A Legion of Super-Heroes "story-within-a-story", which also doubles as an "Imaginary Story" and give a glimpse at the idea of a Shadow Lass/Cosmic Boy pairing.

A drabble I plan to post once ff stops acting stupid.
"So, uh, I couldn't help but notice you're missing an arm." The third Lightning Lad says to Live Wire.
"Huh? Oh! I didn't even notice I still have this thing." Live Wire said, a bit surprised he didn't notice his robot arm earlier.
"The one I had was a lot better." The first, older, married Lightning Lad says a bit smugly.
"You lost an arm too?" Live Wire asks his older, married counterpart.
"Yep."
"Whoa. You two BOTH lost an arm?" The third one says, surprised and shocked.
"Looks that way." Live Wire says.
"How?"
"Space whale." Lightning Lad explains.
"Mekt." Live Wire says. "How'd yours grow back?" Live Wire asks.
"Some doctor I saved a while back from Prince Evillo was so grateful he grew it back for me." Garth offhandidly replies.
"Cool." Live Wire says.
"Another thing. Why were you in Element Lad's body?" Threeboot asks.
"I died." He explains.
"What?!" Threeboot exclaims.
"No way. So did I!" The older Garth says.
"Really? How?" Live Wire asks.
"Zaryn the Conqueror. You?" Lightning Lad asks again.
"Element Lad went nuts."
"Sorry 'bout that." The oldest says sympathetically.
"How'd you come back?" Live Wire asks.
"Some bizarre ritual with lightning rods, and Imra's pet Proty gave up his life for me." Garth says.
"You're lucky. You could've come back with Proty's mind instead of yours." Live Wire points out.
"God forbid."
"I am beginning to see a pattern and I really, REALLY, don't like where it's going." Threeboot Garth worries.
"Yeah. I see one too." Live Wire points out.
"And from the looks of it..." Lightning Lad trails off. He and Live Wire both eye Threeboot Garth with sly smiles forming on their lips. Threeboot Garth worries even more as the other two sling their arms over his shoulders.
"Hey don't worry. We'll be sure to get you a really cool robot arm like mine." Live Wire tells him.
"I don't want a robot arm!" Threeboot yells.
"Doesn't look like you have a choice there, buddy." Garth tells him.
"Just because it happened to you two doesn't mean it'll happen to me, right? Right?!"
"Maybe." Live Wire says.
"What's the problem? We came back." Garth points out.
"I don't care! I don't want to die in the first place!" Threeboot Garth yells.
"Hey. Not up to us." Lightning Lad tells him.
"I want to live! I WANT TO LIVE!" Threeboot runs out of the room screaming. Live Wire looks at his older counterpart, and the both go-
"High five!"
