[A/N: This is a random idea what I had, and hopefully it translates well using Legion of Superhero characters. I'm not 100% on the personality traits of the characters I'm using, so feel free to let me know if I'm way off base. I own nothing. Reviews are always appreciated. Enjoy!]


A sleep deprived Saturn Girl reluctantly awakens as the sun's rays illuminate her bedroom, shining through the windows that make up her bedroom wall. She rubs her sore red eyes, contemplates going back to sleep. The head ache that accompanies the sunlight alerts her of her lack of sleep, and reminds her of the day before. ..

After dealing with universal affairs of all sorts side by side for years, she and Lightning Lad decided to explore their budding relationship, and after spending a sunny afternoon picnicking in the park with him, the two returned to Legion HQ only to be summoned by Cosmic Boy. Initially, the two found it strange that their companion and fellow cofounder of the Legion of Super Heroes would summon them as though he were superior to them, they entered the conference room. Immediately the tone of the day had changed from sunny and upbeat to dismal and tense as Cosmic Boy began reciting Legion regulations which he interpreted to mean that there is to be no dating between members of the Legion, and that any relationships stemming beyond the bonds of teamwork and friendship would provide grounds for dismissal from the Legion. While Saturn Girl sat at the table and allowed Cosmic Boy to vent his feelings, it was clear that Lightning Lad had had enough of his comrade's superiority complex.

"This is ridiculous Rokk," Lightning Lad interrupted Cosmic Boy and his pacing from side to side as he recited codes of conduct. "What's ridiculous Garth?" Cosmic Boy countered. "The fact that I remember the guidelines which you, Imra and I wrote when we founded the Legion? Or the fact that you two seem to have forgotten them?" Cosmic Boy narrowed his eyes at Saturn Girl and Lightning Lad , who placed a hand around hers, a reassuring gesture which Saturn Girl didn't think will hold true to its promise. "I'm referring to your superior attitude, as well as your jealousy," Garth states calmly. Cosmic Boy's eyes widened, and Garth knew he had shocked a nerve in his teammate. The tension in the room rose, and Saturn Girl stiffened in her chair.

"Jealousy?" Cosmic Boy squawked. "What is there for me to be jealous of? You're the one's breaking the Code of Conduct." Garth snickered. "Don't play dumb, Rokk. It's plain to everyone in this room—to every member of the Legion—that you're jealous of me." Saturn Girl observed the nonverbal standoff between her two cofounders; Garth sat back in his chair, his hand still clutching hers, his eyes dared Rokk to do something about their evident attraction and budding relationship. Rokk remained standing, staring daggers into the red-headed youth and the silent blonde. "Why on Earth would I be jealous of you?" Cosmic Boy asked through clenched teeth. "Don't play dumb," Lightning Lad said. "Your jealousy stems from the fact that Saturn Girl chose me over you." "Don't mind me," Saturn Girl muttered, pulling her hand away from Garth. "Pretend I'm not even here."

"That's preposterous!" Cosmic Boy clenched his fists. From there he and Lightning Lad had words, and continued to talk about Saturn Girl as though she weren't in the room at all. She thought of all sorts of ways to escape the tension; she could storm out and make as big of a scene as the two boys, though that option didn't seem too likely to occur, she could put herself in some form of mental trance to avoid hearing the argument, though that would require more effort than she could muster at the moment, or she could try to reason with the two. While reasoning seemed like the best solution at the time, Saturn Girl chose to say nothing, stare off into space (figuratively as there were no windows in the conference room) and let the two resolve their issues. After going in circles for what seemed like hours, the two boys finally came up with a solution—or at least what they considered a solution. When the two finally chose to include Saturn Girl in their argument, it was anything but calm and collected.

"You have to choose, Imra," Cosmic Boy firmly stated. "Choose?" she asked, "What do you mean?" "Choose between Garth or me," he explains. "We'll respect your decision. If you choose me, then Garth will resign from the Legion. Likewise I'll do the same if you choose him. " "Now this is ridiculous," Saturn Girl sighed heavily. "Why can't you two just come to some form of agreement without me?" "Because," Lightning Lad interjected, "we want you to be the one to decide."

"So you're putting me on the spot? Leaving what seems to be the fate of the Legion up to me?" Angered by the situation, Saturn Girl pushed herself away from the table and prepared to storm out of the room. "We can't decide for you, Im," Lightning Lad explains, resting a hand on her shoulder. "And even though I think you can make your choice easily" he winks, "you should take some time to figure it out." Imra shrugged his hand off of her shoulder, and walked out of the room, stunned by what had just happened. She shrugged and leaned against the wall, shaking her head as it rests in her palm. "Do I really have to do this?" she asked aloud. Nobody answered her, though she knew that this was something that Lightning Lad and Cosmic Boy would need in order to end their spat. After composing herself, as well as feeling all of the energy in her body leave her, she walked warily back to her bedroom to think.
