[ So here's Jesse and Collette, grinning stupidly at the camera and looking like they've got a plan up their sleeves. Jesse's the first to speak, rubbing his hands together excitedly: ]

Okay, so like... I heard there's superheroes here. Like real, bona fide superheroes. Costumes and everything. And, like, where I come from, you know, we don’t really got superheroes except in stories. So we were thinking it'd be real cool...

[ Collette glances at Jesse, then to the camera. She blurts out something that surely will never ever cause immense embarrassment once she learns the extent of the super heroes she's been around (discounting Barnaby and Kotetsu, who are weird anyway): ]

... If we could meet a few of you in person, and maybe even get an autograph!

Army. [ He says that like he's a little offended you had to ask. ]

( And she's nothing but enthusiasm -- that's the right branch. That's where her brother's at! )

Yes! I should have known! My brother, he's part of the army too. Has been since highschool! Since graduating highschool, I mean, he was in the JROTC before then, though I think he joined that to impress this girl, which was funny since she ended up transferring schools or something after the first month, and he stuck to it anyway.

Sounds like you're real proud of him. [He thinks of his own sister; he hasn't seen her in a long time. ] You are, aren't you?

You bet. Mom was too. I miss him while he's in Germany, but he'll be back.

( She had always believed so, no matter how long the wait might have ended up being. By now she guesses it's a moot point. )
