Chapter 4- legacy
The city was busy as always in New Metropolis as a robot...or what seemed to be a robot climbed over the roofs
"Is all this really so terribly necessary?" asked a voice on a small screen inside the robot. The female inside smiled
"Yep." She stated and moved the robot forward to the edge of the roof "come on Wodehouse, live a little." She stated and jumped off wings came out of the back and she soared through the sky but then a beeping noise alerted him
"Having a bit of trouble?" the voice asked
"Nothing to worry about." She said and pushed the ejector button but it flashed saying error "the ejectors not working." She stressed "but I can handle this." She spoke confidently as it fell. Just as it was about to hit the floor it stopped as Superman had caught it
"JEEZE COULD YOU HAVE CUT IT ANY CLOSER!!" Roxy yelled as the top of the robot opened and a girl with ginger hair jumped out.
"Thanks for the save." She waved and walked over to her car
"Anytime." He answered as the car flew off "who was that?" he asked but Roxy had disappeared so he headed back himself. The legion base was quite quiet that day, except for the constant tapping noise of Brainy's computer keys on his chair. The team were doing basically nothing, except for Roxy who was reading something whilst listening to some old music with her teddy next to her, she never went anywhere without that bloody thing and each time her 'secret admirer' saw her with it he ended up smiling leaving everyone confused at what he was so happy about. Superman flew in and landed in the middle of the room
"The weirdest thing just happened." He stated sounding bewildered
"Let me guess, you accidently walked into another trans-matter gate and ended up on mars?" Lightning lad smirked and Roxy shook her head at his idiocy
"Very funny." Superman stated sarcastically "No, it's just, I met this girl." He answered gaining Phantom girls attention
"Really? What's her name? What's she look like, ooh, is she cute?" she asked eagerly
"I hardly got a look at her; I don't even know her name." He stressed then saw a picture on Phantom girls we're screen thing "hey, that's her!" he stated and Saturn girl, Lightning lad and Brainy appeared lookin over his shoulder whilst Roxy just carried on reading
"What?" he asked
"Erm, you know that's Alexis right?" Phantom girl asked smirking
"Richest girl in the galaxy? Even I know who Alexis is." Lightning lad smirked
"She takes the 'privileged but misunderstood' act to a WHOLE new level, and... that's comin from an expert." She smirked
"She has her own privet planet called Magathar, collects rare Jovian power charms... and never wears the same shoes twice... or at least, that's what I think someone told me once." Saturn girl smiled
"Girl's way out of your league bud." Lightning lad smirked
"No-ones out of Supermans league, he's Superman." Brainy defended and Roxy smirked at Brainy defending his hero.
"Thanks Brainy." Superman smiled "guess it doesn't matter, it's not like I'm ever going to run into her again." Superman shrugged as Roxy got up to answer the beeping door. The sliding doors opened and a robot appeared as Superman walked up
"For you Master Superman." Roxy smirked and walked back to her seat
"Complements of Alexis." The robot spoke in a posh accent then dropped something in his hand, bowed and rolled off. Everyone but Roxy gathered round to see what it was as a holographic image appeared and Alexis's head appeared
"Sooo, there's this Charity thing tonight that I have to go to, and you're comin with me, the invite has all the details, see ya there." The face smiled the disappeared as the girls looked at him shocked
"Guess I have plans tonight." He smiled
"Yes you do, you and I are scheduled for patrol." Brainy stated
"O-oh, we are?" he asked
"No problem, I'll cover for ya." Lightning lad smirked "see if she has any friends." He whispered
"Superman, this is highly irregular, with the scavengers on the loose, I've calculated the optimum schedule for recognisance and-"
"Wait, wait a minute... the who?" Superman asked confused and he turned round to face them
"Didn't you read my report?" he asked and each one of them looked at him weirdly "did any of you? Except for Roxy because she's reading it now." He stated
"Brainy, it was 150 pages long." Phantom girl stated "I don't see how Roxy can actually read It." she finished and Roxy looked up with an eyebrow raised as Brainy sighed and walked over to his computer
"For one, it is 132, and for two, I can because I want to." She answered and Brainy smirked at her and she hid her face in the report
"And if you had read it, you would know that the scavengers are a gang of technology thieves, my data indicates that New Metropolis is their next target." Brainy explained what Roxy didn't as Lightning lad flew over
"You needed 132 pages to say that?" he asked sceptically
"I've also mapped out a patrol scheme covering the most likely targets and for superman, a little sight-seeing." He finished but then saw Supermans depressed look "but I guess I could alter the plan." He sighed sadly and Roxy walked over to him and smiled
"Cheer up Brainy... hey it's our patrol shift tomorrow, we always have fun on them don't we?" she smirked and he noticed the small bear in her hand and smiled as Superman came over she moved back
"What if I make it up to you, I patrol with you the night after tomorrow, and the next night...you and me." he said the night after tomorrow so Roxy wouldn't give him a good whack round the head for ruining her patrol shift with him.
"Really?!" he asked then realised what he did and went back to normal "I mean, that would be acceptable." He smiled and Roxy grinned. As Superman left Brainy and Roxy were headed to the lounge to watch one of Bouncing Boys regular classic showings.
"What is it this time?" Brainy asked
"Erm... if I remember correctly, he said it was a supposedly scary one...about vampires and werewolves." She smiled
"Oh perfect... another week of fright for Bouncing boy" he stated
"This is my kind of thing though." She grinned
"You know what, I think I'll pass." He stated shaking his head and turning the other way but was stopped when she pulled his arm
"Oh come on, don't be a moody dude, have some fun." She said tugging him back; he turned to see she was using that blasted Puppy dog pout that she'd mastered. He turned his head away from her quickly
"No, I need to check up on the scavengers." He stated 'don't give in don't give in DON'T GIVE IN!' he yelled internally and she sulked off with her teddy in hand (PUT IT DOWN WILL YA!!) as he walked back to his lab. Meanwhile Superman had arrived at the Charity thing then heard a beeping.
"What's up Brainy?" he asked in a hushed tone
"Just wanted to give you an update on the scavengers." He spoke as Roxy walked back in with another attempt to make him watch the cool film
"You're missing it, come on pwease?" She asked cutely then she heard Superman and shut up
"Go ahead." Superman spoke
"Currently there's nothing to report, but I'll keep you posted." Brainy smirked as Roxy smacked herself in the head he decided to watch the film after all.
"Thanks." Superman spoke with sarcasm evident in his voice. A woman tapped him on the shoulder
"Check your...cape sir?" she asked smirking as a few people laughed but he shook his head
"I must of read the invitation wrong, I didn't realise this was a costume party." Some snobbish guy stated rudely as Superman turned round
"Really? Then why'd you come looking like a stuffed morgue, oh is that you Court, I'm sorry that's how you always look, isn't it?" Alexis smirked and the guy stomped off in a huff
"Hey." Superman smiled
"Hi." She grinned
"Charming as always Alexis." Three girls stated sarcastically but equally snobby, Alexis Laughed sarcastically then stopped
"We're leaving." She stated dryly and they headed out
"What about your party?" he asked confused
"They got my cheque, that's the only reason they invite me to these things." She stated bored
"Although I can't say I'm disappointed to be returning home early for once." Wodehouse spoke
"So...then I guess this is goodnight." He stated and she looked behind her and smirked
"I've got a better idea." she stated and jumped on some random guys' motorbike and flew up into the air "try to keep up." she smiled and flew off as he took off after her whilst Wodehouse paid the money for the bike. Meanwhile
"Roxy I have to let Superman know of the patrol shift." Brainy commented
"Tell him when he gets back, come on, please watch the film, you never stay sat throughout one yet." She pulled his arm as he struggled to get through the door
"I can't... I have... to tell Superman." He stated out of breath and she smirked and released her grip making him tumble on the floor
"Fine be a party pooper!" she stated pretending to be annoyed and stormed back into the lounge as he looked at the door and then down the hallway, 'I hate this.' He thought annoyed then carried on his trek to his lab. Back with Superman as they flew his belt started beeping again
"For our patrol, I thought it would be fun to start in the Boston sector, then-"
"Not a good time Brainy." Superman spoke cutting him off, Brainy turned it off
"Fine, I'll go watch the movie then." He sighed and walked back to the lounge. The two had landed on a building
"You're crazy!" he exclaimed playfully and she put a finger to her mouth
"Shush, keep quiet and follow Me." she smiled and he followed her into the building, they hid behind a wall to get past the guard then she ran over to a panel bent down and began clicking buttons
"I'm not so sure we should be doin this." He whispered
"It's ok, I own the building." She smiled
"Then why are we sneaking around?" he asked confused and she opened the panel to reveal a tunnel
"nothing fun about a front door, also technically you're not supposed to be here unsupervised... a few problems with an experiment, now I don't know why the board of directions got so bent out of shape, the top ten floors look as good as new, don't they?" she asked as she climbed down the tunnel. "As Mutros's largest share holder, they're required to give me an office." She smiled opening a door to reveal a large room filled with games and small robots,
"This... is your office?" he asked and she smiled and shrugged then walked off "cool." He smiled and followed her.
"Oh that is sooo cool!" Roxy exclaimed as the good guy turned into a werewolf "he looks like you Timberwolf." She grinned at him
"I'll take that as a complement as you like him so much." He smirked as Brainy looked at her funnily "now I'm off to Rimbour, I'll be back tomorrow." He stated then walked out.
"Ok everybody shush; I must see the cool werewolf kick this vampires' backside... I never did like Dracula." She mumbled the last bit and everyone shut up before she shocked them. Nearing the end of the film the alarm went off
"NO!!! WHY NOW?!! YOU EVIL, EVIL PEOPLE!!!"
"We can press pause." Brainy smirked at her rant
"...I knew that." She stated quickly as he rolled his eyes
"It's the scavengers." Saturn girl informed them and the headed off as Roxy looked back at the TV mournfully then ran out but then ran back in and put her teddy on the couch.
"Having all this stuff is ok, it's the pressure I could do without" Alexis stated whilst they played some sort of holographic rugby game.
"Yeah, your work here seems very stressful." Superman smiled
"Do you have any idea what it's like to have everyone expect you to grow up to be some great important person?" she asked
"Actually I do." He chuckled a bit
"it's just that, I don't have a big thing I wanna do with my life, I just wanna be normal, tinker with my bots, have some friends, but I'm not even any good at that
"You know I have a hard time making friends here too, most of the people the legion run into all end up shooting at us." He stated weirdly. On the other side of the city the Legion were doin their best to fight off the scavengers
"Looks like we found the scavengers
"Roxy, why don't you just use your power?" asked Brainy deflecting the shots fired at him
"You saw what happened last time, I almost crushed you!!" She exclaimed
"You were under CONTROL!" he yelled dumbly and she rolled her eyes
"That doesn't matter, if I use it, the power will radiate again and crush your metal." She spoke clearly and he sighed and carried on fighting. Saturn girl back-flipped to dodge the shots then read their minds
"They want to add the weapons inside this depo to their arsenal." She spoke as one targeted her but then was punched by B5.
"You wouldn't need telepathy if you'd read my report." He stated simply then put up a shield "ROXY WHY DON'T YOU SHIELD US!!?" he yelled
"I'M A BIT BUSY AT THE MOMENT!" she replied duplicating and fighting off more of them in her Zorainian form
"Fine, I'm analysing our options, conclusion, our plan should be-"
"Keep 'em out of the Depo." Lightning lad finished
"Got it." Phantom girl stated and fazed through the floor and threw a guy into the air then dodged some shots and punched the guy who shot at her. As the others fought the Scavengers just kept coming, Saturn girl kicked on but missed and was shot at, but it went right through her then she disappeared, the scavenger turned around and was kicked in the face by the real Saturn girl, Brainiac 5 and Lightning lad protected the doors from the Scavengers
"It's time to call superman." Brainy stated clearly
"You know, it'd be a lot easier to listen to you, if you weren't so dang bossy, besides, I don't need Supermans help to handle these clowns." He smirked and shot a load of them. Then a lilac bubble formed around them
"I AM GOOD!" Roxy cheered and was then shot "WHY YOU!!" she yelled and drowned the scavenger that fired at her, but the shot had hit her necklace dropping the bubble "oh crap." She spoke annoyed
"WHAT HAPPENED?" Brainy asked
"MY NECKLACE IS BROKE, I NEED IT FIXED AND QUICK!" she replied and he nodded
"I'LL FIX IT WHEN WE FINISH WITH THESE!" he yelled back and she smiled. Meanwhile Superman was having fun
"It feels like it's been a thousand years since I just hung out and had fun like this." He smiled as she scored a point
"Don't you have friends in the legion?" she asked
"I do, but being in the legion, doesn't leave much downtime... unless Roxy has anything to do with It." he smirked
"Who's Roxy?" she asked
"Zorainian girl." He answered and she mouthed an 'oh'. the legion was fighting but seemingly loosing since Roxy had been knocked out by a stray bullet that went off course and smack her, Brainy was doin his best to protect her as well as keep his shield up to protect himself, then he saw an opportunity as a few fired at Saturn girl he stretched his arm out and punched them, then put up a deflecting shield and sent all the shots aimed at him right back at the Scavengers.
"Keep fighting." One of them spoke as they advanced on the Depo
"You know, I think now might be a good time to call superman." Lightning lad spoke and Brainy tried to reach him
"So, are you guna stop letting me win now?" Alexis asked smirking
"Was it that obvious?" he asked as his belt started beeping "oh brainy." He sighed
"You in this game or not?" she asked smirking and he turned his communicator off
"I'm in." He smirked. Brainy had put his shield down out of shock as Roxy woke up
"Well?" Lightning lad asked as she shook her head and stood up
"He turned off his communicator." He replied sadly and Roxy's eyes widened
"Oh when I get my hands on him, I'm guna-"
"BRAINY MOVE!" Lightning lad cut her off and Brainy turned round to see a shot had been fired; it hit his arm completely destroying the limb, he stumbled back and fell unconscious as Lightning lad caught him then fired at the scavengers, whilst Roxy was steaming, her eyes had gone from lilac to red. Phantom girl punched a Scavenger multiple times and Saturn girl kicked two of their backsides as the floor rumbled they turned to see Brainy unconscious
"Brainy!" Saturn girl exclaimed as she saw Lightning lad holding the teen
"Get inside now!" Roxy yelled
"You'll be all alone!" Lightning lad spoke
"AT LEAST I WON'T CRUSH BRAINY, NOW MOVE IT!" she yelled back and they nodded and ran inside the depo and closed the doors as pipe lines emerged from the floor and caused a tidal wave that crashed down on the Scavengers then she boiled the water and controlled the water and sent it into a large stone wall. Later on the Legion...minus Roxy, arrived at the base to see Superman sat down lookin at a news report for Alexis, he noticed they were in there and sat up
"What took you guys? Check it out, Alexis has this office right? Where every game is-" then he noticed Brainy's arm or what was left of it as Roxy walked in dusting her hands off then walked up to Brainy and looked at him sympathetically
"Here I'll help." She smiled and wafted her hand over his arm and it regenerated itself "speed up the process." She winked and he smiled thankfully
"Oh he had a little run in with the scavengers, they got away. What happened to you?" Lightning lad asked annoyed
"I called you during the fight; why didn't you answer?" Brainy asked
"You mean that was, ugh, guys I'm really sorry, I just figured it was one of Brainys er."
"Let me guess, regularly scheduled pointless updates, no wonder he turned you off." Phantom girl spoke as he gave her a dirty look
"HE SHOULD NEVER TURN THAT THING OFF; IT'S THERE FOR A REASON!!!" Roxy steamed "I'm off to watch the rest of my movie!" she exclaimed and stormed off. As the computer started beeping
"Incoming message; could be the reconnaissance data I requested or- oh, it's from her." Brainy spoke agitated
"Hey, Alexis got me tickets to the Pulthorn races...I have no idea what that is." Superman stated confused
"Then you won't mind turning her down, we need you to help find the scavengers Superman." And he walked off "and for your information, there's no Alexis in team." He finished then walked off to join Roxy in the lounge to finish the movie.
"Ooh, someone needs a grouchy chip removed." Phantom girl commented
"He's right, I should have been there, I'll tell Alexis, she'll understand." Superman stated and set off. Meanwhile Brainy had caught up to Roxy
"Thanks for sticking up for Me." he smiled
"Eh, no problem, that's what I'm here for." She grinned "now, I know you're smart, so you should know this, who sent me those flowers and teddy?" she asked and his eyes widened
"Sorry, the person told me never to tell you...ever." he stated nervously
"Oh come on! I want to know so I can thank them." she whined
"Nope." He smirked "I can't say; it's a secret."
"But-but-but... fine, but I'll find out one of these days, to be honest, I have a feeling I already know who it is anyway." She smiled
"Who?" he asked
"Sorry, can't say, it's a secret." She smirked at his reaction then walked into the lounge and jumped on the couch then pressed play to watch the cool fight as he sat down next to her to watch it. Meanwhile Superman had made it to the restaurant
"Hey." Alexis smiled "I already ordered for you."
"Thanks, but I can't stay." He said
"Someone need rescuing from an out of control Mecca suit?" she asked smirking
"There's some bad guys on the loose and the team needs me, which is also why I can't go to the races." He stated apologetically
"Aww come on, it'll be fun." She smiled
"My friends could've gotten hurt because I wasn't there last night, I can't let that happen again." He stated
"I understand, hmmm, tell you what, give me one hour and we'll call it a night." She reasoned "weren't you the one complaining on how you never get to see the city because you're always out on missions?" she asked smirking, he thought for a moment
"Ok, we've got one hour." He smiled. First they hit balls at the old Justice League satellite (has anyone noticed that?) "Ok gotta go." He smiled, next they headed to a concert "Alexis I have to go!" he exclaimed but she couldn't hear him, then next they went to a carnival,
"So, up for a snack? I know a great place on Titan." She smiled
"No, Alexis, that's it... I'm leaving." He stated then walked off as she put her hands on her hips.
"Brainy I'm sure he just got caught up, Alexis is a very tricky character to get away from." Roxy stated. "Listen, I'm goin out for something to eat, you want anything?" she asked and he shook his head and she sighed and walked off then saw Superman
"You talk to him now, he's upset now." She stated annoyed then carried on walking.
"Any luck with the scanners?" he asked
"Their cloaking is good, scanning from the field would have been more effective but it seems my partner forgot about our patrol shift." Brainy stated whilst working on something
"Oh no, Brainy I completely lost track of time." He apologized
"Lightning lad and Saturn girl took the shift." He replied monotonously
"What about tomorrow?" he asked
"I'll be going with Roxy remember." He stated
"What about the day after tomorrow?" he asked
"I'll be goin with Timberwolf after he gets back from Rimbour."
"This will never happen again Brainy, I promise, I'm sorry." He said apologetically
"I know." Brainy stated
"Superman, come quick!" Phantom Girl called and he walked over "this just came in." She stated and he looked at the screen as Wodehouse came into view
"It's Alexis, she's in trouble, hurry Superman!" he said urgently and the screen went off. He walked towards the door then turned back
"Maybe we should pass this on to the science police." He suggested
"Well, I know what Brainy would say." Phantom girl said
"Your friend needs you, go." Brainy stated
"Brainy, if you need me here, just say the word." He replied as Brainy walked down the steps
"It's ok, if anything comes up, we'll call you, so try to remember to keep your communicator on." He stated and Superman smiled then took off as Roxy walked in with a bag
"Ok one for Phantom Girl, and one for me." She smiled and handed Phantom Girl the food
"Thank you." Phantom Girl smiled and walked off with the food in hand.
"So where is he off too?" she asked Brainy
"Alexis is in trouble." He answered
"Ahh, what is she, a trouble magnet?" she asked shaking her head "now, how cool was that movie?" she asked smirking
"It was rather entertaining." He smiled
"Why won't you say 'cool' you have to say big words?" She stated
"Why do you not act your intelligence?" he countered
"I like to sound normal." She winked
"I'd rather speak in my natural way." He smirked and shrugged then went to finish something she'd started a week before. A robot was advancing on Alexis as Superman flew through the ceiling and punched it away and it landed on the game table, Alexis smiled at it charged at him and he dodged it, he punched it a few times then was knocked into the floor
"ooh." She mumbled wincing as the robot picked him up and punched him away into a metal thing and breaking one of the small bots. It jumped at him and almost crushed him but he moved and punched it hard as Alexis yawned bored. He picked it up and threw it into a screen
"Hey! Hey, that's enough, you're gonna wreck the place!" she stated as he picked it up by the neck, he turned to face her as the robot turned into Wodehouse
"Wodehouse?!" he asked shocked
"Terribly sorry to inconvenience you sir." He apologized
"Since you're here, wanna get some sushi?" she asked smiling
"What?!" he asked shocked
"Hey! When you wanna make plans with a super busy superhero, you gotta think outside the box." She smiled taping her head
"I don't believe this; I should be helping the legion find the Scavengers, you know the real bad guys who are on the loose?" he asked annoyed then went to fly off but she grabbed him
"Wait. I apologize, that was a dumb stunt to pull." She stated sadly
"So why'd you do it?" he asked
"I don't know, I just wanna be a regular person who hangs out with friends... but to do that, I need to have at least one friend." She said
"I know you want a friend, but my team mates need me, there's a difference." He stated
"Right, what I want is more important." And he sighed
"Look, don't do again ok?" he asked and shot off
"Wait!" she called but he carried on "hey I said wait." She stated angrily as Wodehouse rolled over
"Hmmm, I'm afraid I know that look." He spoke dejectedly
"Superman wants to make this a choice between me and the legion, fine... then I'll just have to do something about the competition." She stated nastily as she walked away. Meanwhile in a large underground area the Scavengers were hiding
"The men are getting sick of sitting here." Stated one of them
"Then tell them again that it's taking all our tech just to deflect the legion's scanning and Saturn girls mind probes, also we're using up all our power tryin to heal the men that the Zorainian girl almost killed." He stated annoyed "we leave here, they find us and she finishes the job since we're not strong enough to beat them, yet." He finished
"And how are we supposed to get stronger if we ain't out there scavenging up more tech?" the other asked and a large explosion blew the door away. Alexis walked through the smoke with Wodehouse carrying some machine parts
"So, the infamous Scavengers, please don't get up, I think you could use my help, and I need yours." She stated evilly.
"Roxy and I linked the Scanners to boost their range, nothing on the Scavengers, but look at this." Brainy stated and shown a picture of the solar system with a small flashing dot.
"Looks like a legion distress signal, who is it?" Lightning lad asked as Roxy tried finding out but shook her head
"We're not certain, Roxy can't decode the transponder." He replied as she tried some more
"No wonder, it's comin from inside the Aldt cloud, no-one can stand that kind of radiation." Saturn girl spoke
"Actually, two of us can, Superman?" he asked
"I'm on it." Since Roxy was busy. He sped off and then the alarm went off. Saturn girl put a hand to her head
"The scavengers." She spoke and the doors were blown off
"AWW MAN I JUST FIXED THOSE!" Roxy yelled as a load of Scavengers entered the room wearing high tech battle suits
"Thanks for coming, you just made taking you to jail, a whole lot easier!" Lightning lad exclaimed and shot one but it deflected and shot back at him, and they shot the others down as Roxy just stood there bored
"Apparently they've been upgraded." Brainy stated as Roxy walked up and helped him up
"You noticed?" Alexis asked whilst comin into the room in a large robotic suit "no hard feelings, I'm just here to clear Supermans schedule." She stated
"Aright, now this is just getting weird." Phantom girl said and the Scavengers shot at them so she fazed through the floor, Roxy turned her and Brainy intangible so the shot went right through them and the others flew off,
"Thanks Roxy" Brainy thanked her and she smiled as he ran off to distract them whilst Phantom girl stuck her hand through two of them
"Alexis, I never really liked your style, so kicking your butt is like a dream come true." Phantom girl smirked
"You're welcome to try." She replied and shot at her but she dodged as it shot and just missed Brainy by an inch
"ROXY WILL YOU HELP?" Lightning lad yelled
"Oh fine." She sighed and clicked her fingers, as she did a bolt of lightning shot down and charcoaled a load of them.
"Thank you!" he called down and she mocked saluted then phased through the floor as the Scavengers aimed for her. Meanwhile Superman had made it to the Aldt cloud and had found a floating container-like thing
"That logo... Alexis, what's she up to now?" he wondered and flew back to earth quickly. As lightning lad was being shot at he dodged then fired up towards the fire emergency system which sprayed water all over the Scavengers immobilizing them. Phantom girl flew away from the shots then through a door; she stopped and waited for a few seconds then flew back and punched the two that were attacking her. Saturn girl levitated on the ceiling then dropped down and kicked then punched the two after her then flew out and closed the door by breaking the locking system trapping them inside, but they blasted their way out. Roxy was fighting six of them since she was proclaimed most dangerous and since her necklace was still broke she had the powers of elements, morphing, flight and mind, she raised her head and sang
"Tain net nah gorlu dilei pesah!" she sang and they stopped in their tracks "I command you to attack yourselves." She smirked as they did as commanded "I love that power." And she phased through the roof. Brainy was dodging all shots fired at him as he punched two of the scavengers away
"Hey android!" Alexis called he turned and she fired as Roxy came through the floor and pushed him up to the vent
"Hurry." She smiled
"One down three to-" then she looked up to see Brainy disappear into the vents as Roxy crossed her arms and put a bubble around the robot then disappeared as Alexis sighed in annoyance. Saturn girl was ambushed in the hallway by two Scavengers but Brainy jumped on their shoulders and knocked them out. Somehow she'd escaped the bubble
"Good help is so hard to find." Alexis spoke and shot a rope at the two tying them up
"You know, it never would have occurred to me that I'd be so good at this kind of thing." And she chuckled as the scavengers surrounded the two "this is really fun" she laughed. Lightning lad came up behind her and shot her in the back... but it didn't affect her, she turned around as Phantom girl went to punch her but it bounced off and then she was smacked into Lightning lad. Roxy had met Superman outside
"Hurry dude!" she exclaimed "Alexis is attacking everyone." She spoke quickly
"Show me where." He stated and she grabbed his arm and phased him through the building and
"In that room." She stated pointing at a wall; he punched through it to see Alexis in a robot suit and aiming for Lightning lad and Phantom girl
"Alexis!" he exclaimed
"Hey." She greeted
"What are you doing?" he asked
"Do you really have to ask that question?" Roxy asked bored then she saw Brainy and flew over to help
"What's it look like? I'm making new friends." She smiled and one of the Scavengers shot at him so he went around punching them "so, you still pick your teammates over me?" she asked
"What do you think?" he asked as Roxy tried pulling the rope but she just got an electric jolt, and in her current form, that hurt.
"Uhh, WODEHOUSE!" she yelled and Wodehouse crashed through the floor and punched him away but Superman just used his laser vision and cut off his arms, and head
"Didn't think this through did we?" he asked as he went off line and Superman knelt next to Roxy who was blowing her sore hands then used his laser vision to cut through the rope
"Thanks... and you too Roxy for trying." Brainy smiled at her and she blushed a bit and smiled back
"Hey, what're friends for?" Superman asked and the others walked up beside him and each of them gave Alexis a dirty look
"Alright alright, I guess I got a little carried away." She admitted
"Ya think?" Phantom girl asked annoyed
"On second thought, if you're not gonna be my friend, I don't see why you should be anyone's." She stated nastily and shot the main laser at him but it had no effect as he just walked up to her
"Alexis... stop, you can't hurt me." He stated as he walked closer
"Huh?" she asked shocked and it blew up with too much pressure
"ALEXIS!" he yelled and flew through the smoke and came out holding her, her clothes were tattered and her head... was bald
"What- what did you do to me?" she asked
"Haha baldie" Roxy mocked as Brainy just looked at her funnily. A few days later she was in prison tryin to fix Wodehouse's head, finally it came online
"Good to see you again mistress, terribly sorry about what happened with the legion." He stated
"Actually Wodehouse, I'm grateful to them." She replied
"And why, may I ask is that?" he asked confused as she etched something in the table
"They helped me figure out what I wanna do with my life." She stated and brought the screwdriver down onto what she'd etched, which was a picture of the Legion symbol.
MY HANDS ARE DEAD!!!!!
