Hey guys! Sorry for the late update, things have gotten really busy lately. But here I am, with a nice long chapter for you. Hope you enjoy it!
Disclaimer: I do not own Losh, I do however own my OC's.
Bouncing Boy closed his eyes as he stepped through the portal, after all the only way he had really traveled was by time bubble….he had never flown in the time/space continuum without one before. So truthfully it was no wonder he felt dizzy once he got to the other side.
Slowly the swirling colors faded behind him and he could open his eyes to his knew surroundings. Only to find that…they weren't so new. He was about to ask if they had even gone anywhere, for in front of him was the same exact legion control room. However, his question was interrupted when he felt a small hand tug on his.
"Papa!" Isuzu called up to him and he looked down smiling. Sure it was a little weird to be called a father all of a sudden, but once he got a good look at Isuzu he knew he couldn't be to freaked out.
The young man leaned down to his daughters level, "What is it Isuzu?"
The little girl tugged on his hand once again, "C'mon we gotta go find Felix! He missed you too!" While she tried to tug her father along, she started grabbing for triplicate Girls hand as well.
Bouncy blinked confused, "Felix? Is he the family pet or something?" He guessed when Isuzu burst into laughter.
"No silly! He's my little brother!"
"That's BIG brother!!" An angry call came from the other side of the room. The future couple jumped upon seeing a small white and orange bouncy ball blur come bouncing from the other side of the room then suddenly pop back into the form of a little boy.
Isuzu pulled the bottom of her eyelid down and stuck her tongue out at her twin brother, and in result he started chasing her around in circles, "I thought I made it clear, I'm two minutes older!!"
"No, I'm two minutes older!" Isuzu called back, hiding behind her father and looking smug as Felix froze. He only just noticed their new company. While the other legionnaires chose to smile or snicker at the antics of these bickering twins, triplicate girl instead decided to lean next to her future son and hug him. He was just too cute to resist, he was like a mini bouncing boy only with white hair.
"H-hi Mama…h-hi Papa…"Felix flushed embarrassed for acting the way he did in front of his parents. That's when he realized that these were the past forms of his parents and shook his head clear of the cobwebs he had gained form seeing them again, "My name is Felix and uh, I'm your other child. Me and Isuzu are twins…..she likes to think she's the oldest…"
"That's cuz I am the oldest bleh!!" she added, sticking her tongue out while still holding onto her fathers pant leg for security.
Bouncing boy patted her head and smiled at Triplicate girl, all of a sudden feeling really happy having met his two future children.
Suddenly, a loud high pitched squeal erupted in the room as a pink and brown blur rushed into the room, heading straight for lighting Lad and Brainiac 5.
"Daddaddaddaddaddaddaaaaad!!"The blur repeated happily as it charged for the two males. Immediately figuring out who this one belonged to, Brainy nonchalantly sidestepped out of the way, still holding Lilly, to let the blur crash straight into Lightning Lad.
"What the-GAH!" Lighting Lad choked as he was bowled over by the blur and went crashing into the wall behind him. After recovering for a moment, he glanced down to see a little brunette had attached herself to him, nuzzling him affectionately and smiling happily, "I missed you daddy!"
The little girl didn't have a scar like Aaron, but her uniform was definitely similar. It was pink and white like Saturn girls and through the Saturn on it was a lightning bolt, only this Saturn was pink not red like Aaron's. She had brown hair the same rusty brown as Lightning Lad's and his same impish smile.
Aaron sighed and put a hand on his forehead, "Xandra, please try and control yourself, we're trying to be as professional as we can here…"
Xandra looked up form her reunion with her father and blew a raspberry at her older brother. Suddenly, she noticed who was standing next to him and her blue eyes brightened significantly. The young girl jumped up with such energy that Saturn girl almost found herself falling over like Lighting lad when she was hugged tightly around the waist like he was.
"Mommy!!" Xandra cheered. Saturn girl stared down at the strange and hyper little girl before patting her on the head affectionately, she had had a feeling she was her daughter. Definitely took after lighting Lad though, while Aaron took after her.
"Hmm…well there's two. You said there was three of you right? Where's the last munchkin?" Lightning Lad asked. Aaron raised a finger to try and explain when a loud crash interrupted him and all attention was cast toward the door on the left hand side of the room.
"Chikushou!! Aaron why the hell are all of the files stacked up like this??!!!!" A young girl's voice screamed form inside.
"Eheh, I found Sarah…" Aaron pointed out sheepishly. Suddenly a grey and black blur phased through said door and seized him form the front of the shirt, shaking him back and forth angrily.
"How many times have I told you, if you can't find a specific spot for them go and find a different cabinet!! Baka!!!"
"S-s-Sarah!! Q-Q-Quit it!!" the poor boy managed to yell to stop his head form rolling off of his shoulders. Sarah stopped abruptly as her friend blinked dizzily after being treated like a life sized bobble head.
"Gomen-na." she muttered dropping Aaron as he fell backwards with a groan. Slowly, the beautiful girl's eyes swept over the newcomers to the side of her, who until now had gone unnoticed. Her stares stopped abruptly when her gaze came to Timberwolf. Her eyes widened in recognition then twisted into a scowl, her fiery eyes glaring. Feeling a little uncomfortable under her heated look, he raised an eyebrow confused, of all the children they had met this one looked the oldest, and the most like him. She didn't have fur, true, but her eyes were the same gold with red pupils. She had shoulder length black hair and her ears were pointed at the ends.
There was no doubt, this was his daughter.
"What the hell are you all doing here…." She growled reproachfully, her eyes mercilessly piercing each one of the original legionnaires accusingly.
Picking himself up off the floor and dusting himself off, Aaron gave her a stern look, "Sarah, you know bloody well why they're here. I know you don't like it but we can't afford to do things the way we have been, we can not do this alone anymore." He flinched when Sarah angrily turned back to him.
"I know that dipstick but I've asked you time and time again why does it have to be them?! The least you could have done is left him behind!" She jabbed her finger towards Timberwolf, seething.
"What did I-"Timberwolf started but was cut off once again by his daughter, who had thrown her hands up in the air
"You know what? Fine, do whatever the hell you want Aaron. But I'm totally against this and always will be! I'm going on my effin patrol, don't bother me until I come back! And you!"She whirled around pointing at her supposed father scowling. "I advise all of you go back to where you came from now. You don't seem to have a problem abandoning people in the future, might as well start somewhere!!"She finished, not bothering to phase through the exit door but instead slam it as hard as she can behind her.
This time everybody flinched, feeling quite awkward from this outburst.
Aaron sighed and sat down, putting his face in his hands and muttering, "Oy vey…"
After a moment he looked back up apologetically at everyone, "Try not to take what Sarah says to heart, she actually a really nice person once she gets used to know you…..unfortunately all of you leaving didn't exactly settle well with her, especially since you've been gone longer than you were supposed to be.. She's just a bit angry about the whole thing…"
"A bit? She looked like she was ready to rip out my teeth with her bare hands…" Timberwolf stated gruffly, looking a bit confused.
Aaron scratched behind his head sheepishly, "Well…..out of everyone here I think she's the most angry at you…as you can probably tell."
"Perfect…."Timberwolf growled sarcastically.
"But uh, I'm sure that will go away with time! Just, err….try to keep interacting with her." Aaron tried looking really stressed out form the whole thing. Saturn girl placed a hand on his shoulder.
"Why don't we give her a break to blow off some steam like she wanted, and meanwhile we can all get settled in, alright?"
Aaron smiled gratefully up at his mother, before standing up once more, "Right, well, Felix Isuzu, you show your parents where they stay. Xandra, can you take mom and dad to their room? I should probably show Brainy his quarters so he can put Lilly to bed at the same time."
Blinking in confusion, Brainy glanced down at the little one still in his arms and noticed that she had fallen asleep, content in her father's arms. Her mouth was slightly open as she breathed softly with a small smile on her face. He couldn't help it, Brainy found himself smiling just a tiny bit as he felt something melt a little inside of him…he would have to check on that later.
"Thanks, that would probably be a very good idea…"
"Aye aye mon capitan!!" Xandra saluted, taking both of her parents by the hands and leading them away. Felix and Isuzu doing the same, only fighting over who would hole who's hand.
With everyone gone, Timberwolf was alone in the control room, having been promised to be shown his quarters once Aaron got back. He sighed, resting his head in one of his hands, "Hopefully I at least turned out to be a better parent than my father….."
Sometime later….
Well, Sarah had finally come back of her own accord….three hours after her patrol shift was over….and sat down moodily, completely disregarding her father's existence, to his dismay.
Aaron sat in front of Computo and opened up a file, a long list of names popping up as he did so.
He turned to face everyone else, "This, is the list of escaped criminals form Tacron Galtos, courtesy of the fatal five." He turned back to the screen to read off the names, squinting at it with difficulty. Lighting Lad and Saturn girl turned to each other worriedly at their son's obvious difficulty with reading.
"The legion of super villains, the fatal five, Starfinger, Alexis Luthor, all of the scavengers we've managed to catch, Grimbor the Chainsman, the dark circle, and of course, they thought it'd be nice to release comet and cupid and spread even more mass panic in new Metropolis….again…."
The legionnaires sweat dropped at the long list in front of them, apparently they were going to be spending a lot more time in the future than they had thought.
Aaron sighed tiredly.
"Well, that's pretty much what we're facing. The rest depends on all of you and you're abilities…..any comments?"
Sarah blew some hair up out of her face "We're all gonna die." She looked up nonchalantly with her eyes at the alarm system as it went off, "Told ya so."

Okay, since this chapter's over and I'm bored here's a profile of the kids so you can get a brief overview of each and can know things about them I fear I won't get to in the story.
Oldest to youngest:
Sarah Londo:
Superhero name: Unkown, she has yet to decide
Age: 16
Parents: Timberwolf and Phantom Girl (Brin Londo and Tinya Wazzo)
Hair: Black
Eyes: Yellow and orange (her daddy's eyes X3)
Powers: Phasing and ….whatever you call Timberwolf's…she gets most of her powers from Timberwolf.
Personality: Though she doesn't act like it now, Sarah is actually a very sweet and caring girl. Her anger towards her father mostly comes form her feeling of abandonment by him and the rest of the legion. Though some of the lesser known legion are there to help out (including the substitutes…) Sarah feels and overwhelming sense of insecurity, at this age she is having difficulty controlling her powers much like her father did. Although her rebellious attitude and dry humor are foreboding qualities about her, Sarah, much like a real wolf would, is quite protective of her younger comrades and thinks of them like family. Like Lilly, she's managed to learn Japanese well and whenever she feels the need to yell at somebody, she often does it in said tongue. Although she is smart, Sarah prefers to be a woman of action and leave the tactility to people like Brainiac 5 and Felix. She seems to be particularly close to Lilly, and Aaron.
What you don't know about her: Her favorite holiday is Halloween (XD) Her favorite food is sushi, Her favorite books are (Twilight!! Lol no jk) Series of unfortunate events and the Spider Wick Chronicles. Her favorite movie is Labyrinth. She knows almost nothing about her grandfather, except for his name and his work. Timberwolf has tried his best to protect her from his haunting past and so far has done a good job. She does not know that Timberwolf himself was treated as an experiment and she also doesn't know that her grandfather is still alive. She can't cook worth a shit, one of the few qualities she shares with her mother. Her worst subject is actually science, much tot e frustration of her long time teacher, Brainiac 5. Like any teenage girl, now that she has been forced into a real school atmosphere due to the absence of said teacher, she has trouble making knew friends. However, though she does intimidate and is mocked by her fellow students, despite her unusual appearances she does in fact get quite a few hopeful suitors. Much to Aaron's discomfort, as Aaron and her may have feelings for each other !(O.O)
Aaron Ardeen-Ranzz:
Superhero name: Dusk Storm (his Saturn symbol is red like at dusk….i dunno )
Age: 15 (he's 7 months younger than Sarah.)
Parents: Lightning Lad and Saturn girl (Garth Ranzz and Imra Ardeen.)
Siblings: One little sister, Dawn Storm (Xandra Ardeen-Ranzz)
Hair: Blonde
Eyes: Bright blue
Powers: Lighting blasts and mind reading
Personality: Aaron, for the most part is a quiet boy, he seems to be a lot like his mother except for in battle, when his father's hot headedness seems to make itself a lot more evident. Like both his parents, he'll do anything to protect those close to him, and will proceed to kick your ass if you step over the line. Since he's so quiet all the time, Aaron's morale during battle can sometimes go out of control, making him go into a certain unstoppable rage that only Sarah and his mother can seem to calm down (with the exception of Lilly form time to time.) Kinda like white Haru and black Haru form Fruits Basket only Black Aaron kinda goes into the avatar state at the same time lol (if you don't watch avatar the last air bender, you won't get it.) Overall he's a Loving and dependable boy who does his best to keep his sister (and sometimes Sarah) out of trouble as best he can. He misses his parents while they've been gone but he knows that their duty's to the legion are important to not only him but the world. He knows that they'll come back someday and though he gets worried form time to time he's usually the one reassuring everyone and more frequently, Sarah.
What you don't know: His favorite band is actually bowling for soup, strangely enough. He gets annoyed with his sister a lot, but with his mother's boundless patience he keeps himself together pretty well around her. He chooses not to read as often as he can, because he has Dyslexia. His scar did not appear on his face when he was first born. Actually, the scar appeared because when he was four he tried to practice with his powers but it shot back coincidently onto his face. Having grown up with her, Aaron considers Sarah his best friend and has even grown romantic feelings for her. However, due to her already insecure state, he chooses to keep it to himself. Although he does drop hints form time to time and it has been shown that Sarah may have already guessed about his feelings for her, and feels the same way as well. Aaron seems to understand Sarah best besides her father and mother.
Xandra Ardeen-Ranzz:
Superhero name: Dawn Storm
Age: 11
Parents: Lightning Lad and Saturn girl
Hair: Rusty brown/red.
Eyes: Bright blue
Powers: Hypnosis and lightning blasts.
Siblings: One big brother , Dusk storm(Aaron)
Personality: Xandra is the most cheerful and hyperactive of the group. Her parents often wonder if Cham managed to plant some of his genes into her brain once she was born when they weren't looking. Either way she is a very kind little girl and considers her position in the legion seriously (one of the only things she takes seriously) She has quite a temper like her daddy, and is no where near like her brother.
What you don't know about her : She's the one who took the last cookie from the cookie jar (lol). Xandra actually misses her parents to the point where she starts crying in the middle of the night sometimes. Her brother is the only one who knows about this (he hears her thoughts when she's crying and goes to comfort her) because she knows the others miss their families just as much as they do and she wants to be strong for all of them like her big brother and surrogate big sister (Sarah). Aaron has assured her he'll keep her secret as long as she keeps telling him how she feels and when she needs to cry about it come and talk, don't keep it inside. (unfortunately he can't get Sarah to do the same) Her favorite play mates are the twins.
The twins-
Isuzu Taine:
Superhero name: Multiplication lass
Age: 9
Parents: Bouncing Boy and Triplicate Girl (Chuck Taine and Luornu Durgo)
Hair: Black with purple white and orange highlights.
Eyes: black
Powers: she can multiplicate herself to any number she wants, not just three like her mother.
Siblings: One brother, Rebounding lad. (Felix) it's often argued who is the older twin, based on height it could be Isuzu, based on maturity it could be Felix.
Personality: Isuzu is probably the second most cheerful of the girls, however she keeps it in check a little better than Xandra does, and in perspective a lot more serious. She loves her older teammates and younger comrade to be very much and thinks of them as siblings. Her and her brother squabble a lot (mostly about their age and who is the boss of who) Although in most ways she resembles her mother, she does share several qualities with her father. For example, she wears goggles to pull back her hair, like her father had at one point, her black eyes come form him as well. She also shares his love of piloting the legions ships (however she has not done so without help yet) and ancient cartoons.
What you don't know about her: She likes to tease her brother and other teammates almost as much as her father does, but she knows when enough is enough like her mother. So all in all she's a good balance between both parents. When being homeschooled, she had trouble settling down for Brainy to actually teach her, but now that he and the other adults are gone her and the other children have to go to regular school. Because of her strange hair color, the children in her school make fun of her (despite some of them being aliens and kinda strange looking themselves.) She also loves to sing (her partner usually Xandra)
Felix Taine:
Superhero name: Rebounding Boy
Age: 9
Parents: Bouncing boy and Triplicate Girl
Hair: Snow white
Eyes: dark violet
Powers: …same as his fathers.
Siblings: One sister, Multiplication girl (Isuzu)
Personality: Felix is a lot like Aaron, being the only other boy in the group he naturally looks up to him as well as his older male comrades. Not to say he doesn't love his female comrades just as much. He likes to think of himself as a pacifist of sorts, only fighting if he absolutely has to. So really he's probably the most diplomatic of the group. He does however squabble with his sister when he sees fit (which is most of the time)
What you don't know about him: He can be extremely sensitive about his appearance, like his father giving him a bloated and overweight look is all a part of his power. However, he does not seem to be as willing to accept it as his father, getting very upset if teased about it. Like his sister, he's often bullied based on his appearance. However, the good thing for them is that when Sarah hears about it, those same bullies never come within 5 feet of them again. He actually likes to plant and garden. He says that with all the futuristic technology that's been created, it's like earth's natural wonders have been completely forgotten. He likes to think that his gardening makes this fact untrue.
Lilly Dox:
Superhero name: Undecided (too young to be a part of the legion)
Age: 3
Hair: Blonde
Eyes: Green
Parents: Brainiac 5 and Shrinking Violet (Querl Dox and Salu Digby)
Powers: Same as her fathers, even though she was born in the time after he became human, his intelligence never decreased and so it was inherited to her. She is small although this fact is unknown to whether it's because she's harboring her mothers power somewhere inside her but it remains dormant for the time being, or if it's just her fathers short stature she's inherited as well.
Personality: Lilly is quite shy but surely a sweet little girl. She shares almost all of her qualities with her father (with the exception of her laugh, which she got form her mother, and her name, which is a homage to her mothers alias). A list of examples would be her being the youngest, being quiet but knows how to get a word out when needed, her looks, her intelligence, and her admiration of her godfather, Superman. Despite the legion trying to be as professional as they can, Lilly's role as "the adorable persuasion" proves to be quite useful in some situations (as demonstrated in the chapter above XD). Often , when Felix's diplomacy runs dry, they opt for simply holding Lilly up to whoever is causing problems and cause them to cripple under the cuteness (this usually ends up being Kall El, mwahaha XD) Lilly doesn't seem to be aware of what they're doing when they do this though, which makes the attack even worse.
What you don't know about her: Even though she is shy, she seems to be a lot more open with Brainy, showing her true colors brightly. Much like her father would, she does not like to be referred to as "The baby" even though she is. She loves and misses her parents very much but knows that they will come back soon, putting her fathers statistics and logical reassurances to heart. She seems sort of frustrated that she can't be in the legion yet, but realizes it's probably for the best and for her protection. Although as the youngest she feels that her teammates (and notably her father) can be perhaps too overprotective. Unlike her teammates, (even though they learned at the same time as her) she can speak Japanese fluently.
