Sorry but after watching Dark Victory part two and Brainy becoming Human I just had to do this anyways its better than the old first chapter. I love how Violet is starting to fall for Brainy as a human. Stay tune,

-Lady protecta out!

Somewhere in the Galaxy

"What! That little rebel child has escaped again? How dare you let her loose!" an evil figure in the shadow roared as his fist pummeled his throne. The alien tyrant stood up and gazed out the window to see a miniature ship in the distance heading the opposite way at hyper speed.

"I will get you both, whether you and your brother like it or not," he grumbled as he returned to his seat.

Outside, the ship blasted its way through the cosmos at top speed. "Come in! This is Cruiser Starlit 2.3. We are traveling at an uncontrollable speed! Please Help! We are entering Earth's orbit rapidly! Please help us!" the pilot's voice pleaded. It sounded like a child's voice.

The Starlit fell into Earth's atmosphere and crashed into a forest near New Metropolis. The ship sparked and burst into flames. A shadowy figure emerged from the smoke. It was of a small little girl. The girl's eyes scanned the new area. She felt frightened and lost. Suddenly she heard voices coming toward her. The child gasped as she saw figures coming near her. And with this, she darted away, but no before ripping a small piece of her skirt that was left hanging on a small branch of a bush.

Shrinking Violet flew down the corridors after re-wiring the Legion Headquarters' system. She wore a satisfied grin on her face. She loved to re-wire corrupted computers, out of control ships, and rouge robots. It was better than just sitting around doing nothing. Yet the thought of robots made her grin into a sad smile.

Vi thought of her closest friend, Brainiac5 who once was a robot who like child fairy tale, Pinocchio, longed to be a real boy. He wasn't much of an outgoing person and mostly talked with only two people: Superman and her. Ever since Brainy had become a human, he had left the Legion and she was name the smart person, though she had never accepted the title. That was two months ago. Vi missed that smart cookie more than anything. She was starting to forget how he looked as a human. She took out the picture of him teasing her when she got oil smeared over her pale face. When he left, it felt to her that someone so close to a brother was gone.

Violet was thinking about Brainy so much that she wasn't looking where she was going. She jolted out of her mind and saw a figure coming her way. "LOOK OUT!" she screamed, struggling to stop before she hit the person. But she crashed right into him and they both fell to the floor, the person's belongings scattered everywhere.

"S-sorry. God I'm such a klutz. I didn't look where I was going," she mumbled as she sat up, rubbing her head, "Are you ok?"

"Yeah I'm fine, Vi," the boy said. Violet 's heart stopped. No way it, couldn't be…

Vi opened her eyes and stared into two jade green colored eyes. An image of her robot friend flashed in her mind but faded and once again becoming the two green eyes she saw in front of her. Oh my gosh, it can't be him, her mind whispered.

"Hey Vi," the green skinned boy said quietly looking away now.

"Brainy!" Violet cried as she wrapped her arms around his neck, nearly knocking him over again. She buried her head into his left shoulder, muffling her sobs while holding him tightly. He felt so warm like sunlight instead of cold like metal. She felt his arms wrap around her waist as he leaned his head against hers. They were in that state for at least a few minutes till Violet whispered, "I missed you."

Brainy pulled her away at that moment and stared into her eyes. "You're not mad at me?" he asked, his eyes filled with shame.

"Mad at you? For what?"

"For well you know, hitting you against the wall, betraying the legion, killing Superman almost twice, falling under my ancestor's control."

"Brainy," Vi sniffed as she wiped her tears away, " I forgive you, for everything. You're my best friend who got his wish to be human and well I haven't seen you since well…forever."

"I was only gone for three years, nitwit," he laughed. Violet's heart skipped a beat. It was the first time she had ever seen or hear him laugh in nearly two years since she stayed with the Legion of Superheroes. She felt her ears turn pink. To make matters worse for her, she was the cause of his things to spill out of his bags.

"Oh gosh, s-sorry again for crashing into you," she stuttered. She didn't understand why she was acting like this. It was just Brainy…who was now human, a very handsome one. The two began to gather up what fell from Brainy's bags. Vi noticed the last object, the boy's own flight ring. She reached for it to give it to him but when she did, his hand touched hers. She looked up in surprise and saw the exact look on his face. They stared at each other for a moment then burst out laughing. Vi took Brainy's hand and slipped the ring on it and said, "Welcome back."

They talked as they walked down the halls to Brainy's lab, which Brainy had left it in Violet's care in his absence. Vi gave all the info about the crimes that had happened and in return got back a story of Brainy's life out of the Legion. It seemed like old times when they would just talk about non-sense and just make a joke about it. Only now Brainy was a lot more emotional.

Suddenly a crash was heard from the basement. The two young heroes looked at each other and dashed to the basement. Vi turned on her flight ring's light and stepped down the creaky steps with Brainiac5.1 following behind. On the floor, was millions of pieces of shattered glass.

"Someone was here," Brainy murmured.

"Could have been a rat," Vi said, "a very …big rat."

She elbowed Brainy when something had caught her eye. Out of the blue, a shadow darted in between two shelves.

"Hey! Hold it right there!" she yelled as she shrunk to the size of a pen and flew after the figure. Brainy ran after her, stumbling over boxes. The dark figure was quick but soon it was cornered. Vi beamed the light at it and gasped in horror. Sitting in the corner, practically scared out of her wits, was a little girl with long brown hair who held a white cylinder capsule close to her. Her reddish purple eyes widened with fear with tears streaming down her cheeks. Brainy came up behind her.

"What is…" he stopped in mid-sentence as he gazed at the terrified child before them.

"Hey are you ok?" Violet asked the child. The girl shook her head, her expression went from scared to defensive as she held the capsule more close to her.

"What's your name?"

"Why should you know?" the girl snapped. At least they knew she could speak.

"Look we won't hurt you, we're part of the Legion of Superheroes, we're here to help others like you. I'm Shrinking Violet call me Vi. And this is Brainiac5.1 just call him Brainy," Violet said gently. Brainy gave a smile.

The girl slowly relaxed and nodded to signal that she gave them some of her trust. She stood up and followed the two out the door. As the walked down the hall to the bridge, the girl looked left and right as if the fear would leap at her from anywhere. Brainy looked nearly as scared as she was. For all the things he did to the Legion, would they forgive him? Violet had already forgiven him but she was just one Legion member, now he had to face the others. Vi noticed them. She stopped and turned to look at them.

"Hey now, look. I know that you both are nervous on seeing the Legion but really don't go nuts over it," she joked.

Brainy smiled at her comment but the girl didn't. She never knew these people and she didn't trust them yet.

The three of them came to the door to the bridge. The girl cocked her head in curiosity at the door. Brainy on the other hand looked like he was about to be sick.

"You can wait out here if you want to, kid," Vi said to the girl. The girl nodded in response. The teenaged shrinking girl then turned to Brainy with mischief sparkling in her eyes.

"You on the other hand are coming with me, whether you like it or not," she grinned, grabbing his arm, pulling him with her, leaving their guest sitting outside with that curious look on her face. Brainy began to protest but Vi ignored him.

They stepped inside where Lightning lad, Chameleon boy , Phantom girl, Triplicate girl, and her 8 year old cousin Timothy were working.

"Well would you look what the purple eyed cat brought in," Lightning lad said with a grin. Vi made a face at that name.

"Brainy! You're back!" Triplicate girl yelled as she split into three and hugged him.

"Nice to see the boy genius back from his trip, the girl genius almost couldn't handle it without you," Cham said.

"Girl genius?" Brainy said, smiling at Vi. Violet blushed and looked out the far window. She knew that her work there was done. Most of the Legion had missed the Coluan.

Timothy turned his attention to the door and opened it to see the girl staring at her capsule. "Whats that?" he asked. The girl didn't respond.

"We found her in the basement," Brainy said, taking the girl's hand and leading her in.

" Aw she's absolutely adorable, does she have a name?" Phantom girl asked kneeling to the girl's height.

"She won't say," Vi answered. Timothy jumped in front of the girl and looked at her with his blue eyes. He screamed, "Hi! Can you talk, person!" The girl's eyes widened in fear as she slowly stepped behind Brainy.

"Timmy, be respectful, she's shy," the white triplicate scolded.

"But Tri, she can't talk, does she even know where she is? Is she deaf or something?"

And at that insult, the girl yanked her hand out of Brainy's and sped out the door, tears streaming down her face. She gave a little skip and roller blades appeared under her boots.

"Now look what you did," the orange triplicate groaned, " You hurt her feelings."

Her cousin looked down at his shoes. Violet started after her but Brainy held her back by the arm. "Just leave her alone, I'm sure she'll come out," he gently said to her. Violet pushed back a dangling part of her bangs and nodded, struggling to smile.

Five days had pasted, and the girl never came out. With each passing day, Violet became more and more worried that she even began to lose sleep. Every time she went to check the monitor for the green house, she would just see the girl either reading or staring at the capsule.

Finally unable to watch her crumble, Brainy approached her. "You ok?" he asked. Vi stared at him, struggling to smile. "I-I'm fine, its just that, her eyes keep haunting me. The way she had distrusted us including me…"

"Its not your fault, Vi. She's just well...how should I put it?"

"Scared…Brainy… that girl is scared. Someone or something had caused her to make an emergency landing on Earth. I still remember seeing her all curled up in the corner, hugging that capsule, guarding it with her life."

"Maybe we can get her to come out and give us some answers. But we won't force her."

Violet nodded in agreement. And she knew how to get her to come out and speak with them.

The two young heroes approached the greenhouse. Brainy had over-ride the lock and followed his friend inside who was carrying a tray of food for their odd guest. The greenhouse felt like a jungle. Plants from planets the legion had defended. Brainy had kept them and research them whenever he got bored or when they could help cure someone. But for now it was used as a sanctuary for the girl.

"I hope she hasn't left," Violet said in a loud whisper as she set the tray down, far from them.

"She hasn't. There is no disturbance or damage on the glass windows. I think she is struggling to trust us," Brainy answered.

"I hope you're right. She came a long way."

"And I bet you she's really hungry."

Brainy was right. Underneath a large mushroom were two curious reddish purple eyes looking hungrily at the tray of steaming food. The little girl crept out to get a better look. She glared at Brainy. Suddenly she pounced at the tray. The child snatched the glass filled with iced water and the warm sandwich. She scampered up a tall tree like a frightened kitten and sat up in one of the highest branches, hastily munching her sandwich.

The girl looked at them and turned away. She obviously didn't want any company. But…

"Whatda you want? You two won't leave me alone," she said, turning her head.

"Um we only want to talk to you, kid," Vi said bellow. Finishing her sandwich, the girl stood up and gave a leap and fell into a bush bellow. She came out covered in leaves.

"Well what do you two want to talk about?" she demanded.

"I guess to start off , your name," Brainy said.

"The name's Anita Yang Connel, call me Skittles. I hate Anita or Annie. Bleh."

"How old are you and what is your home planet, uh Skittles?" Violet asked.

"I'm 10 ½ and I'm from Keondes but I grew up half of my life on that man made planet , Reun."

Brainy and Vi looked at each other. Keondes was a magical planet populated with magic bearing mercenaries. The planet was not part of the United planets due to stubborn court stating that they were strong with their guardian, their protector of the planet. They were strict with rules and were uncomfortable with their people intermingling with those of the United Planets. But why in the world would a Keonden child be on Earth?

"You two are wondering what's with the capsule I'm carrying, huh?"

They turned to see Skittles holding the tube and staring at them.

"Its my twin brother, Andrew Yin Connel also known as Drew. He's an atom now, Mom and Dad had to shrinking him so the bad guys won't get him, everyone seems to be after us." Skittles looked down, pitifully.

"Um, Skittles, who are the bad guys," Vi asked.

"The scavengers, the dark circle, the Legion of super Villains, Mostly every baddie ever exisited and those who are yet to be discovered."

The heroes looked each other again. This was serious, whatever these twins had; they were endanger wherever they went. They needed to be protected.
