Third chapter, Yee! Season two is next week! (squeals) Brainy's my age now!…I think…how old was he in the first season anyway? I think I read somewhere that he was thirteen…I know he's the youngest but just how old is he? Can anyone tell me?
Disclaimer: I do not own LoSH
Superman, over the past few hours, had to restrain himself from smashing his head against the nearest brick wall several times. He thought that a younger Brainy was trouble…know he was on a sugar high!
"Heywherewegoing?yaknowweshouldgoonaroadtrip,thatwouldbefun.wouldn'tthatbefun?ithinkitwouldbefun.yaknowwhatsreallyfunGOLF!causeyouswingastickaroundanyouhitaballanditgoesFWOOSH!andploplandsinapondoh!anddidItellyou-"
"Brainy SHUT UP!" Bouncing Boy said exasperated.
"No you shut up!" Brainy stuck his tongue out at him.
"Bouncing boy don't teach him to say things like that!" Phantom girl yelled at him.
"How can I teach him anything1 He's a twelfth level intelligence!"
"Not right now he's not, at the moment he's a small child and your leaving an impression on him. He looks up to you ." Saturn girl retorted.
"Well duh, he's the shortest one here…" Timber Wolf muttered.
"Nyaha, you got yelled at." Brainy smirked and made a face at bouncing boy.
"Why you…" Bouncing Boy growled and as they landed Timber Wolf had to hold him back so he wouldn't hurt the poor android.
"Let me at him, I swear I'm gonna-"
"Calm down Bouncing Boy." Lightning Lad said, like he had it all under control.
"Huh?" Bouncing Boy paused in his rant to raise an eyebrow at Lightning Lad.
Lighting Lad smirked, "I grew up with brothers remember? I know the right way to get revenge without actually hurting them."
Superman gulped as he watched Lighting Lad sneak up on an unsuspecting brainy. He started freaking out when he grabbed Brainy in a head lock and grinded his knuckles into his head.
"Nyaaaag! Leggo! Leggo!" Brainy shouted in protest as he squirmed around trying to escape the evil noogie of doom.
"Say uncle." Lighting Lad said grinning, he had always wanted to do this to the android but the potential danger of laser cannons always stopped him.
CHOMP
"YEOW!" Lighting Lad yelped as he pulled his arm away, Brainy's teeth held stubbornly onto his arm though.
"Get him off! Get him off!" Lighting lad shouted trying to shake his arm free. Superman finally managed to pry Brainy's teeth apart so Lighting Lad could get his arm free.
Brainy glared at all of them while they let him free a moment after. He rubbed his aching head,
"Meanies!" He said blowing a raspberry at them.
Before any of them could stop him, he flew off at top speed and not even Superman could keep up….must have been the sugar…
"Brainy come back!" Triplicate girl shouted after the small android worriedly.
"You don't know where you're going!" Timber Wolf shouted
They stopped chasing Brainy a few minutes later because…they had no idea where he was.
"We lost him!" Phantom Girl exclaimed.
"I hope you're happy you two." Saturn Girl snapped at Lightning Lad and Bouncing Boy. They looked away a little guiltily
Superman groaned, this was the part of being a big brother he would have liked to avoided….he lost the little brother!
Meanwhile….
The masked man placed the two of the disks onto a small plate and a second later they flashed and were gone. He smirked,
"The other two disks have been sent to you, and Marco sir."
"Good, Teeto, you better take good care of that other disk….your free to do what you want with it until the time is right, but you had better put it to good use."
"Right, good luck with the rest of Nexus, Kempler sir."
"No luck needed, I have this…" Kempler responded, it was like you could hear the smirk in his voice as he received the disk.
Teeto shut the transition off then started walking away, he walked over to an arm chair and lifted a small and glittery red and black cape and attached it around his neck, he lifted a top hat out from the chair next and placed it precariously on his head. He looked in the mirror at his master disguise.
"Who knew being a circus ringleader in my spare time could be so….rewarding…" He sneered as he looked over at his desk, spilling partly out of one of the drawers were many stolen jewels and loads of money. He took one last look at himself as he moved back over to a curtain, he pulled It open to reveal fifteen long lines of children. All of their eyes were clouded over and very glassy, they were being mind controlled by the chips power.
Teeto smirked as he tossed and caught the chip, "Alright brats, one more show and then go to work."
Meanwhile, somewhere in New Metropolis…
Brainy sat on a billboard, looking down sadly.
"I shouldn't of yelled like that at big brother….but that still was really mean of them to do." Brainy pouted and rubbed his still sore head.
"I shouldn't of ran away either…cause now I don't know how to get back to big brother." Brainy Looked around, none of where he was looked familiar. He sighed when he noticed he had red paint chippings on his had. He stood up and found out he was covered in them. He shook them off then turned round to find out how he got the paint chippings. On the bill board he was sitting on, where the huge letters.
Teeto's Tantalizingly Terrific Circus of kids.
All children circus,
Adult fee: $27
Kids: FOR FREE!
(Rule is acceptable for children under the age of 14, any higher must pay the adult fee.)
Come and see the show, 7 times a day 7 days a week for the next month!
Brainy's eyes brightened, if he went to a circus he could probably find a grown up that could tell him how to get back to big brother, and he would even get to see a circus show at the same time!
Brainy immediately flew off, flew back because he forgot where the address is, asked a random cop on the street where the address is, then flew off again knowing where he was going.
He landed in front of a large blue tent in a park somewhere and walked up to the ticket master. He was surprised when he found a short boy with red hair in the ticket booth, looking kinda dazed.
"I'd like to get in, are there anymore seats?"
"Are you a kid?"
"I guess so."
"then there's room, go ahead." the kid droned and pointed to the curtain.
Brainy waved bye then marched through the curtain and took a seat in the front row. He looked next to him to see a small black haired girl next to him, she looked about 4 - 5 years old.
"hi!" Brainy said,
"Hi hi!" she said waving slightly.
"What are you looking foreword to most?"
"I dunno, I don't know what the acts are…but I hope they have trapeze people!"
"Me too."
She smiled to reveal two holes where teeth should be, "My names Janey, what's yours?"
Brainy grinned, "Brainy."
Janey giggled, "That's a funny name."
"no it's not." Brainy pouted and she giggled again.
"I'm sorry, look it's starting!!" she shook his shoulder and pointed upwards as the lights dimmed.
Teeto, the ringleader stepped out into the spotlight. He looked all around at the children gathered up front, soon they would be under his control…like the others.
His gaze faltered and he frowned as he looked directly in front of him, there sat the android he had stolen his source of power from in the first place.
How is he still alive?! He thought, if Kempler finds out I'm finished….but maybe.." He smirked inwardly. If I can get him under my control I can have him do the dirty work tonight and then finish him off for good.
"Boys and girls! I welcome you to Teeto's Tantalizingly Terrific Circus! And to your parents, get ready to hold on to your children, because this show, will BLOW THEM AWAY!"
There was a roaring applause from the children and he waited for it to calm down, "Now are you ready for the best show you will ever see?!"
"Yeah!" The kids replied.
"Alright that was pathetic, I said ARE YOU READY?!!"
"YEAH!" the kids screamed back and all of a sudden all the children in the circus burst out on stage to greet their audience.
The circus raged on, and Brainy felt his voice crack from screaming too much, he didn't notice that the ringleader was staring at him every few seconds, until he caught him once and waved. Teeto immediately looked away and pretended he hadn't even noticed him.
Pretty soon….4hours later…The circus ended and adults started to gather their children together. But all at once, they all had an excuse to stay for a moment then ran off by themselves. This included Brainy and Janey, who's eyes clouded over for a moment then returned to normal. They brightened like they had realized something important and immediately they rushed off away from Janey's mother.
"Janey! Wait1 where are you going?!" Janey's mom called after her as she and brainy ran together until they came to a stop in front of a large curtain. The calls of children's' names echoed on the inside of the tent as the parents desperately tried to get their children back as they were ushered out of the tent without them. They didn't know that they wouldn't hear an answer as they were forced out of the tent. They searched and searched for their children outside, incase they had been carried away by the crowd but none of the parents could find their children.
Worried calls and crying could be head from mothers and fathers. Janey's mother looked around frantically, her sweet little girl was gone.
"Janey! Where are you!!" She cried.
Two days later..
Well bouncing boy, you wanted excitement, and now you've got it! Bouncing Boy thought to himself ruefully as he looked at the science police reports that had come in. For some reason they had been swamped with reports of missing children and finally, they had decided something was going wrong here that had been out of their hands. So guess who was stuck with investigating. It didn't help that he still felt that pang of guilt every five minutes because he was one of the reasons Brainiac 5 had run away. He and Lightning Lad was never hearing the end of it from the girls, all Superman could do was pace around, thinking of places brainy could be.
timber wolf groaned as he walked over to Bouncing Boy, "No luck with the robbing reports, how's it coming with your half?"
"Same, I mean it doesn't make sense. All of them were missing from the same spot, yet none of them could be found around it."
"And which spot is that?"
"Some Cheap looking circus ground, the ringleader apparently could advertise a better show than one he put on. I wonder where those kids all got to….and how did they all go missing at the same time?"
"have they searched the grounds?"
"The ringleader wouldn't allow it…said he didn't want his actors to be exposed to things like this."
"…am I the only one who thinks that just screams suspicious?"
"Believe me, if hadn't thought of that from the first report I read, Brainy would have blown a circuit at my stupidity if he were…ya know…himself." Bouncing Boy finished. Timber wolf walked over to video he had been sent by one of the stores that were being robbed. As well as missing children, robbery reports where pouring in by the dozen. This one seemed to be a jewelry store, he watched carefully as the camera's caught a fuzzy glimpse of the store. Timber Wolf choked on the coffee he was drinking when he saw what looked like a long GREEN arm stretch through the ventilation system and disconnect the camera.
"Guys, take a look at this!" He said as he replayed the video, the other legionnaires gathered around the screen. They gasped when they saw the arm.
"Computo, freeze the image when I say so…..now!" Superman ordered. The video paused so that the back of the hand was in focus. "now can you make that image a little bigger? On just the hand."
The picture blew up so that the hand was just a big blur and on one of the fingers was a small yellow blur, it was shiny but it was round, they squinted really hard and managed to make out a small black L.
"Brainy!" Saturn Girl exclaimed.
"what the heck is he doing?" Lightning Lad said as he looked at Brainy's hand. The image wet back out again to reveal very short shadows at the window…they seemed to be wearing very complex clothes because the shadows were all deformed. Then they noticed something they hadn't noticed before.
On Brainy's hand was the letter T in bright red.
Bouncing boy stared at it, then at the flier for Teeto's Tantalizingly terrific circus. The same shade of red, the same calligraphy….
"I know where those kids are…and where brainy is."
Back in the tent….
Teeto stood in front of his army of children, they had stolen from banks, jewelry stores an museums successfully for two straight days. He only let them out of the trance for half an hour each day so they could rest and their brains wouldn't turn to complete mush, after all, they would need them later.
He pressed the middle part of the chip and suddenly the children woke up kinda dazed from the trance. They looked around to find they were trapped in a giant metal room with only one small window and the only door locked.
Brainy shook his head as he got the sleepy feeling out of him once again. He hated being here and he hated how that bad man was making I'm do bad things. Whenever they were let off of the trance, he was always by Janey's side. Not that he had a choice, she basically clung to him every chance she got anyway.
Brainy looked down sadly as he heard her sniffle, she looked up at him, her big brown eyes full with water, "Brainy I-I don't like this place…I miss my mommy, I wanna go home." She started crying and Brainy hugged her.
"don't cry Janey, My big brother will save us."
She looked up at him, her eyes streaming, "H-he will?" she asked in a soft voice.
Brainy nodded, "Him and my other friends, they're all really smart and strong….they'll figure out where we are….they'll figure it out." He told himself quieter as Janey started crying again, only a little softer. I wish you guys would hurry…
As if on que, the children all looked towards the door, when they heard a loud crash and the thud of someone hitting the door.
The bigger children plus Brainy stood in front of the younger ones as they heard someone come to the door,
"Kids! Brainy are you in there?" Phantom girl called through the door.
"yeah! We're in here help!" Brainy called back.
"Hold on!" Lightning lad shouted as he through a huge bolt at the door and it blasted off. The legionnaires flew in, minus superman, and checked on the kids. Triplicate Girl ran over to Brainy and hugged.
"Your safe, thank goodness, we've been looking all over for you!" All three of her triplets exclaimed at once.
"Hate to spoil the moment but if you haven't noticed the bad guy is still loose!" Timber Wolf shouted as he dodged a blast from a plasma cannon on Teeto's part. Brainy managed to dodge a blast aimed at him, running away and screaming.
"Brainy, stay back, we'll take care of this guy!" bouncing boy shouted but was interrupted by a small and shrill scream. Teeto had Janey backed against a wall, his cannon aiming straight for her small heart.
"Janey!!" Brainy hollered, before he could realize what he was doing, his arms extended and punched Teeto's face in so he went flying back, clutching his face in pain. Brainy's arms scooped Janey up and brought her over to him where it was safe.
"You okay?" He asked.
"Uh huh." She said quietly, a bit shaken.
Brainy put her down then looked at is arms, "…Cool! I had no idea I could do that!" He grinned.
Meanwhile, since Teeto was doubled over in pain, superman took the opportunity to pick him up by the collar of his shirt and glare at him, "Now tell me, how did you hypnotize all of these kids and why?"
Teeto glared at him ,"You'd be surprised what type of power your friend had hidden in that big head of his, it will prove most useful to my boss an the plan."
"What plan?" Lighting Lad asked getting frustrated.
Teeto smirked, "You think I'd really tell you?" He tried to grab the chip off the ground but Superman was too quick as he picked it up before him.
"No! Give that back! My power source!"
Superman glanced at the chip, it had three white dots in the middle in the same pattern as a coluans.
"I think you mean Brainy's power, we'll be taking this back thanks."
Before Teeto could respond, Triplicate girl kicked him hard for blasting at her. Teeto glanced up at the legion for a moment then fell over backwards as he fell unconscious. ….Loser.
A few hours later…
The kids cheered as they ran to meet with their parents. Every parent of the missing children had been called to be told that they had been found, including Janey's mother.
"Mommy!" She cried as she jumped into her arms. Janey's mother hugged her and laughed, happy to have her little girl back. Brainy stood back a ways, letting Janey reunite with her mother.
"Mommy, mommy! This is my friend Brainy, he saved me from the bad man!" Janey struggled out of her mothers grip and grabbed Brainy's hand and brought him foreword.
Her mother smiled, "Well thank you very much Brainy, you and your friends are welcome in our home anytime."
"Thanks!" Brainy grinned and waved bye as Janey left with her mother. His fellow legionnaires walked up behind him and started to lecture.
"You shouldn't have run away like that Brainy, you really ha us worried."
Brainy bowed his head, "I know, I'm sorry, I won't do it again promise."
Lighting lad smirked, "Yeah, yeah okay squirt, just stick to that promise or else." He gave him another noogie only a little more gently and playfully this time.
"Ack! Okay ,okay, I get it stop!" Brainy laughed as he struggled. After making sure all the kids had been safely returned home, the legion took off with the youngest member once again.
Superman smiled but glanced down at the chip he had in his hand. Whatever it was it was something important to Brainy…and could just be the reason why he was acting so strangely.
Yeaaahh…sorry if the end kinda sucked, I really did try hard but my mind is so full right now it's hard to write. Don't be mad at me please T-T. I kinda included Janey cause I thought brainy would need a friend while he was under Teeto's control, and I think she'd be a nice character to include n other stories once Brainy gets his brain power back. And as for the name Teeto….I just picked a name at random out of a hat….seriously I did! MY HANDS HURT!!
