- Supergirl: [Watching a recording of Supergirl] Tell Ma and Pa I love them. And, I love you too, Clark. Don't take this the wrong way, but I've found a place where I can make a difference. Where I'm more than Superman's kid cousin. I... I feel I belong here. Also, I met this boy.
- Green Arrow: You should had seen her. She was amazing.
- Green Lantern: She's a grown woman now, capable of choosing...
- Superman: Kara's headstrong, but she's always made good decisions. I trust her judgement. But you were right, Ollie. I wish I had told her.
- Green Arrow: It's okay, Clark. She knows.
- Superman: Now, this boy Kara likes so much, does he have a name?
- [John and Ollie go silent. Both too scared to tell Clark that Kara's fallen in love with a Brainiac]
- Green Arrow: Some kid, huh? Today's her 21st birthday, but she'd rather be here practicing than go out into town with me and Dinah.
- Superman: Good for her.
- Green Arrow: Hey, at least we want to spend some time with her. You ever think about how she must feel? She's always an outsider.
- Superman: I know a little bit about that myself, Ollie.
- Green Arrow: 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. Se's gotta feel like she's trapped in the Stone Age.
- Superman: I've tried to make her feel at home.
- Green Arrow: How? Seems to me like you treat her just like another cape.
- Superman: 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".
- Green Arrow: This may shock you, but she's proud to be your cousin. She even changed her costume to look more like yours.
- Superman: Yes... I'm very proud. But don't tell her.
- Green Arrow: No, that's a job for Superman.
- Green Arrow: Admit it, genius, you're in love with her.
- Brainiac 5: Ludicrous, we've just met. Moreover, as a Coluan, I'm ruled by intellect, not emotion.
- Green Arrow: So in love with her.
- Brainiac 5: Increased sweat gland production, shortness of breath, inability to concentrate, I thought it was guilt... but I am in love. How did you know?
- Green Arrow: Just call me Cupid, junior. I never miss.
- Bouncing Boy: It's a real thrill for me to meet you, sir. You're the famous John Stewart, father of...
- Green Lantern: You wanna shut up before you create a time paradox?
- Supergirl: Back on Argo we used psionic technology for our remote controls. When you lost one, you just had to think at it and it beeped. Don't know why we bothered. They were always in the couch cushions.
- [Supergirl, Green Lantern and Green Arrow have just arrived in the future]
- Brainiac 5: [greeting them] I'm certain that this must be disorienting for you. My name is...
- Supergirl: [viciously] Brainiac!
- Brainiac 5: Yes, how did you...? Uh oh.
- [Brainiac 5 shields himself as Supergirl attacks him]
- Brainiac 5: 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. I am 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.
- Green Lantern: And you demonstrated that by kidnapping us.
- Supergirl: [to Green Lantern after she asked for a harder challenge and he had Green Arrow two who blasted her] I hate you.
- Green Arrow: [Brainiac crashes the Legion cruiser into the Fatal Five's mothership] I love the direct approach.
- Brainiac 5: The rest of the mission won't be so easy. Let's move.
- Supergirl: Aren't you gonna give me notes on all the things I screwed up?
- Green Lantern: No notes, Kara. There's nothing more I can teach you.
- Brainiac 5: What do you pilot back home?
- Supergirl: Usually just a pick-up.
- Brainiac 5: A pick-up, is that a type of star cruiser?
- Green Arrow: Yes. Yes, it is.
- Supergirl: Just because he's seriously cute doesn't mean we should trust a Brainiac.
- Green Arrow: I'm not getting a bad vibe off the kid.
- Green Lantern: And apparently, neither are you. Seriously cute, huh?
- Brainiac 5: That was unnecessary. My belt protects me from any impact.
- Supergirl: Maybe I was just trying to cop a feel.
- Emerald Empress: A Green Lantern. That's a rare sight in this galaxy these days.
- The Persuader: Take a good look. He won't be here long.
- Bouncing Boy: This stinks, Brainy. I hate running from a fight.
- Brainiac 5: They'll never think to look for us here. That gives us a chance to mount a counterattack.
- Bouncing Boy: Attack how? There's only the two of us left.
- Green Arrow: [aware that Kara and Brainiac are attracted to each other] 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.
- Supergirl: [fighting Emerald Empress and the Persuader] So, what's your power? Super-strength? Speed?
- Brainiac 5: I have a 12th-level intellect.
- Supergirl: [sarcastic] Great, you can knock 'em out with your diploma.
- Supergirl: Why did you bring us here?
- Brainiac 5: We're part of a group called the Legion of Super-Heroes.
- Bouncing Boy: A galaxy-spanning force not unlike your Justice League.
- Brainiac 5: A team of criminals called the Fatal Five attacked our new headquarters, captured all our teammates.
- Bouncing Boy: They must have something big planned to risk taking on the Legion. But we can't figure what it is.
- Brainiac 5: We needed help, so we sent the time bubble to bring back some of Earth's greatest heroes.
- Supergirl: But why us?
- Brainiac 5: It... it was random. We'd have taken anyone.
- Supergirl: You guys get aboard that mothership and shut down the control devices.
- Green Arrow: What are you gonna do?
- Supergirl: Hold off John and the Legion until you snap them back to normal.
- Brainiac 5: You won't stand a chance against them.
- Supergirl: Maybe, but I'm the only one who does stand a chance of protecting the capital.
- Phantom Girl: We wanted to say thanks by making you honorary Legionnaires.
- Green Lantern: It's very nice, but I already have a ring.
- Bouncing Boy: Don't worry about it, GL. You can't keep it, anyway. If you took it home, the future technology could pollute the time stream.
- Supergirl: I'm keeping mine. I'm not going back.
- Green Lantern: Kara?
- Supergirl: History says Supergirl never returned from this mission, because she decided to stay in the future.
- Supergirl: So, I have to know, why'd you save me first?
- Brainiac 5: My decision was based on pure logic.
- Green Arrow: Really? 'Cause Green Lantern's the most powerful.
- Brainiac 5: No offense, but I really don't think you could follow the reasoning of a 12th-level intellect such as my own.
- Green Arrow: Guess not.
- Steel: Whatever abducted them didn't leave any traceable energy signature.
- Superman: Maybe Dr. Fate or Zatanna?
- [the Legion time bubble appears, returning Green Arrow and Green Lantern]
- Superman: Where's Kara?
- Green Lantern: [giving him a futuristic box] She asked us to give you this.
- Brainiac 5: Kara, I don't even know you, but... history says you never returned from this battle.
- Supergirl: What?
- Green Arrow: And you knew that all along?
- Brainiac 5: I'm sorry. I had hoped it wouldn't come to this. I wanted to spare her.
- Supergirl: There's still a planet full of people down there who need our help. Do your job and I'm going to do mine.
- Brainiac 5: But...
- Supergirl: [kissing him] In case I don't see you again.
- Green Arrow: [watching her depart] Hey, genius?
- [waving his hand in front of Brainiac's face to get his attention]
- Green Arrow: Hi. How about putting that big brain of yours to work on a plan to get us aboard the mothership?
- Brainiac 5: [going to the flight controls] I'll get us in.
- Green Arrow: Where are we, anyway?
- Brainiac 5: Approximately 1,000 years into your future, in what you'd call the 31st century.
- Green Lantern: [sarcastic] Time travel. Swell.
- Supergirl: So, Queen Bee and Doctor Cyber? Not much of a workout.
- Green Lantern: Hear that, Ollie? Kara thinks it's too easy.
- Green Arrow: Well, we wouldn't want her to get bored.
- Supergirl: What's that?
- Brainiac 5: A Legion flight ring. All of us have one.
- Supergirl: [taking and inspecting it] So does this mean we're going steady?
- Brainiac 5: [not sure what to say] Uh...
- Supergirl: Trust me, 1,000 years ago, that joke was hilarious.
- Brainiac 5: 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.
- Bouncing Boy: But messing with history? That's risky, even for us.
- Brainiac 5: 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.
- Bouncing Boy: I did my homework, too, Brainy. The histories say three heroes came to the future.
- Brainiac 5: But only two of them ever made it home.
- Tharok: You had the superior weapons and the advantage of surprise. Explain to me how you failed to capture Brainiac 5.
- Emerald Empress: Watch your tone, half-a-man. I'd hardly call capturing a Green Lantern a failure. He's more powerful than a dozen Brainiacs.
- Tharok: Perhaps, but that was never part of the plan.
- Emerald Empress: 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.
- Bouncing Boy: 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.
- Brainiac 5: No. Telling her could change history. Keep quiet, Chuck. That's an order.
- Bouncing Boy: You know, Brainiac, being organic and having a heart? Not the same thing.
