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 Location: Basement
T: Heads or tails?
C: Heads.
(flip)
T: Drat... tails.
C: So... should we tell Bruce or call the Professor?
T: What do you mean 'we'? 'We' just flipped a coin, thus, 'I' will be telling... someone...
C: Thank goodness...
T: Don't rub it in. Do you think we should bring him?
C: Tony... I hate to say it but I don't think even he could survive that.
T: Yeah... and Bruce just got that new carpet in the living room. He probably wouldn't appreciate us dragging a dead body through it.
C: Not to mention the awkward situation that would follow when everyone else sees him.
T: So... on to the living room...
(They leave, wondering just how to break the news to the others. Unseen by either of them, the elevator moves ever so slightly upward...)
Team: The others Location: Living room (or in Scott's case, halfway between the living room and the dining room...)
(Storm is now helping with Scott and Kurt and Robin are sitting on the couch arguing about who'll get the worse punishment. Bruce, meanwhile has just finished surveying the loot)
B: Whew! Last bag. Looks like you've tied, ladies.
Ki: Huh? Oh, that? We weren't even thinking about winning!
Loi: Actually, we were going rather slowly. To have more time to talk.
Pep: Tony and Clark should've been back by now shouldn't they?
C: Hey, guys...
(Tony and Clark limp/stumble in. They are very disheveled, rather dirty from their trek through the basement and Tony's hair is still standing on end. They both look very nervous)
B: Whoa, what happened to you two?
Pep: They used the elevator. Didn't you, Tony? (accusing glare)
T: Huh? Oh... right... the elevator... umm...
C: (still smiling nervously, nudges Tony)
T: We had a little trouble with that.
B: But the elevator isn't working.
C: Uh, that wasn't really the problem...
T: Our issue was more with stopping the elevator than starting it.
Pep: Tony... what did you do?
T: We didn't mean to! He was just there! It's not like we expected him to be down in the basement.
(a loud crack makes everyone jump, but it turns out to be just Scott being removed finally.)
Loi: Who?
T: (gulp) L-Logan...
Pep: Tony!
B: You crushed Logan?
Ki: What do you mean crushed? Is he dead?
Logan: Not... quite...
