Prompt: Brainiac Five visiting the asylum where Phantom Girl is at.
"Hello, Phantom Girl," he spoke softly, shutting the door to the room behind him. He was told that she didn't respond to that, now, that Tinya was it, but… She wasn't Tinya, to him, and he couldn't call her that. Phantom Girl was her title, her name… Regardless.
"I brought you flowers." As usual, he stepped over, taking the now-dead flowers out of their vase and replacing them with their current ones. He could genetically engineer some, he supposed, to survive, but… This gave him something to bring, every time, a change in the room. "I believe Jo is going to visit tomorrow…"
Her mother was too busy to come, unfortunately, drawn away to farther planets, so he would take up her task, for his friend, and, plucking her brush out of her dresser drawer, the Coluan sat cross-legged behind her and began the task of carefully brushing her hair. A year ago, he would have laughed in someone's face if they stated he would be doing such.
A year ago, Phantom Girl was not like this.
"We gained some new team members, have you heard? None from Bgztl, of course, none could compare, but there have been some unique people trying out… We are considering letting Ayla join, you met her, correct? Her level of maturity is quite high, for her age…" It was… too quick, that her hair was done, and standing up to step over, Querl carefully re-affixed her decals in her hair.
Stepping back with a sigh, he surveyed her, before carefully setting a small box in her small, pale hand. "Today's the anniversary of you joining the Legion… Tinya." She jerked, slightly, at that, and Querl pulled away, moving to the door, taking one glance back to survey the small, black and white girl, in her vibrant room. A new color appeared every time he came, it seemed. Perhaps Color Kid was a regular visitor?
Regardless… "Good-bye, Phantom Girl. I will see you next time." Whenever that was to be.
Notes: Aaaaah sadness. Quite a few of these coming up, may have to intersperse them between other drabbles, so you know.
