Brainia💚💙One-Shots: Life as Parents!

Studying the Planets & Stars...

~{Chapter 39}~*This chapter is about when Isabel🩵studies the stars✨, constellations🌌, and planets🌎🌔🪐🌙in space out of curiosity through her telescope🔭 that she got for her "birthday" later this year before school🏫started. However, Isabel has answers about her coluan💚heritage since she knows everything about being Naltorian thanks to her mother's guidance and read all the books📚on naltor, dream interpretation, culture, and history. But she knew nothing about being Coluan and its history except for her powers/abilities. So, she decided to ask her father Brainy (Querl Dox) about it. I hope you like it, Enjoy!*

*Late at night🌃, at the Dox "Family" Apartment in Isabel and Noah's bedroom*
*2:00 a.m.*
Isabel was up late gazing at the stars and constellations🌌through her blue futuristic telescope🔭and studying them for her Earth Science class Assignment. Which woke up her brother Noah, from the moonlight of the curtains open shining right on his face and said to him because of it.
"Sis, what are you doing up still? It's late." Noah asked. "I'm studying the stars, planets, and constellations in space for my Earth Science project." Isabel answered her brother's question while looking into her telescope and back at Noah focused on her homework which seemed like a lot of fun to her. "I can see that but at 2 in the morning. Why?" Noah asked the obvious question. "I was just thinking about how amazing they are. Think about it we are the only Hybrid of both alien species as our parents... Naltorian and Coluan. I have every book about Naltorand studied all of them for years to master my dreaming powers but there's no data or books on Dad's Home planet Colu to learn about and its history of coluans and the Dox Family. Almost like they been wiped off the face of Earth and the whole universe." Isabel said smartly stating the facts of their father's family history with no information about it and she just wanted to know why that is.
"Maybe you should ask Dad about it." Noah implied that his sister yawning exhausted. She chuckled. "Okay, fine. You win, Noah, I'll go to sleep now." Isabel said as she immediately rushed back into bed covered herself in her bedsheets and then closed her eyes and drifted off to sleep😴💤. Moments later, she was inside the dream🌀realm in a matter of seconds when the moment she started dreaming✨.
In Isabel's dream, she was on the street of downtown in *National🏙City* and saw someone there that she didn't recognize... "So, you're my granddaughter "Isabel Dox" half-coluan💚& half naltorian💙.
My son has taught you nothing because of his own fear. And that will someday be your downfall dear one." The coluan💚woman said dramatically with the wind in her blonde white hair and turned around to look at her. "Wait, what? Who are you?" Isabel questioned to the coluan stranger that she didn't know at all but sense that she was family however, there was an darkness no evil inside her. As her voice echoed loudly in the wind. She smiled wickedly. "I'm your grandmother from your father's side in the "31st century". I am an 8th-level intelligent like yourself but will it be enough?" Dream Grandma Dox said dramatically as an *introduction* to her granddaughter🩵in teaching her a valuable lesson about not learning up to her true potential as a coluan💚if she doesn't know her history. Then, she disappeared mysteriously into a mist of smoke💨of the fog🌫️for dramatic effect.

*The next day*
*11:33 a.m.*
Isabel🩵gasped awake in her bed from her dream and knew that if she didn't know now about what it means to be Coluan then, she'll regret it for the rest of her life! Moments later, she and Noah got up outta bed and went into the kitchen to see that their parents prepared an "lovely" brunch for them since it's a "Saturday" and all😅. They took their seats at the table picking out their favorite foods to eat for breakfast today and immediately started eating but Isabel🩵was playing with her food🥞a bit "lost" in thought💭thinking about her dream✨last night🌃and then she finally said. "Dad, can I ask you something? Why don't you ever talk about your side of the family or the culture and history of coluans... I and Noah deserve to know." Isabel finally asked the question that she'd been wanting to know. Brainy almost choked on his breakfast and said to her to drop this and change the topic. "Isabel, please just drop it." Brainy said to his daughter to stop talking about this topic and chance it to something else.
"But dad... how do you except me to learn control over my coluan side if I don't know your family's history. I am half coluan after all. I-I..." Isabel said in not wanting to drop it and talk about this with her dad in not putting it off any longer. "That's it! Isabella Dox. End of discussion..." Brainy said loudly to his daughter raising his voice and then he left storming out of the kitchen and into the bedroom to cool down. "Isabel, sweetheart, don't be mad with your father for not sharing about his side of the family with you and your brother. It's complicated..." Nia explained calmly to her daughter why Brainy (Querl Dox) her father refuses to share about his family's history and culture. Isabel sighed. "I know, Mom, but it's just that whenever I look up at the night sky at the stars... it's like there's a part of myself that I don't know. What's the point of being an Hybrid if I don't know anything about my coluan Heritage." She said in a soft voice with an sad look in her eyes questioning her own life. "Yes, I know exactly what you mean," Nia said. "So, what do I do? Mom," Isabel asked her mother sadly. "You don't have to do anything. Isabel, I'll go talk with your father and reason with him. (Gets up) don't worry." Nia said leaving the kitchen and went into the bedroom to reason with her husband. Then, Isabel and Noah just ate their breakfast by themselves in waiting to see how their parents work things out and hoping that it doesn't lead to a conflict.

*An hour later, after breakfast at the Dox apartment*
*Noon🕛*
Nia saw Isabel painting an vision from her dream while casually humming and listening to electric music with her futuristic headphones🎧on her essel.
while Noah was working on his latest invention of a gadget to help the world someday with his tech and make a difference in the world. She smiled at them passing by their bedroom and knew that her daughter was right about her knowing the truth about her coluan history and the history of the Dox family despite Brainy's fears. "She deserves to know." Nia suggested wisely to brainy to coming back into the bedroom to talk again after giving him some space but this is serious because it is about time that Isabel knew. He sighed thinking that Nia, his wife might have a fair point and said to her because of it. "Nia, I can't tell her. It's too painful... not just for me about my family's past but for her too. Knowing this is dangerous!" Brainy explained.
"Look, I know it's hard but telling her the truth will help. I remember when we first started dating and I asked you about your family and instead of sharing it with me you pushed me away...
You were afraid of me seeing you differently or messing up the space-time continuum knowing too much about you. Until an year later you finally told me. But now, this is our daughter we're talking about. She has your curiosity of things especially when it comes to you. She loves and adores you!
Let her in. Besides, the whole point of us starting a family is to share our family's history and memories good or bad. Hiding the truth from our kids won't make the same mistake you made." Nia said wisely speaking the truth. Brainy sniffed wiping away his tears and said. "You "always" know exactly what to say... Nia, when did you get so wise?" he said. "Well, I had you to thank for that. And with age comes wisdom." Nia answered softly with a smile and then kissed her husband on the forehead. He nodded to that making sense and immediately got up off the couch heading to talk to Isabel and Noah and tell them the history of his species and the original Dox family history and the reason why he kept it from them since the day they were born.

*Meanwhile in Isabel and Noah's bedroom*
*12:47 p.m.*
She was still painting on her easel stand but almost done with her masterpiece of an dream vision come to life in color while her brother Noah was running some tests on his invention. "That's looks great! Noah," Isabel commented impressively. "Yeah, well, you know sis, it's a work in progress." Noah said. Brainy gently knocked the bedroom door. "Isabel. Noah. That's something that I want to say." Brainy added walking into their bedroom. "Dad. I know what you're going to say and it's "okay" you don't have to tell us if you don't want to." Isabel said. "No. It's okay, I want to. You both deserve to know the truth about my side of the Family and the coluan history of where half of your species came from. But instead of telling you about it. I'll just show you."
"How?!" Isabel and Noah questioned loudly in unison. "This is how. (Takes out an holographic Coluan technology device that tells Colu history.) it tells the story of how the Dox Family started and the history of my home planet "Colu"." Brainy explained as he tapped on the button to show them the holographic screen slideshow of it becoming clear
while saying. "Isabel. Noah. You both are half coluan and I've taught you how to use your coluan powers & abilities... but now, it's time you knew the truth about the original Dox Family history📜. My family. My planet Colu was the birthplace of the Dox Family, whose legacy is well beyond the *31st century* Is my & your ancestor (Brainiac-1) the evil one who only acted on only logic and not emotions
and killed lot of people in not caring about others' lives and collecting worlds using shirking bottles technology. Even I did evil/bad things that I'm not proud of in the future but I was arrested in the future for the crimes I committed until I given an second chance to use my intellect for good instead of evil and I joined the Legion in becoming an hero and if it weren't for changing my ways I never would have met your mother, found my place, happiness, love, and my real family in the *21st century*.
This is why I kept it from you both to protect you from becoming like your great-grandmother (my mom) turning off your emotions and becoming evil like my whole family but then I realized knowing the truth is better instead of hiding it from you. Because you two are also, have that switch in your brain to turn off your emotions but I hope that you don't. Because as I told your mom... knowing this is dangerous. Remember that for your own lives and never lose sight of what is really is important." Brainy finally said it. Nia peeked in the bedroom to see her husband finally sharing his coluan culture and family history as she smiled with pride because of it. Isabel and Noah nodded in agreement to never turning off their emotions no matter what happens in their lives of making an unbreakable promise to their dad and always staying true to themselves!
