Hey guys, I'm really sorry about how long its taking me to update, I had finals all last week and the studying required was... Intense... Oi... Lol

"Legion Jet to Tower, come in Tower?" Saturn Girl called through the comm. It wasn't long before they all heard Cosmic Boy's frantic voice.

"Saturn Girl? Is everything alright, what happened?"

"We're having engine trouble, need backup!" Saturn Girl cast her teammates a venomous glance, warning them to be silent as they all started cracking up.

"You know that everyone is deployed... Is the prisoner secure?"

Clenching her fists angrily, she hissed. "Yes, Brainy is in the cell you had fitted for him. And let me just say: lasers? Overkill much!" Brainy stepped up behind her, laying a gently hand on her shoulder to remind her to calm down.

"Sorry Saturn Girl, just a precaution. We don't know what sort of weird Brainiac powers he may have retained."

Mentally forcing herself not to retaliate, she clenched her teeth as she growled, "Awaiting orders, Sir."

"Come on! Don't be like that."

"Awaiting orders SIR!" She repeated angrily and she heard him huff over the comm.

"Alright, go to the Space Tower to fix the ship, how long do you think it will take?"

"I don't know, maybe you could send Shrinking Violet to help?"

"Good idea, she will leave within the hour."

"Thank you, Saturn Girl out." Clicking off the comm set, she grinned at her teammates, "It worked. Let's go Bouncy Boy, fire when ready!"

"Aye, aye ma'am!" He saluted his friend playfully and gunned the -perfectly fine- engine.

"You know," Brainy teased. "We have autopilot for that."

"I'm improvising!" He quipped, turning to wink at Brainy and they both burst into laughter, remembering back so many years before on the mission they had found Timber Wolf when they had gotten into a big argument over 'improvisation'.

"Here we are." Saturn Girl cried out not ten minutes later, "Everyone get ready to land."

As soon as they landed, Brainy hopped out, looking around at the Space Tower in awe. "I can't believe you were able to build this without me!" He gasped, running his hand over the smooth metal walls.

"Believe it or not, Brainy," Lightning Lad winked at him teasingly, "But we aren't as stupid as you may think we are."

"That's not what I..."

"We know," Saturn Girl laughed. "But really though, it would have turned out better if you had been here. Let's just say that are computers... Well, they are no COMPUTO."

"Speaking of which, where IS my computer?"

"Back at Legion HQ." Bouncy Boy rubbed his temples, having to fight off a migraine from just thinking of all the trouble that computer had given them recently. "It's been having a temper tantrum ever since you left!"

"Computers don't have tantrums."

"Tell that to it!"

"Bouncy Boy," Brainy turned angry eyes on his friend. "What. Did. You. Do. To. My. Computer?"

"Um... Nothing?" Backing up, Bouncy boy inflated and took off through the halls, bouncing away from the angry Brainy who chased after him.

Laughing, the other Legionnaires followed. It was good to all be together again.

An hour later, the friends were sitting together in the lounge of the Space Tower, talking animatedly and telling Brainy all about all that had happened since he had been gone. Laughing at the obviously embellished stories his friends told him, Brainy smiled at all of them.

"Thanks guys," His smile melted away, suddenly serious. "I mean it, you didn't have to save me, thank you. And I'm sorry for ever doubting you."

"Don't worry about it," Saturn Girl wrapped her arms around him, startled when he leaned into the embrace, he usually hated physical contact. "We're your friends," Her eyes filled with tears as she stroked his blond hair gently, "We will always be there for you when you need us."

"I know." At that moment, alarms went off in the tower.

"What is it? What's happening?" Lightning Lad gasped as Brainy leaped out of Saturn Girl's embrace, racing towards the consul.

Typing away furiously at the keyboard, a static-filled image of Shrinking Violet appeared on screen. "Violet, violet can you read me?"

"Brainy? That you?!" She yelled, her voice bordering on hysteria as she moved her hands over the controls. The cabin of the jet she was in was swiftly filling with smoke and she coughed loudly, trying to wave the smoke away fro her face.

"Yeah, I'm here! What's going on, are you alright?"

On screen, they could see her turn her panicking face towards the sealed metal doors behind her as something rammed into them, denting it. "No, I'm not! Brainy, you've got to get out of here, they're after you! They need you for something, to build something... I don't know what!"

"Violet, you aren't making sense, who?!" Brainy was starting to panic as he saw the girl he had come to love so dearly, the closest thing he had to a sister, start to cry.

"Run Brainy! Run!" She screamed as the doors flew open and the legionnaires stared in shock as they caught a glimpse of the Fatal Five on the screen before the image blinked out and went black.

"Come on!" Brainy started to run towards the doors, "We have to save her!"

"No Brainy!" Saturn Girl exclaimed, holding out a hand to stop him. "You heard her, they are after you!"

"Yeah, but..."

"No buts, we have to..." She trailed off as an explosion ran through the tower, throwing everyone who wasn't flying to the floor. Saturn Girl was the first one to her feet and started running out, "Bouncy Boy," She ordered, "Stay with Brainy! The rest of you, with me!"

"No Saturn Girl!" He protested, running after her. "I can help!"

"Help from in here!" She snapped, racing out of the Tower with the rest of the legionnaires.
