HWUAH! Let's get this going, alright people?

Clark: Are you going to do something stupid again?

E-EH?

Reki: Oy, Punku! I dare you to say that again! I'll whup you good!

Settle down, before both of you have to face Brainy's cooking wrath!

C+R: Yes Ma'am.

Right then! Let'sa!

STARTO!


When I woke up, I noticed three things almost immediately. One, it was now super dark, and I summarized that it was maybe ten after midnight. Two, I was lying in a very warm, soft bed. The sheets smelled like sweet hay, and I almost drifted back off to sleep, when I realized number three: Clark was staring at me.

"You creepy punk, do you always watch your guests sleep?" I muttered with a glare. He glared back, though it was greatly diminished. Especially by his chubby cheeks.

"I was making sure your heart didn't stop again." I sweatdropped. I sat up as I looked around the room. It was mostly bare, a few books and broken chairs were in the corner, and I found that the light source was a giant candle.

"So, on a scale of 'innocent' to 'I'm going to jail', how upset are you're parents?" Clark looked surprised.

"Reki, they aren't mad at you. They weren't mad at you to begin with, but they do wanna talk to you in the morning." I blinked, as my eyes got heavy. I patted the space next to me.

"Get up here. You're soft, and I need a teddy to sleep with." He gave me an amused look.

"You sleep with a teddy?" I gave him a smirk back.

"No, now I sleep with a Clarky."

Lights out...


"Huh, seems like you started to get along with Clark better. Though, I bet you were still a bit ticked off from the reveal thing, right?" Timber Wolf said from his perch nearby.

Reki nodded.

And actually, I can't tell you what happened next. Though, I can tell you what happened the next morning." Brainy straightened up.

"Why can't you say?" Reki giggled.

"Because, then I'd get erased." He paled, and she got up and padded across the room to get another candle. As she did, she recalled the event that happened during the night.


I woke up again, this time in a white...vastness. With chains on me. Oh yeah, and a bunch of Alien X wannabes around me. So, as you undoubtly understand, my first reaction was to scream my head off hysterically, in hopes it would annoy them into tossing me out.

"Please...stop...screaming...human..." One muttered, sounding distinctly male, though I ignored him in favor of raising a pitch, before the shapely one flew up to me and pressed her hand over my mouth, which made me stop instantly.

"Good, I thought she'd never stop." My instinct was to bite down on the hand and began firing confusing questions, but somehow I couldn't muster up the nerve to do so. 'She' removed 'her' hand and began to speak.

"Little one, you need not be afraid. We are the Celestinians. The creators of the entity known as the universe." I blinked.

"Okay..." I said dryly. The next one to speak up was a male.

"It isn't like she's interested in her fate. After all, she went and erased her existence so why are we even wasting time on her?" I felt the blood rush to my head, and I tried to bolt out of the chair.

"I DID NO SUCH THING, YOU COSMIC BASTARD!" I struggled again. "I was pulled into the water! I had no choice or say in it.' He made a noise that seemed like he was 'tutting' at me.

"Foolish little humans. You had admitted that your existence in your world was meaningless. You expressed the desire to give up on it, and just before the event you had been pondering the consequence of erasing yourself." I let my head fall down.

"Gee, I feel really loved right now. I think I'll go re-kill myself." I felt the females hand on my chin and my fasce was tilted up to look at her.

"Little one. We brought you to another dimension, because we felt you deserved more than just having your soul be recycled. We gave you a body in Superman's world, but we had to place you at a moment when you would have the most impact." I blinked at 'her'.

"Do you honestly miss your world?" I looked away. Did I? My art maybe, but I could always make new art. My friends? ...Just people I knew. My family? I fet so distanced from my family, it was unbelievable.

"No." Came my answer a few moments later. I felt my eyes suddenly itch, and I was pulled against the female Celestinian. "I...I don't get it. I couldn't cry when my grandmother died, or when my mother was injured, or even when my best friend died. But, realizing I didn't have an attachment to any of them, why does only THAT hurt?" I looked up at her.

"Does that make me broken?" She leaned down and placed a small kiss on my forehead.

"No, child. It just means you've realized a truth that all humans ignore. That, in spite of titles, numbers, dates, or any such thing, humans are distanced from each other by recognition of how little you know about each other. Your kind, each individual is truly, and utterly, alone." I moved my head to rest more comfortably on her shoulder, and felt a cold spike run down my back as I came face to face when the male Celestinian. In fact, all of them had moved closer without me noticing.

"Child, we recognized your pain in existing where you were not seen completely, and decided to put you in a place where your presence was appreciated. Are you comfortable with living in Superman's dimension?" I took a few moments to regard that, and nodded. "Then, you may stay there as long as you desire. However, you must follow three important rules." I straightened up.

"One: You must never reveal your true name. Two: You will never, ever, wish harm on your friends or comrades. and three: you will not interfere with events that are preordained. If you break even one of these rules, we shall send you back to your Earth. Understood?"

I nodded. The female Celestinian smiled and hugged me close.

"Be brave, my little one. I loved you as a human, and will love you as you will be from now on, as well."


Be brave? Yeah right...Reki thought as she recalled the various dangers she and Clark had faced upon her waking up. Brainy calling her name, however, pulled her off memory lane.

"What happened to make Clark not trust you?" She smiled nervously.

"Well, uh...see, that's pretty interesting, actually..." She continued to flounce through her words, when Clark took over for her.

"She set the bed on fire when she woke up screaming about some guy named 'Ben'." Reki sweat-dropped and karate chopped her little brother in the head. He glared at her and she smirked back. "Well, you did." Everyone started to snicker as they imagined a kid Superman and Reki waking up to their bed on fire.

"Tonikaku! After we put it out, I was adopted as Clark's half-sister, and I lived with him for a while. When his super-powers came in, I helped him train, and keep it a secret. Then, you guys came along." She said, nodding to the Legion. Saturn Girl smiled.

"You two were so surprised by our presence. I remember you holding a frying pan at Brainy saying something about, what was it? 'No alien abductions, little green space midget'." Both Reki and Brainy turned red from the memory. The rest of the room burst into laughter.

"Oh, urusai, all of you." That made them laugh harder. Cham calmed down first, and asked the question that had been raised by the previous account.

"Then, why are they all buddy-buddy now?" Reki smiled.

"I helped save Ferro-Lad from being destroyed during the Sun-Eater incident. While he was recovering, I helped Brainy put the Legion back together and he got around to liking me, I guess. A little bit later, in an event involving a few misunderstood aliens, Brainy, and a wedding dress that caught on fire, he declared me his little sister and actually cried when it came time for Clark and me to go back to our time." The Coluan turned red from his mention, and scowled at her.

"It was when I was first brought to the future that my powers activated, and I recognized Bammy as my weapon. I copied its third form from Brainy's arm cannon after a nasty run-in with Emerald Skankpress- er, I mean, Empress." A few snickers pointed towards an inside joke. At that point, the door opened to reveal Nivan, who was wearing a long grey robe now.

"It seems you were not ble to sleep either, huh-sura?" His voice was soft, but teasing, and for a moment the Legionnaires felt a bit ashamed. They had all been given their own rooms, yet migrated to this room to seek comfort. "No worries. I'll bring in the sheets and you can all sleep in here together-sura." Reki waved him off.

"As a space traveler I knew once said, 'I can do zat.' Just sit back and let me and Bammy do the work." She lifted the hem of her sleeve, reveal a bracelet that had a star printed on it. She flicked her wrist and the bracelet stood straight out.

"PiDoReMo, MiFaLa. Bammy, I call you!" She chanted, and there was an explosion of smoke, that cleared away to reveal a staff that had the star on the top that was shaped like a fan. There was a pink ribbon that wrapped around the top and twirled about her, and the staff head was a teal color, the star and dots surrounding it yellow.

"Ack! Whatchoo need nao, lil' misseh!" It crowed. Ron-Carr stared at it.

"Your staff talks." Reki looked at him.

"Yah."

"In an Irish accent."

"Yah." Without changing his expression, Ron-Carr snapped his fingers into a thumbs-up motion.

"Awesome." Reki grinned at him.

"I know." She addressed the magic-infused item. "Bammy, we need sheets for a sleep-over. Can you bring them in here?" The wand tilted, as though thinking.

"Ack, if it be yer wish, mah missus, I'll be happy tado it fer ya!" She smiled and began to spin the staff in her hand.

"DoReLa, ReMiSo, FaSoTi! Summoning: Sheets appear!" Several blankets poofed into existence over their heads, and the rooms occupants cried out as their sight was obscured by white cotton. Reki dug herself out, turning a disgruntled look to her staff.

"Mou ya! Bammy, be careful with your aim next time!" The staff leaned away in a frightened motion.

"SORREH! But ya know, mah aim's off cus ya nevah practice with meh anymore!" With that, Bammy turned back into its bracelet form, and the rest of the Legion managed to unbury itself.

"Well, before I get thrown into a volcano or something, I'll leave you all to rest now. I'll wake you in the morning." Nivan muttered as he dug out of the sheets, and walked out the door, closing it behind him.

"Geez, you'd think he wasn't humored by my magic." Reki muttered confusedly. Brainy face-palmed in the background.


Aight! Next chapter, the story developes! Read and review, my homies!

Translations:

Tonikaku: Anyway! As I was saying! or any other synonymous phrase.

Urusai: Shut up! Be quiet! Zip it!

And for those of you wondering, yes, Bammy has a Scottish accent not an Irish one, though to me Irish and Scottish sound the same, especially if both are drunk.
