"Less advanced?" Oh no you din't. "Less. Advanced?"

Brainy and Kon are still pinned to the floor for a moment, but after that, Stacy finally releases them. Brainy gets up, dusting himself off and still glaring at the Brainiac robot suspiciously.

Superman does have a point though. The original Brainiac had no sense of aesthetics and likely wouldn't make his probes in tiny, adorable robot form. Not that Brainy though his counterpart was adorable, but outside the bigger robot mode, he certainly was nonthreatening. (Honestly, squeeing? Was that necessary?)

"Stacy, identify the robot."

Yes, he's calling it "the robot." He's still...just a little, tiny bit robo-racist, especially in the face of a 'bot that's his doppleganger. It's a little freaky.

||Brainiac 5, that is your podmate: Brainiac 5.||

"He's my dimensional counterpart from another universe?"

||That is correct.||

"Ah."

He does not look pleased with this, though he does rub his chin and ponder.

"Stacy, like always, some warning would not have been remiss, give my ancestor's proclivities towards making robot probes."

||I assumed you would attempt to communicate before engaging in violence.||

Burn.
