Winniac 5

Winniac 5 is the slash ship between Winn and Querl Dox from the Supergirl fandom.

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 Brainy becomes frustrated at the outdated technology, as Winn comes up with the idea of using the Voyager probe to bounce their signal off of.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.
