The scene fades into an upmarket condo. We see Justin Jehst sitting comfortably on a recliner, mimosa in hand. He sips his beverage while he sits watching this weeks Turmoil on his wall mounted flat screen.
He leans back and adjusts his position slightly before his phone begins to vibrate on the coffee table in front of him.
Jehst: Elsa! How’s my favourite, agent?
The screen splits into two, showing Justin on one side of the screen, Elsa on the other.
Elsa: Hello, Mr. Justin. I have some good news for you - - -
Jehst: - - - fire away! - - -
Elsa: - - - you’ve been asked to do a table reading for a new Marvel film.
Justin leans forward, eyes widening.
Jehst: That’s amazing; which one?!
Elsa: It is a Moon Knight film, Mr. Justin.
Jehst: AMAZING! Who else is reading?!
Elsa: I do not have the list of the peoples, Mr. Justin, but I send you the details, ok?
Justin stands up quickly, excited by the news.
Jehst: Is there going to be a chance for me to showcase my Ka-Ra-Tay skills for the director?
Elsa: I am not knowing this, Mr. Justin.
Justin swings his knee up and around, extending out into a roundhouse kick. His vigorous movement in his unfocused state allows him to strike a nearby vase housing a bunch of flowers and water, splintering the ceramic casing and causing the mess to fall swiftly to the floor.
Jehst: Oh PISS!!!
Elsa: I’m sorry, they don’t tell me this information!!
Jehst: No, that wasn’t aimed at you, sorry, I just - - anyway, I wanted to ask you something before you go.
Elsa: Yes, Mr. Justin?
Jehst: Will I get to use any Ground Ka-Ra-Tay?!
Elsa’s face turns sour.
Elsa: I’m going now, Mr. Justin. I will email you details for reading.
Jehst: No, wait! I have a real question for you!
Her sour frown begins to unfurl.
Jehst: I remember you saying once that I need to win more matches, then maybe you’d consider joining me for a mimosa or two…
Elsa: I did say this thing, yes.
She blushes slightly.
Jehst: Well, I beat one half of the Tag Team Champions last week on Turmoil, so I’d say that’s a pretty huge win; wouldn’t you?!
Elsa: Very impressive, yes.
Jehst: So in saying that, I think you should join me next week for a mimosa and a fireside chat. Whadd’ya say, Elsa?
She begins twirling her hair in her fingers and smiling before she playfully retorts.
Elsa: I think I can do this, only this once though, ok?
Jehst: Once is all I need, Elsa.
A doorbell rings in the background.
Jehst: I gotta go, my dinner’s here, but I’ll see you next week, ok?
Elsa: Ok, just don’t be late to reading!
Jehst: I won’t. Bye, Elsa.
Elsa: Goodbye, Mr. Justin.
As he presses the red button on his phone to disconnect the call he hangs for a moment, proud of his flirting effort. He hears the doorbell ring again, snapping him out of his daydream.
Delivery Guy: Anyone there?!
Justin shakes his head as he comes back to reality and bounds over to the door as the scene fades out.
Riley Quinn vs Ace
Previously Recorded…
The scene opens in the Brooklyn Hospital Center. Valkyrie is now cleared to compete once again, but has decided to pay a visit to her doctor, to thank him for his work
Doc: You are looking good, Sarah. I’ve been tracking your progress with the rest of our staff and I must admit, I’m quite surprised to see you back on your feet already.
Valkyrie: I just wanted to thank you for everything.
Doc: You don’t have to thank me. Your recovery was sponsored by a very… generous person.
Valkyrie looks at him with a puzzled expression
Doc: But I’m afraid I can’t say anything else for now. It’s confidential, you see.
Valkyrie nods and starts to walk away, down the hallway. Most of the doors are open and she’s able to glance at the patients inside: her attention is caught by one of them, who stood out from the rest for one very specific detail…
...he was naked.
Valkyrie approached his room, making sure no nurse was watching. Then she got inside and locked the door behind her
Valkyrie: Bingo!
B-17 is laying in bed, apparently sleeping. The heart monitor is beeping slowly but steadily. Valkyrie takes a few steps into the room and she was now at his bedside, trying really hard to not take her eyes off his face
Valkyrie: What did he do to you? That bastard!
Valkyrie grabs his hand, as B-17 still looks unconscious
Valkyrie: You know… I’d like to think that you are somewhere in the Vaporwave world right now. Maybe you are driving one of those fast DeLorean, on a neverending highway made of purple neon, while listening to some of the best music the 80’s had to offer…
Valkyrie: But you don’t belong to the Vaporwave world, Bingo. You belong here. You belong to Turmoil. You belong to the B community. Your B community!
The heart monitor starts beeping a little bit faster
Valkyrie: We never really talked much, but you should know that I like to tell stories. Norse Mythology is my specialty, but I’m an expert in Greek Mythology as well.
Valkyrie grabs a chair and takes a sit right next to him, still holding his hand
Valkyrie: Have you ever heard of Ulysses? He was a greek hero, he took part in the Trojan War. He was forced to spend many years away from home, Ithaca, while Antonius, the usurper, was sitting on his throne and tyrannizing his people.
The heart monitor starts beeping even faster
Valkyrie: Why am I telling you this Myth, you might ask?
Valkyrie: That’s because you are Ulysses, Austin Lee is Antonius and Turmoil is Ithaca. Now you are stuck in the dreamworld, going on an odyssey that is probably taking you to incredible places…
Valkyrie: ... but soon you will be back here. You will be back on Turmoil and you’ll take back what’s yours! You can’t let the usurper tyrannize your people, your fans, your community.
Valkyrie: You have to do this for us.
The heart monitor is beeping super fast
Valkyrie: For Turmoil.
The heart monitor is now going crazy
Valkyrie: and for the B community…
B17 suddenly wakes up!
He looks around, still trying to get his bearings. Valkyrie quickly gets up and takes a few steps back, shocked by what she has just witnessed
Valkyrie: You are awake! You are awake!
Valkyrie: NURSE! Get in here!
A nurse rushes inside the room, alarmed by her screams. She glances at B17 who looks like he is still in dreamland, then looks to Valkyrie, then back to him
Nurse: What is going on here? What is happening?
Nurse: … and why is he naked?!
Valkyrie: I don’t know! I don’t know, I swear!
B17. Ahhhh! What's going on! Betty! I said no calls I'm meditating my paralysis away.
B17: Valk! What are you doing here? Did Jay send you?
A mischievous smile breaks across his face. The nurse quickly throws a blanket over him. B17 goes to remove the blanket, but the nurse stops him.
Nurse: AH! No. Remember, you're paralyzed.
B17 stops moving instantly and goes limp. He smiles mournfully: How can I forget? He turns his attention to Valkyrie as Nurse Betty leaves.
B17: Sweet Valkyrie. Like the soft whispers upon the ocean waves you fill my heart with tranquility. I apologize that you must see me broken, bald, and beaten by the evils of this world.
B17 folds Valkyrie’s petite hand in his. She looks on confused.
B17: But it warms my heart to see you walking in defiance of those who sought to ruin your career. You are an inspiration. In fact, I want you to open that box.
B17 points to the far right corner; an unopened box sits obscured by the foliage of ferns and mini trees just under the TV which is currently airing The Joy of Painting with Bob Ross.
Valkyrie: Is there anything I can do to help you?
B17: I'm sorry, but there is nothing you can do. Only our Overlord Mugen can save me now, but there is something you can do for me.
Valkyrie: What is that?
B17 points to a box next to his be: Embrace the colors.
Valkyrie opens up the box and sees what’s inside: a shiny new B17 t-shirt
She turns her attention to B17, once again. Her expression shows something between gratitude and embarrassment, but she quickly smiles to cover it up.
Valkyrie: I… I will put this on for my next match, if it makes you feel happy.
Valkyrie: From now on I will be a PROUD member of the B community.
B17: And I will continue to idolize Thor...mmhmm.
Valkyrie leaves the room as the camera follows her back to the hallway: she unzips her hoodie, takes it off and then looks at her “Straight Outta Valhalla” t-shirt
Valkyrie then takes her t-shirt off, throws it away and puts the new one on. She then walks away as the camera fades back to Turmoil
