Late afternoon...

Mickie is at her house reading a bit, AJ appears on the fire escape and knocks on her window, Mickie is happy to see him, opens the window for her.

Mickie James: "Hello, how did you get here?"

AJ Styles: "I just climbed the fire escape, the bouncer terrifies me."

AJ enters.

Mickie James: "But it's more than 20 floors."

AJ Styles: "I know, wow, I like your room."

Micky smiles.

AJ Styles: "I had brought your mom these, flowers."

AJ pulls some flowers out of his backpack, they are squashed... a little.

Mickie James: "Wow, they're...cute."

AJ Styles: "Yes, they are...beautiful, or at least they were."

Mickie James: "I'm serious, they are beautiful, they have held up very well."

AJ Styles: "I understand, I better take them with me."

Mickie James: "Do you have your other suit in there?"

AJ frowns when he says this.

AJ Styles: "My other suit?"

Mickie James: "Yeah, I'm talking about your wrestling outfit, your dinner outfit or are you going to wear that thing you're wearing."

In that bursts...Stuart James!...Mickie's father.

Stuart James: "Daughter."

AJ and Mickie were instantly stunned.

Stuart James: "So you're AJ Styles."

Mickie James: "Dad, this is AJ Styles."

After a brief but noticeably awkward silence, AJ introduces himself.

AJ Styles: "Sir, it's nice to meet you."

Stuart James: "I mean the same thing, dinner is ready...have you tried the lobster yet?"

AJ Styles: "Sorry to say no."

At the laboratory...

Eric fell asleep, too long, wakes up a bit dazed, tries to get up but notices something crashing against his desk...in fact he feels something strange on his right side...it's big covered by a scaly layer, similar to skin lizard...Eric tears a bit and discovers...that his arm has grown back!...Eric can't believe it...he is able to move his fingers and touches the bulb of the lamp to check that can feel, Eric couldn't be happier, so he tries to call Bischoff.

Eric Young: "Is Eric Bischoff here?"

Secretary: "I'm afraid not, doctor, I think he's headed to the retirement center."

Eric Young: "No, no, he shouldn't arrive... please, miss, call him... tell him that...".

Suddenly Young begins to feel pain in his head (from what he hears on the call Bischoff is heading for a bridge) so much that he staggers. Young goes out and calls for a taxi, tells him where he has to go, but Young's arm...begins to mutate!...turns scaly and green, so does he.

Taxi driver: "Are you okay, did you get in drunk?"

Eric Young: "Drive, right away!"

Without more buts, the taxi driver takes him.

At Mickie's house...

AJ tries to fit in with dinner, but he doesn't quite know how to crack a lobster.

Mickie's mom: "It's hard if you haven't eaten it before, right?...don't worry, there's a first time for everything, son, help Mickie's friend."

Mickie's little brother helps AJ.

AJ Styles: "Please, I have no idea."

Mickie's little brother: "Beginner."

Mickie's mom: "Stuart, how was work?"

Mickie's brother: "Yeah...have you arrested the red ninja yet?"

Stuart James: "No, not yet... but I'm working on it, it shouldn't be that difficult, he's just a nutcase who attacks civilians at night, but he's still dangerous."

AJ was not very amused by these comments.

AJ Styles: "First correction, he is not a ninja, he is a samurai, I say this because I know about clothes."

They all frown when AJ says this.

AJ Styles: "Second correction, sorry sir, but did you say that he attacks people? ... clearly seeing the video that was a car thief, most people say that he does a ... how did they say? yes , public service".

Stuart James: "Most people are wrong, believe me, that thief would be behind bars if he wanted to."

AJ Styles: "And why isn't he?"

Mickie tries to divert the subject by laughing a little, but it's no use.

Stuart James: "I'll guide you a bit, maybe too many blows have scrambled your brain, but the thief guides us to the people who run the operations, it's called strategy, actually in the ring that's what you do, right ?...strategies".

AJ Styles: "Yes, but he doesn't know they have a plan."

Stuart James: "He didn't know?...you seem to know a lot about him, do you know something we don't?".

AJ Styles: "No, I just saw a video on the internet."

Stuart James: "Ha, did you hear that? He saw a video on the internet, case solved." Sarcastic tone.

AJ Styles: "What I'm saying is that if he watches the video carefully, you can see that he just wants to cooperate."

Stuart James: "That's because clowns on the internet make him look like a hero."

AJ Styles: "I never said he was a hero."

Stuart James: "So what do you mean?"

AJ Styles: "That he just wants to help, but apparently he did something that the police don't do."

Stuart James: "And what do you think we do, parked in a supermarket eating donuts and sucking our fingers like idiots?"

Mickie and his mom try to defuse the argument.

AJ Styles: "It seems that he wants to help, to protect innocent people, the same as you."

Stuart James: "That's what law and order does, people like me, the ones with the badges, he wears a mask like a crude, vulgar thief, what he does is he chases people like it's personal vendetta. ..does not protect people."

Mickie James: "Enough, we need to get out for a minute, AJ, and Dad...we need to have a serious talk about it."

Stuart James: "I sure do."

AJ Styles: "Sorry if I offended you captain, but I defend my position."

AJ gets up.

AJ Styles: "By the way, the lobster is splendid."

AJ and Mickie go out to a balcony, they walk until they reach the shore.

Mickie James: "I admit that was funny."

AJ Styles: "Not to mention it, I thought he would arrest me at any time."

Mickie James: "I wouldn't allow it."

AJ takes a breath.

Mickie James: "Tell me, what really happened to your face?"

AJ Styles: "Mickie, I'm going to tell you something important."

Mickie James: "I hear you."

AJ Styles: "Well, you see...something bit me...".

AJ doesn't know how to continue.

Mickie James: "Love?"

AJ is surprised that she says this, Mickie smiles...walks slowly towards him.

AJ Styles: "Yeah...but, there's something else I have to tell you, it's about the samurai and the car thief."

Mickie James: "Oh, sure."

Mickie immediately pulls away from him.

AJ Styles: "No, no, no...okay, I'm not going to talk to you about that, I'm going to tell you about myself, okay?"

Mickie James: "What are you going to say?"

AJ StyleS: "I wish it was that easy, but it's just... wow, damn."

Mickie James: "Just say it."

AJ Styles: "I don't know if I should."

Mickie James: "Say it."

AJ lowers his head a bit.

Mickie James: "What?"

AJ stares at her, but he still feels insecure, Mickie gets tired of begging him.

Mickie James: "You know what, better forget it."

Mickie turns her back and walks away, but AJ shoots a wire at her and brings her back to him, Mickie is stunned and surprised.

Mickie James: "AJ!...you?"

AJ kisses her, something that apparently they were both looking forward to, enjoying it every second.

Mickie James: "Are you the red samurai?"

They keep kissing, that's when her mother comes in... AJ and Mickie stop doing it.

Mickie's Mom: "Mickie, your dad wants you in right away."

Mickie James: "Tell him I'm not a girl to tell me that, I'm coming."

Mickie and AJ are about to go in, but AJ hears the police sirens, Stuart immediately goes out to do his duty, just like AJ...he jumps from the balcony.

Mickie James: "Oh my gosh, what did I get myself into?"
