I feel helpless for the most part

But I'm learning to open my eyes

And the sad truth of the matter is

I'll never get over it

But I'm gonna try

To get better and overcome each moment

In my own way

- Even if it Kills Me -

Motion City Soundtrack

Red. The color of the wall. The disgusting walls that she saw day in and day out. The walls symbolizing her captivity. There were days where she would stare at that wall, analyzing it. Studying it. Her lifeless eyes never wavering in their stare. She wanted out. She wanted to feel the sun against her pale skin, to feel grass below her toe, but most of all she wanted to feel the sweet taste freedom. She could spend day's dreaming about being a normal girl, much like she used to be. She could picture the perfect little dream house with a white picket fence. The lushes green yard under the bright summer sun, but like every dream she possessed, it blew up in smoke. For they had returned.

"What is the status?"

"Nothing has changed Sir. It's vitals haven't shown any sign of fluctuation."

At the sound of voices, the lifeless eyes shifted to center in. No emotion displayed on her face but her eyes held hatred.

It.

They had referred to her as an it. She was nothing but a object, a weapon in their eyes. She would never be considered as she once was, a person. A person with emotions and thoughts. She loathed it. It was as if evil gazed at the girl while dead eyes stared back. A smirk could be heard in the voice.

"It's being stubborn. Increase the voltage and see if it's able resist then." Foot steps could be heard as they echoed through the area and soon disappeared. Accepting her fate, the girl turned her eyes back to the red wall. She hugged her legs closer to her chest and began to drift into her sanctuary. It was her safe haven, but it was to also be her tomb. At that moment she dreamed that someone would save her. Her knight and shining armor would bust through this cage to whisk her away. Closing her eyes, the girl let a tear slip down her cheek as waited for the cruel fate that she was to face.

Feet pounded on the floor in a constant rhythm. Heavy breathing matched the steps exactly.

" Hey, Supey where are you leading us?" An exasperated voice asked. The voice belong Wally West or better known as Kid Flash, the sidekick to the super hero Flash. He and his friends, Robin and Aqualad had disobeyed Justice League orders and had come to investigate the fire at Cadmus. To say that they were in deep trouble was an understatement. They had discovered more than they probably should have. The boys had found Superboy, a clone of Superman that Cadmus had created. Superboy had just freed the other boys from their own cloning process and now they were running aimlessly running around this labyrinth to find an exit. A voice in Superboy's head had been directing them.

"Run straight, then turn right." The voice echoed in Superboy's head. He didn't understand why he was following the voice but he continued to obey the commands.

"Right!" He spoke quickly before turning right, the other boys followed. He had never answered Kid flashes question but didn't have to when they came to a large vault like door that was similar to the one the sidekicks had found Superboy behind. They came to a stop and panted to catch their breaths. Aqualad peered up to read the bright green words.

" Project Siren. What is Project Siren?" He asked as he looked over his shoulder to glance at his companions. Kid Flash was hunched over, hands on his knees trying to catch his breath. Robin was in the midst of pulling up his holographic screen installed in his glove. He took the USB cord that was attached to his glove and inserted it into the control panel next to the door.

" Let's find out." He spoke before quickly typing his fingers across the holographic keyboard. He waited for the red Robin heads to turn green. In a matter of seconds the large door began to open with a loud rumble. When it was fully open, all four boys ran inside. The door close behind them, and they turned to stare into the room. It was pitch black except for the large white dome in the center The walls were similar red and somewhat glowing like Superboy's room. Superboy took a step forward and the room became bright. The room must have had motion sensors.

"Um guys, what is that thing?" Kid Flash spoke to break the silence. All of the boys were staring at the structure in the middle. The dome was completely see through and the lights on the floor shined onto the glass. The glass caused the light to reflect off and become somewhat blinding. In front of the dome was a grey control panel and computer. The thick cords connected to the hard drive of the console ran along the floor and then up the walls connecting to a large generator. The generator was then connect to multiple Tesla coils that hung from the ceiling. The boys took slow steps towards the large dome. As they got closer,they began to see what the dome concealed. Their eyes began to widen when they could make out the silhouette of a small body. Robin moved towards the console with speed. He quickly attached his USB cord into the computer and began typing rapidly on the keyboard. The other sidekicks moved to stand behind the boy wonder.

" Project Siren. Ah there you are." Robin spoke to himself as he clicked on the file. What he found made his eyes grow in alarm.

"It's a girl! They've been experimenting on this girl for couple of years now." He spoke in shock. His masked eyes turned to gaze at the dome. Unplugging the cord, Robin moved to stand next to the glass.

"She's like me." Superboy stated when he came to his conclusion. The thought was somewhat depressing. He didn't like being cage up, never being able to be his own person. He could only imagine what the girl was feeling.

" Kf, let her out. The more time we waste, the less likely we will be able to get out of here." Robin spoke over his shoulder. Kid Flash stood there, blinking rapidly before his brain caught up with the rest of him. Aqualad looked at the speedster and quietly knudged him. Kid Flash seemed to snap out of trance and began typing on the console. Superboy stud behind them watching with his arms crossed over his chest. They all watched as dome began to shake, separating at the top. The two halves moved farther away from each other until they sunk into the ground, disappearing.

The soft sound of muffled sobs could be heard coming from the form in the center of the floor. Robin took cautious steps towards the weeping figure. The girl sat huddled on the floor in ball, knees pulled to her chest and face buried in her arms. There was no doubt that the sound was being emitted by her. Robin took a step onto the platform slowly. His friends watched his steps towards the girl with worry. They had no clue what this girl was capable of. All three of them were ready to jump into action if they need necessary.

The sobbing stopped and the girls body froze. Robin's boots had made a squeak of protest against the floor. He cringed slightly at the startling sound, knowing it had caused the girl to cease her tears. He watched as the girl slowly peered over her arms. When his person came into view the girl let out a high pitched screech. She scrambled backwards to get away from the stranger, clamping her eyes shut and putting her hands up to shield her face. Her scream had startled all four boys and they looked in the direction of the girl. Her screech had made Robin visibly jump.

" P-please don't hurt me!" Her voice came out strained and broken. He stared at the strange girl, his eyes looking over her fragile frame. Her pale skin was littered in lacerations and burns along her neck and hands. There was no doubt that the injuries continued under her white suit which was similar to Superboy's attire. He couldn't see much of her face but he could infer some facial features. Raising his hands in surrender, Robin took small steps towards the girl.

"Hey, it's alright. I'm not going to hurt you I promise." He tried to make his voice as soft as he could to avoid scaring the girl any further. The girl apprehensively moved her hands from her face and opened her eyes to look at the person in front of her. Her puffy red eyes, still full of tears widened at the sight before her. She peered at the boy, scanning his face for any sign of hostility. When finding no signs of potential harm she then slightly leaned on her side to see around him to look at the others. Her eyes quickly flickered between the boy in front of her and his companions. She looked at the boy in the yellow suit. Her gaze mainly focused on his flaming red hair and bright green eyes. Next her focus moved to dark skinned boy standing next to the ginger. She could read that he meant no threat through his eyes. The last boy gave off a intimidating aura but his eyes showed her empathy. She then shifted her gaze back to the masked boy who had taken another step towards her. Her body sat still as she watched him crouch in front of her.

"I'm here to help. So are they. They won't hurt you." He spoke again staring at her face. Robin could now make out the girls facial features fully. Her face, somewhat pale in complexion, was rounded which made him infer that she hadn't lost all of her baby fat. The bridge of her nose sloped into a button, giving her a cute and innocent appearance. Her lips were full and pink with deep bite marks were clearly embedded in her bottom lip. His eyes then shifted to her hair. It was quite long, cascading down her back and sides. No doubt it would be close to her waist when she were to stand. Her hair color was a shade of pale blonde. Bangs covered the a majority of the right side of her face but Robin could still make out her eyes. It was safe to say he had never seen that color of eye before. Her almond shaped eyes were a deep shade of purple. He had never seen eyes like that. He peered into her orbs as if caught in a trance.

He was soon broken out of the trance when a loud banging sound caused the room to slightly shake. The group stumbled around trying to regain their balance.

"I believe they have found us." Aqualad half shouted. His hands moved to grab his water weapon once he regained his balance.

"Rob, you might want to hurry this up!" Kid flash warned his friend with a annoyed yelp. The room continued shake causing uneasy feelings to course through everyone's body individually. Robin need to figure out a way to get this girl to move and fast. She let out a soft cry when the pounding increased. Her fearful gaze never wavered on the door. She could visibly see the door shake under the assault.

"I need you to look at me." He spoke softly but commanding. At the sound of his voice, the timid girl snapped to stare at him. He let a smile cross his face.

"Ada girl, now I need you to come with us." He held out his hand for her to take. Her eyes shifted between his hand and his mask. Growing impatient, he tried a slightly different tactic. He understood the girls fear. She had withstood torture day in and day out. Who knows how long this girl has gone without a friendly face who was generally there to help?

" I know you're scared but I promise nothing will happen to you." He spoke softly. She rose her shaking hand but pulled back slowly.

"Trust me." As soon as those words left his lips, Robin felt a small, dainty fingers grasp his hands. A larger smile broke out on his face as he pulled the blonde to her feet. She stumbled a little on her wobbling legs but was able to stand with some help from the boy wonder. He smiled one last time before taking her hand and lightly tugging her towards his friends. He was right, her long hair almost reached her waist. She was also about a head shorter than him. The smile disappeared when the door was ripped off it's frame by a giant genomorph. The group got into their fighting positions. Robin moved instinctively in front of the girl planning on keeping his promise.

"You brats have been out of your pods long enough. You will regret letting the weapon out but your biggest mistake was setting her loose." A voice that belong to the scientist known as Dr. Desmond sneered. The older man glared at the side kicks with great malice. A large amount of slightly bigger genomorphs sat by his feet ready for their orders. Robin picked through his belt and pulled a batarang for each hand rapidly. He soon felt a chill run down his spine. A dark aura resided behind him, which caused him to peer over his shoulder. The mysterious girl lightly pushed Robin out of her way. Her entire demeanor had transformed.

" Her. So now you admit that I am a person. Not just a tool for your sick and twisted amusement." She spoke, her voice thick with malice. It was as if the small timid girl didn't exist. The entire group looked back at the blonde before turning back to the doctor. Desmond's face held a sense of panic. He knew she wanted revenge. Revenge against him and now that the sidekicks had gained a sliver of trust, there was going to be hell to play. Having no other choice, Desmond advanced.

"Genomorphs attack!" He commanded. In a split second the genomorphs sprung into action. The next thing happened in what seemed like slow motion. The blonde haired girl raised her arm, palm side up. Concentrating her mind on her target, the girl let loose the power she had been holding in. The whites of her eyes had become a bright fluorescent purple color to match her irises. In the palm of her hand, formed a sphere of black and purple energy. In one quick motion, Her hand formed into a fist over the ball as she pulled her arm in a downward motion. The four boys watched as one of the unlucky genomorphs became suspended in air, trapped in a large mass of purple and black energy. The force of the energy didn't just leave the genomorph immobilized but it drew the surrounding genomorphs to it as if it was a vacuum. With one flick of her wrist, the ball of energy exploded, scattering the genomorphs around the room. She soon tilted her head to the side in almost a demonic way. Her eyes had yet to turn back to their original soft purple.

" I'm no longer resisting doctor." She but almost spat his word back into his face.

The four boys looked astonished at each other. What had they gotten themselves into?
