Stranded on Earth-Prime
When Barney was a buying something at a smoothie cart he met a look-alike who he believed was trying to impersonate him. Barney made a "Citizen Arrest" at the same time as the look-alike and brought him/was brought to the D.E.O.. Director Danvers was confused since he can't recognize her Brainiac but the situation escalated to the point where they were multiple Brainiac 5 inside the D.E.O. and one of them died stating to not "let him open the bottle". He along with the other Brainiacs discovered that the dead Brainiac was killed by an anti-life equation and that his Earth was destroyed. When the Emo Brainiac 5 sufered from the anti-life equation symptom, Barney saved his life when he noticed that his Earth-Prime doppelgänger didn't know what to do.
