(Batman stands up)

Batman : My name is Bruce.

Group : Hello, Bruce.

Group : NO!!

(Captain America stands up)

CA : My name is Steve.

Group : Hello, Steve!

CA : I lost my sidekick when Baron Zemo tied us both to a rocket which he then blew up.

Troi : Steve, what have you done to try and deal with all this?

CA : I continue to serve as a living symbol of liberty!

Troi : Really? Is liberty like denial?

(Green Hornet stands up; Duncan's turn is next)

GH : My name's Britt.

Group : Hello, Britt!

GH : I lost my sidekick to a Hollywood career. He also had better moves than me.

(We go down the hall; Seated in another group are Garak from DS9, Xanatos from Gargoyles, and Ares from Xena, among others)

Counselor : The Turning Your Back On All That Support Group will now begin its Thursday session. State your name.

(A certain 5000 year old stands up)

Methos : My name is lost in memory so deep and so vast, it questions mankind's feeble conception of their origins to even contemplate the why and where.....

Group : (Cuts him off) Hello, Methos!
