Hello everyone! I'm FutureFaith, and this is my very first submission to . This is the very first day I'm able to publish, and I'm really excited! I hope I do it right...I've had boatloads of stories- little snippets that never got finished- taking up folders in my desk and in my computer, and I finally had the chance to create an account. The very first thing I'm going to do after publishing is go around and comment on all my fav stories that I've always enjoyed but never got around to commenting on. I'm open to any kind of critique- critisicm, praise, anything (just don't curse me, please! I'm faint of heart! *swoons*). I'd love feedback so I can make changes before I upload again. Suggestions make writing bloom!
Anyway, I'll stop typing now because I'm sure most people don't read long author notes (I myself am guilty!). Please read and enjoy the first chapter in my new drabble series, Life and Whatever. It's supposed to be about the everyday mishaps of the Legion (not that that sounds very unique...) and I've worked hard to make them funny and interesting. These first few chapters feature two of my favorite characters: Brainiac 5 and Invisible Kid. They're somewhat short...The drabbles will feature a variety of pairings, 'cause I'm open to almost everything!
Well, that's it! I do not own Legion of Superheroes or any of the characters on the show or in the comics. They all belong to whatever comic company owns them (DC comics?) If I did...well, let's just say there would be more seasons. An unending amount of seasons. And they would all feature B5 in some way or another. But I don't. And that is why I am here.
1. Doodads and Gizmos
"Can I try….?"
"NO."
"Why not?"
"Because I said so."
"Why did you say so then?"
"Because it is my lab, my equipment, my…stuff. Don't touch anything or leave."
"You don't want me to leave? Aw…"
"Let me rephrase my wish... demand. If you are to lay a hand on any of these things, rest assured you will be limping very painfully tomorrow, not to mention I won't let you into here ever again."
"Oh…. Alright then."
"Very good."
The Coluan and the invisible boy stood side by side in front of a lab counter, the green one fiddling with a whatcha-macallit and the brunette keeping a safe distance away.
"What's that?" Invisible Kid pointed to a thingamabob. "A reverse-polarity device," Brainiac 5 responded mechanically, never taking his eyes off his invention. "And this?" Lyle pointed to a doohickey. "A mechanism for changing appearances. Not completed. Step away." Querl warned, waving his arm out. "And what's this?" Lyle asked again, gesturing to yet another gizmo sitting on a stretch of what seemed like endless doodads…
"An automatic space-time transmogrifier. Are you done?" Brainy eyed Lyle nervously. "What are you trying to do?"
"Noth-ing!" the Legionnaire chuckled. "Just showing respect for your vast knowledge that would be required to build this amazing display of thingys!"
"Thing-ys?" The green boy inquired, pronouncing it like a foreign word. "What in Vril's name is a 'thingy'?"
"This!" Lyle spectacularly held up one of the inventions, proudly displaying it while cartoon fireworks shot up around him. Brainy looked unimpressed. "I suppose I will never understand your curious human ways…" he said, returning his attention to the device.
"You could just say I'm weird, ya know," Lyle laughed playfully. "Then I'd know what you mean."
"You're weird," Brainy said. Lyle smiled.
