The test chamber lights up, momentarily as dazzling as the sun, and the unmistakable BZORCH! of heavy-duty comic book science echoes through the room, followed shortly thereafter by the scent of ozone. Val lifts her dark goggles to inspect the holographic readouts filling the air around her as the new data start to scroll across them, numbers and diagrams as thick and incomprehensible as the script in a magical grimoire.

"We are really gonna have to nail down where that stray antimatter is coming from before we scale this up." Far be it from Val to object to blowing up an evil planet--it's a nicely thorough solution, if you ask her--but the entire mass of Apokalips spontaneously converting itself to energy would cause as big a problem as it solved. "Still, even if this winds up being a dead end, it might be worth weaponizing."

If she realizes it's unsettling for a small child to be planning war tactics, it doesn't show.
