EXT: Outside

We see a hill on the side of the road and it’s pouring down rain next to it we see a Yamaha motorcycle on the road and a woman standing on the hill with her arms out. She is wearing leather pants and a long black shirt with boots outside her pants. She has black hair, she stands five foot five and she’s in her mid-twenties and her name is CASS. She closes her eyes and then starts to laugh at the rain over and over again. She enjoys the rain. We get a close-up on her.

INT: Bedroom- couple of hours ago.

Cass is sleeping in her bed then puts the headphones off of her head and looks outside to see that it’s raining. She smiles. She sees that the answering machine blinking several times, she walks over to it. She hits the button and it rewinds.

Courtney-

(On the Machine)

Hey Cass, it’s me. I wanted to let you know that your uncle is dead.

I know you’re not going to shred any tears but you might want to now. There’s blood everywhere, it’s like whoever did it took out every organ and threw it everywhere, literally. I know it wasn’t you. You have an alibi at the time of the murder you were with me. Anyway, give me a call.

The machine beeps.

Mom-

(On The Machine)

Honey, it’s me. Your uncle is dead. Do you know something about it?

Huh!

Cass looks pissed.

Mom-

(On The Machine)

I’m going to tell the police and everyone else your motive to killing him.

Then maybe you could finally let it go!

The Machine beeps.

Courtney-

(On the machine)

It’s me again. Your mother came down here and the captain was almost convinced but I told him about the fact that I was having dinner with you. Which you still owed me for. Ms. Rock Star. See you later.

The machine beeps. Cass takes the picture of her mother then throws to the other side of the wall and it breaks. She pauses then picks it up Cass takes the picture, goes into her dresser drawer and puts out another picture frame and puts it in there. She puts it on the dresser, face down.

EXT: Outside- present

A sliver Camaro drives on the other side of the road and a woman comes out whose wearing white leather jeans and a black shirt with her boots under her pants. She has black hair that stands five foot three and she’s in her late twenties. Her name is MERCURY. Mercury looks at Cass and laughs then goes back in her car.

Mercury-

See you soon birthday girl.

She drives away. Cass opens her eyes and looks to her side and sees there’s a man who has grayish black hair and stands six foot three and stands in the age range of his Mid-fifties. His name is DAD.

Cass-

What do you want Dad?

Dad-

I just wanted to say happy birthday, soon.

Cass-

You’re a little early.

Dad-

I could say happy birthday anytime I want.

Cass gives him a look and then looks back up at the rain.

Cass-

This feels good.

Dad-

I’m glad to see that hasn’t changed.

Cass looks at Dad.

Cass-

Could you stop talking? I’m trying to enjoy the rain.

Dad-

We have to talk.

Cass-

Maybe you could answer me a question. Why did you married that worthless waste of a person I call mom?

Dad-

It was a long time ago.

Cass-

She was blaming me for killing him !

Cass frustrated just walks off

INT: Car

Mercury is driving with a smile on her face and she takes her sword then licks off the blood..

Mercury-

Taste great.

EXT: Outside

Cass walks down the hill and then lighting hits the motorcycle and it blows it apart.

Cass goes flying and she hits the floor.

Cass-

(Looks up)

You can’t stop screwing me! Huh God! You son of a bitch!

Cass sits down and Dad sits down with her.

Dad-

He’s not screwing you.

Cass-

What do you call certain moments in my life?

Dad-

He’s not screwing you.

Cass looks out into the sky.

Cass-

What do you call it?

A black Porsche pulls up on the other side of the street. A man runs out of his car and walks to Cass. He has no hair and that stands six foot even and he’s in his mid-twenties. His name is THOMAS.

Thomas-

Are you okay?

Cass-

I’m fine.

Thomas-

I’m sorry about your bike. Do you need a ride?

Dad-

Too bad, it’s not your birthday yet, you could fly.

Cass gives him a look.

Thomas-

Well…

Cass-

Yes.

Cass walks with Thomas to the car.

INT: Car

They both get into the car and Thomas pops in the C.D. He cracks his knuckles.

Thomas-

Do you have to be anywhere?

Cass-

No.

Thomas-

Do you have your insurance?

Cass-

Yes.

Thomas-

I like small talk while I’m driving and no criticisms about the way I drive.

Cass-

That’s fine with me.

Dad appears

Dad-

I like him.

The car turns around and he starts driving. We see it going from zero to seventy and he’s off. Cass lean back in the car and looks outside to see everything go by really fast.

Thomas smiles while he’s driving.

Cass-

What are you smiling about?

Thomas-

You are my favorite graphic novelist.

Cass-

(Pauses)

Thanks.

Thomas-

You’re even better than J.O. Barr.

He slips through the other cars driving and then there’s a sign saying he’s in Bridgeport. Cass sees this and she’s shocked.

Cass-

I lived a couple blocks from the high school next to the street sign in the corner.

Thomas-

There.

Cass looks to see the car

Cass-

Yes there.

Thomas makes a sharp turn and they are in front of the house.

Cass-

How many tickets have you gotten?

Thomas-

I just got one ticket.

Cass-

Thanks.

Thomas-

Anytime you need a ride.

Cass smiles and leaves the car.

Ext: Street

Cass gets on the street and turns to see the car making a turn and speeding down the street.. She goes into the door of her garage. We see a lot of cars and motorcycles there in her garage. She turns back from the garage and she sees a woman looking at her.

We see a woman with blonde hair standing across the street smiling at her. She has blonde hair stands five foot eight and in her late thirties named LAURA. She waves at her and then as the car goes by, she disappears. Cass shakes her head and goes into the garage.

INT: Real Deal

A man with a button down shirt and dressed pants is sitting down on the counter looking through a comic called Hybrid. He has black hair and stands five foot eleven and he’s in his mid-twenties his name is PETER. A man with a black coat on with no shirt and black pants, he looks like he’s in his late thirties named PARAGON.

Paragon-

Hello.

Peter stares for a second and then looks up.

Peter-

How may I help you?

Paragon-

I keep on hearing about this comic called “hybrid”.

Peter-

We have it.

Paragon-

I want one of each issue.

Peter looks stunned at this and smiles.

Peter-

We’re talking…

Paragon drops cash onto the table and Peter takes it.

Paragon-

One thousand dollars is for you.

Peter-

I could take that.

Paragon-

Have it to me by two days.

Paragon smiles and he walks out of the shop. Cass walks in and sees Paragon walking out, they exchange looks and he looks back at Peter then looks at Cass.

Paragon-

I can’t wait to read your stories, writer.

Paragon walks out and Cass looks at him then her eyes change.

Peter-

Hey Cass, how are you?

Cass stares at him for a few more minutes and then walks to Peter.

Cass-

My bike got blown up.

Peter-

Oh God! Stop the press you have, how many more do you have?

Cass-

Not the point.

Peter laughs.

Cass-

(Stern)

What?

Peter looks up and comes from around the counter.

Peter-

Don’t kill me. You lived like a fucking rock star.

Cass-

I like that bike.

Cass takes a seat.

Cass-

Tomorrow is my birthday and the tenth birthday of Hybrid.

Peter-

What do you want for your birthday? Do you want her powers like what you created or something like that?

Cass gives him a look and Peter goes back around the corner.

Cass-

I’ve been thinking. Maybe it’s time to give her a human name.

(Pauses)

What do you think about that Peter?

Peter gives her a surprised look

Peter-

Wow.

Cass-

What?

Peter-

(Like he knows something)

Why?

Cass-

I just feel like maybe it’s time.

Peter-

You said maybe, so you’re not sure.

Cass-

Maybe it’s the birthday blues talking.

Peter-

What do you have to be sad about? Your graphic novels have been picked not only in the United States but in fucking England.

(English Accent)

I just love that Hybrid.

Cass shows a smile.

Peter-

My lucky day, you just smiled.

Cass looks down.

Peter-

Listen, I have put away an extra one thousand in the savings for her.

Cass-

You mean the girl I put in a coma.

Peter looks annoyed.

Peter-

You were eighteen! That was ten years ago, stop killing yourself about it. You could be sorry but it’s a mistake. It’s a mistake. She’s going to wake up and even if she doesn’t…

Cass-

Shut up!

Peter stands back.

Peter-

You need to get laid.

He walks in the back and COURTNEY walks in who looks like she has black hair that stands in her early forties and she’s five foot nine. She’s wearing jeans and a button down shirt.

Courtney-

You know has the officer sworn to watch over you. I have to agree with your friend as your friend.

Cass-

What part?

Courtney-

You need to get laid.

Cass-

Sex is not going to fix it Court. I’m too emotionally screwed up to know what to do in bed. Besides I’m a virgin.

Peter walks back out and gives the envelope that said Hybrid with money in them.

Courtney-

What did you do when your mother was trying to tie you in the murder of your uncle?

Peter-

Bitch.

Cass-

I was laughing at the rain but before that I threw a picture of her across the room.

(Pauses)

I have other picture frames, so when I break one, I could replace it with another one.

(Pauses)

It helps me from not going to her house and breaking her face.

Courtney-

Good.

Cass-

I thought you like that.

Cass gives her a hug and walks out of the shop.

EXT: Outside of the Real Deal

Cass gets on her bike and leaves while Mercury is outside watching and she’s listening to masters of the universe by Queen. She turns and she sees that Paragon is watching her then he waves at her then walks away.

Mercury-

We could be Gods.

Mercury turns to see Laura standing there looking at her and shakes her head no.

Mercury jump back like she seen a ghost and she gets up to go after her. The car goes by and she disappears. Mercury shakes her head and goes back in her car then drives off.

INT: Cass house

Cass kneels with her boxing gloves on and in a yoga position. She closes her eyes and then she opens them and for a flash we see the total blackness shine in them then goes away. She gets up and turns on the radio then Radio Ga Ga by Queen plays on the radio. She starts punching away at the bag and then she kicks at it.

Voice #1-

(Voiceover)

I’m sorry but your father died from a heart attack.

Cass-

(Voiceover)

It happened just like my book.

Voice #2-

(Voiceover)

Why haven’t you showed her face?

Cass rapidly kicks the bag and forearms the bag then kicks and punches it.

She stands and looks at it.

Mom-

(Voiceover)

This is your entire fault.

Courtney-

(Voiceover)

It’s not her fault.

Cass-

(Voiceover)

It happened in my book.

Courtney-

(Voiceover)

You can’t believe it.

Cass punches the hell out of the bag and let’s out a mild primal scream and starts to punch the bag again then kicks the hell out of it again. Cass starts to cry as she punches and kicks the bag but keeps on kicking and kicking it over and over again. We see the top of the bag starting to get loose and then she kicks it one more time and it goes flying across the room. She wipes her eyes and nose. She hears a knock on the door and she opens it to see MOM who has reddish blonde hair and that stands five foot eleven and stands in the age range of her late fifties.

Mom-

Hi.

Cass goes to slam the door and Mom blocks it.

Mom-

I want to come in.

Cass-

The minute you let go of that door, I’m going to slam it back in your face.

Mom comes in and closes the door.

Mom-

Why do we have to do this?

Cass-

You know why and plus you think I could murder someone.

Mom-

I’m sorry, I just…

Cass-

Was drinking too much? Funny, I get blamed for something, I didn’t do fifteen years ago and you’re still drinking. You were drunk all those times you told me how I was disgusting for doing that. It’s so sadistic how you did that over and over again.

Mom-

Can we just make amends? I just wanted to come and see you.

Cass-

Now that you see me, you could go.

Cass walks away and sits down.

Mom-

I need to tell you something.

Cass-

What?

Mom-

I’ve seen a therapist.

Cass-

Hooray for you mom.

Mom slams her bag

Mom-

Listen up child! I made a mistake and so have you, what about the girl you put in the hospital?

Cass eyes changes colors and she turns around.

Cass-

You don’t get to use that as ammo to try and hurt me.

Mom-

I’m not trying to hurt anyone.

(Pauses)

God forgives, why can you?

Cass walks closer to her Mom.

Cass-

Do you really want to talk God? Let’s talk God.

Was God there when you’re brother, my uncle, accused me of molesting my cousin?

What’s God there when you took me to all of those shrinks thinking that there was something wrong with me? No he wasn’t. How about those times when you drove my father to his grave with your drinking? I hate you, you fucking drunk. You are selfish, self-absorbed, worthless piece of human trash. All you drunks are!

Mom slaps Cass and she let’s out a primal scream.

Cass-

Get out now.

Mom takes her bag and leaves. Cass is on the floor and slams her fist on the floor.

Cass-

Calm down Cass. Calm down. Just please calm down.

Cass looks up and with different eyes.

Cass-

Where are your angels? Where’s your divine intervention you son of a bitch?

Where are they?!

Cass sits down and starts to cry. Dad appears.

Dad-

You need to control your anger.

Cass-

No kidding dad!

(Pauses)

I’m sorry.

Dad goes in front of Cass.

Dad-

You have to do something with it.

Cass-

You have any ideas.

Dad-

She’s getting the best of you.

Cass-

What do you mean?

Dad-

Your anger is un-focus, remember it’s your strength and you’re just giving it to her. You know that this birthday is different. Every five years is still different because you have a chance for power.

Cass looks down

Cass-

Why would I want this power?

Dad-

You could save people with this power.

Cass-

Who?

Dad-

It could all start with yourself, you could save yourself.

Cass smiles at that.

Dad-

It’s so rare anyone gets to see you smile. Why do you hide it?

Cass hugs Dad.

INT: Real Deal

Mercury walks in and Peter looks at it coming in. He smirks to himself.

Mercury takes off her sunglasses and she looks at him.

Mercury-

I need help.

Peter-

Is it Personal or professional?

Mercury-

You’re funny.

Peter-

How may I help you?

Mercury-

I need Hybrid issue number 5, 10, 15, 20, 25, 30, 35, 40, 45, 50, 55, 60, 65, 75 and 80.

Peter-

Let me check in the back.

Peter walks to the back and Mercury turns around to look around. Cass walks in and stops then Mercury looks over to her side. She slowly walks to her and Mercury smiles.

Cass-

Are you waiting for someone?

Mercury-

He was getting me a few of your books.

Cass-

What are you missing?

Mercury-

Every fifth issue up to eighty but I all ready have seventy.

Cass-

You enjoyed them.

Mercury walks up to Cass

Mercury-

Why haven’t you given her a name or show her face?

It’s almost like she’s hiding something.

Cass-

She’s not.

Mercury-

How your fans suppose to love her when they don’t know the name or her face?

(Pauses)

It seems like you’re fooling them.

Cass curled her fist.

Cass-

They must love it because they keep buying my issues, even you.

Mercury smiles and looks down to see Cass’s fist curled then looks up.

Mercury-

Isn’t it your birthday?

Cass-

How do you know?

Mercury-

Internet, you could find anything.

Peter comes in takes the issue on the top and puts it in the chest behind him.

Peter-

I couldn’t find number five.

Mercury smiles and goes into her checkbook and pulls out a check.

Mercury-

Keep the change.

Peter looks at the check and her eyes budges.

Peter-

I can’t…

Mercury-

Please, I insist.

Mercury picks it up with one hand and balances it on the palm of her hand.

Mercury-

(Whispers)

You should really give her a name.

Mercury walks by her and leaves.

Peter-

Look at this check inscription.

Cass-

What?

Peter-

“Darkness always knows”.

Cass turns to the direction of the door and touches the check

INT: Mercury’s training.

Mercury pulls out her two swords and smiles she puts them down.

Mercury-

Come on out.

Five women walk out with black haired wigs and it looks like they have on the same things Cass had on in the first scene. Mercury walks to the first one and signals one with her finger then that one charges at her and swings at her. Mercury easily ducks and then after the next swing. Mercury ducks and catches the trainee by the throat and one punch then her head pops off then there’s blood pouring out. Mercury is pissed at this and licks it.

Mercury-

Has a taste of syrup. Attack!

We see another trainee attack and moments later, we see body parts all over the floor and position around in a circle and Mercury is in the middle of it.

Mercury-

(Looks up)

I will kill her…Remember that, I will kill the birthday girl.

Mercury laughs hysterically. There’s a knock on the door.

Mercury-

Do I have any blood on me?

Mercury looks around on her outfit.

Mercury-

Nope.

INT: Mercury’s living room

Mercury walks to the door and there’s a man with a wife-beater shirt and black leather pants.

Man-

Hi, I’m sweetness.

Mercury smiles

Mercury-

Come in sweetness.

They close the door.

INT: Cass house

Cass sits on the chair backwards in the living room. She looks down and walks out.

EXT: Outside

Cass is on the right side of her house and looks at her hands. She leaps on the house and starts climbing the house with her hands one at a time. She begins to do it quickly and she scales the house then gets on the top of the roof.

Cass-

I just copied my alter-ego

EXT: Roof

Dad appears on the roof as Cass looks out of the edge.

Dad-

Well…

Cass-

What?

Dad-

Are you going to try it?

Cass-

This is insane. I’m trying to mimic the same powers my alter ego in a comic book does.

Dad smiles and he walks to her.

Dad-

What brought this on?

Cass-

That woman I met.

Dad-

You don’t like her.

Cass-

She’s evil.

Dad-

How do you know?

Cass turns to her dad and then looks out there.

Cass-

I’m a criminal, I know my partners in crime.

Dad-

You don’t know true evil.

Cass looks Dad.

Cass-

What do you mean true evil?

Dad-

You touched the check, you tell me.

Cass remembers touching the check and she remembers a black ring appearing under her finger. Then she’s taken back to earlier today and she sees Mercury standing out in the distance looking at Cass. Cass breaks out of the pose she was in as the rain freezes and Cass runs with super speed to the car where Mercury is. Mercury looks at Cass and laughs then goes back in her car.

Mercury-

See you soon birthday girl.

She drives away.

EXT: Roof

Cass stands there and walks back.

Cass-

She knows.

Dad-

She does.

Cass-

How?

Dad-

Balance Cass.

Cass-

What do you mean?

Dad leans in to her

Dad

Hybrid is created from you. When you created an evil act and didn’t accept the power.

You created a counter balance to your evil act, which was her. She was good.

When you did a good act when you were twenty-three and didn’t accept, you made her evil. She’s a void. Every one is born with a soul, some just chose not used it.

Cass-

Is there a connection between us?

Dad-

(Hesitates)

No.

Cass-

I’ll take you at your word.

Cass looks down.

Cass-

Where did she come from?

Dad-

She was born just like you in every way. She chose the opposite road in her life. While you took out your anger about your mother one way, She did it another way. She consistently got into trouble for fighting. When you did what you did at eighteen. She changed. She changed again when you were twenty-three.

Cass-

So people have died because of my mother and I haven’t accepted it.

Dad-

Yes.

Cass-

I have to know more.

Dad-

What do you going to do?

Cass walks away.

Dad-

What do you going to do?

Cass turns to Dad

Cass-

I’m going to go to war.

INT: Courtney’s room

Courtney walks to the door and opens the door for Cass.

Courtney-

Do you know what time it is?

Cass-

Yes.

Courtney-

What do you want?

Cass-

Mercury Jensen, ring a bell.

Courtney-

Go on.

Cass-

How are your hacking skills these days?

Courtney walks over to her computer and sits down.

Courtney-

Come in.

Courtney walks to her computer and sits down then cracks her knuckles then turns on the computer.

Courtney-

It needs a few minutes.

Cass-

Good.

Courtney-

Did anything else happen today?

Cass-

I met a guy.

Courtney-

Is he cute?

Cass-

He drives a Porsche.

Courtney-

That’s good.

Courtney types away.

Cass-

You’re a cop and you hack in the system

Courtney-

What do you think you’re the only criminal who could change and sometimes I don’t believe in the system? Sometimes I think it would make the world a better place if you could just randomly kill all the scum of the world. However, I can’t think that because I have a badge.

Cass-

And you won’t let me knock off a few people.

Courtney-

Like your mother.

Cass-

Good point.

Courtney stops typing and then waits.

Courtney-

We wait.

Cass-

Good.

Courtney-

Why the interest in her?

Cass-

Something she said to me.

Courtney-

What?

Cass-

She really wanted me to show Hybrid her human name and face.

She was saying how I was tricking my fans.

Courtney-

Are you kidding me?

Cass-

I know it’s silly, however it was a hunch I have.

Courtney looks on the screen and she has a very “Oh My God” look on her face.

Cass-

What?

Courtney-

She has been acquitted several times for murder in the first degree.

Cass-

I knew it.

Courtney-

There’s more.

Cass-

What?

Courtney plays with the mouse.

Courtney-

It all started in the year two thousand and one. I mean, she used to do community work and was a pillar of the community and then she quit them all. She just started committing crimes.

Cass looks shocked.

Courtney-

What do you know about her?

Cass-

It was just that feeling.

Courtney-

Well, I’m going to put a few officers around…

Cass-

No.

Courtney-

Why?

Cass-

(Pauses)

I’ve seen those eyes before.

Courtney-

You mean you had that same look in your eyes when you…

Cass-

Tell them to be careful…

Courtney-

I won’t be able to pull a favors tell tomorrow, which is your birthday.

Cass-

Yeah, I know

Courtney sits down.

Courtney-

You know I’m old enough to be your mother if I gave birth to you at fifteen.

(Pauses)

Why do you hate your birthday?

Cass turns away and looks at Courtney.

Cass-

She gave birth to me. She turned…

(Pauses)

It’s a long story.

Courtney-

If you ever want to…

Cass-

I will

Cass turns and walks away.

INT: Real Deal

A Spanish man with a t-shirt and pants who looks like he’s in his mid-thirties named VICTOR walks in and Peter sees him.

Victor-

Did you talk to her?

Peter-

Victor, why don’t you try to talk to her yourself?

Victor and Peter slaps hands, he stands on the other side.

Victor-

Come on man.

Peter-

Tomorrow is her birthday.

Victor-

(Pauses)

Are you going to celebrate it?

Peter-

She doesn’t like to celebrate it.

Victor

Why?

Peter-

Personal demons, you know.

Victor shakes his head.

Peter-

I need to ask you a favor…

Victor-

Go and take care of your business

Peter walks away and Thomas looks around then looks at Hybrid and turns it around to see her pictures, he smiles. Thomas walks in and looks around, like he’s looking for someone.

Victor-

He’s in back.

Thomas-

I’m looking for Hybrid comics; my ex-girlfriend burned half of them.

Victor-

She’s not a girlfriend, she’s a bitch.

Thomas-

So I need to replace them.

Peter comes back.

Peter-

Tom.

Peter and Thomas shake hands.

Victor-

I’ll see you later.

Victor leaves.

Peter-

How can I help you?

Thomas-

I need to replace some copies.

Peter-

Go ahead.

Thomas-

(Pulls out a piece of paper)

I need Hybrid issue number 5, 10, 15, 20, 25, 30, 35, 40, 45, 50, 55, 60, 65, 75 and 80.

Peter-

I know for a fact that I would have to order them except for issue five.

Thomas-

It’s a good start.

Peter opens a chest that he has in the back of the counter and pulls out issue five.

Peter-

Some woman was actually looking for it but I had a feeling that you should have it.

Thomas-

Why?

Peter-

Issue number five was when the girl who’s hybrid was about to meet Kyle while Pablo was watching her. Pablo we know is her admirer. Anyway, she let’s Kyle in on some really personal things about her and I knew that woman shouldn’t have it.

Thomas-

My gain I guess

Thomas leaves.

INT: Hospital room

A woman is lying in the hospital room and she’s five foot three with black hair and her age is in her late twenties. Her name is TERRA. While she’s lying in the bed, an

astro-projection of herself is over her. Cass walks in. She brings flowers and she replaces the flowers in the vase and she sits down.

Cass-

Hi.

The Astro-projection of Terra glares at her.

Cass-

Well, it’s been ten years and you’re still asleep.

(Pauses)

It’s been a while since I came and for that I’m sorry. I come here today because I met this woman and I know she’s bad. I just know she is.

The astro-projection walks to Cass and just stare at her.

Cass-

You know, you’ve missed a lot of things because of me and I can’t tell you how sorry I am for what I did to you. I mean, it was a stupid reason and I still did it.

I showed no mercy and…

Cass walks away and Terra looks at her body.

Terra-

Wake up.

INT: Hallway

Cass walks to the elevator and hits the button then Laura comes out from nowhere and waits with Cass. The elevator opens and they both walk in.

INT: Elevator

Cass looks sad while Laura glances at her every other minute and then elevator stops.

Cass-

Damn!

Cass bangs furiously on the door.

Laura-

I don’t think that’ll help.

Cass-

I’m pissed.

Laura-

I could see that.

Cass looks away.

Cass-

Why God is such a…

Laura-

Could anyone answer?

Cass-

That’s okay.

Laura-

Seriously, can anyone answer?

Cass-

If you want to answer that question, go ahead.

Laura-

I think its perspective. Terrorists behind 9/11 believe that they were doing the right thing with the airplanes crashing to the world trade center because of how Americans lived free. Religious fanatics in our own country believe the terrorists were in the right and they quote the bible of how God struck down that city of sin. Then using that same city as reference that’s how they defend judging people who are gay. Everything is the Old Testament, an eye of an eye. Some people go by the old, new or the whole testament. They could be a saint or sinner. It depends what lurks in the heart in the heart of man or woman.

Cass-

This is why I don’t go to church.

Laura-

Why do you hate God?

Cass-

He knows, why?

Cass looks at him.

Cass-

I left a room of someone I put in there because she looked at my man wrong.

I put her in the coma.

Laura-

Have you forgiven yourself?

Cass-

Why should I?

Laura-

Are you the same person you were?

Cass-

No.

Laura-

You should never forget what you did, however, unless you want to be taken out by the evolution of the human race, you have to evolve. Never forget, always remember to evolved.

The elevator stops.

Cass-

Who are you?

Laura smiles and the doors open then she leave.

INT: Mercury’s living room

Mercury is lying there on the couch while she hears screams from her bedroom.

She laughs. Paragon stands in her way as she walks out of the room.

Mercury-

Who are you?

Paragon punches her and she breaks the door behind her. She gets up and dropkicks him across the room. She walks to Paragon.

Mercury-

You don’t come into someone’s house and hit them.

Paragon leaps up and tackles Mercury down.

Paragon-

I saw you watching the writer; I smelled it on you, violence.

(Pauses)

Why? She’s only human.

Mercury bursts laughing and throws him over.

Mercury-

She’s not only human. She’s much more.

Paragon-

I’ll be watching you.

Paragon turns into his vampire form and flies out of there.

There’s a knock on the door. She opens it and Cass is standing there.

Cass-

I want to come in.

Mercury smiles and then opens the door wider. Cass comes in just staring at her

Mercury-

Can’t sleep, huh?

Cass-

You words have been in my head all day. Why is that?

Cass walks up to her face

Cass-

How can complete stranger words be in my head?

Mercury-

Good.

Cass-

Who are you?

Mercury walks to her.

Mercury-

A void, your leftover, your twin, you could call me so many things.

Cass-

What do you mean by real power?

Mercury-

You mean the fact I’ve accepted who I am, while you haven’t.

(Pauses)

I have real power, money and I live like a fucking rock star.

Mercury walks to her couch and lies down then Cass follows.

Mercury-

Why are you so afraid of your destiny?

Cass-

Why do you embrace it?

Mercury-

I asked you first.

Cass-

Because I could have killed someone!

Mercury bursts out laughing, gets up and laughs at her. Cass punches her across the room and Mercury slams into a wall. Mercury gets up and looks up

Mercury-

That actually hurt.

Mercury flies over then hugs Cass and Cass pushes her away then punches her again but it was small and it hardly affected Mercury.

Mercury-

The bugs really bite. You know, if you want it to hurt, accept it.

Cass-

Not on your terms.

Mercury slaps her.

Mercury-

Yes. On my terms!

Mercury slaps her again.

Mercury-

Yes bitch! On my terms!

Cass grabs her arm the next time and bends it. Cass’s eyes change colors and Mercury is on her knees.

Mercury-

You are my sister.

Cass-

I’m nothing like you.

Mercury-

What’s wrong with being me?!

(Pauses)

We are masters of this universe; we are Gods, what we could have?

Cass gets in her face.

Mercury-

I mean you have talents with your books. I know you want to be your alter ego.

I know you were love that power coursing through you veins.

Cass-

You don’t know me.

Mercury-

I’ve seen everything about you. I dream about you, your human life and it’s pathetic how you disrespect your true self.

Cass-

I rather fight it then accept it.

Mercury-

That’s insulting.

Mercury backhands Cass and she flies out the window then files out the window to the ground. Cass’s wings grow and she flies back to crash through the other side of the window then the wings go in her body. Mercury applauds her over and over again. Cass looks at her dead in her eyes.

Cass-

You’re pissing me off.

Mercury-

I hope so.

Cass-

Bad things will happen to you when I get pissed off.

Mercury-

What will you turn green?

Cass-

Fuck you.

Mercury

Do you promise, sister?

Cass is about to charge.

Mercury-

I don’t want you to charge at me unless you’re going to use your power.

(Pauses)

I want you at your best; I want you when you’re actually being real to yourself.

Cass opens the door and leaves

Mercury-

Evil knows your name, Cass.

Mercury smiles to her and walks away.

EXT: Street

Cass looks at where she fell and looks up to see there’s no one around.

Cass-

I was lucky.

Cass walks away and she turns the corner then she starts to hear voices in her head.

She holds her temples of her head and is on the corner then she looks at the clock and it’s midnight. She looks up and sees Thomas there. He’s trying to say something to her. But she can’t hear them but the screams and voices are loud. Thomas helps her up and they stopped.

Cass-

Hi.

Thomas-

Hi.

Cass-

What are you doing here?

Thomas-

I was looking for you.

Cass-

What?

Thomas-

I was looking for you because…

Cass-

Why?

Thomas-

You were the only thing I was thinking about ever since you left my car…

Cass-

Oh, thanks?

Thomas smiles at her.

Thomas-

Can I drive you somewhere?

Cass-

That’s okay.

Thomas stops her.

Thomas-

I insisted.

Cass-

That’s okay, I got it from here.

Thomas watches her go and as he turns a corner. A vampire monster stands right in front of Thomas. Thomas then changes into his vampire self. They stare at each other for a while and then change back to Paragon and Thomas.

Paragon-

Hello son.

Thomas punches him and Paragon flies down the street. Thomas runs to where he falls.

Thomas-

What do you want here?

Paragon stands up.

Paragon-

Angels fall, heroes have died and I still walk. I’m looking for my next rival.

Thomas-

Me.

Paragon-

No. You are my son. That would be a fair fight.

Paragon walks past him.

Paragon-

I’ve heard stories about the writer. Cass is her name. Then I see a middle-level demon after her and I begin to think. She might know something about what she writes.

Thomas-

Oh dad, how pathetic? She’s human.

Paragon shakes his head and walks away.

INT: Mercury’s house

Mercury is smiling as her eyes are white and it’s turns back to normal. She looks down on the streets and sees Victor. She thinks nothing of it and walks off.

Victor-

Come on Cass, accept it and say yes.

(Pauses)

We need a hero.

(Looks up)

You can’t seem to get off your ass with any divine interventions.

INT: Cass’s house

Cass walks into the room and she looks into the mirror and there’s a knock on the door. Cass walks to the door and opens it up to see Thomas there. They pause for a few moments and then he looks in.

Thomas-

I could go.

Cass-

If you want to go, that’s fine

(Pauses)

I never got your name; I mean you know what I do.

Thomas-

I’m Thomas.

Cass-

Nice to meet you Tom, do you mind?

Thomas-

That’s what everyone calls me.

Cass-

I’m not like everyone else; I tried to be something special.

Thomas-

You are.

Thomas walks in and sits down Cass takes off her jacket and looks to see her dad waving at her. She rolls her eyes.

Cass-

Can I get you anything to drink?

Thomas-

Pepsi…

Dad appears near the fridge

Dad-

He’s doesn’t drink, he’s a keeper.

Cass-

(Whispers)

Shut up you.

Cass grabs the Pepsi and walks over to Thomas.

Thomas-

Thanks.

Cass sits down across from him

Cass-

Everything seems to be quiet around you.

Cass looks around as if she’s looking for something.

Thomas-

I like the quiet five percent of the time.

Cass-

What’s the five percent?

Thomas-

(Pauses)

When I’m reading your stories or rehearsing what to say if I ever met you.

Cass slightly smiles.

Cass-

(Pauses)

Like what?

Thomas puts down his drink.

Thomas-

I’ve always wanted to know, where does Hybrid come from?

Cass looks down and then looks up. Cass looks away.

Thomas-

Am I making you feel uncomfortable?

Cass-

Yeah.

Thomas-

I’m sorry.

Cass-

Hybrid comes from…anger of evil.

(Pauses)

Sometimes even hating herself because she feels she’s more Hybrid then human.

Thomas-

An outsider, I understand that.

(Pauses)

People scare me that’s why I like driving so fast because I just want to go by them.

Cass shakes her head.

Cass-

That’s why I like my bikes or my cars because I can’t stand being with people…except Peter, my friend Courtney and…..you for some reason.

Thomas-

I’m complimented.

Cass-

You should be. What else do you want to talk about?

Thomas-

Anything you want.

Cass slowly sits back in her seat.

INT: Mercury’s bedroom

The body of sweetness is press over Mercury’s head and she puts it down. She brings out a sledgehammer and starts smashing away while humming to herself. She smashes it into little pieces and then takes those little pieces and puts them into a garbage bag.

She takes off the sheets and pillow cases off the bed and shoves them in there. The doorbell rings. She walks out of the room

INT: Mercury’s Living Room

Mercury opens the door and turns her back with a woman stands there with a black dress and black shoes. Her name is CHOCLATE.

Chocolate-

My name is Chocolate and I’m your two o’clock.

Mercury-

Of course you are Chocolate, come in.

Chocolate walks in and Mercury changes her eyes.

INT: Cass’s living room

Cass is watching Thomas reading something and she looks up. Her dad appears.

Cass-

He’s something.

Dad-

What do you mean?

Cass-

He’s not human.

Dad-

He looks human.

Cass gives Dad a look.

Cass-

You know what I mean.

Cass walks over to Thomas.

Cass-

How long have you lived here?

Thomas-

I move around.

Cass-

Any family?

Thomas-

A father I can’t seem to get rid of.

Cass-

I know the feeling.

Cass turns to her dad who stands there.

Thomas-

Fathers always seem to think that they know everything. Every single thing that make us tick, it’s annoying.

Cass-

You are definitely preaching to the choir.

Cass clashes drink and then a loud scream gets in her head.

INT: Courtney’s living room

Courtney walks in and Paragon is standing there half-naked.

Courtney-

Paragon!

Courtney takes her gun and attaches a silencer on it.

Paragon-

You don’t have to shoot me.

Courtney shoots him in the knee.

Paragon-

That tickles.

Courtney-

If you don’t get out of here, I’m going to move up to your head.

Paragon-

You got my file. You know how much money I got. I could make lawyers materialized and make you an incompetent cop or you could take door number two.

Paragon disappears and stands in back of Courtney then licks her. He rips of her robe and she stands there top naked.

Paragon-

I could give you experiences.

Courtney-

Experiences…..Experience this!

Courtney shoots Paragon in the head and he flies back. The phone rings, she answers it.

Courtney-

(On the Phone)

Hello…What’s wrong Cass?

Courtney looks over and sees that Paragon isn’t there.

Courtney-

I’ll go there and find out what’s going on.

Courtney goes into the bedroom and we see a blood soaked bullet on the table.

INT: Mercury’s House

Mercury is over the body of chocolate and the cops bang down her door.

Five police people barge down the door and Courtney is in the front.

Mercury-

I guess I can’t say I’m innocence.

Cop #1-

Freeze.

Mercury-

No.

Mercury flips the cop of then breaks his neck then holds his head and wrenches it out of the body.

Mercury-

Dear cop, I knew him, pigs, a man of limited death.

Mercury throws the head and then her black wings come out, her hands turned to talons.

Mercury-

I wandered if you will squeal as you die.

(Pauses)

Let’s find out.

EXT: Street

There’s screaming and Cass is outside.

Cass-

All right, I’m not ready to accept you; I could use your help.

Cass’s wings come up and she shoots through the window.

INT: Mercury’s house

As the other cops are dead and Courtney is in the corner. Mercury stalks her and Cass tackles her down. Courtney gets up and sees Cass.

Cass-

Hi.

Courtney is shocked to see this. Mercury tackles Cass and Cass throws her on the other side of the room then leaps but it’s only a short distance and Mercury starts punching at her but Cass ducks them all. Cass punches her in the chest and Mercury flies across the room. Cass walks to her and slams her on the ground. Mercury appears unconscious. Cass looks at Courtney who walks to her.

Cass-

Are you okay?

Courtney-

Did you know?

Cass-

I didn’t think she…

Cass smells something.

Cass-

That bag.

Courtney walks to the bag and opens it to see a broken body and she’s horrified to see that.

Courtney-

What the hell is this?

Cass-

Handcuff her now!

Courtney pulls out her handcuffs and Mercury throws both of them. Mercury files out the window.

Courtney-

Can you catch her?

Cass-

What?

Courtney-

Can you catch her?

Cass-

I don’t have my bike.

Courtney-

I can’t cover for you if you’re at the murder scene. Go!

Cass is about to go.

Cass-

I’ll tell you everything, I promise.

Courtney just nods.

EXT: Outside

Cass files out the window and at the last second before hitting the concrete, she flies.

She opens her eyes and she’s above everything and sees the city. She smiles and then focuses on trying to find Mercury.

Cass-

If I was trying to find a psycho…

She finds her house.

INT: Cass’s house

Mercury sits in her chair and Cass flies right in.

Mercury-

Well…

Cass-

Get out of my chair.

Mercury gets up and runs then blocks her into the wall and punches her with her talons. Mercury goes to punch her again and Cass throws her off. Cass gets ready for a fight.

Cass-

Get out of my house.

Mercury as a sick smile and she walks up to Cass then kisses her on the lips.

Mercury-

You’re not ready yet; you’re getting there.

Mercury walks out.

EXT: Cass’s house- Morning.

Cass is sitting outside as Courtney walks to her and sits to her.

Courtney-

I have never been so creative in explaining a crime scene.

Cass-

How did you…I don’t want to know.

Courtney-

Do you know what Mercury is?

Cass-

I have no idea.

Courtney-

What are you?

Cass looks at Courtney.

Cass-

You’ll think I’m crazy.

Courtney-

(Pauses)

I thought you look a lot like your comic book, you know Hybrid.

(Pauses)

I know I would think you would crazy. If you just told me this…Those wings were coming from your back. That was real.

Cass-

Yeah it was.

Courtney-

Fill in the blanks.

Cass-

It’s going to sound crazy.

Courtney-

Do you want me to take you downtown and have you explain the crime scene?

Cass-

No!

Courtney-

Then tell me.

Cass-

You really want to know.

(Pauses)

When my “saint” of a mother thought I molested my cousin, I shut her out, every single time she would say I’m sorry or anything I like that. I never like drawing and then I just drew. I made hybrid out of lined notebook paper and I spend five hours drawing her. I knew it was her; I knew it was her! When I was eighteen, I was with my boyfriend and you know the rest of the story.

(Pauses)

Hybrid came to me that night and asked me if I wanted her power, I told her no.

(Pauses)

I don’t know the details but Mercury became active and she started to do good with her power. That was nineteen ninety-six.

Courtney-

That was when you were in jail.

Cass-

Then in 2001, when I got out, I saved that woman from a burning building.

(Pauses)

Remember you told me about it. How there were bad wires in her house.

Courtney-

You saved her.

Cass-

However, with that great good, Mercury became evil. I denied the power because it was too much. I tapped into it last night because I wanted to save those cops and you…I knew you were going to be there.

Courtney-

Now I wish I fell asleep.

Cass gives her a look.

Courtney-

Because this sounds insane but it’s the truth and I know you wanted to hide this.

I know you didn’t want to tell anyone.

Cass-

No.

They just stay silent for a minute.

Courtney-

You know this is a way to get over writer’s block.

Cass laughs with Courtney.

Courtney-

What are you going to do?

Cass-

I have no idea.

Courtney-

Well, happy birthday to you.

Cass-

Thanks.

Victor flies into the front door and lands in front of Courtney and Cass.

They both stand up.

Courtney-

You want to take this.

Cass-

Yeah.

Courtney walks inside.

Victor-

I heard you might have tapped into your power.

Cass-

Why would you care?

Victor-

My name is Victor, I’m a guardian, I’m your guardian.

Cass-

Well, you’ve done a shitty job.

Victor-

So have you, in a way.

Cass walks to Victor.

Cass-

I’m not going to be pushed into this power.

Victor-

How do you suppose to accept it on your terms?

Cass-

I’ll think of something. You won’t judge how I get my power, no one will.

Cass turns to see Mom and then turns back to see Victor is gone.

Cass looks to left and sees Mom coming to her right from her car.

Mom meets Cass at the footstep.

Mom-

Happy birthday sweetie!

Cass-

You said it, now go.

Mom is annoyed.

Mom-

Can we just…

Cass-

No.

Mom-

Can you just…

Cass-

No.

Mom-

Let me finish.

Cass-

Fine, finish what you’re going to say then leave.

Mom goes through her purse.

Mom-

I think we should see a shrink together.

Cass-

I don’t think so.

Mom-

I do.

Mom gives her a card.

Mom-

This anger is only going to kill you.

Cass-

(Pauses)

What does not kill me makes me stronger?

Mom-

It will kill you. Don’t you see that?!

Cass-

I think not.

Cass turns and is about to go inside and Mom grabs her arm.

Cass-

Please let go.

Mom-

I will never let go. I will never stop until you forgive me.

Cass turns to mom.

Cass-

Not even if you were dead, I would forgive you.

Cass yanks her arm back and walks back in then close the door. Mom walks down the street and into her car and then someone grabs her by the throat, it’s Mercury.

INT: Car

Mercury licks mom.

Mercury-

Now you’re going to scream.

Mom screams

Mercury-

Very predictable, monkey!

Mercury slaps her.

Mom-

Who are you?

Mercury-

Help. I’m going to help you get closer to your daughter and then I’m going to help myself to smashing her skull in. Then I’m going to smashed yours in.

Mom-

Why don’t you just kill me now?

Mercury-

(Mocks)

Why don’t you just kill me now?

(Pauses)

Quiet, monkey! Drive my wings are tired.

Mom turns the engine and they drive off.

INT: Cass’s living room

Courtney sits down in her chair and Cass looks at Courtney because she sees the look on her face. Cass sits across from her.

Courtney-

Paragon, do you know him?

Cass walks over and touches her head. Cass gets a glimpse of Paragon’s face.

Cass-

He was very interested in my issues.

Courtney-

I’m beginning to think the world you created in your books was really the real world.

Cass-

Who’s the hero?

Courtney pauses for a second.

Courtney-

I think we’re the heroes.

Cass-

How does two ex-criminals become the heroes?

Courtney laughs and shakes her head.

Courtney-

No fucking clue.

Cass pauses and then thinks of something.

Cass-

He had the same smell as Thomas.

Courtney looks at her puzzling.

Cass-

I need to know more about Thomas.

We dissolve to Mercury at the warehouse walking in the warehouse with mom over her shoulder. Back to Cass’s house, there’s a knock on the door and Peter walks in.

Peter-

(He pulls out a tape)

You need to see this. This showed up by the door of my place.

The television turns on and there’s Mercury with a smile on her face.

Mercury-

Can you save them all? Cass. Can you save them all?

Starting in noon, you’re never forget this birthday. Do me a favor Cass? Say yes.

The state of Connecticut is going to witness a level of a state of emergency like you never seen. My pockets are so deep. Say yes Cass. Make this interesting. You got one hour from when you watch it.

The white snows come on.

Peter-

What does she meet?

Cass looks up.

Cass-

Look what you done.

INT: Warehouse

Mercury is sitting in a yoga position and then a door opens and soldiers walked through the door they all lined up.

Mercury-

(Stands up)

You know I think it’s time mankind knew what suffering was.

Now no hostages, just chaos and murder, no hesitation please.

(Pauses)

Now if you are dying, you’re doing it for me and money will be put in your family’s account.

(Pauses)

It will start in one hour because the fight has to be even.

INT: Cass’s Bedroom

Cass is in her room

Mercury-

(Voiceover)

Oh, by the way, I have mommy!

Cass head hurts and then she looks in the mirror then Dad appears.

Dad-

Well…

Cass-

I have to stop her.

Dad-

What are you going to do?

Cass-

I’m going to stop her.

Dad-

What army?

Cass looks at him and her eyes changes.

Cass-

I’m not going to be pushed into this.

Dad-

You have no choice.

Cass-

Yes I have!

Dad-

Humanity needs a hero.

Cass-

I will give humanity a hero but not on Mercury’s terms, on my terms.

Dad-

There’s no time for pride.

Cass-

No. There’s no time for that. However, since God won’t do anything, I will.

Cass walks out of the bathroom.

INT: Living Room

Cass walks in and there’s Courtney with Peter just standing there. Peter looks stunned.

Courtney-

I told him.

Cass looks at Peter.

Cass-

Pete, I…

Peter-

The hero never gives up her secret identity. That’s why you never gave her a name, that’s why you never showed her face. That’s why I never gave that psycho issue number five.

(Pauses)

It was you all along.

Cass smiles at that and she shakes her head.

Courtney-

Do you know anything about her plan?

Cass-

She told me that she had my mother.

Peter-

It’s like blinding headache whenever your enemy talks to you.

Cass shakes her head at Peter.

Cass-

It is. When she told me about my mother, I tapped into her mind and found out her plan.

Peter-

What was that?

Cass-

She has one hundred soldiers. Five of them are going to the church down the street from here. Thirty two are going to the busiest streets and going to kill anyone.

Thirty two are going to go to the Trumbull mall and start knocking people off. Thirty-one are going to go to the merit parkway and kill people while driving.

Peter-

(Whispers)

Pablo…

Cass-

What?

Peter-

Nothing, it’s nothing.

Courtney-

I could secure the mall and the street.

Peter-

I could get the Parkway. (Pauses)

I’ll have help.

Peter leaves.

Courtney-

Are you going to accept the power?

Cass-

You just go.

EXT: Roof

Cass walks to edge.

Cass-

All right, you want me to have this power, show me why?

Cass backs up then runs to the edge and jumps off and then the wings come then she flies.

INT: Church

Five of Mercury’s soldiers run into the church and they look around with there guns ready. The Minister walks in.

Solider#1-

Stay where you are.

Minister pulls up his hand and puts it on his head.

EXT: Real Deal

Victor is standing outside where Peter runs in and he becomes to un-lock the place.

Victor-

You’re late opening.

Peter-

I’ve had a seriously screwed up morning.

Victor-

Let me guess.

Peter-

You couldn’t possibly guess.

Victor-

Did it involve some psycho saying she was going to create violence throughout the city? She has one hundred people working with her and they are all men or women.

They are ages eighteen through thirty-five.

(Pauses)

We could win.

Peter looks stunned at what Victor knows.

Peter-

What could we do?

Victor-

How fast you could drive?

Victor smiles and they walk off.

INT: Police station

The door open wide and there a hundreds of police coming out of it and as they get into there trucks. Courtney walks out with a shotgun and guns on each side.

Courtney-

I believe it’s a good day to die or not.

Courtney walks into her car.

INT: Church

Cass walks in and she looks around to see where everyone is at.

Cass-

I know you’re in. This party is over so come out.

Five people in black head to toe with guns and the minister is sitting down with his hands on his head.

Solider#1-

Surrender and come with us. Many lives will be spare.

Cass-

Sorry, don’t believe you.

Cass runs and grabs the one by the neck and takes away his gun. She shoots all four of them in there head. She throws Solider#1 to the ground and then looks to see that there all dead and then turns to Solider#1 laughs.

Solider#1-

She thought you might borrowed her power.

(Pauses)

So she dipped the bullets in her blood for this effect.

All the soldiers get up and they all start to change in demonic creatures.

Cass-

Come on bitches! Fight me.

They all go towards her.

INT: Car

Peter drives with Victor very calm

Peter-

How could you be so calm?

Victor-

No reason to worry.

Peter-

How do you know?

Victor-

I’ve seen it all.

Peter looks at him like “What the Fuck” and Victor smiles.

Peter-

What have you seen?

Victor-

I’ve seen the future.

Peter-

You know you sound a lot like the guy in the comic.

Victor looks at him like “What do you think”?

Peter-

You are the guy in the comic.

Victor-

Yes I am

Peter-

That’s why you have a thing for Cass.

Victor-

Yes I do. However, it’s more of a guardian relationship.

Peter-

What?

Victor-

Cass misinterpreted it because she doesn’t believe in us. She doesn’t believe in angels because of her “mother”.

Peter-

Oh, I see now.

Victor-

Besides I love another.

Peter-

Who?

Victor-

I can’t tell you that.

Peter-

Why not?! You all ready told me stuff which if it was any other day I would think of it a little insane!

Victor-

Trust me. You’ll see.

Peter gives him that look.

INT: Church

Minister is doing prayers and all of the demonic creatures are all torn up to pieces and all over the inside of the church. Cass catches her breath.

Minister-

What are you child?

Cass gives him a look.

Cass-

I’m not your child.

Cass sits in the middle of the church and sits in the middle in a yoga position.

She looks up and Paragon stands there with a smile. He starts clapping his hands.

Paragon-

Well done writer.

Cass-

The name is Cass.

Paragon-

Don’t you mean Hybrid, writer!

Cass charges him and gets knocked on her ass. Cass uppercuts him and it doesn’t move him one inch. Paragon goes to punch her and Cass ducks then kicks him in the stomach. Paragon backslaps her across the room. Paragon flies to her.

Paragon-

Join me in my bed, by my side and every way that counts.

Cass eyes change and she punches him that he flies through the wall.

INT: Montage

Courtney is driving. Peter is driving with Victor and we see them in the shot.

Cass-

(Voiceover)

Attention everyone. All right why I got from the soldiers is the following:

The ones in the highway will be driving sliver camaros. They will have no license plate on it because they want the cops to put them over.

(Pauses)

They also are packing bullets that were drenched in blood, mercury’s blood.

If a human get hit with the bullet and dies, they will die and will shift into demonic creatures. If they live, I don’t know what’s going to happened. We have fifteen minutes, before they will start open fire.

(Pauses)

Don’t get hit but if everyone dies, do you best to contain it and I’ll be there to clean it up.

(Pauses)

If any of you dies, I love you all and it was my honor to know you all. I may never see you again because I believe; I’m going to hell, so I’m going to reserve my spot.

INT: Car

Peter looks at Victor.

Peter-

Are we…

Victor-

It looks good.

(Pauses)

If you were to die, I’ll put in good word for you.

Peter laughs at that and Victor smiles.

INT: Church

Minister just stand there shocked as Cass is walking.

Minister-

It’s the apocalypse! We are all going straight to hell if we don’t confess.

Cass stops and her eyes changes. Cass walks to the minister and shoves him to the side.

Cass looks at the cross

Cass-

I hate you for everything you put me through.

(Pauses)

I hate you for it all and you know if lives weren’t hanging in the balance, I were walk away.

Cass walks out and Thomas walks in. Cass stops.

Thomas-

Hi.

Cass-

Hi.

Thomas looks around.

Thomas-

What’s going on?

Cass-

You and the man who went through the wall, had the same smell, what are you?

Thomas-

I could lie to you.

Cass-

You won’t.

Thomas-

I’m a born vampire and I’m one thousand and eight hundred and seven years old.

Cass looks him up and down.

Cass-

You look great for your age.

Thomas-

Thanks.

Cass looks around.

Cass-

How’s your faith these days? Especially your blind type of faith; how is it these days?

Thomas

Tell me what went on.

Cass-

(Pauses)

This is my fault. Ever since I was eighteen years old, I set this motion because I didn’t accept this power.

Cass shows her wings.

Thomas-

One black, one white.

Cass nods.

Cass

I have to go.

Thomas-

Please wait for a second.

Cass-

What?

Thomas-

Can I drive you?

Cass thinks about it and makes her wings go back.

Cass-

What are you driving?

Thomas-

The Porsche.

Cass-

If I tell you to stop…

Thomas-

Anything you say Hybrid.

Cass-

Don’t call me that!

Thomas-

Sorry Cass.

Cass-

Come on

Cass and Thomas walks out of the church.

Mercury-

Will you please shut the hell up?

Mercury walks to her seat and continues to polish her boots and looks up.

Mercury-

You know being evil is not as it cracked up to me.

(Pauses)

I mean, yes everyone is scared of you and it’s cool. You know if she accepts her power then we could have been dorm mates and then she would have this cool new power then I would have killed her.

(Pauses)

Being evil is better.

INT: Car

They are parked on the street and Thomas looks at Cass.

Thomas-

Feel anything.

Cass-

No.

Cass is looking outside and she’s a man dressed in black walking down the street and another man walking on the other side of the street they are pulling out something.

Cass-

There they are.

Thomas-

Cass-

They are in black and on opposite sides of the street.

Cass looks over and Thomas is beating the shit out of the other guys without breaking a sweat, she smiles and then stops smiling.

Cass-

Come on.

Courtney is following three people in the black and she pulls out two guns from behind her. The three people in black pull out there guns from the back and Courtney shoots all three of them then goes around the corner and sees someone about to kill a kid and shoots that one in the head. Someone pulls out a machine gun and begins to fire away at a couple and Courtney knocks them down while dodging the bullets.

He looks to see that three others saw him and they drive away. He flies into one car and slams into it and knocks over the other two. They explode all together.

Victor-

That’s good.

Four other sliver Camaros just driving off and Victor files to the one on the left of them and he crashed into the back of the car and sits down on the passenger side.

The woman goes for her gun and he puts his finger on his mouth and she goes to sleep.

He gets in the driver seat and starts driving then speed ahead of them then angles the car to block them all. Victor leaves and they all smash into that car. Victor shakes his head and then ahead of him there’s twenty-six Camaros way down the highway.

Victor just stares at them.

He just let a girl knock him out.

The guy lies there dead. Cass sees two other about to open fire and she takes the kid out of the way then she flies to them both and takes them both out with a flying outside crescent kick to one and then the other. Cass turns and sees Thomas waving at her. A man in black comes to the other side and is about to pull a gun and shoots it but it hits the mailbox. Thomas gets out of the car and tackle the guy, he hits traffic. Cass looks at him and she gets into the car and they drive off.

The cars are approaching him fast and he just keeps flapping his wings over and over again then they go on the own and are flapping faster. The cars starts slowing down and they go backwards. He keeps flapping them faster and faster then the cars starts flying back and start exploding every single time they fly one explodes. One by one they start to explode over and over again.

Courtney-

If they move, keep shooting.

Cass is on the street and a cop approaches her.

Cop-

Thomas-

No.

Cass-

Good.

Thomas-

Was that everyone?

Cass-

Yeah.

Thomas looks unsure.

Thomas-

You were great.

Cass-

You too, you were great too.

Cass looks at him and smiles.

Thomas-

If you had a shot to kill someone, why hesitate?

Cass-

I don’t understand.

Thomas-

They were hesitating.

Cass looks at them.

Cass-

This was all a show.

Cass runs to the car and Thomas follows.

Mercury-

I never fought an angel.

Victor-

There’s a first time for everything.

Mercury-

Yes there is.

Victor-

You want to talk, do you want to fight?

Mercury and Victor exchange punches left and right they connect but they do no damage to Victor but some to her. Mercury kicks him in the mouth and then in the stomach and Victor falls back.

This city doesn’t need demons.

Cass runs in

Cass-

Where are they?

Courtney-

They flew off.

Cass is about to fly.

Courtney-

Too many cops and there’s all ready going to be too many questions.

Cass-

What should we do?

Courtney-

Could you track them?

Cass-

I don’t know. I won’t know unless I accept the power.

Courtney-

Forgive me. What are you waiting for?

Cass can’t answer that question because she doesn’t know the answer to the question herself.

Cass-

What do you know about the two?

Courtney-

Not good.

Cass-

Why?

Courtney-

They were Terra’s parents. The girl who…

Cass-

Cass looks horrified.

Cass-

Oh, fuck.

However, two demons stops him from doing that and they savagely beat him up then Mercury claps her hands, they stop. She transforms and they all fly away.

Victor-

That’s right. You better fly away.

Victor falls on his face

INT: Cass’s living room

Cass is sitting down with Peter and Thomas sitting across from her.

Courtney is by the door and there’s a knock on it, there’s Victor limping into the house. He sits down. Courtney gets off the phone.

Courtney-

I just got off the phone with my captain and he needs answers.

None of the people we caught are talking and they lawyer up.

They told them they were doing her work.

They won’t go into specifies on who her is.

Peter-

I’m lucky to be alive.

Thomas-

We are all.

Peter-

You know when that car flipped, I saw my life pass before my eyes and it was scary.

Victor-

Well, Mercury is going to come up with another plan.

Courtney-

We have to take the fight to her.

Cass gets up and takes the chair then pounds it to the ground.

Cass-

She’s pushing me in her corner.

Peter-

She is.

Courtney-

What are you going to do about it?

Cass-

(Turns around)

Kill her…as human. No more wings or borrowing. I’m going to kill her as a human.

Mercury-

(Voiceover)

I weren’t do that if I were you.

Cass holds her head.

Cass-

What the fuck do you want?

Mercury-

(Voiceover)

I want you.

Cass-

You are not going to push me into this.

Mercury-

(Voiceover)

You always decided my fate.

Cass-

You could have stopped it! You could have refuse!

You didn’t have to be evil! You stupid bitch!

You didn’t have to go into the darkness! Free will!

It’s silent.

Victor-

That’s true.

Cass-

What you don’t have anything smart to say?

Mercury-

(Voiceover)

Your right, I could have chosen to fight it.

I’m not that strong. I mean, I am…You know what I mean.

Cass walks to her seat.

Mercury-

(Voiceover)

What would you do if she was dead?

Cass-

Who?

Mercury-

(Voiceover)

Your mother, the one who accuse you, that bitch!

Cass-

Don’t you…

Mercury-

(Voiceover)

Why threatened me? Thank me!

Cass-

I’m going to decided when she dies.

Mercury-

(Voiceover)

If you want to stop me, stop me in an hour.

Cass holds her head.

Cass-

She’s got my mother.

Victor looks at Cass.

Victor-

What are you going to do?

Cass smiles at Victor.

Cass-

Fight. I’m going to fight.

Courtney-

I want in.

Peter-

I want in.

Thomas-

Same here, I want in.

Cass gets up and looks them all.

Cass-

No!

Courtney-

Yes. I want in. All through your prison time, I watched your back from the outside looking in. Mainly because I’m a criminal just like you and we are both still destined for greatness. I want to see that through.

Peter-

My life is boring without you. If I die, damn, I all ready left Real Deal to you and I want to be a hero.

Thomas-

Come on, I have nothing else to do, I’m a master vampire.

Cass laughs.

Cass-

You could die.

Courtney walks to her.

Courtney-

I want to say this.

Cass-

What?

Courtney-

Accept it, your Hybrid.

Cass-

I’m not afraid of being Hybrid, I’m afraid of losing who Cass is.

Courtney shakes as she looks like she understands.

Courtney-

We’re here for Cass, which is you. You could deal with Hybrid because we believe in you.

Courtney hugs Cass and Victor smiles then he slowly walks off and leaves.

INT: Mercury’s warehouse

Mercury pets her demonic creatures which are two and there’s several others that are roaming around.

Mercury-

My blood could do so much.

(Pauses)

You see, my mission was clear caused a big spectacle but only have my soldiers killed two and the rest of you were enough to build an army.

(Pauses)

My family is here.

INT: Cass’s bathroom

Cass throws water on her face and she looks there’s Dad.

Cass-

What do you want?

Dad-

You’re going to war with mortals on your side.

Cass shakes her head.

Dad-

Good.

Cass-

I thought you approve.

Dad-

Are you going to save her?

Dad looks at her and Cass looks back.

Cass-

I don’t know yet.

Dad-

Why do you have to think about it?

Cass-

I don’t know…I don’t know why I have to think about it. Actually, I will save her.

Dad-

Why?

Cass

Because I want to live a long time and constantly shut her out of my life while she’s alive.

Dad-

Bitterness doesn’t become you.

Cass punches the wall and pulls it out.

Cass-

Yeah, but it feels right.

Cass leaves the bathroom and Dad just shakes her head.

EXT: Outside

There are several guards outside and there’s Cass standing on something high looking out at everyone. Cass drops down and walks up to the guards and they aim at her.

Cass-

Relax boys or die.

Shots ring out and all of them die. Cass eyes changes colors and she looks in the warehouse. Courtney walks out with a high-powered rifle.

Courtney-

What do you see?

Cass-

Several demons in there dressed as humans.

Courtney-

What do you mean dressed?

Cass-

They were shot, they changed but she changed them back so I were have a hard time killing them.

Courtney gives her a look.

Courtney-

What do we do?

Cass-

Let me go in and you come with me.

(Pauses)

Load with the special bullets.

Courtney re-loads the gun and they walk in.

INT: Warehouse

Courtney as the gun read and is side to side with Cass.

Cass-

This is too quiet.

There’s a clearing and we see all the demons plus four soldiers out there in front of Mercury.

Mercury-

Hello birthday girl.

Cass looks over to see her mother in a cage.

Cass-

You know the odds are in your favor.

Courtney-

But I’m a good shot.

Mercury walks down to where Cass is and walks to her.

Mercury-

I know those bullets were blessed and dip in holy water.

(Pauses)

Predictable, I’m disappointed.

Cass and Courtney laughs then they abruptly stop.

Courtney-

Now would we come in and have a predictable plan?

Mercury-

You’re human. Of Course you will. You’re going to use those on them, change.

The demonic creatures change back.

Mercury-

Now shoot unarmed civilians because there going to stay that way for you and you.

Cass gives her a confident look. Cass aims her gun at Mercury and throws it to Peter who comes in with the aim.

Cass-

Aim it Peter.

Peter aims the gun at Mom.

Mom-

What are you doing?

Courtney-

What are you doing?

Cass-

You think I care about my mother. You haven’t done your homework.

(Pauses)

She scarred me more than a rapist or a sexual deviant.

(Pauses)

Do you think I wouldn’t shoot her?

Courtney-

What are you doing?

Cass-

I’m taking her out.

Mercury-

(Confused)

What…I mean, good. I mean, no!

Cass-

That’s right, I don’t become hybrid if they kill my one source of anger and betrayal, I’ll take the cancer out.

Courtney puts down the gun.

Courtney-

Don’t do this.

Cass-

I’m not going to let her choose when I become Hybrid.

Courtney-

You can’t kill her, she’s unarmed.

Cass-

Why?

Courtney-

I want to shoot her.

Cass smiles and Courtney aims at her.

Cass-

Now, you got two people on my mother ready to commit cold blooded murder and I don’t become Hybrid.

Thomas drives in and breaks the warehouse door. Thomas gets out of the car.

Thomas-

Wait! I’ve been listening and I just have one question…

Cass-

What?

Thomas-

Where’s my gun? Wait. I don’t need one.

Thomas transformed into his vampire self and flies around her. She circles over and over again while mom screams then he goes back down.

Thomas-

I’ll take the gun.

Thomas changes back to human and hold the gun up there.

Thomas-

I think I’ll shoot her in the head.

Courtney-

I got the head, I have a clear shot.

Mercury-

This is not how it supposed to happen

Cass stares at Mercury with a faint smile.

Cass-

I’m in control.

Thomas-

I get the heart.

Courtney-

You could have the heart.

Peter-

I want the heart, it has the most blood.

Mercury-

This is not how it supposed to happen!

Cass-

You want it…

Cass pulls out her gun and aims it up there then looks at Mercury.

Cass-

Fire!

They all fire there guns and Mercury just stands there. They stop firing and they look up to see that mom is still standing and she doesn’t have a mark on her.

Cass-

I accept the power.

Cass feels the pain and she goes on one knee. They cover her. Mercury shakes her head because she’s pissed and they all changed there chambers. One flies up and Courtney shoots it and it falls down. It screams and then it melts. Mercury feels that pain and is on one knee. Cass stands up and her wings are out with blue eyes. She has claws on her hand and is top naked with her mouth has sharp teeth.

Mercury-

Let’s fight.

Mercury transforms and they both fly then break the ceiling. Terra parents begin to fly. Courtney and Peter shoot them in the legs and they falls down. The rest go after them and they begin to run in different directions.

EXT: On top of the warehouse

Mercury and Hybrid are growling and they rammed into each other. Hybrid throws her and Mercury lands on feet. Mercury charges after Hybrid and Hybrid flips over her then take her by the wings and slams her on the roof. They exchange punches with Hybrid getting the best of the exchange.

INT: Warehouse

Mercury is getting the best of her and slams her over and over on the roof then throws in the air. Hybrid gets her bearings and flies in to charge her, she tackles Hybrid down. They just start punching each other over and over. Mercury gets the best of her then after a block Hybrid throws her then she starts to kick her over and over. Mercury returns with kicks of her own.

INT: Clearing

Courtney walks to where Terra’s parents are pulling out the bullets and trying to stand up. Courtney reloads her gun.

Terra’s father-

You’re not going to shoot us.

Terra’s mother-

You’re a police officer.

Terra’s father-

You’re supposed to withhold the law.

Terra’s mother-

You can’t kill us.

Terra’s Father-

What about our daughter? She’s going to be all alone.

Courtney has a sad look on her face.

EXT: On Top of the warehouse.

Hybrid looks down to see Courtney is about to shoot and Mercury charges.

Hybrid grabs her by the throat and raises her arm then delivers a choke slam that goes through the roof and on the ground which breaks beneath Mercury as she lands and sinks down twenty-one feet. We see Mercury being drilled underneath the earth and then she stops.

INT: Clearing

Courtney still as her aim on the parents and hybrid sees this. Hybrid shift back to Cass.

Cass-

What are you doing?

Courtney-

There not human anymore.

Cass-

Don’t do this.

Courtney-

I can’t have them leave.

Cass-

You can’t kill them. You’re not a killer. You can’t kill them in this form.

Courtney looks at Cass and she smiles. Courtney gives her the gun

Courtney-

Come and get me.

Courtney runs and she hops into a car and drives off.

Cass-

Good luck, my friend.

Cass waits and Mercury climbs out with blood all over her.

Mercury-

That was awesome.

(Pauses)

What else you got?

Cass-

Stick around.

Cass changes again and they flight.

EXT: Street/INT: Car

Courtney-

What are you?

Victor-

Angel. Fallen angel and we’re not all bad.

Courtney-

What am I going to do?

Victor-

You’re going to keep dancing and I will take care of those two.

Courtney-

No.

Victor-

It’s two against one. I could take those odds.

Courtney-

No. I don’t leave anyone behind with those odds.

Cass-

What do we do?

Mercury kicks her in the head harder and makes Cass fall.

Mercury-

Make you bad.

Mercury-

Make you really bad.

Cass smiles as she kicks the gun out of her hand and Cass hands changed into a claw.

She goes through Mercury’s chest and Mercury screams makes the windows break.

INT: Church

The demons fly and Victor with Courtney wait with swords.

Courtney throws the sword up and Victor flies grabs that then sticks them both with bot sword in each of his hand.

Victor-

They turned from demonic to human and they fall. Victor flies down and looks at Courtney.

Victor-

Thank you.

Courtney-

You’re welcome.

INT: Warehouse

Cass pulls her black heart out and Mercury slumps over. Cass throws it down and it lands then magically goes back in Mercury’s chest.

Cass-

You got to be kidding me.

Mercury slowly gets up.

Mercury-

You can’t kill me.

Cass-

Why not?

Mercury-

Asked your angel that question…

Cass changes to hybrid and she throws Mercury into the cerement mixer.

Mercury slides out and tries to walk out of there but quickly turns to stone.

Hybrid-

That’ll work for now.

Hybrid takes the Mercury filled tomb and puts it in the hole then drives the cerement truck to the hole and fills it up.

Hybrid-

I’ll find a way.

Victor walks outside. Peter walks to her.

Peter-

I guess you can’t complain about writer’s block.

Cass laughs at him and looks at Thomas.

Thomas-

You are very unique person Cass.

Cass-

Listen…

Thomas-

I want to start seeing you with me…

Thomas walks away. Courtney walks to her.

Courtney-

I assist in killing her parents.

Cass-

Courtney-

Why? I didn’t kill humans.

Cass-

We have to talk about that.

Courtney-

No words. We know shared a responsibility.

Courtney walks out as well

EXT: Outside

They all sit down.

Courtney-

Did she kill her?

Victor-

She slowed her down.

Peter-

Oh fuck, does that mean?

Victor-

Yes.

Thomas-

What’s going on in there?

INT: Living Room

Mom walks away and sits down. Cass tries to approach her and mom keeps stepping away.

Mom-

You’re not my daughter.

Cass-

Yes I am.

Mom-

My daughter wouldn’t change into that monster you were.

Cass-

You mean the monster you created.

Mom-

You accepted the devil.

Cass-

No mom. I created it and it’s been my other parent that you never were!

It never accuses me of something so awful.

It never rushed me!

It never accused me of causing my father’s heart attack and it never was such a poser like you are.

Mom stands up.

Mom-

So this is my fault. You can’t accept responsibility of what you’ve done.

(Pauses)

You are now bound for hell.

Cass-

You first, bitch.

(Pauses)

Pride is not a heavenly behavior.

Mom slaps her and Cass eyes changes then Mom steps back.

Cass-

You want to be violent with me!

(Pauses)

Hit me again and I’ll take your fucking head off!

Mom falls down and is scared. Cass crawls on the ground.

Cass-

The world of darkness knows my name and you make me want to jump to join that world.

(Pauses)

But I won’t.

Cass stands up.

Mom-

You are not my child. (Pauses)

You are not my child!

Cass smiles at her.

Cass-

But I am your child and if one day you have a heart attack because of it then it’s on you.

Mom runs away and Dad appears.

Dad-

What a birthday!

Cass sits down.

Dad-

Why are you sad now?

Cass-

I’m sad about Terra.

Dad-

When she wakes up, you’re worried about how she will feel.

Cass-

She’s going to come after me and my family.

Dad-

Your last issue you said, “What would happen if you had a normal childhood and your mother never accuse you? Then you said, what happens if you forgive her?

Victor-

If you forgive you mother or Terra forgives you then the next time Mercury comes up, she can be killed by pulling out her heart. If you forgive your mother, it has to be sincere.

If the link is destroy then Mercury can die.
