Tuesday:
Metron decides to drop by. This guy is so dull and depressing that he makes Brainiac seem like Jim Carrey! Metron usually only turns up, floating in that silly chair of his, to warn us all of universal doom. It's usually something big and powerful like a sun eater munching it's way in our direction, or a crisis on multiple universes, or one of the springs in his chair has come loose.
This means I then have to assemble a team of heroes and villains, we all have to put aside our differences and work together, usually by splitting into teams to save the universe.
But today he is here about Brainiac.
Metron has this really powerful artefact called a Worlogog, which gives the bearer control over time itself. Recently Metron entrusted this power to an android known as Hourman but this didn't work out so he's looking for another candidate.
"And you think Brainiac is your guy?" I ask.
Metron nods, "he is looking for a new hobby."
"And what?" I ask incredulously, "You want to know what I think? Is that it?"
Metron is actually supposed to be the god of reason and intellect, he's supposed to know everything, and he shouldn't need second opinions so why the heck am I being dragged into what sounds like the most stupid idea I've ever heard.
Giving Brainiac power over the time stream? It's like telling Flash to look after your cakes, or the Martian Manhunter not to eat your Oreos, you know you can't trust them.
"I just don't think I can cope with the responsibility anymore!" Metron admits.
"So why don't you give it to me?"
"Because you will use time travel to conquer the universe!"
"Er Yeah, but if you give it to Brainiac he will use time travel to destroy the universe!"
Maxima suggests that he hides it under the bed in an old shoe box, but Metron say's that's where he's keeping it now and then realises he's made a boo-boo!
He rushes off to hide the worlogog someplace else before I get time to assemble a force to go and steal it. I don't really want it anyway, got enough time on my hands as it is!
