The scientist watched as Cadmus burned, pulling out his phone he accepted the incoming call. "Yes?"

"What's happening?" The building shuddered.

"The sidekicks have arrived though there is no evidence the League is present."

"The site is compromised anyway. Was the last attempt successful?" The scientist turned away from the building to face the street.

"No evidence of heat vision or flight. It wasn't good enough."

"So a new attempt will be made, maybe a clone was the wrong path." The scientist walked over to a waiting car.

"What would you suggest?"

"A child, something strong enough to defeat him that he will not want to fight."

"Do we have any more of his DNA?"

"No, a new source must be found. Also a mother."

"I would recommend a super powered mother, one that could give the child an advantage over it's father."

"Good, any recommendations?"

"One of the lab techs could hover, he mentioned a cousin, Faye Robbins."

"She will be… brought to your new location, a new DNA source will also be found."

"Of course. I will continue to serve the light."

"Yes, for the light will need a weapon against Superman."

"Faye? Are you up sweetheart?" A tall brunette woman stood in the doorway of a dim bedroom.

"Yes Aunt Georgie, did you want something?" A shorter brunette looked up from a laptop in one corner.

"Joe wants to take you out to breakfast, some of his friends from work invited him and he thought you might be interested in meeting…"

"So you asked him to help get me out of the house?"

"Well, sweetheart I just…"

"It's cool, give me second to change and I'll go."

"Thank you, you need to get out more I know you're working hard at school but you spend so much time inside."

"Thank you for caring Aunt Georgie."

"Of course I care." The younger of the two women smiled. Setting her laptop on the ground next to her Faye stretched her arms over her head letting her top ride up over a toned stomach. "Joe will be hear in a moment, come downstairs when you're dressed."

"Okay Aunt Georgie." The older woman closed the door behind her and walked down stairs her steps heavier than Faye expected. "Wonder what's got her upset." Faye shrugged and pulled of her top, pulling on a fresh t-shirt and then swapping her jeans for tights and a skirt. Faye grabbed her jacket and bag from the hook over her door and slipped into the hall.

"Aunt Georgie?" Faye stood at the bottom of the stairs and looked at her aunt and cousin.

"Faye, thank you for coming." Joe smiled almost too brightly at the young brunette.

"Yeah, thanks for inviting me." Faye lifted her eyebrow and glanced behind her cousin. "Does your friend work with you in the labs?"

"No, Harry's in security, so we should head off. Sorry mum."

"It's okay dear, well sweetheart, I'll see you later." Georgie pulled back her shoulders and walked stiffly into the next room.

"Joe, what's…?"

"Come on Faye, we need to go." Joe turned sharply and walked out the door. Faye frowned but followed.

"Joe, why is your mum so upset?" Faye hurried to walk next to her cousin.

"Nothing you need to worry about." Joe looked away from his cousin at Harry. "Can we get this over with?" The trio stepped into the ally next to the house.

"It is over." Harry pulled out a gun and pointed it at Joe. "Your role is finished." Faye stepped forward, reaching for her cousin when something sharp poked her shoulder.

"But I just had too…" The shot was almost unexpected. But Faye found herself unable to flinch away. The walls started to fade and the figures around her blur. The person behind her grabbed her waist, keeping her from falling as her legs gave way. Joe was a lump on the ground, red spread to become the predominant colour in her vision, then black creeping up on the edges before rushing to overtake the world, smothering the shuffles as she was lifted over someone's shoulder and Joe was dragged out of the way.

"Did you get it?" The scientist's voice crackled slightly over the phone.

"Yeah, I'm getting paid in return right?"

"Yes, deliver the package to the location you were given you payment awaits you there."

"Cool, cool. Um, I'm just outside the door, do I knock or?"

"Set the package on the ground and knock."

"Okay." The boy sets the small case on the ground before rapping lightly on the steel door.

"Are they going to let me in or…?" The boy jerked and the phone clattered to the floor. A shadow slipped from fire escape to the ground as the boy slumped to the ground. The door opened and the shadow became a man before he ducked slightly to grab the case and slipped into the lab.

"Well done, return to your post, keep a sharp eye out for any of the League." A nod and the case was handed over to the scientist.

The man turned to his equipment and opened the case. A card was placed into a chamber where is dissolved. The liquid changed from cloudy white to clear. The scientist took a sample of the liquid and dropped it onto a scanner. The screen flashed green, then blue and red. The scientist smiled. The boy had succeeded.

Turning back to the liquid it was stored and placed into a new case that was carried out of the lab and into a car. "I have it."

"Return to the new site and finish the procedure."

"Of course."

August 5, 13:35 EDT

Faye lay on the table limp, she had been there for hours, slipping in and out of a daze, the drugs had changed her perception of time after the first week. The lack of daylight had gotten to her after the second. She was no longer sure of her surroundings, they had begun to blend over the course of the day. She had been in only two rooms in the past what she believed to be a month. The scratches on her wall now numbered thirty. The spoon she had been using to mark the passing of days through the number of injections was at least an inch shorter.

"Is the subject ready?" The scientist was a white blur to the girl

"Yes sir." Faye blinked. She thought the middle aged nurse had left.

"Good, start the procedure." Faye turned her head to one side. There was several chambers and an odd looking tube on the table next to her. They looked familiar.

The nurse took the tube and stepped up to Faye. Faye drifted off for a moment. The next thing she knew the nurse was putting the tube back on the table and her legs were spread slightly apart. Three of the chambers were empty.

"Return her to her room. Run a blood test in a week." The scientist swept from the room and the strap holding Faye to the table was undone.

"Carry her to her room." The nurse instructed the guard. The broad shouldered female guard lifted Faye gently. Faye instinctively grabbed the woman's shirt.

"She's losing weight."

"We can slow the drugs down now. She will gain an appetite soon enough." The guard nods at the nurse and walks into the hall. The scientist was the only man in the facility now. One of the male guards had attempted to enter the subject's room one night and sent the Scientist into near hysterics. The six guards, two nurses and the scientist were the only ones in the extensive basement below a small farmhouse. Two of the guards had moved in with the scientist, pretending to be two middle aged parents and their twenty year old daughter. Now the guards swapped duties in the house. Two on guard above, one bellow. The three of duty helped the nurses cook, clean and care for the young female subject.

The guard reached the third door down the hallway and shifted the girl in her arms. A mumbled protest made the guard blink. Opening the door and striding to the bed on one wall the guard let the girl slip onto the plain matrass. The guard turned to leave. Refusing to glance at the body on the bed. She couldn't do anything. Not this time.

August 12, 15:00 EDT

"Sir?" The scientist glanced at the nurse in the doorway. This one was younger, prettier too.

"Yes?"

"The blood test came back positive."

"Good, return her to the room and start to swap to tablets, drop the sedative levels and put the subject under watch. A camera in the room will do, have a guard watching the feed at all times, swap to three rotations of two." The scientist looked back down at his papers. If he finished this report he could talk to the light about both matters at once.

"Sir?"

"What?" The scientist frowned.

"Isn't she too young? For motherhood?"

"She won't be a mother." The scientist growled at the nurse.

"But…"

"Just do as I said, or I will have you replaced."

"Sorry sir, yes sir." The nurse paled and pulled back out of the room almost slamming the door.

The scientist entered the last part of the report and turned to face the wall. "Call L-3."

"What?"

"The procedure took, the experiment is ready to proceed to the next stage."

"Good, send through your reports, I will pass them along to the other members of the Light."

"May the world see the Light."

"Yes, may the Light prevail."
