1ST GEAR | VIDEO

[gearshifting]

[Richie is excited but nervous, unsure what to expect from this new world and all of the people in it. But mostly excited. He’s never gotten to dimension hop before! And people say that Virgil gets all the fun. Not that it doesn't completely suck that all of his tech is back home. Couldn't they have brought him when he was in costume? Of course not that would be too easy.

So he’s putting his best foot forward and trying to look as cheery as possible—while also trying to get as much data from the network as he can.]

Yo, man, this place is off the chain, but I’m pretty sure my mom is against me traveling out of town on my own, let alone to an alternate universe. I hope I get a note to take home that says “We apologize for taking your son on an interdimensional field trip without prior permission. Next time make sure to pack a lunch.” [He holds out his hand a bit like he’s reading something on it but then turns his eyes back to the screen.]

I’m sure the Justice League would have been all over this. Saving universes is their thing. Me? I have a math final to study for. But I’m here, so who else is a world-hopping newbie? I can’t be the only one around.

Good to know they're still an angry bunch...

[ Shaking her head. ]

Not everything is lining up with the history of my universe... but that's how it is. [ It's strange, but it doesn't really pertain to her personal history so she's not worked up about it. ] You'll meet quite a few people from worlds like yours, but not exactly.

Worlds like mine in that...I could run into another version of myself or would that cause too much of a paradox and make the world explode unless one of us killed the other?

[Did he ramble that all out in one breath? Yes he did.]

Luckily time is "frozen" so that's not possible, I think.

[ ... maybe. ]

The chances of you meeting another version of yourself are slim, but others might have already met him.

[Doubles of the same person are unlikely to meet each other. Good to know. He's not as excited to meet his future self as Virgil was. He may actually have to give up cheese fries.]

So you've never had to meet yourself?

[ Her nose wrinkles at the thought of Kara. ]

Not here.

[She works with the Justice League, meeting your double probably isn't too high a shot.]

That's a relief. I'm pretty sure I'd rather avoid meeting my zombie self. Thanks for the low down. Feel like my head might explode from all the information but it's all good.

It's a crazy amount to process, but just take it slow.

Gonna try. At least until I end up back home. [And then gives a little shrug.] Whenever that is.

Could be sooner than you realize.
