Last day of CxB week 2014.

This theme was suggested by me because I wanted to go something in honor of the passing of Robin Williams.

In Memoriam Saturday

Though before the sorcerer brat that would not be named, Brainy didn't believe in magic. In general his people found the existence of something that so defied logic and scientific boundaries could not possibly be real. And yet the brat took all of Brainy's reasoning and turned his world upside down and made it wild and chaotic until the brat was taking away kicking and screaming by his home world.

Still, despite Brainy's acceptance of magic, Brainy never thought, had dared to hope, that he would not encounter it again. It was simply a headache.

That is why when Brainy saw a blue humanoid with a wisp of energy instead of legs flying about Metropolis, Brainy would have flown in the opposite direction if Superman had not seen it as well. Instead they flew after it, Superman curious as to what the being was and what it wanted.

As if to annoy Brainy the being turned out to be a genie. A genie whom had been wished free some millennia ago and wondered around the universe to return to Earth on occasion to see how it progress. This genie, whose name was Genie as well, as a free energetic being with the random thought process of a standup comic.

Unfortunately Superman found Genie hilarious so he stuck around and was introduced to the others whom shared Superman's sentiment that Genie was excellent company. Brainy tried to hide in the lab until the genie got bored and poofed away but the genie seemed to think Brainy needed "cheering up" and popped up randomly which usually ended up in a explosion and a mild heart attack if Brainy had been capable of having on.

"Come on Brain-a-riffic, there's got to be something to turn that frown upside down," Genie floated around behind Brainy as the Coluan attempted to clean up, not understanding why it angered the green boy when Genie snapped his fingers to clean it all up instantly.

"I am Brainiac Five, not "Brain-a-riffic", and I like my frown the way it is," Brainy all but shouted wondering where he could find a lamp to stuff the genie into and weld it shut.

"Come on, there's got to be something you wish for," Genie smiled, undeterred.

"You're a free genie, you don't grant wishes," Brainy felt the need to remind him.

"I don't have to grant wishes, I can chose to; that's the great thing about being free," Genie floated around until he was in Brainy's line of vision. "General rules still apply though. No brining people back from the dead and I can't make anyone fall in love, though the no wishing for more wishes rule is mute now." He floated back around when Brainy turned away again. "Come on, what you want can't be that bad. Sometimes just letting your wish out into the world makes all the difference."

"You can't grant my wish," Brainy hoped he hadn't said that with a sigh.

"Ah, love sick," Genie suddenly popped an old fashioned glass thermometer into Brainy's mouth, the red inside shooting to the end and breaking the glass, making little red hearts float all around the room. "I knew it."

Brainy spit out the thermometer and started to run around, trying to catch the hearts and shove them into a beaker, "Don't talk about what you know nothing about!"

"Come on Brain-tastic, I've been around for a long time, I know how it works, I can see the signs," Genie suddenly poofed so he was wearing a Superman suit and had Clark's hair with the curl in the bangs but still kept his twirled beard and blue skin. "You like your men super."

All Brainy could do was let out a frustrated groan, contemplating throwing the beaker full of hearts at the genie.

"That works out well," Superman's voice sent a rare shiver of terror down Brainy's spine but when he turned and saw Superman smiling at him, he forgot all about it. "Since I like mine Brainy."

"I'll just leave you two love birds alone," Genie said in a hushed tone and finally poofed away though Brainy hardly noticed for Superman had crossed the room and kissed Brainy's cheek and Brainy had dropped the beaker, making the little hears float all around them.
