"Why?! Why?!"
Shrinking Violet ran towards Brainy. Crystal tears were forming in her lavender eyes and she felt her heart being ripped open.
"Why, Brainy? Don't you love me? Don't you care anymore?"
"Vi, don't say that. Of course I love you..I know you don't want me to go, its just that.."
"Just what?!" She continued to sob uncontrollably. Brainy held her in his arms and savored that last moment..tears forming in his humanoid eyes..emotions that beacme out of control......
"It's just that...I can't hurt anybody anymore...I can't hurt you anymore..." He wiped the tears from his eyes and held her close.
"Will you promise me one thing, Vi?"
"Anything...anything!"
"Take care of the Legion for me...I..I love you..."
He bent down and slowly..their lips met. Brainy never thought he had felt so good in his life...and to leave it all..was a tragic mistake.
They kissed for a few more seconds and that was it.
"Goodbye, Vi...and if you ever need me...."
He reached out and gave a small communicator to her.
"I'll be here for you, always..."
"Goodbye, Brainy. I love you........"
"I love you too.."
He gave one last despairing look at her and took off. Vi stood there...her tears flowing down her beautiful face...almost as if sadness had took over her...
"No, I must be strong. Brainy will be here for me. Always."
She shut the doors.
