<xmp>LSH: Braniacal Genius 
part one: Death and a Statue 

by Alexi92

	The mission had gone very wrong. M'Onel flew as fast as he could from
the planet's surface, tears in his eyes. Almost half the Legion had been 
killed before they had been able to put a stop to that maniac's 
machinations. Fortunately people had survived and the universe was saved 
but the number of casualties prevented anyone from celebrating their 
victory. They would muddle through somehow though. Probably hold another 
recruitment drive. They had to, they were the Legion of Super Heroes.

***

	Spark watched as her last chance off the planet flew away like a 
rocket. She tried to cry out to M'Onel but he didn't hear her, not even 
with his super sensitive hearing. It was like with the others.

	Just before the others had left they acted as if they couldn't see 
her, like she didn't exist. It was her worst fear come to life, being 
forgotten, ignored, and lost forever. And now it had come true. Not even 
Garth acknowledged her, she had tried everything to get his attention, she 
had shouted, hit him, she had gone so far as to give him a zap with her 
electricity powers. Nothing had worked, he had been totally centered on 
Irma. He was crying into her shoulder mumbling something sadly about Ayla. 
But Ayla was right there trying to get his attention! How could he not 
even sense his own twin sister's presence?

	Spark shouted, pleading, desperate to be heard, not to be abandoned 
on this planet. She didn't want to be alone. She began to cry. 

	"It's no use Spark," a voice behind her said. "As far as he's 
concerned you died. They all think you died."

	She turned to identify the speaker. Her mouth gaped at the sight of 
him.

	"You're mine now," said Brainiac 5. "You belong to me."

	It couldn't be, Spark told herself. Brainiac 5 had been killed by the 
madman they had been sent here to destroy. How could he be right in front 
of her? From the words he was saying it didn't seem like Brainy. Maybe he 
had died and then his body was taken over by a hostile being. It was 
possible, weirder things had happened.

	"Who-who are you? What have you done to Brainy."

	Visible annoyed the being reached into his pocket and pulled out 
small cylindrical object. "For the last time, it's Brainiac 5. You've 
called me Brainy for the last time."

	He began to manipulate the cylinder. Spark was beginning to doubt that 
her theory of possession. Whoever this was it sounded a lot like Brainy. If 
it was then he would be able to get her home...

	And as that comforting though came to her the cylinder in Brainiac 5's 
hand began to glow brightly and Spark passed out.

***

	It was the money. No one ever thought about it but it was the money. 
That's where the true power lay in the universe.  Of course he practically 
owned the Universe so it was only right that he knew what it was all about. 
The third and fourth richest men in all the United Planets used their money 
to get what they wanted. But they didn't understand its true power. No one 
did except him, only Querl Dox, Brainiac 5.

No one remembered Vril Dox II was Brainiac 5's ancestor, they had always 
focused on Brainiac 1. Their mistake. Of course he had always remembered it 
but never gave any thought to the practical applications until that jaunt 
into the 20th century. Inconceivable really.

All it had taken was a deposit into a bank and instructions left to an 
investment firm, both of which he knew would still have records intact a 
thousand years later. When he had returned he found that he had become the 
richest man, period. Just as he had predicted.

	And as he walked down the hallway of Legion headquarters he thought 
about the true ramifications of it all. He would finally be able to indulge 
every track of his great intelligence. 

	He stopped in the memorial room and thought about the new statues 
that would soon be added.

	Brainiac 5 waited for three minutes until he received a telepathic 
communication from Saturn Girl informing everyone to report to the Space 
Cruiser, there was an emergency which would be explained in detail once 
they were on their way to the planet. Urgency was of essence. 

***

	The first thing that had stuck Spark as odd when she began to wake 
was that she had been standing up. That became a passing thought when her 
eyes opened and she beheld dead Legionaries. Only they didn't seem dead. 
She saw XS, Umbra, and Triad directly in front of her standing next to each 
other, arms to their sides and backs straight. They weren't moving, as 
though they were statues.

	When she tried to turn her head to see who else was in the room she 
found she couldn't. Panic swept over her, she couldn't move her body! Oh 
grife, what was happening? Were the others in the same predicament as her, 
wanting to move but unable? Who had done this to her? Where was Brainy? 

	All she could do was blink.

	Now that she looked at the others she could make out their eyes 
moving back and forth, trying to figure something out, anything. By using 
her own peripheral vision she could see that others were to each of her 
sides. Possibly the other dead Legionaries.

***

	Brainiac 5 walked into the room he had jokingly called the throne 
room when he had constructed the building. It was supposed to be a storage 
closet meant for some of his larger inventions. Upon further thought he had 
installed an actual throne in the room. It really was a perfect size for 
such a thing. He even took the time to make the room seem like a throne 
room out of a fantasy holo-vid. The lighting in the room was solely due to 
torches hanging on the walls. (They were powered through nuclear means 
though.) Empty pedestals stood along the walls, awaiting sculptures to 
display. A large red carpet lead from the door to the foot of the throne 
which was raised three steps above the rest of the room.

	The throne itself was another inspiration based on the visit to the 
20th century. The throne was an exact duplicate of the chair Meteron of the 
New Gods had sat upon. To fashion a throne based on the God of Knowledge's 
chair amused Brainiac 5.

	The latest additions to the throne room stood like guards on both 
sides of the carpet. To his right XS, Umbra, and Triad. To his left 
Shrinking Violet, Kinetix, Spark, and Kid Quantum. He walked between them 
and observed as their eyes registered him. He wondered which of them 
thought he was their salvation and which had figured out his true 
intentions. 

	He ascended to the throne and sat in it, his great intellect deciding 
how to proceed. He took from his pocket the cylinder and inserted it into 
an appropriate crevice in the throne's arm.

	He decided. "Turn towards me and line yourselves side by side."

	The seven Legion girls obeyed his orders. Brainiac 5 smiled as he saw Umbra and Kid Quantum's eyes shut as they tried to stop themselves, their bodies betraying their efforts. This would be more fun than he had anticipated.

***

	He owned the planet. The "emergency" had been a ruse. All it had 
taken was to leave some communication technology on the far side of the 
hemisphere the last time he had visited to complete construction on his 
fortress. Theirs were simple minds, easy to trick. Even Saturn Girl with 
her telepathy couldn't compete with a 12th level intelligence, let alone 
try to read anything in his mind he didn't want read.

	It all went according to plan. Once they landed on the planet he used 
the mental intensifier he made last week to control the mind of Saturn Girl, 
and through her the others. He then had Saturn Girl implant the memory of a 
terrible battle with a maniac able to destroy the universe into every one 
of the Legion of Superheroes save himself. The battle was supposed to have 
been rough leaving six of the girls and himself dead. The robots came and 
took the girls to his fortress after he had made sure that all six 
unconscious and under the mental control of the intensifier.

	He would have taken all of the females but some of them weren't very 
appealing, who would want a snake or a green monster. True the snake had 
the power of illusion but at his level of intelligence he could see through 
any illusion instantaneously. Phase and Saturn Girl were more than 
desirable but their intense emotions toward their respective lovers would 
eventually have overcome his intensifier. Then they could have stopped his 
plan from reaching fruition.

	Brainiac 5 was about to send the "survivors" on their way when he saw 
Ferro playing with Koko. He had planned to let Spark go with the others so 
that she could take care of the damned monkey but if Ferro could handle the 
task...

	He had Saturn Girl include one addendum to the battle. At the last 
second Spark heroically gave her life to kill the madman when he tried to 
kill Live Wire. 

***

	All seven stood before him in a row, silently awaiting their next 
order. No doubt they were all mentally screaming for help or for the 
ability to kill him.

	Glorious, his ancestors would be proud. Well maybe not Stealth, but 
the others without a doubt.

	Brainiac 5 looked over his toys, for that is what they were now, and 
assessed each one's strengths and weaknesses to decide which he would start 
with. 

	Kid Quantum, Spark, Kinetix, Triad, XS, Umbra, and Shrinking Violet 
all in a row, his to play with as he saw fit. Almost everything he had ever 
dreamed of.

***

	"Kid Quantum come here."

	Jazmin Cullen walked toward the throne and knelt in front of it on 
one knee, head bowed to the ground. The dark skinned heroine from Xanthu's 
costume was designed much like a 20th century leotard, leaving her legs 
exposed while covering her torso and arms. This meant that in the kneeling 
position she was in she could feel her breath on her thigh.

	"Your power is to create stasis fields, effectively freezing time in 
an area."

	Jazmin made no response. Actually she was sure she was unable to. 
She had spent the last hour trying unsuccessfully to move any part of her 
body. Growing up playing with James and his stasis belt she was used to the 
idea that if she couldn't move her body then speaking was impossible. She 
simply stayed kneeling, cursing Brainiac mentally for whatever it was he 
had done to her. 

	She shut her eyes and tried to concentrate on the sensation of her 
breath hitting her thigh when an odd sensation, something like a touch, on 
her shin, above her boot, caused her to loose focus. Opening her eyes 
Jazmin could see Brainiac 5's head was level with her shin. Although her 
leg obstructed some of her view she could see parts of his face...
	
	Oh grife, he was licking her leg! His hand came up and pushed her 
head back so that Kid Quantum was staring at the ceiling. His way now 
unobstructed he began to move up her shin. She could feel his tongue snake 
up her shin, past her knee, and onto her thigh. On her thigh he shifted the 
path of his tongue to lick her inner thigh. As he began to move his way up 
she closed her eyes, bracing herself for what was to come. His tongue 
slowly traveled the way of the thigh towards her pussy. Her breath began to 
become more labored in her fearful anticipation of what was to come. His 
tongue reached the end of her leg...

	And was gone. Jazmin kept her eyes shut, uncertain of what had 
happened. Brainiac 5 had stopped but she didn't know why. She couldn't 
even feel the tongue on her leg anymore.

	A voice whispered into her ear ",I stopped at the costume."

	Kid Quantum opened her eyes to find Brainiac 5 standing over her. He 
took her head in his hands and pulled her of her knee onto her feet. When 
he was assured she would not fall over he returned to his throne.

	"You can speak now. I will give you that one privilege Kid Quantum. 
It's not as if anything you say can affect your fate."

	All she could think to say was ",Why?"

	Brainiac 5 looked down at her. "Show me your breast."

	Jazmin's eyes grew wide with horror. "No. I won't."

	Despite her response Kid Quantum's hands grabbed the collar of her 
costume and began to pull the costume apart. She tore the front of her 
costume down the middle to just above her navel. 

	"No, stop," she pleaded. "Please stop."

	Brainiac 5 sat back, silent, his eyes glued on his teammate's 
movements. Her other hand took the now loose costume covering the left 
portion of her chest and pulled it away to reveal her beautiful, brown 
breast. She closed her eyes, humiliated.

	"I'll tell you what," Brainiac 5 said. "I'll give you a chance to 
convince me to let you and the others go, do you want to take it?"

	"Yes!" Kid Quantum exclaimed, a chance to get out of here!

	"Good. There is one condition."

	"I won't have se..."

	"Nothing so blatant. You must play with the nipple of your exposed 
breast while you try to convince me." 

	"But..."

	"Proceed."

	Almost of their own volition her left hand moved to her breast and 
her fingers grabbed her nipple. She rolled it between her fingers until it 
began to stiffen. 

	"You're sick. You need help. This isn't right..."

	Her fingers squeezed lightly and pulled away from her body, 
stretching the nipple and breast until they could stretch no more and the 
nipple slipped from her fingers back to its normal shape. 

	"You can't treat someone like this. You're a Legionnaire. You're 
supposed to be a hero."

Her middle finger circled the border of her aureole and begin to snail 
shell inward until it reached the protruding nub which she began to flick 
rapidly with her index finger. Her eyes began to tear as the green teenager 
continued to watch, her words having no effect, as if all the tracks of his 
mind were focused solely on her humiliating herself. She blurt out a last 
ditch attempt.

	"I thought you loved Andromeda."

	He shot straight up in his throne. "Stop.  Who told you that?"
	
	"No one, I just heard it around somewhere."
	
	He stood up, his eyes filled with a rage she had never seen before, 
not even in the most dangerous of villains. He shouted at the top of his 
lungs, rage bellowing with each syllable. 

	"Who told you that?!"
	
	Had she control of her body she would have cowered. Instead she stood, 
barely able to squeak out ",S-spark."
	
***

	Spark watched shocked and terrified as she watched Brainy command Kid 
Quantum like a puppet. She couldn't see what Kid Quantum was doing but if 
she was following Brainiac 5's commands then it must have been a horrible 
sight. She waited in anticipation when Brainiac 5 gave Kid Quantum  the 
chance of freeing the captive Legionaries.

	When Kid Quantum mentioned Andromeda and after Brainiac 5's reaction 
Spark thought that perhaps the young, black girl had gotten through to 
Brainy. If there was anything that could have pulled him from his insanity 
it was Laurel Gand.

	After Spark's name had been spoken Brainiac 5 walked down the steps 
from his throne and advanced toward her. The look in his eyes was anything 
but that of a man that had seen the truth of his misdeeds. Rather they were 
filled with and anger she had never seen in him before. He walked toward 
her and backhanded her, throwing her backwards to the floor.

	Because of Brainiac 5's mind influence she was unable to move, if she 
had wanted to.

***

	Brainiac 5 disappeared from Jazmin's vision and she heard someone 
being hit and falling to the ground. She wondered what had happened. He had 
gotten so angry at the mention of Andromeda. At first Kid Quantum thought 
that perhaps she had gotten through to him but after hearing someone being 
hit she began to doubt that he had returned to normal.

	She could see him again when he began to climb the stairs to his 
chair. He sat and took a few seconds to compose himself. When he was calm 
again he looked at her.

	"I'm afraid you weren't very convincing. Show me your other breast."

	"No please."

	But her right hand was already repeating the process her left had 
made but moments ago. As the material of her costume was pulled aside, 
creating the effect of a frame of fabric pushed out of the way by her 
breast. Then her hands came up to her chest. Kid Quantum tried to figure 
out what her body was doing next and marveled in horror as her hands 
pressed her breasts together, lifting them, creating cleavage.

	But she hadn't been told to do so. Maybe, Jazmin hoped, maybe she had 
gained some control over her body. Brainiac 5 noticed it too.

	"Interesting." He came down to her from his throne, his curiosity 
piqued. "You were not told to present your breasts to me, but you did so 
of your own will. This may mean that the effects of the intensifier can be 
fought."

	Brainiac 5 watched Kid Quantum, his mind going through every 
possibility in seconds. After weighing the possibilities he spoke up.

	"Kid Quantum, if you want, you may attack me in the chance of gaining 
your freedom."

	Kid Quantum tried. If she had free will she would have. Even without 
it she should have attacked him when he had given her leave to. But no 
attack came. Instead, her hands still on her breasts, she slowly knelt down 
on her knees, bowed at Brainiac 5's feet, and stayed in the position.	

	"Interesting," Brainiac 5 muttered looking down at the girl.

	Jazmin couldn't understand it. She wanted to be free, but instead of 
fighting she had bowed at his feet. Her mind shouted at her body to stop, 
to get up. She howled in her mind at the unfairness of it all, she had been 
given a chance at her freedom and it had been lost because... she couldn't 
come up with an explanation why.

	She could hear Brainiac 5 mutter to himself. "Anticipating my 
commands... after being forced to obey my spoken orders... her mind adapts 
to my mind... does my mental bidding... maybe after a point the intensifier 
isn't needed."

	Oh grife no. No not that, she couldn't bear to think about it. If she 
understood his mumbling then she would never have free will again. Every 
move she made, her every action would be determined by Brainiac 5 while she 
was forced to endure the humiliating sensations.

	From her position, bowing on the ground, Kid Quantum could see 
Brainiac 5's foot move away. She heard his footsteps as he climbed back 
into his throne, and also heard him say quietly ",Time to test this out."

	Without a word being spoken she rose from her position and stood, 
facing the Colluan sitting on his throne. She tore her costume all the way 
down to it's end at her groin. Pulling apart the now open costume to reveal 
the entire front half of her body, Kid Quantum could only guess at what her 
body was trying to do. When she had finished her costume looked as if it had 
a large open 'V' starting at her shoulders pads and ending at her exposed 
pussy. Brainiac 5 smiled at her, it was shaved.

	Jazmin had been forced to shave her pubic hair when she had adopted 
her brother's mantel of Kid Quantum. She had not been pleased at the 
Xanthan government's design for her costume but she had accepted it. They 
had claimed that with so few physically attractive women in the "Amazers" 
that they needed every chance to showcase the one good looking woman's body 
they had. Now the costume was being used to showcase that body in a very 
different way.

	Kid Quantum's hands played with her nipples, making them both hard 
using the techniques she had thought would be the apex of her humiliation 
only minutes ago. Once both nipples were firm her hands moved toward her 
pussy.

	One hand pulled away what costume remained covering her pussy 
allowing the other total access to her most private area. As her fingers 
began to work themselves caressing the outer lips Kid Quantum's sense of 
humiliation was beginning to vanish and be replaced with pleasure. The 
pleasure of her actions but of also doing Brainiac 5's bidding. At first 
the heroine tried to resist the thoughts but as her hand started to 
penetrate her body and she began to become wet resistance was fast becoming 
an inconceivable concept, giving way to arousal. 

	With one hand to her crotch she walked over to one of the empty 
pedestals along the wall. With her free hand she attempted to climb up 
onto the raised pillar. When that proved unsuccessful she floated onto the 
pedestal using her Legion Flight Ring. All the while her fingers pumped in 
and out of her wet sex.

	Once she found herself on the pedestal she laid back. Her back found 
support against the wall and she moved herself so her face and pussy faced 
toward Brainiac 5, her master. Her legs were spread wide open as to give 
her master a full display of her masturbatory act. 

	Her other hand found its way to her pussy and pulled apart the outer 
folds of her pussy. The other hand play with her clit, massaging the 
throbbing protrusion. Kid Quantum began to make groans of pleasure as she 
worked herself toward orgasm.
	
	Jazmin's hands began to work faster as she could feel the orgasm 
nearing. Brainiac 5 watched intently as the frantic pace continued to 
intensify.  

	Kid Quantum no longer cared that she would never be able to command 
her own body. She no longer cared about anything but Brainiac 5. (This 
would have come as a shock to Brainiac 5 because it was not a side effect 
of the intensifier he had planned.) She wanted nothing more than to be 
whatever Brainiac 5 wanted. If she could only be with Brainiac 5 she would 
be complete. All thoughts she had of escape, freedom, humiliation, self, 
and fear gave way as she thought of her master fucking her. She began to 
buck her hips imagining his cock pumping in and out of her.

	Her head tilted back as she began to moan.

	"Mmmmmm! Ooooooh my lord Brainiac! Unh! Master! Master! AAAAAAAAA..."

	As she reached orgasm Brainiac 5 pressed a button on his throne 
activating a stasis field around the pedestal. She was frozen in a moment 
in time, her hands pawing at her cunt, fingers stroking her clit, her face 
locked in eternal pleasure. Jazmin had become his first sculpture in the 
throne room. 

	Of course the stasis field was special in a way. While her body would 
never age Kid Quantum's mind was not affected by the field and was 
experiencing time at its proper flow, but in a body that was orgasming. He 
had ensured that she would orgasm for a long as he desired, for eternity if 
need be.

	She would effectively be brain dead if he didn't release her from her 
timeless bliss before a certain point, overstimulation of the pleasure 
centers of her brain could be a bitch, but it was okay. Brainiac 5 had 
already calculated exactly when that moment was. And if he left her in 
there after that, well that was okay too. He had enough brains for the both 
of them, and then some.
