FALCON
Okay, Slater. You’re our final entry. Let’s see what you’ve got.

The cameras focus on the young man. He looks up at the M-Verse portal. There is sadness in his eyes. Slater looks at the Command Room and makes eye contact with Edmond Lau. Then he looks at Falcon and folds his arms.

SLATER
No.

Falcon is confused.

FALCON
I’m sorry?

SLATER
Close the portal.

FALCON
What?

Slater points to the Command Room.

SLATER
Tell them to close it!

FALCON
I…don’t understand. You have to provide an exhibition of your abilities in order to participate in the tournament. Are you forfeiting?

SLATER
I’m not forfeiting anything. I’ll give your executives a demonstration…as soon as they close that portal.

FALCON
Our portal give you access to your powers.

SLATER
I don’t need your portal.
