A/N: aw shucks yall liked it well here is yalls reward the fourth chapter. I was listening to The Frey's how to save a life when I wrote the last chapter and the beginning of this chapter. I love that song lol.
Downtown Metropolis
Everything was quite all faint sounds of trees rustling in the cold morning air Brainy could hear nothing but the sound of his own breathing and muffled cries. "SUPERMAN!" His voiced boomed thru the empty city. "SUPERMAN!" Nothing, not a movement, not a sound, not a sign of the caped hero even being alive. "SUPERMAAAAAAANNNNN!"
The next day
"BRAINY!" superman woke up in a cold sweat struggling to breathe then a small alarm wailing soon people in blue scrubs came into the room trying to calm him down. "Brainy! Brainy!" superman shouted knocking the one of the nurse down on the floor. "Call his Friends we can't hold him". One of the nurses said. "Brainy! Brainy! Brainy!" superman screamed at the top of his lungs. "NO! NO! Brainy!" soon almost all the legionnaires ran into the room Saturn girl was the first one to grab superman.
"Shh it's alright" Saturn girl said softly rocking him back and forth. "I'm here, we're all here". "Brainy where's brainy I…heard him cry, where is he?" superman voice cracked. "I'm here Clark its ok". Brainy said walking into the room. Brainy tries to look in Clarks eye's but superman couldn't look at him. "I heard your cries…and-and…I couldn't help you…I-. He was cut off by Brainy. "Clark I wasn't in danger you were". Brainy trailed off. "It was me who couldn't get to you in-. "But you did and with your quick thinking we were able to get him to a hospital" Saturn girl said softly still rocking Clark and rubbing his back. "Yeah brainy you saved us and Clark don't bet yourself down". Said the White Triplicate.
Brainy gave a small smile then looked at Clark who fell asleep in Saturn girl's arms, then his smile grew even more, he like seeing Clark at peace. "He's fallen asleep". Whispered Saturn girl. She laid him down and pulled the blankets on him. "Let's go get some lunch and we'll come back here". Said Saturn girl softly. So they all left.
Fatal five's hideout
"Tharok!" shouted Empress from the other room. "What is it!" Scowled Tharok. Empress stormed in the room. "He's awake I thought he was supposed to be dead by morning!" Empress shouted. "First of all lower you voice, secondly he would have but since he didn't get the enough of the radiation it would probable take two-. Tharok cut his sentence short and began to rub his chin evilly. "What, why are you looking at me like that?" Empress asked angrily. "It will take two days for him to die maybe three". Tharok thought out loud. "So that's not a good thing". Said Empress. Tharok gave her the are you stupid look. "He will suffer we don't have to worry about those brats because they'll be to busy and tired to mess with us"
"Hmmm so we can take advantage of the legion being overworked" exclaimed Empress. "No wonder you're the leader, your obviously the smart one". Smirked Tharok. "Don't make me turn your body into spaghetti and use the other half as a grader for you bones!" Empress said evilly but with a smile. She left the room and Tharok let out a sigh of relief.
Later that night at the hospital
Clark is asleep with Triplicate and Phantom girl on the hospital bed, Triplicate is on the left and Phantom girl is on the right both hugging Clark in their sleep. Timber wolf fell asleep in the chair on the right of the bed, Saturn girl is on the left off resting her head on the bed, bouncy fell asleep in front of the TV in the corner, Lightning lad and Brainy were on the couch. Lightning lad taking up most of the couch space and Brainy is at the end but he's not asleep.
"Why couldn't I move? why did I just stared?, why couldn't I- "brainy are you ok". Brainy snapped out of his thoughts and saw his pink eyed team mate giving him a worried look. "Yes I'm fine why do you ask?" asked Brainy. "Well you're just sitting here staring off at nothing". Saturn girl said softly. "Well I'm fine I was just thinking about what happened yesterday, there's something I missed". Said brainy sadly. Saturn girl put a hand on his shoulder. "Brainy why don't you rest and tomorrow we'll help with the missing pieces.
Brainy smiled then looked at superman, he was sleeping so peacefully, and then he chuckled when he saw Tri turn over to the opposite side, then superman turned over held Tri like a teddy bear snuggling closer, and Phantom girl who scooted closer to hold Clark the same way he held Tri. "Aw, hey brainy can you give me that camera?" Asked Saturn girl. Brainy smiled and handed her the camera.
Brainy woke up to bouncy's and lightning lad's snickering. He sat up and saw Lightning lad point out the fact superman is a "snuggler" and timber wolf looks a bit jealous about how Phantom girl is holding Superman. "Aw we should give superman a teddy bear". Lightning lad said in a baby's voice. This cause bouncy to laugh harder, superman stirred a bit, lightning lad held bouncy's mouth then let it go when superman continued to sleep. "Oh will you guys quit it". Said Saturn girl walking in with breakfast. "Oooo doughnuts". Said Bouncing boy taking a bag from Saturn girl.
"Mmm chocolate". Superman said in his sleep. Lightning lad and bouncy exchanged evil looks. Lightning lad went towards the bed and carefully put a small communicator in his ear then walked back to bouncing boy. "Garth". Saturn girl said motherly. "Oh c'mon this would be fun". And with that lightning lad clears his throat. "Clark your room is a mess you not hanging out with friends until it's clean". Lightning lad said in a poorly imitation of a woman's voice. "Ma, not now". Superman said in his sleep.
They both busted out in laughter so did Saturn girl and Timber wolf, and a small chuckle from Brainy. "Ooo my turn". Said Bouncy then he spoke into his ring. "Gives you old ma a kiss darling". Bouncy said in a woman's voice. "Ma there's…people here". Said superman once again on his sleep. They all laughed even more. "this is so funny". said lightning lad. "Hope you guys are having fun" superman said with his eyes closed. They all suddenly stopped and stared at each other for a moment then start to laugh again. "What's so funny". Said a sleepy Triplicate girl.
She got up and rubbed her eyes. " Oh nothing I see you all slept well". Teased lightning lad. Tri stuck out her tongue, soon phantom girl got up and blushed when she notice she was holding Clark like a teddy bear. "Darn it we forgot the camera". Said bouncy. "I already took pictures". Giggled Saturn girl. "Traitor what about our pack?" said Phantom girl. "Sorry it was too cute and you broke that pack a long time ago". Said Saturn girl. "What time is it?". Groaned a sleepy Superman. "8:43am". Said brainy. "So why are we up now"? Whined superman. "I thought you were a morning person". Teased Lightning lad.
"Well when my head feels like a bomb just went off, I like to sleep. "You have a headache?" asked Saturn girl. "Mm mmmm hhhmm" superman said with his head in the pillow. "What did he say?" lightning lad asked. "He said he's fine Saturn girl" Triplicate girl said giggling. "Clark you need to tell us". Said Saturn girl softly. "Fine my whole body ach, I don't know what I did yesterday but what ever happed I feels like I've been thrown through 30 buildings". Said superman. "Hey guys you better come see this". Said bouncy boy. He turned up the volume on the TV everyone turn to look, the news is on and the reporter is recovering the whole legion and the fatal five mishap.
"I'm Kron Thro reporting for News Metropolis channel 4, today we visit the devastating disaster of Downtown New Metropolis, on Friday the 21st the fatal five were destroying Downtown metropolis but thing got worse when the Legion of Superheroes arrived, they manage to thousands of civilians and the one of there own who practically destroyed Downtown we'll take you to the live coverage of the president's conference about the legion's destruction". Everyone was stunned no one spoke. "Madam President Do you think that we can fix half of downtown?" a woman reporter asked. "Yes like always we were able to fix more damaged planets, cities, and towns this is only minor compared to all disasters the legion and I have fixed" said president Wazzo. "But this would take millions of dollars to repair half of downtown how are we going to do that?" said an angry Congress man. "I rather loose millions of dollars than millions of lives. That is all for today. "Madam President" the reporters called.
"That was a live conference from madam president Wazzo. Now thers only one question to ask are the legion doing more harm than good? This is Kron Thro from News Metropolis channel 4".
Brainy turned the TV off and sighed deeply. "Why do the always blame us and not the villains?" scoffed lightning lad. "Did I do that?" asked superman his voice a little rasped from dealing with the fatal five. "It's not your fault Clark you were protecting your self". Said Brainy.
Clark got up and walked to his clothes that were lying on the couch. He was wearing white hospital pajamas the tee-shirt fit him perfectly showing what little muscle he had his bottoms were a little baggy, but still looked good on him. "What are you doing?" Brainy asked. "Going back to the headquarters". Superman said grabbing his own clothes. He pulled the curtain close so he could change. "No you're not the doctor said you need to rest". Said Saturn girl sternly. "No I leaving I don't want to spend the night (grunt) here".
"Do you need any help Clark?" Triplicate girl asked. "No…I'm (grunt) oh...forget it" superman opened the Curtin suddenly startling the others he was still wearing the white pants but he had his shirt and vest on. they all stared at him. "What, I couldn't put my pants on because my back hurts". Superman said putting on his glasses. "Let's go". "Superman you're staying here". Saturn girl said crossing her arms. "I don't want to and you can't make me". Superman said crossing his arms.
"And why not?" asked Saturn girl. "Uh oh" whispered Lightning lad.
"Please can I just leave I don't like it here please". Superman begged staring into her bright pink eyes; she stares back into his icy blue eyes then frowned. "Alright let's go home but I'm calling a house doctor to check up on you" said Saturn girl as she walked out the door superman followed. "Did she just". Said lightning lad. "Yep". Said Bouncy. And they all left.
At the headquarters later that day
Almost everyone was in the kitchen; Lightning lad and Brainy were elsewhere. "How is he?" asked Triplicate. "He's still asleep I'm really worried about him Tri". Saturn girl sighed. "Me to its like 7pm and he didn't eat before the incident or after". Said Triplicate girl. "Where's brainy?" asked Phantom girl. "Trying to figure out what that stuff was besides it being kryptonite, he thinks the whole hospital break in was another trick." Saturn girl said rubbing her temples.
Clark walked into the kitchen. "Rise n shine princess". Timber wolf teased. Clark sat down and laid his head on the table. "are you hungry Clark, timber wolf made pasta". Said Triplicate. "Not. Hungry." Groaned Clark. "why are you here then?". Asked Phantom girl. "Glass of water". Clark said tiredly. "Clark are you feeling ok?" asked Triplicate. She puts her hands on his head. " oh my your burning up". Said Triplicate girl. "really". Said Saturn getting up to feel his head.
"Clark you have a fever". She said shocked. Brainy ran into the kitchen with a worried look on his face. "what is it Brainy?" "everyone in the lounge, Clark you stay here".said Brainy. Everyone left to the lounge. "Brainy you're scaring me what is it?" said Saturn girl. Brainy let his head down. "Clark's going to die".
