Acting
Title: Acting
Universe: Legion of Super Heroes vol 5
Prompt: 26. Pretend
Rating: PG
Summary: Brainy's gotten good at acting.
It’s easy. He hears her voice, murmuring suggestions, making little jokes. He sees her standing just behind them, or off to the side. But they don’t see her, and they’ll think he’s crazy if they catch him talking to her.
He sees their pitying looks when they think he’s not watching, not knowing that he’s watching all the time.
There are times when he wants to laugh, to tell them that he had cheated death and gotten Nura back, and that they were just too blind to see it.
But part of him likes having Nura all to himself, so he holds his tongue and keeps up the act.
