A/N PLEASE READ: Thank you to those who have been reviewing! It makes me super happy! I am now asking for suggestions, because I am almost out of ideas and the story would be done after only 8 chapters! I just need randomness to get my imagination going again!

Disclaimer: I don't own LOSH. It was my birthday not too long ago, maybe DC could give it to me as a belated birthday gift? I know, I know, it's never gonna happen. I do own Alariah, because he is crazy and awesome and way too childish for his age.

Brainy was out in the lounge playing with one of the three Triplicate Girls, while the other two, along with the rest of the Legionnaires, were in the Meeting Room listening to Saturn Girl.

"I asked Brainy how old he is this morning, and he said he'd be four in a week. I doubt Colu celebrates birthdays the same way most other worlds do, so I want to throw him a little party." She began.

"Ok, but in case you haven't noticed, he's extremely curious, and it would probably be hard to hide the plans for an entire party from him." Cosmic Boy said. "And who's gonna tell Al and Phantom Girl about this? She's still trying to get Al to let her cut his hair short!" Cosmic Boy began ranting about how some of his teammates argued over the most absurd things, but Saturn Girl gave him a small mental jolt to make him be quiet.

"I've already told them. I'm a telepath, remember? And as for hiding it from him, we could plan it in small bits, and since Trips can divide herself he'll always have a playmate if we're on a mission or we need everyone to plan for some reason." She reasoned.

"Alright…" Cosmic Boy said. He wasn't too keen on the idea of having a four-year-old's birthday party at HQ, but it was like Saturn Girl had said. He probably never had a party before. It was the least they could do.

"Are you done yet?" Asked a small, muffled voice from outside the door.

Saturn Girl smiled. Brainy was out there trying to figure out when they would be done, and the Orange Triplicate Girl was trying to get him away from the door.

"Almost, Brainy. Please be patient." She said.

"I'm only three, it isn't logical for me to be patient." Brainy replied.

Everyone in the room laughed at that. Brainy pulled the I'm-only-a-kid card on them.

"So are you done?" He asked hopefully.

"Yes, sweetie we're done." Saturn Girl said, exiting the room.

"Yay! Can we play a game now?" Brainy asked.

"Well, most of us are busy at the moment, but maybe later." Said Saturn Girl.

"But Mooommeeeeee!" Whined Brainy.

Everyone stopped and stared at him. Did he just call Saturn Girl mommy?

"What?" Asked Saturn Girl, astonished.

"You said you're my family, and I want you to be the mommy." Said Brainy. He didn't get why everyone was staring at him. "Did I do something wrong?" He asked, fear finding its way into his voice.

"No, no! We just didn't know that's how you saw things." Said Saturn Girl.

"Y-you don't want to be my mommy?" Asked Brainy, his lip quivering.

"Oh, I never said that!" Replied Saturn Girl. "Brainy, I'm not your biological mom, but if you want me to be your mother I can, at least for the time being."

"Really?" Brainy asked.

"Really." Saturn Girl said In a reassuring tone. Brainy jumped into her arms and hugged her as tight as his small arms could.

"I have a real mommy now." Brainy said, to no one in particular.

"What do you mean a 'real' mommy?" Asked Saturn Girl.

"On Colu, I never met my mother because the government took me from her when I was too little to remember her, so I pretented I had a mommy when the workers who had to watch me weren't in the room." Brainy said. He looked a little ashamed of himself.

Maybe this was why when he first joined the Legion that the only one he would listen to was Saturn Girl. She was like the mother figure of the Legion.

"So…" began Phantom Girl. "If Saturn Girl is the mommy, then who's the daddy?"

"Lightning Lad." Brainy answered, without missing a beat.

Lightning Lad looked like he was gonna be sick. Brainy had just said that he was the dad. Brainy said he was the dad. He stood there with his mouth open wide. Did he hear that right? Did Brainy really claim that he was the dad?

"Did… did he just say that I'm the dad? Lightning Lad asked, out loud this time.

"Yes, Garth." Saturn Girl said, who had also heard his repetitive thoughts.

"Is that bad?" Asked Brainy.

"Umm… maybe?… not really…" Lightning Lad said. He was being very indecisive.

"Brainy looked at the floor. "You don't have to be the dad if you don't want to."

Lightning lad was about to say something, but the alarm went off.

"What is it?" Asked Bouncing Boy.

"A search and destroy mission. The president of the United Planets thinks that her men have found the Scavenger hideout and she wants us to check it out and destroy it if it is. Phantom Girl, Bouncing Boy, Star Boy, Colossal Boy, Kell, and Timberwolf, I want you on this one. Shrinking Violet, I want you at C.O.M.P.U.T.O coordinating their attacks and strategies." Cosmic Boy ordered.

"Yes, sir!" They all mockingly saluted him.

"Hey…!" Cosmic Boy said.

They all left for the ship, leaving everyone else to have dinner alone.

"They're back! They're back!" Brainy yelled as he ran into the lounge the next morning.

He ran out of the room again and up in front of Phantom Girl. He put his arms up, signaling he wanted to be carried. Phantom Girl was more than happy to oblige.

"What's that?" He asked, pointing to a beautiful red gemstone on a chain around her neck.

"Oh, Puppy got that for our six month anniversary. I can't believe we've been dating that long!" She said, giving Timberwolf a dreamy look.

"Puppy?" Asked Brainy.

"Her nickname for me." Timberwolf said, blushing.

Superman came up to inspect it, because he was mildly interested. However, as soon as he got within two feet of it, his mood seemed to drastically change. The change was so sudden that he winced in pain, and Alariah and Saturn Girl flinched.

"Bah, so what? It's just a shiny rock." Superman scoffed.

Phantom Girl had put Brainy down and defended her Puppy. "Well, I never asked your opinion, and I thought it was very sweet when Puppy gave it to me, so you can keep your comments to yourself!"

Superman rolled his eyes at her.

As Superman left the room, Brainy went up to him, "Superman, do you want to-" he began, but Superman cut him off and pushed him back and down.

"Not now, runt! Go play with some whiners your own age!" He yelled.

And with that Brainy began to cry. Alariah went over to him, expecting Brainy to push him away, but instead Brainy clung to him and sobbed into Al's long black cloak.

"Wh-why d-did Superman h-hurt me?" He stammered, still sobbing.

Al looked like he knew the answer, but he simply said, "I don't know," and tried to sooth the child.

Is that true? Saturn Girl asked him telepathically.

Nope. I know exactly why he acted that way. Al replied.

Then why? Saturn Girl wondered.

Tell you later. He thought hastily.

"Ok," Cosmic Boy said. "We need to keep Superman from ruining anything, because he's obviously not acting like himself."

Al raised his hand enthusiastically, like a third grader ready to answer a math problem.

Cosmic Boy sighed. "Yes, Al?"

"Do I have permission to use unnecessary brute force?" He asked, trying (and failing) to keep a straight face.

"Sure," Cosmic Boy sighed again. He was going to regret that decision.

Al dashed off in a black and silver blur before Cosmic Boy could change his mind.

"Alright Legionnaires, let's get that super-fool!" Yelled Lightning Lad.

PLEASE READ THIS TOO!: R&R people! Your reviews are what motivate me! :) If anyone wants to know more about Al, let me know. I will post a oneshot about his past, but only if people actually want to know.
