[ The video blinks on suddenly, catching the corner of the chin. There's a shift of it left, right, before it settles on a pair of ice blue eyes, far too close. Familiar eyes, and an even more familiar face when he pulls the screen back.

Bruce Wayne. ]

You know. [ He clears his voice quietly. ] It's a really surreal experience to be snoozing next to a beautiful lady - and let me tell you, her breasts are fantastic - and then suddenly landing back-first into a strange city. It's terribly rude.

And to make it worse, I switch on this thing, and the first thing I see is my own face. [ Pause. Dramatic pause. He's letting that sink in, City. ] I think there's a word for it - deja vu? But words don't seem very adequate right now, no.

[ There's a scuffling as he sets down the camera on a nice surface. Rocky, though. But it steadies after a while, and he clears his throat. ]

Unfortunately, as handsome as my own face is, I don't remember making any of those posts. Or talking to any of you surely fascinating people [ Bright smile. ]

Care to enlighten me?

[ ... Shush, you're not supposed to realise he has been here for days. ]

[ A little mockingly: ]

I thought a gentleman doesn't kiss and tell.

[ Just as mockingly: ] I didn't say who. There are lots of women with super-strength out there.

Really?

This City sounds more and more fascinating by the second.

Doesn't it? It's not too bad of a place, for the most part.

Tony Stark, by the way. I'm sure you've heard of me. [ OR MORE LIKE HE'S SEEN EVERYONE MENTION HIM HAH ]

[ He peers at you for a long, long moment. Then hums a soft, thoughtful little sound. ]

Not bad for a man I'm supposed to be a clone of.

[ His fingers lift, and he traces Tony's beard. ] Could do with less facial hair.

[CHINSTROKE...]

Hey, don't knock the facial hair. It's the thing of legends.

Your legends must have ran out of material really fast.

Now, now. There's nothing wrong with the classic. Or reinvention.

Are we still talking about your facial hair?

Well, I'm certain that it could be applied to more than just facial hair, if you really wanted it to.

But about what, that's the thing.

Can't it be ambiguous? Maybe you'd like to guess?

Nah, that's too boring. It won't tell me anything about you, and that's what I'm fascinated by right now.

Facinated? Why, I'm honored.

My public biography is available on my company website.

Mister Stark. [ Drawwwl. ] Who on earth would be satisfied with a public biography?

Ah, but can't a man have his secrets? It's no fun if you don't have to work for it.

But you have me at a disadvantage here.

What do you know about me, Mr. Stark?

Billionaire playboy, a company that's successful enough, and you caught Selina's attention.

About as much as you keep in your public profile, I'd wager. Unless you're not one for secrets, Mr. Wayne.

There are no sharks here. [ Droll, then- ]

My, Mr. Stark, do I catch a hint of jealousy?

Now what would I have to be jealous about?

The same thing as the other kid.

Selina.

[ His voice just goes a little harder ]

Breaking hearts should only go so far.

[ He smiles a little at that. ]

So says a chronic heartbreaker?

[ A grin ]

I give no hope to be anything but.

And yet you're getting angry on her behalf. I don't get it.
