Scene 5 opens with SVF talking to Veronica in the living room
Johnny/SVF: He nearly got himself killed today!
Veronica: How?!
Johnny/SVF: This creature or whatever named Zombiathan was causing chaos and Warrior tried to fight him, but he proved to be too much.
Veronica: Oh my goodness… Was Warrior okay?
Johnny/SVF: He was fine, but I’m just worried about him.
Veronica: Worried that he’s gonna get himself killed?
Johnny/SVF: Yes, as I’ve said before.
Veronica: *sighs* He’s always just so antsy to get out there and save the city, but… I don’t even know.
Johnny/SVF: I mean… I’m proud of him for wanting to bring justice. But he’s still a kid. Bullies in the hall are one thing, but city monsters… I don’t even want to think about what would have happened if I hadn’t showed up.
Veronica: *walks over to him and rubs his shoulder* The important thing is that you were there. God knows what he’s doing. *turns SVF to face her* Look at me. Nothing, I repeat, nothing is going to happen to Warrior. Okay?
Johnny/SVF: *smiles weakly* Okay. *leans in and kisses Veronica* We are going to protect Warrior, no matter what.
Veronica: Yes we are.
Johnny/SVF: Oh, by the way, he was with that Felicity girl.
Veronica: *tenses* Was he now?
Johnny/SVF: Yeah. She seems nice enough. She clearly likes him.
Veronica: I’m sure. Warrior is a handsome young man who happens to have pro ass kickers as his parents.
Johnny/SVF: You don’t think she has good intentions.
Veronica: I think she has hormones, like everyone else. And considering she is atheist, I’m not sure how many morals she has.
Johnny/SVF: *gives Veronica a concerned look* It isn’t like you to assume the worst in people.
Veronica: I’m trying not to assume. We haven’t told him he can’t see this girl, have we?
Johnny/SVF: No.
Veronica: Exactly. If I was assuming, I would have told him no.
Johnny/SVF: Fair enough. If, and I say if, she tries something with him, we will pull the plug on this.
Veronica: Hopefully, he has the willpower to withstand the temptation to do yuck with her.
Johnny/SVF: *chuckles at the use of ‘yuck’* I’m sure he will. We raised him to be a very standup guy.
Veronica: Yes we did. Just like his dad.
Johnny/SVF: And just like his mom.
Veronica: *smiles and pulls SVF into a hug*
Johnny/SVF: *hugs her back* Don’t worry about it too much. Think happy thoughts.
Veronica: Happy thoughts… yes.
Johnny/SVF: Yes. Like this vacation I booked.
Veronica: Oh, you booked it? Great! When is it?
Johnny/SVF: Five days from now. We leave early Monday morning.
Veronica: Sweet! Where are we going?
Johnny/SVF: Remember that beach house we went to for our honeymoon on that tiny little island?
Veronica: Yeah.
Johnny/SVF: I booked that. But the people who run the place have added a ton more stuff. They have excursions you can book.
Veronica: Awesome! I can’t wait to tell Warrior.
Johnny/SVF: Me neither. He should be home soon from pizza with Felicity. We can tell him then.
Veronica: Great! Let’s do it.
Johnny/SVF: *tightens the hug before kissing the top of her head*
