Breaking News/Transcript

Speaker	Dialogue
[Opening shot: It is a peaceful day in Metropolis. A crowd of people are going about their business when they suddenly stop upon hearing the sound of screeching. The crowd gasps as they look up at the sky. Tilt up to show a giant moth monster flying overhead. This is Killer Moth. The crowd screams in terror as they flee from the moth, except for a little boy who is holding a teddy bear and stands there as Killer Moth lands in front of him. The boy gasps in fright as Killer Moth towers over him. Killer Moth screeches menacingly at the boy when three Batarangs are thrown into the street light pole in front of him. He turns to his left to where the batarangs were thrown. The thrower was revealed to be none other than Batgirl. Which means the Super Hero Girls show up and they fight off Killer Moth as pictures of them are taken with white flash. With Wonder Woman kicking it while it was off-guard. Bumblebee then flew around the moth mutant, making it dizzy. The Moth is then blasted into the air with magic by Zatanna, who then blows her finger like a gun. Green Lantern catches the creature in a construct net and swings it over to Supergirl, who flies in and punches Killer Moth sky-high.]
[Cut to the Superhero Girls surrounded by a crowd of people with a pull back as Supergirl lands among her teammates. The crowd cheers as Batgirl, Supergirl, and Wonder Woman pose for the crowd, Green Lantern and Bumblebee just give smiles, Zatanna was blowing the crowd kisses, Jessica waved at them. In the crowd, Jimmy Olsen, snaps a picture of the Superheroes as the flash covers the screen.]
[It later fades into a desk where Jimmy lays out the photos of the Superhero Girls for approval. A pair of arms picks up the pictures, then the camera tilts up to reveal that it is Lois Lane, who looks through the photos.]
Lois Lane	Come on, Olsen, I asked for a scoop and you bring me vanilla. Super Hero Girls save the day? (throws pictures away in the trash) It’s as stale as the half donut under my desk! (that's no hyperbole. A half-eaten donut is seen laying under there. She shows Jimmy a newspaper and points at its brand. Note that the newspaper is similar to the one in "Super Who?") I am angling for a spot at the Daily Planet here, kid. (stands up) What I need is a story that will wow ‘em. Something riveting. Something… spectacular. Something… Not that. What? [gasps] You might be on to something, Olsen. What if it’s not about covering the Super Hero Girls? What if it’s about uncovering them?
[Cut to Jessica, who is shocked when she overheard this.]
[Lois paces across the screen, transitioning to the cafeteria. There, we see Lincoln and the girls at their table. Jessica addresses the gang about what she heard, as the camera zooms in on them.]
Kara	Big deal. Lois Lane writes stories about us all the time.
Jess	You don’t understand. (O.S. as she continues) She’s really good, you guys! If she wants to uncover our secret identities, she won’t stop until she does! Everyone will know we are! All eyes will be on us at all times! (As Jessica explains, the camera zooms in slightly on Karen, who, while drinking her juice, grows frantic and slurps hard) We’ll never have any privacy! News outlets outside our doors! Evildoers following our every move! And when our parents find out… (Karen stops and freezes, her cheeks puffed up and pupils shrunken in shock. Back to Jessica) ...we’re gonna be in so much trouble, you guys!
Karen	(frantically, as she empties a brown paper bag of lunch) No, no, no! (breathes heavily into the bag) I’m too much of a nobody to be that kind of a somebody! (keeps breathing into the bag)
Kara	Calm down. We’ve been doing this for ages now. Nobody is going to figure out who we are. Not even Lois Lane.
[Timeskip]
Lois	Got the pudding… now for the proof.
[Timeskip]
[Locker door slams]
Lois	Zee Zatara!
Zee	[gasps]
Lois	Got time for a few questions?
Zee	Uh…
Lois	About the amazing magic show?
Zee	Oh! [chuckles] Well, what I’m doing isn’t just a magic show. It’s a performance, that artfully blends divination, transfiguration and conjuration with a dash of incantation to create a unique and surreal experience.
Lois	Great, great. And where were you on the night Sweet Justice was destroyed?
Zee	Oh! I was there with all my friends. You know, the Super- [hesitatingly] friends I… have. [chuckles nervously] My friends who are super… and totally normal. [shrieks]
[Timeskip]
Karen	I’m feeling better. I haven’t needed this for almost an hour.
Zee	Jess! You were right about Lois. She’s a word wizard whose unassuming charms nearly match my own. She’s totally on to us!
Karen	Ah!
Jess	This is bad. We can’t let her talk to anyone else.
Zee	Yeah, agreed.
Karen	[hyperventilating]
Zee	She can’t out us if she can’t- Good gravy! She’s talking to Hal!
Hal	Oh! Oh, that’s Hal. H-A-L. Jordon. J-O-R-D-O-N.
Lois	Uh, pretty sure it’s an A-N.
Hal	It is?
Zee	Sorry.
Jess	School stuff.
[Hal is dragged off by Zee, Jess, and Karen]
Zee	What did she ask you? What did she say?
Hal	Whoa, whoa, whoa!
Jess	I don’t believe in violence. But I’m willing to make an exception.
Hal	Chill, ladies. All she did was ask me some very pointed questions about the Zod incident. And I told her she should talk to Barry, because he is the real storyteller in the group. Oh, hey! Did you know it’s J-O-R-D-A-N?
[Timeskip]
Barry	Then she asked about my job at Sweet Justice, which was nice ‘cause people know I work there but no one really asks about it, you know? And she asked if I was there when it got destroyed, which I totally was. And it was the same day I met the Super Hero Girls and you guys at, you guessed it… Sweet Justice! Small world, huh?
Jess	Barry... did you tell Lois we were at Sweet Justice right before the Super Hero Girls showed up?
Barry	That is a great question. And I don’t remember. But Lois wrote it all down very fast, so you can maybe ask her?
Karen	[hyperventilating]
[Dissolve to the Cafeteria. The girls and Lincoln are at their table. Karen is still hyperventilating in her brown bag.]
Zee	You guys, Lois is definitely on our tails.
Karen	Yeah.
Kara	Oh! (scoffs) Please! You’re just being paranoid. It’s not like she’s out there watching our every move.
[But she is proven wrong as her eyes widen upon seeing something offscreen. Pull back to reveal Lois is indeed there, sitting at another table from just feet away across the room from theirs and watching them, a pencil and notebook in hands. Cut back to the group's table; Karen's paper bag pops.]
Babs	(gasps and stands up) I recognize that stare. It’s a classic, “I’m trying to put the pieces together” detective stare. Quick, you guys, nobody move!
[The Super Hero Girls stay still, Lois writes something in her notepad]
Babs	That didn’t work. everybody move.
[The Super Hero Girls move around awkwardly, Lois takes more notes]
Babs	That didn’t work either. Run!
[Lois writes something down]
[Timeskip]
[From outside the window, three killer moths are seen flying at a phone tower and attacking it. Electricity crackles as the moths manage to take it down and fly off. Pull back to frame the girls in a classroom watching this through the window.]
Super Hero Girls	Bathroom!
Lois	(o.c.) You’ll need the pass.
[The camera pulls back to frame her holding a yellow hall pass on the last word glancing at them. The girls put their hands down slowly]
Moth	[screeching]
[Timeskip]
[The girls are attacked by a Killer Moth out outside, Lois writes it down]
[Timeskip]
[Crowd clamoring after Super Hero Girls take down some of the moths]
[Batgirl throws away a Burrito Bucket wrapper then sees Lois takes it from the trash]
[Timeskip]
Babs	Argh! I can’t believe I left evidence behind. Such a rookie move. From now on, we eat all food wrappers!
Karen	Um, does anyone think we should do something about all these moths that keep showing up?
Kara	Priorities please, Karen! [throws weight through ceiling] What should we do about Lois?
Babs	Hey, Zee, isn’t there some kind of mind webbing spell that could erase Lois’ memory?
Zee	[gasps] Yes, yes, there is. But… I don’t know it. It’s like super hard.
Kara	I got an idea. [Flexes arm]
Jess	Not every problem can be punched into space, Kara.
Kara	Oh.
Diana	We must stop running from the problem and face it directly.
Kara	[Flexes arm]
Diana	No space punching. Something much more cunning.
[Timeskip]
Diana	Greetings, Lois Lane. ‘Tis I, Diana Prince. Hark! Across the street! Is that Wonder Woman?
[Karen is on Jess’ shoulders in a Wonder Woman costume, they grunt as they try to stay balanced]
Diana	I am pleased to be all the way over here to witness Her Majesty.
[Lois jots something onto her notepad]
[Timeskip]
Moth	[Screeches]
Supergirl	Yeah! Whoo-hoo! I needed that space punch so bad! [chuckles] Now, why are we still here?
Batgirl	A good reporter always investigates the scene of a crime. So when Lois shows up after our fight looking for evidence, instead she’ll find the false evidence I planted a realize we are not Super Hero Girls.
[Lois arrives and starts looking around with a magnifying glass]
Batgirl	And that somebody else is.
Lois	[ picks up a library card belonging to Garth sniffs it and throws it away] This was Barbra Gordon. [Writes notes down]
Supergirl	[grumbles] How is she this good?
Batgirl	We got to get that book.
[Timeskip]
[Locker opens]
[Bumblebee buzzes after Lois, pulls the notepad from her backpack and flies away]
Babs	Did you get it?
Karen	Yeah.
Babs	Ha! Without whatever she has been scribbling, she’ll never have the evidence to dis- [Babs opens the notebook and the first page has “WRONG NOTEBOOK LADIES!!! :P” written on it]
Super Hero Girls	[gasp]
[Karen faints]
[Timeskip]
Jess	We have failed.
Kara	Why didn’t you warn us about her, Jess?
Jess	I did, like a zillion times.
Zee	Oh, what a surprise. There she is.
[Lois watches them from the other side of the room]
Jess	Once she publishes that story, everyone will know who we are. Our normal lives will be over.
Diana	This is our final taste of Sweet Justice as ordinary, world of man adolescence. May we take solace in our tasty treats. [chomping]
Kara	Well, I guess I’ll have to find a new town to be unappreciated in.
[people panicking in the background]
Karen	[gasps]
Killer Moth	[growls]
Zee	[...]-before it even started. Everyone will see my tricks are just real magic. [groans]
Babs	My Batman dreams are over. He’ll never work for some who can’t keep a secret identity.
Karen	Um, guys?
Jess	And I’ll have to leave this space sector to Hal Jordan who can’t even spell his own name. We are all doomed!
Karen	Guys! [points outside to the destruction Killer Moth is causing]
Super Hero Girls	[gasps]
[Lois Lane smirks at them, block the exit]
Super Hero Girls	[gasps]
Babs	Maybe if we wait just a little bit, some other superhero will handle it.
[Super Hero Girls try to act unsuspicious]
TV Reporter	Breaking news. Killer Moth and its army of moth-monsters have invaded Metropolis. As of this hour, no superhero team has yet stepped up to save us from this swarm of vicious invaders.
[Super Hero Girls glance at Lois Lane nervously, she smirks back ready to write down whatever they do, they continue in a stand off as the moths attack outside Sweet Justice]
[A moth smacks into the window right behind Lois and startles her out of her seat giving the Super Hero Girls a chance to escape]
[Lois watches the Super Hero Girls fight off the moths on TV]
[Killer Moth screeches at the attack on their kin and launches themself at the heroes]
[They collide and the Super Hero Girls come out victorious]
Lois	[watching the news] Bingo.
[Timeskip]
[Lois types vigorously at her desk in the newsroom]
Lois	Daily Planet internship, here I come. [Lois hovers over the send button on the form and looks at the newspaper clips of the Super Hero Girls scattered around the room]
[She frowns, presses the delete button, and closes her computer]
Lois	[Sighs]
[Timeskip]
[The school bell rings and the Super Hero Girls try to act unnoticeable]
Karen	Ahh!
Babs	[whistles nonchalantly as Lois Lane walks by]
Zee	[gasps] Did you see her not seeing us?
Karen	Yeah. There was no eye contact. That’s more what I’m used to.
Babs	Yeah! We did it, gals. We totally got her off our tail.
Diana	Huzzah!
Jess	We did it!
Kara	Keep walking, Lane.
Lois	[walking away] Ah, dummies. [opens newspaper, headline reading “Superman: Great or Greatest?”] Superman, eh? Expose that guy and you got yourself the scoop of scoops. “Written by the Daily Planet’s Newest Intern: Clark Kent” [scoffs] Enjoy your time at the Daily Planet, Kent. I’m coming for you next.
