Yes, I realise that this is short, and that I haven't updated for months. I'm trying to get this story moving again, so I'm starting baby steps, sorry. Hopefully, the next chapter will be much longer.

By the way, I still own nothing.

Brainy was busily typing on the computer. He'd banned for a day, and he had a lot to catch up on.

That's why he didn't notice when Superman walked in. Superman cleared his throat loudly to get Brainy's attention.

Brainy jerked his head around to see what mysterious being had made the noise. He smiled.

" Hi, Superman."

Superman smiled and nodded back in greeting.

"Hi Brainy. What are you doing?"

Brainy's attention immediately went back to the screen in front of him.

" Updating the security system, reprogramming the main frame, the usual." He said with a smile. " I have a lot to catch up on."

Superman raised his eyebrows.

" How long were you off?"

Brainy didn't look up from his work.

" About a day, but I work a lot slower, now that I'm...human."

Superman nodded. He understood. He walked out the door, to give Brainy some time to work. Work mattered a lot to the little guy. He walked past Shrinking Violet heading in. He nodded hello, and she did too. Then they both went their seperate ways.

Shrinking Violet stood behind Brainy, waiting for him to notice that she was there. Finally, she gave up and yelled in his ear.

" Hey Brainy! You coming or not?!"

Brainy jumped about two feet three inches in the air. Then he looked over cluelessly at Vi.

" Coming where?"

Vi rolled her eyes. It was to be expected, since he was a computer deprived Brainiac 5 who had just been reunited with the computer. She just wished he would remember social outings and such as well as he remembered the makeup of a star, or the circumference of Jupiter. She tapped her foot impatiently.

" To the movie, that's where. Bouncing Boy has selected another Golden Oldy for us, something called ' Sky High '. You said you would come."

Brainy sighed. He had. But he still had work to do! He looked up pleadingly at Vi.

" Did I promise?"

Vi gave him The Look. He had better not try the ' I didn't promise' thing. She was in no mood for stupidity. Suddenly, a light bulb went on in her head. She smiled at Brainy.

" I suppose you didn't, but you did say you would be there, and if you aren't we'll have solid proof that you can be wrong."

Brainy immediately stopped what he was doing. He stood up.

" Let's go."

Brainy enjoyed the movie, even though it was just him, Lightning Lad, Bouncing Boy, Triplicate Girl, and of course, Vi. Though parts of it were ridiculous, he found he enjoyed the humor ( a concept he'd had a little trouble with before) a lot more. He didn't get all of it of course, but he understood what was funny better.

Vi, however, laughed so loudly at anything funny ( plus a few things that weren't) that he could barely hear the movie, but he didn't mind.

Vi was trying to help Brainy enjoy the film. She needed him to be able to enjoy himself here, to be able to be himself. To be relaxed. Otherwise, he'd still leave at the end of the week.

She did, of course, get weird looks from Lightning Lad for laughing like a maniac at anything even slightly funny, but after Brainy cracked up a few times whenever she laughed, Lightning Lad caught on to what she was doing. He did not, however, join in. If she wanted to look like a lunatic for Brainy's sake, she could.

After the movie, Brainy walked back to his room, his spirits soaring. His mood immediately changed however when he saw the door to his room.

It had been vandalized, and what was left of it had been covered in derogatory remarks about Brainy.

Brainy dashed inside his room. It was trashed completely. Someone had smashed down his door and destroyed his room!

And so ends the latest chapter! I will be so happy if I get reviews, because a story without reviews is like an author with no story!

Hey, by the way, I'm working on another legion fic that has almost nothing to do with this one!
