[ 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!

Details, details!

secret identities are a Big Deal blah blah blah

[whatsupcroc]

Yeah, yeah, I know, I know! Trust me, even not-superheroes worry about identities.

[nyktelios]

you had to stay a secret?

[whatsupcroc]

Not as long as the main guys did, but yeah, we couldn't let people know that we were who we were.

( As that would have gotten them all killed, no pomp or circumstance, but so it goes. )

[nyktelios]

it can feel kind of cool and sneaky sometimes
but then sometimes it's just a huge massive pain

[whatsupcroc]

I can totally see both sides of that, I'd be the worst at a real secret identity, I'm so glad we just had to lie about what we knew it was much easier to pretend and not have to set myself up as two people with the same stomping grounds!

[nyktelios]

so you guys didn't have fake names you just had to be super careful about not showing who you were?
that sounds sort of like you did have two identities. i mean not completely, but sort of.

[whatsupcroc]

No fake names, and no license to be discovered! Kind of don't need the fake names thing when you talk to each other mind to mind and play dumb the rest of the time when you're recognizable as you!

[nyktelios]

huh yeah you're right that would just be kind of weird and not all that cool. i think i'd get irritated.

[whatsupcroc]

I probably would have after years!
