Brainy dashed towards Leigon HQ. For someone who has a 12th level integllence he could be quite stupid. He halted inches from the door. How could he face them after everything. Triplicate Girl, Bouncy Boy, Lighting Lad Saturn Girl. Espcailly Shrinking Violet, no matter how much he ran it through his head, he couldn't find a way to aploligize. She had always been there for him and he just shoved her so abrutly. Every member of the Legion could hate him, Brainy felt he could never make it up to them. He had left when Kall El was making his vow, so he could avoid everyone. The only one who knew he was leaving had been Superman, by now Superman would have went back to his own time. The only one he was truly afraid to face was Shrinking Violet. He had seen her when he had looked back at HQ for the final time. She had been looking out the window. He saw a tear in her beautiful purple eye.

How could he face them now. He look into the glass door his apperance had alter quite a bit since a year ago. He's green eyes tired with large dark circles eminated below them. His blonde hair had grown down to his shoulder. He had been on the run for months. Colauns had been trying to inilate him, Bounty Hunters had been trying to capture him. He had no idea why people were after him he was of no use to anyone anymore. The only ablities he had, had come from his robotic body. He looked down at his hands, he still found it odd that they were made of flesh now instead of mecanichal pieces. He gave a sigh. The Legion was the only safe place. He thought back to what the girl had said.

"They lost someone important and basically gave up after that."

"Am I really that important?" He didn't feel all that important.

"This is the most home like place, I ever had, but...".

"Braniac 5.1". "The voice again" Brainy thought to himself, it had been there since he had left the legion. It wasn't hurting him or persaduing him to do anything. It simply would called to him. "What do you want?" he asked.

"For you to leave and never come back." That voice, Brainy knew it and he knew it was not in his head it was behind him. He turned to see three legionieers, Cosmic Boy, Colossal Boy and Sun Boy.

"Hello, I'm sorry to disturb you gentlemen, I simply am here to retrive something I left behind."

"You don't leave stuff ,Brainy, now what are you really here for?"

"I...i wanted to apoligize, i want to help." Cosmic Boy's expression darken.

"You want to apoligize? You want to help?" He had moved closer to Brainy as he spoke, now he had a grip on Brainy's shirt.

"Please, your powerless now. Besides we have everything under control."

"Control? Leaving things up to the Science police is under..." Brainy felt the air rush out of his lungs as Cosmic Boy smashed him to the ground holding his throat.

"Who told you that?" Cosmic Boy Hissed.

"So it's true then...ugh.. you really have given up...ugh" Brainy struggled to speak. Cosmic Boy was slow tightening his grip on Brainy's throat.

"Cosmic Boy, stop it he get the point." Colossal Boy said, but did not move.

"Tell me who, Brainiac. Now!" Braniac tried to take a breath before begining.

"Just some girl, she told me you guys haven't been fighting lately..." He took another breath. He couldn't take much more.

"I just thought I might be able to hel..." Cosmic Boy tighten his grip once more.

"There you go with that word again, Help. It's only thanks to what you did we're in the postion we're in." Cosmic Boy could feel Brainy's breathing slow.

"I bet no one would care if you just died." Lifting his fist it began to glow.

"Don't worry, I'll tell Shrinking Violet goodbye for you." Brainy closed his eyes waiting for Cosmic Boy's fist.

The thing was it never came. Even more so Brainy could breath again. He open his eyes slightly to see Cosmic boy wasn't on him anymore. Cosmic Boy was floating in mid-air.

"Now Cosmic Boy, what has Bouncy Boy told you about guest?" Brainy knew that voice. He tilted to the right and saw a young girl with long black, her skin slightly darker then a tan.

"Dark magicain." The girl turn to him.

"How you been, Brainy?"

"oh you know same old, same old, got beat up for nothing." The girl gave a smirk.

"Legioneers, I am requesting medical assistance as well as containment squad Beta". Brainy listened as the girl called commands. Things began to go black, he knew he was in and out of counciessness, the first time he opened his eyes, he saw Dark Magicain leaning over him telling him to hold on, the next time he opened his eyes he saw bouncy boy and Chamelion on both sides of him. The third time he saw Vi's face, tears streaming down. She spoke as he began to close his eyes, he didn't her hear but he knew she said.

"Don't go..."
