[u][b]Days later, Legion HQ...[/b][/u] The new Legion of Superheroes was off to a rough start. The girl from Talok VIII walked out on the day of the team's first mission. Three new recruits and a veteran Legion member of days past had defeated a small squad of techno squids and a humanoid robot minion of Brainiac Five. However, two recruits en route to the new HQ in Queensland Park as well as another returning veteran [Stargirl] never made it to orientation several days ago. Cosmic Boy, currently confined to a futuristic hoverchair, looked over recent reports in the media for anything of use. "Could it be Brainiac?" he asked himself. Several Legionnaires were walking around downtown Metropolis in their civies, however each wielding their own unique powers and their new Legion flight rings/translators. Sol was amazed at fast food in the 31st century. Big Belly Burger was still holding strong some thousand years later as the United Planets' largest fast food chain spanning entire space sectors. Now though, it just said 'B's' on the wrappers. Trashcans in the new age featured biodegradable waste bins that converted waste into mulch when full. The oddness came in the units moving themselves every so often to spread the stuff around. "So...Isaak? What's with just having the pentagon for a symbol? Why not go all the way and put the S on your chest?" asked the yellow eyed Daxamite in his white New Navy t shirt tossing some waste in the wrong bin. [@Weird Tales] "You're not supposed to put metal alloys in there..." grumbled an alien civilian in passing who now sped up looking back. The waste bin exploded from its opening and launched the now semi destroyed can into the air with a bit of a bang like an aerosol can in a microwave from the 20th century. It scared a few members of the group but Sol realized his mistake and blasted the remains away with his solar heat vision. "Did you guys hear Cos' talking to the authorities about a few recruits not making it to HQ? I wonder why he doesn't want US looking into it?" Ultra Boy continued trying to break the ice and get to know his new brothers in arms like he had with Momentum and the others who went on the first mission days earlier. Sol had a ton of respect for the veteran Ferro Lad and thought his power was one of the coolest. ~KL~
