In Washington D.C, the White House, President Sandra Martin is rehearing her lines for a speech.
Martin: My fellow Americans. My fellow Americans.....
Martin looks up and sighs.
Martin: Come on, girl. First female president. All you gotta do is feed the media a bullshit speech.
Suddenly, there's a knock at the door.
Martin: Come in.
The President's assistant walks in.
Assistant: Madam President.
Martin: Yes, Lindsay?
Assistant: Dr. Stephen Daniels is here with his proposal. The hearing is about to start.
Martin: Thank you, Lindsay.
Martin puts the paper aside as she walks to the hearing with other political figures and generals present at the meeting. In the other head hair sits a Caucasian-American man with brown hair and glasses.
Martin: Gentlemen.
Vickers: Madam President.
Martin sits with the other meeting.
Martin: So, what is the purpose of this meeting?
Vickers: Simple; the Enhuman threat to not just America, but the world.
Lowe: The Enhuman threat is constantly growing each and every year. More and more world threatening events occur.
Vickers: But thanks to Enhumans, like the Supers, those world ending events have been avoided.
Lowe: After what happened to London and the other cities with the flooding?
Vickers: That was never confirmed that is was the work of Enhumans...and regardless, if Enhumans were involved, the Supers stopped all those events.
Webster: Madam President, these Supers have no congress approval to act on these threats, both human and Enhuman and each time they're involved, we keep having to pull deductions on taxes just to repair the damages that these superhumans cause to the cities just by stopping them. There has to be a solution.
Daniels: and there is....
Daniels stand up and clears his throat.
Daniels: For years, I've been studying the Enhuman gene and tried to find a way to make an Enhuman antibody that will suppress the Enhuman gene...permanently. A cure for the Enhuman strain.
Daniel presents a video that shows an Enhuman prisoner using his powers to break out, but is then injected with a syringe turning him completely human.
Martin: My god....
Daniel: We've been wondering for years and decades on how this country safe from Enhumans. Well, this is the key. This is the answer right here.
Lowe: With your approval, Madam President, this cure will be distributed all across America and every Enhuman will be forced to take it....including the Supers.
Martin looks down, pondering.
Martin: What if the Supers were forced to take this cure? What if there's a threat that humans can't take care of and they can't because their powers have been stripped away?
Lowe: Ma'am, this country has suffered enough damage from these people...the world doesn't need heroes. It needs solutions.
Martin: I need a few days to think about it. In the meantime, I'll make an announcement to the public.
In Afghanistan, Kala Donovan, now a military soldier, is leading a U.S patrol around. Many Afghanistan pedestrians walk around. Behind her in a truck, an African-American man, a Sergeant with a younger Caucasian-American man, a private, sit in the patrol car.
Sweeney: Hey, Sarge?
Cooper: What is it, son?
Sweeney: We sure we should be taking on her word again.....I mean.....she's one of those Enhumans.
Cooper: Yeah, but her intel on the location of the terrorist was solid.
Another man, a young Hispanic male, a Corporal, laughs.
Ramirez: Learn to live in the moment, bro.....Gotta try something new, by the way....Oh, and Sweeney, I mean to say; I had that dream last night again...about your sister. Me and her in the general's office.
Ramirez grunts while Cooper laughs.
Ramirez: Her and I are going at it, bro. She keeps saying "aye, papi. More."
Sweeney: Dude, I don't even have a sister.
Ramirez: Then why do you get so pissed off every time I dream about having sex with her?
Cooper laughs while up ahead, Kala looks up ahead and speaks into her radio.
Kala: Sarge....hold up a sec.
The U.S. patrol stops while Kala uses her Enhuman senses. Cooper talks through his radio.
Cooper: Kala...talk to me.
Kala: Hmm....
Kala uses her neon powers to pinpoint mines up ahead on the road.
U.S. Marine: Whoa!
Ford: Holy shit....it's a goddamn mine trap.
Suddenly, Kala is shot in the leg by a sniper up ahead as the U.S. marine patrol takes cover. Kala looks up, using her neon senses to scope out the sniper. After finally spotting him, she dodges another shot, before speaking into her radio.
Kala: Three four dive degrees, two five zero yards, small structure. Blue side level.
Cooper: Gunner!
Kala: Hold your fire, Sergeant....I got this.
Kala uses her neon speed to dodge the bullets, before she manages to finally incapacitate the Iraqi sniper. Kala then speaks into her radio.
Kala: Sergeant....sniper captured.
Cooper: You didn't kill him?
Kala: No....
Cooper: Well, at least you got the bastard.
Later on, in the mess hall, the U.S. Soldiers are having dinner. Kala walks in as the U.S. Soldiers stare at her. She then sits with Sweeney, Ramirez and Ford. Sweeney then looks up, twisting his lips.
Sweeney: You can't sit with us....
Kala: Why? Afraid a woman might show you guys up?
Sweeney: You know why you can't sit with us.
Ford: Hey....Sweeney, that's enough. She did a great job out there.
Sweeney: Sorry, Bobby, but someone's gotta say it; the corps turned to shit when the government starting letting Enhumans wear the uniform.
Ramirez: Look, Sweeney...she took a bullet for you guys today, so....back off.
Sweeney: Oh, come on, boys. We all know why she's doing this. You've seen her record....she's a criminal.
Kala: A criminal who can sense with her neon skills....who can use her light speed to run for miles while you all need to drive a stinky Humvee all day that smells like ball sweat. I can use the neon in the dark to guide me through the while you cling to your flashlight. You ask me; the government is lucky to have Enhumans now.
Sweeney shakes his head.
Sweeney: You goddamn Enhuman bitch.
Kala stops eating, then clears her throat.
Kala: No disrespect, Corporal Sweeney...but if you call me a Enhuman bitch again....
Kala turns her head, glaring at Sweeney.
Kala: I'll disintegrate you myself.
Sweeney stands up, intimidated.
Sweeney: Go ahead try it.
Kala's eyes turn into a neon state wit her hand powering up under the table.
Cooper: What's going on here?
Sweeney looks up.
Sweeney: Nothing, sir. The men and I were just leaving.
Sweeney, Ramirez and Ford leave with Sweeney whispering to Kala.
Sweeney: This isn't over, bitch.
Kala turns and depowers as she looks around at the faces. At Parker Tower, the day of Joseph and Trisha's wedding, Eva is powdering Trisha's face.
Eva: One thing I will say is at least you got plenty of rest, before your wedding.
Trisha: I know. I'm just nervous, though. Wedding jitters is all.
Jessica arrives.
Jessica: Sorry, I'm late. I couldn't find my heels. Can I do her hair?
Eva: Yeah....
Trisha's cellphone begins to ring as she picks it up.
Trisha: Hello?
Maria: Hey, Trisha. It's me.
Trisha: Hey, the wedding's about to start in an hour.
In Owego, Maria is attempting to start her truck, but is having difficulties.
Maria: Uh...yeah...I'm still trying to get my truck started, but....it's still giving me problems.
Trisha: Like what?
Maria: Transmission fluid.
Trisha: Ugh...
Maria: Yeah...well, I don't think I'm gonna make it...
Trisha: There has to be someway you can make it to the wedding, right? You're one of the bridesmaids....and my big sis.
Maria: I know, but I exactly can't drive at the moment. I mean, if you were granted the power of superflight...
Trisha: No, I don't.....but...
Maria: Trisha....
Trisha: What?
Maria: Don't you even think about it...
Trisha: What? I'm not going to do anything...
Maria: I know that tone, Trisha....
Trisha: What tone? I don't have a suspicious tone.
Maria: You're literally pulling a "basic Instinct" move right now.
Trisha: I'm not...I swear, but I'll see you in an hour. Love you, sis!
Maria: Trisha!
Trisha hangs up, before approaching Eva and Jessica as Trisha begins crying.
Eva: Whoa, whoa....honey...you're supposed to be happy. This is your wedding day.
Trisha: I guess...I guess I'm just....I'm getting married....I just want things to be okay.....and I don't know how you do it as Enhumans nonetheless.
Eva: Oh, honey...being an Enhuman or being married is never easy.....but you found balance and that's what you and Josh need in your lives...is balance.
Trisha wipes her tears.
Trisha: Thanks, Eva.
Jessica: Weddings....always bringing out emotions.
In another part of the building, Alex helps Josh with his suit.
Alex: Dude, remind me how tall are you again?
Josh: 6 "2" inches, my guy.
Alex: Right. How is it you can fit a supersuit fine, but have trouble fitting this tux?
Josh: What are you talking about? My tux is fitting me fine. It's you that needs help with your suit.
Alex: Uh...last I checked, I'm not the one getting married. You are, bro.
Josh: But still, man, it's your best friends' wedding and we all have to look our best.
Alex: Dude, when it's my best friends' wedding, we just have to stand there and smile. Look good and hope everything goes well. Hope that the groom doesn't have some old habits.
In his officer, John searches for his bible just as Tombs enters.
Tombs: Hello, old friend....
John smiles and turns.
John: I'm honestly surprised you showed up.
Tombs: Well, I know I wasn't invited, but sometimes, I can put differences aside....
John: Did you bring your whole crew with you?
Tombs: No, just Scarlett and Axel.....After all, this is a private wedding.
John: Well, if you're here, then I definitely have to keep it private. Don't want the military or FBI showing up. After all, you and the Purifiers are fugitives.
Tombs laughs as John looks down at the photo of his family.
Tombs: You know; I always thought that James and Eva would find someone and get married...follow that path like you did.
John: Yeah....I think Sara would've loved to see how well our vision went.
Tombs: Did it?
John turns his head to Tombs.
John: Why are you here, Adrian?
Tombs: The humans are building a mandatory cure for Enhumans....for us....a scientist named Daniels who works for a pharmaceutical company called Eden is responsible for it....John, they're wanting us to be like....like the humans....
John sighs.
John: We'll look into this later. I have to focus on the wedding.
Tombs: You should look into it, now....the humans are afraid of what we can do. If the White House approves of this cure and every Enhuman in the country has to take it, what happens to my Purifers? Your Supers? How do you think the world will react when they discover that the brilliant John Parker is an Enhuman?
John sighs, shaking his head, before walking off.
John: You should go find your seat....I have to go preach.
John walks off as Tombs twists his lips. Charles, James and Alex get into place and prepare to step out as Trisha approaches the three.
James: Hey, Trisha. What are you doing?
Alex: Yeah, shouldn't you be in the back, you know? Putting on your wedding dress?
Trisha: That's what I'm coming to talk to James about...
James: Uh...me? Okay.... What's up, Trisha?
Trisha: I need a favor....and I know you can be discreet about this.
In Owego, Maria continues attempting to fix her truck, before Dragonfly flies down and approaches Maria.
Dragonfly: Ms. Campbell.
Maria: Uh...it's just Maria....Don't tell me my sister sent you.
Dragonfly: Uh....yeah.
Maria sighs.
Maria: Trisha's so lucky that I want to see my little sister get married....plus, I am the maid of honor.
Dragonfly: Tell me about it.....
Maria: ...just do me a favor and fly gently.
Dragonfly: No promises.
Maria: Oh, shit....
Dragonfly picks up Maria and flies off into the sky. At Parker Tower, Jessica fixes her hair in the mirror as Alex walks up behind her and puts his chin on her shoulder.
Alex: Well, well, mademoiselle....don't you look absolutely beautiful.
Jessica laughs.
Jessica: You are also most dashing, Mr. Miller....
Jessica turns and smiles at Alex, fixing his tie.
Alex: What are you doing?
Jessica: Making sure the best man of the wedding's tie is right. In France, it is tradition to make sure the best man looks his best.
Alex: Really?
Jessica: No, I am just how do you Americans say "taking the dick off of you?"
Alex: I think you mean "taking the piss off of you".
Jessica: That, too....
Alex and Jessica laugh, before the two look into each others eyes.
Alex: Someday it's gonna be us....
Jessica: It will be us, my love.
Jessica kisses Alex, before discretely, Dragonfly flies into the opening of the building with Maria in tow, setting her down as she shakes off the jetlag.
Maria: That was not gentle flying.
Dragonfly's suit dissolves from nanotech back into his tux as Maria puts on her heels.
James: Well, we had to be on time for this wedding.
James turns to Alex and Jessica.
James: Meet the maid of honor, guys.
Jessica: Maria Campbell, it is such an honor to meet you. I am Jessica Drakos.
Maria offers a handshake.
Maria: Nice to meet you, Jessica. I am guessing; the invisible girl?
Jessica: Phantom....and this is my boyfriend, Alex.
Alex: Hello, Ms. Campbell.
Maria: Oh, please, honey. Call me Maria....and I'm gonna guess you're the fire and ice boy.
Alex: Thermo.....
Jessica's eyes widen as she looks past Maria.
Jessica: Oh, simeple.....
Alex smiles as Maria turns to see her sister in her wedding dress, with James and Eva behind her.
Maria: Oh, my god....
Jessica: You look so beautiful, cherrie!
Trisha: Thank you, guys!
James: Alright, we better get started. Charlie's doing the sermon!
Alex: Yeah, let's do it....
James walks out with Eva, before Alex and Jessica follow. Maria then walks up to Trisha, smiling.
Maria: You don't look bad, you know?
Trisha: Is that big sister talk for you look kind nice?
Maria: You look beautiful, Trisha.
Trisha smiles.
Trisha: Thanks, sis....
Maria laughs then happily cries.
Maria: I'm sorry...it's just...my little sister's getting married, you know?
The two sisters laugh, before there's a long silence. Maria finally speaks.
Maria: Dad would be so proud of you.
On the roof of Parker Tower, the wedding starts Charles waits with a bible in his hand, James escorts Eva to the alter, before Alex does the same with Jessica. Maria walks down the aisle by herself as Scarlett stares with a smirk.
Scarlett: Of course, they let a human be a part of the wedding....
Axel: Well, it is them so of course, they would.....
Scarlett: Remind me again why we're here, Dad.
Tombs: In times like this, we must show respect for our enemies.....
Scarlett shrugs.
Scarlett: Eh....I do like weddings.
A few moments, Trisha walks down the aisle in her wedding dress, with John escorting her to the alter. Josh smiles in shock, as Jessica and Eva smile with Maria crying.
Eva: You okay?
Maria: It's just...that's my little sister.
Trisha walks up to Josh and the two hold hands.
Charles: Ladies and gentlemen, we're gathered here today on this glorious day to witness the union of Josh Adams and Trisha Campbell. It is said in the bible, 1st Corinthians 13: 4-8, that love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth, always trusts, always hopes, always preserves. Love never fails, but where there are prophecies, they will cease, they will be stilled; where there is knowledge, it will pass away.
Alex: wow....He's pretty good at that.
James: I know, right?
Charles: Josh, I've seen you become a great and magnificent young man that you are. Despite your sense of humor and somewhat childish atrocities, you've shown your love for this woman throughout the years. Repeat after me, son. I, Josh Adams...
Josh: I, Josh Adams
Charles: Take you, Trisha Campbell.
Josh: Take you, Trisha Campbell...
Charles: To have and to hold...
Josh: To have and to hold..
Charles: For better or worse...
Josh: For better or worse...
Charles: For richer or poorer...
Josh: For richer or poorer..
Charles: In sickness and in health...
Josh: In sickness and in health...
Charles: To love and to cherish...
Josh: To love and cherish...
Charles: As long as we both shall live...
Josh: As long as we both shall live...
Charles: This is my solemn vow.
Josh: This is my solemn vow. I do.
Charles: Trisha, how you've great of the young woman you've become. Your spirit and heart for Josh really shows. Repeat after me. I, Trisha Campbell.
Trisha: I, Trisha Campbell
Charles: Take you, Josh Adams...
Trisha: Take you, Josh Adams...
Charles: To have and to hold...
Trisha: To have and to hold..
Charles: For better or worse...
Trisha: For better or worse...
Charles: For richer or poorer...
Trisha: For richer or poorer..
Charles: In sickness and in health...
Trisha: In sickness and in health...
Charles: To love and to cherish...
Trisha: To love and cherish...
Charles: As long as we both shall live...
Trisha: As long as we both shall live...
Charles: This is my solemn vow.
Trisha: This is my solemn vow. I do.
Charles: By the power invested in me, I now pronounce you, Mr. And Mrs. Josh Adams. You may kiss your bride.
Josh and Trisha share a lingering kiss as Charles smiles. John, James, Eva, Alex, and Jessica, along with the guests of the wedding, clap their hands. After the kiss, Josh winks, shooting electric spark in the next eye.
