Four(4).Sasha: Sergeant Soul stopped a Ferris wheel,though!!

Page 6

1.Leo: I can do more than stop a damn Ferris wheel!I have the power to manipulate reality itself….but I'm still learning how.Damn!

2.Sasha: To be honest with you,that's sounds like bullshit. Wanna go spark up and get some studying done?!

3. Leo: *starts concentrating and posing like a Dbz character* 

Four(4). Sasha: *begins to live room*so….. I'm gonna go spark up and you keep screaming like an idiot.

Leo: * eyes and mouth begin emitting a white light as Sasha turns back in awe*

Five(5).Sasha: You learned all of this by yourself ?

Leo: Yeah,kinda. Let's say,I've had some help. *Chuckles*

Page 8 

Leo: I've been using the past couple days I've spent with mom and the guys to adjust my eyes. 

Sasha:*looking confused*

Leo: So,I can see the world like a co…differently. (Inner monologue : If I revealed that that this is a comic then shit may hit the fan.)  

Leo: Once my eyes adjusted I could change between the views with ease.

Sasha: Alright…I think I took this well. Let's go get high and get you a better costume. Because this…looks  bummy.

Sasha: " As they're walking in to the next room,turns around* Oh,by the way. I'm your partner in this superhero shit.

Sasha *Sitting at the desk rolling a blunt* You got a name?! 

Sasha: It better not be what you're scared of -- with man added at the end. Pussy-Man just isn't appropriate for the kids,you know.

Leo:*Gives her the middle finger* It's Showtime!

Sasha *Licking blunt* fitting. Now,let's do something about your look,man.

Leo: It's not like I can afford much. I'm on the college student budget which is ramen and whatever my mom gives me. 

Sasha: *Lights blunts*  A)You need a fucking job and B) you can make a fucking suit…idiot! 

Sasha:*Passes the blunt* hit that!

3. Leo: It's not as easy at it is in movies. Mothafuckas just don't pop up and if they do it's because they need their cat saved. *Stares at audience* 

4. Sasha: This isn't The Office. Stop doing that! 

5.Sasha:Look,I'll give you a ear piece and I'll use this crime tracker app to give you a general idea on where to go. 

6. Leo: Google is so clutch! And…you,too!
