[There is the sound of buttons being a bit haphazardly mashed, and some slight shuffling. Eventually, there is a quiet 'oh', and the video flickers to life and reveals a handsome young man, dressed in a tight-fitting t-shirt and sweat pants.]

Sorry, folks, I'm still trying to figure out how things work around here. [He gives a little sheepish smile and ducks his head, before glancing back to the camera.] Uh. Hello, I'm Captain Steve Rogers. Some of you might know me as Captain America. I'm from Brooklyn, New York, and I was told that you could use my help up here.

There's not -- a lot for me to do at home right now, so here I am. [A little pause.] Though if anyone could catch me up on -- current events, back home, it'd be appreciated.

We've had our fair share of other strangely named whack jobs.

[Private]

[thestarspangledman]

I'm sorry to hear that.

[Private]

[batmanschmatman]

It's fine. I guess it's what makes us unique.

[Private]

[thestarspangledman]

Still, not a great claim to fame.

[Private]

[batmanschmatman]

We've got plenty of other stuff to make up for it.

[Private]

[thestarspangledman]

Such as?

[Private]

[batmanschmatman]

Well, a couple superhero teams, some individual heroes, a decent leg up on technology and health care compared to some of the other worlds we've visited... I don't know. It's home. I'd probably have some affection for it even if it was kind of a mess.

[thestarspangledman]

[A little bit of a blink.]

...Superhero teams? Huh.

[Private]

[batmanschmatman]

Yeah.

Learn something new every day. ....Or in this case, lots of new things in one day.

[Private]

[batmanschmatman]

I know it's a lot of stuff to process, but it does get easier.

Guess I'll just have to see. It hasn't been an ...exactly fun week or so. ...Week and 70 years.
