A/N: I've been ready to post this for so long! Let me know what you think!

Disclaimer: I don't own LOSH. I do own Al, but I don't think he's in this chapter.

Brainy and Lyle walked up behind Lighting Dad. He was sporting a deep scowl. He hadn't had his morning coffee yet.

Brainy and Lyle plopped down in the two chairs on either side of him, and did their best to imitate his scowl.

Lightning Dad got up to grab his coffee. Brainy and Lyle both got glasses of chocolate milk. Lightning Dad sipped his coffee. Brainy and Lyle sipped their milk. Lightning Dad walked down to the monitor room. Brainy and Lyle followed.

By now Lightning Dad had noticed that they were up to something. He figured that he'd just ignore it and maybe they would stop.

It was quite early in the morning, and Lightning Dad was still a bit out of it, otherwise he would've noticed little Lyle sooner. This must be the 'playmate' Saturn Girl was talking about. He thought. Great.

He walked into the monitor room, and said hello to Bouncing Boy. Brainy and Lyle did the same.

"Ahahahahahahaha!" Bouncing Boy burst out laughing.

"What's so funny?" Lightning Dad asked. Then he heard two little echoes behind him.

"What's so funny?" Brainy copied.

"What's so funny?" Lyle questioned.

Oh no. Lightning Dad thought.

"They were copying everyone last night, but they couldn't find you to copy. I guess they just decided that they would do it now." Bouncing Boy explained.

"Great." Lightning Dad said sarcastically.

"Great!" Two jovial little voices copied behind him.

Lightning Dad face-palmed. Brainy and Lyle did the same.

Bouncing Boy rolled his eyes. "C'mon you two, Let's leave Lightning Dad alone for now." He said as he ushered the two boys out of the room.

"Can we do it to Cosmic Boy now?" Brainy asked hopefully.

"Sure! Have at it!" Lightning Dad said.

The two little ones ran out of the room, searching for their next victim.

"Bad idea, Garth." Bouncing Boy said.

"So? I can't wait for Cos to run out of his office screaming. Besides, they're just kids, he won't hurt 'em." Lightning Dad said. "And if he does, he'll have to answer to daddy."

Bouncing Boy smiled at that. Garth had become a little more protective of Brainy ever since he read him that story. Apparently Garth didn't want little Brainy to mistrust him again.

"You really are like a dad to him, you know. He idolizes you." Bouncing Boy said, referring to Brainy.

"Ha, yeah. Supes has gotta be jealous." Lightning Dad said, smirking.

The two shared a good laugh over that, then began talking about whatever crossed their minds. About a half an hour later, they heard a door slam at the end of the hallway.

"Why won't it end?!" Cosmic Boy yelled. He was running frantically down the hall.

"Why won't it end?!" Two little voices screamed joyfully, as Brainy and Lyle ran after Cos.

Bouncing Boy and Lightning

Dad waited until they were out of earshot, then burst out laughing.

OoO

Brainy and Lyle were in the lounge with Superman, the Trips, and Kell. The two little ones were building a puzzle, Kell was flipping channels, the Trips were playing three-way chess, and Superman was reading.

C.O.M.P.U.T.O. began to blink, signaling there was an incoming message. Superman got up to accept it, and was surprised to see the Coluan Hive-Mind Mistress.

"Ahhhhhhh!" Brainy screamed. "Lightning Dad! Make the bad lady go away!" He started shaking as he called out for anyone to help him.

"It's okay," little Lyle said. "She's not really here. And even if she was, Al and Kell and Superman and Lightning Dad and Cosmic Brownie would keep you safe."

Kell and the Trips looked at each other. Lyle had called the Legion leader Cosmic Brownie. That was pretty funny.

"Good thing Cos wasn't in the room." Kell mumbled.

Superman ignored all of this. "Hello, ma'am. How may we help you?"

"We had heard of Brainiac 5's recent, ah, issues, if you will, and wanted to warn you of his endless curiosity and antics." She said, sounding somewhat afraid, which is strange for someone who claims to have no emotions.

"Thank you, ma'am, we appreciate it." Superman said, then cut off the communication.

"That was weird." Purple Trip said.

"Yeah, she sounded really nervous, not at all like the arrogant robo-lady she's been every other time we've talked to her." White Trip added.

"Maybe Brainy was a trouble maker for them because they took him from his family?" Orange Trip suggested.

Kell shrugged.

"Instead of guessing you could ask him!" Little Lyle whispered loudly.

Brainy had been completely absorbed in his puzzle. "Ask me what?" He asked, now fully paying attention.

"Ummm…you know what, this sounds like a job for Kell." Purple Trip said.

"Agreed!" The other two said as they re-merged.

"What?!" Kell asked, astonished.

"You heard us! Ask him!" Trips said as she flew out of the room.

"Well?" Brainy prompted Kell.

Kell decided to play dumb. "Well what?"

Brainy gave him a don't-give-me-that-sprock look. Superman had to keep from laughing, because he looked just like the older Brainy did when someone did something stupid around him.

"Well?! What are you supposed to ask me?!" A frustrated Brainy said.

"Umm… did you cause lots of trouble on Colu?" Kell asked uncertainly.

"Yep!" Brainy said proudly.

"Ok, that's done." Kell said as he made for the door, but Superman grabbed his shoulder to keep him from leaving.

"Why?" Clark asked.

"They took me from my family, I feel like it was justified!" Brainy stated.

Superman couldn't help but laugh at that. "Ok, I guess it was."

Lyle was bored, so he ran out of the room. He had a way to make things more interesting around here.

"Wait! Come back!" Brainy yelled after him. When Lyle didn't return Brainy pouted. Then he fell back on the floor and let out a long, dramatic sigh.

Superman rolled his eyes. "I think someone's been spending a bit too much time with Al and Phantom Girl."

"Why? I like them. They're fun, and they don't tell me to go away when they're busy unless it's really important." Brainy said.

Lyle ran back into the room with a big box.

"Yay!" Brainy said when he saw that Lyle had returned. Then he saw the box.

"What's in the box?"

OK, I'm taking a tally. Tell me if you like sushi or not in the reviews, also please leave a review. No new chapters without reviews people! I promise the sushi thing will make more sense in the next few chapters.
