#time for rich to have a panic attack about his BRAINIAC TRAUMA

@12lvlintellect gets to deal with more of his ancestor's fallout

Richie couldn't stop himself from staring. It was like looking into a funhouse mirror. Blond hair and that symbol on the other's forehead struck him to his core. Out of fear and instinct he took a step back. His blue eyes were wide as memories washed over him.

On his back his companion, Back-Pack, detected his sudden rise in cortisol levels and increased heart rate. It let out a whirr of concern before releasing a slew of tendrils, as a precaution.

"H-Hey!" He couldn't keep himself from stammering, his heart racing and body on the verge of shaking. The memories were too vivid.

"I don't know who you are-- but this is a Brainiac-free planet, buddy!"
