[The video opens on a patch of blue sky, with some birds flying by. The camera turns and there's a surprisingly green girl giving a smile and a wave. And apparently holding the comm with no hands. She floats (??) peacefully for a bit, wind catching her cape before looking at the camera again.]

Hey, everyone! I'm Miss Martian. But you can call me M'gann. Just thought I'd introduce myself. A-and even though I am actually from Mars, I promise I'm not here to invade or anything! I mean, an invasion of just one person isn't a very good invasion. And I'd probably go all undercover so you wouldn't even notice... It'd be pretty easy actually.

[She actually appears to be considering the logistics of an alien invasion before remembering herself.]

Anyways! I'm really excited to meet everyone and I hope we can be friends!

[Blink.]

Wait, for real? But all you guys have like, fan clubs and stuff! A girl in my class went as you for halloween last year!

[wifeonmars]

Wow, definitely not that famous. Are sure you're not thinking of another... green person?

[foreverbouncing]

Yeah because the world sure is overrun with green Martians.

[She smirks.]

Plus I'm pretty sure 14 year old girls aren't dressing up as the Martian Manhunter when you're an option anyway.

[wifeonmars]

Hey, Uncle J'onn is really cool! I mean, that's flattering but--

This is really confusing. Who are you, again?

[foreverbouncing]

I've never met him. Oracle won't let me go bother the Justice League.

[Yes this is a sore point shut up.]

Oh I'm Misfit! Hi! [She waves.] We haven't met, you were gone from the Titans before I visited I think.

[wifeonmars]

Hi. [Misfit gets a distracted wave in return.]

I don't really understand what's going on. Who's Oracle? And what are the Titans?

[foreverbouncing]

[Blink. Blink blink.]

...You don't know who the Teen Titans are?

[Oracle was something of a secret, even if she was pretty sure Miss Martian should know her. But...]

[wifeonmars]

Nope! Kind of weird to have Teen in your name, isn't it?

[Who'd want to advertise that?]

[foreverbouncing]

I guess? They came up with it like, four teams and forever ago.

[Stupid comic book time.]

You seriously don't know who they are though? For real?

[wifeonmars]

No clue! I know about the Justice League, though.

[Like that helps.]

[foreverbouncing]

Ooo...kay. That's really weird.

So, okay, the Justice Society. So Wonder Woman and Batman and Superman and stuff? Know them?

[wifeonmars]

[She starts ticking them off on her fingers.]

Yes, but only because of Red Tornado, yes, yes and yes. Doesn't everyone know them?

[foreverbouncing]

Well, yeah, they're like most famous heroes on the planet.

But the Teen Titans are up there too! You and Robin and Wonder Girl...Kid Flash? Speedy? [She frowns.] Teams change a lot I'm not sure who was there when you were there...Raven? Starfire?

[Maybe the ADHD poster child shouldn't be trying to remember a list she read like, four times.]

[wifeonmars]

Oh, I know them! Except for the last two. We're teammates.

...Except for Speedy. I don't really know where he belongs right now.

[Guess waking up with a clone and no arm gives you anger issues.]

[foreverbouncing]

Speedy's a girl.

[Charlie just looks so confused. It's a shame nobody gave her the 'alternative universes' talk yet...]

[wifeonmars]

Oh. I guess he goes by Arsenal now, too. Did they get a new member?

[The other families do that. Batman suddenly had like, four kids.]

[foreverbouncing]

I...Maybe? [Charlie didn't really keep track of the Arrow family, they weren't exciting enough.]

Look, anyway, this doesn't make any sense it's like you know half the right stuff and half the wrong stuff.

[wifeonmars]

Hey! Maybe your stuff is wrong!

[foreverbouncing]

My stuff is not wrong I have the best source in the world!

[wifeonmars]

Who's better than Robin! Or Nightwing!

[foreverbouncing]

Oracle! Who do you think taught Robin and Nightwing, huh?

[Well that wasn't entirely true but Babs was still queen of the information world.]

[wifeonmars]

...I still have no idea who that is. And Batman taught them.

[foreverbouncing]

She's...[Charlie groans. She can't just go saying specifics.] She's kind of Batman's...right hand lady.

[There. That didn't give too much away.]

Man, how can you not know who Oracle is she's a legend!

[wifeonmars]

I don't know! I thought I knew most of Batman's associates.

[That's what he calls them, right? Nothing weird or creepy.]

[foreverbouncing]

[God Charlie hopes that's what he calls them.]

Man. Whatever. Ugh. [She throws up her hands.]

I don't get it, that's all.
