WCC Forever: Episode 6 - Face Off


We open on the exterior of Fox River Penitentiary.


Tai Rogers catches a glimpse of another inmate.

Captain Covfefe
What? Why?


We pan over to find Mark Andrews.
The newest inmate at Fox River Penitentiary.


Mark Andrews
I'm getting you out of here.

Captain Covfefe
That's impossible...


Mark Andrews
Not if you designed the place, it isn't.


Captain Covfefe
Andrews, what are you doing here?
I said I don't want you involved with this.
Whatever you have planned, you have to put a stop to it.

Mark Andrews
You drafted me, Tai.
$20 for my services.
You trusted me and I won't forget that.
Besides, the plan is already in motion.
I'm already in Fox River.


Captain Covfefe
Whatever it is that you did to get in here, that's one thing.
But what you're planning? That's another story.
It'll only make things worse.
I won't let you do it.
You don't want to look over your shoulder for the rest of your life.

Mark Andrews
Tai, it's already accounted for.
If all goes well, we won't have to look over our shoulders.
I have it all planned out.
Money, resources, infrastructure, and a plan to disappear.


Captain Covfefe
Mark, you have your whole life ahead of you.
I can't let you ruin it because of me.

Mark Andrews
You said it yourself.
Someone is setting you up.
They want you in here for a reason.
Someone wants Captain Covfefe out of the picture.
If we don't break you out of here, then they win.
We need you back out there, the world needs you.
We need the West Coast Cousins and only you can assemble them.

Captain Covfefe
This doesn't sit right with me.
It's too dangerous.


Mark Andrews
Whoever it is that set you up, they're still out here.
If you stay in here, who knows what they could be planning next.

Captain Covfefe
If we can do this without anybody getting hurt..

Mark Andrews
We will.

Captain Covfefe
What's your plan?
What did you mean when you said you designed this place?

Mark Andrews
Madrigal Electromotive had a sub-division for real estate architecture.
They got the contract to retrofit this place about 10 years ago.
But they couldn't crack it.
So they subcontracted out to my firm.
An under the table sort of deal.
We basically ghostwrote the whole plan.


Captain Covfefe
You've seen the blueprints.

Mark Andrews
Better than that.


Mark Andrews
I've got 'em on me.


Captain Covfefe
You've got to be kidding me...
What exactly am I looking at?

Mark Andrews
Take a closer look...

WEST COAST COUSINS
FOREVER

Episode Six - Face Off


In Week 5, we find Thor Rocksinson taking on the Black Manager.


Black Manager
I've asked you nicely to remove your hammer.
But your inability to comply is considered a hostile act.
Wakanda will not take your actions kindly and considers it an act of war.


Thor Rocksinson
An act of war?
The wrath of Asgard would obliterate Wakanda.
You would be silly to declare war with the Gods.


Black Manager
You underestimate the will of my people, God of Thunder.
My Fantasy Team will show you just how capable we are!


Thor Rocksinson draws first blood as Goedert goes for 17.70.
117 yards and a touchdown as Black Manager falls behind.


Black Manager
Your team is worthy, Rocksinson.
But mine is better!


New Orleans defense drops 24 points,
as vincent1469 responds on his home turf.


Black Manager sees the return of Jonathan Taylor,
who goes for 3.40, it's not very effective.
Rocksinson brushes off the attack.


Jordana Love gets involved and only scores 7.98
as she throws 3 picks.


But this only serves to piss off the God of Thunder.
26.08 from Brock Purdy puts the nail in the coffin for the Black Manager.


Thor Rocksinson
You may be a King, T'Vincent.
But Wakanda kneels before a God.


Thor Rocksinson beats T'Vincent
106.48 - 77.88 in this Week 5 matchup.

At the annual Stark expo,
Kendrick Stark is set to make an opening keynote speech.


Alexander Wayne arrives dressed for the occasion.

Alfred
Sir, are you sure it's a good idea to be in attendance?
Someone could spot you.

Alexander Wayne
Relax, Alfred.
I need to do some reconnaissance on Kendrick Stark.
I need to know if I can trust him.
Besides, I'm from another world.
No one will recognize me.


Kendrick Stark
Welcome to the 11th Annual Stark Expo!

*Crowd Cheers*

Alfred
With all due respect sir, but we don't know who else
may have come over from our universe.
I wouldn't make assumptions about this world.
You very well could run into someone who knows you.

Alexander Wayne
I'll cross that bridge when we get there, Alfred.


Alfred
He's quite the showman, isn't he?

Alexander Wayne
He certainly is.


Alexander Wayne
He's like an eccentric magician.
I'm just waiting for him to make an elephant appear in front of all these people.

Kendrick Stark
Tonight, we have a great demonstration for you all.
Top of the line, cutting edge technology that only Martha Technologies can provide.
Advancement in AI, quantum computing, augmented reality and nanotechnology.
Technology that we utilize in our Martha Tech suits..
and very soon, released for commercial use in medicine, engineering, quantum mechanics..
folks, we are on the verge of the new age industrial revolution!

*Crowd Cheers*


Kendrick Stark
You know, 11 years ago when I took over and renamed this company
after my late mother, Martha Stark.
I made a promise to use my weapons and technology for good.
To provide peace and justice for all...

Alfred
His mother's name is also Martha, Master Wayne.

Alexander Wayne
That's not a reason to become friends, Alfred.


Kendrick Stark
And in that time, we've managed to reduce the rate of petty crime and theft
to record lows. The fact is, Martha Technology is working.
And with the stock price at a record high,
I think I'll buy a chain of Martha & Bros. Coffee Co.
because damn they sure know how to make coffee.

*Crowd Laughs*


Kendrick Stark
With that said, I would like to introduce 
the President and CEO of Martha Industries, Miss Pepper Potts!

*Crowd Cheers*


Kendrick Stark
God... I hate these things.
Jarvis, have you found anything on The Riddler?

J.A.R.V.I.S.
Facial scans have drawn a negative match on The Riddler.
However, per your request,
we did get a partial facial recognition on The Batman.
We have matching visuals on the mouth, lips, chin, and eyes.
They appear to match an Alexander Wayne.

Kendrick Stark
How interesting.
What do you know about this Wayne guy?

J.A.R.V.I.S.
Other than his facial recognition, I was unable to find anything about Alexander Wayne.
At least, not from our world...
But he is in attendance tonight, sir.

Kendrick Stark
Show me where he is.


Kendrick Stark
Mr. Wayne.
Kendrick Stark.
But I'm sure you already knew that, seeing that you're here at my expo.

Alfred
You've been made, sir.


Alexander Wayne
This is quite the event, Mr. Stark.
I wasn't aware that you knew who I was.

Kendrick Stark
Oh, I'm aware of everything that goes on at the Stark Expo.
You can't hide in the shadows here, Mr. Wayne.


Alexander Wayne
But you certainly can get wasted.
I'd go easy with the booze if I were you.
You know? Given your history and everything.

Kendrick Stark
Oh? You've done your homework. I like that.

Alexander Wayne
I always do.
I must say, this is quite the party you have.
A lot of eyes on a public event like this.
Given your level of celebrity and serious lack for concealing your identity,
it wouldn't be difficult for an enemy of yours to attack an event like this.
I'd imagine it would be quite dangerous for all your guests,
if such an attack were to occur.

Kendrick Stark
Well, it's a good thing MarthaMan is nearby to protect them.
I don't suppose there are any other superheroes nearby that would be up for the task?


Kendrick Stark
I'm sorry, the last time we spoke, you left without saying goodbye.
That wasn't very nice.
And you know, cross universal transparency,
I really think it would be better if you shared what you know about our mutual friend.
That way, you know, I can do your job for you
and then send all your candy asses back home where you belong.


Mark Zuckerberg
Kendrick Stark and Alexander Wayne!
Wow. That's why I love these types of events.
Here we are, three of the most innovative minds in technology all in one room.

Alexander Wayne
Mark. It's good to see you.

Kendrick Stark
Oh? You know Zuckerberg too?
They have one of those where you're from as well?


Mark Zuckerberg
I hope I'm not interrupting.
But Kendrick, I did want to talk more about a partnership
between Meta and Martha Industries.
Could you imagine the possibilities?
My brilliant ideas coupled with your advanced A.I...
It's a game changer.


Kendrick Stark
It's also dangerous.
I've already informed your representatives, I won't work with Meta.
With your privacy and ethical issues, I just don't think it would work out.
Plus, I have serious concerns with you stealing my code and taking credit for it.

Mark Zuckerberg
Steal your code? Don't be ridiculous, Stark.
I would only enhance your work.
This is a huge opportunity, Kendrick.
Think of the possibilities...


Kendrick Stark
Oh, already thought about them.
The answer is no.
Now if you'll excuse me, I've got to make the rounds and pretend to play nice.
You know how it goes.
It was great to meet you, Mr. Wayne.
I'll be in touch about our friend.

Alexander Wayne
Mr. Stark.


Mark Zuckerberg
Well, I wouldn't be so sure, Kendrick.
One way or another, I'm sure we'll find a way to work together...

Kendrick Stark
I seriously doubt it.


Mark Zuckerberg
Are you working with Kendrick, Wayne?

Alexander Wayne
I'm not so sure.
Excuse me, I've got to go to the men's room.


Alfred
He seems to have found out about your alter ego, sir.

Alexander Wayne
I may have seriously underestimated Kendrick Stark, Alfred.
I thought you said he was in last place.

Alfred
He was, sir.
But he's also a 4x League Champion.


Alexander Wayne
Then I think I may have just given him his first win.
I'm not sure if I can work with him, Alfred.
He's reckless and dangerous..

Alfred
But he may also be a Fantasy Football genius, Master Wayne.

Alexander Wayne
We'll see...

In Week 5's match up between Kevan and Minhneto,
Kevan's running back trio of Najee Harris, Cam Akers and Rhamondore Stevenson
combine for a meager 8.20 points.
It's not very effective against Minhneto's ability to control metal.


Minhneto
Let's put an end to this madness, Kevan
If I wanted it, you'd be dead already.
But I have orders to bring you in alive.

Kevan
You're gonna have to kill me, bub.
Cause I won't go down without a fight!


Jalen Hurts scores 28.32 as Kevan falls behind.


16.10 from WR1 Stefon Diggs.


Trevor Lawrence drops 15.70,
but it is a losing battle. Chuckanuts is the far superior manager.


Jean Addison comes in with 12.40 for Undertaker's team.
But it isn't enough as Minheto doubles Kevan's output.


Minhneto wins going away 128.71 - 62.90


William Stryker
Let the children play, Lady Deathstrike.
We have more pressing business to attend to.
