A/N: Hello again! Thank you to christlover and Green Sprout, I took the ideas/ requests that you posted and combined them for this chapter! Enter: Little Lyle! :D
Disclaimer: I still don't own LOSH. I still do own Alariah. :)
"Ummm, Saturn Girl, could you please come to the lab?" Shrinking Violet's voice was heard over the Legion comm link. She sounded pretty shaken up.
"Of course Violet. Be right there." She replied. Saturn Girl flew there as fast as she could. Then she stopped in her tracks upon arrival.
"Vi, what happened?" She asked.
"Well, Lyle and I were trying to figure out what went wrong and caused Brainy to de-age, and when he touched some of the wires he was shocked, this weird energy glowed all around him, and he ended up like this." Vi explained.
"Well, one thing's for sure, Brainy will be happy to have a playmate." Saturn Girl said, looking at a de-aged Lyle sprawled out on the floor.
OoO
Saturn Girl was not expecting Lyle's reaction to being in a strange place. She expected it to be similar to Brainy's. She was wrong.
"Whoah! What's this place?!" Little Lyle yelled in excitement.
"Um, this is the headquarters of the Legion of Superheroes." Saturn Girl replied hesitantly.
"Cool! Why am I here?" He asked.
"Lyle, you live here." Saturn Girl responded.
"Whoo hoo!" Lyle yelled. "I live with superheroes!"
"X'hal! Be quiet!" Al yelled. He had odd sleep patterns. The Legionnaires blamed it on his childhood.
"Why is the wall talking?" Lyle asked.
"That's Al. He's on the other side of the wall silly." Vi said, laughing her signature laugh.
"Lyle, how old are you?" Saturn Girl asked.
"I'm four an' a half!" Lyle said proudly.
"There's someone else around your age that we'd like you to meet." Saturn Girl said.
OoO
"Pleeeeeease?" Brainy begged outside Al's door. Al hadn't been shushing Lyle, he'd been shushing Brainy.
"X'hal, no! I'm tired! I don't want to play 'Bug Kell Until He Shoots Lasers at Us'!" He replied, annoyed. That was Al's favorite game, so if he didn't want to play he was pretty tired.
"But why?" Brainy whined.
"X'hal child! If you keep this up I won't get any sleep! Ask the others what I'm like when I'm tired! Go bug Kell by yourself! Pelt Garth with snowballs! Mess with Cos until his brain falls out, I don't care! Just leave me alone! I'M TIRED!" Al yelled.
"Fine!" Brainy yelled, and left.
OoO
Brainy walked into the Lounge in a huff. It was honestly really adorable to see a almost four-year-old this annoyed.
He looked up, and saw little Lyle holding Saturn Girl's hand.
"No! She's my mommy! You can't have her!" Brainy yelled.
He charged at Lyle trying to imitate Al's battle cry.
"Brainy stop!" Saturn Girl yelled. "I'm not Lyle's mommy." She said. "He's going to be staying with us for a while, and since your about the same age we thought that you two might get along well. You'll have a playmate that isn't too busy to play with you."
Brainy thought this over for a while. "Ok," he said, "but you're not his mommy." He stated.
Saturn Girl chuckled. "Alright, I'm not his mommy."
"And Lightning Dad isn't his daddy." Brainy said firmly.
"Lightning who?" Saturn Girl asked. She wasn't sure she heard him right.
"Lightning Dad!" Brainy said happily. Then he grabbed his new friend's had and said, "C'mon! I'll show you all the stuff! It's really neat!"
Saturn Girl smiled and went off to find Lightning Dad.
OoO
"Garth?" Saturn Girl called outside his room.
"Come on in Imra!" He replied.
"I think that Brainy has forgiven you." She told him.
"Yeah, I figured." He replied.
"How?" She asked.
"I read him his bedtime story last night, and he mumbled 'goodnight daddy' as I was tucking him in. What makes you think he did? You didn't read his mind, did you?" He asked, concerned.
"No." She chuckled. "He calls you 'Lightning Dad' now." She said, trying to suppress her giggles.
"I'm Lightning Dad!" He said happily.
Saturn Girl laughed. "Yes, well our little Brainy has a playmate now, so be nice."
Lightning Dad's eyes widened.
"What?!"
For those who want to know Al's backstory, I have begun writing it, it just is like a tie-in thing with another fic I am writing, so it wont be posted for a while. That, and it's not finished yet. Oh! Also, Little Lyle has a big box next chapter and I need help figuring out what's in it. Leave your ideas in the comments!
Reviews are appreciated!
