Future Shock - X-Men: Days of Future Past - Simon McDonald

PANEL ONE
Present day Eva Bell - Tempus - is suffering from a nightmare, bathed in sweat. Her eyes crackle with temporal energy.

TEMPUS
Nnngh - -
 
 
PANEL TWO
Cut to the past, where Destiny has her crossbow aimed at Senator Kelly, as behind her, Tempus's temporal energy begin to flicker. Perhaps we can see a fraction of Kitty Pryde, hiding and watching the scene.
 
 
DESTINY
Do not try to evade my crossbow bold, Senator.
 
PANEL THREE
Destiny (who is blind, remember) seems to sense something, turns in the direction of Tempus' glowing ethereal form.
 
DESTINY
I will sense your plans a heartbeat before you even - -
Eh?!
 
PANEL FOUR
Kelly takes advantage of Destiny's distraction, lunges at the crossbow.
 
SENTATOR KELLY
I won't give you that satisfaction, witch!
 
PANEL FIVE
Pull back. Kitty Pryde comes out of hiding charging at the tussling Destiny and Kelly, while Tempus's temporal energy lights the scene in an eerie glow.
 
KITTY PRYDE
Senator, no!
 
SENATOR KELLY
Break your neck...
 
PANEL SIX
On Sentator Kelly's eyes, through his glasses, wide with shock.
 
SFX
Thuck!
 
SENATOR KELLY
(small)
Ah.

  1. I like the implication in the final panel, without actually showing anything. Punchy.
