Summary: When Kaldur and the Team re-enter CADMUS, they discover a new superhero. Elisa has the power to see auras and heal, but could her weaknesses outweigh her usefulness? Kaldur/OC
Kaldur's POV
"Ready, everyone?" I ask.
"More than ready." The clone growls back.
"Remember guys, we just want to download the information and go." Robin said.
"Ready to run!" chirps Wally.
"Be careful, I'll be here with the bioship." Says M'gann.
I wave at the rest of my team to move in. Infiltrating the first levels of Cadmus is easy, it's the lower levels we need to worry about.
Robin picks the lock, and within five minutes we've reached subterrainian level 10 of Cadmus.
"Robin," I say. "What is the quickest way to the super-computer?"
"From the blueprints we have, I'd say through the prison block." He whispers.
"Umm, guys," Wally hisses "what about the scary things in the prison"
"We avoid them." I say seriously.
We make our way to the prison block quickly, a long white hallway with cells on either side. Most of them are filled with mutated creatures, Cadmus experiments.
"Eww," groans Wally.
"What did they do to these poor animals?" asks Robin, staring at a dog with spikes.
Wally runs ahead, as Robin and I continue to make our way through the prison.
"Guys, I think we have bigger problems." Wally exclaims as he reaches the end of the hallway.
Robin and I run to catch up with him, and stop in horror when we see what waits at the end of the hall.
"Oh my God." Robin gasps.
Sitting in an all white room, with arms suspended over her head, was one of the most beautiful girls that I'd ever seen. True she's probably looked better.
She had a metal gag over her mouth, and was attached standing up to the wall by thick metal bands. She was wearing a white crop top and pants, and I could see that her stomach was covered with bruises, cuts and burns. Her eyes were a startling blue, but unfocused. Her hair was the only thing clean about her, it was held in a tight red braid along the back of her head.
"Robin." I poked him, never taking my eyes off the girl. "Check her file."
"Kay." He moved over to the little computer in front of her cell. "Kaldur." He gestured.
I looked at the screen. Name: unknown. Age: sixteen. Aquired: 1998.
"1998. She's been here for so long." Wally gasped.
I made a decision. "Abandon mission, we're getting her out."
Robin gaped at me. "You sure, we don't have the information."
"Do you want to leave her here?" I looked at him.
"No way, man." Wally said. "Besides, she's hot."
"Robin, Wally, guard me. I'll go get her out." They nodded.
I pushed open the door to her cell and cautiously approached the girl. I was trying to be quiet, so as not to frighten her.
I carefully reached out a hand and touched her shoulder. She flinched away violently.
"It's okay. You're okay. I'm going to get you out of here" She settled down, still shuddering. I noticed that her eyes still did not focus. Perhaps she was blind.
"I'm just going to remove your bindings. Is that alright?" She nodded.
I started with the gag, carefully using water tools to unscrew it from the wall and remove it from her mouth. As soon as I got it off she coughed.
"Okay." I said soothingly "I'm going to take off the others now."
I pulled off the ones holding her feet, and then used one hand to support her body while I removed her arm cuffs. As soon as I set her down on her feet, she nearly collapsed. I caught her with my arm, being careful of her stomach wounds, and helped her as we walked out of the cell.
"Took you long enough." Wally said as soon as we got out of the cell.
"These are my friends, they are going to help us escape." I said to her.
"Hey, we're friend of the justice league. Do you know them?" Robin asked.
She nodded. "Th..Thank You." She said quietly.
Suddenly an alarm blared off.
"Damn it!" Yelled Robin.
"Which way are the guards going to come from?" I asked Robin.
"I don't know!" he yelled back.
The girl raised her hand. "Three from the left, two larger ones from the right."
We stared at her.
"How did you know that?" asked Wally, as we took off down the hall. Me supporting the girl.
"I can sense them." She said. "And we are surrounded.
