Diana: Arrrgh Lala... Yo te dije, no filmear durante la visitaaa. ("Arrrgh Lala... I told you no filming during our visit." She says annoyed in Spanish.)

Laura: Sorry Mama.. Pensé que ahora que estamos a punto de salir de Newcastle tal vez... (sorry mama... I thought that now that we are about to leave Newcastle I could maybe....")

Diana: Ah Well you thought wrong now put it away.

Laura: Ah! But Ma...

Diana: Lala! Put El teléfono... ¡Awwwway Now!

James: Oh come on honey. Let her film a bit what could go wrong?

Laura: Yeah! I-I could... I mean we could save the Film as a memory of our time here in Newcastle MA.

Diana: Hmm... (She crosses her arms with one of her eyebrows raised at her husband and daughter)

Both James and Laura plead Diana with desperation in their tone "Pleeeeaaaase"

Diana: (She uncrosses her arms and giggles slightly from how desperate they sounded) Okay. But only this once Lala.

Laura: O.M.Geeee!! Thank you thank you thank you!! (She hugs her mother tightly) Best Parent EVER!!

James: Hey now what about me kiddo?

Laura: Oh... You pretty cool too dad.

Christopher: (he runs up to his parents) Mom! Dad! I just saw a man flying in the sky! I think it's one of the Defenders!

James: Really buddy? Well let's go get his autograph.

Christopher: Yeah! (He starts running in the direction he saw the man flying.)

James: Slow down Chris!

Diana: (She grabs James wrist and pulls him to her to whispers the words into his ear) Ain't the Defenders a terrorist group?

James: You really believe that crap?

Laura: (She hears them whisper and speak out) Mom the Defenders are the good guys

James: Exactly.

Diana: well not anymore Lala. When they returned from wherever they were, people who were dead from even 812 YEARS ago! They even caused the destruction on new York.

Laura: Mom they were trying to defend the earth!

Diana: By causing more destruction, deaths a....

James: Diana...

Diana: Tch... Lala

Laura: No. It's okay. (Tears form in her eyes but hides them away by moving forward to catch up to her brother quicker.)

Diana: (She sighs) Too much?

James: ... you know she's a fan of them. Still thinks they innocent...

Diana: (She sighs) Yeah...

Over some time Later they nearly reach the castle blocks away. Laura starts filming herself.

Laura: Hey guys it's me. And I'm back with another video and... (She turns the camera to her brother who's excited to meet the flying man.)

Christopher: We found one of the members of the Defenders!

Laura: Heck yeah we did.

Christopher smiles in excitement before they see the blue sky turn darker with dark clouds aswell as thunder before seeing lightning strikes coming from the castle infront of them blocks away.

Laura turns the camera to the parents that now finally catches up to them.

Jame: (pretends to be out of breath) ooo.. man that was a work out.

Diana: So where's the flying man Christopher

Laura: (She turns the camera to the castle) Right there ma.

James: Well let's go meet him.

Christopher: Yay!

A Lightning strike is heard scaring Laura and Diana.

Diana: Ah... i think we should head back.

James: Yeah kids. The man could be... busy you know.

Laura: busy with what dad!? They've finally made the world peaceful again there's no threat.

Diana: Lala listen to your papa.

Laura: (She sighs before changing the view of the camera to selfish mode) Huuu... guys I'm sorry to do this to you all... I know you all wanted to see whoever it is... (She leans close to the camera and whispers) honestly me too... I hope it's Jack Drake. (She silently screams and places a palm on her chest) my biggest superhero crush EVER.

Christopher: Laura isn't He dead?

Laura: Argh... Of course not Chris. How can other heroes and other people from even the 12th century come back to life EXCEPT for him?

Christopher: Hmmm... I don't know.

Laura: (She rolls her eyes and looks at the camera.) Maybe next time... bye guys and always remember no matter how dark or how worthless life is.... there will always be ho... (the camera ends with an explosion heard from the background.)
