[Supergirl has just been attacked by an android.]
Standard Z8 Combat Trainer.
Like the ones we use. The League buys 'em in bulk.
So?
So who do we buy them from?
The Army, I thin... Oh, wait a minute...
Another fun fact: The man who commissioned the Z8 Project? The same man who put you in the hospital.
General Hardcastle? He's retired now, isn't he?
Gone. And hoping to be forgotten.
Figured someone would come for me some day. Only, I thought they'd be from the other side. [aiming his weapon at Supergirl] This weapon fires a projectile of kryptonite pellets suspended in a liquid silicon core. Causes maximum scatter on impact. Only gets one shot, but trust me, alien, it'll do the job.
We're not here to hurt you. We just have some questions.
Sorry if I don't take your word for it. As I recall, your kind can be fickle.
[After a tense moment Green Arrow steps in front of Supergirl]
Okay, now what, smart guy? Use up your magic bullet on me, and you're left with one very ticked off Supergirl.
[General Hardcastle grunts]
Now, be a good host and tell us a story.
[The brief distraction gives Question the chance to easily disarm Hardcastle]
The army shut me out after Superman invaded. The feeling upstairs was I failed when it counted most, so how could I lead again? I got the message and took early retirement. Problem is, I know too much. One of these days they’ll decide to shut me up. The military and big business have been in cahoots for decades. Top secret stuff. Experiments on metahumans, mutants, aliens. Searching for new technologies both for national security and profit. That Volcano Woman? She was one of ours. Same with those freaks the Joker made up like playing cards.
Any of it have to do with Supergirl?
It has to do with all of them. Your little club up in that spaceship? There’s a file on every one of you. But I don’t know anything about these dreams of yours. If it is connected to these people, I’ve been out of the loop too long to know.
And how do we find "these people"?
You don't. They find you.
Sorry, kid. Dead end I guess.
Not necessarily. Need some time to process this. Martian, pick us up.
What? I told you everything I... Supergirl?
Yes. And no. Friends call me Tea. Are you a friend, general?
[General Hardcastle yells]
[Hardcastle lunges for his kryptonite gun but Galatea quickly destroys it with her heat vison]
Guess that's a no.
