Disclaimer: Me: Hi everyone. Here's Chapter Seven.

MUST READ: Okay, listen carefully. I barely know the new Legionnaires, so I'm only using the ones I know, got it? Good. Also, some of the ideas behind Brainy's past is either something I've made up, or something I read from someone else. If it sounds like something you've wrote, please don't get mad at me for using it. Also, I might be gone for a little while only because me and my friend are working on our story Realm of Elements, so I'll come back to you guys as soon as I write the other chapters to this story.

Chapter 7: Superman Finds Out the Truth

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The Legionnaires sat around in the main lounge room, doing absolutely nothing, except listening to the silence of the room. None of them had anything to say to each other. All of them were still trying to cope with what happened to Brainy.

"I can't believe it," Superman said, braking the silence. "Brainy's been gone for two monthes now."

"I know, it's so quiet without him here to bug us for not reading one of his 300 million page papers," Lightning Lad said.

"I miss those pieces of papers," Phantom Girl said.

"And I missed how he used to argue on him not watching a classic movie with us," Bouncing Boy said, looking at the case-cover of his favorite movie.

"I just, didn't think he would leave the Legion like that," Duo Damsel said.

"We must respect his wishes," Saturn Girl said, obviously as sad as the others.

"Why would he leave us like that?" Superman asked, still not understanding.

"Superman, it ... he was forced out of here," Saturn Girl said.

"Forced? What do you mean?" Superman asked, looking at her.

Saturn Girl looked at the floor.

"I know Brainy wanted to tell you himself, but ... I think it would be better if I did," Saturn Girl said. "Which means, no interrupting me Lightning Lad. I don't want Superman to get the wrong idea."

Lightning Lad sighed as he crossed his arms over his chest.

"Fine, I won't interrupt," Lightning Lad said.

"Well, I better start at the beginning," Saturn Girl took in a breath. "The name 'Brainiac' isn't the nicest name to carry. The original Brainiac, or Brainiac 1, was made on Krypton. But, Brainiac knew that Krypton was going to blow up, so he downloaded Krypton's information and ... left as the planet was being destroyed. Between the time he left Krypton to when he arrived on Earth, he went to other worlds, reciving information on the planet, then destroyed the planet, and moved on. When he arrived on Earth, he tried to get you to travel the universe with him, to help him complete his so-called 'destiny', but you knew better then that, and found out the truth. Once you did, you stopped Brainiac, believing you got rid of him."

Saturn Girl took in another breath.

"But, he manipulated Lex Luthor some time later to rebuild his body. Still, even with the new body, you were able to stop him. Then, a while later, Lex and Brainiac fused together, but Flash was able to stop them. Making his body go super fast, he was able to force them to seperate from one another. Over some time, it seemed Brainiac was gone, but some Colu's found Brainiac's brain, or his brain on a chip, in outerspace. They built him a new body; the Colu's wanting to be much like him. Instead of completing what he thought he was meant to do, he began to create his succesor Brainiac 2. Near the completion of Brainiac 2, Brainiac began building a brain for Brainiac 5."

Saturn Girl took in another breath.

"After Brainiac 2 was built, Brainiac forgot all about Brainy, though their is more of Brainiac's knowledge in Brainy than in Brainiac 2. years later, after the complete destruction of Brainiac, Brainiac 2 began to build Brainy, like his 'father' had. Through mid-build years later, the Colu's had a 100-year-old war. Within the hundred years Brainiac 2 was fighting, he was destroyed, leaving nothing behind. So, for the next couple hundred years, Brainy was in lifeless animation, his old parts rusting and becoming useless. Then, closer to our time, the Colu's took the liberty of remaking Brainiac 5. They took off all his old parts, and rebuilt the body. He then came online. For a short period of time, Brainy lived on Colu, before learning of Earth, of superheroes, and of you Superman."

She took in another breath.

"He left Colu shortly after and arrived on Earth, taking a different form so people on Earth would trust him. Not many did. He heard of the Legion and wanted to get in, wanting to do some good. When the Legion started out, there wasn't a lot of us, and we didn't have a real base. So, to prove himself to the other Legionnaires (I believe in the beginning it was Lightning Lad, Cosmic Boy, and Saturn Girl), Brainiac 5 built Headquarters. It took him a full month, day and night, to build it. Though they still had some doubts, Brainy became a Legionnaire. He continued to try to prove himself, so he made the Flight Ring and COMPUTO. He tried really hard to fit in with us, but he still had Brainiac deep inside of him."

Saturn Girl looked hard at Superman.

"Superman, the person that drove Brainy away was Brainiac, who lived inside him. He somehow took control of Brainy, and used his body to attack the other Legionnaires at the carnival. So please Superman, don't be mad at Brainy. It wasn't his fault," Saturn Girl said.

Superman was silent as he tried to take it all in. He closed his eyes, and continued to stay silent. This worried Saturn Girl.

"Superman?" she asked.

Superman got up, and walked out of the room. He walked down the hall, and stopped infront of Brainy's door. He walked in, walked up to the bookshelf, took the books off the shelves, walked over to Brainy's desk, sat down, and began to read through the books. He wanted to make sure he understood everything. Out of the corner of his eyes, he saw Brainy's belt and ring. Once done reading through Brainy's books, he walked out of his room, down the hall, then out of the tower. He walked down New Metropolis and walked into the Superman museum. He walked over to one of the information things.

"I need information on Brainiac," Superman said.

The search engine thing looked up what Superman requested, and told Superman everything it knew. Superman sat on the bench two minutes after the search engine finished it's story. Superman stood up and walked back to the Legion tower. He walked into the lounge, and the Legionnaires looked up quickly.

"Superman, where did you go?" Saturn Girl asked.

"I went to read up on some things," he said, sitting down.

"And?" Saturn Girl asked, frightfully.

Superman looked at the floor.

"I learned," he said, "that Brainiac is the reason Brainy left. If I ever find Brainiac, I'll make him pay."

Saturn Girl lightened up a bit, but was still a little worried. Suddenly, the alert came on, and all looked at Timber Wolf, who was working at COMPUTO.

"We've got company," he said.

"Who is it?" Superman asked, standing up.

Timber Wolf tried to get the visitors on screen, but it wasn't working. Timber Wolf shook his head.

"I don't know," Timber Wolf replied.

"Let's go check it out," Lightning Lad said as they all flew outside to greet the newcomer.
