[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!

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?

[wifeonmars]

Oh. It's definitely ended back home. Is that why there are hovercars?

[foreverbouncing]

Iiiii...have no idea. Maybe?

War makes technology improve way faster so I guess that makes sense.

[wifeonmars]

Kind of makes me wish I had my bioship. Hovering is cool, but it just reminds me how much better flying is.

[foreverbouncing]

...What's a Bioship?

[wifeonmars]

Oh, she's kind of like me. A ship that can change shape. And she responds to telepathic commands.

[foreverbouncing]

You have a spaceship that's alive?!

[wifeonmars]

Yeah! I mean, kind of. She doesn't have a heart or anything, but she's got a consciousness.
