Context: for the sake of the question, this will be a modern AU of my comic, this AU still has magic, Henry is still a hare.
Scene #1-Forest, Ext.
Henry is driving himself and Larry through a road in the middle of a forest. Going home after being at Henry’s factory for hours.
Larry is very tired, is way past his bedtime, and he’s about to sleep in the back of the car with his head pressing against the window.
Henry notices a car on the side of the road, then decides to stop slowly. Larry notices the car slowing down, and mildly wakes up.
LB: (yawing, still drowsy) are we home, Mr. Hare?
HH: not yet kid, there’s a car outside the road, I’m gonna check what happened.
Henry takes off his seatbelt.
Larry wakes up a little more, worrying about what Henry just said.
LB: what? There was an accident.
HH: I don’t think so, maybe someone had to pee and couldn’t wait until home.
Larry relaxed by this idea and put his head towards the window again.
LB: oh.
HH: yeah just wait here, I’ll be back in a sec. sleep if you want.
Henry gets out of the car and snaps his fingers, activating the safety protocol to protect Larry. The child, meanwhile, ends up falling asleep before Henry even reaches the accident zone.
Outcome #1
Actual accident.
Henry goes back into the car. and grabs his phone, it does get a signal, then proceeds to call the emergency number.
While Henry is talking and telling the operator their location, Larry is waking up again.
LB: (rubbing his eyes) Mr. Hare?
HH: oh, hey kid, (to the operator) excuse me for a moment, look turns out that there was a problem, but everything’s fine, help is coming and we’ll be on our way, ok?
LB: ok.
Larry stays awake this time until the police, an ambulance and a tow truck comes into scene, Larry stays in the car while Henry gives his statement. Once that’s done, Henry and Larry are heading back home, Larry falls asleep on the way again, and once they arrive. Henry uses his light gloves to carry Larry back home.
Outcome #2-
Crazy axe murderer.
Henry loads something into the trunk of the car, Larry is still asleep until Henry starts the car and goes into a new destiny.
LB: (rubbing his eyes) Mr. Hare?
HH: (looks at Larry through the driving mirror) Oh, hey kid, look, I just remembered that I need to make a stop to drop something at Autumn’s.
LB: What about the car?
HH: I was right, the guy couldn’t hold it and had to make an emergency stop.
LB: oh, ok.
Larry falls asleep again. He doesnt wake up when Henry calls Autumn to tell her that he’s “giving her a gift” or when they arrived at her place.
Scene #2- Autumn’s cottage. Int.
Autumn hears the ringbell and opens the door, just to see Henry carrying a corpse. They both stayed silent.
HH: just picked this guy up, tried to kill us, just returned the favour.
Autumn picks up the body with one hand, examining the cut in the man’s throat.
Autumn: will you be demanding a piece for yourself?
HH: maybe for another night. I’d love to chat but I have to get the kid back to bed, and I’ll have to clean up the trunk in the morning.
Autumn: I have people for that. Bring it to me tomorrow and I’ll have it cleaned up.
HH: Thanks.
And so, Henry drives back home, and once they arrive. Henry uses his light gloves to carry Larry back home.
