-->'''Brainiac!Chloe''': You're not Davis Bloome. You're not even human. Don't tell me the thought never crossed your mind. You were hatched by Kryptonian geneticists. Your DNA was designed to adapt to any world you inhabit. Now you no longer need your camouflage abilities. Those painful transformations you've been experiencing? They're the beginning of your metamorphosis.
-->'''Davis''': This is insane.
-->'''Brainiac!Chloe''': No. It's sad, from a human perspective--your naive romantic attraction to the human I chose to inhabit.
-->'''Davis''': Chloe, if you're in there anywhere, you know that the feelings that I have for you are real.
-->'''Brainiac!Chloe''': Feelings? That was just a program I was running to get you to me. Your journey's just beginning. Now it's time for you to incubate in your Kryptonian chrysalis. Once you emerge, there will be no more pain, no doubt. Only [[UnstoppableRage absolute rage]] and [[PersonOfMassDestruction unparalleled power]].
-->'''Davis''': Stay the hell away.
-->'''Brainiac!Chloe''': But you play a vital part in my directive. Once I get everything I need, you will eradicate the other Kryptonian and then the rest of the planet.
-->'''Davis''': I am not going to hurt anyone.
-->'''Brainiac!Chloe''': You have no free will. And you're destined to become what you really are--Doomsday.
