A/N: Hello again. Special thanks to neomoon585 for being the first to review! Any little bit is really encouraging! I would like to ask for no flames though, however constructive criticism is welcomed. Here is chapter two! I need ideas, because I am currently on chapter 6, and I have hit the wall. Help! The writer's block must not win!
Disclaimer: Don't own LOSH. Sorry to disappoint anyone who wanted more seasons (myself included). However, I do own Alariah and all his weirdness.
Saturn Girl got out the cocoa mix, milk, and mugs, while Brainy watched curiously. She made enough for two people, giving on to herself and one to Brainy. He took a small sip, and his eyes widened in delight.
"It's really sweet!" He said, gulping down the rest.
"What are you doing in my kitchen?" Timberwolf asked angrily, storming in as soon as he knew someone was in there. He stopped cold. "Ummm…"
Brainy had run behind Saturn Girl, and was now trembling in fear.
"I-is the wolf gonna eat me?" He asked timidly, though he looked adorable with the small 'milk mustache' the hot cocoa had given him.
"Oh, no Brainy. Timberwolf is a nice guy who just looks a bit scary. He's really nice and bakes the best cookies in the known universe!" Saturn Girl reassured him. Brainy began to come out, then they heard someone snicker in the corner.
"Lyle…" Saturn Girl said in an annoyed-mother tone, "you better come out, or Brainy's going to be scared of an invisible monster.
"RAWR!" The corner/Lyle said.
"Ahhhhhh!" Brainy screamed. "What's in the corner?!"
"Not what, who." The corner/Lyle said. "Hi." He became visible.
Brainy stared at him, trying to make sense of what just happened. "A-are you another Ilearian?" He asked, his voice wavering.
"Nah, just Al is, and he's a bit stuck-up if you ask me, so I'm perfectly fine being human." Lyle replied. He got the look from Saturn Girl when he mentioned the Ilearian's name. Brainy retreated behind her once again.
And, as if he had been waiting for the moment, Al walked into the room arguing with Kell over something seemingly pointless.
"Yeah, well I think that's stupid and weird, and Brainy would totally agree with me if-" Kell stopped short upon seeing the small version of Brainy. "Who did this?!" He yelled. Kell loved to yell, and was always looking for an excuse to be angry, and Brainy had been working on making his flight ring more stable after Cham had sabotaged it. He had an excuse to be angry and he was gonna yell about it.
"Kell, calm down, it was just a lab accident." Saturn girl said, just quiet enough for Brainy not to hear.
"Is that another Ilearian?" Asked Brainy, clearly spooked.
"No, just a class 'A' jerk." Replied Saturn Girl. "Ok since I don't want you to freak out every time you meet someone new, I'm going to call everyone into the lounge."
She went into the lounge and called over the intercom, "All Legionnaires currently in the building, if you could please report to the lounge it would be greatly appreciated."
Soon all the Legionnaires had arrived in the lounge, speculating about why Saturn Girl had called them. She rarely ever called impromptu meetings.
"Ok, Saturn Girl, what do you need?" Cosmic Boy asked, annoyed that someone else had called a meeting without first checking with him. After all, he was the leader.
Nobody mention that this is the second time you've "met" Brainy. Saturn Girl thought.
Ok.
Second time?
Sure.
No prob.
Huh?
Were some of the responses she got.
One at a time! She mentally screamed.
Sorry. Was heard about twenty times, so it sounded like a huge echo.
"Ok," she said, out loud this time. "Everyone, this is Brainy." She lifted him up and sat him on the table.
"… hi." Was all he said, then he jumped of the table and hid behind Saturn Girl.
Cosmic Boy looked like a fish out of water. He was totally unprepared for Brainy being turned into a little kid.
"So, Brainy," he said trying to keep his composure, "when did you get here?"
Brainy ducked under the table, obviously uncomfortable with the situation.
"Brainy, are you going to answer Cosmic Boy?" Saturn Girl asked
"MY NAME IS BRAINIAC 5!" He shouted, surprising all the Legionnaires.
"Ok, sure, but can we call you Brainy as, like, a nickname?" Lightning Lad asked.
Brainy thought it over, then nodded shyly.
"Can you answer Cosmic Boy then?" Asked Saturn Girl again.
Brainy shrugged. This puzzled all of them. Was he saying he didn't know when he got there, or didn't know if he could answer him.
"What does," Cosmic Boy repeated the shrugging motion, "mean?"
"I don't know when I got here, but I'm glad I'm not on Colu anymore. Please don't make me go back!" Brainy said. He was really scared of being sent to his home world.
"Hey, it's ok, we won't make you go back if you don't want to." Cosmic Boy said. Then he noticed that Brainy had begun crying.
"R-really?" He sniffed.
"We promise." Superman said. This was the first time that he had spoken. Brainy's attention turned to the Teen of Steel, his eyes widening.
"I-is that Superman?" Brainy asked in amazement.
"Umm…yes?" Said Clark, obviously confused.
Brainy stared at him for a moment, then looked at Saturn Girl, lifting his arms signaling that he wanted to be held. Saturn Girl lifted him up and sat him on her lap. He whispered something to her so the other Legionnaires couldn't hear him. Saturn Girl's eyes widened. Whatever Brainy had told or asked her was obviously absurd. Kell, Superman, Alariah, and Timberwolf all frowned, (Except Al. He smirked strangely being the weirdo he is. XD) seeing as they had super hearing and probably heard what Brainy had said.
"Brainy you don't have to be afraid of anyone here, we're your family." Saturn Girl said softly, but the other Legionnaires had heard. So Brainy was afraid of Superman. That makes five Legionnaires that he had shown immediate fear of. And he'd only been formally introduced to six of them. Great.
They went around the lounge, the Legionnaires that Brainy didn't already know introducing themselves. Brainy seemed to like Cos okay, was immediately suspicious of Lightning Lad, hid from Colossal Boy, Sun Boy, and Nemesis Kid (Lighting Lad had commented on how the kid had good instincts, earning a playful whack from Saturn Girl), blushed at Vi and Dream Girl's introductions, and was utterly shocked when Phantom Girl phased through the wall to see what was up.
"Awwwww!" She squealed. "Brainy looks sooooooo cute!"
Brainy immediately ran out of the room.
Lightning Lad sighed. "Anyone up for a game of tag?"
R&R please! If you are the first to review the chapter, I will thank you in an Author's Note!
