Brainstorm: "Swerve? Tell me you didn't press it." Swerve: "Course I didn't press it... but what if I HAD pressed it?" Brainstorm: "You'd have activated an abstract weapon - a meta-bomb." Swerve: "A what what?" Brainstorm: "A metafictional bomb. It blows a whole in the fourth wall." Swerve: "Me no understand." Brainstorm: "Basically, it makes the enemy think they're characters in someone else's narrative. Robbed of agency, they lose the will to fight. I'm still working on it." Swerve: "Guess what? I pressed it. Nothing happened." Rewind: "I didn't see you press it..." Swerve: "Yeah, it must've happened off-panel." Rewind: "What does that mean?" Swerve: "I have NO IDEA."
