Chapter Ten: Losing Time

Legion HQ, the 31st Century

Things used to annoy Brainiac Five before had become distant, non-important. He found himself working on a new project, barely talking to the Legionaries as he once did. He felt he was still a member in appearance but in his mind and soul he served a different master. He did not waste time preparing for the test he had set out for himself to plant the first seed of distrust in the mind of Cosmic Boy. It was only a seed now and often seeds grew, sending out their roots out to take hold very quickly.

Quickly he put the pieces together as he worked and he knew what had to be done putting the last few components into the machine. Querl knew that the plan would only work if he knew where to plant the next seed. He had brought up the feeds from the holo-cams and found the Legion doing what they normally did in situations of distress, trying to cheer each other up with food, stories and jokes. He took his time coming out of the lab and heading to the spot where they had gathered, the Mess Hall.

"I'll tell you something, when Cosmic Boy came out there and said that Planets pulled out of the U.P., I knew he would say Braal," Ultra-Boy was saying, an arm around Phantom Girl. On his other side was Sun Boy who seemed just as concerned and irritated as they all seemed. "With all the nass-hell crap going on there I'm surprised they waited this long to do it."

"You think Cosmic Boy will go back there, to try and stop what ever is going on do you," Phantom girl asked and then turned and noticed Brainiac Five. "Oh, hey Brainy, nice to see you out of the lab."

"I came to see how everyone was holding up after the meeting. It was very grim news Cosmic Boy gave us."

"It took you four hours to come out and see how we were doing," Sun Boy asked, arching an eyebrow at him. Brianiac Five narrowed his own eyes ever so slightly before they suddenly turned warm.

"I didn't know what to say at first, so I took my time but I do agree with your thoughts especially yours Phantom Girl. Maybe Rokk has been in contact with Braal and with his brother this whole time."

Her pale eyes widen it shock, and she turned to him fully. "What do you mean?"

"Pol is his brother, I suspect he would keep in contact with him to keep in touch out of family loyalty. Bad as it sounds it is something I would do in the same situation."

He had found a thread and he was going to run with it. Disloyalty among the Legion members would serve his Dark Master well. He watched her think about his words and then nod in agreement with them. It wouldn't be hard, at least not with her. She was looking for someone to blame and he was willing to give her something to blame.

"You think he's hiding something," Ultra Boy asked and he nodded again.

"The whole situation seems worse than he is willing to tell us, don't you think?"

Jo nodded. This was the second seed and he had planted it in the minds of three people. This was turning out just like he wanted it. Sun Boy though didn't seem all too sure of his idea but it was alright. The doubt was there and it was all he needed. He turned away and walked back towards the lab but he couldn't help but feel a probing thought that he was forgetting to do something. It faded though and he went back to the lab.

Central City, the 21st Century

Supergirl

Boomer and I went back, far back. Back when I was just starting out and wondering if I really should be Supergirl or not he came into my life and helped lead me back in the right direction. We've been friends ever since than, always looking out for each other and at the moment I needed his friendship more than ever.

I couldn't help note he was like Querl in many ways struggling to distant himself from his super-villain relations in Boomer's case his father the villainous, deceased Captain Boomerang and trying to turn it into a good and honorable name in the super-hero community. Stubborn, never gave up once his mind was made up, true to him impulses, willing to endure whatever it took to win and often in this business surviving to fight for another day meant you won. Together we struggle against family legacies, his father's and mine with Superman, we were each wanting to be recognized for who we are and not just our predecessors. Plus Boomer and I loved and often shared Chunky Monkey Ice Cream together when he stayed over at my place.

"This Legion of Super-Heroes, what's it like," he asked me, as we talked over a plate of salsa dip and chips and ice cold Pepsi. "I know your planning to go back there, maybe if Brainy ever calls again."

"The Legion of Super-Heroes is unlike any group I've ever been with. They all seem to understand each other and don't fight like other groups seem to. They get along better than the Justice League or the Teen Titans. More than that... I felt like I belonged there and when I was there everything was right."

He watched me carefully for a few moments before he smirked, shaking his head. "Your in love, just admit it. I can see it on your face."

"Alright, alright, I'm in love," I said, laughing. "I love their world, their universe. Most of all..."

"You love him."

I stared at Boomer and I saw a bit of jealousy on his face and hurt in his eyes, I reached over and touched his hand and he cupped my hand in his. Boomer was a good friend, one of my best friends. I had always known he wanted more than that. He looked up at me and I nodded.

"Yes, I love him. Even if I'm a little annoyed at him right now. I just wish he would call me. I just want to know if he's alright."

"You really should find someone who would do anything to be with you. A man who would never hurt you and would take care of you no matter what."

I was about to say something when Andromeda came in. It had been a few weeks since they first arrived in the 21st century, gathering allies took a while. She seemed happy about something and worried at the same time.

"Do you think I could borrow Kara for a little bit, Boomer," she asked and he nodded. Even I noticed how he compared how similar Andromeda and I were in looks, build, height, almost as if we were twin sisters but different versions of the same person.

"Go ahead, I'll be here when she comes back."

I followed Andromeda to the balcony in the next room and she seemed to be even more nervous than she was before. She also seemed brighter than before, her eyes shining in the light. For a moment it was almost like she was glowing. Then she turned to me and said;

"We have to wait for a while to go back to the future."

"Why?"

"Kara, I'm going to have a baby."

I stared at her in shock for a moment before a smile broke out on my face and I hugged her. "Oh, that's wonderful! Code is going to be so happy! When did you find out?"

"Well, I was on the ship giving myself a standard check up to make sure again the lead of this world wasn't effecting me and it came up in the blood test. I want you there when I tell Code. I can't believe I got knocked up the first time we...we..." Andromeda blushed and I had to stifle a giggle at her reaction.

"What are you going to do when you give birth? I don't think taking a baby into a war zone is the best thing for it."

"I won't be separated from my child," she said stubbornly, shaking her head. "I won't bring my boy to the battlefield, don't worry about that."

"You know it's a boy already?"

Andromeda nodded. "Yes, Our technology can tell us what the baby's gender is when the baby is just days old in the womb."

"Let's go find Code and you can tell him the good news." I said. I quickly told Boomer about the baby and the change in tonight's plans. He took it well and gave me a goodnight kiss on the forehead and congratulations to Andromeda and he left. We both went to look for Code, as long as we got there in time to fight against Darkseid, I was alright with waiting for a while for the baby's sake. Besides, it was time travel and we could arrive before Darkseid's big attack. I was so happy for Andromeda and Code. Finally something good happened to them.

I just hoped something good would happen for me and Querl. Maybe someday we'll have our own bundle of joy.

Legion HQ, the 31st Century

Cosmic Boy

I knew something was wrong the moment I left my room. In just mere hours there was a bad feeling in the air, like a dark cloud was hanging over the whole HQ. I shrugged of the feeling off and made my way to the Mess Hall for lunch when I found Ultra-Boy, actually he found me.

I could tell he was angry, just in the way he was moving. Not to mention his expression. He strode up to me and glared at me. "Tell me the truth."

"What do you mean?"

"Tell me what really happened at the Summit. I know your hiding the truth."

"I'm not, believe me. I'm your leader, why would I hide the truth from you?"

Jo grabbed the front of my shirt, lifting me up and slamming me up against the wall. Someone had been talking to him, I could see it in his eyes. I put my hands against his arms, trying to get him to let go but ready to use my powers if need be. He just simply looked up at me, his eyes dark.

"Just tell me the truth. I want to know."

I had been hiding things from them because I thought it would bring them further down than they already were now I could see hiding the truth was accomplishing the thing I had been trying to prevent. It had been Brainiac Five's suggestion to continue to hide the truth and I couldn't help but wonder now why he had told me that. It wasn't like him. I sighed.

"You really want to know the truth? A race from the Second Galaxy called the Kwai are preparing to invade U.P. Space if we don't bow down to their new god and some of the planets that have pulled their support from the United Planets have joined them. We are days from a new intergalactic war. Satisfied?"

It calmed him down. He let me go Jo looked a little sheepish to tell the truth I felt a lot better getting the truth off my chest. A weight had been removed but not the uneasy feeling unfortunately. Ultra Boy shook his head.

"Sorry Cos, I let my anger get the better of me."

I patted his shoulder, "No problem. Just try not to do it again. Next time you have a question, just ask me and I'll tell you. No more secrets."

It seem to satisfy him even more and he nodded. When he turned around I saw Phantom Girl saying something to Timber Wolf. I went to say hello but they just looked at me for a moment and walked away. It was a miscalculation in my leadership I had made, keeping the truth from them and now I was paying the price.

I couldn't have this. Not now. I went to find Saturn Girl because maybe she could find out what was going on with Brainiac Five.

Outside Legion HQ, the 31st Century

Brainiac Five could feel the presence of his Dark Master growing closer and closer. It felt good knowing he was helping to prepare the Legion with every word he said he could feel their own minds darkening, their loyalties shifting. It felt good.

At the same time however there was always a thought in the back of his mind, a small voice trying to tell him that what he was going was wrong. Very wrong. Every day though the voice got quieter and quieter but it was still there. Even now he could hear it muttering and whispering he should stop what he was doing, prepare the Legion for the coming threat and warn Supergirl.

Supergirl.

There was someone who he was having trouble remembering. The more the Master took hold of his mind the more, the things, the people he use to care about became more and more distant. It was hard for him to remember what he felt for her but his feelings were still there, if muted. His Master didn't want him to keep his attachment to her especially to her, so slowly the feelings were leaving bit by bit. Even his memories were fading of the time he had with her of an evening, the night before returning to battle Imperiex in the 31st century of Kara taking great care to isolate them in a distant part of a park in the city, making sure no one would spy nor stumble upon them where with shaking hands and pounding hearts, tentatively explored each other bodies through touch and taste alone. Even as that wonderful memory faded away from his mind. He didn't care anymore as he fully embraced the darkness within him.

Slowly he found his way to where Shrinking Violet and a few other Legionaries had gathered and they were hanging out, for lack a better word on a Legion Plaza wall looking out at the city of Metropolis in the evening dusk The White Witch was there, along with Blok, who was shyly looking at Mysa as if she was the only being in existence, from time to time and Wildfire, Shikari and Violet were doing their best to pretend they weren't seeing it. Shikari was a Legionnaire from a different time-line, like Andromeda and the other Brainiac Five had been and he didn't know her very well. It was time to plant more seeds and it was an opportunity he wouldn't miss.

Shikira turned to him but didn't look very pleased to see him. She was a path finder much like Dawnstar but because she came from a different universe her powers might be different. She might see his current path. If she did though, she didn't say anything about it. He turned instead to Mysa, who was looking at him in curiosity.

"How are you enjoying your time in the Legion so far," he asked and she smiled.

"It has been good so far. Everyone is so nice, despite what is going on."

"Yes. What do you five think about the current crisis in the U.P.?"

"I think the paths are all gathering together to one central point," Shikari said, crossing her arms. "Things are changing all around us and something is coming. Something we are all going to be a part of."

"You are right about..."

"What do you think is going to happen?"

He turned to see Saturn Girl standing right behind him, a strange unreadable expression on her face. She seemed to be only looking at him and he knew who had sent her. Cosmic Boy. That didn't worry him though and he turned to face her fully.

She seemed to want to answer his question but instead said, "Brainy, why don't you show me what you have been working on in your lab?"

He nodded, and lead her to the lab. He had no reason to hide it, what he was working on. When they made it to the lab he felt something, a strange feeling in the back of his mind. He ignored it though and took her towards the back of the lab where the machine waited for them.

Saturn Girl on the other hand finally got a chance to glimpse the black sheet of paper Brainiac Five had been so careful to hide. When she looked at it, she was surprised. Now, she may not be as smart as Brainy but she knew when something did not add up and nothing on the paper added up. All it seemed to be was gibberish really. The only thing on the paper that seemed to make any sense however, was the Omega symbol on the top. She pocketed the paper and looked back to him.

"This," he said, pointing to a large, perfectly round sphere of silver metal, "is a Time Lock device. It can create a wall of pure energy able to prevent anyone from traveling to the point in time this is activated in. For example, if I were to set it off here, Supergirl would not be able to get back through time to this point."

"Why would you want that," she said and he turned to her. For a moment he just looked at her with a blank expression on his face before he shrugged. "Don't you want Supergirl to come back?"

"I could care less."

"Really? I have a feeling that is someone else is talking for you and not how you really feel."

Brainiac 5 shook his head, and moved a little towards the orb. He seemed to be thinking about her words and she could see she was getting through to him. His hands brushed across a few of the controls before he turned to her. His eyes were a little clearer, the darkness had pulled back a little. She pressed her advantage, pulling out the code.

"Did you really look at this? This code you were given by who knows who? Its nothing but gibberish. It's not an equation."

"Of that you can be sure of Saturn Girl."

The room was engulfed in darkness in an instant. She could feel a great shadow fall on her mind and when she tried to feel Brainiac Five's mind all she felt was shadow. Imra could feel a familiar presence in the room. She hadn't felt it in so long, since the day Darkseid cursed the Legion for defeating him years ago, that for just a moment she wasn't sure. But she was sure now.

"The Code was a trick and it worked. I can't have you in here to interfere. I can have none of you here."

There was a sound like thunder and the lab began to get pulled apart. The light from the erupting fire allowed her to see Brainiac Five allowing himself to be pulled into a boom tube, smiling. Irma reached for him, trying to pull him to safety but he refused to take her hand. The instant the boom tube vanished the lab was torn apart by explosions all around her. She was surprised when she felt a hand grab her arm and when she turned she saw it was Dream Girl. She looked determined and worried

"We have to get out of here, headquarters is going to blow. I already got everyone else out, come on!"

They both took off at a dead run as the flames erupted across the room and the explosions rocked the building. The walls were crumbling and she could feel the minds of the others paralyzed in fear. She was glad Dream Girl foresaw the destruction before she did and had taken it upon herself to evacuate the HQ. They made it outside of the HQ before the building was ripped apart in an enormous explosion. The shock wave sent her down on her face Lighting Lad was there to help her up and help her away from the burning building. They both watched as the building crumbled leaving behind only twisted metal and the unmistakable aura of evil.

"What the hell happened," Cosmic Boy asked, lowering his hands. He had kept the stray bits of metal from hitting them, but now he was just pissed. The whole Legion looked on the sight of destruction with a mixture of fear and anger as building parts, dust and ash settled down around them and in the surrounding area.

"The Darkness came and took Brainiac Five," Saturn Girl said, standing close to Lighting Lad. "It's Darkseid we're up against in this struggle."

"This is just the start of it look," Dream Girl added, pointing up. They all looked to the sky and they saw something forming above the ruins of Legion HQ. A dark cloud was eclipsing the sun and they were all sure of one thing. This cloud was unnatural and what ever had caused that cloud had caused the destruction of the HQ and it was coming for them.

"Come on Cos," Ultra Boy said, looking up. "We're not going to let Darkseid beat us, are we?"

"No. Legion, let's go." They shouted as a team.
