Panel 1:

Medium shot of Ada sitting in a chair looking puzzled

ADA: I don't understand, what does this have to do with my grandparents?

Panel 2:

Medium shot from Ada's perspective. Mark pushes some newspaper cut outs towards her. The top one is the "key to the city" cutout we've seen in Ada's possession

MARK: Your grandparents worked for abilify when it was still the augmentation group

Panel 3:

Mark moves the top cutout over. We can't see what it says yet.

MARK: but they weren't okay with the things being done there.

Panel 4:

Close up of the newspaper page. The headline reads "Superheroes Fall from Grace"

MARK (Voice over): when they tried to go public, the government made everyone believe they were villains.

Panel 5:

Medium shot of Mark. He's clearly a little excited to talk about this. His eyebrows are a little raised

MARK: in fact, some SAY that the term "supervillain" was first used to apply to them.

Panel 6:

Ada looks to the side, trying not to make eye contact as this part of the story is new to her and also a little close to home

MARK (FROM OFF PANEL): It's total hogwash of course, but what a family history you have!
