After Speedy's outburst and leaving of the Hall of Justice, the other sidekicks were left to brood. They couldn't believe that their mentors had such distrust in them! Was it because they were still technically kids?
"When are we suppose to be ready, when they treat us like, like sidekicks!" Kid Flash said exasperated.
Aqualad looked down and said,"My mentor, my king, I thought he trusted me."
"Trust? Trust! They don't even trust us with the basics, that they've got a secret HQ in space!" He yelled out the last part.
Aqualad gave a sigh, "What else aren't they telling us?"
Then Robin said,"I have a better question...Why didn't we leave with Speedy?"
Kid Flash and Aqualad were surprised by the question and kept silent.
Breaking the silence Aqualad asks,"What is Project CADMUS?" Curious as to why Batman was suspicious of the facility.
Robin looks to him, "Don't know,"he smirks,"but I can find out."
He goes over to the computer and starts to typing until the computer says 'ACCESS DENIED'.
Robin merely snorts,"Wanna bet?"
Suddenly the screen is a light with multiple files and software being cracked and hacked.
"Wow...how are you doing that?" Kid Flash says amazed.
Robin smiles while still looking at the screen, "Same system as the Bat Cave."
Then the computer voice say 'ACCESS GRANTED'.
"Okay Project CADMUS" Robin begins," genetics lab here in DC..That's all there is. But, if Batman's suspicious, maybe we should investigate."
"Solve their case before they do, it would be poetic justice." Aqualad says while smiling to KF and Robin.
"Hey, their all about justice!" Robin jokes.
Aqualad sighs," But they said to stay put."
Robin replies wit ha cheeky smile," For the blotting out the sun mission not this."
Kid Flash grabs Robin's shoulder and asks," Wait are, are you going to CADMUS? Because if you're going, then I'm going."
Then KF and Robin turn to Aqualad with big grins.
"Just like that we're a team on a mission." Aqualad said seriously.
"We didn't come for a play date" The Boy Wonder says.
Aqualad smirks widely.
As they arrived at the Project CADMUS building, found that their was an elevator that went farther down then it should have on a two-story building, went down to sub-level 26 found huge monsters that were called Genomorphs,and Robin hacked into a computer.
"Woah, look at the stats on these things! Super strength, telepathy, razor claws! These are living weapons!" Robin said.
KF narrowed his eyes," Their engineering an army, but for who?"
"Wait there's something else," Robin says as Aqualad comes up from behind him to look at his holographic screen," Project Kr...ugh...the files triple encrypted I-I cant-"
Suddenly they hear, "Don't move!"
"Wait Robin, Aqualad, Kid Flash?"
Aquald looks at the man closer then say," I know you, Guardian a hero."
"I do my best" Guardian says.
"Then what are you doing here?" KF asks.
"I'm chief of security, and you are trespassing, but we can call the Justice League and get this all sorted out."
"You think the League's gonna approve of you breeding weapons?!" Kf says incredulously.
"Weapons? What are yo-" Guardian cuts off, as soon as the horns on the genomorph on his shoulders light up.
Then Guardian orders the genomorphs to take the little heroes down hard and with no mercy. Robin throws down a smoke bomb, and barely escape by getting into a elevator to get out of CADMUS. Aqualad looks up at the elevator floor counter going from 42 to 43 and so on.
"We're going going down?!" Aqualad says.
"Dude out is up!" KF says to Robin while pointing his fingers up.
"Excuse me? Project Kr? It's down on sub-level 52." Robin says.
This is getting out of control," Aqualad says while rubbing his neck and pacing in the elevator," Robin perhaps...perhaps we should contact the League."
KF and Robin look down at he ground to think, when the elevator dings, opening it's doors to floor 52. They all get into fighting positions, but relax when they see no enemies. The walls of the cave were strange, they looked not at all like rock, but more like something squishy and gooey not to mention the fact that the wall were freaking pink!
Robin runs out of the elevator and KF looks over to Aqualad, " We are already here."
Aqualad gives a deep sigh and follows after Kid Flash and Robin.
Suddenly, while they are scoping out the perimeter and trying to figure out which path they should take that might lead to Project Kr their attacked! The thing that was attacking them was a Genomorph with large horns and apparently a telekinetic judging by the gas barrels that were floating and about o be launched right at them. So, with no other choice our 3 sidekicks take the right hall which as they are running reveals a big metal door at the end of it, and a woman walking out of it. The door was quickly closing so Kid Flash taking the initiative gets something to hold the door open a bit longer, but it wouldn't hold long.
"Hurry!" KF yells to Aqualad and Robin.
Robin and Aqualad , jump through and Aqualad kicks the thing that was holding the door open out and the door slams shut. While, Robin hacks into the doors system and emergency locks it so no one could get in, but they also couldn't get out.
"Guys, you might want to look at this." KF says while pushing a button that lights up a platform with a pod in the middle of it, and revealing that inside of it was a 5 year old boy!
