[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!

We've already been invaded once by Russia, I think Mars might actually be a welcome change.

[Gogo remembers M'Gann from last summer, she'd helped them free Hiro's mind from evil, but from the replies to this message so far she gathers that this time M'Gann isn't just older. She doesn't remember being here before.]

[wifeonmars]

I dunno about that... [Don't say anything about how easy it would be with telepathy and shapeshifting, don't do it.]

Besides, I like Earth the way it is! Humans are pretty great. Mostly.

[maglevflash]

[Definitely gotta be careful about the mind stuff in particular. Russia used brainwashing. You don't wanna be a commie, do you?]

You must meet all the right ones, then. I'm almost jealous. That kind of luck doesn't happen to just anyone.

[wifeonmars]

All the ones that aren't supervillains have been pretty nice. But I do meet a lot of supervillains... Probably evens out.

[maglevflash]

Well, welcome to this world's America, where even people who were average at home have superpowers. Probably be less strange for you than most. Hopefully we outnumber the villains a little, statistically.

I'm Gogo.

[wifeonmars]

Nice to meet you! I'm M'gann, if you missed it earlier.

Superpowers aren't exactly new to me. Nice to know that everyone's not a supervillain though.

[maglevflash]

Have you met up with anyone you know yet?

[wifeonmars]

Yeah! Some of my team is here. Kind of. Some are from different points in the timeline and some aren't even from the same universe? It's pretty confusing.

[maglevflash]

[Oh yeah, she's from THAT world. Gogo can't imagine what it'd be like to know for a fact there's another you out there that your friends know.]

KF deals with that a lot, too. Established heroes seem to get it a lot more than people like me.

[wifeonmars]

KF like... Kid Flash, right?

[M'gann's glad she's already talked to Wally. Meeting his friends might have been a bit too much.]

[maglevflash]

Mmhm. His uncle's from a different world. And almost as young as he is. [And while certainly not as much of a hot mess as Wally can be, Barry is still has a ways to go before he can be considered a put together hero.]

[wifeonmars]

Yeah... I know Kid Flash. We're teammates.

[Going to ignore that little tidbit about the Flash for now.]

Are you guys good friends?

[maglevflash]

[Gogo falters for a moment, her lips thinning tightly. It's a particularly potent question.]

Yeah, I'd like to think we are. [At least that much is true still.] He must be very happy to see you. He's been here a long time.
