes forward; he suddenly yells) This is a hold up!

(The jeweler, his four innocent shoppers, and the security guard all notices the young man’s threat and suddenly freaks out as then the guard approaches Ryder)

Guard: Stay calm kid!

Ryder: No, this place knows something

(The song continues as the camera pan around the scared customers wondering what was he thinking about)

Guard: I don’t know where your head is at kid, but this is a jewelry store.

Ryder: (Determined) This place has something that I want! I want it now! Where is it!

Guard: Listen kid, let’s talk about it…

(As the guard is about to put his hand around him, Ryder maneuvers his arms as its about to clap and the camera slows down as his hands are about to clap and when it does the camera spins around as a aurora of energy force surrounds it and then the camera views back normally as he clap a huge invisible-like, sonic energy wave that knocks the guard off his feet and throws him back to the back wall)

(Everyone screams and worries for guard’s health after they just witnessed that)

Ryder: (Still determined about something and maneuvers his arms again and clap another sonic energy wave so enormous that it shatter all the glasses from the viewing boxes to the vases to the cabinet glasses and including the glass door and windows)

(The camera views the damage Ryder just done)

Ryder: (Realizing this place doesn’t have what he wants, he sprints out of the store and heads off screen)

(The camera shifts back to the guard as he is still injured from Ryder’s first wave and as the camera pan around the destruction Ryder’s second caused, everyone including the jeweler and the injured guard are still stunned on what just happened)

(Cuts to the credits as the song “Spoilin’ for a Fight” ends)

OPENING CREDITS'

[Act I]

• Ext. Johnson’s Jewelers

(Cuts to the jewelry store again an hour later as we see the aftermath of what just happened and now we see the Gotham police are surveying the crime scene; we then notices the injured guard being taken away by gurney to the ambulance truck; and then notice Det. Alder and another police officer discussing about the scene)

Det. Alder: What happened, Officer Kim?

Officer Kim: It’s been one crazy day from hurdling up some street thugs five blocks from here to showing up to this place at least the last minute.

Det. Alder: You saw or catch the perp?

Officer Kim: No, but he did damage in his wake.

Det. Alder: (Seeing the shattered glass and notice all the jewelry is still intact) Did he take anything?

Officer Kim: No, which was the second most shocking thing; he didn’t take any high-priced jewels; everything was accounted for.

Det. Alder: I thought this was a jewelry store and he made gold…

Officer Kim: Guess we can’t underestimate what a thug can do in this city.

Det. Alder: Well I want you and the other cops to continue the perimeter and search for any prints he may have left.

Officer Kim: I can say it’s not at all that easy.

Det. Alder: Did I say any of this stuff is easy.

(The officer smirks and walks back inside)

Det. Alder: (She then heads to one of the eyewitness who saw everything that happened an hour ago) Excuse me…

Witness: (A female, being afraid of what happened) Yes.

Det. Alder: Can you tell me what you saw?

Witness: (Still confused) I don’t remember his face, but he said this place had something he needed and then the guard try to stop him, but he did something strange with his hands and all of suddenly the guard was knock out and then all the glass was shattered.

Det. Alder: And what he did next?

Witness: He left.

Det. Alder: Without taking any jewelry.

Witness: Nothing.

Det. Alder: (Thinking about what is this thug thinking) Thank you for your time.

Witness: You welcome! (She heads out to another ambulance truck to see if she is okay)

(As we see Megan continuing to wonder what the thug’s motive, the camera shifts to Bruce arriving near the other bystanders wondering what just happened)

Bruce: (Seeing Det. Alder) Detective Alder!

Det. Alder: Bruce! (Heading towards the bystanders being guarded by other cops, and orders one to let Bruce in)

(Bruce heads in the scene, but not close)

Bruce: What is going on?

Det. Alder: I thought a jewelry theft, but all what you see is just broken glass.

Bruce: Broken glass. (Seeing everything that was covered in glass shattered) What could have done this?

Det. Alder: It wasn’t a what, it’s who.

Bruce: The supposed to be theft, was the one who did this.

Det. Alder: Yeah, according to eyewitness reports, the thug wanted something and then done something to his hands and shattered all glass right before knocking out the guard, whose in the ambulance truck, as I speak.

Bruce: And no jewelry was stolen?

Det. Alder: Everything was in its proper place.

Bruce: Weird.

Det. Alder: That’s what I said. (Thinking of why he’s here) Speaking of, why are you here, Mr. Wayne?

Bruce: I was here to buy a gift for someone.

Det. Alder: Really?! Why this place?

Bruce: My family always came to here, but when my dad tried to lease it into Wayne Industries PowerCorp took it away from him. But we still come.

Det. Alder: Ummm. So who is this girl?

Bruce: Gina…Gina Faust.

Det. Alder: Ms. Faust? She’s back?! I really want to speak to her because of something she did a year ago.

Bruce: Whatever she done detective, she changed. A lot.

Det. Alder: I hope so, because I want to see it myself.

Bruce: What you mean?

Det. Alder: I’ll be watching her and you, because Bruce sometimes you need to watch out for the person you love the most. (Seeing another officer requesting her, she says bye to Bruce) I have to go, but remember what I said, I’ll be watching her. (She heads to where the officer is)

Bruce: And you’re fixing lunch?

Bruce: Was that reporter named Dex Hampton?

(Bruce enters and wondering about something)

Bruce: Leo I need you!

Leo: You do.

Bruce: Yeah since you know people with phoenix-like abilities; can you tell me if you found someone who has the power to shatter glass by the clap of their hands)

Leo: (Intrigued about that power) Interesting. Let me check.

(He gets up and heads to his laptop checking on potential hits and he then notices an Gotham Times article about a family)

Leo: I got something.

Bruce: (Seeing the article as well)

Leo: It says the Gilbert family was your typical family, but on the day of the lab explosion it was the same area where the Gilberts was driving from their vacation. The car crashed the same time…as the police reports stated the mom and dad died from the crash only leaving two sons…the oldest Ryder and his little brother CJ.

Bruce: Little brother?! Go on…

Leo: (Reading the file) The report goes on by the same time the brothers was interacted with the particles from the Phoenix chemical and reports say that because of a glass window shattering in his hands, the chemical gave him the power to shatter glass by the force of his hands.

Bruce: Where are Ryder and CJ now?

Leo: Ryder and CJ was reported to go to shelter, but CJ was accepted by another shelter and Ryder left in the streets.

Bruce: Maybe because CJ was never in a shelter; he was somewhere he didn’t suppose to be in.

Leo: So you telling me that Ryder is the thug and that he is doing the crimes because he all he wanted was his brother.

Bruce: No his brother is the object he wanted all along, the thefts was just a way to smoke out the person who has him. Leo check all the places that was robbed and tell me who owns them.

(Leo checking them on it and sees something interesting)

Bruce: What?

Leo: PowerCorp.

Bruce: (Figuring is Victor he is after) I got to warn Jason and Victor.

Leo: Maybe, you might catch Ryder in the process because the only other community company that has been owned by PowerCorp is a hardware factory down by the fields.

Bruce: Alright… thanks! (Heading out)

• Ext. Rave

(Cuts to the view of Rave)

• Int. Bar

(Cuts inside to the bar as we see Julie drinking a soda water bottle and she then notices someone coming in)

Julie: Sorry we’re closed!

(Gina entering)

Julie: You?!

Gina: Just saying hi or welcome back, is a good way to see someone.

Julie: I’m sorry, but the person who lied to one of my best friends and used him doesn’t really need to have a good salutation.

Gina: Listen, Julie I didn’t want to have that kind of talk, so I’ll be going. (About to head out)

Julie: Why you came back?

Gina: (Stopped, listen to that remark and turns around) What?!

Julie: Like I said, why you came back?

Gina: I came back to be a whole new person. Forget the past and begin a new future.

Julie: (Hesitating to say it) You and your boyfriend…Bruce.

Gina: Yeah, Bruce wanted to keep us a secret, but I insist to tell him that he needs to tell everyone about us including you.

Julie: I doubt it.

Gina: (Can’t understand) What is your problem?

Julie: My problem is you!

Gina: Me.

Julie: Yeah you; me, Bruce, and Leo were all fine until you showed up. You came out of the blue and trick Bruce to fell in love with you.

Gina: O come on! I didn’t trick him nor force him…he admitted twice that he loved me. I was the one who was doubtful. I led a dark path and when I saw Bruce, he showed me a new way to come back to the light.

Julie: I don’t believe it.

Gina: Julie, you can believe it or not, but I would not hurt Bruce.

Julie: Hurt him you did. You crushed his heart the first, (heading to her face) and I will not let you do that again!

Gina: I don’t want to hurt him, but last time was well you already know that; this time will be different.

Julie: How so, huh? Out of other double agents you can used to kidnap his friends.

Gina: Julie, I didn’t know that would happen. Kippler was a maniac.

Julie: But you do know him, which makes you guiltier as he was. (Heading back to the bar)

Gina: At least I didn’t kill anyone that’s what I heard when he held at your will.

Julie: If you get your hearing straight, it was Victor Powers who saved me and shot Kippler; you know the same man you tried to hunt while you were dating my friend.

Gina: Ok sorry about that, so unless there’s nothing else I am going.

Julie: Nothing else…no witty comeback.

Gina: Julie, I just came here to say that if you’re okay of me and Bruce being with each other. If not, I have nothing to say.

Julie: (Thinking of something) Where’s your parents?

Gina: (Stopped again and turns around) What about my parents?

Julie: You didn’t mention anything about them since you was here.

Gina: I don’t want to.

Julie: Gina, I just want to know…

Gina: They were killed! Alright!

Julie: (Stunned)

Gina: (Getting pissed and decides to talk about it) My parents were both agents of Starlix; they were the top of their class. The Powers to Be didn’t want any of their agents to be together, but it didn’t stop them. They fell in love…

Julie: (Listening to what she is saying)

Gina: …and one day they had a daughter. The powers were furious that they did that and in fact they had a child, so they gave my parents a mission to get into a plane. That was like the last time anyone saw them alive; days after days…months after months, I felt alone, but to the powers they think the child of two special agents is a good thing. (Showing tears) And since then to now, I been with them hunting, spying, and I don’t know what else just to make them happy. I wasted all my childhood to serving them learning what it takes to be a Starlix agent.

Julie: (Seeing her so upset) Gina, I didn’t know!?

Gina: (Crying a bit) What about you Julie, where’s your parents?

Julie: (Feeling sorry of saying it but can’t deny by responding) My father is away on seas, and I have a mother who’s been out of my life since I was three. There I guess we both are happy.

Gina: (Seeing her) Julie…

Julie: That’s okay; you and Bruce had both of yours then both of you lost them. Did you ever told him about your parents?

Gina: No, I felt his loss was more moving then mines.

Julie: Gina….

Gina: No, it’s fine Julie. For the first time, I actually told someone who hasn’t work Starlix that how parents actually died.

Julie: What did you told them?

Gina: They kill themselves because working with Starlix is like losing your soul to the devil, but for me I’m trying not to do that. I already signed the contract doesn’t mean I’m losing mines; in fact, the only way not to lose mines is to escape and that’s what I been doing since I broken up with Bruce the first time. I left him only because I needed to escape…it’s the only way and the only way to save myself then wining up like.

Julie: Your parents.

Gina: Exactly. (Heading out)

Ryder: (Stunned and happy) CJ! Are you alright?!

CJ: (A little stunned) I’m alright.

Tadman: As he says he’s fine, now let Mr. Powers go.

Ryder: After you let my brothers go first.

Tadman: (Grabbing him by both arms) Let him go or I…!

Ryder: Let him go! Now! CJ…CJ...let him go, he’s only a kid.

Victor: He’s right Tadman, let the boy go.

Tadman: Not until he let you go, this project can still flourish.

(CJ getting afraid and seeing his brother worried about him, he musters up some strength and stomps on Tadman’s foot)

Tadman: (Hurting while letting CJ go)

Ryder: CJ! (Letting go of Victor; he heads to his brother)

(Victor got on to the ground, but notices he needs to get rid of the situation, he heads to where CJ is going)

(As CJ heads to the opposite side, Tadman tries to get him and out of nowhere Ryder jumps and takes Tadman down on the catwalk; CJ reaches to another spot to be in safety; and then we see Victor trying to grab CJ to either save him or harm him)

Victor: Come on CJ, come on! (Trying to show CJ the way to safety)

Ryder: (Seeing him thinking he is harming his brother) No! (Trying to maneuver his arms to hit a wave to stop Victor; as he tries to, Tadman grabs on his right arm)

(In a strange way, Ryder’s energy sonic wave lack focus and shakes the entire catwalk; everyone starts feeling the effects as the camera views the other side of the catwalk as the bolts are coming apart; Tadman tries to get away and then Ryder tries to tackle him down)

(Bruce showing up and seeing the chaos…but out of nowhere, the catwalk collapses splitting the side between Ryder and Tadman and then CJ and Victor; unfortunately, the side where Victor and CJ is on collapses and Victor is holding for dear life as CJ barely grips it and he falls)

Victor: (Trying to grab him but it was too late)

Ryder: (Seeing brother falling) No!!

(Bruce horrified trying to prevent him from splating on the ground)

(Shifts to CJ falling to the ground, and in a split second Bruce catch him just in the nick of time and they both roll to safety unscratched)

(Ryder seeing his brother is safe, he wants to hurry up to hug but he see Victor losing his grip and no one unable to get him in time, maneuver his arms again hitting Victor with a short blast that knocks him from .falling down to hit himself on a bunch of boxes)

(Tadman gets up and trying to escape, but Ryder again maneuver his arms in a clap and release a huge sonic blast that throws Tadman to the pile of crates)

(Bruce seeing Victor is out and won’t remember this, as he then helps CJ)

CJ: Thank you!

Bruce: No problem! Now, I guess someone else wants to thank me.

CJ: Who?

(Bruce pointing towards Ryder who is running towards them; CJ smiles ecstatically)

CJ: (Smiling) Ryder! (Running to him)

Ryder: CJ! (Smiling ecstatically as well)

(The brothers both rejoice in a hug and Bruce smiles at that seeing that family reunion)

Ryder: (Saying something to his brother quietly while both of them are still hugging) I’m here little bro and I won’t ever let you go promise.

CJ: (Responding) Promise.

(As they continue to hug each other, Ryder glances at Bruce and gives him a thumbs up signaling that he thank him for saving his brother)

Bruce: (Thumbs up as well)

(Cuts off from Bruce to Ryder and CJ, both rejoicing for being back with each other, are still hugging)

(Fades out)

Jason: So dad, whatever happen to the sweeter man that I saw three days ago?

Victor: I have no clue what are you talking about.

Jason: Well dad, I seen reports and something peculiar happened. A factory that PowerCorp owned just recently shut down today and I noticed that was something strange things going on there.

Victor: I don’t know where you get your source son, but I do know is that Dr. Tadman is in custody and has nothing to do with us. (He about heads to the door)

Jason: What about Project Vanish?

Victor: (Stopped) Just as the name says, it seems like it has been vanished out of nowhere. It’s only myth son, only myth. (Heading out feeling enthusiastic)

(Cuts off to Jason as the song “Broken” by Lighthouse starts to play in the background)

• Int. Leo’s Room

(Cuts to Leo’s room as we see Leo still looking on that bullet casing and he finally finds a clue…the letter)

Leo: (Seeing the letter clear enough and he notices the letter is “B”; complex about it and wonders if this B belong to the shooter’s identity or that B also stands for Bryant, the person who was shot)

(Heads to the table as we see Bruce and Gina still talking as the song continues)

Bruce: I’m sorry about last night, I had to do something.

Gina: I understand…me to.

Bruce: You? Where you went?

Gina: Just saying hello again to a friend. What about you?

Bruce: I had a family reunion to go to.

Gina: You did?!

Bruce: Yeah. (Pointing behind her)

(Gina looks behind as we see Ryder, his little brother, CJ, and Det. Alder talking and heading to the front)

Gina: I thought you don’t have siblings.

Bruce: No, just friends. I kind of persuaded Det. Alder to give Ryder a chance since he was only acting as a vigilante only because he just wanted to find his little bro.

Gina: What’s going to happen them?

Bruce: Det. Alder is going to bring them to a foster home.

Gina: What if they don’t see each other again.

Bruce: I have a funny feeling what happened yesterday will. Excuse me. (Heading to where the brothers are at)

(The song continues)

(Bruce heads out and then as Gina about to drink her coffee she sees Julie coming to her)

Julie: Hey!

Gina: (Not surprised) Well, look who want to say hello.

Julie: Listen Gina, I just wanted to say I’m sorry.

Gina: It’s okay…

Julie: No, please let me say it. I’m sorry for what I said anything mean about your parents.

Gina: You didn’t, I was kinda mean when I force you to say what happen to your mom. I didn’t mean like that.

Julie: Fine. I just get overprotected for girls who want to date my friend…he just been through enough for years and I just didn’t want him to be in pain again to have his heart totaled.

Gina: I’m not like that girl. And to feel kind of awkward I think you’re the only girl in his life that has protected him too much, that I don’t he notice.

Julie: I had been thinking that like ever, and finally it’s good to see another person knowing what I’m going through.

Gina: (Smiling)

Julie: (Smiling as well)

(As the song continues as its reaching to its end we see Bruce heading back to see the girls)

Bruce: (Shocked to see them talking nice; confused) Okay, what’s going on?

Julie: (Trying to say something)

Gina: (Finally answers) We just had a normal girl talk.

(Gina looking at Julie and Julie doing vice versa)

Julie: Yeah, just a girl talk; nothing to shame about. (Heading out not to ignore their bonding) I have to go, sorry.

Bruce: (Feeling sorry for what he done) Julie listen, I was just…

Julie: No, I’ll be okay you two just do what you do best.

(She leaving as we see Gina noticing what just happened)

(She heads back as Bruce trying to forgive but instead sit back down next to Gina as they continue to talk)

(As the song reaching to the very end, we see Julie heading to the back and as she turns around she sees them talking)

(The camera shifts back to Bruce and Gina talking, smiling, and we see them holding hands on the table)

(Julie takes out her phone and notices the pic of her and Bruce kissing; she looks at it and we see a tear coming down her face)
