*In the back of the latest arena to host AWA, "The Role Model" walks around carrying his Undisputed World Title (well, a cardboard facsimile) over his left shoulder as Scorpion walks in front of him wearing a blindfold. After taking five steps, Scorpion stops and turns around. He stares in Jordan's general direction as he speaks.*
Scorpion: "What am I doing here?"
Jordan: "Since you agreed to it and are already doing it, you already know."
*Scorpion points to the camera. Jordan looks over his shoulder and snaps his head back at Scorpion.*
Scorpion: "An exposition is usually important for things like this."
Jordan: "How did you see that?"
*Scorpion shrugs.*
Jordan: "See? With your vision stripped from you, your other senses are improving! You are becoming like Daredevil , and you will be able to track Ripper down and get my original belt back."
*Scorpion groans.*
Scorpion: "One, how will losing my vision help? If I could trade a sense, why not taste? That would beef up the other senses. Two, in my so-called 'improvement,' my new abilities just get me to the point where I was. When I had sight, I could see someone in front of me, so now I can sense someone at the exact same distance. There's no gain whatsoever."
*Jordan sighs and spins Scorpion back around.*
Jordan: "Powers grow slowly. How many superheroes have their max abilities at the beginning and never improve? You are back to where you started, but when I first blindfolded you, you ran into everything and could not identify anyone."
Scorpion: "Disorientation and fear don't factor in, do they?"
Jordan: "Nope."
*At that point, Ripper walks by carrying the real Undisputed World Title. He notices Scorpion blindfolded and chuckles.*
Ripper: "If I was around AJ that much, I'd do the same thing."
*Scorpion perks up and gestures wildly.*
Scorpion: "There's Ripper!"
Jordan: "Where?"
Scorpion: "I heard him!"
Jordan: "Track him!"
Scorpion: "Why do I have to track him? He was within a few feet of us. He must have just walked by!"
Jordan: "Or is it because your powers are so advanced now that Ripper sounds that close, but is really on the other side of the arena?"
Scorpion: "What makes you think my powers could grow that much in twenty seconds?"
Jordan: "The power of prayer?"
Scorpion: "That's ridiculous."
*Jordan points at Scorpion, which is actually a worthless gesture given Scorpion's present state.*
Jordan: "The power of prayer can move mountains, mister!"
*Scorpion sighs as the scene comes to an end.*
