Forgotten Tomorrow


It was pretty silent for it being the future. The machines that helped the world turn were humming softly. The Legionaries were quietly enjoying the day with out evil activities disturbing the peace.

Their was peace you could hear children playing. The water fountain in front of the legion HQ was tranquilly pouring water. It was a gorgeous and sunny day.

Then Superman appeared in front of Brainy. Asked him how it was going and Brainy had yelled. A lot.

"He'll do fine." Superman stated looking at Brainy straight faced.

Brainys eye twitched. That was not the thing to say. "How do you know he will be fine?"

Superman thought for a moment. "I never had another Kryptonian around to help me with my powers. I turned out fine. Come to think of it so did Kell."

"You had us, the legion, and Kell had K3NT. You two were pretty well set in the controlling powers category." Brainy stated.

"Superboy has Batman. The Batman. He'll be fine."

Brainy twitched. "Just because hes Batman doesn't mean that he can help a Kryptonian."

Superman sighed. He was not going to win this argument. He never did.

"Fine." Superman started. "But you have to help me with this."

Brainy nodded. "I wont do every thing for you. You have to learn on your own what hes like."

-Metropolis: 21st century-

Brainy and Clark exited the time bubble and into the small apartment. It was small but cozy. It only had what Superman needed: civies, work cloths, a bed, and a kitchen. Its not like he was home very often any way. Clark had devoted most of his time to helping either the league or legion. The rest of the time was for the Daily Planet, to earn some much needed cash.

Brainy looked around the small one bedroom apartment. Not a lot had changed since his last visit to the twenty first century. Still the same old paint, furniture and sheets. Though its not like Clark had the time to spare to get a new color for the recreational part of the apartment.

"So." started Brainy. "I have to ask. Why are you avoiding him?"

Damn it Brainy. Thought Clark turning toward the Coluan. He thought for a moment. "He's got my DNA, Brainy. DNA that was acquired without my permission."

"So? Several children are created by accident."

"But Brainy this wasn't an accident. It couldn't have been. Not if they got to a project 13."

Brainy had to admit he was correct. If they got all the way to thirteen then this was no accident. Some one wanted Superboy to exist. They got their wish. Who ever they were.


Ok so I am revising this. so hopefully this is better than what it was before. again Ideas would be helpful.
