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.

How... how's that?
[Come on, he's from before manned flight. And, for all the talk of aliens and traveling in time and between universes, man traveling - stationed - in space is still frigging amazing, to him.]

Hey! I was a pilot for NASA. I was the best choice for the job.

People didn't go there, back when I'm from, that's all.

I know it's a lot to believe. It's not normal where we come from either. We were the first.

First? There's more now?

Not exactly. There's this silver surfer. He has powers, but he came from space, so I don't really know if that counts.

Right. So. You and Sue and Ben and Reed all went together in space? You guys knew each other from before?

Anyway, the five of us were all affected. The four of us got closer and became superheroes. Victor went off the deep end and tried to be a villain. When we put an end to that, he fell off the grid for awhile, then resurfaced thanks to a dumb general in the US Government who decided he'd be a good help with an alien.

[Come on, this place has done nothing but stretch his capacity to believe in crap, but if that's how Johnny wants it, he's not gonna push. Much.]
