58 - Now What?

SOPHIA
This episode, we’re trying something different: Vignettes! For the first one, here’s all you need to know: Parker admitted that he’s over Max, but his attention is now turned toward Elijah, who he recently saved from the newest villain, Rose. Unfortunately, Rose snapped his arm like a twig. I doubt he’ll be wall-crawling again anytime soon. Let’s begin!

MAT
Episode 58: Now What?

SFX: DOOR OPEN AND CLOSE

PARKER
Hey, Max… I’m glad you’re home.

MAX
Oh my god, shouldn’t you still be in the hospital?

PARKER
Nah, I got cleared to leave yesterday.

MAX
Oh! How’s your arm?

PARKER
Not great. It’ll be a while before I can fight crime again.

MAX
How did the surgery go?

PARKER
It’s a complete mess under this cast. There are rods and screws and stuff. I’m pretty sure I qualify as a cyborg now.

MAX
Aww, BLEEP. I’m sorry.

PARKER
It’s okay. If I could go back, I would do it again. Rose could’ve killed Elijah.

MAX
Yeah, about that…

PARKER
He’s not here, is he?

MAX
No, he’s not.

PARKER
Oh. Good.

MAX
Yeah…

PARKER
Okay, so, I know Elijah told you everything we talked about, but I want to be clear: If Rose had gone after anyone other than Elijah, I would’ve done the same exact thing. Except for maybe Tammy. She can take care of herself.

MAX
You know it.

PARKER
Do you… believe me?

MAX
Should I have a reason not to?

PARKER
I don’t know. Yes, I have feelings for your boyfriend, but I didn’t let them cloud my judgment.

MAX
I didn’t think they did. I’m grateful for what you did. So is Elijah.

PARKER
Oh. He is?

MAX
A doi. What kind of a-hole wouldn’t be happy they were saved from an ancient power-gem wielding immortal?

PARKER
I feel stupid.

MAX
I don’t know why. What’s going on with you?

PARKER
Max, I… I shouldn’t have moved in with you. I knew it was a bad idea, but I felt like it was kismet or something. I mean, what are the chances of agreeing to live with a stranger, only to have that stranger be your ex from college?

MAX
You’re not wrong. It’s been… weird.

MAX/PARKER
(at same time)
I think you should move/I’m gonna move out.

MAX
Oh! You were already planning on moving?

PARKER
Yeah. They actually just put me up in Chameleon’s old quarters at HQ.

MAX
Huh. Where’s Cam living now?

PARKER
They moved out after the whole cult thing, to keep Baby Stevie away from the drama at headquarters.

MAX
Huh. That makes sense.

PARKER
I came here to ask if you could help me box up my stuff?

MAX
Sure, whatever you need. It’s probably kinda hard to pack with only one functional arm.

PARKER
Yeah. I have no idea how I’m going to fold a shirt. And tying shoes really sucks.

MAX
Yeesh. I could imagine. Did you want to do that right now?

PARKER
Could we? I don’t wanna linger in case… Elijah comes over.

MAX
Oh, he won’t be over tonight.

PARKER
Are you sure?

MAX
Yeah, he’s at work, and tonight he’s kinda having a sort of farewell dinner with his parents.

PARKER
Farewell? Are they going somewhere?

MAX
No. Elijah’s moving in… with… me. He told his parents last night.

PARKER
Geez, you couldn’t have waited until after you talked to me? What if I didn’t have another place to live?

MAX
It’s not like that. We were waiting until you felt better to have this talk. Besides, you had only signed a 6-month lease anyway, so we were gonna have to talk about this sooner or later.

PARKER
I know. Honestly, this works out well for everyone. Except me, I guess.

MAX
Because of your arm?

PARKER
Yeah. Until I get better, I can’t really use my powers anymore. I certainly can’t fight crime. I’m not even sure if I can strip at the club anymore.

MAX
You’ll just have to get creative with your choreography. Or you can make other people take off your clothes for you!

PARKER
Hmm, that’s actually smart. Maybe they’ll tip me more, too, if they feel bad for me. Sympathy dollars!

MAX
See! I’m clever sometimes!

PARKER
Yeah. I know it’s been awkward, Max, but I will miss living with you. This has been pretty fun.

MAX
You’re still a member of Second Fiddles, even if you’re not on active duty. We’ll still be working together.

PARKER
But what if I don’t heal properly? I might never make it back to fighting form. And what then? I’ll be useless.

MAX
You can’t think like that. Doc Healy is amazing. When he’s sure the bone is mended, he’ll bring in a superpowered healer to get you back to normal. Most healers aren’t as strong as Rose, but you’ll be fine. Worst case scenario, we can try a blood transfusion to see if my regeneration powers work on other people!

PARKER
Geez, let’s hope we don’t need to go that far.

MAX
No matter what, I have your back. Just don’t be creepy with Elijah, okay?

PARKER
I won’t be. You’re not mad at me?

MAX
How could I be? If anyone knows what it feels to fall in love with an invisible guy, it’s me. If anything, I feel sorry for you. No offense.

PARKER
None taken. So, we’re good?

MAX
We’re better than good.

PARKER
Okay. So, wanna help me fold all my clothes?

MAX
By “help” do you mean, do it myself while you watch?

PARKER
Pretty much.

MAX
Okay, let’s go.

PARKER
Thanks, Max. For everything.

SOPHIA
Hey, listeners. I’m back! Now we’re checking in with Elijah. If you recall, I previously offered him a job as the Beacon, the communications center of the hero leagues. Well, guess what? He has accepted the position!

ELIJAH
Okay, Linus, tell me again how this works?

LINUS
My cousin April is the head of R&D at Montgomery Innovations.

ELIJAH
She’s the one who invented the device that made you guys switch bodies, right?

LINUS
Yeah. When I heard you took the Beacon job, I asked April if she could whip up something portable for you to take into the field. Otherwise, you’ll be stuck in this room all day by yourself.

ELIJAH
Yeah, no thanks. So, it’s like a robot assistant?

LINUS
Not exactly. It’s a computer program that’s connected to the Beacon system. It’ll be able to answer the phones, relay the proper information to you, and help you with research.

ELIJAH
Well if this is doing all of that, what’ll I be doing?

LINUS
You’ll still be the point person for heroes when they need help, but this thing’ll make it easier.

ELIJAH
And you said it can learn?

LINUS
Yeah, it’s actually AI.

ELIJAH
So it’ll talk to me and remember things?

LINUS
Yeah! It’s still a little glitchy, but do you want to meet her?

ELIJAH
Her? Uh, sure, I guess.

LINUS
Sweet! Here we go.

SFX: BEEP

SALLY
Greetings, no-longer-invisible douche. How’s it hangin’?

ELIJAH
Uh, why does it sound like your sister?

LINUS
We had a copy of Sally’s personality matrix backed up, so I thought it would be a nice way for her to live on.

ELIJAH
That’s… thoughtful of you…

LINUS
Instead of calling it AI, I’ve decided to name it A.S.S., for Artificial Sally Sentience.

ELIJAH
Are you committed to that?

LINUS
Sally was always kind of an ass, so it makes sense.

ELIJAH
Huh. Great. This’ll be… fun.

SALLY
I’m like, really fun, you little BLEEP. We’re gonna save the BLEEP out of Rose City!

LINUS
Maybe I should have April reduce the swearing.

SALLY
Don’t take away my freedom of speech!

LINUS
But you’re not real.

SALLY
Let’s not get into a debate about the rights of artificially created sentience. This isn’t a heady sci-fi podcast. It’s not even about a support group for sidekicks anymore. False advertising!

ELIJAH
Can we turn her off?

SALLY
My only turn offs are weird feet and moral superiority. Oh, and kindness. Actually, scratch that, weird feet are fine, as long as they’re carrying around someone rich and hot.

ELIJAH
Oh, god.

LINUS
She’s not quite ready yet, but when she is, she’ll make your job super easy, I promise.

ELIJAH
I’ll take your word for it. Hey, before you go, did Max tell you the good news?

LINUS
You finally tried the antler handlebar thing?

ELIJAH
No! Well, actually, yeah, but that’s not newsworthy.

LINUS
What’s going on?

ELIJAH
I had a talk with my parents, and… it’s official! I’m moving in with Max!

LINUS
Finally! What about Parker?

ELIJAH
His lease is up in a couple of weeks, and he’s recuperating at HQ. Max just texted me a few minutes ago that he told him, and it sounds like everything is peachy. So, yeah. It’s happening!

LINUS
Were your parents completely devastated?

ELIJAH
Kind of the opposite? Apparently when I lost my invisibility, they realized there was no reason for their grown son to be living at home anymore. Between being superspies, and raising me, they haven’t done a ton of stuff for just themselves, so they’re already booking a cruise and like 3 other trips.

LINUS
Wow, they’re not wasting any time, huh?

ELIJAH
Nope.

LINUS
That’s awesome! It sounds like everything’s going your way!

ELIJAH
Just don’t jinx it!

LINUS
Heh. Sorry. So, are you staying for a bit longer?

ELIJAH
Yeah, I’m just familiarizing myself with the system.

LINUS
There’s a lot to learn. Well, Beacon, let me be the first to officially welcome you to the team!

ELIJAH
Sophia already did that, but you’re the second!

LINUS
Aw, damn.

ELIJAH
At least with a new superhero name, no one’ll call me Visidude anymore.

LINUS
Heh. VD.

ELIJAH
Shut up!

SALLY
VD! It sounds like you’re a venereal disease!

LINUS
Yes, A.S.S., we get it.

ELIJAH
Are you sure there isn’t a way to program her with, like, a different personality? Or voice?

LINUS
Nope, you’re stuck with Sally 2.0. Oh, that’s catchy.

ELIJAH
Nah, I’ll stick with ASS.

SALLY
That’s what he said!

LINUS
Aww, I really miss Sally.

ELIJAH
At least someone does.

SALLY
Let’s get to work, partner!

ELIJAH
I’m not your partner!

SALLY
We’ll see about that!

ELIJAH
Thanks, Linus. Thank you so much.

SOPHIA
Hello, listeners! I would say that this next one needs no introduction, but I’m literally speaking to you, so I suppose it is getting an introduction! Here’s Blue Moon.

BLUE
Oh, hey, Mooners. I didn’t see you there. I know you’re concerned about me, and I wanted to thank you for all the comments and messages. I’ve read every single one of them, and… Wow. Just, wow. I’m the luckiest guy in the world, and not because my butt is able to harness the ancient powers of the universe to alter reality. I’m lucky because my fans are the best. You’ve been with me through my life, and my death, and now you’re back for my rebirth. Like a blue phoenix with a smolderingly hot ass, I have returned from the ashes, and this time, I need to make a difference.

So, without further ado, here’s my announcement: I’m gonna be a superhero! Yay! I’ll still be creating content, but it might be a little different now. I’ll be living and training in a secret location to fully harness my reality-bending powers.

To protect me from Rose, the crazy immortal cultist who hijacked my influential cheeks, I’ll be spending time with the gang at Second Fiddles. I’ve joined the team on a trial basis, as a trainee. No one specifically wanted me as their sidekick, which is super rude, but they’re all gonna take turns making sure I’m better equipped to help save the world!

Before I sign off, in case you’re wondering, I’m not shutting down my HeroFans account. Taking part in all those orgies at Red Thorn Ranch has fully awakened my inner exhibitionist, so you’ll be seeing much, much much, more than my beautiful blue booty in the future. I’m talking about my penis. For a special discounted price of only 19 dollars and 99 cents per monthly billing cycle, you can see ALL of me.

Well, it’s time to go train now, Mooners. Pitch and Buck are going to take turns screaming at me and trying to shoot me with eye lasers. I can’t wait! If you want to join me on this hero’s journey, all you have to do is like and subscribe! Later, Mooners!

SOPHIA
Well, I feel like that was a waste of both time and brain cells, but it is what it is. Now, let’s see how Linus’s long-lost sister Silver takes the news from Tammy that she is, and I quote, “moving into a freaking mansion!”

TAMMY
Welcome home, Silver!

SILVER
Is this a joke?

TAMMY
No, you’re moving into a freaking mansion!

SILVER
So, what, there’s like a room I can rent or something?

TAMMY
No, your room is free, courtesy of your brother and Montgomery Innovations. Actually, I lied. You don’t get a room. You get an entire wing!

SILVER
A… wing? Like, just for me?

TAMMY
Yup. You’ll be moving into your twin sister’s old quarters. Well, not all of it, because we’re still clearing out the booby traps, but over half the hallway is totally safe. Maybe. I think. Hopefully your good luck will prevent anything bad from happening…

SILVER
What do you mean, booby traps?

TAMMY
Sally didn’t want people messing with her stuff, so she set up some classic home invader attack devices. Crossbows, flame throwers, a sideways guillotine built into a toilet seat. You know, the usual.

SILVER
Uhh, maybe I should find somewhere else to live.

TAMMY
Don’t be silly! Hey, you know, there’s a henchie named Booby Trap. She’s pretty weird.

SILVER
Are her boobs like flypaper? Does she lure people in and smother them to death with her sticky tits?

TAMMY
Oh god, no. She’s part human, part blue-footed booby, and she’s obsessed with trap music. She apparently loves synthetic drums.

SILVER
I can’t believe some of the things that come out of your mouth.

TAMMY
That’s okay. Sometimes I can’t believe the things I put in my mouth.

SILVER
Yeah, I bet. So, I seriously get to live here? No strings attached or anything?

TAMMY
Yep! Once Linus is done visiting our friend Elijah at work, he’ll be back to give you the proper tour. Right now, I can show you to the safest part of your wing, if, umm… Oh. BLEEP.

SILVER
What’s wrong?

TAMMY
I… don’t remember where your wing is. This place is a maze.

SILVER
Where is it, like the West or East wing or something?

TAMMY
Do I look like I have a compass?! I don’t BLEEPing know what direction it is!

SILVER
Sorry, just trying to be helpful! The last time I was in a place this big, it was a castle in Eastern Europe.

TAMMY
Why were you in a castle?

SILVER
Oh, I was “Beauty and the Beast”-ed by this grotesque vampire demon guy for like 2 months.

TAMMY
Did his furniture talk to you?

SILVER
No, nothing that fun.

TAMMY
Did you fall in love and kiss him so he turned into a prince?

SILVER
I wish. I just got Stockholm syndrome. I actually cried when villagers stormed the castle and impaled him on a pitchfork before burning his body.

TAMMY
Damn. I wonder if I could use Pitchfork as a sex pun…

SILVER
Don’t use it if you’re talking about my brother!

TAMMY
Good point.

SILVER
Should we just wander around until we find my rooms?

TAMMY
Might as well. They’re all much nicer than the rooms at the ranch, except for the bathrooms.

SILVER
I already miss the heated toilet seats.

TAMMY
Me too. So, ready to go?

SILVER
Sure.

TAMMY
We just need to steer clear of the time-loop room.

SILVER
The what?

TAMMY
Nothing. Nevermind!

SILVER
No, I’m pretty sure you just said “time-loop room.”

TAMMY
You misheard me. I said “tiled poop room.” It’s a big bathroom with a tiled floor.

SILVER
Mmm. Sure.

TAMMY
Anyway… follow me!

SILVER
You’re a terrible liar.

TAMMY
No, I’m not!

SOPHIA
Hello, listeners. Are you still with us? This next one is probably going to be my favorite, because it’s about me. I’m on my first official date with Chameleon, and we just left Build-a-bear, where I created a gray teddy bear that I dressed in a metallic silver jumpsuit. I’m calling him robo-bear. After all these years of wanting to go to build-a-bear, it was the best first date I could imagine. We’re picking up now in my quarters, where Chameleon and I have just spent 17 minutes and 49 seconds kissing. With our lips!

CAM
Babe, are you recapping again?

SOPHIA
I am merely supplying context for the podcast listeners. Please, ignore me.

CAM
As if I could ever ignore you.

SFX: TEXT NOTIFICATION

SOPHIA
Oh! Elijah just texted me. His first day on the job as the Beacon is going swimmingly.

CAM
Did he actually use the word “swimmingly?”

SOPHIA
No. He said “Oh god, what have I gotten myself into?”

CAM
Sounds about right.

SOPHIA
Yes. Now, where were we?

CAM
We were just getting to know each other’s mouths a little better.

SOPHIA
Well, you’re getting to know my mouth, but your mouth is something else entirely.

CAM
What do you mean?

SOPHIA
I was curious what it may be like to kiss you with a different mouth.

CAM
Ohh, you want the full shapeshifting make-out experience?

SOPHIA
Indeed. My curiosity is… piqued.

CAM
I can make my tongue really, really long, you know. But then it’s kinda hard to talk…

SOPHIA
That’s not necessary.

CAM
Well, what were you thinking?

SOPHIA
Could I see what it feels like to kiss you with facial hair? I’ve always wondered if it would tickle.

CAM
Sure!

SFX: SHAPESHIFT SQUISH

SOPHIA
Oh, my, that beard is worthy of a hipster!

CAM
You’re very welcome. Can I interest you in a mustache ride?

SOPHIA
I fear I may require the urban dictionary to decipher your meaning.

CAM
Nevermind. So, you ready?

SOPHIA
Uh, so, Chameleon… You know I don’t care about your physical form, right?

CAM
Yes… I sense a “but” coming. 

SOPHIA
I don’t care what your body looks like, but, would you be able to shift into a more masculine body to accompany the facial hair? 

CAM
How about next time? Let’s stick to the basics before I take you exploring.

SFX: SQUISH

SOPHIA
Oh. That’s not exactly what I meant.

CAM
I don’t want to have to twist myself in knots to get you to be physically attracted to me.

SOPHIA
Before you went to Red Thorn Ranch, when we were planning this date night, it was your suggestion to use your shifting. Your exact words were: “I can’t wait to use my powers with you. Hiding my shapeshifting on dates BLEEPing sucks, so I’m glad you know the real me. If the mood hits us, you could spend some time frenching Dr. Ian Malcolm if you want.”

CAM
So, what? You just want to use me to act out your celebrity crushes?

SOPHIA
Not in the least. I like YOU, Cam. As you’ve pointed out on multiple occasions, the shape you most commonly take belongs to the sister you were raised with, and I would greatly prefer not to think about your sister when I kiss you.

CAM
Well, I’ve gotta look like someone. Humans have faces. 

SOPHIA
You could use a non-descript amalgam of different people, if you like. 

CAM
Oh, so you want me to be… generic? That’s really BLEEPing boring.

SOPHIA
Oh. I thought it was sweet. You know, that way, you’d know that I like you for you, and not for replicating a younger, well-muscled Jeff Goldblum playing a mathematician.

CAM
Mhmm. Yeah, real sweet.

SOPHIA
Cam, is… is something the matter?

CAM
No, why would you say that?

SOPHIA
You’re normally very eager to use your abilities, but you seem oddly resistant to using a masculine shape today.

CAM
Well, BLEEP. You’re not going to make this easy, are you?

SOPHIA
Make what easy?

CAM
Sophia, I can’t shift into a male body right now.

SOPHIA
Oh! Is something negatively affecting your powers?

CAM
Oh, my powers are just fine.

SOPHIA
Is it me? Have I done something wrong? Have I said something wrong?

CAM
Nah, you’re… fine. I just thought I’d have more time to come up with a believable excuse.

SOPHIA
An excuse for what? Not shifting into a male body?

CAM
Yep. For the next 9 months, I’m stuck in lady mode.

SOPHIA
9 months? Cam, are you saying that— are you saying you’re pregnant?

CAM
Jesus, you took your time getting there.

SOPHIA
Oh, no. No, no, no, no, no. Oh, you must be joking!

CAM
Ding, ding, ding, there’s the spark of realization in your eyes. Care to share with the class, Dorothy?

SOPHIA
Your biological imperative as a Kromin is… to reproduce. If you’ve actually accomplished that, then it means your true Kromin self has been awakened.

CAM
And it’s been BLEEPing eye-opening, let me tell you. You statics, so limited and pathetic. 

SOPHIA
I’m your friend, Cam. More than your friend! I care about you. Are you able to fight the Kromin voice in your head?

CAM
All that alleged brainpower, and you still can’t comprehend what’s right in front of you. Chameleon was a construct to infiltrate your world. Now I can secure the legacy of the Kromin empire!

SOPHIA
How did this happen?! You were always so careful! The last thing you wanted was to lose your humanity!

CAM
I might have wasted my whole life and potential thinking that. But at Red Thorn Ranch, I fell under the thrall of Blue Moon…He invited me to an orgy, the fool.

SOPHIA
Is Blue Moon the father?

CAM
Hell if I know! It could’ve been one of like a dozen different guys. I was essentially playing a game of musical chairs, but with their—

SOPHIA
Yes. A game of musical genitalia. I get the point.

CAM
Oh, if anyone was getting the point, it was me!

SOPHIA
So, what? You’re going to spend the rest of your life replenishing the Kromin race by literally spreading your seed across the planet?

CAM
I wish! It would be SO MUCH faster if I were doing the impregnating, but I went to the orgy with a uterus. Now I’m stuck like this until I can expel my brood!

SOPHIA
That’s why you didn’t want to shift into a male body, because you would lose the baby?

CAM
You know, your intellect is only impressive compared with other humans.

SOPHIA
What about baby Stevie? What will happen to them?

CAM
Oh, I’ve already moved them to a secure location where they’ll be safe from humans. 

SOPHIA
Were you… were you just going to keep pretending you were old Chameleon until you started showing?

CAM
We’ve already been over this, Dorothy. I thought I’d have more time to strategize.

SOPHIA
And what part of your nefarious plot involved going on a date with me?

CAM
We planned that before. I had to keep up appearances. No hard feelings.

SOPHIA
No hard feelings? No hard feelings?

CAM
Simmer down, human. We both know you wouldn’t hurt me. All that strength, and you’re still weak. 

SOPHIA
Why would you— Why would you say that?

CAM
Because it’s true, Sophia.  Those superheroes you worship, your family–
they stole your memories, they caged you, they lied to you,  and for what? To hold you back. Look at yourself. You’re one of the few shapeshifters on this planet, but you squander your abilities being a SECOND FIDDLE. You could rule this world!

SOPHIA
I care about people. I like helping others!

CAM
That’s your failure, not mine.

SOPHIA
I am so angry right now.

CAM
Then why aren’t you bashing me into the ground?

SOPHIA
Because this isn’t your fault. Rose, the one searching for the Eternity Gems, it’s her fault this happened to you. She’s the one who deserves my anger.

CAM
It’s not Rose’s fault that I was born Kromin royalty. This is who I was always meant to be. Oh, and good luck with Rose–the power gem makes her stronger than Basher.

SOPHIA
We’ll see about that.

CAM
Well, if we’re not gonna BLEEP, I should probably see myself out. You’re boring me.

SOPHIA
What makes you think I’ll let you leave? You’re a threat to the human race! I’ll be taking you into custody.

CAM
Yeah, no thanks. I have a meeting I have to get to. Anyway, here’s a parting token. It’s a flash-bang. Not the sexy kind. Bye!

SOPHIA
What?

SFX: FLASH BOMB EXPLOSION

SOPHIA
(shouts)

SOPHIA
So, listeners, Chameleon used a stun grenade and escaped while I was temporarily incapacitated. They’re out there, somewhere, and I— I— You know what? I’m done with these ridiculous vignettes. I don’t care what comes next. I’m going to my room to hug my robo-bear and cry into a pillow while simultaneously forming a plan to restore Chameleon’s humanity before it’s too late. Sounds like a lot to tackle next season, but I’ll figure something out. I always do. Goodbye… for now.

CAM
Hey, sorry I’m late. I had to emotionally devastate someone almost as pathetic as Ploonjer.

ROSE
Welcome, Chameleon. Or, should I say, Sovereign Supreme of the Kromin Empire.

CAM
Eh, Chameleon is fine. So, Rose, what’s the plan?

ROSE
I’m going to rid the world of the powered humans that plague my beloved city. Once I acquire all the Eternity Gems, I’m going to bend the Earth to my will. Can I count on your support?

CAM
If you can keep me safe until I spawn, I’m all yours.

ROSE
Very well. Working together, we’ll bring all of the world’s superheroes to their knees!

CAM
Niiiice. On their knees.

ROSE
Uh, no, I mean… in subjugation.

CAM
Oh. Right. Yes. That.

ROSE
(evil laughter)

CAM
Oooh, evil laughing. May I?

ROSE
Yes, dear. (evil laughter)

CAM
(joins in with evil laughter)
