IMPORTANT NOTE! I know my fanfiction is based on the cartoon show but I do like to throw in comic book stuff once and a while. I don't want to ruin anything for you so I'll explain why I brought this up at the end of the chapter.

Chapter 4

It was almost surreal, being around Superman and actually hear him talking to and around Superboy without him trying to get away as soon as possible. It was like those dream sequences in those shows the girls kept watching, Artemis acting like she did it to placate M'gann but smiled and sighed along with her whenever the male characters said something 'romantic'.

Not sure if pinching himself or blinking would make it all disappear, Superboy kept his eyes trained on the man of steel as he helped the barely conscious Kaldur sit up and made him drink some water. When the Atlantian stopped drinking the clone dumped the rest of it on top of his leader's head, which seemed to ease some of the pain.

"Maybe we should throw him into the pool?" a round man theorized.

"I'm not sure he would appreciate the chlorine, Bouncy," a tri-color haired woman, stirring the round man out of the room so they could go ask Brainy.

"Brainy?" Artemis asked as she watched Saturn Girl treat Wally's hands.

"It's the nickname for Querl's hero name," Superman explained.

"What is his hero name?" Superboy asked, not really caring for the answer. He just wanted an excuse to talk to him, for Superman to answer his question.

"Brainiac Five," Robin answered sourly, having been directed to the infirmary by the neck. Swinging to his guide, he forced a smile and raised his hands in a thumb up gesture. "Which is the coolest code name ever!"

"Brainy, what did you do?" Lightning Lad crossed his arms accusingly.

"Nothing," Brainy smiled in an assuring fashion before directing it at Robin. "I've safely directed you back to your teammates, will you stop freaking out now?"

"Yeah, not happening," Robin slipped out of the neck hold and ran to the others, practically leaping onto the bed Wally and Artemis were sitting on, squeezing himself between them.

At the movement, Wally hissed a little, "Careful, dude!"

Ignoring them, Artemis observed Brainy, taking him all in; eyes clear with focus but also dark in concentration.

"Don't bother looking for a weak point," Brainy broke her from her thoughts. "It's the same as with any human but with my force field generator belt you'd never be able to lay a hand, or arrow, on me."

"And if you did you'd have to deal with Superman," Bouncing Boy's voice was dark with seriousness.

"If I didn't get there first," Lightning Lad narrowed his eyes at Artemis, whose pupils shrank a little.

"I think I'd beat you there Lightning Lad," Superman frowned at him.

"As father of the bride it's my right to exact revenge first," Lightning Lad smirked.

Instantly Brainy blushed in a way that almost made Robin laugh, temporarily forgetting his wariness of the Coluan – because he was definitely not afraid of him!

"Lightning Lad," Brainy's voice was deadly. "You aren't my father," he ignored the older boy's protest of, "Is that anyway to speak to your father" besides his frown deepening, "and I wasn't, nor will I ever be a bride. You did not give me away, no walking down the aisle and there was no white dress involved. What do I have to do; use ancient office equipment and staple the holo-video to your forehead?"

"You remember it your way and all remember it mine," Lightning Lad grinned when he saw the Coluan give off a silent scream.

After finishing treating Wally's hands, now as good as new except for a little red that would fade over the next day or so, Saturn Girl turned to her husband.

"Garth, please stop teasing Brainy."

This made Brainy smile at her.

"Besides if anyone gave Brainy away, it's me," Saturn Girl said, face completely serious, making Brainy drop his jaw and stare at her. "You're only his father figure because you married his mother figure; AKA me." She acted like she was wiping away tears as she sniffled. "He was so handsome in his purple with white accents tuxedo that it still brings a tear to my eye."

Jaw still hanging, Brainy continued to stare at her.

Unable to help it, Bouncing Boy laughed, "Guys, I think you broke Brainy's brain." His pun only made him laugh more.

Snapping out of it, Brainy rubbed the bridge of his nose.

"I knew this marriage would be a bad influence on Saturn Girl," he again ignored Lightning Lad's comment of, "like you're one to talk," before turning his attention to them. "You two better not die or I'm raising Graym and Grail on sugar and letting them play in my lab whenever they're not having tea parties in pretty pink dresses."

As Saturn Girl looked like she wanted to laugh, Lightning Lad had gone pale.

He turned to his wife, "Is it too late to change the living will so the boys go to their other god father?"

"I think we have to ask Rokk if he'd take the boys first," Saturn Girl smiled.

IMPORTANT NOTE EXPLAINED! In the comic books Saturn Girl and Lightning Lad DO get married, left the Legion for a while due to a rule saying married Legionnaires had to retire but then came back when their help was needed and the Legion disbanded the rule. They do have twin sons but they didn't realize it at first because one was kidnapped by Darksied and taken to the past to be turned into Validus, yes Validus, the monster of the Fatal Five that shoots lightning from his head. They later get their son turned back to a normal infant but he has no official name that I can find. Graym is the name of the twin that didn't get turned into Validus and since the twin girls Saturn Girl and Lightning Lad have later on in life are named Dacey & Dorritt I figured Graym would have a "G" named sibling as well. I choose "Grail" because, well, it was "Gra" had "L" and "I" in it from "Validus" and I like the idea of them finding him like the Arthurian knights searched for the Holy Grail so I'm showing my nerdiness and sentimentality with it.
