10° VIDEO
[There's a pause before Johnny's face appears on the screen, bent over to press the buttons. Once he confirms that the screen is on, he straightens and makes sure he's in frame, wearing very basic clothes.]
Aw, Reed. You shouldn't have! It's a little small, but I admit, I like what you've done with the place.
[He waits a beat, as if Reed might actually respond.]
There are two obvious possibilities for why I'm here. One, the Emperor is a crazed fan who abducted me to find out if The Torch is really as hot as they say he is – I am, by the way – or, two, I'm actually dead, they're lying to me, and I have a motorcycle and a pile of women waiting for me somewhere.
[A split-second pause.] I'll tell you what. If it's the first option? You can come find me. If it's the second, let me know and I'll come find you. Until then? This Fire Sector is like home, sweet home.
Johnny out.

[Then his smile widens.]
I wish I had one here. I can do a lot of things with a lot of vehicles, but there don't seem to be any. I may just have to settle for flying.
video
[Huh. Bit of a kindred spirit. Who knew?]
Not the same thing, if you ask me. There's something to be said for the rush at ground level.
[Oh, I'm sorry, were you expecting her to be impressed by the flying thing?]
video
[He doesn't seem perturbed by the confusion, just a little riled. Then he's moving on to defending his honor. Johnny seems to be doing a lot of that.]
I can fly low to the ground. [A fraction of a second pause.] But I agree with you, that there's something in the tricks you can do on a bike that just isn't there when you're flying. That's why I wish I had one.
video
You and me both.
Unfortunately, they're pretty expensive. More than back home, I think. Good luck renting one of them on whatever wages you end up making.

Personally, I don't like to...er...borrow from anyone I don't know.

He would've let me take it out if I'd asked him. We just skipped the middle man on that one.
[...and then she accidently got his bike blown up. Her bad.]
video
[He gives her a look that simply says: "Really. Really."]
video
["Really."]
But that was there, and this is here, and since my former supplier appears to be fresh out, that still doesn't solve the problem of how to get one now.

I can tweak, but I need the actual materials to work with first. Preferably with most of them in the correct order.

video
[She's 14. Most every other guy on this Turtle is 'old' to her.]
Tony Stark? I know of him. My neighbor's closer to him than I am.
video
[Why so young? D:]
Who's your neighbor?
video
Bruce Wayne.
Coincidently, my other neighbor is close with him.
[She has connections.]
The one who knows Mr Wayne is named Dick Grayson. The one who knows Mr Stark is Jack Frost.
video
video
[Then again, she'd vouch for Jack in a heartbeat as well, so her opinions might be slightly biased.]
video
video
Zatanna Zatara.

Next time'll be better, right?
