Scenes with Brainy Dox 30

I was really worried about you. When you didn't wake up. I still care about you.

I know.

[walks off, then turns back] It's great fighting with you again.

Yeah.

I missed that. [walks back into the infirmary]

[Brainy walks by.]

Hey! It's you. Are you shorter?

Brainy

Are you suggesting that I augmented my height when I entered your consciousness, so that you might see me as a more stable and trustworthy figure and therefore work with me to help you?

... uh, Yeah?

Brainy

Yes. I did do exactly that. [Kara laughs] It's nice to meet you in real life. [walks off]

[Winn is showing Brainy the D.E.O. command center.]

Aaand this is where the magic happens, my friend. From here, we can monitor and communicate with the Legion cruiser any time throughout their entire mission.

Brainy

[looking around] Incredible. You actually rely on this to keep people safe. This is the technology that backs up Supergirl when she goes into battle?

[hesitant] It.. is. Yes.

Brainy

She is so much braver than I ever knew. I've seen espresso machines with more processing power.

[An unfamiliar person walks into the D.E.O. lab.]

[drawing her gun] Hey! Stop right there.

Whoa. Whoa, whoa, whoa. Guys, it's Brainy.

Brainy

Oh, of course. I'm wearing a personal image inducer. [touches his forehead, regains his alien appearance] I had to purchase some apple cider vinegar and I nearly caused a riot at the Piggly Wiggly.

Huh.

Brainy

[resuming his illusory disguise] I thought this would, uh... help me fit in better.

[walking in] Hey, guys. I just got word from City H-- [sees the disguised Brainy] .... Hi, Brainy

Wait, you-you recognize him?

Yeah. What, is that an image inducer? Eh? Ah, so our brains just think we're seeing a human, but nooo. Hey, can I borrow that for Halloween?

We took an oath when we formed the Legion: to preserve all that is good and to never harm the innocent. How is this mission in line with that? We should not kill Pestilence. [off Brainy's look] And you're obviously on Imra's side..

Brainy

It's not about picking sides, Mon-El. If we kill Pestilence when we find her, there is a 98.459 percent chance the Blight will never happen. Millions of people will be saved. Now, if we try to rescue the person inside of her in order to defeat her, that chance is reduced to 52.744 percent.

Some decisions can't be made with a math equation.

Brainy

When I first got here, I assessed you as a first-level intellect.

[deadpan] Thank you.

Brainy

As reference, I'm a twelfth.

Oh, yes. Yes, you've mentioned that.

Brainy

But now that I've gotten to know you, I realize that you're actually, more accurately categorized as a one-point-four-two level intellect.

[deadpan] Wow. Thank-thank you.

You're all clear, kid. Now let's blow this thing and go home.

Brainy

I assume that's some sort of film reference.

We never showed you Star Wars? Not a single Star War?

Brainy

Killing Pestilence saved the future from the Blight. Millions of people were spared. Including my... extremely distant relative. The Evil One. Who has created a plague to wipe out all AIs other than himself. In short, all AIs are in danger, and I can no longer stay there. The future needs heroes. The future needs leaders.

The future has leaders.

Brainy

The future needs you, Mon-El. To fight. And it needs Winn to take my place in the Legion and save the AIs.

We seem to be having a communication problem.

Brainy

Oh no, I assure you I understand every word that comes out of your mouth.

Yes, but you are not comprehending it. Otherwise you wouldn't've spent the last three months acting like a grain of sand in my boot.

Brainy

Oh, I guess that does sound annoying.

Yes. Every time I tell you to do something, you either do too little or too much.

Brainy

Yes, but I felt...

This isn't the Legion. Okay, you don't get to just go rogue whenever you feel like it. So from now on, you don't leave this building, you don't breathe, unless I tell you to. Is that understood?

Brainy

Affirmative.

Good. [leaves]

Brainy

May I breathe now?

Can I ask you, how do you know so much about me?

Brainy

Well, I'm a twelfth level intell–

–He's really smart.

Oh.

Brainy

All you need to know is that what you see isn't necessarily what will be. Hence, the need for exploration and interpretation. But that is why I'm here. So, you have nothing to worry about Nura.

Did you just call me Nura?

Brainy

No. I didn't. Did you [points at Kara] call her Nura? [Kara shakes here head] She didn't.

Brainy

It's going to be alright.

Alright? We've been kidnapped!

Reporting 101: when you get kidnapped, you're on the right track.

That doesn't make any sense.

Tell that to Lois Lane.

Who?

Brainy

It's simple. We bide our time, and then spring into action using our super... kung fu, in which we have many belts in an aggressive rainbow of colors.

So you used your brain compartmentalizing thing with Kara?

Brainy

What does Kara have to do with anything?

Is this permanent or are you going to remember that she's Supergirl soon?

Brainy

Kara? Your sister with the glasses? [starts chuckling] Good one, director. They don't even look anything - Oh! Yes, my compartmentalization was on a timer.

Hey, Brainy.

Brainy

Greetings, J'onn.

I came to see how Alex was feeling. Have you seen her?

Brainy

I have not. But I have located our dealers' van.

[approaching] Brainy, that's great.

Brainy

I have also located Director Danvers. A day of many victories.

Brainy.

Brainy

It is I. And I'd like to make myself clear, since I did not last time. I am not here for a date.

Happy Valentine's Day to you, too.

Brainy

I sense sarcasm, which I find confusing in this context. You see, I am here because Kara told me about your mother's passing, which I was very sorry to hear. But having run simulations, I've deduced that there's an 87.4% chance that you would now wish to train as a superhero. And I have brought my most complex mind mazes to help you hone your skills and interpret your dreams.

Brainy, I know it's my destiny to have these powers. But I'm still grieving, Brainy. My mother passed away so suddenly.

Brainy

Have you ever considered putting your grief into tiny boxes?

That doesn't sound very healthy.

It's like the creature extracted his heart perfectly. There's minimal tissue damage. There's no blood loss. It's like it cauterized itself.

Brainy

A sophisticated killing. Much like its ship, which presented as solid rock. Also, what's interesting is this creature's shed skin suggests that it underwent some sort of metamorphosis quickly after arrival, which I do find comforting. I would much rather face that anything snake-like, which I do have a deep phobia about. As any rational being would.

You hate snakes?

Brainy

Yes. Much like the hero of the Spielberg epic Raiders of the Lost Ark. A terrific picture.
