Rain. Soothing, Comforting, peaceful at times. Others it's depressing, despondant and hopeless.
(Oh look, it's raining. Drizzling really. Ok, maybe a little harder than a light mist, but it's certainly not a downpour, no matter what emo boy tells you. In fact, we find Captain sulkalot on a church balcony in Boston. Sitting with his knees folded in front of him, staring out into the darkened sky.)
Falcon: There comes a time in every persons life when they have to stop for a minute, and take stock of everything. Where you are, where you're going. I've come to realization after realization lately. Between Angel, Adam, the fans and more importantly Steve, it's starting to become abundantly clear as to what is really wrong. Someone once said it's better to have loved and lost, than never to have loved at all. I suppose what that literally means is that the joyful experience outways the pain of loss, and thus fear of losing should never keep you from trying. I suppose..
That's where I've been wrong.
All this time. Maybe Steve is right. Maybe I decided to interfere in his life because I was uncaring and despondant about my own. Maybe I forced him to exorcise his own demons so I could avoid facing my own. Looking back on my career, I've probably done so several times. Meddled where I didn't belong, in a pained effort to keep my own focus off of myself. I never cared much for the spotlight, whether it be about fame or scrutiny. I have no secrets. My life has always been in front of this camera. I used to think I always stood alone because I was determined not to let what I do affect someone else's life. I mean, we have all seen what happens. Angel, Ace, Kole.. this business is like being a musician or a truck driver. You're away for long periods of time. And the strain of the road is twice as bad. But in the end.. if you love someone..
It must be worth it.
And I suppose that's where I'm wrong Steven. You see, I did what I did for you. I can't take complete credit for it. All I did was shove you in the right direction. A neccessary evil for someone who refuses to change. Before I so kindly pushed you along, you were perfectly content to diving into that void of cheap thrills. It got to the point where I had to do something, or the effort to get you out of there, it would have been far greater than the reward. Now look at you. You said it yourself, you're happy again. That is all I wanted for you. Sure, the people need a happy Steve Awesome. But Steve Awesome needs a happy Steve Awesome more. You're tests are all finished now. You want vengeance? Come take it. I'm not running anywhere. The point you keep missing Steve is simple.
I want you here.
I won't bother trying to explain the Revolution again, at least not now. But I picked you out of an entire roster, because I believed you could do, exactly what you did. You have your heart back, you have that fire back, the way this sport is meant to be. And if you need to absolve your concience by kicking my ass all over New York City. Then by all means, do so. Beat me until I can't get up anymore, then kick me while I'm down if it makes you feel better. I won't deny that I deserve it. Fight me like the Legend you will one day be. I'm ready for it, I want it. Take this title from me. Do what Kole couldn't. Do what Jason couldn't. Kill me if you have to...
Just.. do.. it..
That's all I'm asking.. Now go.. Leave me at peace.
(Falcon puts his head down on his knees as the rain picks up in force. Fade to black.)

Cherish
Two circular hues
Of blue with a grey shade
So captivating
More than you know
False Preceptions
That brought up these questions
Of truth, love and hope
Now that you're intrigued
I'll carry you with me
Just please, hold on
Disapear and Dissolve
A Weakening Wall
Will One Day Fall
It's Wise To
Sever All Loss
A Redefined Pulse
Through Your Iris
Love's not all lost
But it's nailed to my cross
Crucified all that I held on
To be awaiting
Anticipating
A touch, such as yours
False Affection
A spawn of neglection
A love, lust, and hoax
Please understand me
And know where you're standing
Is closer than I'd hoped
Disapear and Dissolve
A Weakening Wall
Will One Day Fall
It's Wise To
Sever All Loss
A Redefined Pulse
Through Your Iris
