001: Video

[The face on the screen is of a pretty, dark-haired woman in her mid-twenties. But there's something serious to her eyes, a way she seems to be taking in every detail and filing it away for future use.]

I'm not going to ask any of the "who, what, where" kind of questions. Given the briefing and the fact that this place has apparently been doing this for a while, it'd probably be kind of pointless.

But I'm Helena. Helena Wayne.

And I've got to say... the super-powers thing is the most unexpected part of all of this. Never had much need of them before, though I can't say I wasn't jealous of Karen sometimes.. Still... definitely unexpected. Anybody else dealing with first time powers?

And people actually watch this? Wow.

[batburgers]

It's the most popular type of show on television. They eat it up like it's candy.

[bat_daughter]

That's kind of horrifying, actually.

[batburgers]

You're telling me. Can't go two channels without some celebrity or reality game show pitting people against each other seeing who can be the most horrible and outlast everyone else.

[bat_daughter]

You have got to be making this up. There's no way something like that would last.

[batburgers]

Turn on a television during primetime. Don't say I didn't warn you.

[bat_daughter]

Okay, this time period is officially insane.

[batburgers]

I've been saying it, no one else seems to agree with me.

[bat_daughter]

Well, at least for now, I agree with you.
