[In costume, ID reads 'Kid Flash.']

Show of hands, show of hands! Who around here knows who Superman is?

...I don't mean like- knows who he is, who he is, I mean knows of the superhero dude. Six foot eight, weighs a freaking ton ♫ I'm kidding, he's not six eight. He's taller.

What about Batman? Wonder Woman? Everybody knows the big three, they're like the holy trinity of punchin' dudes who deserve it. Plus I mean, Wonder Woman, am I right? I'm right. Ultimate justice in a one piece.

[ She blinks profusely, as if just realizing something. ]

You're right. It doesn't say it.

Has he ensured that your identity can't be traced back to the device?

[well wally is also a child whose entire world is comprised of superheroes so like how can people not know superman when kids in remote villages back home wear his symbol on their shirts]

Well okay. I guess if you look at it like- like we're in a different quadrant of space or something, it's not that weird. But it's still disappointing.

Do you know how hard I'll have to work to get brand recognition here?! The only people who actually know about me back home are in Missouri! And Kansas! Nobody cares about Missouri and Kansas!

And please, it's Rob. Only way this could get more secure is if Robin did it twice.

[ Well, he is Batman's partner. It's no surprise Robin could do it. ]

"Brand recognition"? Careful there, Kid Flash. The next thing you'll know you'll be a certain carrot-man slash superhero.

[this version in particular is pretty hacktacular too]

I'm just saying, it would go a long way in getting people to trust us. I mean, if we look like more than just a group of people in spandex we should make ourselves look established, right? Nothing says "respectable establishment" like a family business.

We have to solidify our numbers and teams first. Then we make a statement. We'll be taken much more seriously if we come across as united in the first place.

Might want to avoid any discussion of Registered and Unsettled at the start.

That's gonna be one of the first things people would ask, though. I think we should be up front about it from the get-go.

Only some of us are Unsettled and some aren't. If it's going to come up, we need to emphasize how it doesn't play a role in our jobs otherwise it's going to get twisted.

Well yeah; I mean, be honest about that from the get-go. Though- I mean, I don't wanna tell anybody they can't join up, but what happens if the Registered ones get ordered to do something really against League protocol by the military? How would that get handled?

No, we can't refuse people.

I can't say for certain with these as hypothetical, but I'd hope they would stand by the League and their code. Like I said, we need to be united.

No arguments here. Though it's not like I'll have a say in protocol or anything, so.

Maybe not, but your opinion should still matter.

[ She doesn't exactly know how the League operates in that manner. The JSA was more of a family, so everyone's voices got heard at some point. ]

That...is the sweetest thing you've ever said to me. I'm gonna tear up.

Please don't.

I might even call you that name you hate because it's just so applicable right now. You care.

Definitely don't do that.

Wouldn't the entire's team opinion matter in your world? Sure, not everyone is going to agree, but you make it sound like you get no say at all.

In League matters? We don't. We had to burn down a secret underground weapons lab just to get them to admit that we're good enough to make our own team.

They wouldn't let you form your own team in the first place?

No! We had to sneak off and solve one of their own problems for them to even take us seriously! [not...exactly true but ahhh events viewed through the lenses of youth] It's a good thing we did too, because otherwise SB might've been trapped down in that lab forever!

I honestly don't understand your world's League at all.

[ Still not over jerk Superman. ]

Okay- I mean, they're good. They're good people, they just. I dunno.

They get busy. And stressed. [despite having just trash talked them to the end and back kid flash feels it necessary to defend them. they're his heroes still after all]

It's just your Superman... honestly, I've met a few in my life, but never one who would give the cold shoulder to family.

It's- ahhhh, no, jeez. No it's really low down. I keep wanting to find reasons why he'd do it but it totally doesn't matter, does it? He was a jerk about it. Nothing like big blue here.

It was just seriously- I mean it was heartbreaking. We got out of that lab and SB just had this big-eyed look on his face as he looked up at the sky, 'cause he'd never seen it before. And then Supes Sr. does this impressive-looking floating down thing and Superboy was just so- I mean I couldn't see his face but I could tell, he really wanted the guy to like him.

And then he just kind of...left. Like "no idea what you are-" They even called Supey an it. It was not a happy intro to the League for him.

[ That honestly perturbs her. ]

That... can't be Superman. There's just no way.

I have no idea. The guy just wigged out and I ended up taking SB home so he'd have somewhere to sleep.

If he ever shows up, I'll point him in your direction for a stern talking-to. But considering there's already a Supes here...
