[A teenager with long, reddish hair and amber-colored eyes considers the camera, adjusting a few note-cards he made as he thought things through]

Hi, everyone. Wonderlanders or whatever you call yourselves, Obviously this is my first time doing this kind of thing. Hell, the last time I was talking to a camera, it was to record my own eulogy after I’d been shot.

In the knee, it wasn’t really that serious or anything. But that kind of thing does make you wonder. Maybe this is the place for that. Wondering.

[A small, awkward chuckle.]

I’m just hoping someone out there sees this, and can lend the poor noob a hand. Because, prison or nexus dimension or whatever, this place sure seems strange, even by my standards. And, um, yeah, I spent my childhood in a VR chamber because I wasn’t able to interact with the rest of the world very well.

Oh, oops, I forgot to introduce myself. My name is Bart. Bart Allen. It’s short for Bartholomew, and I wanted to be different. It’s not the worst nickname in the world. I have a friend who has to go by ‘Gates’ because his name’s pretty much impossible to pronounce without insectoid mandibles.

[Well, this is a nice breath of fresh air after the shitstorm that was the last event. As much as it kind of sucks to have more people he cares about stuck here, Bart's a good friend and good company. Kon grins.]

Dude, you recorded your own eulogy? That's messed up.

[He doesn't ask where Bart is. He's already using his superhearing to try and zero in on his voice. It's still not easy for him, but he's been practicing. He thinks he can get it.]

How else am I supposed to make sure you guys mention the unimportant but fun things? Like my loathing of chives, for example. There's got to be something you want to be remembered for that wasn't on your official fan page.

[Bart is actually a little relieved to have seen some familiar faces, and who really could complain about one of his best friends. Even if he was going to give him hell along the way.]

[Bart does die, and so does Kon. And then they both come back. Wow, that's... still just as depressing as when Cissie first told them. And since he doesn't know when Bart's from, besides sometime after his knee got shot, he doesn't know if that's happened or not.

Huh. He kind of gets how Cissie feels now. It would suck to be the one who breaks that news if it has to be broken. He shrugs.]

Haven't thought about it much.

Yeah, well, sometimes I think too much. Side-effect of all that time. Besides, I'll always have people thinking of me as that impulsive kid. Even if there's someone else filling those shoes.

[And that thought will forever bring a grin to his face. It was unexpected and flattering to see Irey in that uniform. Not to mention how Wally reacted. Revenge wasn't really what he wanted to call it, since Bart had nothing to do with that, but really, the whole situation was chock full of awesome. At least, it had been. He hoped they were okay, but the twist of memory of where he had been before here, what had happened to get to that point made his expression falter.]

Not really sure how much to say.

[Kon quirks an eyebrow.] About what?

Well, it isn't exactly a secure channel, now, is it, Conner?

[He doesn't want to talk too much, not where someone might be able to dig up the files.]

Maybe we should meet up, compare notes?
