Golden Gate Comic Con, Chapter 5: Pages 13-14
PAGE 13
PANEL 1: Cut to a screenshot of Quinn's tablet moments later, after she goes through the process of checking the tickets QR code. It lists, above Adam's previous address on Fulton Street, the date of the order for his tickets- 4/11/2018.
PANEL 2: Back to a shot of Quinn a split second later; the setting and layout the same as what we saw at the end of the previous page. She glares up from the tablet's screen toward Adam with a look that could be discerned either as a look of confusion or fear mixed with a tense urge to react, depending on one's mindset.
ADAM [narration caption]: Oh, boy! I've seen that look before in movies...
PANEL 3: Cut to a shot of Adam's panicked look, waiting with an ever increasing sense of anxiety over what may end up happening next. You can see an ever brightening red hue of alarm behind his head, blotting out the entire room in the background.
ADAM [Cont., thought bubble]: That is a look that screams, "You have 60 seconds till your ass gets beaten into the floor." Should've prepared for that--why didn't I prepare for it? ADAM [thought bubble 2]: Okay...
PANEL 4-6: A three-part set of panels that consists of a series of speculative action shots, playing out what he's thinking over. In Panel 4, it's Adam running out of Quinn's office in a fast dash. Then in Panel 5, he's down the hallway a distance in search of the elevators, which come into view by the time we reach Panel 6.
ADAM [narration caption, Panel 4]: "If I get out of the room now..." ADAM [Cont. narration caption, Panel 5]: "Run top speed toward the elevators..." ADAM [Cont. narration caption, Panel 6]: "I should be able to beat out whatever passes for security here (unless I end up tripping over myself)--" QUINN [caption, Panel 6]: Just as I suspected- a simple glitch.

PANEL 1: We move back to Quinn in the same setting and layout as Panel 2. This time, her eyes are squarely focused now on the tablet, typing a command as she speaks. You can see the tickets laying face up on the hardwood desktop in the bottom of the panel view.
QUINN [Cont., to Adam]: I'll just fix it up and help get you a new set of tix for the whole Convention. It should be ready in Customer Service in about...10 minutes or so. ADAM [surprised, Off-Panel]: ...Wow! Thank you, uh... QUINN [Bubble 2]: More than happy to help out someone from the famous Flight 2422.
PANEL 2-3: A two-part set of panels that both focus on Adam's stunned face; the setting and layout behind her similar to what we saw in Panel 3 of the previous page. In Panel 2, he stays silent, trying to wrap his head around what just happened. In the next panel, moments later, he snaps back (at least somewhat) to the conversation at hand.
ADAM [thought bubble, Panel 2]: What the hell just happened? Is this luck? Are people in the future dumber than they were in my time? QUINN [Off-Panel, Panel 2]: Sir...? ADAM [thought bubble 2, Panel 2]: Hold up, did she say--? QUINN [louder Off-Panel, Panel 3]: Sir! ADAM [apologetic, to Quinn; Panel 3]: Sorry about that. Did--Did you mention Flight 2422?
INT. NEW-X FILM FESTIVAL- Afternoon
PANEL 4: Cut to a shot of the manager of the Theater manager Kelly standing in front of the film projector, trying to speak over top of a chorus of nerd voices chattering off-panel. She's dressed in a red vest with a black T-Shirt that holds the logo for the movie theater she works in, along with a pair of smart looking black slacks.
MANAGER [to the crowd]: I apologize for the delay, everyone. Our repair staff are up in the Projection room right now, fixing the problem with the camera right now. We should be starting up X-Men: Children of the Atom in beautiful 4kHD momentarily.
PANEL 5: We move to a shot of Michele and her BFF Jenny seated in one of the middle rows of the theater moments later, chatting with each other as the Manager leaves the area. Michele is dressed as Nightcrawler with a T-shirt that reads "The Future is Mutant" with the names of many other X-Men branching out from the word "Future" into a circle that forms the X-Men symbol in the background. Jenny is dressed as a genderswapped Cable; her long hair painted gray and into a ponytail.
JENNY [smiling]: Mmm...Madelaine Petsch!
PANEL 6: Slight close-up on the section of the theater where they're seated at, moved slightly to the side in terms of layout, a couple of beats later. Michele looks over in her friend's direction, placing one of her black and purple claws on her lap. You can see the heads and bodies of a handful of other fellow nerds sitting in the same row, engaged in their own levels of conversation with one another.
JENNY [Cont., to Michele]: I know you think Sophie Turner's the better Jean Grey. But for my PatCos, she's the best. Showed of the mix of brains and humor that you wanna see from Jean, not to mention that awesomely badass moment she had against Mister Sinister. MICHELE [knowledgable retort, to Jenny]: True, but she never had a chance to show what she could do with the role. For the most part, the scripts for her either portrayed her as dull or a bloody crazy bitch. If she had someone like Edgar Wright writing and directing when she was Jean? She'd have smashed the role! JENNY [Bubble 2]: You must admit though, when you first saw it, my girl Maddie did look smoking hot in her signature green and yellow dress. MICHELE [Bubble 2]: ...She did, yeah.
