Wednesday Sept 26: Crossover

Though Brainy had said they could have a 21st century date in the "future", Brainy regretted not planning the night himself. Now he was in his lab with Clark, his grinning boyfriend, looking at the two "Blu-rays" he was holding for him to pick from.

"Clark," Brainy wasn't sure if he could make it through this conversation without yelling, "Do you remember what happened the last time a 1980s cartoon came into this lab?"

Looking at the movies, Clark frowned, looking insulted, "The Smurfs cartoon show was from the 80s, the movie is from 2017."

"Uh-huh," Brainy made a show of rolling his eyes, "I know the other one is also an 80s product."

"Nope," Clark grinned, "The Troll toys were from the 80's, this movie is from 2016."

"Media from, and based on, the 1980s is cursed," Brainy deadpanned, hating that he had been forced to use such a nonsense concept to get his point across.

"It wasn't so bad," Clark hid his face behind his media disk cases, making Brainy strongly suspect that he was smiling.

Trying very hard not to yell, Brainy took a deep breath, "We were sucked into another dimension and turned into ponies, Clark: ponies. We had no hands for weeks and its unclear how we even made it back to our world and back to our normal forms because the author never continued the story after chapter two."

Lowering the cases, Clark stared at Brainy.

Brainy stared back, unsure where that knowledge even came from.

Walking by, Ryan Reynolds Deadpool commented, "Fourth Wall Break," and continued on his way and out of the story.

"Intruder," Brainy shouted, sounding the alert and chased after the plot device.

"Wait, I have questions!" Clark all but threw his movies to the side as he followed suit.

The Legion searched headquarters but the anti-hero from another comic company were no where to be found and they were forced to give up.

"What wall do you think he broke?" asked Clark, floating a bit instead of walking as he accompanied Brainy back to his lab.

"Scans haven't revealed anything but we'll find and fix it later," Brainy walked into the lab, "For now I'm putting those movies into a vault before they do any damage."

"But Brainy," Clark took hold of his boyfriend's shoulders, fully planning on kissing him into seeing his point of view and watching one, if not both, movies.

"Yes?" asked a voice that definitely, did not, belong to Brainiac Five.

Several voices hushed the first voice and if looks could kill, Clark's absence would greatly alter the time line.

"I love you?" Clark smiled charmingly.

Though he heard it many times before, Brainy managed to blush.

"I don't even know him," commented the earlier mystery voice.

The other voices hushed him again.

Sighing, Brainy looked into the lab, "My name is Querl Dox, my hero name is Brainiac Five but my nickname is Brainy. Is it safe to assume I share that title with someone here?"

"Did he say hero?" a strong voice asked the others.

"Could be a trap," commented a grumpy one.

"Stop thinking the worse of everyone Branch," commented the first female voice.

Floating towards the voices, Clark looked into a workspace where he thought the small creatures could be hiding, "Princess Poppy?"

Jumping out from her hiding spot, the pink Troll, Poppy threw up her arms in a ta-da fashion, "Present!"

Peeking out from behind something Clark had no clue what did, the gray Troll Branch glared at the Troll princess's back, speaking harshly, "Poppy, you get back here right now before that furless Bergen eats you."

"I'm not a Bergen," Clark defended quickly, "And I don't need to eat a Troll to be happy." He smiled at Poppy, "Especially not such a cute one."

Beaming back, Poppy fluffed her tall pink hair, "Why thank you, good giant."

"I don't trust him," stated Branch.

"Stop worrying," Hefty Smurf peeked out of hiding before jumping out and flexing, "I'll protect us if they try anything funny."

"And who's going to protect you?" Brainy Smurf poked his head out to look at his fellow Smurf, adjusting his glasses as he did so.

Hefty shot a glare at his bro while Branch smirked.

"Come on guys," Smurfette stepped out of her hiding space, "Let's give these guys a chance; we are in their house after all."

"Your sister makes an excellent point," Creek, the purple Troll, followed her out. "We should judge books by their covers." He swallowed a little, looking the giants over, "No matter how big those covers are."

"Fine but if we get eaten, I hope they take you first," Branch glared and roughly shoved passed Creek to go over to Poppy.

"Always a pleasure Branch," Creek rolled his eyes, then noticed the giant with the blue eyes staring at him weirdly, "Um, hello?"

"Um, hi?" Clark mumbled, then turned to Brainy, "Is there a way to tell if these are duplicates from the movies or if we somehow pulled them from their dimension?"

"Not with such little information," commented Brainy, "I'd have to run a few tests."

"Tests?" Brainy Smurf perked up at that and moved forward, "Brainy Smurf speaking, perhaps I could be of some assistance?"

"You're a little small for my equipment but your input could be useful if we do need to track down your dimension of origin," Brainy acknowledged and held out his hand for the small creature to climb onto.

Grinning, Brainy Smurf rushed to climb up but was held back by both Branch and Creek.

"We shouldn't be splitting up," commented Creek.

"He could just be taking you away to eat you," warned Branch.

Though he rolled his eyes, Creek turned to Brainy Smurf, "We do need answered though. Why don't I come with you? I can't contribute much to a scientific endeavor but that way you won't be alone if anything were to happen."

A soft blush crossed Brainy Smurf's cheeks that Clark definitely noticed.

After Brainy went to another part of the lab with Brainy Smurf and Creek, Clark watched Hefty Smurf work out and flex for an unimpressed Branch while Poppy twirled about for a very impressed Smurfette.

"Dear god, I ship it," said Clark, both excited and horrified at the same time.
