[ The feed opens up to a young woman sitting behind the counter of a flower shop. Several flower arrangements are lined up behind her, some more artfully arranged - and frankly, more gorgeous - than others.

(They're works in progress, okay?) On the bright side, she's sticking to safe combinations or single-flower bouquets, rather than branching out. ]

Hey, everyone. [ She beams into the camera; first impressions matter, after all. ] I've gotta ask, especially if you've been here a while: what's one thing you wish you'd known when you first got here?

I'm no stranger to parallel universes - trust me, living in Central City will do that to you - but it's still kind of surreal, you know? This doesn't have to be anything life-changing. It can be something small like, oh... I don't know, your new favorite coffee place?

They didn't. [ She bites on her lip to keep from laughing. It's not unreasonable, given Grodd's entire existence, but she can't say she's heard anything like it before. ] Like... both you and your dog came through the porters, but only your dog was affected?

How does that work?

[aboveand]

[Terry whistles, and Ace flies into view behind him. Only his Great Dane can look bored while hovering in mid-air.]

Apparently I'm the one who lets him do the cool stuff.

Somehow.

[eloquentness]

[ Whoa. Iris stares blankly at that Great Dane, watching him hover for a couple seconds more than necessary. Just when she thinks she's seen it all . . . ]

They always said a man's best friend was his dog.... Except in this case, it's kind of literal.

[aboveand]

Here's the best part--he's not my dog.

He's my boss from back home's dog.

[eloquentness]

What? [ That seriously doesn't make any sense. ] I wonder if it was a case of mistaken identity... like you were supposed to get powers, but your boss's dog came at the same time?

[aboveand]

Considering that he technically gets his powers from me, I'd say it's more a case of someone having a terrible sense of humor.

[eloquentness]

You're telling me. On the upside, no one's gonna see a superpowered dog coming.

[aboveand]

Except for maybe all the people that have already seen my flying dog.

[eloquentness]

[ She laughs, ] Then they'd better hope they haven't warranted anything for a visit.

[aboveand]

Dog justice?

[eloquentness]

Flying dog justice. Makes it sound more impressive.

[aboveand]

Maybe I should get him a mask.

[eloquentness]

And a matching cape, if you think he'll sit still long enough.

[aboveand]

Do dogs even like capes?

[eloquentness]

Honestly? I have no idea, but you might as well go all the way.

[aboveand]

[Terry strokes his chin, thinking.]

Truuuuuuuuuue.

[eloquentness]

You're gonna take pictures, right? That's the most important part.

[aboveand]

You're seriously overestimating the patience of my guard dog right now.

[eloquentness]

Then let me take them. Worst case scenario, he'll just be unimpressed with me.

[aboveand]

Worst case scenario, he'll eat you.

[eloquentness]

We'll cross that bridge when we get to it.

[ Let it be known that Iris won't let something like a dog bite stop Ace from achieving internet fame. ]

[aboveand]

Your funeral.

[eloquentness]

Uh-huh. So... guy with the floating dog, you got a name?

I'm Iris. Iris West.

[aboveand]

Terry. McGinnis.

Nice to meet you, Iris.

[eloquentness]

Nice to meet you too, Terry.

Text me when you've got him that mask and cape, okay?
