B: Batman/Bruce Wayne R: Robin/Tim Drake K: Kurt Wagner/Nightcrawler

T: Tony Stark/Ironman C: Clark Kent (S: Superman) L: Logan/Wolverine

A: Alfred Pennyworth Loi: Lois Lane Sc: Scott Summers (Cyclops) J: Jean Grey Pep: Pepper Potts (Iron Man's assistant) St: Ororo Monroe (Storm) Ki: Kitty Pryde (Shadowcat)

Team: Tony and Clark/Superman Location: ... depends on when you see them...

T: Clark! We need to slow this thing down!

C: I can't stop it!

T: Well go into superhero mode or something and pull the brake before we're pancakes in Bruce's basement!

C: We hit something a moment ago! It must have broken the brakes clean off!

T: Well do something!

C: We'll just have to jump right as it hits the ground!

T: What?

C: Ready?

T: Whoa! Wait a minute how's jumping going to-

C: Set!

T: It's not going to help, Clark!

C: JUMP!

BOOOOOOM

(the elevator rattles around them but they are unharmed except for being knocked off their feet)

C: Hmmm... jumping doesn't seem to have helped much.

T: I tried to tell you... (gruntshove) Get off me!

(Clark presses the "open doors" button and the doors slide open to reveal about a foot of wall above the entrance to the basement.)

C: We must have landed on something.

T: Look, Clark, I really don't care what we've landed on right now. All I want to do is get out of this maze and back to the ballroom. You think you can handle that?

C: Sure, hop back in. I saw the ballroom on our way down.

T: No way! This time we take the stairs.

C: Fine, fine, but don't you think we should check and see what we landed on first?

T: Why? It's probably just some old laundry or something.

C: Or his cat.

T: Ouch... that'd be awkward. Okay, lets check.

S: I'll lift it up and you pull out whatever foul creature is hidden beneath!

T: Oka- Clark?

S: What? I'm not Clark Kent! I'm... SUPE-

T: Yes, I know that! It's just a little disturbing when you change like that.

S: Sorry! But it must be done for the betterment of mankind!

T: Right... anyway, lets get this over with.

(Superman lifts up the elevator and Tony peers underneath.)

T: Oh... my... gosh...

Team: Bruce and Alfred Location: Living room, sipping coffee and enjoying the peace.

B: How do you think they're doing?

A: I'd say they're nearly finished by now, Master Wayne. Then again they may have run into some trouble.

(Just then, a loud boom of thunder makes both Batman and Alfred jump. The

doors swoosh open and Storm... "storms" in. She's holding Kurt and Robin next

to her by the backs of their shirts and she looks furious.)

St: Bruce Wayne! I am very disappointed in you! Letting these two drive around to who knows where without any supervision? What if someone saw Kurt? I hope you have a very good explanation for this?

B:...They were what?

R: Hey... Bruce... ummm...

St: You stay quiet! You're in enough trouble as it is!

B: (glowers at Robin) Yes he is... And I can assure you, Ororo, it won't happen again.

K: Especially if ve don't survi-

St: As for you, the professor will want to hear about this!

K: (cowers)

B: Okay... (sighs) everybody should be about done with the scavenger hunt by now, so-

(At that moment, a terrible scream echoes around the room growing louder and

louder and accompanied by enough thumps and bangs to make a herd of

elephants a real possibility. Moments later, Scott comes shooting off the stairs

on top of a mattress and hugging a life size stuffed bear. The mattress flies

past the startled group in the living room and slams into the far wall with a

BANG. The rest of Scott's loot comes tumbling down the stairs after him...

Everyone stares for a moment... Scott, his face still embedded in the wall,

doesn't move.)

St: Scott?

Sc: (muffled) ...ow...

A: Shall I fetch the first aid kit, sir?

B: Yes, Alfred, I think we'll need the big one this time...

(Jean, Lois, Pepper and Kitty all enter carrying three large shopping bags and chatting cheerfully. They stop at the sight of the wreckage.)

Ki: Whoa... what happened here?

J: Scott! (runs over)

Sc: (still muffled and strained) ... m'fine... r'lly...

Pep: (to Bruce) Has Tony come back yet?

B: No, actually... Scott was the first...

Ki: Well... consider yourself warned...

Loi: Do I want to know?

Pep: Trust me, it's better not to ask...

(Bruce examines the girls' finds while Alfred and Jean attempt to dislodge Scott's face from the wall... and tend to his other injuries...)
