A/N: Welcome to the first chapter of my newest fan fiction, 'Legion Lost'. As the title implies, things will be lost with in the Legion and things will be sacrificed for the greater good. Unlike my other fan fiction though I will deal with three very important groups of characters; The 'Twoboot' Legion (Code Five, Andromeda and others), my current Legion (Brainiac Five, Cosmic Boy and such) and the Past Heroes (Supergirl is in the past for most of this). I decided to go full out with this fan fiction, and would like to dedicate it to all those faithful reviewers from Future Perfect. Especially those who have been with me since chapter one; the_violet_rose, and Eleos_Argentum. This is dedicated though to valerie21601 who keeps my muse running. XD

Disclaimer: I do not own any of these characters contained with in this fan fiction. They belong to DC and those who created them. I just borrowed the characters. Please don't sue.

Chapter One:

Paradox 7

Andromeda

We traveled the first part of the journey in silences, Brainiac Five (or Code Five as he was calling himself now) piloting the ship and me co-piloting. When we reached the proper location to set the auto-pilot we did, and I stood up to stretched. Things had been strange between us since he returned to normal, especially now that we were alone together. I longed for things to be like they were before, and wanted so bad just to rest in his arms. His expression of guilt and cold though wasn't that inviting.

"Come on," I said to him, and he turned to look at me slowly. His eyes were cool but pained, almost like he couldn't bring himself to look at me. It annoyed the hell out of me. "Stop focusing on the past, you have to move on."

"I am; leaving that place behind is the first step. The next is forgetting."

"Brainy-"

"Its Code Five now," he said, his tone was cold and cut into me. He stood up and began to make his way out of the room, moving pass me. "I'm going to check a few things in the engine room, I'll be back. Make sure the ship stays on course till I return."

We were going on auto-pilot so there was no danger in that but as he left the room I did decide to stay. What had happened to him? Had the Time Trapper not only twisted his body but his mind as well? I wanted to scream out in frustration and pain. I pulled out a flight ring and looked at one of the holo-vids I had saved.

It had been taking a long time ago, in a long dead universe, when things were simpler. Brainiac Five was still Brainiac Five, and was busy working on his threshold tech he had been messing with for some time. I had snuck into his lab, and his C.O.M.P.U.T.O. had recorded the video. I had slipped in and as he worked I went directly behind him and started to nibble on his ear. He was so focused that for a little while he had no idea what was going on. When he began to enjoy it a little too much though he snapped out of his daze and tried to yell at me. I had distracted him from his important research and messed with him, how dare I? I had replied that it really wasn't a problem at all, and told him that he knew he enjoyed it. He couldn't deny that, but attempted to get back to work. His focus had been shot though and he spent the rest of the time trying to get back at me.

I put my hand over the image, and took a deep breath. I just needed to give him time and space. He would recover even if I had to pound it into him.

Code Five

I couldn't let her know how much I wanted to hold her, wanted to feel her body pressed against mine. I was suffering from a familiar pain, the voices in my mind had returned. They were different then they were before, and this time there was only one. It was Saturn Girl, and she was telling me everything was alright, that I had to go to Paradox 7. What ever this place was it felt like a trap to me. But the first step to getting out of a trap was tripping the trap.

I ran a hand through my hair and made my way over to crew chambers that I had made my own oasis. It was quiet there, and empty, so for a while I would be at peace. Or at least for a few minutes. I walked over to the bed and sat down, forcing myself to stare at the person reflected back at me from the glass. What a tired, warn looking sap was that man, I couldn't even tell that it was me anymore. It looked more like another Coluan I had known back home… What the hell was his name? I couldn't even remember anymore, and I wasn't even sure I remembered ever meeting him. My memory was still foggy.

Why couldn't I stop thinking about that moment when I had accepted the Time Trapper's power? It was in the forefront of my mind, hanging over me like a storm. I pounded my hand into the pillow, screaming out. What the hell was wrong with me!? Why couldn't I be like I was before? I just wanted things to go back to the way they were…

But that was my problem, wasn't it? To busy focusing on the past and not spending enough time on the present. My anger at myself built up again but I forced it down. I couldn't let any part of myself be left open and exposed, not like before. I would guard my emotions to keep them from getting the better of me and if that meant separating myself even a little from Laurel… Then so be it. It would be better for her in the long run anyway.

I returned to the bridge where she was, and found her staring out into space with a distant look in her eyes. When I walked closer to her though she looked over at me, before quickly looking away. She was angry at me I could tell. Maybe because of my refusal to call my self 'Brainiac Five', or that I didn't give her the attention we both craved. I put my hand on her shoulder and she turned back to me.

"When we reach Paradox 7, everything will get better. I promise."

"Is that what you promised those who were with you last time you were here? That once you get back to Earth, things would be better?"

"I wasn't here, it was another universe. But I did tell them that."

"You were wrong," she said, her tone sharp. Then her tone turned calm again. "Did you forgive yourself for that?"

"Eventually," I admitted. "But it was hard."

"Its always hard, but you have to do it. But look, we are almost there."

The viewer showed us the advance images of the planet Paradox 7 and I had to admitted, it was beautiful. The purple-blue orb looked like a jewel in the sky, shimmering and full of life. The readings from the planet said it was a world with a breathable atmosphere and filled with life. The readings told of intelligent life but far more interesting was all the forms of unintelligent forms that populated the surface and underground. So many undiscovered creatures filled with so many possibilities it made me feel like my old self for a moment.

"Lets hurry up and land," I said, unaware of what I sounded like. Laurel gave me a strange look, but began to prepare the ship for landing. Flicking a few switches, the ship began to slow down and gently vibrate. Within moments the vibrations became more intense, but I wasn't feeling them. I was picturing all of the wonders awaiting us on the planet bellow.

Andromeda

He had begun to act more like what I remembered when we reached the planet's atmosphere. His eyes were flashing brightly, and that old familiar smile was on his face. I couldn't help but smile myself.

We entered the atmosphere, and already his face had settled back into a more neutral look. I was a little disappointed but I didn't say a word. The planet was one I had never been to, nor had he, but it seemed pretty welcoming. I almost felt as if I was returning to the universe that had been torn away from us, and Saturn Girl was waiting for me. I shook that thought out of my head though, how stupid was that idea?

It took us about thirty minutes to reach the inner atmosphere going at the gentle pace we were going, and a few more minutes to find a proper landing spot. When we landed I took a few minutes to power down the ship and then made my way out. It was surprised for a moment that I had beat him out, but he had once again shifted into that neutral look. I groaned softly.

By the Mother-Goddess, the landscape was beautiful! The ground was covered in a deep blue-green grass, dotted with flowers of all shapes and colors. No to far away was a large pond covered in strange birds of red and green, and further still were forest and then mountains in the far distance. I ran out into the field, laughing as I did in joy. It reminded me of home in some small way. Maybe this could be our new home.

"Brainy, you have to come out and see this! It's amazing!"

I didn't wait for him to come out but took to the sky. I was glad that he had thought to choose a planet close to a yellow sun, so my powers would not be impacted at all. I flew to the pond and disturbed the birds. They took the skies on their multi-colored wings looking like a rainbow. I was in love. I spun around once, twice, then three times in the air before I landed at the edge of the pond. My reflection for a second reminded me of Kara, but that quickly faded.

"There is a town near by," came Querl's voice, but it was cooler then I expected. When I turned to him I noticed he was looking at his finger nails. I rolled my eyes, I couldn't help it. What was up with him? "We will stay in the ship for safety reasons until we are absolutely sure that it's safe for us to live among the people. I'm going back to the ship to gather some more readings on the planet then we can go down to the town."

When he entered the ship, I fell back against the grass. I wasn't about to let him ruin my good mood.

It was strange, but it only took him a few minutes to come back out of the ship. He wasn't holding any devices or anything that could help him take readings, but he was looking wildly around. He took to the skies in a rush even before I could grab him. I took off after him.

"What's going on? What did you see?"

"It's them! They're here, Laurel!"

I grabbed his hand, pulling him back. He looked wild again, his eyes shining with something akin to insanity. "Who is it? Make sense to me, Querl."

He grabbed his head for a second, catching his breath before he answered. "It's the founders, Laurel. They are here."

"What? How do you know that?"

"Listen with your mind," he said, his calm quickly returning now that he had taken a moment to gather himself. "Push the rest of your thoughts aside and concentrate on Saturn Girl. Can you hear her?"

I'm still not sure what got me to listen to him. Was it my love for him? What ever it was, I did close my eyes and concentrated and by the mother-goddess I did hear her! She was calling out for us gently, calling us to come home. Follow her thoughts and she would bring us home again. With tears in my eyes I opened them and smiled at Querl.

"Imra survived! I can't believe it!"

"We have to. Come on."

We took off at top speeds, following the though patterns until we felt her getting closer and closer. I felt my heart ruse in my chest, the joy almost going into ecstasy. I couldn't believe it! They had survived! I wanted to hug Querl so tight that he broke in half, but that would have been a bad thing so I didn't. As we traveled closer and closer to the though source, I began to laugh.

We found not Imra though when we reached the end of the path, but a beacon. She had, with the help of the locals or the two other founders had made a beacon of crystal and metal. It was the source of the thought projections which meant they were somewhere near by. Querl looked angry and frustrated, his hands clenched into fist. I put my hands on them, and he turned to me.

"Calm yourself," I told him gently, "they are here we just have to find them. Do you see the forest over there? That would be the perfect place to build a base. Let's check there."

I held his hand as we walked down the hill away from the beacon. The forest was dense and dark, but we found our way easily around in it. It was a present place though, filled with life. Not like so many dead forest that I had found on other worlds. When we were deep into the forest though, a noise caused us both to turn around. A zap of electricity through the air, and a flash of light that turned everything white for just a moment blinded us. When my vision cleared though I saw them, the founders; Garth, Imra and Rokk were really alive.

"By all the moons of Colu, you're all alive!"
