[Video]

[A man in a strange one-eyed mask glares into the camera, studying it to make sure it's working. He looks singed up and it's possible he's still smoldering.]

All right, what's this horseshit? Seriously.

[His voice is hoarse, and he coughs a bit.]

I show up here, wherever the hell this is, against my will, some robot voice starts narrating some sci-fi crap to me, saying they're gonna try to enlist me as a damn peacekeeper for some planet that isn't even mine.

[A minor grunt of pain.]

So, naturally, I shoot up the joint and try to get whoever's jerkin' my chain to show himself, and I get about a million volts up my ass for my trouble. What, I'm NOT supposed to try and shoot whoever the hell's kidnapped me in the face? Last time I got shuffled off to another fucking planet, it ended ugly for the pricks who did it to me.

[Another groan, as his head falls into his hand.]

So I crawl my fried ass outside, only to get rolled up on by some two-bit cops who scoop me up and drop me in a holding cell in some dingy precinct that hasn't seen a mop since the 70s. Who do I gotta talk to to get the hell out of this joint and get a pack of smokes? I ain't about to pay prison prices for those things.

[His head thunks back against the gray brick wall behind him.]

And don't tell me we're having another goddamn "crisis." Even if that's true, don't tell me that shit. I'm sick of hearing about it.

Hilarious, Lawton. Showing your incarcerated face on the network to leave as a first impression.

No such thing as pride, right?

Not here. I'm the only one.

And. If I could, I'd be tearing you out of there the minute you made this post.

But, ah.

I kind of can't.

Christ, I wish I could private this. Bit of the former. None of the latter.

I might be in a similar situation as you. If you squint.

I could draw a few similarities, yeah. There were dinosaurs around a few weeks ago, for one.

Can't die, though. Probably the only real plus side compared to back home.

Wait. When did you come from?

We already went down there to fetch Knockout? The card still existed?

Oh. Christ.

Dimension, time, an amaglam of shoddy scifi elements or whatever. People filtering in and out like clockwork. Basically.

Right?

When I get out―Waller be damned, but when I'm far, far away from that asylum and soon―I'm getting myself some conciliatory ice cream. You'd be welcome to join me.

Well. At least it's not Arkham.

NOHoPE. Unfortunate name times ten.

Apparently they didn't get the memo until it was too late.

[ Pause. ] Just what are you going to do here with no Six, no Squad?

What? Going back to the good old life of crime?
