video [backdated to 4th]
[ the video flashes to life and shows a dark, fluorescent-lit bar cozily secluded in someone's basement. Lights on low. Books on tap. Crane lurks in the back, inspecting the bookshelves, carrying some literature in his hand. He sidles around the long couch and plucks up a book someone left hanging around. Mutters words under his breath that go unheard to everyone except the person he's got for company: Iris West. She sits at the end of the couch, a cup of hot java cradled between her fingers. ]
Hey everyone. [ she beams, waving at the camera and pointedly ignoring said mutterings. ] As I'm sure all of you are aware, we've had some pretty crazy dreams these past few days - and Crane and I thought we'd help people out in a couple of ways.
One, my superpower happens to involve a lot of caffeine. By which I mean, [ she sets her mug down, reaching for another and filling it up, ] if you want to stay awake with extra-strength coffee or tea, I can give that to you, no problem.
Two, well - [ she glances back towards Crane, ] Why don't you introduce it? It was your idea.
[ after replacing a book on the bookshelf and leaving it where he'd found it, Crane turns around and grasps his hands behind him. he doesn't directly look at the camera, even seems a bit awkward. ]
Alright, I'm - we're - throwing open the doors of the Iceberg Lounge to anybody needing a good night's sleep. Dreams are not outside my realm of expertise and if you want the opposite of what Mrs. West is offering, well, I can provide that to you, no problem, too. Putting it simply, you'll wake up without being terrorised by the fantasies inside your head.
You're all welcome.
[ after making the invitation, he ignores everyone behind the camera and gets back to work, leaving Iris to wrap things up. ]
Whatever you choose, however you choose to cope with this craziness, you're more than welcome to drop by and seek some solace here. Everyone needs a little help sometimes, and we're here to take care of each other where we can. That's about it, so - stay safe, and until this calms down, take care.

[ she waves, sliding the glass towards Georgia. True to her promise, the drink is a standard American Coca-Cola, the kind made with sugar rather than HFCS. ]

Stand by my word. This is the good shit.

So you won the superpower lottery, huh.

[ Even she does from time to time, if only to keep up the illusion of appearances and to spend time with loved ones. ]
But... considering what's going on right now, I don't think I'll ever complain about my powers again.

[Georgia grimaces over her Coke, then takes another sip.]
The only difference between two normal people punching each other and two superpowered people punching each other is the collateral damage.

A lot of people are probably like me, with infinite coffee or the ability to find a perfect parking spot, and wouldn't ever know it.
