City of Honey and Wine

But Green Arrow does not, in fact, reveal where the Green Arrow is!

Because his will does not, in fact, forever dissolve away under the action of the Drone Toxin!

So the Drone Soldiers (now there are seven of them) just STAND THERE, waiting for him to speak!

Starman and the Monkey King are there, ready to fight, but there's no one to fight ...

... except Bizarro-Brainiac, who tackles Starman and tries to grab his copier-gun!

Starman shifts his Cosmic Rod to his left hand, holds the copier-gun out of Brainiac's reach with the right, and KICKS Brainiac right in the breadbasket with his right boot!

Brainiac falls to his knees, gasping.

"Two years of kung fu," gasps Starman. "But boy, am I out of shape ..."

Now, unfortunately, all seven Drone Soldiers turn to face Starman.

"Hey, wait ..." he pants out. "This guy's not on your side."

He indicates Brainiac with his foot.

"Is he?"

The seven Drone Soldiers raise their energy ripper discs.

"Oh, you can't be serious ..." Starman complains.

But then they all snap to rigid attention, their weapons raised over their heads, because the teleporter disc pulses one more time, and the Queen Bee steps lithely forth!

(The print medium has certain advantages, one of which being the lack of necessity of pronouncing "lithely forth" aloud.)

"My world lies in ruinzzzz," she purrs. "I claim yourzzz. Does any male wish to zzzay otherwizzze?"

She may be under the impression that the males here have been Droned into subservience, as indeed they should have been by now. But stuff got complicated.
