Part 2: Legion of Superheroes

- them falling in love with you all over again, even after they've seen every aspect of you, but deciding to stay because you're simply WORTH IT.

They had met as teenagers, Brainy a realist with a severely out of programming case of hero worship and Clark an idealist finally able to be open with who he was so the first time in his life. Amazingly, after a few bumps, one with red hair, they got along very well.

That was not to say that they did not have arguments. There would always be things that Brainy could not tell Clark, for fear of ruining history, and there were things Clark tried to keep hidden for fear of disappointing those around him.

Falling in love had definitely been unplanned. Finding out that the feeling was mutual had been statistically unrealistic. Beginning a relationship and it lasting should have been impossible but it wasn't and the relationship beat the odds.

They were young adults when they started to "time share" as Clark liked to joke. A week in the past. A week in the future. A week in their own times doing their own things. Sometimes the time in each time period was longer. Sometimes those planned out weeks were skipped due to other issues at hand and made up messily without a schedule that Brainy should have hated but found that he really didn't mind.

Nothing lasted forever. It was something Brainy always tried to keep in the back of his mind but sometimes forgot whenever Clark kissed him.

Brainy had gone from robot, to, a green, human early in the relationship. A close call on a mission turned Brainy from human to cyborg, a few organs having to be replaced by cybernetics to save his life. Outwardly there wasn't a difference but Brainy felt different.

The last thing Brainy expected to see when he woke up from surgery was Clark next to his bed, on one knee, with a ring.
