FADE IN:
EXT. TWILIGHT CITY SKYLINE - NIGHT
Establishing shot of Twilight City, a large city filled with hundreds of buildings and several skyscrapers, a city containing thousands of people with thousands of stories. A light, misty rain covers the sleeping city with a moist sheet. As we cut to-
INT. TWILIGHT CITY POLICE DEPT. - NIGHT
-our particular story for tonight. Two police officers enter dragging an unconscious man wearing shiny and polished metal boots and gauntlets that reflect his surroundings. He has a red suit with silver lightning bolts streaked down the side. One of the officers is holding his silver mask. A small drop of blood from where he was hit with a billy-club drips onto the floor. A female officer sitting behind a desk stands up.
FEMALE OFFICER
Which one is this?
MALE OFFICER #1
The burning homicide on Scott Lane.
CUT TO:
INT. TWILIGHT CITY POLICE DEPT, HOLDING CELL - NIGHT
The two male officers throw the unconscious murderer into the holding cell, which already contains a sleeping homeless man. Ink covers the unconscious man's fingers. After a few moments in the cell his eyes open, his irises are a dark brown around the iris, but surrounding the outer-edges is a piercing electric blue. The whites are red and cracked like lightning bolts striking the iris. When his eyes open the lights flicker and his hair begins to stand up. This is RED DYNAMO. He turns around to piece together where he is. He watches the two officers outside of the cell. The first officer is holding a manila filing folder.
MALE OFFICER #1
We got the results back on the prints.
MALE OFFICER #2
Yeah, and?
MALE OFFICER #1
It's James Macky.
The second officer stares blankly for a moment before a look of recognition hits his face.
MALE OFFICER #2
You mean THE James Macky? Danny Macky's kid?
MALE OFFICER #1
Yep. That's little Jamey Macky.
The first officer looks to the cell and sees Macky is awake.
MALE OFFICER #1
You know, ever since that night I scooped up your dad I wondered when I would finally see you come back here. Did you know that?
James stares at him, the red lightning bolts in his eyes haven't left.
MALE OFFICER #1
I almost lost my job because you ran away. How about that? Did you know that?
RED DYNAMO
Well you don't deserve to protect people. I outsmarted you and i was 10.
The male officer, obviously angered, rolls his sleeves up. The female officer rushes in. A worried expression plagues her otherwise pretty face.
FEMALE OFFICER
We just got an I.D. on Macky's victim...
MALE OFFICER #2
Yeah? Who is the Char-Head?
FEMALE OFFICER
It was Fitzgerald.
An expression of shock falls on the second officer's face. The first officer's glare on Macky grows more intense.
MALE OFFICER #1
What is it? Do you hate cops?
RED DYNAMO
Yeah...
MALE OFFICER #1
Alright, how did you do it?
RED DYNAMO
That's for me to know and for you to find out... Very soon.
Fed up, The first officer pulls out his keys and sticks one into a lock. As he pushes the door open James leaps forward and grabs the bars. Sending a current through them he shocks the officer and stops his heart. He drops to the ground, dead. Both officer's shuffle for their guns. The female officer gets on her walkie to shout for help. James ignores her and goes straight for the second officer and grabs both sides of his head. The officer's face slowly becomes more and more burned. James releases his grasp and the officer drops to the ground, also dead. He waits patiently for the female officer to finish calling backup. Officers begin to enter the room and stand in front of the exit pointing their guns at him. He puts his hands up as if he's surrendering. His hair begins to stand up straighter. A large bolt of Staccato lightning crashes through the roof and burns every officer to death. James smiles.
CUT TO:
INT. TWILIGHT CITY POLICE DEPT., EVIDENCE ROOM - NIGHT
James enters the dark evidence room, his eyes, still cracked, shift upward and the lights cut on. He walks to a shelf and grabs the silver mask that hides his nose and mouth. He dons the mask and exits the evidence room.
CUT TO:
EXT. TWILIGHT CITY SKYLINE - NIGHT
The rain has gotten heavy, pummeling all of Twilight City's beautifully-lit buildings. When suddenly a roar of thunder and large bolt of lightning CRASHES over the city and all of the lights go out.
