(This scene is a continuation of events from this scene.)

When Brainwave appeared, it was like something out of Beirut, or Iraq.

Or Kahndaq.

He knew the television feed went down, but there were dozens of reports at a "safe distance" away, still scribbling furiously.

And a warehouse was on fire and no one was doing anything about it.

He reached out.  This entire area had Mr. Mind's psychic stench all over it, but it was so pervasive that he wasn't sure if there was current mind control or not, or if Psimon was still in the vicinity.

No doubt, he needed some assistance.  He looks around, and notices a red-hooded figure.   He recognizes her as Omen, the Titans resident telepath.

And she looks...intent.  

Trying to be as subtle as possible, Brainwave attempts to find what exactly is going on.

Her jaw drops, then she winces as she starts to realize just how badly she's hurt. "Uh, sir? What happened?"

"It's Tuesday, so it must be mind control day. The Titans and the JLA were beating the hell out of each other, and you decided to play ping-pong with my shiny robot here. I tried to subdue you, but that didn't work out as well as planned."

"We did what? Oh, kryll." She pushes her hair out of her eyes, adjusting her headwrap. "Um, I'm so--I have money. If you want to send me the repair bill for the robot...."

Ted laughs. "Oh, boy. Sweetie, I don't think you could afford it. I just hope I didn't injure you too badly."

"I'll be--um." She shifts her position. "I think I need x-rays. My wrist hurts."

"Probably sprained. I gave it a pretty good twist. Are you okay to fly, or do you need me to carry you?"

Nightstar gets to her feet, then hovers above the ground. "I can fly." Her eyes are now filling with tears. "I'm so sorry. I didn't mean to. X'hal, we--" Words fail her as she looks around at the destruction, and she bursts into loud sobs.

"It's not your fault, Mar'i. Light's behind this, too - just wait and see."

"Does it matter?" She's still crying. "People were still hurt and we did it."
