[The feed clicks on to reveal a red-headed teen with yellow eyes, who's currently peering at the device like it's going to explode.]

Okay, power button. Check. I thought this could be like that episode of The Twilight Zone where they execute people by blowing up in their rooms and that maybe someone was clever for a change and made the self-destruct button look like the on/off. But! Obviously not, because I'm still here.

I think I'm getting paranoid. It's like there's this voice in my head going -

[Bart holds two fingers up to either side of his head, so they stick up through his hair like ears.]

"Trust nothing."

[He puts his arms down, and he really drops them. They're just suddenly gone, and the camera picks up maybe two frames of the action, but even that's a little lost in a yellow flash. Bart only laughs with relief.]

Hey! Look at that, they weren't lying about that either. Now, if it would just hurry up and work all the time.

So, uh. Hi. Bart Allen. Anyone know where to find the games on this thing? I gotta pass the time until the rest of you slow down.

[No worries. There will be several opportunities to brofist later. Santo is kind of the king of fistbumps around here, after all.]

Of course I'm me, dude. Being someone else wouldn't make any sense... And just weird. [He laughs a little.] No, this is my real body. It's kind of easy to survive that kind of thing when I'm made of rocks.

Huh. Made of rocks. I think that's a new one for me. Tres cool.

Freaking awesome, I think you mean. And you must come from a pretty boring place if you don't have any swag ass rock dudes around.

Boring? Uh-uh. Well, boring if you're talking about the nightlife in Keystone City. But I think we hold our own against giant rock dudes alright.

Wait, are you trying to tell me that the rock dudes are evil where you're from?

Nah, man. Just that we've got enough awesome to match up.

Nah, probably not. No offense, but even if you did have some rock dudes to boost your rating, your universe still doesn't have me.

Does your universe have me? Cause if not, it's getting DQ'd at the starting line.

I don't know, man. I don't even know you. [He doesn't make a crack about how that must mean Bart's not all that cool because, well, the kid has confidence and that makes him interesting.]

So what's your deal? No offense, but as far as people around here freaking out about me being a rock dude and exploding goes, your reaction wasn't all that panicky or fun.

I guess, when you hang out with aliens, robots, and a green kid that turns into safari animals in his spare time, rock dudes are more of a stunned silence than out-and-out panic. Besides, you pulled yourself back together.

[Bart gives him two thumbs up.]

Still the best party trick I've seen.

Aw, lame. You're another guy with powers then, huh? [Not that he actually thinks that's lame. He just likes the excitement/fear/whatever when people who aren't used to it see for the first time.]

It is pretty cool, right? So what do you do?

Yeah. I'd say sorry. But. I'm not at all. That part's no secret. I moved too fast in the video already. I'm a speedster.
