(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.

Superman sighs. "No, you're not under arrest. Don't make me use my superior Kung Fu skills against you again. Now look at me...no, AT ME."

The blue eyes open to peer at Superman, her lower lip trembling. She is thoroughly ashamed, thoroughly guild-ridden. But she looks at him because he's Superman, and she doesn't question the man. Ever.

"You were mind-controlled. It wasn't you and it wasn't me. It was Psimon. Do NOT let his actions make you feel guilt. I am SO DAMN TIRED of Light and his goons pushing our buttons.

"Don't let him. You're the product of two of the finest patriots this country has ever known. You're the fastest woman alive. Do not let a telepathic worm bring you down. That's an order."

Eyes wider as tears spill out, Jesse regards Superman with admiration and unabashed adoration as he speaks to something very near and dear to her heart. "'Kay," she allows finally. "Can I get a hand up, sir?"

"Always." The Man of Steel takes her hand and lifts her to her feet. "Unless you tell me you're unhurt right now, you're getting teleported to the Watchtower. I need to stay - what happened got broadcast over international news and someone needs to say something to them." He frowns. "This was a set-up from the word go."

"I'm...."

Dizzy, apparently, from the way she sways. A hand on Superman's chest to steady herself, she adds with a thin smile, "I'll tell someone like me to get checked out just in case, sir. Can..we discuss this more later?"
