[Just in case any of you turtle-dwelling simpletons had forgotten about her, Livewire has decided to grace the network with her presence today.

In order to better reprimand all of you. Which is precisely why she's glaring into the camera now, showing an odd mix of boredom and barely restrained anger. Well. Barely restrained by her standards. For anyone else, she's likely coming across as exceptionally irate.]

Can we move it here, people? Bein' normal again was nice 'n all, but it's gettin' kinda old.

So what's takin' you people so long to fix this already? Not like there's a shortage of cape 'n cowled freaks running around to help out! Even without powers I figured even you idiots coulda gotten this mess taken care of by now, so what's the hold-up?

[Not like she's put in any effort herself, but then again, it's not like she's terribly philanthropic to start with. Probably why she's taking it out on the heroes, who she's used to seeing rush to save the day no matter how minor the problem is.]

Do you spandex-loving freaks only get to work if somebody from the press is around, or what? Because last I checked, there's no newspapers around. So, how 'bout you just hop to it anyway, 'kay babies? I got things to do, people to kill, and about much patience as Superman's got common sense. And for those of you luck enough not to know who I'm talkin' about, the man flies around wearin' his underwear on the outside, so we're not talkin' very big numbers here.

Sorry, what was it you were doing to help out?

Stayin' outta everybody's way 'n playin' nice with the rest of the boys 'n girls.

[For her, this is clearly good behavior. And it shows, considering she's all smiles when she proudly announces that particular accomplishment.]

Your contribution is being put in time out?

Who's Superman?

[This is a valid question.]

Just a big freak of nature who flies around in a blue long-johns and wears a giant S on his chest. Not to mention the cape.

Guy's also got a thing for hero worship, even if he'll probabbly never admit to it. You'll see him soon enough.

[If not because he'll try to defend himself against the accusation, then definitely because Livewire's going to be making a move against him the second she gets her powers back. But in the meantime, call her interested, because asking that particular question has certainly raised a brow...]

How the heck'd you luck out n' get a world without Superjerk in it, anyway? I thought everybody knew about that creep.

I lived in the woods for five years.

[Which is a huge contributing factor to a lot. She doesn't even know what comic books are.]

[Well, that's an unexpected response. And it shows, at least until Livewire's expression returns to something resembling her usual degree of self-assured smugness and minor disdain.]

Yeesh, were you raised by wolves? Pretty sure most people'd be dead if they got stuck out there that long.

No.

[Thats all Victoria wants to say about that. She doesn't know Livewire at all and isn't in the mood to talk about Mama.]

Why don't you like Superman?

Leslie, not now.

Bite me, you muscle-bound freak.

[Clearly, the last attempt on his life has done nothing to get rid of that hostility. If that much wasn't clear from the tone of her voice, the glare she's shooting him has plenty of obvious anger behind it.]

I haven't been makin' a mess of this little playground while you and the other idiots run around tryin' to fix this, so don't push your luck!

I'm not going to thank you for not destroying the place that's our home for now, not to mention the only chance we have of getting enough information to get back home.

And we are indeed trying to fix it so if you aren't going to help us at least try not to bother and don't make things harder than what they already are.

So I repeat: not now, Leslie.

And I repeat, bite me, Super-jerk.

[And hanging up now, because screw you, Superman]

[ Hey, have another caped and hooded person! Not seeming that impressed with the whole "things to do, people to kill" announcement either. ]

Maybe it's time you got another hobby.

[All you get is a dismissive wave of her hand, Raven. She doesn't consider you worth her time, and has already assumed you're someone's sidekick. Because that's what all teenagers in costume are, right?]

And maybe it's time you got a new wardrobe. Nobody likes the goth look, kid.

Call back when you can put a grown-up on the line, I don't deal with you half-pint hero types.

... have you looked in the mirror lately?

[ Because really, body suits were apparently good enough for both of them. ]

[Banter like this - despite the unusual subject matter is more his speed. Going to be the law (he hopes) might as well start working with criminals.

Might as well get a bead on all of them.

See where they stand.]

Now if I were a less understanding sort of guy I'd say such a fixation on a guy might mean something. [eyebrow raise. come on now] There's people working on it. No need to rush genius as they say, and if you rush stupid people you end up making a mess so.

That I want him dead and left in a ditch?

[Come on Hoffman, she's only ever been completely straightforward when it comes to Superman and her intentions, at least get it right.]

I ain't rushin' genius, but I'm not rushin' stupid either. Annoying as these costumed idiots are, they usually get the job done. But apparently they got a bad habit of waitin' around 'til they can make a public spectacle out of it!

[he teases Livewire. he teases. poorly]

...I'm sure they're proud of how you're handling adversity. [pause]

You thought about just asking them instead of complaining?

Ennnh. No powers ain't a bad thing, huh? I did mosta my life without powers until I came onto the turtle, it ain't bad at all!
