Brainy Gets Twitter Pated
Chp. 1
Carefully he studied her, she was by far the most lovely thing he had ever seen. She, for her part was unaware that she was under such scrutiny, as she was preparing for her turn at the auditions. The girl whom had captured his attention was just a little shorter than him, and she had long brown hair that tumbled down her back in waves. Brainy had never seen such eyes, they were sky blue and then just around the pupils you could see a hint of a hazel in them. She was wearing a baby blue top that swirled down around her knees, she also wore navy blue tights. She had smooth pale skin, and her hair seemed to caress her cheek. He was mesmerized.
"Brainy?" Superman said, raising an eyebrow at his friend. "What?" Brainy said, looking like he was in a daze. "Are you ready?," Superman asked questioningly, concern lacing his features. Brainy, looking like a little kid with his hand caught in the cookie jar, said Oh Yes, Yes we can continue." "Great, groaned Lightning Lad, "Lets get this over with."
"Are you ready, …. Stardust?" asked Saturn Girl in her usual polite manner. Brainy just watched as the girl he had been so focused on, smiled, her entire face and eyes just lighting up the room. As she approached the Judges stand, Brainy swore that his heart was going to hammer straight out of his chest. He was mesmerized, once she was in front of the Judges stand, Bouncing Boy said, " What's your power?" Stardust smiled again but a little shyer this time, and replied, " I am not sure what my power would be called, if it is alright with you guys I think it would be easier to demonstrate". With a nod from everyone, Brainy's being a little more enthusiastic than the others.
Lightning Lad pushed a button under the table activating a band of robots for her to take out, if she could. Stardust tensed eyeing each robot, looking for the easiest way to take them down. Just as the Legion was about step in and remind her of the hundreds that were still waiting outside, she struck. Brainy had one thought going through his head as she twisted in the air, "WOW!" Stardust was good, really good, using her powers, she slashed a hole in three robots at once leaving them sparking, and snapping. As she was focusing her attention on one of the last robots still standing, another came up behind her. The robot took aim and fired straight at her, just as she whirled to face it.
Brainy lunged forward to help her, being held back by Superman and the others, watched as she simply turned into a cloud of light blue shot missed her and took out the wall behind her. Stardust resumed her original form, disappearing in a puff of blue smoke and then reappearing right behind the last robot. She gave a hard direct hit at it's head, knocking it clean off. Her job complete she turned only to raise an eyebrow at the sight before her, Brainiac 5, was staring at her with his jaw dropping almost all the way the floor. Superman was unsuccessfully trying to tug Brainy back into his chair. While Saturn Girl, Bouncing Boy, and Lightning Lad just smiled at her and asked her to step outside and to please ask the next applicant to come in, with a small smile and a nod she stepped back outside to await their decision.

Ladies and Gentlemen, I am happy to announce the newest member of the Legion is…. Stardust! Bouncing Boy said. At her name she slowly floated up to the podium, and turned to receive the Legion belt and ring, smiling at a blushing Brainy who was holding out the black box. Placing the ring on her finger, and the belt around her waist, she held up her hand and said the pledge, "To the Legion Of Superheroes, I make this solemn pledge, to use my powers for good, and to protect the innocent, to aid my fellow legionnaires in times of peril and to keep their secrets safe, I choose a new name to honor the heroes of the past, I am Stardust." " Long live the Legion!" At that she turned to her new teammates. Brainy trying to be polite, reached to shake her hand, and promptly tripped over the podium, knocking them both to the ground with a loud, "Crash!". Brainy was mortified and quickly leaped of the top of her, then extended a hand to help her up. Stardust smiled and accepting the assistance, thought quietly to herself, "I think I'm going to like it here."
