Chapter Seven
We're friends
"What's up with him?" Psykick asked. Brainy was moodily working on a new invention.
"Oh, Superman had to go to Alexis, again. If you ask me, he's been seeing far too much of her," Lightning Lad replied.
"You're just jealous she didn't see you first," Psykick joked.
"Am not! I mean how many people have you spent like five hours each day when before all you did was save them from a wild flight?"
"Hmmmm. Good point. Poor guy." Psykick floated towards Brainy and placed a hand on his shoulder.
"Hey, so what you workin' on??" Psykick asked with a sweet smile. Brainy felt his chest flutter.
"Something simple, it is like your Chidori. Except ten times the amount of usual ki in a Chidori goes into it. Superman heard of it and claimed it to be a "cool" move," Brainy said, rewiring something.
"So, where is Superman?"
"With Alexis."
"You know if you ask me, he's been seeing far too much of her, gawd it's like he's...I dunno, going out with a giant squid, the more he tries to escape, the tighter she hangs onto him," Psykick remarked. Brainy gave a hearty chuckle. Psykick stared at him.
"You can laugh?"
"Of course I can," Brainy replied.
"But, I thought Androids couldn't... Oh nah. You're different. I was once isolated you see. My dad wanted me to train, plus he also knew..." Psykick stopped.
Brainy cocked his head. Was she about to say something about Garu?
"Oh, just, he knew the kids wouldn't like me because...I was psychic. And anyways, he gave me two android friends, Johnny and Elisa. They were alright, sure they listened and followed my every command, but, they weren't real, he couldn't program them well enough. So they ended up trying to kill me but then... You know you just turned me maudlin." Psykick looked like a little girl who had lost her favourite toy. She looked like she was gonna say something about Garu once more. Psykick got up and faced the exit.
"At least you took advantage of them when you were young enough to play. Admit that," Brainy smiled.
"I'll admit something, you're more human than any of us Legionairres could ever know. Take advantage of that," with that she left. Brainy felt his chest was malfunctioning because of the increasing flutters.
Suddenly there was huge crash.
"Holy Shit! It's...Alexis?! And the Scavengers!" Psykick's voice trailed. There was a sound of birds chirping.
"Chidori!"
Brainy had ran into the hallway, there was Alexis inside her servant robot's, and there was only one big scratch on the robot's chest.
"Her Chidori could only do that?! That's impossible! Her Chidori is probably the strongest move or attack we've got on the Legion!" Phantom Girl flew in through one of the walls and fruitlessly tried to go through the robot.
"DAMN!"
"Tut tut, superheroes aren't meant to swear," Alexis's voice called out from an invisible intercom.
"You know Alexis, I never liked your style and kicking your butt is like a dream come true for me."
"You go! Phantom Girl!" Psykick yelled as she stabbed one of the Scavengers with a kunai knife. She cleared her way soon enough and had an open space between her and Alexis.
"What you gonna doYesterday Girl? Stab me?" Alexis taunted. Psykick smirked and activated her imperfect Byakugan her red eye just turned a light shade of violet, she was checking for some weak spots.
"Damnit! There are eight, this calls for the shuriken and kunai!" Psykick thought.
She took out four throwing stars (shuriken) and threw them up into the air in a semi circle formation and flew up so her right hand was level with the shuriken. She had four kunai knives and she threw them with ace accuracy as they hit the shuriken. The shuriken flew into the shoulders of Alexis's robot and the kunais went onto the legs. Psykick landed and smirked.
"That outta do it!" she smirked to herself, "In a few moments it'll just break down."
There was a crash.
"There it goes. It's getting boring how predictable my enemies have become," Psykick thought to herself. But the crash wasn't Alexis, it was...
"Superman?!" Psykick called out in disbelief. "The fuck?! Where have you been?"
"Never mind that! Where is everyone?!"
"Take a look about, they're...gone?" Psykick looked around.
"Looking for your friends?" Alexis taunted.
"WHAT?!" Psykick thought to herself, Alexis was fine.
"Alexis leave them alone!" Superman yelled.
"Not unless you leave them and be my friend!"
"You're an inhumane and sick existence Alexis!" Psykick yelled. Alexis merely smirked. She pointed her two arms at the fallen Legionairres. Each were on the verge of an energy blast.
"So what will it be?" Suddenly there was a weird zap. Psykick looked at Superman. He nodded and with all his might he sent an energy blast to Alexis from his eyes.
"Just what I thought. His ki is far more unique than any of our's. It was only thing that could penetrate her robot," Psykick thought. Suddenly, the Robot completely crashed and there was smoke everywhere. Brainy, Phantom Girl, Saturn Girl and Lightning Lad had by then regained concsiousness.
"The hell?!" Psykick yelled.
"ALEXIS!" Superman flew into the smoke and grabbed Alexis from the oncoming explosion.
There was an almost bald Alexis lying in his arms.
"Looks like some baldie is getting her ass screwed in jail!" Phantom Girl smirked. Psykick and Lightning Lad burst out laughing.
Brainy walked off, he felt weird, a happy yet disastrous day had happened, what could he feel? He almost lost his best friends and his life. His unrequited love for Psykick didn't seem so, unrequited anymore. Just a friendship.
"That was a good thing you did, both of you," Brainy stated emotionlessly. Saturn Girl looked worriedly at the young android. But Psykick was faster.
"Brainy," she faced him, her red eye shining at him.
"I just wanna say, we're friends," Psykick thrust her hand out to him. Brainy squeezed it with a reassuring feeling rising in his chest.
Well guys I'm sorry it took me a total eternity but plz dont kill me! Review!!!!!
