Hey, Virgil, do you think you could tutor me?

Hey, Virgil, do you think you could tutor me?
Me?
Him?
Do you know what hanging with Derek "D.B." Barnett's going to do to my rep?
Uh, start it?
Proud of you for helping Derek, Virgil.
Pops, when you get touched with genius, you gotta share the gift... Besides thanks to him, I'm finally meeting cheerleaders.
Yeah, it's great! It's called the 'butter diet!'
Am I seeing things, or did I just get jacked by a girl with feathers?! (sniffs his sleeve) Aww, man, my gear smells like Chinese takeout.
(off screen) Hey, Electric-Boy.
[Static sees Shiv's attack coming at him and dodges in time, jumps and lands safely]
Nice one Super-Shocker, or whatever your name is.
What are you doing here?
I... asked you first.
It's running away!
No. Just looking for more food, and the whole city's on the menu.
What are you gonna do?
Spoil its appetite!
[Virgil and Richie are walking down an empty street through an area of a city block with abandoned and condemned buildings.]
Where're you taking me, Richie?
Patience, we're almost there. It'll be easier when we're old enough to drive
Hey, we could have gotten on my disk and flown.
Well, no disrespect, but I've seen you fall off that thing.
One time, and they were shooting at me!
We're here.
[Richie and Virgil have stopped walking to see where Richie had brought Virgil to see, an abandoned gas station and garage.]
(completely unimpressed) We're where?
Your secret headquarters--every hero has to have a secret headquarters. (runs across the street to the empty gas station) Come-on.
[It's dark inside the old gas station as Richie and Virgil both enter.]
Hit the lights and peep your eyes.
[Virgil uses his powers to supply energy to the lights hanging off of the ceiling, lighting up the room they are in.]
(looks around) You gotta be kidding me. (moves around to look through boarded windows) You'd have to renovate before this place could even qualify as a dump.
Oh, come-on, Virg', use your imagination; right now this place might be a broken down, rat-infested...
(interrupts) Rat-infested?!
We'll get some traps. The point is, with a little work, this could be the nerve-center of our entire superhero operation
And what would we call it, the Abandoned Gas Station of Solitude.
(sarcastically to himself) Ahh, that's funny. (to Virgil) Hey, I'd have built us a tree-house if I had a tree.
I wish I could just go out and rent a decent headquarters, but that takes money.
Nobody ever said the superhero gig would be a profit center.
(in agreement) Yeah, but it's costing me; I keep tearing my costume, melting my shoes.
[Static is trying to stop Rubber-Band Man from assaulting a Rapper after having just caught the car out of mid-air and landed it safely on the ground.]
Howabout we go all-radical, sit down and talk about it.
(holds his fist up) I don't think so, Sparky! (punches Static)
(recovers) Be that way! (hits Rubber-Band Man with a 'Taser-Punch')
[Static's 'Taser-Punch' sends Rubber-Band Man's head up as his neck stretches before he recovers too.]
Nice shot, but rubber's an insulator, so your electrical powers can't really hurt me...
[Rubber-Band Man's words trail off as the limo of the Rap Artist that he had just hounded down starts up and drives off to get away.]
Oh, no you don't.
[Rubber-Band Man stretches his hand and arm after the limo before it can get too far. As Rubber-Band Man strains to hold on to the limo, Static builds up a charge to use against the Rubber-Band Man before he can hurt someone.]
Let me tell you something about electricity; a big enough charge can overload any insulator.
[After the fight the night before, Virgil is still feeling the after-effects, and takes a shower to freshen up.]
Oh, My head... Note to self: Avoid playing catch with flying automobiles.
(banging her hand on the locked bathroom door) Virgil Ovid Hawkins, get your ashky butt out here right this minute...
(unlocks the door and sticks his head out) Sharon! My middle name is never to be spoken aloud, you know that! (sticks his bed back into the bathroom and slams the door closed)
[Adam Evans, a talented music writer in his late teens is fuming that the music tracks he had submitted to record company have been used in a top-of-the-charts #1 hit, but he has not received any money, credit or acknowledgement for his music. After making a scene in a Burger Fool, Adam decides to go after the Rapper again directly.]
(fuming) Nobody steals from me and gets away with it, Ice Pack's gonna give me my due, (morphs into Rubber-Band Man,) or he's in for a real bad stretch...
'Kawarimi; ancient Ninja art of misdirection. All you need is something some idiot can mistake you for... and some idiot!
(talks quickly, like he's on a sugar rush) ...Dad, your not gonna believe it, but a big, black, icky gunk-thing coming out the floor, and it's getting bigger and bigger like a big balloon...
You drinking too much sugar again...
