[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.

Tch, the old man's just being an idiot.

So he's some sort of comic book character?

[runningstart]

No. No- not for us. Not just that anyway, I mean there's a ton of comic books based on him since he's not exactly in the market for a brand name unlike some people I know [booster gold] so he doesn't charge for using his likeness as far as I can figure, but no. Not just that. Bonafide superhero.

[standsproud]

Huh. So people write books about the real guy?

[runningstart]

Yeah, of course. He's a hero. He's probably got a whole library of books about him.

[standsproud]

There are all sorts of heroes here. What makes him special?

[runningstart]

Well, back home he's one of the biggest and the best. Pretty famous. Pretty close to indestructible. I guess that has some draw.

He probably doesn't have any books here yet, though. But give it time.

[standsproud]

All right, then when he gets some books here, I'll read them. It'll shut that old man up.

[runningstart]

Why do you keep calling that guy old? He doesn't look that old.

[standsproud]

He's my grandfather. When I know him, he's pushing 70. Even if he's from the '30s, he's still that old codger deep down inside.

[runningstart]

Hah! So- okay, so did he travel to the future, you to the past or did that just happen here? Because like, I am experienced with time-travelling relatives.

[standsproud]

Just here. He got from World War II to 1989 the normal way.

[runningstart]

So...what, you don't like your granddad? How come?

[standsproud]

[Jotaro actually likes him quite a bit. He's just awful at expressing affection.] ...he's okay. An annoying nosy idiot, but okay.

[runningstart]

What is this, are you being shy? Just go up to the guy and be like, "HEY you're super annoying, but I still like you Grandpappy." [grandpappy]

[standsproud]

...waste of time. He knows that already. I'm not going to say it again.

[runningstart]

Oh my god, you are shy. That's actually really cute.

[standsproud]

Can it. None of your damn business.

[runningstart]

Hahaha. That's- Sure dude, sure. Canning it.

[standsproud]

Got anything else to say?

[runningstart]

Nope. [He even pops the P. Obnoxious.]

[standsproud]

[His Stand can catch bullets, punk. REMEMBER THAT.]

...what a pain... [Disconnect.]
