[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?

[angelpants]

What year was it for you?

[icansavetoday]

It's 1918.

[angelpants]

Add a hundred years.

[icansavetoday]

I'm from the past, then. [Which he had already figured out anyway. Just not how much from the past.]

[angelpants]

Yeah, so this must be really weird.

[ He probably knows how Doc feels. ]

[icansavetoday]

Yes. This is really weird.

[angelpants]

If it helps, you seem to be handling it okay.

[icansavetoday]

Really weird has been happening in my life lately. At this point I'm used to handling it.

[angelpants]

Yeah, we deal with weird a lot at home too.

[icansavetoday]

What kinds of things do you have at home?

[angelpants]

You probably wouldn't believe me if I told you.

[icansavetoday]

You might be surprised by what I would believe.

[angelpants]

Got some examples for me?

[icansavetoday]

Amazons and Greek gods.

[angelpants]

Like from the stories?

[icansavetoday]

Like from the stories. Except they're not stories. They're real.

[angelpants]

Ever heard of Wyatt Earp?

[icansavetoday]

I've heard the name.

[angelpants]

He's my ancestor.

[icansavetoday]

That's not so unbelievable.

[angelpants]

Oh no, that's not the unbelievable part. It has to do more with the Earp curse.

[icansavetoday]

The Earp curse?

[angelpants]

All of the people Wyatt killed when he was alive keep coming back from the dead as Revenants and the Earp heir has to put them back down. I'm hoping to find a way to break the curse, for my sister. She's the Earp heir.

[icansavetoday]

That's -- [Something he never would have believed even a month ago. But now, who can really say what's true, or even possible?] a little more unbelievable, but sure, why not?

[angelpants]

Told you it was pretty out there.
