"Brainiac five, you are under arrest for crimes against the United Planets." The robot voice made Brainy go stiff with fear and he turned around slowly.
"I'm sorry," He spoke slowly, being sure to make his voice sound different than usual. "But you have the wrong person, I am no brainiac!"
The robots used by the science police were extremely advanced, but not exactly intelligent so it did not exactly know what to make of this situation. It's target was not running away or trying to shoot at it, the robot did not have a protocol for this situation. Finally, it simply said, "Scanning." The light from its sensor ran up and down Brainy a few times before it spoke again. "Subject: Brainiac five, Coluan, twelve level intelligence. You are not Brainiac five."
"No." Brainy breathed a sigh of relief. He had designed these robots himself, they scanned brain patterns in order to find their targets since every person and alien had a unique brain pattern, it worked perfectly. Because if that, he had worried that the robots would be able to find him because of his twelfth level intelligence which shone like a beacon to these things. Thankfully, having his chemistry altered to that of a human had altered his brain pattern just enough to confuse the robot. "Thank you sir," He nodded, starting to back away. "I will just be going now."
"Have a nice day," It droned, turning and flying away.
Sighing again, Brainy stuck his hands into his pockets, walking away quickly. The hood on his sweatshirt was pulled as far up as it would go over his face and he slouched as he walked, making sure not to look anyone in the eye. Fooling the robots was one thing, but if any intelligent creature saw the Brainiac mark on his forehead, that would be it for him. Hatred against Coluans was at an all time high amidst the United Planets, and it was all his fault.
In their defense, he thought to himself sadly. I did digitize have the known universe, I'm lucky someone hasn't killed me yet, or worse, gotten locked up on the prison planet! Even though, that's what I deserve after what I did.
It's not your fault, Brainy. An unexpected voice sounded in his head and he startled.
Saturn Girl?! What are you doing? Get out of my head!
I'm sorry, I wouldn't have called to you, but we need you Brainy. Please, come back to us. Come back to the Legion.
You know I can't... How did you find me anyhow?
We've been... Watching out for you, just to make sure nothing would harm you.
It was extremely hard to lie convincingly over thoughts and Brainy scowled, knowing what she meant. You mean to make sure I didn't try to take over the galaxy again.
Brainy...
No, don't try to apologize. I completely understand, it is the logical course of action after what I've done. I'm just glad you haven't turned me over to the Science Police yet.
I wouldn't do that! You're I'm friend!
Why not? It is the more logical choice. And by the way you say 'I wouldn't do that' I take it that some of the Legion does want you to locate me and turn me over. Since you haven't, I'm guessing you haven't told anyone that you have been able to contact me? Her silence spoke louder than words and Brainy nodded to himself. Would you tell me who asked you to do this?
Brainy, I...
Saturn Girl, who?
Cosmic Boy.
Of course he did. I've got to go Saturn Girl, take care of yourself. Tell Bouncy Boy, Chamelian Boy, and... and Violet, tell them I miss them.
I will. Oh, and Brainy?
Yes?
At that moment, Brainy ran smack into someone, having not been paying attention to his surroundings because of his conversation with Saturn Girl. Falling backwards, landing painfully on the hard cement, he looked up as his hood fell off his head. Gaping up at the squadrons of Science Police surrounding him, his mouth fell open, his green skin turning nearly three shades paler in fear.
"Brainiac Five," A voice boomed from the loudspeaker gripped in the Captain's hand. The Captain had always hated Brainy since even before he had gone rogue and he was now standing on one of the hovercrafts, looking down at the defenseless teenager with a mixture of disgust and satisfaction on his face. "For crimes against the United Planets." He boomed, "You are under arrest!"
Brainy quivered, absolutely terrified. There was no way he could bluff his way out of this one. Inside his head, he heard Saturn Girl's voice once more, and what she said broke the last string of strength he had been clinging to while on the run.
She said, I'm sorry.
HIIII! Okay, so I am absolutely in love of Legion of Superheroes! Which may be really dumb since I'm in college, lol, but I really don't care. It's memories for me, besides, I would rather watch cartoons that all that stupid crap they put on TV for people my age :P Don't judge, I may be immature, but at least I have brain. LOL! I'm kidding actually, I'm as blond as they come ;)
K so, Brainiac 5 is my most favorite superhero besides The Flash, Shining Knight, and Hawkgirl so I really wanted to write this for him! I love how cocky he is and how he thinks he can't do anything wrong then ends up doing something really stupid... haha, so, YEAH! Okay, so if you like it, I will continue. Plz review. And I am super, suuuuuuuuupper sorry if I do not update regularly. But like I said, I am in college, so writing this is NOT at the top of my priority list. However, I will try to write when I can. Thats all for now! ^_^
