You're half right. The second soeaker IS Brainy, but the first is Cosmic Boy, from the Mano storyline. (Legionnaires 20, IIRC).
But since you only need to get one, the next Q is yours!

Ok, here we go...
"Easy, ___ ___, there was no way you could've spotted that cameraman."
You need to tell me who is speaking, who is being spoken to, and which story the quote is from.

OK, time for some vague hints.
This quote is from a story which was a sequel to another story. There was at least 10 years between the stories.
If nobody gets it by tomorrow, I'll post a very helpful hint.

OK, some more definite hints. I think this is a tough one so don't get all broken up if you don't know it.
In the issue in which this quote appears, there are several other Legion stories. The story this quote is from is the only story in this issue which is not a reprint.
This story was published in the 1980s, and each paragraph in this post contains a hint.

OK, time to make it obvious, I guess. The story this appears in is the sequel to a story that appeared in Adventure # 371. The "broken up" phrase was supposed to be a tip-off.

The quote must be from the issue of Adventure Comics that is a sequel to the original Tarik's Acedmy story when Gim's parents are converted to glass (maybe 504?)
As for who is speaking? Haven't a clue without looking it up. Maybe Cos?
Spoken to? Gim?

Ok, I guess this has gone on long enough. The speaker is Sun Boy, and he is speaking to Colossal Boy. The story is indeed "Murder in Glass," the only original story that appeared in the digests. Varalent correctly identified the story, and I have stalled the thread enough, so Varalent, the next quote is yours.

My apologies for the delay. I lost track of this thread and had to be reminded by IB! Thanks IB!
I'll post a question when I get home today.

Looks like we're finally back....so here's a quick quote from the first issue I could put my hands on this early AM....anyone who knows me should be able to guess this quickly! "We traced you here and arrived just in time..." "Why the lead suits?" We feared you wouldn't accept us if you knew who we were..." To what two soon to be Legionnaires does this quote refer?

I believe this was a reference to the descendents of Luthor and Mr. Mxpltxk - well, ok, I have no idea how to spell his name. This was from...ummm...the Adult Legion story, I think?

Ok, this story was published in the early 80s. I think it was from a Gerry Conway story.

Is no one even guessing this?
It was Lightning Lad, wasn't it? He was the only one I can ever recall being adventuresome with cooking (excepting Tenzil).

My pleasure, Lancesrealm.
This one may be easy. Or, it may not.
Identify the speaker and the main character of the story in which the quote appeared.
"Become weightless, you hussies, and float away!"

Whether you go to Weight Watcher's or not, you'd be walking on air at the whim of the legionnaire who spoke this line.
