Brainy's waking up. Sooner than Mia, due to how quickly his brain can reboot, and for a moment, his stare at her is ugly, and he slams her back to the floor with his shields, covering her mouth and nose so she can't breathe, as he gets out the lead box.

His expression is wild, furious, like some tortured animal breaking free from its cage. "You think you can stop me! You think you can control me! I'll break you, Coluan! I'll show you who controls who! She's a pretty little thing, isn't she? I'll have you turn her into a pretty little corpse and dissect her to study her anatomy to further the knowledge of the Yeerk empire--"

But he twitches, the box stays closed and his hand trembles as he fights for control of it, and the shields around her mouth disappear, though she's still pinned so she doesn't get scared and clock him, and Brainy grinds out, "Yes. I can control you, parasite."

He takes a deep breath, and then his voice is impeccably calm.

"You simply woke first. Don't assume that means you have actual control. Nothing has changed."

Terry and Robin are fighting, they're surrounded by the injured, and...and it appears Blue Beetle is dead. Yes, his scan confirms it. His eyes narrow.

"Kara, can you fly?"
