Got hit with another wave of inspiration again.

IF you fill this script, it's okay for monetizing. Just leave a comment to let me know where I can have a look.

Stars in the night sky 

[A4A][caring villain speaker] [dying hero listener] [little stargazing] [emotional]

TW mentions of bodily injury, death

You are the hero lightshot or,... you were. After getting hit by a mysterious weapon, you have been hospitalized. You lost count for how long you’ve been in your room and your “condition” is getting worse. Slowly, but you are in neverending pain. Doctors unable to help. There’s something you wanna do, but the medical personnel won’t allow it. So one night, you ask an old “acquaintance” for help.

little help to keep track in the chaos:

sounds

/tone of voice for the/ “spoken words” 

Script starts here:

sound of a door opening, beeping of medical machines until later*

/lighthearted, maybe even happy/ “When I saw that YOU sent me a message, I wasn’t sure if it was a joke. How are you doing? The news went quiet about you nearly a year ago.”

short pause, speaker taking in the picture in front of them

/much more quietly/ “Damn. You aren’t looking too good hooked up to all those medical machines…” 

/matter-of-factly/ “Let’s not beat around the bush. Why did you want me to come here? If anyone sees me, they won’t be too happy.”

/wondering/“What about the weather?”

/jokingly-frustrated/ “I didn’t come all the way here to tell you if it’s cloudy or not!”

/confused/ “What do you mean ‘they won’t take you up to the roof’?  You’re lightshot, just go there! I bet they can’t stop you.”

/still confused/“But why?!” 

sounds of a blanket getting yanked to the side

/panicked/ “WHOA THERE! Don’t ‘flash’ me like th-”little pause

/increasingly shocked/ “Is… is that… a hole in your stomach? Why is it glowing on the inside? And why can I see the covers under you through it?!”

/panicked again/ “NO DON’T-” 

/in disbelief/ “you.. put your hand inside it…”

/still processing/ “And now it is also glowing…” 

/curious, but also baffled/ “Does it stay like that? Ah- it’s already fading…” again, short pause

/with a nervous laugh/ “That’s…  a… gross little party trick,... I’ll give you that…” silence for a couple seconds

/uncomfortable/“So the rumors are true?... Your own powers turned against you…”

/still in disbelief/“A goddamn hole…” 

/concerned/ “Is that why you can’t walk anymore? ‘Cause it goes right through your spine too…”

/Confused/ “Again asking about the weather?”/with a calm tone/ “It’s… quite nice actually. Skies are clear.”

/a little surprised/ “So you want to go up on the roof, that’s it?”

/kindly/ “Yes, I can take you there.” /worried/“But will you be alright if we disconnect all those machines?”

/defensive/ “Okay, okay. You’re right, why would your nemesis care? Off with those cables and tubes.” noises of disconnecting some stuff, *beeping stops to be replaced with an alarm for a short amount of time

/Unsure/ “What about the I.V.? Should we-” /shocked again/ “You just ripped it out yourself… You really wanna go up there, do you?”

/Jokingly/“You okay with being princess-carried?” 

/Caring/ “Good! I’ll pick you up now.”

sounds of fabric rustling, maybe a little creak as the weight is lifted of the bed

/kind but a little worried/“Carefull… You good? You seem kinda… tense.” 

sounds of steps 

/neutral/ “Where are the stairs? Over there? Got ya.”

even more sounds of steps, another door opening afterwards

outside noise (whatever you prefer, sounds of a little wind, background noise of a city…)

/proudly/ “There we are.” /unsure/ “The spot over there looks… not cozy, but good enough.”

short pause again

/curious/ “May I ask, why didn’t you just ask the medical personnel to take you here?”

/calm/ “No answer? I don’t mind, don’t wanna pester you about it if you don’t wanna talk.”

/observing/ “You really taking it all in, do you? You are looking at the stars so… intensely? Like, you are staring up there as if you are afraid to miss the tiniest detail.”

/wondering/ “Why do you like looking at the stars so much?-Actually, don’t answer that. You told me so many times already.” 

/with a cheerful tone/ “Every single one of those fascinating little dots being a light that travelled years to reach us. The scale of the universe makes you feel small. Whatever someone does, it isn’t important. In the grand scheme of things, nothing matters…and yet, endless possibilities out there.”

/Curious/ “… That’s what you told me. An unexpected take for a hero, if you ask me…”

/laughing/ “No, I don’t judge you for it. Why would I?”

/dreamy/ “Yeah… Isn’t that Cassiopeia up there?”

/triumphant/ “See, I did remember something.”

/surprised, worried/ “Oh snap! Are you really okay? The way your head just dropped down, I think you are shortly before passing out.”

/unsure/ “Guess I should bring you back to your room-” 

/taken aback by strong reaction from listener/ “okay, OKAY! We’ll stay up here…” /mumbling/ “Since when did you get that assertive?” 

/demands/ “At least lean your head against my shoulder, so you don’t have to strain yourself.”

longer pause

/quietly,caring, worried/ “I forgot to ask… but that hole, your powers going haywire… does it hurt?”

/a little louder/ “Hey, does it hurt?”

/with a little bit frustration but still worried/ “I don’t like that you are pretending that you didn’t hear me. It tells me that you are in pain!”

/trying to lighten the mood/ “Should we have nicked some medication from the pharmacy? I can get some real quick. You know, the good stuff.”

/more worried/ “What? No use in getting some painkillers?”

/back to shocked/ “Even morphine doesn’t work… Don’t tell me you are in pain all the time!” /in disbelief again /“Nothing helps?! Are you serious?!” 

/really concerned/ “Wait! Wait, wait, wait, wait. Is the hole in your stomach growing? Were all those machines just to prevent it from getting worse?”

/somewhat angry/ “Don’t say that! No ‘I’m done’ shit, you‘ll get healthy again! You hear me? This is not the last time you can look at the night sky!”

 

/frustrated/ “Get yourself together, you’ll be fine!-/right to worried again/ “Crap, why are you shaking? Do you feel cold? Here… let me drape my jacket around you.”

sounds of fabric (jacked wrapped around listeners shoulders)

“Better?”

pause

/unsure/ “Are you sure you don’t wanna get back into your room, so the doctors can treat you?”

/Concerned/“I think you’re being reckless, hero. Why are you so sure that there is no cure?”

/softly to hoping/ “I think I understand... But if they slowed that uhm… process… to a near stop already, maybe they can find something to reverse it before it’s too late?”

/apologetic/ “Sorry, scratch that. You probably heard that more than enough over the last weeks…” pause again

/little overwhelmed, unsure what to do/ “Hey… Hey! Are those tears? What’s wrong? Is- is the pain getting worse?!”

/little panicked again/ “I didn’t know it was this bad!... Wait, wait, calm down! I can’t understand you!”

/shocked/ “You… asked the doctors… to stop the treatment three months ago?...”

/sad whisper/ “Begged them to stop…”

/little sad and frustrated/ “No, don’t say that! You are not weak for wanting the pain to stop! You are in constant agony, no one could take that forever!”

/caring and sad/ “That’s okay. I understand… You shouldn’t have to suffer any longer, just because some of the doctors think they MAYBE find a cure SOMEDAY…” 

uncomfortable silence

/afraid/ “So, you planned that this would be your last gaze at the stars? You… you want to die up here?”

/whispered/ “I see…”

long pause

/unsure, voice unsteady/ “I- I need to ask you something… Why did you become my friend as a civilian?” 

/calm, soft/ “Yeah, it was my civilian identity too, but you can’t tell me you didn’t recognize me! You were so nice to me…”/getting louder/ “It IS a big deal, you have no idea!”

/angry, sad/ “Don’t smile at me like that! DON’T! You should hate me!”

/fighting tears/ “ ‘WHY?!’- Don’t be stupid. Your injury, it’s right where my underling hit you with the Scrambler! That shady, crazy guy who built that thing promised me it would render your powers useless for a bit, but not THIS!”

/angry, sobbing/ “NO, IT’S NOT OKAY!... You are one of the few heroes who really care… who are not in it for the paycheck, but because they really want to help everyone…”/whispered/ “even people like me…”

/crying/ “And now you are dying, because I couldn't be bothered to test that damn weapon before using it- You are dying… and it’s my fault…” 

/really panicked/ “No, no… NO-NO-NO! Don’t go limp on me now! Please open your eyes again, PLEASE!”

/desperade/ “I still have to tell you that I am sorry! I still need to say ‘thank you for being my friend’!” /quietly, sobbing/ “My best friend…”

some more sobs

/relieved/“There you are, thank god!” /fighting tears again/ “We are on the roof, remember? Look, the sky…”

/sobbing again/ “Yeah… yeah… the stars look incredible tonight… I… I… I haven’t seen them shine this bright ever…” 

/openly crying/ “I’m sorry… I am so sorry! I didn’t mean for that to happen… I didn’t want this to happen…”

more crying, sobbing for a bit (enough for listener to close their eyes for good)

/barely holding together/ “I hope you can happily roam among the stars now… I know you can’t hear me anymore, but I will think about you whenever I look up into the night sky… knowing you’ll be up there, a new star shining upon us…”

/crying again/ “I’ll miss you…”

you can end it here, or you insert more crying, up to you.

End

Have a nice day to everyone who reads this.
