James Brighton Society, Chapter 10: Pages 11-12

Page 11, 7 Panels- Hallway, Undisclosed Location

Panel 1-2: Cut to an action shot of Ms. Randolph in the crouched position over the human guard, rummaging through the pockets of the unconscious worker for anything that may be of use. In Panel 2, she moves to the inner pockets of the jacket which soon result in a satisfactory clank. All the while, the scene around them shakes with the tremor that started at the end of the previous page.

Panel 3: We move to a shot of Tasha, showing the top half of her body as the shaking continues (albeit to a lesser degree). She's in a standing position and carefully examining a container of what appear to be ordinary pills. There's a look of confusion on her face as she speaks.

TASHA [confused]: The hell...

Panel 4-5: Same setting/layout as the previous panel. A few beats later, she opens the top of the container and plops one of the pills in her mouth with a hopeful shrug on her face. In Panel 5, she feels a sudden jolt of energy that livens up the rest of her body compared to the borderline exhaustion that have been in play for most of the chapter.

TASHA [energized, Panel 5]: Whoo, definitely not what I expected! TASHA [Cont.; Panel 5, Bubble 2]: Feel like a brand new person.

Panel 6-7: A two-part set of panels that follows the former Detective, seen from the rear as she pockets the now closed pill container. In Panel 7, Tasha looks over and notices the guard's weapon lying on the ground a few steps away from his body.

TASHA [thought bubble, Panel 6]: I better not sprout wings or a tail because of this!

Panel 1: Cut to a close-up on the former Detective as she bends down to pick up the baton-like weapon with a black charging band from the ground. She looks over and sees Kyle's unconscious body off in the distance in the background; an idea coming into her head at that very moment.

TASHA [inspired]: If it happened to me, maybe...

Panel 2: We move to Ms. Randolph a few moments later. She has the bottle of pills in her right hand, and places it in Officer Reese's corresponding hand. You can see the weapon gripped in her left hand, hovering a few inches off of the tile floor.

TASHA [to Officer Reese]: When you wake up, take one of these and you'll be okay. And if it turns you into a black Captain America somehow...

Panel 3-4: Cut to a shot in Panel 3 from outside the complex of a wall exploding into a million different pieces outward in the direction of the reader. In the next panel, we see Tasha in the center of the panel view looking on with a wide smile and a great deal of pride at what she had just done.

TASHA [Cont. caption, Panel 3]: You're welcome! TASHA [chuckling to herself, Panel 4]

Panel 5: Action shot of our heroine running out through the hole a few moments later out into the cold evening. She's looking from side to side, thinking on the proverbial fly at that moment. The rumbling and shaking is still heard off in the distance, though it's less severe than it was earlier. You can see the building behind her, including the bombed out section that Tasha caused, in the background as she speaks.

TASHA [Cont.]: Now, best guess? The shaking had to have come from wherever the ceremony was, which means it could be somewhere near...
