(Scene opens outside of the teams new hq, as we first do a wide aerial shot, then closer up on an upstairs room with a door open with a small balcony in front of it).[Unlike his team, Warren Worthington is not having a peaceful slumber](We see first a panel of Warren in bed with Betsy beside him, he's obviously having a nightmare, then we see pictures of the different team members asleep, Tabitha asleep on the couch with the TV on, with candy wrappers and soda cans strewn about her, Sam's asleep in a nearby chair. Siryn peacefully asleep in her bed, Alex and Lorna are asleep in their room with Lorna curled up beside him with her head resting on his chest, and Warpath fell asleep while he was meditating).
(Then we see a close-up of Warrens face, he's sweating and his face is contorted.)(We shift to his dream, we see him standing on the top of a tall building, in the middle of the city, and he's looking around in wonder and confusion)."Wha, where am I, what is this place."
(Then we see a large shadow come over Warren and the top of the building).(Warren slowly turns around with an increasingly shocked and concerned look on his face).(We do a large shot of Warren as a very small figure at the bottom of the panel in the foreground and in the major part of the panel and background, first it starts as a normal sized sun, then it grows to huge size and then turns into Apocalypse, with his arms crossed and a smile on his face, and he's laughing).
"Hello son."(Then we see Warren bolt upright in bed, trying to calm his breathing, and putting a hand to his forehead, then Warren gets out of bed and walks to the window, he's naked but since the room isn't very well lit and we see him from a distance we don't see anything that we shouldn't- think of a PG-13 movie rating-.)(He rests an arm against the closed door)."Wa Warren,"(Betsy says opening her eyes and looking around for Warren after patting the bed where he was with her hand).
"Sorry Bets, I didn't mean to wake you,"(Warren says half turning around, with his wings in the right place.)"It's okay, I needed to get up early anyway, but what's wrong luv, you look like you've seen a ghost,"(Betsy says propping herself up on her elbow, her elbow and the sheets hide everything, her hair is messed up, and she has a worried look on her face.)"I wish, it was that dream again, the same one I've had every night this week,"(Warren says looking worried and sad.)
"The one with Apocalypse in it,"(Betsy says sitting up in bed, but holding the blanket up with her arm so we don't see anything and she looks concerned while she brushes some hair out of her eyes with her other hand.)"Yah, I just wish I knew what it means,"(Warren says looking worried and tired as he looks back out the window.)"So do I, but whatever it means, you're not going to face it alone, I won't let you,"(Betsy says walking over towards Warren, he's facing us as we see her coming towards us over his shoulder, we see down to about her collarbone or a little lower, she's naked as well.)
"I wouldn't have it any other way,"(Warren says smiling, and they're standing face to face now.)"I thought you'd say that, but what do we do now,"(Betsy says brushing his cheek with the back of her hand.)"I don't know, there isn't a manual for this kind of thing, but I have a bad feeling that this is only the beginning,"(Warren says putting his hand over hers.)
(Then we see a panel from their shoulders up of them, staring at each other, then in a full page sized panel we see them in the room with a breeze coming in through the open door, and then in the background we see a full moon, and in the middle to background we see them head to toe, they're kissing passionately, but Warrens wings and their arms cover everything up and we see mostly just them as black figures with just an outline of light, and in the foreground we see the corner of the bed).
(Then we pull back away from the mansion just like when we came in but we end up with a wide shot of the mansion and it's ground underneath the full moon.)
[Meanwhile...]
[In an alley for away from the sleepy Uncanny Headquarters](We see a dimly lit back alley, with boxes and trashcans littered about and stacked up, and we see in the shadows a person is hiding in the darkness).(Then we see Erica come around the corner, she looks paranoid, nervous, and a little scared).I hope he's here, I took a big chance taking these samples from the lab, if I ever get caught I'm as good as dead(Erica thinks with an unsure look on her face as she edges into the alley, looking around.)
"You her, Erica Kalen,"(a bearded man says stepping out of the shadows)."Who's asking,"(Erica says cautiously while looking defensive.)(With a grin the man says),"Did you get the samples girl?" "Do you have the pills,"(Erica says gritting her teeth)."Right here, now give me the genetic samples,"(the man says grabbing her arm.)"Not until you let go of my arm, here,"(Erica says wrenching her arm free as she takes the samples out of her pocket and handing them to the man).
"Now, the pills,"(Erica says nervously)."Like I said, here yah go girl,"(the man says tossing Erica a big jug of pills.)"These had better work,"(Erica says looking angry with fire in her eyes as she catches the pill jug.)"I guess you'll find out, won't you,"(the man says smiling as he disappears back into the shadows).After what I've done, these pills had better work, or there'll be hell to pay for sure(Erica thinks with an angry look on her face as she goes around the corner).

[The next morning...](Scene opens with Tabitha and Sam sitting at the kitchen table, drinking coffee).(Then we see Alex and Lorna walk in ready to go out, as Lorna says,)"Did you two just get up?" "What if we did, what's it to yah,"(Tabitha says a little angrily as she takes a sip of coffee.)"Don't get mad, I was just asking, where are James and Theresa,"(Lorna asks taking a muffin out of a basket on the table.)"Ah think they headed into town for sumthin, but ah'm not sure what,"(Sam says scratching behind his ear.)"Well, we're going to see the sights and maybe catch a movie, wanna come,"(Alex says as he also takes a muffin from the basket).
"Ah wish we could, but Warren and Betsy want us to put the new danger room through it's paces, good for us huh,"(Sam says smiling sheepishly)."Well have fun, come on Alex, let's go before Warren gets any bright ideas," (Lorna says finishing off the muffin and smiling.)"Yah I think so to, well have fun,"(Alex says as he and Lorna leave the room.)"Ready Tab,"(Sam's says standing up).
"Like I have choice,"(Tabitha says with a sarcastic look on her face)."Ah come on girl, it won't be that bad,"(Sam says setting his coffee cup in the sink.)"But you didn't see the look that Psylocke gave me yesterday, she's got it in for me, I just know it,"(Tabitha says forcefully and a little angry)."Whatever, come on let's go,"(Sam says as he and Tabitha sulk out of the kitchen.)
[A nearby city park, a short time later.](We see Alex and Lorna at a hot dog stand, Lorna is eating hers and Alex is paying the vendor).(Next we see them walking, smiling, and laughing as people play around them, and walk by them)."After what we've been through the last few days, it's nice to take a little time out to smell the roses, don't you think Alex,"(Lorna says removing a stray strand of hair from blowing against her eyes.)
"Yah, my ears are still ringing from that last battle we fought,"(Alex says as they sit down on a park bench, she's leaning back against him, his arm is around her shoulders, his legs are crossed with his left ankle resting on his right knee, and her legs are crossed as well.)"You know, I think I could get used to this,"(Lorna says closing her eyes and smiling.) "Me to, but I have this sinking feeling that what the future holds for us isn't pretty, and if our recent experiences are any indication,"(Alex says scratching his chin with a worried look on his face)."But this time we'll deal with whatever comes together, right,"(Lorna says lightly glaring as Alex.)"Okay I get the message, hey what's going on over there,"(Alex says looking concerned). "Over where,"(Lorna says sitting up.)"Over there, it looks like, like...",(Alex says putting his hand above his eyes to see better).
(We pan over to see a rally for something being held and there's a group of masked thugs causing a lot of trouble.)"Great, just what we need, more trouble, time to go Lorna,"(Alex says clenching his fist as we see his powers flare up)."Whoa Alex, there are to many people around, we can't use our powers, we'll have to do this the old fashioned way,"(Lorna says putting her hand on Alex's arm)."But,"(Alex says looking pleadingly at Lorna.)"No, now come on,"(Lorna says running towards the melee, with Alex right behind her).(Next panel we see a masked man about to hit an old lady with a lead pipe, she's cowering in fear).
(The guy goes to hit her but we see a hand shoot out and grab his wrist and spin him around as the guy says,)"Huh",(Before we see a panel of Alex smiling, and then of his fist smashing into the guys face.)(In a big panel we see Alex punching another one of the masked men in the foreground, and Lorna blocking a punch in the background.)"How ya doin honey,"(Lorna says as she knees a guy in the stomach)."Just fine dear,"(Alex says smiling as he kicks a guy in the face, knocking out a tooth).(The next few panels are of Lorna and Alex duking it out with the masked men.)
(Then we see the fight end and Alex and Lorna looking around and making sure that everyone is okay, Alex helps an old woman to her feet as Lorna checks on a kid.)"You okay Alex,"(Lorna says putting her hand on Alex's shoulder)."Yah, how are you,"(Alex says smiling at Lorna.)"Good, but we'd better get out of here before the authorities arrive, we don't need this kind of exposure,"(Lorna says looking around nervously.)"Agreed, let's go,"(Alex says as he kisses Lorna before taking her hand as they slip away.)
[Hours later..]
(Scene opens with Warpath meditating on the edge of a small cliff, that overlooks the ocean, with the setting sun in the background.)(Then we do a few shots as we go 360 degrees around him from a distance and we see his jeep a little ways behind him, with his shirt an shoes on the driver's seat.)(Then we do a close-up of him with his eyes closed, first close-up is from his shoulders up, then of his face).
[While the rest of his teammates had used their downtime to go shopping in the city or testing the new danger room, James Proudstar chose another path, the calmer path, so that he could be one with nature...](We see a panel of Warpath meditating from the front and then we see a close-up of his nose, he smells something.)"Hello Terry,"(Warpath says with a smile on his face.)"Huh, how did ye know it was me,"(Siryn says as we see her from the knees down enter the picture.)
"Your perfume,"(Warpath says opening his eyes.)"Me perfume, but what,"(Siryn says as we see her looking down with a bewildered look on her face.)"I've been around you long enough to know the smell of your perfume, that's all,"(Warpath says looking up at Siryn as we see them looking at each other.)
"Yes well uh, so ye want some company boyo,"(Siryn says smiling as she looks kind of embarrassed.)"Sure, but I'm almost done meditating for today,"(Warpath says looking back at the setting sun.)"Fine with me, I could really use a little down time right now, ye know,"(Siryn says sitting down beside Warpath).[As a little down time turns into a lot, our oceanside pair truly begin to relax...]"Hey Jimmy, what do ye think is goin on down there,"(Siryn says pointing towards an inlet down near the shoreline.)(We see dark figures milling around.)
"I don't know, they're probably just some surfers or something like that,"(Warpath says smiling.)"Aye guess, it's just that I don' think they're up teh any good,"(Siryn says with a concerned look on her face)."You mean like letting Tabitha cook no good, or, wait a minute, I recognize those guys, they're crimson dawn soldiers,"(Warpath says as the smile leaves his face.)"But what are they doing here, there's nothing for them way out here,"(Siryn says standing up.)"Then let's find out, shall we,"(Warpath says standing up and smirking as Siryn).
"But we can' just barge in this time, we have tah have a plan,"(Siryn says looking frustrated)."I know,...but what if you..,...and then we...,"(we see Warpath say to Siryn first then as he's whispering.)(Then we see Siryn turn her head towards Warpath, smiling while nodding her head..[A few minutes later...](We see Warpath slowly making his way down to the inlet, he has a headband like Rambo had on, then we see him at a corner, he's facing us, and around the corner we see the crimson dawn warriors milling about).
(Then we see Siryn crawling to the edge of a nearby cliff).(Then we see Warpath nod his head to Siryn and she nods back to him).[With the signal from Warpath given, Siryn springs into action, releasing an ear piercing sonic scream](We see Siryn let loose a very large sonic scream, then we see the scream hit a rock overhang directly above the c.d. warriors, causing a big explosion as the overhang shatters, showering the c.d. warriors with shards of rock)(The c.d. warriors howl in pain and anger).
(Then we see Warpath come charging in, causing havoc everywhere)."Good work boyo, I'm right behind ye,"(Siryn says following Warpaths lead, blasting the c.d. warriors off of the ground.)[While Warpath and Siryn dispatch the remaining warriors of the crimson dawn............]
+A small apartment somewhere in downtown San Francisco+
+10:30 P.M.+
(Scene opens with Erica in the bathroom, her hair is up and she's wearing a bathrobe, and water is filling up the tub.)"Ah man, this day's finally over, my head's killing me,"(she says turning the bath water off).(Suddenly we see the bath water start to steam and then it starts to boil.)(Erica then screams, grabs her head, and falls to her knees as we see a small trickle of blood start to come from one of her nostrils)."The pills,"(she says gritting her teeth as the blood starts to come from both nostrils now and tears are streaming down her face.)
(We see her shakily reach up to the counter by the sink and grab the pill bottle, then trying to open the bottle, her hands are shaking. When she opens the bottle the pills go flying all over)."No,"(she moans in desperation).(With her hands and body shaking she grabs a pill and pops it into her mouth)."Ahh, thank God...,"(she stammers out as the camera pulls away, first it goes to her front door, then her apartment building, and then a wide shot of the city.)[Thankful that the hard earned pills have worked, Erica Kalen cries herself to sleep, again, nervously awaiting the coming dawn.]-END
