Canon
FORT ROZZ

Winn finishes his tour of the DEO to Brainy in the main hub. Brainy calls it incredible which Winn takes as a compliment, before he starts calling the technology slow, and unreliable.

When the ship begins to rock, Imra calls back to the DEO and asks Brainy what’s wrong. He replies that it’s only some turbulence, which Winn repeats. Brainy takes it to mean that he doesn’t know what turbulence is and starts to explain, when Winn interrupts by yelling that he knows what it is.

The DEO loses contact with the ship, and Brainy asks about possible tech that could boost their single, but Winn says they don’t have any that could reach them. Brainy starts to become stressed, and says he needs space to think. Winn tries to suggest an idea but Brainy just yells that he needs space. Mon-El pulls Winn away telling him to leave Brainy alone when he gets like that.

They’re down to 18 minutes. Winn suggests curving the signal around the star, but Brainy rejects the idea. They need to boost the signal instead. He wants to use cold fusion, but Winn shakes his head no and yells that cold fusion hasn’t been invented yet. Brainy becomes frustrated at the outdated technology, as Winn comes up with the idea of using the Voyager probe to bounce their signal off of. J’onn and Mon-El congratulate Winn on his idea as Brainy looks on confused.

The DEO is able to get through. Winn is ecstatic to get through as Brainy calmly ignores him and talks his way through a solution. Winn asks if they found the priestess, which Imra says yes but that Reign is there. Winn tells her to go protect Kara but Brainy needs Imra there to control the ship.

OF TWO MINDS

Winn is infected by Pestilence and taken to the DEO infirmiry, where Brainy is able to give him the Legions cure. He asks Winn to tell him who scratched him, but Winn is way out of it and starts to describe Freddy Kreuger, which Brainy takes seriously before Kara tells him the truth.

SHELTER FROM THE STORM

The Legion is about to leave, and Brainy is lamenting to Winn about his time with him. He tells Winn that he was smarter than he expected. Winn sarcastically thanks him, but Brainy wants to thank him for all his help and hands him a jar filled with dirt. Winn asks if its from space, but Brainy clarifies that its from 31st Century Earth. Winn is amazed, and asks how Brainy new he collected dirt. Brainy explains that he used a calculation and figured it was either dirt or baseball cards. He asks if they should embrace and goes to grab Winn's face, who moves his hands and says they're going to bro-hug. They try and figure it out before settling into a awkward hug.
