Supergirl textposts… PART FIVE!!
Supergirl Characters + Text Posts Part 2/?
Maybe you can draw Brumsy (Clumsy x Brainy) ? : )
Fan of this ship
Did you ever post a list of your Brainy headcanons, on any social media platform?
I don’t think so, so why not do it now! Headcanon lightning round!
Brainy has asthma, which is why he doesn’t talk much and wheezes a lot. He actually has a lot to say, but physically cannot verbalize it
If hey Arnold was set in the time of phones, he’d be the person who texts paragraphs
His family can’t afford a proper inhaler for him which is why he just struggles with his asthma day to day
Brainy loves music! He collects records and such and even likes to try mixing them and making his own stuff
On Career Day he spent his day with Nocturnal Ned, which further inspired him to want to get into music
Brainy is autistic, which only further pushes him into not speaking. As mentioned before he has a lot to say, but his fears of being weird and his physical inability to talk much hold him back
Brainy really really feels like he has to stick to the crowd. In some episodes, a character will embarrass themselves or do something dumb and the class will be seen laughing, and Brainy will be there laughing as well. This isn’t because he’s malicious and is laughing at others pain, he just sees everyone else laughing and decides to join in cuz that’s what they’re all doing
Brainy has a tendency to daydream and wander off. Why was he alone by himself in the theme song? He zoned out and kept walking away from the group
Brainy’s best friend is Curly! He’s close with all the Geeks (as seen in Rhonda’s Glasses) but Curly is his ride or die
The two often have playdates together. Curly understands Brainys difficulty with talking so will give him ample time to say what he’s thinking
Brainy is aromantic, and the reason he so obsessively follows Helga is because he feels like he has to. Seeing all the kids around him having crushes and falling in love, he assumes that’s just the script of everybody’s life so he decides to follow along. Not because he necessarily wants to but because he feels he has to. And he puts 110% in, which is why he’s seen as “creepy” because he extra wants to prove ‘hey look at me I’m super girl crazy ! I’m just like all you other boys I have a super big crush!!!!’
He often internally struggles with wondering if he’s just forcing himself to be in love or if he actually is, and explores more of his identity in middle school and highschool
He genuinely does wanna be Helgas friend!
He has super quiet steps which is why he always sneaks up on people
His last name is Weezer (shoutout to my bestie for coming up with that)
I probably have more headcanons I just forgot lol maybe I’ll make a part 2
what do you think it would be like if Brainy from Supergirl met the MAWS version of Kara?
Oh boy, I have to imagine that a version of Kara that was literally raised to be a weapon by Brainiac would not sit well with Brainy.
I think he'd feel guilty at first. With the mentions of ancestral memory peppered into Supergirl canon, it makes me believe that Brainy's connection to Brainiac goes beyond him being a distant relative/reoccurring threat even in the 31st century. Brainiac's history, mind and knowledge is a part of Brainy in some visceral way that goes beyond our own natural understanding and so coming face-to-face with a Kara that was brainwashed by the teachings of a version of his own ancestor... oof that has GOT to cut deep.
Once Brainy gets to know Kara, though, the friends she made in her universe despite the awful things she'd been made to do, I think he would be inspired by her perseverance. They would probably have a lot of opportunity to trauma bond considering they were both raised by people who sought to control them by limiting their minds. Not only that, but they both share the emotional scars of their past, and an underlying fear that they can't escape the poison that is Brainiac, that they might share a little of that darkness no matter how far they try to run from it.
From Kara's perspective, meeting another Brainiac has gotta feel a little bittersweet. To know his legacy continued on in another universe for so many generations probably makes her fear for the future of her own world, and likewise it would also make it extremely difficult for her to trust anyone who carried the title or markings of Brainiac. But again, I think that after learning more about this Querl Dox, she'd come to realise that they were both unwitting victims of the Brainiac clan, manipulated into doing awful things, even believing them to be correct (Kara's adamance of the superiority of the Kryptonian Empire vs Brainy wanting to bottle an entire planet) but that paving a path for themselves as well as finding a chosen family of close friends to help carry them forward is what really defines them. Also, knowing that a Brainiac was able to break that cycle of violence would probably also help her believe in herself a little more.
On a more lighthearted note, Kara's forwardness and penchant to speak her mind is kinda similar to Brainy's, which would either lead to some hilarious clashing or maybe some eventual established common ground. Speaking of common ground, I think they'd also bond over food. (After Kara's crash-course in human desserts, I have to believe she's developed some funky flavour preferences).
I also feel like Brainy might be somewhat relieved to know that Clark is taking a closer interest in Kara and personally helping her acclimatise to Earth in this universe. Kara was a lot younger in the CW universe when she arrived, and the Danvers family did prove to be a good fit for her, but it's canon even in the show that Clark wasn't around nearly as much as he could've been, even when Kara idolized him so much. (I know it's never explicitly stated Brainy and Clark even really knew each other in Supergirl, but there is a Legion ring at the Fortress, so I like to believe that some version of the events of Superboy & LoSH did occur, enough that Brainy would have had a certain expectation of Clark when they met as adults).
I could go on lol, but those are some of my thoughts. Thanks for the question Rachel! I'm also SUPER excited for season 3 dropping in a matter of hours!!
The first time it happened, all agents took their weapons out the moment Lena entered the building like she owns it.
Alex considered firing everyone who let her past the guard post and then shoot her. In the leg. Maybe.
"Take it", Lena threw something at Brainy, who somehow was completely calm. It relaxed Alex too, since Brainy was an expert on calculating danger level of everyone.
And then Lena just turned around and exited the DEO, like she was dropping of their lunch or something. And she was still fighting with Kara!
"What the hell, Luthor!?" Alex shouted to her back, only to recieve resolute "Shut up!" in return.
Alex sputtered, because: excuse me, but you came to the secret underground goverment facility like to your own office! Brainy muttered something, tinkering with the thing Lena brought.
"It's anti-kriptonite suit", he said in wonder, already running some simulations on his tablet. "She shouldn't has figured this out for ahother five years".
"Brainy, test this thing in every way you can, and if it's safe, take it to Kara immediately", Alex grumbled, but her sister's safety was more important than Luthor's strange wims.
/ / / / / / / / / /
Next time everyone still grabbed their weapons, but wasn't ready to shoot just yet, as Lena angrily stormed into the building. Perhaps it was because despite her stare she complied with every security measure guards asked of her.
Which didn't stop her from slamming thick file into Alex's chest.
"What the hell, Luthor!?" Alex saw how Brainy grabbed Nia's hand to stop her from standing up.
"Shut up", Lena returned, as she went back without any explanation.
Alex was left with papers and strange sense of deja-vu.
Looking through evidence on their resent villain and drafts of some devices to counter his powers, Alex thought about how Lena always choose time when Kara was absent from the building.
/ / / / / / / / / /
When they reached fifth visit like that no one was surprised anymore. Because everytime they would be stuck, Lena will miraculously appear with what they need. But she still stubbornly refused to talk with anyone besides Brainy and only about science behind her inventions.
This time she confidentely walked into the building, but Brainy instantly stood up. Everyone around them tensed, powers and guns ready. Lena opened her mouth to protest but he forced her to sit under bewildered eyes of everyone in the room.
"She's injured", was the only thing Brainy said, as he pried another helpful thing from Lena's hands.
"Am not", Lena replied, and Alex noticed how she slurred her words a little. "Take this shit and let me go".
Nia was already out of the room, fetching medical supplies, when Alex moved Brainy to the side to check on her.
"Left side, one inch lower than her ribs", he told Alex. Nia, who put Alex's medical bag down, gently rubbed his back, even if it was almost invisible that he was worried.
Alex pressed her hand under Lena's jacket where he instructed, and her fingers returned covered in blood.
Lena was still swearing, when Alex cleared her wound - bullet hole - and dressed it.
"You need medical attention, Luthor", Alex said quietly. After everything she was still angry at the other woman but it didn't mean she wanted her dead.
"If I show it to someone, I'm as good as dead", Lena chuckled, cleary half-delirious from pain and pain-killers. How she managed to get there on the sole willpower was beyond understanding. "Even if you want it, I would like to live a little longer".
Alex didn't answer. Couldn't. Even if she knew it wasn't true, some part of her wanted Lena to believe it. To suffer.
It was a shameful, selfish thought.
/ / / / / / / / / /
"Lena?" Kara's weak voice sounded incredibly loud in the quiet of their usual exchange.
Lena stiffened and promtly turned to flee in the middle of her conversation with Brainy.
"Lena!" Kara could catch up to her in the blink of an eye, but somehow near Lena she always forgot she has powers.
Lena spent too much time talking over some sort of mathematical models and Kara wrapped up her mission early.
"Please, wait!"
"Leave me alone", Lena gritted through her teeth, but even Alex saw tears in her eyes, as she sped up.
"She's hurting", Brainy supplied from Alex's side, as they both watched this strange chase.
"She's injured again?" Alex asked with small pang of guilt.
"No, she's hurting emotionally. More than she shows."
He didn't add anything else. They watched door slamming into Kara's pitiful face.
/ / / / / / / / / /
"Why are you helping us?" Alex asked her about a month after Lena and Kara's dramatic meeting.
"Shut up", Lena answered, tired as hell after three all-nighters they pulled to rescue Kara from another dimension.
"It's getting old, Luthor. Spill the beans".
Perhaps it's exhaustion, perhaps it is somehow sisterly look in Alex's eyes, but Lena is silent suddenly, before almost pushing words out.
"You said you will turn over the world for your sister, didn't you? I had someone like that once. My big brother, who would be the only one to treat me like a person in the place that was supposed to be my home. Who protected me from everything he could. And whom I admired so much I wanted to be just like him".
Alex tensed, as always when talking about Lex. But Lena's voice was quiet, and her face already wet from tears she seemed to hold for so long, and Alex shut her mouth this time.
"When he did all that he did, I was disappointed. But I still loved my big brother. But when he first tried to kill me? I was heartbroken. The person who withstood father's beatings in my place tried to kill me", Lena chuckled through her sobs.
Alex never allowed herself to think about Lex past his atrocites. She couldn't afford any pity for the person who tormented her sister and her family. But right now there was another little girl beside her who lost her only family.
"You said you will turn over the world for your sister, didn't you?", Lena turned to her. "I killed my brother for her".
She didn't said anything after that. Just cried herself to sleep. And Alex was just sitting there, left alone with shocking news and even more shocking realizations. Lex was dead. Lena was the one who killed him. He told her Kara was Supergirl and she still killed him.
/ / / / / / / / / /
"Don't pity me, it makes my skin crawl", Lena said the next day, when she was given her own pass to the DEO. She threw it on the table right in front of Alex, and agent considered asking 'what the hell, Luthor' just for the fun.
"I'm not. But after what you did for my sister and what you continue to do, the least I can do is to give you free entrance".
Lena sat beside her, tired and feverish from overwork.
"Don't care about me either".
"When will you talk to Kara?" Lena scowled when Alex ignored her, but still took the pass.
"Never, perhaps. I look at her and see the dead body of my brother. It's not something a little talk can fix. And she will blame herself, burdening me with another endless boundle of her apologies".
"She will learn of his death eventually, and then she'll found out how he died. It will happen anyway. And yes, of course, nothing will be fixed just because you too will talk. But maybe you can relieve some of your burden, and maybe several small talks will help you both".
Lena didn't lift her head from the shiny surface of the table. But she nodded tiniest bit.
/ / / / / / / / / /
Lena kept coming to help. Kara kept trying to talk to her.
One day Lena conceded, and then she screamed at Kara for an hour in the empty conference room and stormed out.
They had reverse situation later, when Lena came injured once again. Kara screamed about her being reckless, and they eventually reached her past sorrows.
They screamed, then talked, then whispered. And slowly started to smile again. Later came tentative touches, lunches and game nights.
So when almost two years later Alex found them in the kitchen doing something she would prefer to erase from her mind, everything finally became as it should.
Lex: I see you’ve replaced me with… them.
Lena: Yeah, these losers love me. They also brought snacks.
Kara: And friendship.
Alex: And a flamethrower.
Brainy: And legally binding emotional support.
Lex: Pathetic.
Lena smirking: That’s Miss Pathetic to you.
