[ Squints. What is social networking. ]

Doesn't that get-- [ Uh ] It seems like an easier way to paint a target on your back.

[futureleader]

Target on your back for what?

[retropolis]

Er -- anything.

[futureleader]

No? Not really.

[retropolis]

... How does it work?

[futureleader]

The social networks or everyone's kinks? Because people are freaky and I'm not going to answer that if it's the later.

[retropolis]

[ Excuse you. ] The social networks.

[futureleader]

[yer excused.] It's all connected to the world wide web.

[retropolis]

What is that?

[futureleader]

It's like... a phone, a radio, and an encyclopedia mixed into one thing but more. Way more.

You have to experience it to believe it, to be honest.

[retropolis]

I can imagine. But I get the feeling I'll feel that way about most everything from now on. And -- I don't see the purpose in that kind of advertising.

[futureleader]

Maybe you'll find people that share your hobbies.

[retropolis]

Um. [ Deliberately misses the point. ] I can find other crimefighters just by scouting around.

[futureleader]

It's easier on the internet.

[retropolis]

Maybe to the sorts of folk who enjoy exposing themselves.

[futureleader]

Are you shaming the internet?

[retropolis]

Well -- if the shoe fits. I never needed the "internet" in my day.

[futureleader]

[brb. he's too busy laughing.]

[retropolis]

[ omg you're going to make him cry one of these days. ]

What?

[futureleader]

You're just... so... old.

[a pause.]

Do you know the Midnighter?

[retropolis]

No. Should I? [ Uhh. ] ... Is that someone's name, or another "internet" thing?

[futureleader]

Oh he's only the greatest superhero ever. You should meet him.

[retropolis]

He is? Well... he sounds formidable.

[futureleader]

You should meet him.

[retropolis]

Is there a way to get into contact with him? A signal of some kind, maybe...?
