Taking requests!

[caiusbackup]

Hey, all. Since I enjoyed doing fic requests so much last time (way back when in August!), I'm going to do it again.

Give me a character, pairing, situation, or whatever (preferably related to something I've discussed here or elsewhere indicated I know something about--rather a lot of the DCU is fair game, and Increasing Amounts of Marvel, Mostly Related to Captain America), and I'll most probably write you a short fic.

"Now Brainy will stand *here* in the middle of the field, far away from innocent bystanders." Cosmic Boy pointed to the map labeled "Zombie Battle Plan," on which was inscribed many arrows and notes. A large, green brain was helpfully included in the center of the field.

"After the zombies are attracted by the Brainy's brains, Team 1--that's you, Shadow Lass, and Ultra Boy and Lightning Lad--will come in from the right."

"Yes, yes, and Team 2 from the left," said Garth. Cos glared at him.

"Where is our bait, anyway?" asked one of Triplicate Girl.

"...while Teams 1 and 2 are getting into position, Team 3 will haul Brainy out from under his lab table. Starting now. Supergirl?"

"Yessir!" said Kara, still brimming over with energy. "Um, who are my teammates?"

"Team 3 is just you. Funny, that," commented Ayla.

"I don't think I get the joke."

"It's a blond joke. You wouldn't understand."

"Lightning Lass, lay off." Ayla rolled her eyes and joined Team 2.

Brainiac 5 wasn't, actually, under his lab table. Or, well, he was only under there for very importantly reasons, namely developing Brilliant Technological Anti-Zombie Device that wouldn't require he, Brainy, to get anywhere near said Zombies.

Zombies were every Coluan's nightmare.

It was, of course, because of his Important Research that he didn't answer the first three times Supergirl politely knocked on his door, or even the first time her (lovely) voice called in to him.

The fourth time, the door gave in, and Brainiac 5 reluctantly looked up from his work. "What is it? ...oh hi, Supergirl." Zombies, he reminded himself, zombies. Even if it *was* Supergirl.

"You need to come out, now. You're an important part of the plan!"

"Yes, yes, I'm working on that."

"I don't think you understand."

"I'm Brainiac 5. Of *course* I understand. You all want to use me as bait, because you've acknowledged that I'm the only one around here with brains. I'm staying here until *I* have come up with a better plan."

"But the zombies are coming *now*."

"Then let me work."

"No. I'm going to do my part, and that means moving you." She flew across the room, with a remarkable degree of accuracy and dexterity, and took hold of Brainiac 5.

"--hey! Mind the equipment!"

"If you don't want your items harmed, please put them down."

"Just give me a second?" Kara hovered impatiently. He regretfully put down his research, which wasn't going all that well, anyway, to be honest.

Being hauled bodily from his lab had its compensations. Mostly involving being held--quite closely--by Supergirl.

Being put down again, in the middle of a deserted field, had *no* such compensations, and the levels of Brainy's brain that were still busy thinking ZOMBIES! took precedence.

"Now stay *here*. We'll be back to rescue you soon."

Yielding to the inevitable, Brainiac 5 crossed his arms and cowered in his personal force field. Supergirl disappeared from his sight, and on the horizon there appeared the unforgivable sight of an army of decaying sentients.

"BRAINS!" they cried, in Interlac and a hundred local languages, besides.

Brainy cowered. Supergirl, he thought. Supergirl. Supergirl.

"BRAINS!!! BRAINS!!! BRAINS!!!"
