INT. - DOWNTOWN COFFEE SHOP IN HIDDENVILLE - DAY
Steam curled from Henry's coffee mug, mingling with the rich aroma of roasted beans. Across from him, MISSY sipped her hot cocoa, a faint smile playing on her lips.
HENRY
"I need you to meet me at the playground tomorrow at 8:00 AM."
MISSY (Chuckles)
"The playground?"
HENRY (Shakes his head)
"We don't have anywhere else to train, do we?"
MISSY
"Whatever you say, boss."
CUT TO:
EXT. - PLAYGROUND - 7:50 AM
Henry sat perched on the end of a slide, the cool metal biting into his jeans. His brow furrowed as he wrestled with the problem of finding a better training spot for Missy.
Flashback
INT. - MAN CAVE - DAY
Young Henry's eyes widened, taking in the gleaming gadgets and towering screens. RAY clapped him on the shoulder, a booming laugh echoing through the cave.
YOUNG HENRY
"This is awesome!"
RAY
"That's right, kid! This is the Man Cave! I'll train you here, and you'll become the next hero of Swellview!"
YOUNG HENRY
"Cool!"
Back to present
Henry sighed, burying his face in his hands. Footsteps crunched on the gravel behind him.
MISSY
"Ready for work, boss!"
Henry startled, nearly tumbling off the slide.
HENRY
"Ahh! God! Missy!"
MISSY (Laughs)
"Wow, boss. Didn't you just say yesterday to always be on your guard?"
HENRY (Exhales, blinking rapidly)
"Yeah, yeah, sorry."
Missy's brow furrowed with concern.
MISSY
"You okay, boss?"
HENRY
"Why wouldn't I be? Now, stop stalling. We have training to do."
Twenty minutes later
HENRY (Surprised)
"You've been practicing your blocking."
MISSY
"Don't act so surprised! It's the first thing I do when I get home from school!"
HENRY
"When I was your age, I was hanging out with my friends, putting off training until the last minute. Don't you want to hang out with your friends?"
Missy's smile faded, her gaze fixed on the distant horizon, a subtle droop in her shoulders.
HENRY
"What?"
Missy blinked, snapping her attention back to him.
MISSY
"What? Oh, nothing. I'm just tired, too much training, I guess. I'm going to head home early, if you don't mind, boss."
HENRY
"Are you sure you're okay?"
MISSY (Smiling)
"Of course!"
Missy turned, heading towards her house, then paused.
MISSY
"Henry! I forgot to tell you! Miss Sovenski wants to meet you!"
HENRY
"What?"
MISSY
"See ya!"
HENRY
"Missy, who? What? Who?"
MISSY
"Sorry, I can't hear you!"
CUT TO:
INT. - MISSY'S BEDROOM - 11:57 at night
Missy sat at her desk, pencil in hand, sketching a girl with a crocodile head. Beep, beep, beep her watch blared. She flipped it open, Henry's face floating above it, his breathing heavy.
HENRY
"Hey, sorry to wake you, but we have a bit of a problem. Get down to the 5th Avenue Library right now. And don't forget your suit."
MISSY
"Be there in a jiffy!"
Missy grabbed her suit, slipped it on, and jumped on her bike, pedaling furiously towards the library. She skidded to a halt, seeing Henry, in his Kid Danger suit, tied to a giant wheel of death. Someone in a bright yellow jumpsuit cackled.
LADY DAZZLE
"Oh, my glittery goodness! I've captured the supie-dupie-doo-per hero! How absolutely...dazzling!"
HENRY
"Let me down, sparkles."
Lady Dazzle twirled bedazzled knives between her fingers, her laughter echoing.
LADY DAZZLE
"Oh, come on! Isn't danger in your name? This is going to be so fun! You're just going to love what I have planned for you."
HENRY
"I seriously doubt that!"
LADY DAZZLE
"Well, then stop being so serious!"
She flung a knife, the wheel slowly gathering speed, spinning round and round. The knife landed right beside Henry's left ear. He gulped.
HENRY
"I would love it if you would, you know, not try to kill me, sparkles!"
LADY DAZZLE
"That's not my name, Mr. Danger! The name's Lady Dazzle!"
Missy stepped into the clearing, taking a running leap onto Lady Dazzle, knocking her down.
HENRY
"No! Mis- Get out of here!"
Missy, now in her superhero suit, landed in a crouch, her eyes narrowed.
MISSY
"Not a chance, boss. You need backup."
Lady Dazzle scrambled to her feet, her eyes flashing with anger.
LADY DAZZLE
"Oh, you brought a...sidekick? How utterly predictable! You think a little sparkle can stop me.”
MISSY
“Sparkle? I'm the whole fireworks display Lady!”
In the background Henry struggles to get out of his bounds chafing his wrists
HENRY
“Hey a little help Superfan”
MISSY
“Oh right sorry boss”
LADY DAZZLE (Screams)
“No! I haven't had a chance to do my finale yet”
She tackles Missy Lady Dazzle and Missy grapple, a whirlwind of yellow jumpsuit and sleek superhero suit. Lady Dazzle, surprisingly strong, throws Missy against a bookshelf, sending a cascade of books tumbling down.
LADY DAZZLE
"You little pest! I'll make you regret interfering with my grand performance!"
Missy lays on the ground then she spots a fire extinguisher she grabs it and swings it at Lady Dazzle making her fall to the ground.
Missy walks over to Henry cutting the ropes off his wrists
MISSY
“You ok?”
HENRY (Rubbing wrists)
“Yeah that was some pretty good fighting back there”
MISSY
Thanks!
Lady Dazzle gets up behind them grabbing a glitter bomb out of her pocket throwing it towards Missy and Henry.
HENRY
Missy look out!
Henry uses his force field powers envelope him but before it reaches Missy the bomb explodes sending her flying.
HENRY (yelling)
MISSY!
Glitter falls through the air making Henry cough
HENRY (coughing)
Missy, Missy, where are you!
Missy emerges out of the glitter hair everywhere coated in glitter.
She stumbles into Henrys arms coughing
MISSY
Well that was sparkle-tastic
Cut to:
EXT. - PLAYGROUND - EVENING
Henry and Missy sit on the swings, the fading sunlight casting long shadows.
Henry is worried about Missy. She almost got really hurt. He's debating if it really was a good idea to have a sidekick they only get hurt and he didn’t want her to get hurt he brought her in this, if she got hurt it was on him.
HENRY
"You were amazing today, Missy. Really amazing, but are you sure your ok"
MISSY
"Thanks, boss. I’m fine! Just a little beat up.
You seemed really distracted earlier. Are you sure everything's okay?"
Henry sighs, kicking at the gravel beneath his feet.
HENRY
"It's just... I keep thinking about the Man Cave. About Ray. About how things used to be."
MISSY
"You miss it?"
HENRY
"Yeah. I guess I do. And I feel like I'm failing you, training you here, in a playground. It's not the Man Cave."
MISSY
"But it's where we're training, and I'm learning a lot. You're a great teacher, Henry."
HENRY
"But, I am not Ray."
MISSY
"No, you're not. You're Henry. And that's a good thing. You're different, you're your own hero."
A thoughtful silence settles between them.
HENRY
"You know, you're pretty wise for someone who likes to fight sparkly villains."
MISSY
"Hey! They're dangerous!"
They both laugh.
HENRY
"So, about this Miss Sovenski... who is she?"
MISSY
"Oh! Right! She's... well, she's my therapist. She wants to talk to you."
HENRY
Your therapist Miss Sovenski wants to see me?
You haven’t told you secret identity have you?
MISSY
Of course not!
HENRY
Why does she want to see me?
MISSY
I’ve told her about you and she wants to talk to you
HENRY
When?
MISSY
Tomorrow at noon 2124 kelber avenue
CUT TO:
INT. - THERAPIST OFFICE - 11:59
Henry sits in the waiting nervously legs twitching
RECEPTIONIST
Henry Hart?
HENRY (raising hand)
Here!
RECEPTOPIST (Judging)
You can put your hand down Miss Sovenski is ready to see you
He put his hand down
HENRY
Sorry
He walks in the room, a beautiful brown haired woman sitting in a chair, a clip board resting on her lap round glasses sitting on her nose. She looked the same age as Henry.
MISS SOVENSKI
Ah Mr Hart thank you for seeing me today
She reached her hand across the table shaking his hand as he sat down.
HENRY
Yeah you can just call me Henry though not really used to the Mr part
MISS SOVENSKI
Of course Henry I guess if we're going with first names you can call me Amber.
Henry smiles nervously
HENRY
So… what did you want to see me for
AMBER (Inhaling sharply)
I’m concerned for your influence on Missy
HENRY
Way to pull off the bandaid. Why?
AMBER
She's fixated on superheroes, especially Kid Danger. And this new hero that's appeared isn't helping. I'm worried you're encouraging these fantasies
HENRY
Well I mean he is protecting people.
AMBER
I think he's just a dumb kid looking for attention.
HENRY
I think he’s trying to help. I think he doesn’t care for the attention and I think he’s a really awesome guy… under that mask… i’m guessing
AMBER
See this is what i’m talking about Henry your not good for her your just fueling the fire
HENRY
Its not like i’m the only one shes talking to
Amber shakes her head sadly
AMBER
Henry you are the only one she talks to her mom and i have been talking and she has no friends the only one she talks about is you she talks about with such awe and wonder and i don’t see why you need to stop acting like a friend to her and start acting like an adult
HENRY (Sputtering)
An adult I'm an adult. I'm a big adult. That's what I do adult adulting me a adult. What do you have against Kid Danger and this new hero!
AMBER
I don’t have a problem with them i’m just trying to do whats best for my patient my friend and all that new heroes doing is hurting her and i’m sorry Henry but your not helping either she needs friends her age
INT. - HENRY’s APARTMENT - 9:35
Henry paces his small apartment, running a hand through his hair. The conversation with Amber, Missy's therapist, replays in his mind.
HENRY
(Muttering to himself)
"Not helping? Me? I'm trying to help! I'm teaching her how to be a hero!"
He stops pacing and looks at a framed photo on his desk: a picture of him and Ray, both grinning, in the Man Cave. A wave of nostalgia hits him.
HENRY
(Sighing)
"Maybe... maybe she's right maybe I’m not helping."
His phone buzzes, a text from Missy: "Emergency! Northside Lab! Now!"
HENRY
(Grabbing his jacket)
"Well, guess I'll have to table this existential crisis."
CUT TO:
INT. - Northside Lab - NIGHT
The Lab is in chaos. Glass is scattered across the floor, and a strange, shimmering goo covers the walls. Missy, in her superhero suit, is dodging globs of the goo thrown by a figure shrouded in shadow.
MISSY
"Boss! Over here!"
Henry, now Kid Danger, bursts through the door.
HENRY
"What's going on?"
MISSY
"This... this goo-monster just showed up! It's like it came out of a science experiment gone wrong!"
The goo-monster, a vaguely humanoid shape made of the shimmering substance, lunges at Henry, throwing a glob of goo that splatters against his chest.
HENRY
"Ew! What is this stuff?"
The goo sizzles and starts to harden.
HENRY
"Okay, not cool."
He tries to use his force field, but the goo seems to disrupt it, making it flicker.
MISSY
"It's like it's absorbing your powers!"
HENRY
"Great. Just great."
The goo-monster throws another glob, this time hitting Missy's leg. She cries out in pain.
HENRY
"Superfan!"
Anger flares in Henry's eyes. He charges at the goo-monster, dodging the globs and landing a series of punches. The goo-monster recoils, but it doesn't seem to be hurt.
HENRY
"This thing's tough."
He looks at Missy, who's struggling to stand.
HENRY
"Get out of here! I'll handle this."
MISSY
"No way! We're in this together."
She grabs a fire extinguisher from the wall and sprays the goo-monster with foam. The goo-monster hisses and stumbles, giving Henry an opening.
HENRY
"Now!"
He grabs a heavy, ornate bookend from a nearby shelf and throws it at the goo-monster. The bookend hits the creature in the head, and it dissolves into a puddle of shimmering goo.
HENRY
"That's... weirdly anticlimactic."
He rushes to Missy's side.
HENRY
"Are you okay?"
MISSY
"My leg... it stings."
Henry examines her leg. The goo has left a red, inflamed mark.
HENRY
"We need to get you home. This stuff could be dangerous."
CUT TO:
INT. - MISSY’S BEDROOM - NIGHT
Missy is lying on her bed, her leg bandaged. Henry sits beside her, a worried expression on his face.
HENRY
"I'm sorry, Missy. I shouldn't have let you get hurt."
MISSY
"It's not your fault, Henry. I wanted to help."
HENRY
"I know, but... Amber's right. You need to have a normal life. Friends your own age. Not just me."
MISSY
"But... you're my friend."
HENRY
"I know, but... I'm not a kid, Missy. I can't be your only friend. I need to figure out how to be a better mentor, and you need to have a life outside of this."
MISSY
(Tears welling up in her eyes)
"Are... are you saying you don't want me to be your sidekick anymore?"
HENRY
(Hesitates)
No… but yes Missy I can’t keep letting you get hurt I feel like I dragged you into this and your just a kid I don’t want to see you hurt
MISSY
(Sniffling)
I chose this if anything I dragged you into this!
HENRY
Your to young!
MISSY
I’m the same age you we’re when Ray started training you I bet he would never do this to you!
Henry flinches standing up walking towards the door
HENRY
I’m sorry Missy but I’m not Captain Man
CUT TO:
INT. - HENRY’S APARTMENT - 12:05
HENRY
(To himself)
"I didn't want to hurt her, but... I don't know what else to do. I’m not Ray I’m not near as good as him at being a mentor .”
CHARLOTTE
No Henry your not your better
Henry turns around
HENRY
Char!
He runs to her hugging her
HENRY
It’s so good to see you!
CHARLOTTE
It’s been rough hasn’t it
HENRY
I don’t know what to do Charlotte I don’t want to see her hurt
CHARLOTTE
But now your the reasons she’s hurting
HENRY
No Amber was right I may be hurting her by doing this but in the end it’ll be better
CHARLOTTE
What therapist Hen
Henry tells her about the therapist and there talk Lady Dazzle and all the events that have happened in the last few days by the end he was yawning he hadn’t slept in days
HENRY (yawning)
Why are you here?
CHARLOTTE
I’ll tell you tomorrow you need sleep
INT. - HENRY’S APARTMENT - MORNING
Sunlight streams through the window, illuminating dust motes dancing in the air. Henry stirs, blinking awake. He's sprawled on the couch, a blanket haphazardly draped over him. Charlotte is sitting at the kitchen table, sipping coffee and scrolling through her phone.
HENRY
(Groggily)
"Char? What time is it?"
CHARLOTTE
"Almost ten. You slept like a log."
HENRY
(Sitting up, rubbing his eyes)
"Ten? Dude, I haven't slept that late in... well, since I was, like, actually a kid."
He yawns, stretching his arms.
HENRY
"So, you gonna tell me why you're here, or are you just gonna keep me in suspense?"
CHARLOTTE
(Smiling)
"I came to help, obviously. You sounded like you were having a total meltdown last night."
HENRY
"Meltdown? I was just... processing. Yeah, processing."
CHARLOTTE
"Sure, whatever. Look, I know you're struggling with this whole mentor thing. And I know you're beating yourself up about Missy."
HENRY
(Sighing)
"It's just... I don't want to mess this up. She's got so much potential, and I feel like I'm just dragging her into danger."
CHARLOTTE
"You're not dragging her anywhere. She chose this, remember? And you're not messing up. You're just... figuring it out."
HENRY
"Yeah, well, 'figuring it out' seems to involve a lot of guilt and sleepless nights."
CHARLOTTE
"That's why I'm here. To help you figure it out. And to remind you that you're not alone."
HENRY
"Thanks, Char. But I don’t think I can have as my sidekick again I can do this by myself
CHARLOTTE
Hen…
HENRY
Dude I’m not kidding I can’t!
Henry leaves to house slamming the door behind him walking out onto the front pouch towards his car suddenly someone grabs him from behind
LADY DAZZLE
I told you I’d have my finale
