Lex Sense: I sit here in the black, thinking about days gone by. Wondering if maybe things would be different if I had chosen a different path. One without all the insanity.
Then again, one can't choose to be insane.
I know Angel. You're mad. You're angry. You're seeking revenge. Do I blame you? Of course not. In fact, it's what's to be expected from someone of your caliber. You are one of the immortals in this business. Set to live on even after you're gone. I expected no less than your vengeance when I took you across my knee and nearly broke you in half.
And now here you are. Ready to rip me a new asshole and continue down your road of predictability.
{Sense stands in between two pillars of fire. No, not real flames but huge paintings of them. His face is shrouded in shadows but his mannerism seems a bit odd. A bit... different.}
Lex Sense: What if I was to ask for your forgiveness? What if I got down on my knees and pleaded for mercy? Would you forgive me?
Of course not.
This is the business after all. We aim to hurt other men for sport. It has nothing to do with man versus monster or good versus evil. Most men in our business do it to fill an empty void in their lives while earning a quick buck. Men like you and I though, we do it because we can't resist the urge to force men to bend to our will.
We are not monsters. We're simply incapable of doing anything else.
Our lives, though traveled on different roads, brought us to this dark point in our lives. And yes, I do regret some of the things I've done. I am simply a man painting my face to hide the scars and wounds. My family rejected this bizarro version of my true self and for a while,...
I reveled in the blood lust.
I wont lie to you, nearly ending your life gave me the biggest boner known to man.
{Sense pushes the painted pillars away with his outstretched hands and they topple to the floor. Suddenly, real flames rise from the paintings as they are lit ablaze by some unknown fire. Sense is suddenly showered in light from the bouncing flames as they dance on his face. The paint on his face has been washed off and he stands before you as a new man. Somehow, he stands a little different and each word that leaves his lips has more purpose behind them.}
Lex Sense: You truly taught me a valuable lesson Angel. You see, I thought that by ending your illustrious career I would satiate this hunger and quench this thirst,...
But it only made the hole in the pit of my stomach wider.
It never ends Angel. I take you out, you come back for revenge and then I seek retribution. This is the circle of our lives. Everyday is a new challenge. Everyday, a new test to take. It's a neverending cycle of violence. One that I will soon have to walk away from. I could sit here and explain the reason why the countdown on my career, and possibly my life, has begun but what's the point. You'll just do what you do best and rip my reasoning apart as you make a mockery of the distress in my life. You are a destroyer of worlds Angel. Your tales of domination are world renowned.
I knew about you before I even stepped foot in the same country you reside in.
Your legendary status was apparent even after your short hiatus. Yes, I put you on the shelf for some time but now you are back. Guns'a'blazing and better than ever. You are here to show me what a monster truly is. Here to put me in my place and show me a world of pain I never knew existed. All I can really say is,...
Good luck mate.
{Sense backs away from the camera as the flames rise and burn this scene away. Slowly but surely, the flames contort and disfigure until it transitions into an office where Lex sits behind a desk. The mahogany wood looking like a child's toy underneath Lex's massive frame. His hands are behind his head while he leans back in his chair. He rubs the back of his neck as he cracks the joints.}
Lex Sense: That's the way it's going to be Mr. West.
Mr. West: There's going to be some heavy backlash after a certain few here about this drastic change in your last will and testament. As your lawyer, I would advice against such hasty decisions.
{Sense pushes away from the desk and stands to his feet. He stares out of the window into the front yard of the newly redesigned Menston. A car pulls up and two little girls jump out from the back, seemingly excited to be in this depressing place for the mentally insane.}
Lex Sense: My father's empire wasn't built for those that take advantage of it. It wasn't built for you or any of those suits in Higher Authority. He built his empire for a better future for his sons. A better future for his family. A family that I destroyed in one day. An empire I hijacked in one day. I'm done destroying West. I wish to rebuild.
Mr. West: You're beginning to sound like your father. What's next? Reunion with your daughters.
{Sense turns to smile at the older Brit. The loyal lawyer to the Sense family since he could remember. He then stares out the window to the front yard as the two little girls walk hand in hand with Sense's ex wife. They head to the front doors of the building.}
Lex Sense: You read my mind West.
Mr. West: Actually, I read your travel expenses and noticed the discrepancy. It seemed kind of odd at the time but it's all starting to make sense.
Lex Sense: You'll have to excuse me if I ignore your pun.
Mr. West: Of course.
Dr. Lyons: Why are they here?
{Lex and West are interrupted as Dr. Lyons steps into the office with furrowed eyebrows. She is not a happy camper.}
Lex Sense: Because I invited them. I needed to talk to Alice and I asked her to bring her daughters here as well.
Dr. Lyons: This is ridiculous. You should be training. Angel has made his intentions known and you should be doing every...
Lex Sense: Do not worry about me Jennifer. I'm a big boy. Now if you'll excuse me, I have a meeting to attend to and then a flight back to the states to catch.
[Sense pushes past the good doctor and walks out of the door. Mr. West starts gathering the papers before him as Dr. Lyons glances curiously at what is written on them.}
Dr. Lyons: You've got to be f*cking kidding me!?! Is he serious?
Mr. West: When is he not?
{She turns on her heel and storms away as a wry smile appears on the older gentlemen. The scene slowly fades to black. That is until a spotlight shines down on Sense, who now stands in ash.}
Lex Sense: Do your best mate.
Do everything you can to cripple me. While I understand why you seek retribution, I am in no mood to cower before your triumphant return. I deserve to be taken down a peg or two. I have, for some time now, taken everything in my life for granted. I have forgotten what was truly important. It's not my search for peace. It's not my blood lust. It's not how many titles I wear around my waist.
It's all about the fight now.
It's all I have left. It's all I can do now. How much I can take and give and how long I could do it for will only be answered in time. This might be my last stand Angel and I am going to do everything in my power to leave my foot print behind.
I started this and now you wish to end it but I am going to do everything in my power to overcome everything you have to give me.
I thank you in advance. You showed me a better way. When I did everything in my power to end you, I saw that I was only taking another step closer to my ending. I know that you think I should feel shame for regretting choices I've made but the way I see it is...
I'm only human. Regret makes me human.
You're the monster here. You're the one that we should fear. I'm just a man with failure written across my forehead. Yes, I admit it. I am a failure as you so eloquently stated but I want you to keep this in mind. While I have failed in certain aspects of my life and career,...
I didn't fail in embarrassing you in front of everyone you loved.
I didn't fail in making a GOD bleed.
