This stinks, Brainy

I hate running from a fight.

They'll never think to look for us here

that gives us a chance to mount a counterattack.

Attack how?

There's only the two of us left.

Yes, I've been giving that problem some thought.

Oh, no, I know you're a level 12 mega genius

but you are seriously out of your mind.

There's no other option.

All of our teammates have been captured.

To save them, we'll have to break the laws of time

and recruit heroes from the past.

But messing with history?

That's risky, even for us.

Incomplete records from the 21st century

show that three members of the legendary Justice League

once came to the future.

My research indicates now is that time.

I did my homework, too, Brainy.

The histories say three heroes came to the future.

But only two of them ever made it home.

[instrumental music]

[screaming]

You're ready, Supergirl?

Dude, I was born ready.

[intense music]

That tickles.

[grunts]

kaboom

I'll take that, thanks.

[groans]

[grunts]

crash

[instrumental music]

whoosh

So, Queen Bee and Dr. Cyber?

Not much of a workout.

Hear that, Ollie? Kara thinks it's too easy.

Well, we wouldn't want her to get bored.

[intense music]

pew

[grunts]

[groans]

I hate you.

crash

[grunts]

[grunting]

Some kid, huh?

Today's her 21st birthday

but she'd rather be here practicing

than go out on the town with me and Dinah.

Good for her.

Hey, at least we wanted

to spend some time with her.

You ever think about how she must feel?

She's always an outsider.

I know a little bit about that myself, Ollie.

Just a little. You came to Earth as a baby, grew up here.

Kara spent most of her life

on a planet with technology

hundreds of years ahead of ours.

'She's got to feel like she's'

'trapped in the stone age.‘

I've tried to make her feel at home.

How? Seems to me, you treat her just like another cape.

I was never happy about Kara going into the family business

but now that she's decided it's what she wants to do

I've tried to step back and let her develop into her own person.

I didn't want her living in the shadow

of being Superman's cousin.

This may shock you, but she's proud to be your cousin

she even changed her costume to look more like yours.

Yes and I'm very proud.

But don't tell her.

No, that's a job for Superman.

- Well? - Well, what?

Aren't you gonna give me notes

about all the stuff I screwed up?

No notes, Kara.

I've got nothing left to teach you.

Not bad, kiddo, you set a new record for the simulation.

whoosh

zap

bang

Kara!

beep beep

I'm certain that this must be disorienting for you.

- My name is-- - Brainiac!

Yes, how did you..

Uh-oh.

[grunting]

Please, calm down

I'm not going to hurt you.

Whoa, sparky

let's hear what he has to say.

Thank you.

Yes, I am a Brainiac

but I'm not a machine.

I'm organic.

The universe conquering Brainiac

you knew is my distant ancestor.

'Over time, he learned how to pass'

'his code down biologically.‘

lam Brainiac 5.

Think of me as the black sheep of my family

dedicated to doing good to make up

for my ancestor's legacy of evil.

And you demonstrated that by kidnapping us?

We'd have never done it if the situation wasn't so dire.

Where are we, anyway?

Approximately 1,000 years into your future

in what you'd call the 31st century.

Time travel, swell.

It's a real thrill for me to meet you, sir.

You're the famous John Stewart, father of--

You wanna shut up before you create a time paradox?

Sorry.

Chuck Taine, codename, Bouncing Boy.

Why did you bring us here?

[instrumental music]

We're part of a group called the Legion Of Superheroes.

(Chuck) 'A galaxy spanning force, none unlike your Justice League.‘

A team of criminals called the Fatal Five attacked

our new headquarters and captured all our teammates.

They must have something big planned

to risk taking on the Legion.

But we can't figure what it is.

We needed help, so we set the time bubble to bring back

some of Earth's greatest heroes.

But why us?

It-it was random, we'd have taken anyone.

Okay, so how can we help?

Whoa, time out.

Just because he's seriously cute

doesn't mean we should trust a Brainiac.

I'm not getting a bad vibe off the kid.

Apparently neither are you.

Seriously cute, huh?

The date we pulled her from

is exactly when Supergirl vanished

from the historical records.

Brainy, she's going to die.

We have to tell her.

No, telling her could change history.

Keep quiet, Chuck. That's an order.

You know, Brainiac, being organic and having

a heart, not the same thing.

We're in. What's next?

The Iab's this way.

The tech is out of date, but we should find enough..

whoosh

pew pew pew

[intense music]

A Green Lantern, that's a rare sight in this galaxy these days.

Take a good look, he won't be here long.

bang

[grunting]

beep

[grunts]

[grunts]

So what's your power? Super strength, speed?

I have a 12th level intellect.

Great, you can knock them out with your diploma.

[grunts]

That was unnecessary, my belt protects me from any impact.

Maybe I was just trying to cop a feel.

[grunts]

whoosh

[groans]

[grunts]

pew pew pew

[groaning]

Empress.

thud

[grunting]

[grunts]

whoosh

whoosh

You'll find the Emerald Eye of Ekron more than a match

for your ring.

[grunts]

On your feet.

Ohh, what?

You've got to free the others..

[grunts]

Forget them, we have the Green Lantern, let's go!

[groaning]

Ohh, what's going on?

zap

(Green Arrow) 'Can you track them with those things?‘

Not yet, but I've identified the technology.

They're Scion receptors.

Hey, that soda machine in the lobby still works.

Oh, thanks.

Back on Argos, we use Scionic technology

for our remote controls.

When we lost one, you just had to think at it, and it'd beep.

Don't know why we bothered

they were always in the couch cushions.

Good idea, but it won't work.

The Fatal Five are masking the carrier wave somehow.

So, I have to know.

Why'd you save me first?

My decision was based on pure logic.

ReaHy?

Because Green Lantern's the most powerful.

No offense, but I really don't think you could follow

the reasoning of a 12th level intellect such as my own.

Guess not.

Hey, Kara, wanna get me one of those drinks?

Oh, sure.

Admit it, genius, you're in love with her.

Ludicrous, we just met.

Moreover, as a Coluan, I'm ruled by intellect, not emotion.

So in love with her.

Increased sweat gland production, shortness of breath

inability to concentrate..

I thought it was guilt, but I am in love.

How did you know?

Just call me Cupid, junior.

I never miss.

I'm gonna raid this dump.

See if I can't upgrade my arrows

with some future tech.

I'll be gone for a long time

so you two are stuck with each other, alone.

For a long time.

[instrumental music]

[machine beeping]

You had the superior weapons

and the advantage of surprise.

Explain to me how you failed to capture Brainiac 5?

Watch your tone, half a man, I'd hardly call capturing

a Green Lantern a failure.

'He's more powerful than a dozen Brainiacs.‘

Perhaps, but that was never part of the plan.

You have to learn to improvise, Tharok.

We're better armed than ever

to strike against the United Planets.

After that, the universe will be ours for the taking.

What's that?

A legion flight ring

all of us have one.

So, does this mean we're going steady?

Uh..

Trust me, a thousand years ago, that joke was hilarious.

I thought since I couldn't trace the control disk

maybe I could trace the missing Legionnaires' rings.

But it was another dead end.

It's a shame our Justice League comlinks don't work here.

We could track Green Lantern by his transponder.

Come to think of it, we still could if we had a..

(together) Quantum tunneling RF transponder.

Hold that thought.

[crackling]

[instrumental music]

beep beep

Yeah, this looks like it could do some damage.

(Supergirl) 'Get up here, Brainiac's found G.L.'

His signal is coming from this ship.

They're headed right towards the capital of the United Planets.

The Fatal Five has tried to destroy it before.

And now with G.L. and the entire Legion

under their control, they just might succeed.

The good news is my personal cruiser runs rings

around their ship. We could still beat them there.

Then what?

We improvise.

(Supergirl) 'Nice ship.‘

It's strictly no frills, but it's fast.

What do you pilot back home?

Usually just a pickup.

A pickup, is that a type of star cruiser?

Yes, yes, it is.

We're going into orbit.

beep beep

And we've got company.

[intense music]

You guys get aboard that mother ship

and shut down the control devices.

What are you gonna do?

Hold off John and the Legion

until you snap them back to normal.

You won't stand a chance against them.

Maybe, but I'm the only one who does stand a chance

of protecting the capital.

You can't go, because I Io..

Because I lied to you.

Kara, I don't even know you but history says you never

return from this battle.

What?

And you knew that all along?

I'm sorry.

I had hoped it wouldn't come to this.

There's still a planet full of people down there

who need our help.

Do your job, and I'm going to do mine.

But..

In case I don't see you again.

[dramatic music]

Hey, genius.

Hi, how about putting that big brain of yours

to work on a plan to get us aboard the mother ship?

I'll get us in.

pew pew pew

bang

crash

I love the direct approach.

The rest of the mission won't be so easy, let's move.

[intense music]

(Supergirl) 'You can do this, Kara.‘

No biggie, just another practice mission.

whoosh

[grunting]

crash

[grunts]

[intense music]

bang

Shoot

I know, I was hoping

they'd be out looking for us.

No, shoot!

[grunts]

Obliterate them.

whoosh

[grunting]

[grunting]

[screaming]

[groaning]

[screech]

[grunts]

[crackling]

Okay, big guy, that's as far as you go.

You can't stop Validus with that toy.

Rusty, I got him right where I want him.

[shatter]

[crackling]

No!

Argh!

[grunting]

whoosh

[groaning]

[grunting]

pow

[grunts]

[groaning]

John, stop.. Fight it.

[screaming]

Oh, Kara!

[dramatic music]

I knew what I was doing, but I couldn't stop.

Where are we?

Last thing I remember was..

Oh, no.

[grunts]

Just so you know, the sharp

part's on the other end, chief.

Believe me, that's coming.

[grunting]

[groans]

Tear him to bits.

Slowly.

[growling]

[grunts]

[dramatic music]

We wanted to say thanks

by making you Honorary Legionnaires.

It's very nice, but I already have a ring.

Don't worry about it, G.L., you can't keep it anyway.

If you took it home, the future

technology could pollute the time stream.

[instrumental music]

I'm keeping mine.

I'm not going back.

Kara..

History says Supergirl never returned from this mission

because she decided to stay in the future.

Whatever abducted them didn't leave

any traceable energy signature.

Maybe Dr. Fate or Zatanna?

zap

Where's Kara?

She asked us to give you this.

[dramatic music]

Tell ma and pa I love them.

And I love you, too, Clark.

Don't take this the wrong way but I found a place

where I can make a difference.

Where I'm more than just Superman's kid cousin.

|.. H feel I belong here.

Also, I met this boy.

You should've seen her, she was amazing.

She's a grown woman now, capable of choosing--

Kara's headstrong, but she's always made good decisions.

I trust herjudgment.

But you were right, Ollie.

I wish I had told her.

It's okay, Clark.

She knows.

Now, this boy, Kara likes so much..

...does he have a name?
