EXT – THE STREETS OF LONDON ADAM and EVE are walking around Central London EVE Did you watch the show, last night? ADAM A bit, but then I got distracted. EVE Let me guess, by your stomach. ADAM You know it! EVE Your so predictable. ADAM (Does Mouthwatering Actiona) So is the show, plus food is more interesting, hmmm A cucumber, cheese and ham sandwich topped with a Spicy chicken steak. EVE Typical. They begin to walk down an alleyway, Eve looks behind her only to find Adam is no longer there. A shadow comes out of nowhere and grabs her and puts a cloth over her mouth. SHADOW (Cloth On Eve) Relax, I’m not here to hurt you. Eve begin to feel her eyelids get heavy and becomes unconscious SHADOW Take her away Two other shadows appear and take Eve away SHADOW Now to get the other one Adam is staring mouth-wateringly at a sign for a deal of a Steak dinner with all the trimmings on special offer. ADAM Eve, take a look at this.


Adam looks at his side and behind him and begins to look around, confused, he notices Eve is no longer with him. The Shadow lurks, watching him as he looks around. ADAM Eve! … Eve! Where’d you go? The Shadow comes out and approaches Adam. The Shadow Excuse me, are you looking for someone? Because, someone just went down that Way looking for someone called Adam. Adam I’m Adam… Could you show me which way she went? The Shadow Sure, yeah, no problem, follow me. The Shadow leads Adam into the same dark alley that they kidnapped Eve in. Without recognition, Adam feels a hard blow to the face, as the The Shadow spins around connecting his elbow to the side of Adam’s face with one swift blow, rending him unconscious. FADE TO BLACK INT – THE LAB OF MENGELE The Shadow and the mad doctor, DR MENGELE are in the lab together. Mengele is fiddling with his research, as The Shadow awaits. THE SHADOW What do we do now, Doctor? MENGELE (Walks to window) We wait, Hanzo HANZO (The Shadow) goes over to Mengele’s desk and see’s some documents outlining a formula for a serum and a master plan. As Mengele looks into the room we see, Eve and Adam alive in another isolated lab room.


INT – ISOLATED LAB ROOM Adam and Eve awake left on the floor and kind of in pain, they stretch, wake up and begin to look around. ADAM WHO ARE YOU!? What do you want? Let us go! While Adam shouts, Eve is silent, looking at a big window. EVE Adam!?... Adam ignores her EVE Adam!... Look!... Someone is watching us. Adam turns around and notices the window, they both look into the window. Adam punches the window with everything he has, Eve realises that they can’t break it. EVE Adam, stop it! It’s useless It’s probably bullet and sound proof. They both fall to the floor, acknowledging they’re trapped and enclosed in this small room of hell for how long, no one knows… probably forever. An intercom goes off MENGELE Adam, Eve, be calm and relax, I’ve no intention of hurting any of you. EVE Who are you!? MENGELE My name is Josef Mengele, I’m a scientific doctor. I’ve brought you here for a reason… I need your help.


ADAM Why? MENGELE All your lives, you’ve hidden your true potential and purpose away from the universe. Today I give you a purpose for living… I’m aware your both special, different from everyone else. EVE What do you know? MENGELE Everything about the pair of you… When you awake… Gas begins to pour and infused into the room. MENGELE (Cont’d) You will be given a choice, Be part of this purpose… Or rot in this room. The intercom buzzes off Adam and Eve dropped down low to the ground to avoid the fumes of the gas but eventually fall victim to it’s power and are knocked unconscious. FADE TO BLACK A few days later, they wake up, they get up and stumble around trying to regain their conscious and strength. ADAM What the…? Was that all a dream? EVE I don’t know, what it was. ADAM Who was that guy? He was creepy and weird. EVE I Know They begin to look around the room


EVE Adam, look Eve points to an item, it’s a glowing clear liquid solution, that is on a podium stand on a table, like an ancient relic. Adam What is that. EVE He must have put it there while we were unconscious. ADAM Well it wasn’t there before. EVE Do you think that liquid… Is the choice he spoke of? Adam Maybe, I dunno. They stare at the clear liquid known as the Super Serum. ADAM What do we do? EVE Well he did say, we would Have a choice or rot here. ADAM You think, this is it? EVE Must be. You go first Adam looks at Eve like, she is a chicken and he wants to say something, but he doesn’t want to damage his pride, so he proves himself a man. He picks up the serum and looks at it, he unscrews the lid and smells it. ADAM It smells nice… that’s a good thing. Bottoms up! Adam takes a sip; he drinks and within seconds passes the potion to Eve


ADAM Oh my God! That is vile! Adam begins darting around looking for a drink to wash the foul taste out of his mouth. Adam grabs the edge of a table and hits the floor. EVE It can’t be that bad. Eve takes a sip, she drops the serum, after sipping and begins to feel light headed and falls to the floor as well. INT – MENGELE’S LAB HANZO They’ve drank the serum… Now what? MENGELE Watch and bare witness to the next evolution. Hanzo looks at Mengele like his a nutcase, but aren’t all doctor’s and scientist’s like that. INT – THE LAB ROOM Adam and Eve begin to regain consciousness, they stand up and look at each other as if they are thinking the same thing. EVE Do you feel different? ADAM Something’s different. Suddenly, without warning, an item flies in the air and across the room. Eve dodges the item. EVE Adam, watch it! ADAM WOAH! Adam looks at Eve as if they’re thinking the same thing again.


ADAM You thinking what I’m thinking? EVE Let’s get the hell out of here. Adam and Eve both walk towards the metallic door and both raise their hands and smile and blast off the door and walk out. INT – MENGELE’S LAB HANZO They’re escaping! What do you want me to do, Doctor? MENGELE Watch them, persuade them to come back… but don’t kill them. Hanzo nods in recognition EXT – Field or Somewhere High Tech Adam and Eve are walking away and begin to hear someone running up behind them, they turn around to see Hanzo. They change their stances and prepare for a fight. But Hanzo puts his hands up in the air to surrender. HANZO I’m not here to fight. The duos lower their stances. ADAM What do you want from us? HANZO We’re on the same side. EVE What? HANZO My name is Hank I work for a top-secret government Agency, we are currently investigating Mengele. I need you two to help me, bring him down and save the world.


EVE What do you mean, save the world? HANK Mengele intends to kill every superhero In the universe, the serum, you drank Made you the strongest super beings known To the universe. Adam admires his newfound power. EVE But the world needs heroes, like us. HANK Precisely, my point. ADAM Then, let’s finish this They walk back towards the lab. INT – MENGELE’S LAV HANK Mengele, it’s over MENGELE Just as I suspected… It’s far from over… Go ahead… Kill me… But my legacy will live on! HANK Not today… We need you alive for questioning. Hank and Eve walk towards Mengele to cuff him, out of the blue. Adam blasts the three of them across the room with a telekinetic blast. Eve looks up injured and in shock. ADAM I’m sorry. Adam flies through the roof, smashing it and rumble piles down upon the three. Eve gets to her feet and checks the pulse of Mengele. EVE


His dead HANK His body might be… But his mind isn’t EVE What do we do, now? HANK We do what we always do… fight. Will you join us? EVE Of course, I will. HANK Well then your need a new identity and a suit… How does Natasha, sound? NATASHA Fine by me. Natasha sees a leather catsuit on display in Mengele’s lab NATASHA I think, I got the perfect suit, As well. Hank pulls out his phone and begins to dial a number and puts the phone to his ear.
