The Right Side of Wrong

Breaking Braniac

Veronica's POV:

Harley tries walking through the electric prison bars while I try using my powers to break through them, but my powers ricochet back toward me as the bars electrocute Harley.

Me: "Duck!"

We do so as Ivy helps Harley back onto her feet before Harley does the same for me/

Ivy: "Ok. Well, that's not gonna work."

Harley: "Whoever's place this is, it could use a little TLC."

Ivy: "I know, it's like, hang a poster or something. Get a plant. I'm just saying."

Ivy, Harley, & I cover our ears as a loud voice echoes throughout the room.

Brainiac: *via intercom* "I am the knowledge of infinity. I am the collector of worlds. I have--"

Ivy: "Way too goddamn loud, buddy."

Harley: "Jesus Christ!"

Me: "Hey, great & powerful Oz, mind telling us what the fuck is going on?"

Harley: "Show your face!"

Ivy: "Yeah, I feel like I'm talking to the banker on 'Deal or No Deal'."

Harley: "Ooh, is that show still on?"

Me: "No, no, no. 'Cause remember, Joker blew up Howie Mandel?"

Harley: "Ah, right, right, right, right. That sucks. Great host. I always thought he'd be good on 'The Voice'."

Ivy: "'The Voice'? Honey, why would Howie Mandel be on 'The Voice'? 'Last Comic Standing', maybe. But not--"

Harley: "No, he's so good! Oh, he's so entertaining!"

Me: "And he's a germaphobe, I like that."

Brainiac: *via intercom* "Very astute, Koko."

Harley: "Who the fuck is Koko?"

Brainiac: *via intercom* "How can she...? Ugh, I have left the intercom on."

Ivy: "It's still on, dickwad."

Brainiac: *via intercom* "Enough!"

Ivy collapses, and Harley and I are teleported to another room. We see a green alien-like man with wires connected to his head standing before us.

Harley: *screams* "What did you do to Ivy, you son of a--"

Harley charges toward him, but he holds us back with a forcefield.

Harley: *sniffs* "Ugh! This place is nasty."

Brainiac: "Do not refer to my domain with such a pejorative term. If you insult it, you insult me."

Harley: "I'm just saying, you could stand to crack a window or something."

Brainiac: "Preposterous. The atmosphere would cause my exterior to rapidly deteriorate."

Brainiac turns to the pile of monkey bones resting against his throne.

Brainiac: *chuckles* "Very humorous, Koko."

Harley: "Aw, shit. Is Koko that pile of dead monkey bones?"

Me: "Buddy, what is going on here?"
