From behind the other Betas, Superman flies in, knocking them aside at hypersonic speed. He catches the harpoon inches from Batman's head and stops, as if daring the Betas to stop him. The tendrils pull Batman up, but Superman jumps and rips the tendrils off Batman, grabbing the Caped Crusader's hand in a steel grip before he falls.
Batman: And I thought *I* could make an entrance.
Superman: Where's Kara?
y/n: Captured. Somewhere onboard.
Superman turns away angry, as if wanting to tear the ship apart to find his cousin.
Batman: We'll find her, but we only have 20 minutes before Brainiac's Betas scorch the Earth.
Superman: Why aren't the OTHERS here?
Batman: They're attacking the Betas...just in case we don't pull through.
Superman: We will!
The two greatest superheroes... and y/n climb and fly through the ship until they get deeper into Brainiac's "collection"...and they run into...
y/n: Firestorm! What happened to you?!
Firestorm: Brainiac unified our dueling minds. No longer divided, we think as one.
Superman: He's YOUR walking bomb. How do we get past him?
Firestorm blasts plasma bolts at the three. As Batman and Nightwing leap out of the way, Superman flies to face him. But Firestorm dodges and grabs his ankle. Meanwhile, Batman and Nightwing are subdued by Swamp Thing. The two Brainiac slave toss the three heroes against each other and they crumple to the floor.
Superman: Swamp Thing, too?!
Firestorm: Brainiac has unlocked the Green's power. He has mastered the Firestorm Matrix. All knowledge will be subsumed under his collection.
Superman: I've heard ENOUGH about Brainiac and his "collection". You talked a big game back at my cell. Let's see how you stack up.
Firestorm: Your immense power is finite. The Firestorm Matrix has no limits!
Oh, he couldn't be more wrong. When push comes to shove, Superman could punch a planet into the sun! While Superman DOES have a slight weakness to radiation not from the sun, and while Firestorm IS smart enough to find out the right rays to blast at him, they are no match for Superman's sheer power!
Superman: We just found YOUR limit.
Meanwhile, Batman and Nightwing were keeping Swamp Thing busy. They knock the monster down and re-join Superman. Swamp Thing gets up and swats debris out of his way. Numerous Betas appear behind him and the walk towards the two.
Superman: You have a plan?
Batman: It's a work in progress. I might be able to restore them.
Superman hovers up and fires his heat vision at the Betas, but they raise their hands and block the blasts. Batman and Nightwing run around the Betas and bum-rush Swamp Thing as Superman shuts the heat vision down.
Superman: THAT's new.
Batman leaps over a pod thrown by Swamp Thing and kicks the Green's master in the mush. y/n rolls around and punches him in the face. Swamp Thing swings back but they dodge as Superman joins them again.
Batman: Brainiac's adapting.
Swamp thing: Adaptation is nature's way.
y/n: We've got beef.
