[The video opens with a wide and open field of grass, a few animals seen off in the distance but too blurry to see just what they are yet. The picture is slowly turned around to show off more of the landscape before Joel finally settles it on himself. He's back in his costume and sporting a smile.]

You know, I didn't have any real powers before I got to the City. So I didn't think I'd miss them as much as I did while I didn't have them but now that they're back I feel like I could take on the whole world.

[He laughs a bit.]

I guess I've just got a lot of energy to burn. Good thing I took the day off. Does anyone have any recommendations for nice places to spend a few hours? I think I'm going to check some places out now that I can just run to them again.

You could try London. I might be a bit biased since I was born there, but I always thought it was an interesting place.

I've actually been to London before but never really stopped to do anything there. [He smiles.] What're some good places to check out in London?

Well there's plenty of museums and of course Parlament and Buckingham if you want to do some touristy things. If you just want to relax though there's this really nice pub...er well there was in my world anyway, but it would be worth checking out just in case. It was at [insert address here for somewhere down near the Thames.] It had a really nice view of the river.

[He nods a few times, memorizing what Seras tells him.]

Will they let me into the pub? I don't know what the drinking age over there is.

It's eighteen so you'll be fine.

That's good. I'd be annoyed if they wouldn't let me in even if I wasn't planning on drinking any. [He laughs a little.]

Well, pubs serve food too so you'd still be able to eat there even if you couldn't drink.

That's good news too. I can enjoy the sights and refuel at the same time.

Would you like me to bring anything back for you?

No, I don't need anything.

I'm going to try to visit soon anyway. Once I find a airline that won't mind me flying in my coffin for the whole trip.

Okay.

You might have better luck finding someone to lend you a private jet and pilot.

I think I'd have a better chance trying to save my money and buying a jet.

[In other words none at all.]

[He smiles a bit.]

Well, actually...how much does the coffin weigh?

Thirty kilos, I think. I've never put it on a scale so I'm not sure.

That doesn't sound that heavy. I might be able to carry it across the ocean. Super speed and all. You wouldn't need a plane that way.

Are you sure? That's thirty kilos before I even get in it.

Still, thank you.

As long as you're not planning to bring another person or a ton of heavy stuff along I should be able to pull it off.

That would be nice and don't worry I'd pack light. I really wouldn't need much.

[He nods, offering a smile.] Great. You deserve a nice vacation for all the work you do, ma'am. [A beat.] I mean Seras.

Thank you and I really do need one, but I can't anytime soon. Too much I have to take care of here.

[Like meeting Jack for a secret mission for one.]

You don't need to thank me. I'm happy to help after you've done so much for me. Whenever you want to go, just give me a call.

Alright, I will.

And thank you again. Even if you don't want to hear it. I really do appreciate this.

You're welcome, Seras. Like I said, I'm happy to help out like this.

Okay, but I still owe you for this one.

No arguing.

[Joel opens his mouth to say something but stops and smiles.]

Alright. I won't argue, ma'am.
