Green Guy

Smallville, 30th Century

As Clark, Lightning Lad, Saturn Girl, and Cosmic Boy flew to Downtown Smallville, Clark was wondering how he would identify with the Legion. He was wondering how everyone would know that he was with them. He really just wanted to wear something more professional than normal clothes. He wanted a cape or something.

"Um, guys, can I have a cape or something. I look sorta, unprofessional wearing this and flying with you guys." Clark stated.

"Yeah, sure. There's a store near by that sells stuff that you're looking for." Cosmic Boy replied.

The four kids hovered down to the ground where a store selling superhero costumes was. Cosmic Boy ran in for a minute and came back out holding a red cape with a yellow S on the back of it. Cosmic Boy handed it to Clark and Clark tied it around his neck.

"It looks good." Saturn Girl told a white lie, Clark looked silly with his normal clothes on and a cape. It would have to do though.

"We need to hurry, Chameleon Boy is waiting." Cosmic Boy informed his friends.

The four kids started flying again towards Downtown Smallville. Clark was getting used to flying, he knew how to control himself when he did. Soon, the four kids arrived at Downtown Smallville to find five men causing chaos. The men wore grey and red armor and had sonic disruptors. They were destroying cars left and right and citizens were screaming for help.

"Earth belongs to human!" One, shorter man yelled as he destroyed a car. "Death to all invaders!"

"Who are they?" Clark asked, noticing all the chaos.

"Human Supremacists." Saturn Girl answered.

"These Xeno-holes, or assholes as you would call them in the 20th Century have been targeting aliens all across Kansas." Lightning Lad explained.

"Don't swear in front of Kal." Saturn Girl ordered.

A bald Human Supremacist had a purple skinned girl at gun point. The girl was alien. "You alien. Say it! Say 'Earth is for humans'!" 

Cosmic Boy shot purple, solid light at the bald Human Supremacist to knock him out. "Earth is for everyone!" Cosmic Boy then lowered his voice, "So said Superman."

"Your hatred is learned from previous generations of prejudice and discrimination." Saturn Girl said as she lifted up two Human Supremacists using telekinesis. "So your actions are not entirely your fault." She kicked both in the jaw, "But your acts of violence are."

Another, bearded Human Supremacist was firing at Lightning Lad, "You zapped me once Lightning Lad! You won't hurt me again! Lightning doesn't strike twice!"

"Lightning doesn't strike twice?" Lightning Lad asked as he fired twelve bolts of lightning out of his fingers, the bolts hit the Human Supremacist and electrocuted him. "How about a dozen times?"

Clark started smiling as he heard Lightning Lad tell a joke, "You're really enjoying this!" Clark told Lightning Lad.

"Of course I am!" Lightning Lad laughed as he kept shocking the Human Supremacist. "Aren't you?"

"I guess..." Clark stuttered.

"Don't you ever have fun?" Lightning Lad asked as he started creating smiling faces out of lightning in the air.

"I don't know." Clark replied, amazed at his creations.

"You don't know?! C'mon Kal! Brighten up! You're not like this in the future!" Lightning Lad exclaimed. Lightning Lad went back to shocking the Human Supremacist, "Watts the problem!?"

A Human Supremacist came behind Clark. "Death to the Legion!"

Clark punched the Human Supremacist in the face. A few teeth flew out of the Human Supremacist's mouth. "Long live the Legion!"

The Human Supremacists were all knocked out and the four kids huddled together, "'Long live the Legion'? I like that!" Saturn Girl said.

"Me too." Cosmic Boy replied.

"Hey, didn't you guys hear my 'Watts the problem' joke?" Lightning Lad asked.

"Hey! You little brats!" The police arrived. The policemen wore blue armor and yellow visors over their faces.

"Uh oh, we got the police, three o clock." Lightning Lad said as the police men were behind him.

"Six o clock." Cosmic Boy corrected.

"Whatever." Lightning Lad grunted the the four kids flew away.

"How many times do we have to tell you dumb kids? You're not authorized for vigilance!" The police woman yelled.

"And you! Lightning Lad! You still owe me that electric powered engine!" The police man screamed at the top of his lungs at Lightning Lad.

"Wow, they seem pretty mad." Clark stated as the four kids flew above the clouds.

"Long story..." Lightning Lad mumbled.

"Thank Garth." Cosmic Boy replied.

"Yes. Another blunder by Lightning Lad. The only Legionnaire accepted because of happenstance, as he happened to be there when Rokk and Imra saved Alexandra Luthor the fifth. And now I fear his stupidity is infecting both of you like a disease." A green skinned and blonde haired boy said. The boy was hovering in the air behind Clark.

"Oh great, it's Brainy." Lightning Lad moaned.
