Ok, I was thinking of doing a chapter in between these and the past one that could explain a little further, but this chapter…and 2 more, are already writing, and I'll have to change a bunch of things…lazy me. Anyway, I still improved this chapter.

Also I am happy to announce that superman and kell will be appearing soon in the story!

Oh, and a small fact: on the original comics ( witch I don't read, but I know a bit about, thanks to the power of wikipedia) brainiac owned a white space monkey named koko, and brainy also owned a white space monkey witch he called…KOKO! Yeah, pretty original, but it doesn't explain if is the same monkey that somehow timetraveled to be brainy's pet or something…but, this is my less confuse version of this.

Oh, and I think this chapter is going to be a bit boring, just explaining several things.

Thanks again to the reason my chapters improve…LOKI94! And also to the great guests that review! also thanks a LOT to D. N. S. akina and RedRobinLover for the fav and the follow! it means a lot to me!

Don't forget to review :D enjoy!

Chapter 5

"I stayed on the planet for 5 months more, until I finally finished the construction of the ship. During my stay I learned to control the new emotions a bit, but must were quite overwhelming, so I also took a bit of my time to build these" brainy pointed towards the white rectangles on his cheek.

"so, its that some kind of emotion oppressor, or something?" cham asked, brainy nodded

"it makes me take better control towards these emotions. Anyway, as I was saying, during my stay I kept my mind rather busy with a lot of questions, like, what did koko wanted me to find during my stay on the planet? What was brainiac symbol doing on that room?"

"did you find out something about any of this?" bouncy asked

"I did, at least a bit of information. As we cleaned the lab to start building the ship, koko came running to me, he handled me this" brainy then searched on his pocket and pulled a necklace holding a very shiny blue rock.

"what's that?" cham asked, coming closer to the rock to see it better, brainy however put it back into his pocket before he could get to see it.

"I am not certain, but koko seems to hold importance to this necklace, I think that is what he was looking for" lighting lad raised an eyebrow.

"you mean that thing is all the fur ball was after?" koko seemed to glare towards lighting lad, brainy nodded

"he keeps telling the name vrill when he shows me the necklace, that was the same name he told me that was being held on that tube". Lighting lad the started to laugh, all the people on the room turned to stare at him.

"you mean the owner of that necklace was a dude?!" all the room rolled their eyes with the immature comment.

"I don't know, that's all I could find about for now."

After some silence, brainy was still sitting on his bed and koko had fallen asleep on his shoulder.

"is koko some kind of experiment then?" phantom girl looked at the little simian sleeping.

"he has presence of mutagens, he is not quite a regular space monkey, the scavengers used this to 'improve' and alter the owner of these genes into something stronger. Koko seems to be one of their…failed experiments. Perhaps he is just a clone, according to my tests"

"how can those guys be so mean! Experimenting on little animals like him! Poor thing" phantom girl approached the monkey to pet him, he woke up, he slowly backed away and hid on brainy's back.

"oh yeah, doesn't like other people, forgot about that" she went back to her seat

"he'll get used to you" brainy petted koko, he jumped back to his shoulder and laid down.

"any idea why is brainiac after you?" cosmic boy added, brainy shook his head

"I thought he was after the chip, but something he saw on the little time he had it on his hands seemed to awoken his attention on me… Again" brainy gloomed

"great, that guy is never gonna stop his obsession on you, it kinda scares me a little" cham chucked a bit.

"wait a second, you haven't tell us all, what were you doing the next four months?" lighting lad looked at the coluan in suspicious, violet send lighting lad a glare.

"when arrived to this parts of the universe, I was being searched by bounty hunters, all of them accused me of stealing data from their planets and kidnapping their best heroes. I hid for several months, I wanted to reach you, but if I did, both you and I would be on risk of being found by brainiac or the bounty hunters. Brainiac did this and blame it on me."

The team stood silenced again, exchanging looks, lighting lad was still looking at brainy with suspicion, he notice this and turned his glace towards the floor in shame.

" I know that what I did was unforgivable. I just… didn't know how to face you after all of this. Also, now that I am organic, I wont be of much use. I still can help with my 12 level intellect, but I can no longer fight beside you. I tried to make a complex tech that would allow me to have must the powers I use to have before, but without my computer mind it won't work… it probably wouldn't have work before either without messing with my systems. I guess I'll have to settle with this cannons."

"brainy…" violet gave a sad glaze to his friend.

"brainy, it wasn't your fault, it was brainiac's! never forget that, it was hard to face for us too, but you are still the same brainy you always were, grumpy chips included" phantom girl added, brainy almost smiled, still looking down.

"pluss, we don't care if you have or not a battle mode, you are still part of this team and teammates are never left alone." Saturn girl placed her hand on brainy's shoulder, he closed his eyes

"I am gonna make sure my mom talks some sense to the united planets about stopping those bounty hunters, we don't want them coming here looking for you" phantom girl marched out of the room.

After some silence, bouncy decided to talk.

"so, how did you manage to get here without being found?"

"I heard on the news about brainiac's attacks, that he was going to earth next, I knew he would come looking for you, searching for me. I decided to go there before he did, warn you about it. Some bounty hunters found me before I could reached you, however, I managed to escape, hack into their ship and come here without nobody noticing."

"clever…" bouncy stated

the coluan gave another glaze at his arm, it was incredible how quick it healed in an hour, but he was still weak.

"you should probably rest now, we are going to see how phantom girl is doing. Vi, cham, you stay here in case anything happens" Saturn girl and the rest of the legionnaires left the room.

"great! Brainy, you have a lot to catch on!" cham rushed to sit beside brainy, vi sat on the couch.

"where can I start…oh, bouncy and triplicate girl are officially a couple" brainy smiled at his smaller teammate

"that's not a surprise" brainy stated, cham smiled

"oh, well…phantom girl and timber wolf are dating, along with Saturn girl and lighting lad" vi added.

"well, you see who won the battle, cosmic boy is going to need another girl" the shape shifter placed his hands on the back on his head and laid down.

After several minutes of catching up with several things the room fell into silence again, brainy started to wander about superman and kell. Even if he already informed superman about he leaving the team, it was still kinda sad not to say official goodbyes, especially when there was a probability they wouldn't see each other again.

"how did kell took all of ?"

"he took it quite good actually, he became a legionnaire and went back to the future, he said he would come back sometime, and that we could call him if the legion needed help with anything " brainy smiled, slowly it dropped away.

"so, how about superman, when did he …leave?" brainy let his curiosity take the best of him, a now stronger emotion he was still dealing with.

"oh…he left about 2 weeks after you did, he helped us look for ya', he told us what you said to him, so we stopped searching and waited for ya' to return. It was longer than expected, but here you are." Chameleon boy sat down again and smiled at his friend.

"oh, almost forgot!" the shape shifter stood up and headed towards the table, in it was a small box witch he picked and hand it to brainy.

"superman told me to give this to you, he kept it just in case"

Grabbing the box and opening it, his eye browns rose. There was a note inside and a very bright stone inside.

"zuunium?" brainy quickly recognized, the other two raised their shoulders on sign of no clue.

Brainy picked the piece of paper it was inside. Paper hasn't been used for almost 8 centauries now, plus it was written on ancient English.

Must of the legionnaires spoke different languages, the flight ring's universal translator enabled them to understand each other, superman probably didn't know this fact. However, thanks to brainy's 12 level intellect and vast knowledge enabled him to be able to read this, with a bit of difficulty, but able whatsoever.

' dear brainiac 5

well, the time has come for me to return to my time, I really wish we could have said better goodbyes but that won't be a problem, I know we'll be seen each other again sometime. So, you must be wandering why the zuunium is doing here right? Well, I kept it in case you needed again at first, hehe. The thing is that that rock also remind me of the adventures we had together and I want you to have it, so you remember that you were also on those adventures. brainy, no matter what you did brainy, you will still be my friend, because as dark as things may seem, as many thing appear to have changed, you are still the same curios android that came into that fair. As long as the good inside you, the thing that defines you, hasn't changed, you will always be my friend.

PS: I am pretty bad writing, sorry about that

Clark kent. Aka superman'

Brainy felt tears trying to come down, after all he did, superman was just the same to him, even when he revealed that his ancestor destroyed his planet.

Brainy gave a small sight and closed his eyes, when opening his eyes it revealed the two curios teammates.

"so, what did it said?" cham neared with curiosity.

"let's say he wants me to remember the adventures we all had together and that none of this was my fault". Both of the smiled and nodded.

The coluan felt a bit tired after all this conversation, he laid back on his bed and began to close his eyes, koko picked the box and jumped into the table where it once was, placing it back and running towards the couch, were he sat.

"you are pretty smart, you know?" cham looked at the simian, it stared blankly at him.

"well brainy, we should let you rest. Cham, care for him while I look for more pain killers" vi stepped out of the room and cham sat back in the couch, the monkey was still looking at him.

"…so its you and me then." cham looked away.

Yeyyy! Boring chapter, sorry about that, the action is about to start in about 2 or 3 chapters! Thanks again for the reviews, they are very welcomed.
