Chapter 2:
Brainy laid on the uncomfortable bed awake, his throat was sore and dry.
Slowly, brainy pushed his arms towards the bed, in attempt to get up, but a sharp pain running all over his body stopped him.
Remembering the fight he just had with brainiac, the coluan started to inspect his body, looking at the bandages he had on his chest and in his arm.
Slower than before, brainy attempted to sit down on his bed, this time being successful.
His glaze turned at the little monkey beside him, that was waking up, probably because of his movements.
The small primate rushed to climb to brainy's shoulder, careful not to touch the wound.
Smiling at the monkey, the teen started to unwrap the bandages on his arm, to see how the was doing.
If coluans were hurt on the extremities, they would grow back in no more than a few hours. Even if brainy was not longer an android, he seemed heal a lot faster than most humanoid species, in a matter of days the wound would close living no scar.
The wound seemed pretty good, the skin was darker and it still hurt if he moved to sudden.
Putting the bandages back on, brainy again laid back, slowly relaxing his muscles.
Violet's eyes started to open, she rubbed them and turned towards the coluan, her face lit up to see him awake, quickly shaking Saturn girl awake.
Both girl went to the side of brainy's bed, he went back to his sitting position.
"you really shouldn't push it brainy, that arm is pretty bad." Saturn girl placed her hand at his shoulder, the white monkey rushed towards it and tried to bite her hand off, she however remove her hand before she was bitten.
"sorry about that, he doesn't like new people " brainy blushed a little, and send a glare towards the primate.
"he is pretty cute for being so evil, what is his name?" violet smiled at the white fur ball
"koko, he's a white space monkey. He'll be nicer when he get to know you guys" brainy's voice seemed a lot better that the one he had during the fight
both girls smiled at the duo.
"I would have never guessed you were an animal lover" saturn girl chuckled
"I am not, he's an exception" it looked like koko just nodded.
"okay guys, I am calling the others, they couldn't wait for you to be awake!" violet rushed out of the room.
Staring down during an awkward silence, brainy decided to start a conversation
"so…how are things here in the legion?"
"we have been inactive for a few months now, we don't get as many missions as we used too." Saturn girl looked around the room
"I see, are things quite around this part of the galaxy then?" brainy turned at her friend. she took a few seconds before answering.
"well…no exactly, they are quieter than before, but…the reason we haven't been called isn't that. Brainy…we need you to stay"
Saturn girl returned the glace, brainy smiled a bit.
"this time I am here to stay" before the conversation continued any further, a few legionnaires entered the room.
Violet, cham, bouncy, phantom girl, timber wolf, lighting lad and cosmic boy. The room was now crowded
"brainy!" cham, bouncy and phantom girl ran towards the green teen and hugged him tight, he blushed and didn't return the hug
"how dare you leave with no goodbyes! I missed you, even your grouchy chips!" phantom girl hugged him even tighter, making him struggle for breath.
"phantom…girl…need…breath!" the girl quickly released him, giving him as smile.
"I forgot you were no longer an android, but you know, you look pretty good! Been working out?" not knowing how to answer, brainy blushed. Making phantom girl laugh a bit.
When her laugh finally faded, bouncy took a step forward.
"so, one thing, you're the same all 12 level intellect dude you always has been, right?" brainy nodded
"that's a relief! I really need you to help me fix some engines, including computo, it has really been a pain to do so!" bouncy scratched his back.
"certainly, when do we start?" trying to stand up, brainy was stopped by lighting lad's hand.
"sorry brain stain, that can wait a bit. We just wanted to ask ya a few things before you go."
His face was very serious. Brainy nodded and sit back down
You didn't a 12 level intellect to notice that he still didn't completely trusted him, but it was understandable.
"well, the first thing we all wandered was how the heck did you turn…organic" all the legionnaires turned at him in curiosity.
"well, I…I am afraid I don't have the answer myself. I got a few theories, but none manage to have complete sense. Coluans have a 5% of organic components, yet, according to the information I have of coluan history, we were always no more than androids. I was born with 10% of these organic components, one that included my hair. My guess is that this has something to do with me being more…'human'"
his team exchanged curios looks. Not even him could explain it.
"right then, so another thing we all were wandering the past year…WERE THE HELL DID YOU GO!" lighting lad raised the tone of his voice, brainy lowered his sight.
"superman told us what you told him when we were looking for you, but it was to late, we couldn't find you. " chameleon boy looked at brainy
"and you cut all communication." Added lighting lad, brainy then raised his sight, it was still weird to see his eyes, it was really different from the ones he had. This ones were filled with emotion, the others were colder, it was a lot harder to see this.
"I guess I own you all an explanation. I wasn't planning on leaving for more than a few months, but there was a change of plan…"he glared
"brainiac…"
