[While torturing Andre with a high-frequency sound emitter]
BBob
Did you know supes have a wider range of hearing than us? Like dogs. [He turns up the sound as Andre groans in pain; a female guard appears behind him]
I5Intruder #5
Hey, Bob. Turn it off.
I5Intruder #5
I said, turn it off, Bob. Right fucking now. [She switches it off and holds up her flashlight]
I5Intruder #5
I'll tell you what I'm doing, Bob. First, you're gonna get this flashlight nice and wet with your slutty fucking mouth.
BBob
What the fuck is wrong with you?
I5Intruder #5
Then I'm gonna stuff it right up your tight little chocolate starfish until you see God. [Cate suddenly appears behind Bob and touches him, pushing him with her mind]
Do it. You know you want to.
Andre Anderson
[Bewildered] The fuck...?
BBob
Gimme that fucking flashlight! [Gets down on his knees and starts sucking enthusiastically]
SBSoldier Boy
What are you greasy sack of fuck nuts doing in here?
Andre Anderson
What in the fuck?
Soldier Boy? What are you doing in here?
SBSoldier Boy
I’m Cate’s imaginary friend from when she was a kid. Boyfriend, really. I taught her how to jerk off. Diddle that Skittle. Flick the bean. How to find that man in the canoe. She came like a faucet. She’d crank up the Jonas Brothers and she’d hump a Soldier Boy pillow. She’d raw-dog that pillow till she saw God.
SBSoldier Boy
It was pretty romantic.
JLJordan Li
[Extends a fist-bump] Hell yeah, brother.
SBSoldier Boy
[Ignores fist-bump extension] Shut the fuck up.
Andre Anderson
Fuck you. She... she just didn’t like, she didn’t like Jonas Brothers, was all.
SBSoldier Boy
I know you. Yeah, you’re Cate’s new fuckboy. She really loves you. But whatever. Boys, they come and go. But she always comes back to a little... pillow talk. [Clicks tongue]
Andre Anderson
Fuck you. You’re a Russian agent is what you are.
Andre. Bigger shit going on right now.
SBSoldier Boy
What the hell you talking about?
JLJordan Li
Turns out you were radicalized by the Russians.
SBSoldier Boy
Fuck you. I’m no godless, dickless commie. I’m red-blooded. But not commie red. Red-white-and-blue red. I fart “The Star-Spangled Banner.”
Andre Anderson
You’re pretty fucking weird, dude.
SBSoldier Boy
Yeah? Knock knock. Who’s there? Go fuck your face.
PRProf. Rich Brinkerhoff
Jordan. What do I always say, huh? Being a hero, it’s not about the glory. It’s about...
FJFemale Jordan Li
It’s about sacrifice. I know, sir, but what the hell kind of sacrifice was that?
PRProf. Rich Brinkerhoff
Well, Luke... Luke needs cutting-edge treatments, put him over the edge. That boy could be Homelander strong. But sometimes... sometimes he has a bad reaction.
FJFemale Jordan Li
If Luke’s getting cutting-edge treatments, I want ’em, too.
Andre Anderson
Always looking out for yourself, huh?
PRProf. Rich Brinkerhoff
[Chuckles] Kid, you got a strong head. You don’t need ’em. Tell me, do you remember sitting in that chair, a scared-shitless freshman who never wanted to switch? And I promised that I would always take good care of you. Remember? Now... [puts hand on her shoulder] Jordan, people just don’t understand the lows it takes to reach great heights. And so now I want you to promise me, as my new T.A., that you will always protect me. Not a word of this to anyone.
FJFemale Jordan Li
You’re making me your T.A.?
That’s how you became Brink’s gatekeeper?
PRProf. Rich Brinkerhoff
Of course. Because you’ve earned it. Can I trust you?
FJFemale Jordan Li
Yes, sir. I’m honored. [They hug]
So you knew! You knew Golden Boy attacked Brink before!
MJMale Jordan Li
I don’t know what I knew!
Andre Anderson
Looks like you knew a lot!
MJMale Jordan Li
He said he was juicing Golden Boy! What would any of you done?
Andre Anderson
Something, Jordan!
