Back at HQ..
"..and so, for the last time, Phantom Girl, do NOT CALL ME PUPPY, or you will face the consequences!"
"Who's gonna make me, Timber Wolf?" Phantom Girl said in a childish voice.
Brin shook his fist at her, then dropped down on the couch, exhausted with dealing with her. They were all bored from waiting for Cosmic Boy.
"Look, if you two are always fighting...."
"Don't start now, Kell."
"Okay, okay, I was just trying to give you guys advice, you know."'
Phantom Girl raised her eyebrows at him, then said..
"What exactly do you knoiw about dating?"
Kell stared back without flinching. "Nothing. I've never dated anybody before."
"Then we should find you a girlfriend!"
Kell shook his head. "No way. I might damage the time-stream by doing that. Besides, I'm here to help you, not to find love for myself."
"Right. Oh well, we can all just sit here and wait for the others."
They shook their heads in approval and sighed.

In the control room..
"Brainy, are you done adjusting the controls in order for us to receive communication?"
"Almost done. Adjusting power sources."
"I think that should do it." Vi said, while she came out of the machine.
"Good job, Vi. I really wish I had you shrinking power. It's so fascinating," commented Dream Girl, while peering out the other side of the room.
"Well, yes, I'm quite happy with it, but everyone on my planet has it, and most certainly I inherited it from my parents, so it doesn't make me that special."
"Don't say that, Vi. You're just as valuable as any of us in the Legion," Brainy retorted, while walking over to them.
"I know, but, ..."
"Well,
everyone on my planet has the same kind of power as me. My parents
are the greatest prophets on our planet. I planned on becoming one,
but I decided it wasn't worth it."
"How about your parents,
Brainy?"
He looked away and hung his head down while leaning agaist the wall.
"Brainy, I'm sorry, I didn't mean to..."
Vi was too late. He ran away from the control room.
"Maybe you should go talk to him," Dream Girl suggested.
"Maybe I should," she replied sadly, as she walked from the room.
--
She found him in the balcony, crying.
"Brainy, I.."
He lifted his head up and looked at her while grasping her arms tightly. He broke down sobbing on the floor and she held him in her arms as he wept.
Vi looked on his face, streaked with rivers of tears as they flowed down. His crystal emerald eyes...
Then he stopped and got up.
"You asked about my parents."
Vi was too hurt by what he felt to reply.
"My dad is Vril Dox, also known as Brainiac 2. He was the descendant of 1.0..He's...he's dead."
Vi was shocked."I'm sorry...."
Brainy ignored her. He continued.
"My mother is Brianna Dox, also known as Brainiac 4. She...left me alone..when I was young.."
There was a moment of silence. Vi felt guilty.
"I..really..didn't..want to intrude...I'm sorry.."
He stared out in the distance, tears still gleaming in his eyes..
"Vi..."
"Yeah? I'm still here."
"Kiss me."
His words hung in the silent air. Vi stared at him.
"You..want me to kiss you?"
"You heard me."
Slowly, but surely, she inched closer to him, then their lips met.
Vi thought she could still see tears in his eyes. She wrapped her arms around him and cried.

Back to Earth....
"Damn it! WE HAVE TO STOP IT BEFORE IT REACHES EARTH!"
Lightning Lad was boiling mad. He was furious. The Eye had escaped them. It had. Now it was headed to Earth.
"Garth, calm down...please.."
"Imra, I don't need your judgement on this one. I can handle things myself!"
Saturn Girl was taken aback. She was angry at him now.
"Fine then, I don't want any part of this. I'm trying to help you Garth, you should see that."
"Whatever. Just, leave me alone!"
"If you wish."
Saturn Girl left, runnign away, and crashed into Starboy and Sunboy. She apologized and ran faster. The two Legionnaires looked at her as she ran away, quizically.
--
The Eye inched closer.
All it had to do was get closer.
Too late. It was seen.
"Please!!Spare me and my wife!!! Please!!!"
The Eye had no mercy. It didn't care. It got ready to eliminate the victim.
Run, Arn! Run! While you still can....
It hit the woman. She died instantly. All it had to do was get the man...
He was running away.............
But it had a clear shot, and he died within seconds.
In the distance, sirens echoed.
--
Back at HQ..
"Cosmic Boy, come in! Are you there?"
Cosmic Boy snaped wide awake. He had fallen asleep while waiting for the call. Now, here it was.
"Garth. Problem?"
"Yes, of course there is a problem! The Eye has escaped!" he said irritably.
"Headed where?"
"Headed to Earth-there!"
Cosmic Boy knew there was no time to waste. He ran from the room and to the lounge.
"Guys, the Eye is headed here!"
"We already know. Somebody's been killed." Phantom Girl said sadly, while watching the news.
"Where?"
"South of New Metropolis."
"And who was killed?"
--
Vi and Brainy ran back from the balcony to the lounge, upon hearing Cosmic Boy's order.
They entered and they were faced with a grim silence.
Phantom Girl ran forward and hugged Vi, tears in her eyes.
"Oh, Vi, I'm so sorry!!!"
Timber Wolf gently inched her away from Vi, with sympathy in his feral wolf eyes.
Vi didn't understand what was happening. Then she saw it for herself. On the news.
"..found dead were Arn Digby and his wife, Cyrina. Where ever their daughter Salu is, is unreported.
No. It can't be.
Her parents...were.
Dead.
"I'm so sorry, Violet. We'll track it down and destroy it." Kell said.
Vi shook her head and turned away. Brainy put his hand comfortingly on her shoulder, and she cried. She had never felt so alone in her life.
"Vi, do you want to stay here while we go after it?"Cosmic Boy gently asked, hoping not to hurt her feelings.
"I'd rather go after it with you....I'd avenge them willingly.."
"Then lets go."
--
In the Phantom Zone...
"I've subjected every single one of them under you control. Happy now?"
Drax shook his head in approval and smiled. His plan was going as planned.
They sealed the Phantom Zone temporarily and came out in disguise, with cloaks over their heads.
--
Vi raced into the crime scene, where the science police were. She jumped right over the police line and raced into the house.
"Hey, hey, you can't go in there!"
Brainy intervened.
"Damian, remember me?"
"Querl, I'm surprised you'd show up. Back to the Legion, huh?"
"Leave the girl alone, will you? Her parents just died."
"Really?So she's alive. But as much as I'd like to agree, procedure-"
"Procedure can be ignored for today, as far as I'm concerned."
Brainy crossed the line and followed Vi inside, much to Damian's surprise.
He sighed and decided to let them go, for now.
--
Vi ran all the way to where it happened, mindless of where she was stepped on. Broken pieces of wood and jagged glass scrathed and wounded her, but she didn't care. All she wanted to see was the fact that her parents were gone.
She couldn't believe it.
She kept running until her feet and arms hurt. Then she saw it.
No, she felt it.
It came.
She struggled against it, but she felt herself weakening.
The, nothing but darkness.
--
I can't absolutely do sad scenes. Wahahahaha. Give me suggestions on stuff, please..:D
Poor Vi.
