Dear Diary,

School has ended. So you know how I've forsaken my love to Dick? I think that's the right word. Forsaken means to give up on, right? Well that's what I'm doing. He's a good friend though.

So I'm really bored. Summer is the time where villains can do whatever they want but the cops expect them.

It's really hot, even Scaley agrees. He's refuses to leave the pool and I've just been throwing fish at him. The good thing is that I've taught him new tricks. I throw the fish up high and he jumps to get it. He also can flip so that's progress.

I've been thinking lately. Of what I should do when I get older. Should I be like Daddy? Or be a productive member of society. I don't know. So on a whim, I started learning how to build a robot. Just a small one, nothing really big.

Brainiac directed me on how to make one. It was harder than I thought but I did it. I got a a little control stick that makes the robot walk and the buttons make him lift his arms. I was so happy that I went to the park to play with him.

There were some kids there but not many. I set the robot down. I think I'll call it Bob. I like the name, it's simple and easy.

So Bob is on the ground, I made it walk a couple of feet away from me and then back. The second time I did it, some jerk thought it would be funny and took Bob away.

I confronted the bully to give him back, but he only laughed at me like a little pig. I was mad and I was ready to knock him out but..

"Hey give it back!" A boy confronted the bully. The boy looked only a bit older than me. He was wearing a red shirt and had black hair.

"Why should I?" The bully said back.

"Because if you don't, I'll tell your mom."

The bully became red and threw the robot at him. "It's stupid anyways!" He stormed off.

The boy caught Bob and turned around to me. "Here you go." He handed it back to me.

I just looked at him kind of shocked that he stood up for me.

"I'm Billy." He put his hand out. He grinned.

"Luna." I shook his hand.

"Where did you get that? It's cool." He motioned towards Bob.

"I made it."

"Cool."

"Would you like to play with him?" I asked Billy.

"Sure." He grinned at me. My face feels hot. I gave him the controller.

"I haven't seen you before." I said to him.

"Yeah I'm just here visiting some friends." He answered. "I'm from Fawcett City. It's in the midwest."

"Cool. How old are you?"I asked him.

"I'm 10. You?"

"7, going on 8 this year."

"So you're going on 3rd grade?"

"Sure." I didn't exactly look at him in the eye. I figured out it's bad to give too strong of a first impression. "How about you?"

"I'm heading off to middle school."

"Be careful. Daddy says middle school is a cesspool of hormones. Whatever that means."

He laughed. "You're funny."

"Thank you?" I watched Bob do the robot. You know the dance. I tried making small talk. "How do you like Gotham?

"It's cool but there's a lot of crime. I feel like there is a villain attacking like everyday." He commented. It stung a bit because I thought of the people I know and yeah they do do that. Hah, do do.

"How about your city?"

"There are villains but not a large amount." He paused for a bit." My family is thinking about moving here though."

"Really?"

"Yeah." I felt like there was a big secret or reason to why he was moving.

"So who's your favorite superhero?" I asked him.

He grinned. "Batman! He is so cool and cold. Also I love Captain Marvel."

"Who?" Who the heck is Captain Marvel?

"He's a superhero from Fawcett." He pouted a bit annoyed? to me not knowing who Captain Marvel is. "He is this awesome superhero, who's super strong and powerful and plain awesome."

"Interesting. What else can he do?"

"He's like Superman but better. Similar powers but better and smarter."

Billy must love this guy alot. For some weird reason, I felt like he was boasting about himself but that'd impossible. From what Billy says, Captain Marvel is an adult. Hmm, suspicious.

"Billy, we're going home!" A girl calls to him.

"Oh, that's my sister. I gotta go." He says to me. He gave me back the controller but I refused.

"Keep him."

"You sure?"

"Yeah, it's thanks for standing up for me. Not a lot of the other kids do that for me."

"Thank you so much!" He hugged me. He smelled really nice. He said goodbye to me.

He took Bob and walked towards his sister. He waved one last time and left with her.

Such a nice guy. I went home afterwards.

Robots bring people together. So I started working on another robot. A lifesized one like Brainiac's.

It took me, maybe a week and a half, but I finished. A red robot. For fun, I drew a lightning bolt onto him. Now what to name it? Eh, I'll figure it out later. Brainiac made a AI program. That means the robot will be like a human. Cool, I made a giant baby!

"Hello?"

The eyes of the robot blinked then he looked at me. "Master?"

"What?"

"You are my master. My creator?"

"Yes, I am. You don't have to call me that."

"Then what?" He asks me.

"Uh." I really didn't know until Brainiac suggested. "Mama?"

"Mama? Okay, I'll call you mama." He stares at me. "What am I?"

"Uh, you can be called whatever you want?"

He stared at me blankly.

"Try a common name." Brainiac said.

"Lassie?"

"That's a dog's name."Brainiac said a bit frustrated. "How about Red? Because he's red?"

"Okay, you'll be Red!" I chirped happily at the robot.

"I am Red." He nodded. "What is my function?"

"To be her companion." Brainiac stated.

"Who are you?"

"I am your father." He said, with a serious face. "I am merely joking. It is a human's social standard to joke in certain situations. My name is Brainiac."

"I compute this to memory." Red replied. "NIce to meet you? Is that correct?"

"Yes, it is." Brainiac replied.

I hugged Red. He looked at me wondering what I was doing.

"That is a hug. It means she likes you. I shall download the necessary rules of engagement and miscellaneous information." He did so through the tube still connected to the back of his head.

After it was done, Red hugged me back.

Someone knocked on my door and Daddy came in and frowned at the robot.

"Luna, what is that?"

"This is Red! Me and Brainiac made him."I said happily.

He smiled proudly at me. "That's great!" He pet my head. "You have a bodyguard now!"

"So Daddy, what'd you need?" I asked him.

"Well, remember Grandpa Savage?"

I thought about this for a moment. A guy with a deep hearty laugh and a scar on his face. I nodded.

"He's here putting some stuff in the basement. I thought you would like to see him." He smiled at me and left.

"Red, let me go." He commanded, then I rushed downstairs and there was Grandpa Savage, watching some strange men? wheeling stuff in the basement.

I smiled and flung myself at him. "Grandpa Savage!"

He smiled and picked me up. "Hello, my little star!"He kissed me on the cheek.

"Are you staying the night?" I asked him.

"Sorry, I'm afraid I'm not. I have some work to do." He looked at me in joy. "I haven't seen you for so long! Look how big you've gotten."

"It's only been a year. I know that's like a second to you." Grandpa was originally a caveman and lives forever.

"But it's still a big deal to one so young, right?"

I pouted. I really don't like the fact that I'm a kid. I'd rather be a grown up.

"Here, I'll tell you something interesting." He whispered in my ear. "I mind-controlled the Justice League last year."

"What? Why?"

"Because it was fun."

"Okay. What'd you make them do?" I asked him. He smiled.

"Let's just say I flipped the tables on them."

"Huh?" I was confused of what he meant until I saw something interesting. I hopped off of him and stopped one of the packages. It was a guy frozen in a large containor thingy. He was a very cute guy.

"You like him, huh?" Grandpa Savage said. I nodded.

"Who is he?"

"His name is Roy Harper aka Speedy."

"I don't know who that is. You know Daddy doesn't let me watch the news that much." I told him.

"Well, he's a sidekick to the Green Arrow?"

"Oh, why do you have him?"

"I used him to get to the League." He replied. Sometimes, I really hate how vague he gets.

"So you're done with him?" Grandpa Ravage nodded. "Can I have him?"

"Why would you want- Oh." He realized something. "Luna, you can't. If you fall in love with a hero, bad things will only happen to you."

"Fine. Can I at least look at him?"

"That is alright. But get your Father's permission first."

"Yay!" I cheered.

The last of the men? finished putting the stuff to go.

"Looks like I have to go." He kisses me on the head. "Love you, I'll see you later."

"Bye, Grandpa Savage."

"The next time I see you. You might be a force to be reckon with." He said offhandly and leaves. He's weird like that.

Growling is heard and then whimpering. Sounds like Scaley found Red. Gotta go.

I'm thinking about moving this story to Young Justice category because I make so many references to Young Justice. Also I might start doing chapters five years later from this time period. Review please. Poll
