[At the Legion of Doom's base, Lex Luthor is attempting to reactivate the sole piece of Brainiac. Tala enters approaches him as the computer room is overloading] Tala: Lex! Stop it! You'll blow us all to pieces! Lex Luthor: Not now, Woman! Something's happening... It's... [but the stone's energy overloads and destroys the machine, failing to recreated Brainiac] it's... just one more steaming flop! [screams in anger and wrecks the control panels with his hands] Tala: Baby... Lex Luthor: Nothing works! [continues wrecking the tools] Tala: Lex, forget bringing back Brainiac. Lex Luthor: I don't need input from some crystal-gazing parasite! One who's confused a winch's grip on power with the real thing! Tala: [takes the stone] This is the real trouble-maker for us. It's pure wild goose chase. Look, I will prove it. I will show you what is in there. Lex Luthor: Don't be stupid. [takes the stone] This is science. What good is your sorcery? Unless you plan to turn stone into gold? Or maybe a frog? Tala: Such ignorance. Transmutation is what you want to do! Lex Luthor: Transmutation is...[pauses] what are you waiting for? Do it! [hands the stone to her] Tala: Okay! Lex Luthor: Okay! Tala: [performing her Transmutation Sorcery] By the slaughter of the innocent, by pestilence and plague, reveal the hidden unto me. [she uses her powers to view the stone's origins. She finds nothing] There, you see? Just a rock. A worthless piece of... [she sees something from it] oh. Lex Luthor: What? Tala: It's not important. Lex Luthor: Show me! [she uses her magic to give Luthor a vision of the past, when the Brainiac Asteroid was destroyed] Brainiac Computer Voice: Critical system failure in three seconds. Two seconds. One second. [the asteroid explodes. Tala, almost unable to keep up with the image, screams as the vision nearly fades] Lex Luthor: No! Keep the image! [Tala struggles until Luthor sees enough] There is still Brainiac in the universe. Tala: There is no way to tell where it happened. Lex Luthor: Wrong. I saw enough of those stars to determine the explosion's coordinates. It should be a simple matter. Tala: You saw the wild goose again. Concentrate on us, baby. Space is too far. Together, we can rule this world. [Luthor pushes her aside] Oh! Lex Luthor: If you like this world so much, keep your fool mouth shut. Then maybe I'll let you keep it. Me? I'm going to be a god again. [sometime later, the Society members make changes in their headquarters] Speed it up! Sinestro, don't forget the floor. I want radiation shielding from every direction. Rampage... [interrupted when Bizarro has trouble with his work] [annoyed] Help Bizarro. [to Weather Wizard] Don't distort the metal, moron! Weather Wizard: I don't even know why we're doing this. [Luthor pins him next to the hot molten metal in the wall] Lex Luthor: Killer Frost, if Weather Wizard here doesn't shape up, I'm holding you accountable. Killer Frost: Whatever. Lex Luthor: Structural integrity is crucial. Killer Frost: Okay, got it. Jeez.
