[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.

Yeah, I'll get right on that, Jimmy.

[May or may not have deliberately messed up that name. Spoiler Alert: He did]

It's Johnny. [Get it right, dammit.]

So what are you supposed to be anyway?

Clearly I'm the Easter Bunny. The suit's just so I can go around incognito without being harassed for candy and sweets.

[He's pretty sure they picked one of those up though. So, enjoy your ears burning, cottontail. Johnny, all you get is sarcasm. Looooots of sarcasm.]

And here I thought you were one of those Mexican wrestlers.

[wallcrawler]

And now you know why there wasn't a basket of treats waiting for you.

You know, I think I'm alright with that.
