[The video turns on, and Steve studies the screen for a moment, looking for a hint that it's on and working like it should be.] Is this how I do this? [Someone pointed out the basics to him, but it will take a while before he's used to the idea of something that's a combination of a phone and a moving picture.

Now that he's said that, he doesn't know what to follow it with. He's used to observing a situation without drawing attention to himself.] Hello. My name's Steve. Steve Trevor. Captain. I'm a pilot with the American Expeditionary Forces.

[Eagle-eyed history buffs will notice that his uniform is that of a German officer, not an American one, but his accent is fully American.]

Was a pilot, I suppose. [Since the war's not going on here.] There's nowhere in the city looking to hire a pilot, is there?

I get the gist. [He thinks.]

In what way? I know why it's weird, but why the rest of it?

Supposedly they gather energy from good deeds and cuddling, and then use it to grant wishes? That's pretty fricken neat. And, I mean, I'm not dead? So I can't really be mad.

[icansavetoday]

Does not being dead make a difference here? Beyond the obvious.

[ichoosefight]

What do you mean? Like, do I think it'll stick? If they can keep up their end of the deal it should.

[icansavetoday]

So you're dead back home then?

[ichoosefight]

I'd say my chances are 20% or less. Gotham does make a lot of hail mary passes.

[icansavetoday]

That makes two of us. Only in my case it's more like 100%.

[ichoosefight]

I'm sorry to hear it. But hey, you're not dead yet! Or... anymore. Whichever.

[icansavetoday]

Yet. Which is something, at least.

[ichoosefight]

Something big. As long as you're alive, you can do something about staying that way.

[icansavetoday]

I'm nos so sure about that, but at least I can enjoy the time I've got here.
