well, i must be the laziest writer ever. I've been on summer break for what- two weeks?- and didn't try to write this until just now, as of freakin' five in the morning! gawd, to think you guys are waitin' on me.

FS:[ is dressed in traditional Japanese robes and currently sitting seiza style on a tatami mat] um, uhhhhh(looks around nervously) i um...have no excuse for myself(bows head ashamedly) My precious fans...please forgive me!

Brainy: You know, none of them are actually all that angry with you?

FS:(pops up) WHAT?

Brainy: They understand how much brainstorming an author needs to create a story, let alone more than one chapter.

FS: B-but...I thought (faces scrunches up in confusion)

Brainy: (sigh) I'll go hit Lightning Lad for misleading you...again.(walks away)

FS: Well, no need for this shit anymore!(pulls off robes to reveal what looks like a gunman's outfit) Let's go!

CHAPTAH!

STARTO!

"It couldn't be your father, could it?" Kell asked as we fell back to the ship, neither of us really putting any effort into it. I shrugged, not understanding the situation a bit.

"I don't know. If it is, wouldn't the others deal with him instead of calling us back?" Kell eased up until he was almost parallel with me, and said something that made my blood boil.

"If he threatened them with disbandment, or withdrawing all the funds, they'd call us back." I gritted my teeth and sped up, almost leaving the superman clone behind. We managed to make it back in about seven minutes, though I was a bit surprised at how far I'd run.

We stood at the doorway, neither of us really wanting to go in. Then Kell sighed and walked up the ramp, as though on to a funeral procession. I followed behind him.

"There you are. Cham, I have a feeling you'll cheer up as soon as you see him." Duo Damsel greeted us. Now I was completely confused. Why would I be happy to see the person who had tried to make me quit my very reason to live? Okay, enough of being dramatic, I'll let Phantom girl handle that. I shook my head as we walked into the main room.

"So? Who is it?" I saw a person with familiar black hair, pale green skin, and a black and green outfit similar to my old version. I knew immediately who it was before he even turned around.

"RON-CARR!" I shouted, even as I tackled him to the floor. He let a slight "Haph!" at being hugged so surprisingly. We stood up after I'd un-tangled ourselves.

"When did you get here?" I eyed him up and down, wondering what exactly was going on. He had a blank look on his face, as though he wasn't quite sure either. Reki suddenly bounded up to us, Karate Kid just behind her.

"So, you are the mysterious 'fake Superman' that I have been told about?" He said, examining Ron-Carr from head to toe like I'd done previously. Reki scrunched her nose up, like the first time that she had met Nemesis.

"Hmmm, you don't look very cut-throat, and you don't give off very much of a powerful vibe..." Ron-Carr looked dejected, then shocked as the brunette slid an arm around his shoulders.

"You're perfect!" She squeezed him almost to the point that I half thought his skeleton would pop out of his body. She finally let go, and, not unlike every other person Reki had nearly squeezed the life out of, gasped dramatically and fell to the floor squirming.

"Um, thanks?" He said. Reki then suprised the hell out of us even further by squealing, grabbing both his hands and saying the weirdest thing she'd ever uttered.

"Omigawd, you have a smoker's voice! KAKUI~!" Brainy looked less than pleased that Reki was so close to a former villain, but deemed Ron-Carr less dangerous than Superman-X, as he sulked a little ways away.

"Um, right...I'll just..." The fellow shape-shifter muttered as Reki did not let go of his hands. Superman stepped forward to greet him.

"So, is this a social visit?" The inquiry was conversational, but if I looked hard enough, there was just a little bit of 'what-the-hell-are-you-doing-here?' behind the calm, friendly, blue eyes.

Ron-Carr looked down, and stood that way for a few moments. Then he looked back up.

"I...want...to join the Legion."

"Wow! I can't believe the other Legionnaires decided to let you in so easily." I said as Ron-Carr, Kouji, and I walked back through the halls leading and consisting of the temporary bedrooms of the legionnaires. Kouji and I already shared, and the ruling was that Ron-Carr would both sleep with us, and be part of our new trio. Though, it hurt a bit when Brainy had called us the "misfit three" under his breath when he thought we couldn't hear.

"Well, Misfit Three it is then! Our group name." I added when the two gave me weird looks. Kouji started sniggering, and Ron-Carr continued giving me that weirded out look. I flashed a grin.

"You'll get used to that. Maybe." I unlocked the door and ran to my own orange and green bed, pouncing on it and jumping up and down. Kouji sat down on his, dark blue and a shade of brown that reminded me of cocoa. There was a third bed, black and green, which we guessed was for Ron-Carr. There was a knock on the door, just as he'd sat down.

Phantom Girl phased through, holding what looked like a bundle of clothing. She gave me a friendly wave, and held out the package to the other alien.

"These are your civilian clothes. Brainy decided to make them as soon as he could. You'll need them on certain missions, so trust me when I say they'll be handy." Ron-Carr nodded and took the bundle gently from her. "By the way, we've decided your initiation will be tomorrow in the evening, so be sure to be ready by then, okay?" He nodded again.

Phantom Girl suddenly smiled like Reki had. "I'm glad you came to our side, Ron-Carr. Imperiex knows we have one shape-shifter, but imagine how crazy-mad he is now that we have both. Am I right?" I laughed loudly. Phantom Girl left after that, and Kouji and I somehow managed to convince Ron-Carr to help us prank Brainy.

"It's practically a pre-initiation ritual." I whispered as we crept past the Coluan's lab. We headed to the small kitchenette Reki had all but demanded be built. What luck, she was in there!

"Hey Reki." I waved to the brunette who had just been chatting with the target. She smiled at us, while Brainy gave us a suspicious glance. His purple eyes narrowed as Ron-Carr handed Reki and folded piece of paper.

"Oh what's this?" Reki asked, confusion o her face. Ron-Carr sent me a death glare from the corner of his green eye, before replying.

"It's a love note." SLAM! Brainy's fist made a slight indention in the counter top. Reki fanned herself lightly, ignoring her brother.

"From who?"

"...Cosmic Boy." There was a slight whirlwind as a very rabid purple and green genius went to find(kill) a certain electro-magnetic field controlling legionnaire. Reki watched for a moment, then turned to us.

"There's nothing written on the note, is there?" I shook my head, then burst out laughing, along with Kouji and Ron-Carr surprisingly. Reki sighed, and picked up a bowl full of what looked like batter, which she dolloped onto the spoon, and began flinging at us.

"AH! Run, it's attack of the gooey stuff! Part two!" I yelped to the legionnaires we passed by as we all fled from the brunette. A few minutes later of running all over the ship, coincidently passing by Brainy who was attempting to strangle Cosmic Boy, yelling" IT WAS A FAKE!", proceeding then to be chased by both brother and sister, then land in our room, locking the door, and collapsing in a heap laughing.

We lay on top of each other, laughing and gasping for air until we settled down. By then, the familiar drone of voices, and clatta-clatta of footsteps had disappeared, leaving only the humming of machinery as background noise.

"Time for bed, I guess." We un-tangled ourselves and quietly slipped on our sleep wear. I was in pajamas given by my dad, Kouji wore some kind of robe thing, and Ron-Carr slipped on the t-shirt and sweatpants that Phantom Girl had given him. I crawled into bed, feeling the cool soft comforter settle on me lightly. I yawned.

"G'night guys."

(Elsewhere)

"Hmm, so a Durlan Turner has suddenly appeared?" A dark figure asked the shadows gathered around a cauldron. A small, imp-looking creature appeared above them.

"It seems so. He is guarded by the Legion, and has already metamorphed to attract a mate. Shall we divert their ship's course?" The figure stood, revealing a blue haired woman with red eyes. She stared down into the cauldron, Cham's human face dozing peacefully unaware.

"I'll have a lot of fun with this one." She cackled.

Read, review, then get the hell outta my sight! I realize this came a little late, but so help me, I've been in a slump!
