Please make yourselves at home." Said Martian Manhunter
as he,and the other adults walked to the other side, After a moment, Batman spoke up.

That's it?
They turned to Speedy
"You promised us a real look inside, not a glorified Backstage pass."
"It's a first step. You've been granted access few others get" .Aquaman stated
"Oh, really? Who cares which side of the glass we're on?" Said Roy as he pointed to civilians in the viewing booth above
"Roy, you just need to be patient." Said Green Arrow
"What I need is respect!.
They're treating us like kids. Worse like sidekicks!
We deserve better than this.
Speedy look towards the other young Heroes
You're kidding, right?
You're playing their game?
Why?
Today was supposed to be the day, step one in becoming Full fledged members of The League. "Speedy Said
"Well, sure, but I thought step one was a tour of the HQ" Said Kid Flash.
"Except the hall isn't The League's real HQ.I bet they never told you it's just a false front For tourists and a pit stop for catching zeta beam Teleported tubes to the real thing, an orbiting satellite Called the watchtower." Said speedy
Batman give green Arrow a hard look .
"I know, I know, but I thought maybe we could make An exception. [Batman now glared at him.]
"Or not."
"You're not helping your cause here, son stand "said Aquaman
"or what? You'll send me to my room? And I'm not your son! I'm not even his. I thought I was his partner, but not anymore. Guess they're right about you're not ready." ready. Said as he walked away
[alarm starts blaring]
Superman to Justice League. There's been an explosion at Cadmus. It's on fire.
I've had my suspicions about Cadmus. This may present the perfect opportunity to
[ batman was interrupted by the comlink going off again ]
"Zatara to Justice League. The Sorcerer Wotan is using the amulet of attan to blot Out the sun. Requesting full League response."
"Superman?" Batman asked
"It's a small fire. Local authorities have it under control. Then Cadmus can wait. All leaguers rendezvous at Zatara's coordinates. Batman out"
"Stay put" Batman spoke to the teen heroes
"What? Why?" Said the young heroes
"This is a League mission. You're not trained. "Said the flash
"Since when?" Replied Kid Flash
"I meant you're not trained to work as part of this team." Said the Flash
"There will be other missions when you're ready". Said Aquaman
"But for now, stay put." Said Batman
"When we're ready?
How are we ever supposed to be ready when they treat us like Like sidekicks?" Said Kid Flash
"My mentor, My King, I thought he trusted me "Said Aqualad .
"Trust? They don't even trust us with the basics! They've got a secret HQ in space! " Said Kid Flash
"What else aren't they telling us?" Asked Aqualad
"I have a better question. Why didn't we leave with Speedy? " Said Robin
"What is project Cadmus? "Asked Aqualad
"Don't know, but I can find out" Robin Said as he walked to the computer and began typing
Access denied.
"Heh Want to bet?" Said Robin
"Whoa! How are you doing that? "Asked Kid Flash
"Same system as the bat cave. "Robin began hacking the computer
Access Granted.
All right. Project Cadmus. Genetics lab here in D.C . That's all there is, but if Batman's suspicious, maybe we Should
Solve their case before they do.
"It would be poetic justice "Said Aqualad
"they're all about justice. "Replied Robin
"But they Said stay put. "Aqualad Said
"For the blotting out the sun mission, not this". Said Robin
"Wait.
"Are you going to Cadmus? Because if you're going, I'm going. "Said Kid Flash
"Just like that we're a team on a mission?" Said Aqualad
"We didn't come for a play "said Robin
Cadmus
[sirens]
"Help! Get us down! "Said the trapped scientists
"Stay put. We will get you" said the fireman as a explosion knocked out both of the scientist out of the window
Kid Flash came rushing in caught them and was able to rush them up on top of the roof but lost his grip on the side of the building silp and caught the edge of a window
"Ohh, ohh! It's what's his name Flash boy! "Said the fireman
"Kid Flash! Why is that so hard?" He yelled at the fireman
"So smooth". Mocked Robin as he and Aqualad got the the building
"Does he always have to run ahead?We need a plan."Said Aqualad
"Robin?" Questioned Aqualad he looked around not seeing him anywhere till he heard him laughing
"Ha ha ha!" Robin laughed as he climb the fire truck use his grappling hook onto the building to land inside the window and pull kid flash to safety
"I need to borrow that. "Aqualad Said to the fireman as he used his power to take all of the water that they were using from the hose and form a Vortex like platform that he used to raise himself up to the roof of the building with a scientist
"Step aboard now. "Said Aqualad
Aqualad lowered the platform hopped off onto the same window that Kid Flash & Robin where and continue to lower it until the scientists were safely on the ground
"Appreciate the help." Said Aqualad sarcastically
"You handled it , we're here to investigate. Poetic justice, remember? "Said Robin
[beep]
Aqualad look towards the noise There was something in the elevator
Elevator should be locked down. Said Kid Flash
"This is wrong.
This is a high speed express elevator. It doesn't belong in a two story building. Read Robin as he looked at the blueprints of the building on his holographic display gauntlet
"Neither does what I saw. " Said Aqualad
Unh!
Aqualad rip open the elevator doors
"And that's why they need an express elevator. "Said Robin as he used his grappling hook and rappelled down the shaft Aqualad and Kid Flash rappelled down after Robin
"I'm at the end of my rope. "Said Robin as he jump to the edge of the shift and begin using his Gauntlet to hack
"Bypassing security."
"There! We Go!"
"Welcome To project Cadmus. "Said Robin
"Wait!" Aqualad whispered yells at Kid Flash as he stated running
"Aah! Ohh "Kid Flash tried to top stop but slipped and slid across the floor there was a loud thumping sound [growling] [hiss] the hero's looked saw a huge gray like creatures marching forward
"No . Nothing odd going on here". Said Aqualadin disbelief
Unknown Area of Cadmus
"Ok. I'm officially whelmed". Said Robin
"This is how they hid this massive underground facility From the world. The real Cadmus isn't on the grid. It generates its own power with these things." Said his kid flash as he pointed to creatures and a tube like structure structure producing electricity
"Must be what they're bred for.
Of course. Even the name is a clue. The Cadmus of myth created a new race by sowing dragon's' Teeth into the earth"Said Aqualad
"And this Cadmus creates new life, too. Let's find out why."Said Robin as he pulled out a cord from his Gauntlet and plug it into the computer and begin hacking it
"They call them genomophs ! Look at the stats on these things super strength,Telepathy, razor claws. These are living weapons! "Said Robin
"They're engineering an army, but for who? "Asked Kid Flash
"Wait. There's something else. Project Kr and Project UL ugh! These file's triple encrypted. I can't"
"Don't move!" Yelled Guardian as he rushed into the room with a small Squad of genomes
"Wait. Robin, Aqualad, Kid Flash?" Asked guardian
"At least he got your name right." Said Robin
"I know you your a hero "said Aqualad
"I do my best. "Said Guardian
"Then what are you doing here?" Asked Kid Flash
"I'm in charge of security" said Guardian
"You're trespassing, but we can call the Justice League, Figure this out. Said Guardian
"You think The League's goanna approve of you Breeding weapons?" Questioned Kid Flash
Weapons?
"What are you what have I "Questioned Guardian than the genome on his shoulder looked at him its horns began to Glow
"Take them down hard! No mercy! "Said Guardian
Causing Robin to throw a smoke bomb down he used his grappling hook to grab one of the support beams and swing himself past Guardian and all the genomes
Kid Flash and Aqualad begin to fight
they rushed in and stated to attacking
Guardian tried to use his shield to bash attack aqualadb but Aqualad was able to grab it and use his power to electrocute him and run towards the exit
[Kid Flash]
When genomes begin attacking he jumped back used the wall to Vault himself and Tackle down one of the genomes punched another and then ran towards the exit Robin had gone to
"Way to be a team player, rob!" Said Kid Flash annoyed with Robin
"Weren't you right behind me?" Said Robin being a smart ass as he was hacking the elevator doors
"We're headed down? Dude, out is up " said Kid Flash
"Excuse me? Project Kr, and Project UL it's down on sub level 52."said Robin
"This is out of control. Perhaps perhaps we should contact The League." Said Aqualad
[ding]
"We are already here". Said Kid Flash
[sighs] Aqualad as he run after them
"Which way?" Asked Aqualad
"Bizarre looking hallway one Or bizarre looking hallway two?" Said Robin
"Halt! " the genome said as he uses telepathy to toss an explosive Barrel at the young Heroes Robin and returned fire with one of his batarangs The genome used his Telepathy to stop it and throw it right back as the Heroes Rush down one of the hallways
"I disabled the door. We're safe." Said Robin
"We're trapped". Replied Aqualad
Uh, guys. You'll want to see this.
"Whoa! Big "K" little "r," the atomic symbol for krypton. Clone?"Asked Kid Flash
"Robin, hack "Said Aqualad
Oh.
"Right, right. Weapon designation Superboy, a clone force grown In 16 weeks? From DNA acquired from Superman"
"Stolen from Superman. No way the big guy knows about this." Interrupted Kid Flash
"Solar suit allows him to absorb yellow sun Radiation 24/7." said Robin
"And these creatures?" Asked Aqualad
"Genomorph gnomes, telepathic, force feeding him An education. And we can guess what else." Said Robin
"They're making a slave out of, well, Superman's son".said kid flash
"And what of him?" Said Aqualad as he walk to Project UL
Physically, he is a tall man with a somewhat angular face with whisker marks and phenomenally developed physique. His hair is golden yellow and long, His attire consists of black combat boots and black pants a single belt wrapped around each thigh. A belt featuring a Fox skull themed buckle wraps around his waist, and he wears black, gauntlet shaped gloves with three buckled straps on each one. His coat is a deep red with two coattails, and black flames at the bottom the coat has a more pronounced buckled collar, and a black strap going over his right shoulder wrapping around his chest, with two golden studs on the front. The front of the coat is also patterned individually from the rest of it, resembling body armor, with a zipper closed all the way up from the waist to the bottom of his neck and a hood (think Dante outfit from DMC 2 but with Naruto red sage clock design at the bottom and some saiyan style body armor and a hood)
Project U.L
The Ultimate Lifeform
Origins : Unknown boom tube malfunction brought him to Cadmus
Attempts to clone : Failed
Project notes
study of the subject has revealed hundreds of unknown dna's body modification include but not limited to artificial prosthesis,and eye modifications
as well as producing a type of energy not matching anything we know of
Attempts to add DNA show great promise
further analysis showed perfect assimilation and enhancement of abilities from the DNA
from this we can assume the subject has some form of Assimilative Evolutionary ability as it's base ability Unknown currently how many or what abilities the subject may possess
gnomes are currently teaching the subject plans to awaken subject once sufficient knowledge and safeguards are in place
"Now we contact The League". Said Aqualad
"No signal. We're in too deep" said Robin
"They're still in there with the weapons?"
"We can't get the door open. Use your telekinesis!" Said Desmond
"I have tried to no avail."
"Useless".said Desmond
"This is a debacle. Get some g trolls down here to muscle the door open now!".said Desmond
"Already on their way."
"You realize once we get in there we can't ever let Them leave" said Desmond
"Doc, these aren't your typical meddling don't want to get on the wrong side Of the Justice league "said Guardian
"Better than getting on the wrong side of the Cadmus Board of directors, believe me. Contact the g gnomes inside Kr. "Said Desmond
"This is wrong. We can't leave them like this. Set them free".said aqualad
Cadmus Communications Room
you require an audience with the light? Yes.
Very sorry to disturb you at this late hour.
Just make your report.
Of course.
Ahem.
Well, we had a small fire here at project Cadmus.
The origin of the incident is still unclear, but it seems to Have attracted some Unwanted attention.
Robin,Aqualad, and Kid Flash Breached security.
They found and released the weapon, the Superboy.
Of course the clone is under our telepathic control and as Ordered turned against his would be liberators.
The 3 are contained, and we don't believe The League knows They're here.
Uh, what should I do with them? Clone them.
The substitutes will serve the light and only the light.
And the originals? Dispose of them.
Leave no trace.
Cloning Lab
"What? What do you want? Quit staring.
You're creeping me out " said Kid Flash
"Uh, KF, how about we not tick off the guy who can fry Us with a look?" Said Robin
"We only sought to help you". Said aqualad
"Yeah." Said kidflash
We free you, and you turn on us.
How's that for grate.
"Kid, please, be quiet now."said Robin
"I believe our new friend is not in full control Of his actions" said Aqualad
"What what if what if I wasn't? "Said superboy
"He can talk?" Said kidflash
"Yes, he can." Said superboy
"Not like I Said, it." Said kidflash
"The genomorphs taught you telepathically" .asked aqualad
"They taught me much." Said superboy
"I can read, write."
"I know the names of things." Said superboy
"But have you seen them? Have they ever actually let you see the sky or the sun?" said Aqualad
"Images are implanted in my mind, but no."
"I have not seen them ".Said superboy
"Do you know what you are, who you are?" said Aqualad
"I am the Superboy, a genomorph, a clone made from The DNA of the Superman, created to replace him should He perish, to destroy him should he turn from the light. " Said superboy
"To be like Superman is a worthy aspiration, but like Superman, you deserve a life of your own beyond that Solar suit, beyond your pod, beyond Cadmus." said Aqualad
I live because of Cadmus! It is my home! Your home is a test tube." Said superboy
"We can show you the sun." Said Robin
"Uh, pretty sure it's after midnight, but we can show You the moon. " Said kidflash
"We can show you, introduce you to Superman".
"No, they can't. They'll be otherwise occupied." "Said Desmond
"Activate the cloning process."
Pass."
"Batcave crowded enough."said Robin
"And get the weapon back in its pod!"Said Desmond
" come he gets to call Supey an it? "Said kidflash
Help us.
"Don't start thinking now."Said Desmond
"You're a weapon, and you belong to me! Well, to Cadmus."
"Same thing."
Now get back to your pod! "Said Desmond
"Get the g gnomes downloading their memories."
"When that's done delete the source material.""Said Desmond
"Superboy, you gives you the right to follow your own path.A weapon or a person, the choice is yours, but ask Yourself, "what would Superman do?" Said aqualad
"You here to help us or fry us? Huh".Said kidflash
I don't seem to have heat vision, so I suppose Helping is my only option.." Said superboy
" ! Lucky Batman isn't 'd have my head for taking so long.."said Robin
"Seriously, that's what you're worried about? The whole League will have our heads after tonight. "Said kidflash
"Free Aqualad.I'll get kid mouth.."said Robin
Cadmus 1st Floor
"Project Blockbuster will give me the power to restore order To Cadmus".Said Desmond as he drank the vial and turn into some kind of creature it begin to lash out at the young heroes
Suddenly a shout was heard
RASENGAN!
A red black and gold energy ball slammed into the Beast pushing him through the roof and exploding knocking the creature out and destroying the roof
Cadmus Aftermath
"Who are you" asked Robin
"oh! Project UL why'd you decided to help us" asked kidflash
"The name is Naruto Uzumaki pleasure to meet you and you could say it was a thank you of sorts for freeing me" Said Naruto
"See? The moon" said kidFlashOhAnd we keep our promises or what? " said kidFlash
"Is that what I think it is? And who's this" asked Superman
"He doesn't like being called an it. " said kidFlash
"I'm Superman's clone" said Superboy
"Start talking". Batman Said to the young heroes and so they told him everything
"And him what's your story?" Asked Batman as he looked towards Naruto
Where do I startI, I'm not exactly from here I was in a fight I don't know what the hell happened but something went wrong and I ended up kami knows-where the trip hurt me real bad and i ended up in a coma I was found by a man called Dr. Gero sick son of a bitch.I wasn't conscious for most of it even when I did heal up he somehow kept me asleepHe turned me into a on me Transforming my bone structure, modifying my body, implanting dna, techniques and fighting started using mines and something's else's power (Janemba) to open dimensional portals to send spy robots shrunk to microscopic levels to gather the dna ,energy,and info on the skills of the strongest most skill and smartest people from different universes as well as anything useful. I only know this much because it was part of whatever knowledge he was giving me
but it was taking too much time, which gero didn't have."To fix that, he left programming to his Supercomputer, programmed to think like exactly Gero himself in every possible way to continue his work well he moved on to different project
after I don't how long or how many experiments. some weird portal thing showed up Outta nowhere ripped me out of the lab i remember hearing voices something about the Cadmus and the light and then those little weird imp things put me back to sleep Said naruto then it looks like Cadmus continued the experiments and here we are Said Robin (freak boom tube opens up in gero lab taking naruto to the DC universe where Cadmas finds him)
Cadmus will be investigated, all 52 levels, but let's make One thing clear.
You should have called.
End results aside, we are not happy.
You hacked Justice League systems, disobeyed direct Orders, and endangered lives.
You will not be doing this again.
I am sorry, but we will.
Aqualad, stand down.
Apologies, my king, but no.
We did good work here tonight, the work you trained us to do.
Together on our own we forged something powerful, Aqualad
If this is about your treatment at the hall, The 3 of you
The 5 of us, and it's not.
Batman, we're ready to use what you taught us, or why Teach us at all?
Why let them tell us what to do? It's simple.
Get on board or get out of the Superboy
Mount Justice
This cave was the original secret sanctuary Of the Justice League.
We're calling it into service again.
Since you 5 are determined to stay together and fight The good fight, you'll do it on League terms.
Red Tornado volunteered to live here and be Your supervisor.
Black Canary's in charge of training.
I will deploy you on missions.
Real missions? Yes, but covert.
The League will still handle the obvious stuff.
There's a reason we have these big targets on our chests.
But Cadmus proves the bad guys are getting smarter.
Batman needs a team that can operate on the sly.
The 6 of you will be that team.
Cool! Wait.
6? This is the Martian Manhunter's niece Miss Martian.
Hi.
Liking this gig more every minute.
Welcome aboard.
I'm Kid Flash.
That's Robin, Aqualad.
It's cool if you forget their names.
I'm honored to be included.
