be nice this is my first legion fanfic
the Time trapper is up to no good when he sends Brainiac 5 and Invisible Kid to Smallivlle 1000 years in the past -cartoonverse- oh and some of the legion's time line for the cartoon is played with
Another Time, Another Place -Prologue-
The springtime air was crisp and cool, the sky was blue and marvelously clear. The wind whipped at everyone’s faces as they hurried about from one building to the next. Two of the humanoid bodies that rushed across the veranda were out of place. One was green-skinned, clothed in black and purple. The other was pale and dressed entirely in black. Though out of place, these two were completely capable of fitting in-- and better than most people…even those who had been at work here for most of their lives.
Panting for breath, the pale one in dark clothing heaved open a heavy door, grunting as he did so. While the two figures had chosen to run, the looks on their faces showed how greatly they regretted that choice. The pale kid -Lyle- shoved the door closed once the green humanoid entered after him. Smiling, he leaned his upper body against the door and turned to his friend. "I can't believe you got us in here," he chuckled breathlessly, shaking his head. After all, the last time Brainy had been at this event he’d been banned for life. This was due to his constant heckling of the inventors and scientists. Still, while only seven people in the whole universe could afford to buy their way into this showing, Brainy had somehow managed to get them in for free …even after he was banned.
The smallest of cocky smirks graced the lips of the green teenager. "Please, it was the very least the United Planets could do."
Lyle rolled his eyes but didn't say a word. The United Planets could have done a lot less for Brainiac 5, especially since his bout with insanity a year and half back. Lyle still had a hard time believing this same period of mental breakdown had caused Brainy to become the first one-hundred percent organic Coluan in over 900 years. However, the Legion had learned two very important things that day. One, that the scariest place in the universe was next to Brainiac 5 when he was agreeing with you. And two, that if you make the U.P. 16.2 trillion credits a week on throw-away patents --all for inventions that have no practical use for the Legion, of course-- they will take the excuse that you were having a bad day and might have overreacted.
"Chemical king is mad I'm blowing him off for the day to hang out here.” Lyle said after a moment, grinning. “He also said it's not fair that he has to deal with my parents… while I get to run off and hang out with Mr. Level twelve."
The small smirk on Brainy's lips vanished at the mere mention of Lyle's parents. Brainy went to great lengths to keep Lyle's abusive dad as far from Lyle as he could. "Chem can't blame anyone but himself,” Brainy snorted. “I believe I warned you that informing your parents as to the existence of your child would only make them want to be near it." Lyle's dad had backed off when he learned Lyle had a child, but that didn't mean Brainy appreciated Lyle's parents anywhere near his friend.
Lyle pushed himself off the door and started down the hallway. "He just wants Danni to have an understanding of where he comes from."
Brainy sighed, walking ahead of his friend. "And why can't you just talk to Chem's--"
"Oh, get this; Chem's parents are dead! …the lucky bastard," Lyle murmured, catching up with his friend. "Besides, I think he wouldn’t be so upset if I was with anyone else."
Brainy rolled his eyes, then turned and grinned at Lyle. "He still thinks I want to sleep with you? I can't believe it."
Lyle shrugged. "What's not to believe? After all, I was the one who convinced you to join the legion… even after every one else had already tried. We spend a lot of hours working in the lab together. Like Chem and me used to-- before we started dating. This whole thing might actually be cute… if it wasn't so annoying."
Querl frowned. " ‘Cute’? Not in the least. I can't believe C.K. thinks my standards are so low that I would actually want to sleep with you.” Lyle glanced at him curiously. “What do you mean?” “Lyle, look at me,” Brainy smirked. “Now look at yourself. I'm not only better looking and smarter than you, half of the girls on our team are dying for the chance to date me. Face it, I'm so out of your league that we're playing different sports." Querl sounded truly offended at the insinuation that he and anyone would be on the same level. “In fact, I would have to say that you are merely a destitute man‘s consolation prize.”
"Thank you for that,” Lyle snickered, “I'm sure Chemical King is going to be glad to hear that he settled for the poor man version of you. That's really going to improve your relationship."
Brainiac 5 shrugged slightly, but didn't say anything more on the topic. Nor did he say much more after Lyle tried to start up another conversation. Lately, Brainy's personality had been off. It wasn’t the prelude to “crazy, over-stressed Brainiac 5 who can’t wait to rule the universe with an iron fist.” It was just that… well, things were different. Small things that most would only notice if they were paying close attention. He no longer twitched at the sight of someone not using a coaster, and he no longer fought the pilot of the cruiser during missions.
Saturn girl was observant enough to notice the difference, and so was most of the core team. They had had asked what was wrong with Brainy, but he had insisted nothing was wrong. Saturn Girl attempted to pry some information out of him, but all she learned was that Brainy did NOT like someone messing around in his head. After that incident, they hadn't spoken to each other in a month, verbally or mentally. Lyle was actually somewhat impressed at how long Brainiac 5 had kept it up. He was especially impressed considering the fact that Saturn Girl was now their “Fearless Leader” and that meant she needed Brainy’s advice, or help, or something every twelve hours or so.
Brainy stopped and Lyle was jerked from his thoughts, watching as his friend whipped out a small key card and swiped it past a sensor fixed to the wall. Before them stood a large door. When Brainy had flashed the key card in front of the sensor, the lights above the door flickered from red to yellow. On the other side of the door, a wall panel slid open to reveal a ten number keypad. Brainiac 5 rapidly punched in a twenty-five number code and stepped back. The lights above the door flickered blue, and a scanner above the lights whirred to life, aiming in the direction of the two young men. After a moment, the lights above the door flickered from blue to green. “Finally!” Lyle muttered as the door swooshed open. Both guys entered the room and froze, momentarily stunned by the visual assault of the room. People were lying in awkward positions, looking like so many discarded dolls. Some were obviously unconscious, some were bleeding, others were just cowering behind whatever they could find. Inventions in various states of disrepair were scattered hither and yon, and in the exact center of the room stood a tall man in dirt-covered robes. His fingers and wrists were wrapped in decaying cloth, and his face was hidden in the shadow of his cloak.
The Time Trapper, for it was obviously he, stared back at Brainy and Lyle for a moment, unmoving. “Legion," he snarled, flicking his wrist in the direction of the two teens. Brainy and Lyle flew headlong into the room, crashing into the wall opposite from where they had stood a mere moment ago. Both were pinned against the wall, incapable of movement. The time trapper glanced at Lyle and, smirking, watched as the pale boy crashed to the floor.
"LYLE!" Brainiac 5 shouted, the word barely escaping his lips. Scowling, he struggled uselessly against the force that had him pinned.
The time trapper flicked his wrist again, and Invisible Kid rose from the floor, only to slam back down a moment later. Lyle made a small grunt, though he didn’t cry out. Instead he glared at the Time Trapper as though daring the villain to get a scream out of him. Still Brainy struggled against his invisible bonds, and still he remained unable to move. Once again, the Time Trapper drove Lyle to the floor. This time a loud crack echoed through the room, and Lyle involuntarily let out a shrill cry. The Time Trapper smirked at Brainiac 5 and lifted Lyle from the floor one more time. “Stop it!” Brainy shrieked.
The time trapper paused what he was doing, and floated over to where the green humanoid was struggling futilely against his invisible bonds. Smirking, he turned Brainy's face so he could see Lyle better. "No, you worthless little Clouan."
Lyle was slammed against the wall, and then the floor. There was another loud crack from Lyle's body, and the boy groaned. The Time Trapper flicked his wrist again, but Lyle didn't move from the ground. His grip on Brainiac 5's face tightened suddenly and he leaned closer until he was face-to-face with the green-skinned genius. "How are you doing, this you insignificant brat?!" he demanded, claw-like hands digging into Brainy’s jawline. Suddenly, the Time Trapper glanced down and glared at Brainiac's belt, where he finally noticed the light glowing faintly on one the compartments. Angrily, he ripped the belt off of Brainiac 5's waist and dashed it to the floor. The belt light blinked and went out. The time trapper released Brainy‘s face and snarled, "You're too damn clever for your own good, boy."
Lyle voice spoke from just behind the Time Trapper. "Of course he is! You, however, are nowhere near as bright!" As he spoke the words, Lyle grunted and swung a heavy bit of equipment down on the Time Trapper’s head. Yelping, the Time Trapper clutched his head and Brainy dropped to the floor, managing a much better landing than his friend. Quickly he snatched up his belt and wrapped it around his waist before whirling around to face his nemesis.
The Time Trapper spun around angrily to face the two heroes. "I'm done here," he snarled, and lowered his head slightly. A whirling portal opened behind Lyle, who eyed it anxiously and moved away from it. The time trapper lifted his head a bit and another portal opened behind him. From below his cowl, the villain’s eyes glinted viciously. "Now, little Coluan, a choice. Will you be following me?" Smirking, he flicked his wrist and Lyle yelled in surprise, flying backwards into the first portal. "Or him?"

title: Another time, Another place creator: Saintash warnings: super worksafe XD pages: 8-ish Legion of choice: Legion cartoon Summery: thrown out of There time by the time trapper Brainiac 5, and Invisible kid have to find a way to get back to where they belong
It was a peaceful night in Smallville, for any disturbances that occurred did so about thirty miles away from the quiet Kansas town.
Suddenly, the star-filled sky was streaked with bolts that resembled electricity. Just as quickly, the crackling energy disappeared. Then, a few seconds later, a blinding light tore the sky wide open. Pure, unadulterated light phased through colors so quickly it was impossible to tell where one color began and another ended. A third crack rang out and two small human figures were faintly outlined, quickly growing in size and opacity. The sound died down, and it vanished as quickly as it had appeared. With no force to propel them, the two humans slowed to a halt. However, the two young men remained suspended in midair.
After a moment, the sound of static hissed and then a clear voice spoke from between the two. “Invisible Kid and Brainiac 5, report if you’re able!” Saturn Girl sounded more than marginally worried.
The green-skinned humanoid lifted his hand and was about to speak to a gold ring wrapped around his finger. Then his eyes narrowed and he twisted it gently with his other hand. Glancing at his companion, the blonde shook his head slightly.
His companion, clad in black with a white shape of an ’I’ in the center of his chest, lifted his own hand. Clearing his throat, he spoke to the ring. “We’re both fine, though I’m a little banged up. Brainy is here too, but it looks like his ring was damaged. He’s flying, but I think the com link is out. There could be more damage, but we won’t know ‘til we get a look inside.”
Slowly Brainy began to circle in the air, eyeing the terrain critically. “I'm going to scout the area. This is odd…nothing looks familiar,” Brainy said, sounding a bit miffed.
Lyle nodded at Brainy and the Coluan flew off to the right.
Returning his attention to the ring, Lyle continued. "We're a bit lost here. What‘s your status over there?"
In the background, Lyle heard the sound of metal being kicked. A frustrated sigh burst from the ring, and finally Saturn Girl answered Lyle. “Time Trapper got away,” she grumbled.
"That isn‘t exactly surprising." Lyle commented, desperately wanting to defeat the cloaked villain. However, nothing the Legion did really seemed to stop him, just… delay him.
Saturn Girl sighed again. "Everything here is a mess. No critical injuries, fortunately. Still, it's going to take weeks to fix this place up. The worst of it is that… well, it looks like he broke in just to destroy everything, because nothing has shown up missing yet.”
Lyle snorted. “How considerate of him.”
“…Oh, by the way, Time Trapper also stopped by Brainy’s lab before he vanished completely. Everything that was in there is now completely decimated." Saturn girl's voice dropped down to a whisper. "Is Brainy out of ear shot?" she asked.
"Yup. He's off scouting." Lyle replied.
"Your first responsibility is to get home safely. And, well, if you can try to talk to him about what happened three months ago… its been bothering him for a while now. You and I both know he only put up a front so Trip would stop touching him--"
"I'll see what I can do, Boss lady." Lyle cut her off with the nick name he’d adopted since she had been elected leader. He waved at Brainy, who was flying back at a rather reckless speed. "I'll contact you with any new information we may receive. Invisible Kid out."
Brainy pulled up beside Lyle and grabbed his arm, pointing in the direction he’d come. “Invisible Kid, you’re going to need to see this,” he said urgently.
“Okay, okay, what’s the-- rush?” Lyle choked out the last part as Brainy tugged him in the westerly direction he’d been scouting. Lyle tried to warn Brainy about the strain a rate like this would put on his already broken ring, but the Coluan was obviously beyond listening. Finally, they drew up beside a small wooden sign.
“Look!” Brainy commanded, pointing at the wood. It was hand-painted with white lettering, and read very simply.
WELCOME TO SMALLVILLE: Corn Cream Capital of Kansas
"Well, Mr. Brain box? what are we going to do?" Lyle demanded, dropping onto a stack of hay and ignoring the protests his injuries put up.
The two friends had found a barn free of any animals, and had quickly taken cover, seeing that they didn’t know when the sun would rise. The last thing they needed now was to be spotted flying around above the ‘corn cream capital of Kansas’.
Brainy frowned, massaging his temples and squeezing his eyes shut. "…we could try hailing Superman with your ring," he said after a moment.
"That won't work!” Lyle protested. “What if we're the wrong time? Besides, even if we are in the right time, Superman's ring doesn't have that function anymore. Remember? We had to take it off, because ‘the blabber mouth’ wouldn't stop bothering him in the past."
Sighing, Brainy stretched and stood, walking to the door of the barn. “Okay. Well, we can’t stay here. I need to get a good look at your injuries, and this lighting is horrible. Plus, this environment is nowhere near hygienic enough for anything of that sort.”
Lyle opened his mouth to say he didn’t need examining, but Brainy shot him a look and continued. “I also need to open up this ring of mine.”
Lyle nodded. “That’s a good idea.”
Brainy frowned. “I’m assuming that, since it was the time trapper who sent us here, he not only destroyed every time bubble in the institute but also my lab. Am I right?”
Lyle nodded. Brainy really didn’t have to guess, the Time Trapper always went out of his way to destroy Brainy’s lab, even when it had nothing to do with his latest maniacal plot. For some reason, the villain really had it in for the genius. So for the moment, they were cut off from rescue, at least in the future.
Brainy began to pace, thinking aloud. “Well, if Superman is in this time, we can borrow his ring, and try to construct a bubble.” he paused to stop and think. “But wait, even if we were to get Super man's ring, it wouldn’t solve our problems, because I need at least four rings for a makeshift bubble. And even then, it’s a one-way trip. With my ring defective, that’s only two rings. There’s absolutely no way this will work. Absolutely none.” Sighing, Brainy sat down beside lyle and cradled his head in his hands.
Lyle’s body tightened as he attempted to scoot over to give his friend some room. Frowning, Lyle realized that his injuries were becoming harder to ignore. “We don’t have any money, Brainy,” Lyle said, trying to focus on the immediate instead of the hypothetical. “How will we find a place to stay?”
"Hmm. I did see a sign for Lex corp while I was scouting,” Brainy said, almost as an afterthought. “I suppose…”
“No…way…” Lyle turned to stare at Brainy, his eyes narrowing. “You are not going to steal from them! That is completely and totally illegal! We’re superheroes, we don’t do stuff like that!”
Brainy lifted his hands as if to ward off an attack. “Lyle, Lex is no hero himself. We know his money is mostly ill-gotten, we don’t know when we are, you have at least two broken bones that I can see, and my flight ring has been damaged.”
Lyle continued to glare. “So what? We-”
“We’re dressed in spandex, and let’s not forget the unavoidable fact that I am green, with three metal computer interfacing disks on my forehead.” Brainy’s chin had a stubborn tilt to it, and his eyes were narrowed. “Right now, keeping a low profile and not messing with the time stream is our biggest worry. Besides, I can hide the fact that I take any money by adding a few cents more onto the company’s different expense files. They’ll never even know it was there in the first place!”
“I don’t care if they don’t know, I know!” Lyle insisted, wincing slightly at the outburst. “It’s still wrong.”
“I’m waiting for a better idea,” Brainy snapped, his eyes boring into Lyle.
Lyle tried to think, but the pain from his injuries was overwhelming his senses. "I…” he sighed. “I don’t have any ideas.”
“I didn’t think so,” Brainy said, glancing at Lyle with concern. “I’ll be back soon. Take care of yourself.” Reaching down, Brainy removed his flight ring and then handed his belt to Lyle, so that if anyone attacked him, he’d be safe.
“Don’t you need this to break in?” Lyle asked, wondering why he was actually helping his one of his best friend rob someone.
“No,” Brainy said, “You need the belt more than I do. But I would like your ring, if you don‘t mind.” he held out his hand and waited.
After a moment of agonizing, Invisible Kid sighed in defeat and dropped the ring into Brainy’s palm.
“Just don’t get caught,” he muttered.
“As if,” Brainy snorted, taking to the air.
For the next twenty minutes, Invisible Kid counted the seconds to take his mind off of the pain. Never had he been more grateful to Karate Kid for teaching him that skill. Once, before Querl returned, Lyle checked the ring to see if his counting was on time, but the clock display was another one of those handy devices that wasn’t working.
After Querl returned to the barn, he half-carried Lyle to the outside of an upscale looking hotel. Somehow -Lyle wasn’t sure he wanted to know how- Brainy had gotten his hands on a backpack. It seemed to be filled with supplies and gadgets of all sorts.
Lyle managed to hold himself together long enough to sign for a room and get up the stairs. He pulled open the window to allow Brainy entrance, and retreated to the nearest bed.
After settling in like the soldiers they were, brainy immediately went to work on Lyle. Brainy was the best doctor the Legion had, but then, that was in his lab and med centers. Outside his comfort zone, Querl was only a decent field medic with the best of tools. There was no doubt in his mind that Kell-el far surpassed his menial skills. It was almost amusing the things Kell-el could fix with the worst equipment. Now Brainiac 5 wished very much that he had such skill. He didn’t see how he would be able to do much with the few instruments he had.
Folding his arms, Brainy turned to Lyle, trying to cover his uncertainty with a façade of confidence.
"You know the drill: Strip. Down to your underwear." Brainy dumped the contents if the backpack onto one of the beds.
Invisible Kid did the best he could, but the going was slow. Brainy bided his time by arranging the tools in alphabetical order, knowing Lyle would want to do this himself. When the brown-haired teen was done, it became obvious to Brainy that Lyle had sustained far more injuries than he was allowing his face to show. Along with numerous bruises, cuts and scrapes, Lyle also sported an arm broken in at least two places, and a slight concussion.
Brainiac 5 did what he could with the tools he had, but the little he could do wasn‘t much. So, once again massaging his temples, Brainy weighed his options. On the one hand, he could take his friend to a hospital, resulting in a paper trail-- something he was trying desperately to avoid. However, if he didn’t rely on the doctors of this century, he would have to take matters into his own his lip, Brainy picked up his belt and opened one of the pouches, revealing twelve vials of neon green liquid, held compact. Opening the pouch next to the first, he took out a small injector gun. In a moment, he had one vial loaded for an injection.
“You had better stay still, Lyle.” Brainy said in an almost maternal tone. “This will probably burn a lot at the broken bones, and I can definitely guarantee a massive headache from the concussion. Possible nausea as well. The process will be painful, but within a few hours, you’ll be at one hundred percent again.”
Lyle narrowed his eyes at the gun, and moved away from his green friend, his voice edging on anger. “Is that what I think that is?" he demanded.
Brainy tinkered with some knobs on the side of the gun, avoiding eye contact. "Yes. Now don't move," he ordered, stepping forward.
Lyle moved away from Brainy, glaring. "You can't give me that. You need that, by law."
Querl sighed. Sometimes it was hard to beat the police son out of Invisible Kid. "By law I am required to have three on me at all times. I carry twelve, just in case I'm on a prolonged mission. I'll take one right after you, so then I won't need another for six months. I needed to take one in a few days anyway."
Lyle looked distrustful. "Right now, we are here indefinitely. You're going to need all of them."
"Look, Lyle, if we can't build a time bubble from our end, I'll talk our team through building one on their end. We'll be here maybe a week, at the most." Brainy replied furiously. “Now stay still!”
Lyle blinked. "Oh…alright," he agreed, allowing Querl to approach him. Querl examined Lyle's neck for a vein and then injected the strange green liquid into his friend's neck.
It burned. Bad. It hurt more then all the injuries combined. Lyle gripped his friend‘s arm, his fingers digging into the green skin. "Oww," was all he could burning intensified and began to circulate through his system. By now it was all Lyle could do not to scream. He began to thrash in the effort to hold in the anguish. Brainy pulled Lyle close, holding him. Even after Brainy had become more human, he still did not enjoy touching others. In this case, however, he decided to ignore this discomfort.
"I know it hurts, I know. Just relax, give it a few minutes. This will be over soon," Brainy murmured, trying to keep his tone emotionless, unhurried. Lyle was sweating profusely, and Brainy moved one of his arms and stuck it in Lyle's mouth to prevent Lyle from biting off his own tongue. "This is just a moment in time. Stand back, let it happen, and then it will be gone." Brainy continued, wincing only slightly as Lyle bit down for a long moment. Then his jaw eased up, and his body went lax against Brainy's. Lyle pulled back, taking a deep breath.
"I think the worst of it is over. I… it’s just a dull throbbing ache now..."
"You’re right, the worst of it is over." Brainy assured him, standing and moving over to the bed with supplies on it so that Invisible Kid could lie down. "It would be best if you get some sleep."
Invisible kid didn't argue with that assessment. He crawled into the bed and veritably passed out. Brainy watched his friend for a second, smiling slightly. Once he was certain the brown haired teen was out, he put the empty glass vial from the gun back next to the ones that were filled. Then he put the gun away and put his belt back around his waist. Carefully he packed all the supplies he had out on the bed into a drawer and picked up Lyle’s discarded clothing, which he shoved into another drawer. He walked over to Lyle and took back his broken flight ring, putting the ring on his opposite hand. Looking carefully to make sure nothing was out of place, Brainy walked out onto the balcony and vanished into the night.
Lyle woke up to a new day. There were sounds of a shower coming from the bathroom, and on the nightstand sat a plate of toast, a glass of milk and a cup of something called alphabets, along with something that was liquid and smelled like cocoa.
Lyle sat up and took a piece of toast and walked to the bathroom door. He felt a lot better, the drug and the good night’s sleep really had done wonders. Lyle knocked against the door. "Thanks for getting me food. I'm starving!"
"Really?" Querl sounded surprised, even through the door. "Every time I take that, I feel like engaging in reverse paristalsis at the sight of food."
"Well, you take it for way different reasons then I took it. I mean, the drug is supposed to be smart, right? Maybe it has different side effects."
The sound of the water stopped. "I'll have to study it when we get back," he said, the statement simply an offhand comment. "I found out when we are, and it’s good news-- Superman's around. Just about a thousand miles away, so that's one step in the right direction. Bad news is, his parents are on vacation… so we can't just have them call to get him here. But-" Brainy's voice grew louder as he approached the door, "I figured out a relatively simple way to get him here."
"When did you do all of this?” Lyle asked in amazement.
"While you were out I did some recon," Brainy said simply. Something else else in the bathroom clunked as he moved around.
"You know, that was the first time I slept threw the whole night since Danni was born," Lyle commented, then grimaced, trying to push the thought of his son out of his mind. His worry kept bubbling up every time he pushed it away. Sighing, he went back the edge of his bed, sat down and focused on his food.
"That was the first time you've been away for more then a few hours, right?" Brainy didn't wait for response. "How are you doing with that?"
"I'm trying not to think about him, to be honest." Lyle replied, taking a bite of toast and chewing vigorously.
Brainy paused from behind the door for longer then he should have. Lyle could almost picture the look on the Querl's face-- indecision on whether or not he should push the subject. He didn't.
"Okay, I'm about to come out. You are not to laugh… am I clear?"
One thing that was really nice about Brainy was that ninety-nine percent of the time he knew exactly when to let something drop. He never pushed anyone into talking about something they’d rather not share. Whether this was because he didn’t think it was his place, or he knew what it was like growing up on a world where everyone could know your deepest thoughts, Lyle didn’t know. Or care. He was just glad Brainy was the way he was. Frowning, Lyle realized what Brainy had said.
Lyle relaxed on the bed a bit, glancing up at the door in confusion. "Why would I laugh?" he asked.
The door opened, and Lyle couldn't help himself. He laughed harder then he had in months, he laughed so hard he had trouble holding back tears. Brainy stood there looking terribly annoyed. But… it wasn't really Brainy, Brainy was green, and this Brainy had a pale skin tone. He had had done something to his forehead to cover the metal disks. He wore a blue-gray long sleeved button up shirt with black leather gloves, and he wore jeans and sneakers. He was even wearing ugly, thick, red-and-brown-rimmed glasses. Brainy was never one for fashion trends, but this looked almost over-the-top-dorky. Snorting, Brainy tossed some clothing at Lyle. “Would you rather be seen with a green human?” he demanded irritably.
"Almost," Lyle shot back with a snicker.
When Kara-el, who was known to the world as Linda Lee, walked into her science class, she expected a normal day. She paid no mind to the new faces behind her and sat down, prepared to be bored out of her mind. She knew everything in the textbooks, and all the work they did in chemistry she had been doing since she was nine.
"I want to talk to her; let me ask." One of the two boys behind her said in a very serious tone.
"You won’t be able to a to say a word." the second boy said, sounding bemused.
Kara tried her best to ignore the whispers and only turned her head after one of the boys poked her with a Pencil. Frowning, she half-turned in her chair and scrutinized the two new faces. They were both sitting calmly and seemed to be the same height. One of them wore large, thick glasses. He had green eyes and blonde hair and was dressed quite strangely, considering the weather. He was cute, but looked rather out of place; the boy next to him had brown eyes and hair of the same color. Dressed in mostly black, lose clothing, he looked considerably more normal than his companion. The brown-haired boy was nice-looking, though he wore a white headband across his forehead; that was something she had not yet seen anyone on this planet wear-- except in older movies Kal-el brought her.
"Can I help you?" she asked.
Staring blankly, the green-eyed boy made no reply.
The boy with the brown hair nudged his arm into the boys with gloves on. Quickly, the boy with the gloves seemed to snap awake. "Hi."
Rolling his eyes, the boy with brown hair grinned at Kara. It wasn't necessarily a friendly smile, but it was far from cruel. Mostly it was the grin of someone who knows something you do not. "My friend here would like to ask you something,” he said, jerking a thumb in the direction of the blonde boy.
The green eyes blinked twice. "Do you know if the lab is open after school?" he asked, looking like a deer in headlights.
The boy next to the blonde started to laugh as if his buddy had said the funniest joke ever told. Several students in the class started to give them odd looks; once the boy realized he was the center of attention he stopped cackling.
Kara shrugged and answered the blonde boy‘s question. "I don't know. I don't need it. You'll have to ask the teacher." she turned back to the front of the class, determined to ignore the two strange boys sitting behind her.
"I told you, you wouldn't be able to say anything," the boy with the head band was chuckling as he spoke. He sounded smug.
"Shut up, you level 10.5 moron!" the blonde hissed, sounded embarrassed and angry.
"See? I'm right! You only invoke my I.Q. level when you're irritated because I’m right."Kara froze. Level I.Q. rating from 1 to 12 was something they did on her home world, not on earth. Something else else was not right with the strangers behind her. For the second time that morning a pencil poked Kara's back. She turned to face the boys again.
"I'm sorry Linda, but that question my friend just asked you wasn't what he really wanted to get out. Do you mind if he tries again?"
Kara blinked in surprise. These two were new and she hadn’t introduced herself so how did they know her name?
The boy with green eyes stared at Kara for another long second. He took a long, deep breath looked right into her eyes and spoke. "Will you be my girlfriend?"
The boy with the head band shook his head and smacked his blonde friend on the back of the head. He grinned nervously in her direction and didn't break eye contact as he spoke to his friend. "No, that wasn't it. Try again." He sounded a bit agitated.
The boy with the gloves seemed a bit lost, and shook his head slightly. "Right… that wasn't what I wanted to ask…" he glared for a split second at his companion, who just rolled his eyes. "…apparently." The final word came out as a mutter. He seamed to disagree with the brown haired boy. He made a movement to touch his face but stopped himself millimeters for he actually did. "I’m sorry. You see, I’m having a bit of a problem. You are very attractive and it's a bit distracting. I'd ask you to turn around again and ask you with your back turned… but I'd just end up starring at your butt, so that really won't solve the problem." The boy stopped speaking and looked horrified.
Kara didn't say a word, she just stared at him, her mouth hanging slightly open in shock. She had been called good looking before, but that was mostly without the ugly wig and glasses.
After pausing for an awkward moment, the blonde boy glanced at his companion worriedly. "Lyle,” he murmured, sounding horrified, “did I just say that out loud?"
The brown haired boy threw his right arm around the blonde's neck, grinned and pulled him into a half hug. He had a pen in the hand he threw around his friend, and waved it teasingly. "I know you're not going to find this funny today, and you're not going to find it funny tomorrow, but when you do, I just want you to know I recorded that."

~A Fourth Ring~
Kara didn't get a chance to say anything else to the duo, because the teacher entered the room, stopped short and stared at the two new people in the room.
"Can I help you boys?" she demanded, raising one of her long gray eyebrows and folding her arms across her chest.
The one called Lyle turned up the charm, smiling at her. "We're new. I'm Lyle Norg and this is my step brother Earl Docks,” he said, gesturing at the dorky blonde. “We just transferred in, and we were told this was our first class." The boy with the green eyes stared at the teacher but didn't speak, looking the teacher in the eyes.
The teacher stared at the two for a long moment. "I didn't get any notice about this… you two look to young to be in here.” she grumbled. “This was probably another mix up-- you need to pass my personal inspection to get into this class! Sit tight; I'm going to send you down to the office after roll call and have them give me a transcript of your grades." she unfolded her arms but glared at the boy with the green eyes. "And take off your gloves while you are in my class."
Kara noticed he looked uncomfortable with that idea.
He tightened his hands bit, and did not break eye contact with the teacher. "I'd rather not," he said firmly.
Lyle spoke up for a second time. "He was in a fire when two years ago burned his hands pretty bad-- they're over-sensitive to light and touch."
Kara tried to peek under the gloves but couldn't. She blinked and tried to see underneath anything that was underneath them and was still unsuccessful. She backed up in her chair a little, concern blossoming in her chest. That was not good.
The Teacher looked cross as if she wasn't buying the ‘two-year fire’ tale Lyle had weaved. "If you two do belong here, I want a note from his doctor."
They nodded hesitantly, and waited until she called roll and sent them on their way. Although both looked a little reluctant to leave, they departed when told to. Kara watched as they stood in the hallway, not talking for a long minute. They were giving one another odd looks, so they were communicating somehow. They stood making faces and hand gestures, then headed in the opposite direction that they were sent to. They didn't speak but neither of them looked at all happy. One of them, the boy with brown hair, made an odd movement with his hand and ran off to the bathroom. The green eyed boy stood looking clueless, then shrugged and continued on his way.
With the strangers gone, Kara went back to staring at the boy two seats to the left of her. She had never really spoken to him, but he looked like someone she had dated back on her own planet. He seemed to be like him too. Both were nice, funny, and had two different colored eyes. That was what separated the earthling from the boy she used to know. Of course, she had not had any idea of who she was, so by the time she had gotten the hang of life as a teen on earth every one had branded her a freak.
Kara sat in class and half listened to what her teacher was talking about. The only thing that caught her attention was when the teacher made an inaccurate statement-- it was something no earth scientist recognized yet. Moments like these sorely tempted her to become a person of science outside of school when she was old enough-- just so she would feel better about wasting her sitting in the classroom.
After what felt forever, the class was over. The bell rang and there was a rush to get from one class to the next. Kara did her best not to touch any one and kept her head down. She tried to be invisible, because when she was Linda Lee that was what she wanted to be.
Life on earth was so different from the life she’d had before her father had saved her. For starters, the school system on Krypton was fitted to every individual, while on earth it was just the opposite; everyone was required to fit into a mold that clearly didn't work for many. Her home planet social life was so different she couldn't even begin to compare them. Teens on earth screamed for attention and tried to simultaneously be invisible.
Avoiding people was easy, because nobody wanted to touch the freak.
Out of the coroner of her eye she thought she saw blonde, green-eyed boy. But when she turned for a better look, he wasn't there. She had to find out who he and his 'step-brother' were; the last thing she wanted was to fight some super villain in the middle of school.
Turning back around, she bumped into someone, throwing them across the hall. "Oh no." Kara whispered. "I'm so sorry!"
It was the boy that had the mismatched eyes. He looked angry. "Watch it, you freak!” Kara tried to help him up, but he slapped her hand way. "Why would I want your help, damn weirdo!"
"I'm really sorry-- I didn’t mean--"
"Why don't you just go home? You don't belong here!" he snarled, pushing her. Kara fell back more in shock than in an attempt to look normal.
Kara felt like she was going to cry. It had been an accident. She hadn't meant for him to fall, she didn't mean for the slightest touch to send a human flying-- it just happened under a yellow sun. A crowd had gathered around them at this point.
"She said she was sorry!" the blonde, gloved boy seemed to appear at her wasn't yelling but it was very clear he was upset. He was glaring very angrily at the boy with the mismatched eyes.
Kneeling down, he helped Kara to her feet, glancing at her for a second. His face softened and he smiled, then it reverted to the scowl he directed at Kara's classmate. If anything, his glare got colder.
"Oh look… the freak has boyfriend coming to her rescue," the boy with mismatched eyes said disdainfully.
She felt the green-eyed boy’s fingers tighten reassuringly around her. Again, she noticed that he was cute, but something about him was very off. Although she wasn't getting a bad vibe from him or his brown-haired 'step-brother', he seemed to know more about her than he should. That was a bit scary, but it was getting easier to just think of him as a very cute, slightly dorky guy who had come to her rescue.
"It was an accident. Anyone with eyes could see that," the blond voice got very cold. "Apologize for shoving Linda."
The boy with the mismatched eye stood two feet taller than the blonde, and had what looked like fifty pounds more weight on him. "No." he snapped, and pushed Kara’s shoulder again. This time she had to think about it and go with it so his hand wouldn't break.
It happened so fast Kara was too shocked to stop it; The boy who had come to Kara's rescue let go and hit the taller teen in the stomach. Doubling over in pain, her attacker didn’t notice as her rescuer raised one arm and brought it down against the taller teen's back. The bully hit the floor with a loud smack, knocked out by the force of his fall.
The green-eyed boy turned his furious look on the crowd, and they moved aside, giving him the room. Grasping Kara’s seemingly delicate hand in his gloved one, the blonde boy pulled her after him. They were a good distance away from the crowd before he spoke, his voice soft. None of the anger that had been there moments before could be found in his tone as he glanced up at her. "Don't waste time worrying about guys like that; at the height of his life, he’ll probably run a gas station."
They continued walking, now nearly ninety feet away from where the crowd was. The green eyed boy went on talking. "But you, you're amazing-- the kind of girl that people a thousand years from now will still be talking about."
He pulled her in another hall way the intersected with the main hall-- it was far less crowded. Staring at him so hard she could have sworn her X-ray vision was on, Kara realized again she couldn't see through this teenager; the thought was unsetting "Who are you?" she demanded.
He turned, looked at her let her hand go, he almost looked sad that she asked "I'm--"
"What part of low profile do you not get?" the brown haired boy appeared from around the corner. "You're unbelievable, you know that? I can't go any where with you!" the brown haired boy looked very, very upset. "We need to be gone, now!"
The green-eyed boy nodded. "Yeah, I know." he smiled at Kara and brought her hand up to his lips and kissed it. "Until next time, Kara of the Zor-El."
When he let go there was a note in her hand-- it had that hadn't been in his hand moment a ago. He ran off with the brown haired boy and dashed around the corner again; she used her x-ray vision, but they were gone. She in unfolded the note.
------ "Now that we can't go back there… What should we do?" Lyle sighed and let out a short yawn. It was a nice day outside-- it really was a shame they had planed to spend their time inside. Still, despite his good night of sleep he was still exhausted.
Lyle had calmed down once they’d left the school; he couldn't really be that mad at the Clouan, Brainy tended to treat girls in an over-the-top chivalrous manner. That had been a nightmare when he first joined the Legion, as it made him look condescending with chauvinist tendencies. After awhile, however, he and the female team mates seemed to work out a balance. Brainy really didn't like it when males picked on females, and had taken it upon himself to be a defender of any female-- so long as they weren't trying to kill him or his teammates.
Brainy glaced at the watch he had bought, since his ring could no longer tell time. It was close to noon.
"You said 4:30 in the park in the note, right?"
Invisible kid nodded in affirmation.
Brainy began pacing. "I can't really do anything with out getting in touch with Clark, we really need to see what wrong with my ring, and I didn't steal enough from Lex to buy any type of Tec. So I can't work on anything, and we can't do anything that will make this face paint run."
Lyle took a deep breath of fresh air; it was one thing he never got back home "So… want to go eat some ice cream and try that thing they call Pizza that Clark kept going on and on about? Oh and get a movie that is supposed to take place around our time and see how wrong they are?"
Brainy raised an eyebrow, turning to glance at his friend. "You want to go back to the hotel room?" he didn't look happy with that idea. Lyle could see that the scientist in the Coluan wanted to explore 21st century life so he could write papers about it later.
"I'm still tired… I could use a nap,” Lyle said weakly.
Brainy didn't argue about going back to the hotel, though he voiced his complaints and disbelief that the brown haired earthling could still be tired. "You were asleep for two days… how can you be tired?" to him sleeping that long was a crime. If Brainy got six hours of straight sleep he would be angry with himself for wasteing time.
Invisible kid gave Brainy a look "I was out for two days?" he demanded, thinking about the knowledge for a long moment "I must have been more whipped then I thought, what with the stress of a new three month old who hates me and all that."
They crossed the street and cut through an alley to get to the back of the hotel. Fortunately, it was close to the school so it wasn't much of a walk. "Your son may be three months old, but he doesn't hate you."
Brainy had originally invited Lyle out for this very reason-- the earthling was convinced Danni hated him and although Brainy was given this information by a neutral party, it was Chemical King's way of asking Brainy for help.
"My son has cried every second I have ever held him." Querl opened his mouth to say something, but Lyle dint give him the chance to speak. "He'll stop the second any one else holds him, he wont let me feed him, and screams if I'm the only one in the room with him-- my son hates me."
It was hard to argue with Lyle; Danni was really the most well behaved baby in the known universe… unless Lyle was any where near him. Even if some one else was holding Danni and Lyle was near the baby, the closer Lyle got, the fussier and generally not happy the baby became. "Come on, he's three months old. You’ve got to give him time before you make that statement. Like a year."
"That's not really helping," Lyle muttered. Lyle didn't think he could take a year of his son crying because of him.
The two retreated to the room in which they had in taken up residence. After renting a movie that was very off from how the world really worked in their time and trying pizza for the first time. Neither of them liked it, and both were determined to introduce Clark to really good food for teens on the go. Lyle had taken a short nap and when he awoke, Brainy had been lying stomach-down on the bed, flipping through the channels on the TV screen. Every four seconds the station would change. Lyle knew the look on the Coluan’s face-- he was absorbing information, entranced. That was good, because that was really the best time to talk to Querl, when he was focused on something else. Best time to get any gossip, too, if he knew any.
"Do you mind if I ask you something personal?"
Brainy didn't move his head. "Shoot."
"Why aren't you speaking to Rond? Right now he could building a time cube we could be On or way home."
Brainy hadn't spoken to Rond in a few months, and there were several layers to that question. Brainiac 5 chose to take the very literal form of the question, not the subtext. "Time calculation math is very, very advanced, there aren't that many people who know how to check the calculations. If he's off with the smallest mistake he could cause a rent in time that can destroy all history in the universe. It may take a few days, but I'm confident that I can work something out from our end."
Brainy's ego was too big to ever admit that he too could possibly make a mistake on his end; it never even factored into his line of thinking. But Brainiac 5 had a point; there was most likely five people that could check that kind of math and they could take years doing it.
"So why aren't you talking to Rond in general?"
"Rond knows what he did," Brainy said firmly. Nothing on Brainiac 5's face changed, which meant that the fight Brainiac 5 was having with his best friend wasn't what was bothering Querl. Brainy had the most obvious looks in all of the legion when it came to lies or keeping secrets; keeping his face expressionless was not one of them.
That just made Lyle’s job that much harder; if had been Rond, at least he knew a jumping point on how to get Brainiac 5 back to normal… but since it wasn't, it was going to be hard. Brainy had lived a year and change away from the Legion, he’d met tons of people in that time, and had plenty of experiences that he wouldn't talk about, any one of them could be the problem.
Brainiac 5 didn't stop what he was doing; he remained focused on the TV, a completely blank face staring at the screen. "I know what you’re doing, and you can tell Saturn girl I'm fine, there is nothing wrong."
"I'm not-"
"I may not be able to read minds, but I know Saturn girl. I bet the second I was out of ear shot she asked you to find out what was wrong." his voice was calm, with no inflection at all. "She thinks I'm about to have a break down. Next time you talk to her, you will tell her I'm fine-- because I am." Querl stood suddenly, turning off the television. "We need to get going; I want to be at the Park before Super Girl."
By four thirty it was chilly out, and despite how warm the spring day was earlier, the park had now been cleared of any people. Kara had dropped her Linda Lee look for the meeting. They knew who she was; it was pointless to pretend now. She had no clue as to their reason for meeting her, the note had been extremely vague. Just a time and a place with the word please after it.
She scanned the horizon but neither boy was visible.
"Wow I thought you looked breath taking as Linda." the boy with the green eyes’ voice said appreciatively from behind her.
Kara spun around and pulled up in a defensive stance. The two teens were standing behind her, the boy with the green eyes was smiling and gave a sort of half wave. The boy with the brown hair and head band gave his friend half of an eye roll. "We come in peace." the boy with the head band said in a very humorous tone, smiling with is hands up in a very surrender-like manner.
"Who are you?" Kara demanded. She didn't want to play any games.
The boy with the green eyes spoke this time. He showed her his flight ring "My real name is Querl Dox and his name really is Lyle Norg, We are legionnaires-"
"Really?" Kara beamed and dropped her defensive stance and covered her mouth like she was praying, her let the smile peek out from both sides of her hands. "Are you here to ask me to join you like Kall?"
It wasn't very often that Lyle wished that the formula he had made to make him invisible, also did different things like give him super speed so he could think faster then Brainiac 5.
This was one of those times.
Before his thoughts could come up with a response, Brainiac 5 did. Apparently since he had come to her rescue he was now capable of putting words in to sentences around her with out making him look like a complete moron-- either that or hours of TV from this time era had dumbed him down enough so he wouldn't over think what he was saying.
"Once we’re able to get home I would love it if you came with us and joined our team. I think you'd like it in our time… You might even want to stay," he said, smiling at her, with none of the telltale signs of lying. Brainy meant every word that he was saying; it was at that moment Lyle realized that contacting Super Girl was quite possibly the worst idea Brainiac 5 had ever had. It was clear he was smitten with the Maid of Might and he was going to do every thing in his power to get her to come with them. Brainy may not have known where the path he was treading on right now was going, but Lyle could.
Brainy could read most people well, what made Lyle so important to the legion was he could read Brainy, and Lyle knew that when Brainy was fixated on something, he was going to do it no matter what the cost. And he was fixed on Super girl, whether he knew it our not.
"You can't get home?" her smile faded slightly. She touched Brainy's arm. "Is there anything I can do to help?"
"Yes." Lyle spoke up, a little worried that she was flirting with Querl. "We need you to call your cousin, and have him bring his flight ring here."
Her smile faded a bit more. "That's it?" she asked, having been hoping for something more dramatic than a phone call.
Brainy opened his mouth but Lyle nudged his side to shut the Coluan up. Brainy glared at his friend, but Lyle ignored him and spoke again before Brainy had a chance. "We don't know his number, and we tried to call directory to get in touch but there are forty two Clark Kents in metropolis its not like we can call each one and say 'Superman? Hi, it's your friends for the 30th century can you bring that ring we gave you to your home town?"
She thought about and laughed slightly, "I guess your right. I can call him, but i'm going to have to go home, I don't have a cell phone." she turned towered the bushes where she had hid her close a good fiftty feet way. "Let me get changed first." in a flash she was gone and back. She still had everything from school on her.
"Let me help you with your books," Brainaic 5 moved closer to Super Girl and gently reached for the books.
"It's okay, they’re not heavy. Well… not to me," she didn't let go of them and didn't really look him the eyes; she missed the days when cute boys asked to carry her things.
"Nonsense, what kind of gentleman doesn't offer to carry a beautiful lady’s things?" Brainy replied. She let go and blushed slightly at his words. "Ready to go, guys?"
"Actually, it's just going to be me." Brainy smiled. "Lyle’s going to head back to where we're staying and report in Saturn girl, the current leader." he said the words with such authority the Lyle knew he was going to be doing that, whether he wanted to or not. "He has lots to tell her."
Lyle knew Querl was talking about their earlier conversation, and couldn’t help feeling like he was watching a train wreck. Something else else huge and powerful was about to cause a painful disaster, but in no way could he even dream of stopping it himself. Good thing he was friends with Superman; Superman knew how to stop a train wreck.
In his mind, Invisible Kid was hoping that Super Girl would insist that he should tag along. "I don't really need to be there for a phone call, still, it would be better if we stuck together." Lyle made a point of sounding like he wanted to come, but was being left out. He was give Brainy a look, but Brainiac 5 ignored him.
"…No, I think you should report in-- you don't want the whole team worrying, you know how crazy every one get when someone misses ‘check-in’ time," Querl replied dismissively. Lyle knew if he insisted on coming that Super Girl would know something was up. Invisible Kid was holding on to the hope that she was just being nice and not really flirting back; actually, he was praying for it. "Well then… I'll see you little later." Lyle said slowly, then turned himself invisible and floated away.
Lyle had just walked in the hotel door when the phone rang. On his way back he’d stopped to get something called Chinese; setting down the food he picked up the phone. "Yes?"
"I have good news, and better news… and some news you are not going to be thrilled with." Brainy's voice crackled from what Lyle guessed to be the Kent's house line. "What do you want me to start with?"
"From bad to better, if you don't mind," Lyle answered.
"Well, Clark was able to get us one of the most sophisticated technological places on this planet to work in, but we have to wait until Saturday. The owner wants to make sure we won’t be “up to no good”, so getting home has been pushed back a few days."
Lyle wasn't thrilled, but then again, beggars really couldn't be choosers. "Okay, so the good news is?"
"Super Man is letting us stay at his parents house-- he called them and they okayed it." Lyle really didn't want to call that good news, because now Querl and Kara where going to be under the same roof. "They have a barn, so we can work on getting home at any hour of the day with out being seen. Its far from anyone in town so we don't have to worry about people finding out our secret."
Lyle stooped to think for a second-- maybe that was good news. "And the better news?"
"I was talking to Kara and I think some of the technology that's in her and Superman's space craft from Krypton could be used to substitute for a fourth ring."
"You're kidding, that's great news!" Lyle exclaimed.
"Do me a favor-- call Rond have him brain storm on what we can use, and how far we can stretch three working rings. Also, if we cant get my ring working, what would be the best substitute for it in this time period? Even if it's not on this rock, superman is willing to help us so if it’s possible to get, we can get it. Have him do the major math and have both Chameleon Boy then Dream Girl check it."
"Got it. Any thing else?"
"just check out of the hotel at when your ready to make sure it's clean, and head over here if we not here the code to get in is 06301938."
"Wait. Why won't you be there?"
Querl suddenly stoped speaking english he started speaking intergalactic. "I asked Super girl out, you know to show me the town. And she said yes I'm not one hundred percent sure if it's a date or not-- I don't think I was that clear when I asked. Either way, we may be gone for awhile."
"Brainy, that is a very bad idea." Lyle’s tone was dangerously low. Had he been standing next to the Coluan, he might've hit him.
There was a pause on Brainy's side of the line. Still speaking in a language Kara couldn't "I know," He said offhandedly after a moment, like he wasn't really paying attention. "But… I'm going to tell you something I have never told any one else." there was a slight pause. "I really do have a thing for blondes that can snap me in half."
Before Lyle could say another word, Brainy hung up. Lyle grabbed his head and rubbed his temples; Brainy was giving him a massive headache. He walked to the bathroom splashed cold water on his face. Turning, he held his ring up-- to his surprise, Rond answered. He could see both Dream Girl and Chameleon Boy sitting behind Rond.
"Saturn girl said you be checking in around now. I told her you were going to ask for Rond. " Dream Girl said; her voice was soft and lazy as ever.
"Boss lady is on a date with an agricultural technician; he stormed in and kidnapped her. It was brutal-- I'm going to have nightmares for weeks!" Chameleon boy fell back dramatically. "We were helpless to stop him! Helpless, I tell you, helpless!"
Lyle filled the three of them in on the plan. Rond took the orders with out question, but after every thing had been explained, Rond spoke. “By having you talk to me, does this mean Brainy's still mad at me?" he asked, not looking at Lyle.
"You're still dating his ex, right?" Dream girl spoke with the smallest of smiles.
Chameleon Boy leaned back over the group. "I'm going to say… no."
“I'm going to give him another week he can't fuction with out me.” rond smiled at Dream girl. “isn't that right?”
"He said you knew what you did." Lyle replied, then grinned. "I should get going, but before I go, I have something to show you-- promise me you will show this to everyone."
