[ a familiar face to some comes onto the screen as it opens on the communicators. given the nature of this world, it's possible everyone watching would be initially unsure if this was really him, another version of him, or maybe someone else entirely if not for the suit and wayne branding around the room. still, bruce introduces himself again more casually (or disheveled to the knowing), sans coat, with very slight lines under his eyes and a days worth of stubble. ]

I know how these things work, so I won't take up too much of your time. I only want to introduce myself as Bruce Wayne to those who know me and to the uninitiated. This is only to say that I will be stepping back in as CEO of my company, Wayne Enterprises, effective immediately, with my thanks extended to my daughter, Cassandra Wayne, my son, Timothy Drake-Wayne, both of whom some of you may be familiar with, and to the numerous shareholders and staff who have helped to keep it preserved.

In the coming months, I hope to reacquaint myself with all of you, and to learn more about what it is that I've missed over the past ten months that I was gone. For the unaware, know that my family and I have always been committed to giving back to the community and its people, and I'll continue to do that to the best of my ability. As informal an offer as this may seem for a first message, we are always hiring at Wayne Enterprises in various positions for those with the same values.

I won't take up anymore of your time. Thank you again.

[ there's a long pause before he looks away from the camera like he can't even believe he's going to fist bump a camera, but he does. though it's kinda weak. ]

[ Yessss! Nobody can resist a good fistbump! Doreen even pulls her hand away from the screen and mimes an explosion, making a little 'pchooo!' noise for good measure. ]

Nice. You must've been here for a while if you were able to set up a company, huh?

[the_caped_crusader]

Doreen, you were a member of the Justice League. I founded it, remember? We know each other. Unless of course you're a different Squirrel Girl, which I find... somewhat hard to believe.

[eatsnutsandkicksbutts]

... ohmygosh you're that Bruce Wayne ohmygosh I totally forgot aaaaah!

[the_caped_crusader]

I am, in fact, that Bruce Wayne. But don't worry about it, Doreen. Time works in funny ways in this place, so I can understand the confusion.

[eatsnutsandkicksbutts]

I'm sorry! It's been like a year and a half on my end, I just got back a few weeks ago!

[the_caped_crusader]

Like I said, don't worry about it. It's been longer than ten months for me back home, too. But now that we're talking, have you considered rejoining at all?

GOSH THAT SURE WAS A FUN HYPOTHETICAL ROLEPLAY SCENARIO BETWEEN MR. WAYNE AND I. IMAGINE IF DOREEN GREEN WERE SQUIRREL GIRL, THAT WOULD BE NU... I MEAN, COMPLETELY BONKERS, HAHA.

[ And then she locks the conversation down on Private! ]

Whoo, ok, that should do it! I think we're good!

Sorry about that, I'm gonna come clean about the whole secret identity situation soon on the network, but I haven't done it just yet.
