[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!

[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.

[wifeonmars]

Ah... sorry?

Are any of those people here, too? Maybe you could ask them.

[foreverbouncing]

No.

[She sighs.]

At least, I haven't found any of them. And they're kind of overprotective so if they were here they'd have already yelled at me for something.

I think it's just me.

[wifeonmars]

[This suddenly got very sad.]

Oh. Well, we can still be friends. Even if what we know doesn't really line up.

[foreverbouncing]

[Yup. But she's trying to stay positive! And she can't help but smile at that.]

For real? Oh man. I bet we'd make an awesome superhero team-up!

[wifeonmars]

Nothing can beat two redheads on a mission!

[foreverbouncing]

I like the way you think!

So you just got here too, I guess?

[wifeonmars]

Yep! Brand new. Still kind of figuring things out, to be honest. Being a superhero here seems a lot different than back home.

[foreverbouncing]

Me too. Just showed up a couple days ago.

It's all pretty crazy huh?

[wifeonmars]

Mm... Not too crazy. I mean, I'm from another planet. Earth was already an adventure.

[foreverbouncing]

I guess. But this is a whole different universe!

Like I've been reading some stuff, and apparently the Cold War is still a thing here?
