Chapter5-Never give up
It had been 2 weeks and 6 days of pure torture for Brainy...since Roxy wouldn't even work with him in school, he'd said sorry countless time but she didn't listen she just ignored him and carried on walking, she slept outside in the forest so she could enjoy the sounds...and stay away from him so not letting him know that she still cared for him, tomorrow would be the day they went back, and the day she travelled back to Nanguala, the rest of the team hadn't heard the news that she's put in a resignation and she didn't want them knowing until she'd gone. At that moment she was led in a hammock staring at the stars when a voice alerted her
"Can I come up?" it asked and she looked down to see the very person she didn't want to see
"No Brainy, you can't." She replied lying back down facing the stars
"Listen, I know you hate me but we are on the same team. Can I at least talk to you?" he asked
"Erm... let me think about that, how about NO!" she yelled and he flinched at the tone
"Please, I've said I was sorry so many times even I've lost count." He stated sadly and she sighed with annoyance
"Fine, but you only have five minutes." She stated clearly and he flew up and led next to her
"Roxy, I know what I did was wrong but and I'm truly sorry for it, It just happened never intended to do it, but for some reason I just did." He explained
"So that's your excuse, you didn't intend to do it I just happened?" she asked
"Yeah, recently something has been happening to me... I can't explain it because it's never happened before, it's like I've been upgraded without me knowing it, an upgrade of human emotions." He stated "it's like it wasn't that I wanted to shut you up...but I wanted to kiss you." He finished lookin at her but there was one problem...she'd fallen asleep. While he was talking she'd begun getting drowsy like his voice was soothing her to sleep, and soon enough she'd fallen into a deep sleep resting her head on his shoulder. He looked down at her sleeping form and smiled. He closed his eyes and fell asleep with his head rested against hers. Roxy woke up the next morning and noticed she was led on Brainys chest
"What the?" she asked confused and looked up at Brainy to see him asleep "I must have fallen asleep...but what the hell is he still here for?" she asked herself. He woke up and noticed her confused face
"Sorry, you kinda fell asleep and I didn't want to wake you." He stated embarrassed
"Kinda ruins the I hate you vibe...doesn't it?" she asked annoyed
"But I don't want you to hate me, if you'd of stayed awake you would know what I was so secretive about." He stated sitting up
"Then why don't you repeat what you oh so boldly admitted last night?" she asked
"The moments gone." He whined
"Just as I thought." She stated and jumped off the hammock he followed her quickly
"Why won't you forgive me?" he asked
"Because it was a horrible selfish and nasty thing to do." She replied
"Ok it was I agree there, but I've said sorry, why you can't just forget about it is beyond me" he stated and she stopped and faced him
"You know when I first saw you, I thought, I'll join the legion... just so I could work with you, but now it's more, I'll quit the legion, just so I can get away from you." She stated and walked off leaving him alone. A few hours passed and the time portal was up and ready to go, they were getting in and Meg was the last. Brainy put in the Coordinates and pressed the launch button and they disappeared, on to appear seconds later in the Legion HQ. Meg got out and looked around
"Whoa this is so cool." She stated in awe
"Thanks, ok the eel should be outside now," stated Lightning lad and they heard a loud screech
"I'm guessing that's it?" she asked looking at the large eel
"Yep that would be it." Stated Roxy and they made their way outside where the rampaging eel was
"Ok do as I say." She instructed and they nodded in agreement "Saturn girl, create a picture of an otter." She instructed and she did so, the eel looked terrified
"Roxy, Shock it Lightning lad you help." She told them
"Ok." They both stated and shot lightning at the eel weirdly enough it didn't go right through...but it hit it square on "be we already tried that before." Stated Roxy shocked
"I know, but that doesn't mean that you still can't do it, it needs to be scared for the attack to work on this one...he's kinda complicated." She smirked and shot it with a blue beam that froze it; she then took out a weird cube and pressed a button that sucked the eel into it.
"Well since my job is done... can I go home now?" she asked and Brainy smiled then turned on the time pod.
"There just get in and it'll take you home." He stated and she smiled thankfully then stepped in and it disappeared
"Hey... one question? Where's Roxy?" asked Lightning lad and Bouncy opened his palm to show a legion flight ring
"She left." He stated sadly.
"Where?" Brainy asked shocked
"She went home." He answered. At that moment Brainiac 5 flew off. Meanwhile Roxy had reached Nanguala and had reached the guards of the city
"Haru ubeilas iste tain zeu reii? (1)" they asked and she took off her necklace and reverted to he Zorainian form
"Ani wai dea dem siaoti. (2)" She answered and they opened the gates allowing access to the underwater caverns. She dived in and swam though the caves until she reached an opening that allowed access to a small lake with a waterfall plummeting into it she swam in and was greeted by a female Zorainian
"Roxy?" she asked
"Alu. (3)" she answered smiling
"Mii ye ije miare Dea fala tain! (4)" she smiled and hugged Roxy
"Tain Dea. (5)" she smiled accepting the hug (I'm just guna make them talk in English now)
"Are you ok?" asked the other Zorainian
"Yes I am... oh who am I fooling I feel terrible." She replied "Melody you have to have an idea what to do?" she asked
"First I need to know what's wrong." She stated smirking
"I left him... I should have forgiven him...but I didn't, I'm such a cow." She stated sadly
"First who is he...and what did he do?" she asked
"He would be a Coluan." And her friend gasped
"But aren't they hateful robots that think they're smarter than everyone else and hate everyone?" she asked
"Yes...but he was so different, he wanted to be human, I loved him." She admitted finally
"How could it have worked out...he's from a world metal and electricity...you're from a world of water...you're from two opposite cultures." She stated clearly
"We all called him Brainy because his hero name was Brainiac 5... But his real name always made me laugh." She stated
"Why what was it?" she asked
"Querl Dox." She stated and laughed and her friend burst out laughing as well "we recently went back in time... to find a girl called Meg she gave us all new names... his was Alex." She smiled remembering the incident on the roof
"What?" Melody asked who was suspicious at the far off look on Roxys' face
"What? Oh I was just thinking of a moment in the 21st century." She smiled sadly
"You miss him already?" she asked
"Yep, one problem...I'll never see him again." She stated downheartedly. Brainy had reached the guards
"Haru ubeilas iste tain zeu reii?" they asked and he looked confused but then remembered how Roxy taught him quite a lot of Zorainian
"Erm... Ani de reii dea fala Roxanne Collins (6)" he stated and they looked kind of... impressed
"How do you know our language Coluan?" one of them asked
"One of yours taught me quite a considerable amount, I have to see her." He stated
"I'm very sorry, but the only passage in is through the underwater caverns, it's very treacherous for a Coluan to make the dive." Replied the other
"There has to be another way in." He pleaded
"Ok, there is one more way, it's on the field but it's blocked off by a boulder, if you can get rid of the horrible blockage then you can access the main chamber there, all you have to do then is make your way to the small lake at the bottom and she should be there." They informed him he thanked them and flew up over the cliff and saw the boulder...it was huge, most likely a landslide he transformed into his larger form and blasted the large rock but it had no effect
"Well this isn't working." He stated annoyed so he grabbed the boulder and tried to lift it but with no luck. "Why is the whole bloody universe against this?" he asked no no-one in particular then he noticed a small crack in the boulders middle so he aimed for it with his gun and fired full power until it shattered into small rocks that scattered all over the field. The blast remained unnoticed by the Zorainians and he made his way down and ended up in the main chamber but as his smaller form.
"Roxy why don't you go back? You miss him so much already...and you only just left him!" She exclaimed
"I can't." She replied
"Why? It's not that hard." She stated
"But it is." She said back but got a blank stare "hello? Melody, Nanguala to Melody...you left your brain behind" she stated sarcastically
"Man if that's whom you're talking about then girl...can you leave him and let me have him?" she asked
"What are you talking about?" she asked confused
"That dreamy Coluan over there." She stated pointing at something. Roxy turned round in the water and gasped... there was Brainy looking tired and out of breath.
"What is he doin here?" asked Roxy
"I don't know...and quite frankly...I don't care, just as long as he stays I'm cool." She stated with a dreamy look on her face. Brainy noticed Roxy and walked over
"Roxy?" he asked
"What?" she asked
"Could you please just forgive me?" he asked and shook her head and dove underwater "I'm guessing that's a no." He stated sadly, he looked at the water and sighed and walked off sadly. She came back up moments after he left the city
"What the hell was that all about?" asked Melody shocked
"I couldn't do it." She stated sadly
"And why not?" she asked
"I don't know." She stated
"I think you should go after him...like one of those cheesy 90's movies." She smirked and Roxy looked at her unimpressed
"And why would I want to do that?" she asked
"Because he's still on this planet and you love him." She stated
"... Good answer." She stated and dove underwater and back through the caverns she came up at the gates "hey! Let me out!" she exclaimed and they opened the gates "do you know which way the Coluan went?" she asked in a hurry
"He went that way." They informed her whilst pointing east. She put her necklace back on and ran in the direction they pointed. Brainy was walking towards a small cruiser that he'd used to get there when a group of blue lizards with sharp teeth came out of nowhere. He transformed but they didn't back down but more appeared
"Oh just what I needed, a horrible death to end my pathetic life." He mumbled as one of them jumped at him but he dodged it
"MAYBE YOU SHOULD PICK ON A MORE HAPPY VICTIM!!" yelled a voice behind him, as he heard it a lilac bubble formed around him he turned round to see Roxy running up to him.
"You know you really shouldn't give up so easily!" She smiled and electrified the lizards they ran off scared the lilac bubble dropped and she ran up to him and engulfed him in a hug... which ultimately knocked them both over into a little thing I like to call...LIP LOCK! Few minutes after she let him go
"What was that for?" he asked stunned
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry I'm sorry I'm sorry I'm sorry." She repeated hugging him
"What for?" he asked
"I should have forgiven you." She stated
"You had every reason to be mad, what I did was stupid." He replied returning the hug
"I know that… But why did you do it?" she asked releasing him
"If you'd have stayed awake you would know by now." He smirked
"Well Mr Smartypants please do tell." She stated smirking
"On one condition." He stated
"And what would that be?" she asked
"You come back to the legion." He answered she thought for a moment then sighed sadly "you won't come will you?" he asked sadly and she smirked
"Of course I will, I was just messing with ya head" she smiled and tapped on his head
"Hey!" he whined
"Now spill." She ordered
"Ok I admit it, I didn't do it just to shut you up, the reason I've been acting strange is because it's like I've had an upgrade… of human emotions, it's not like I wanted to shut you up… but more like I wanted to kiss you" he explained and she blushed
"You- you wanted to?" she asked shocked
"Yes I did. Correct me if I'm wrong but doesn't that mean something?" he asked
"It depends." She answered
"On what?" he asked
"How much you wanted to." She stated and he smirked
"Does this answer the question?" he asked she looked confused but then shocked when his lips touched hers in a soft kiss be pulled away seconds later...to her dismay
"That better not have been to shut me up or something if it was then I'll slap you silly" she stated and he shook his head smiling "well if that's the case then..." she started and pulled him back. A few hours after they arrived back on Earth and he'd given her the flight ring back. She was welcomed back by the team
"Ok you two, answer one question..." started Lightning lad
"What question?" they both asked
"Are you two a couple... or not?" he asked and they both looked at each other shrugged and smirked "Is that a yes?" he asked and they both nodded "FINALLY!!!!" he yelled scaring both android and Zorainian "wait...prove it." he challenged
"How?" asked Brainy
"Lightning lad, they told you... what more can you have them do?" asked Saturn girl "don't be thinking anything rude."
"Kiss." He smirked they both looked at each other and smiled
"Fine by us." Stated Roxy and kissed him then pulled away "did that prove it?" she asked the shocked lightning lad
"Uh huh." He stated and everyone burst out laughing
"I miss Meg." Stated Timber-wolf and everyone looked at him confused "she loved wolves." He finished
"Oh well, she was taken mate." Smirked Roxy
"I don't miss her like that!" he defended
"Suuuuurrrre." Roxy mocked grinning then span round at a voice
"COWER IN FEAR PUNY EARTH DWELERS, I STAR FINGER SHALL DEFEAT ANY!!" yelled a large man
"Shall we?" asked Bouncing boy
"We shall." Lightning lad answered at the set off for another adventure starting with the stupid star finger.
