Hey this is a new story that involves the DC universe of Young Justice. Even though the Dc character are in there will be other anime character that will join in the fun. Well wont take too much of your time so here it is my first chapter. Also I am not going to start it off at the very beginning just for a heads up.
It was a normal day in Manhattan New York, traffic was jammed, the sky was clear, and people were running away from a giant ice monster. "Run!" "Get out of the way!" "Monster!" Yeah all normal here.
"You know one of theses day they have to change the brochure of New York from the city that never sleeps to the city always being attack." A teen with a red open jacket, inside he wore a black armored shirt that connects to a pair of black trousers and metal tipped combat boots. The teen had silver white short hair, his eye color was close to a dark blue hazel eyes with a near tanned skin tone. He reached at least 6 feet and lastly he had a silver necklace with a sapphire stone latched on. "Better get finish this now I'm gonna be late."
The teen jumps down from the building he was standing, and landed safely on the ground. As he passed by the running civilians he quickly made sure that monster hasn't attacked anyone else. "Hey Ugly!" He yelled. that some how got it's attention with all the screaming people. The red clothed teen got close enough where he could talk in a appropriate tone. "These are hard working people in this state, so why don't you turn around apologize to these people and go back from where ever it is you came from."
As answer the monster yelled straight at the teens face result a few spit drop to hit his face. After he was done, the teen took a minute to absorb what just happen wiped off the spit from his face and glared at the creature. "Right should have seen that one coming." In a shine of light the teen summoned a white short blade in his left hand and used the blunt side of the blade to strike right at the monsters body. The force of the blow was enough to cause the creature to land a few feet away and land on its side.
"You know kiddo you keep playing with him and we're going to end up late." An elderly man said behind him. He wore a simple black tie suit and held a cane.
"Yeah Sorry about that." He apologized before turning his attention to the monster before them. "Oh hold on." The monster let out a breath of ice, the teen blocked it in time but was incased in ice. The cocoon shattered revealing the red jacket hero uninjured and now holding a second blade in his right hand. The other blade was a shining black color with red hexagonal shaped drawing on its side. "Thanks for the breeze." The teen said. In an instant he dash forward to the monster and did a x shaped strike hard enough to knock out the monster automatically.
"Ready kiddo." The old man asked.
"Of course I am. Today's the day." That kids name was Noble Spirit.
Hall of Justice: July 14 14:00 EDT
"Quick debrief to discuss 4 ice villain attacking on the same day we shouldn't be long." Batman explained to the league.
"Best make that five." A voice echoed through out the room, until a bright light was show in the center revealing the old man and Double-edge. "How are you doing Batman?"
"Kent, nice of you to finally join us. I take there was a reason for why are you late?" The dark knight asked.
"Yeah that's my fault. An ice monster was attacking new York and I prolong the fight." The sliver haired teen explained. He looked behind him and saw a familiar face. "Hey Speedy, you've been here long?"
"No, and what are you doing here? I thought you said you'd rather work alone?" Speedy asked.
"Yeah I did but I was just being stubborn. I want to apologize to you guys for any trouble I may have caused to you." The red coat hero express regret toward the league. Surprisingly the league took it to the apology to heart and watched Batman step in front of the scanner.
"Recognized: Batman, 0-2; Aquaman, 0-6; Flash, 0-4; Green Arrow, 0-8; Martian Manhunter, 0-7; Red Tornado, 1-6." The computer configured.
"That's it." Speedy exclaimed angrily. "You promised us a real look inside. Not a glorified back staged pass."
"IT's a first step you've granted access few others get." Aquaman explained.
"Oh really." The archer point to the window where they are being watched by tourist. "who cares on which side of the glass we're on."
"Wow, I'm really surprised that i didn't notice that until now." Noble Spirit muttered to himself.
"Roy you just need to be patient." Green arrow said.
"What I need is respect." Speedy turn to the others. "They're treating us like kids. Worse sidekicks, we deserve better than this." He looked around to see if anyone would agree with him, all he got in return was complete silence. "Your kidding right. You're playing their game. Why?! Today was supposes to be "the" day, step one in becoming full fledge members of the league."
"Well sure...but I thought step one was a tour of the HQ." Kid Flash pondered.
"Except the hall isn't the real HQ." The teen as well as the league looked shock but fro different reasons. "I bet that they never told you that this place was just a front for tourist and a pt stop for catching zeta beam teleporter tube to the real thing. An orbiting satellite called the watched tower."
"Huh. That's a way better name than "Hall of Justice." Double-edge muttered. Green arrow turn to see Batman give him a scowl.
"I know, I know but I thought we could make an exception." Batman eyes narrow ask the archers request. "Or not."
"Your not helping your cause son stand down or-." But Aquaman wasn't able to finish.
"Or what you'll send to my room, and I'm not your son, I'm not even his. I thought I was his partner but..." Roy threw his hat to the ground. "Not anymore." Speedy walked away from the league. Then toward the sidekick. "Guess I was right about you four. Your not ready." Before anyone could comment the interaction the computer beeped, and on the screen showed superman.
" Superman to Justice league there's been an explosion at project Cadmus it on fire." Superman said. That's when batman said.
"I've had my suspicion on Cadmus, this may present the perfect opportunity to-."
"Zatara to justice league." On the screen a smaller window of Zatara. "The sorcerer Wotan is using the amulet of vatin to block out the sun I need full league response. Batman looked at Superman for a response.
"It's a small fire local authorities have it under control." Superman assured.
"Then Cadmus can wait. All leaguer rendezvous at Zatara location. Batman out." The dark knight turn to the teen. "Stay put."
"What why?" Robin asked.
"This is a league mission." Aquaman said.
"Your not trained-." Flash was about to continue before Kid Flash interrupted.
"Since when?!"
"I meant you trained to work a part of this team." Flash continued."
"Ow, red man ouch." Double edge commented.
"There will be other mission. When your ready." The king of Atlantis said.
"Kent you can't be saying that you agree to this right?" The red coat hero asked. But was return was a solemn look.
"Sorry kiddo but I got to agree with the league here." The silver haired teen looked away from the elderly man.
"In the mean time. Stay put." Batman end the conversation just like that. the teen stood by and watched the league walk into the classified room one by one until they were left alone in the Hall of Justice. A few moments of silence Kid Flash made the first move.
"When were ready. How are we ever supposed be ready when they treat us like like sidekicks." The junior speedster exclaimed.
"My mentor, my king I thought he trusted me." Aqualad sulked.
"Yeah that's a good way to show trust work with them for how knows how long until you finally join the league and find out the there's a secret HQ flying above us. In space!" Noble asked. "I mean what else aren't they telling us?"
"I have a better question why didn't we leave with Speedy?" Robin asked the million dollar question. Noble felt he knew the answer but went against answering.
"What is project Cadmus?"
"Other than being a Greek mythology nothing much. Robin?" Nobel asked.
"Don't know. Bet I could find out." Robin tried to log in to the computer but was denied access the first time. The boy wonder took that as a challenge a began hacking away.
"Whoa how are you doing that?" Kid Flash asked I astonishment.
"Same system as the batcave." Robin said.
"Think you can teach me something like this." Nobel asked.
"I might." Finally able to hack in to the computer. "Alright project Cadmus genetics lab here in DC. That's all there is." Robin explained.
"Well if Batman was suspicious about this place, maybe we can clear that by investigating the place ourselves." Noble suggested.
"Solve their case before they do poetic justice." Aqualad said.
"Hey they're all about justice." Robin joked.
"(sigh) But they said stay put." Kaldur reminded.
"For the blocking out the sun mission not this." Robin said.
"Wait are are you going to Cadmus cause if your going I'm going." Kid Flash exclaimed
"Well don't think you guy are gonna leave me out of the fun." Noble commented. The three then looked at Aqualad.
"Just like we're a team on a mission?" He asked.
"We didn't come for a play date." Robins comment made both the Atlantian and Noble smirk.
[Cadmus]
"Help. Get us down." The doctors yelled from inside the building.
"Stay calm we will get you out." the fire man assured but the time was all wrong. The room exploded and the force cause the doctors to fly out of the room and to the ground, Before they could made contact, Kid Flash was able to rush in and grabbed hold of the doctors and ran them up to the roof. It the midst of it the speedster was able to slip his was into grabbing the ledge of the second floor window. "It what's his name Flash Boy!"
"Kid Flash, why is that so hard." "Flash Boy" muttered. Across the roof Aqualad, Robin and Noble were running to the ledge.
"So smooth." Robin said.
"Dose he always have to run ahead we need a plan we-." But the only one letf was Noble. "Robin." They heard the echo's of the boy wonder laugh. The two teen watch as robin ran across the fire truck used his grappling hook to across the ladder and make to window Kid Flash was holding on to. At the same time Aqualad and Noble were running toward the fireman.
"I need to borrow this." The Atlantian tattoos glowed n and then used the water pack from his back and manipulate the water into forming a platform for him and Noble. The platform then risen up to where the Doctor were at. "Step aboard. Now." He ordered. In a matter of second, the hero was able the float the doctor down with the fireman as they hopped inside the window, where Kid Flash and Robin began investigating. "Appreciate the help."
"You handled it." The boy wonder said. "Beside we're here to investigate poetic justice remember."
"Yea, yeah I'm going to scope out the place." Noble said. As he walked toward the hallway he spotted something coming from the elevator. Before he could get a clear picture the elevator closed. "Hey guys. Do most genetic building need an elevator?" Kid Flash was the first to response.
"Elevators should be close." He said. Robin took a closer look of the elevator.
"This is wrong." A hologram projector appeared on his gauntlet. "Thought so this a high-speed express elevator. It doesn't belong in a two story building."
"Same thing, of what I saw. A.L Help him open this." With enough effort the two opened the door revealing the a nearly bottomless shaft.
"And that why they need an express elevator." Robin used his grappling hook as a makeshift rope. They were able reach it until the hooked stopped at SL26. "At at the end of my rope."
"And we're still not at the bottom." Noble said as he and the team swings across the ledge.
"Bypassing security...there go." Robin instructed. Nobel open the door revealing a strange corridor. "Welcome to project Cadmus."
"Very homey." The red coat hero said sarcastically. Kid Flash ran past by them. "Flash wait!" But it was too late the speedster ran ahead a bumped into something hard. A giant creature the size or of a wooly mammoth. But they walk like a gorilla, before one of its fist could crush Kid Flash rolled out the way and joined up with the others.
"No nothing odd going on here." Aqaulad declared sarcastically.
"So should we follow them? Cause I really don't want to." That was an agreement to everyone. After a few minute walking around the stumble upon security, Robin did he magic in hacking the door. As they open they were shocked to see what was there.
"Okay I'm officially whelmed." Large insects placed in cylindrical tube, conjuring electrical energy inside.
"This is how they hide a massive underground facility. The real Cadmus is on the grid it generates it's own power using these thing. It must what they're bread for." Kid Flash explained.
"Like the story goes Cadmus sow the teeth of a dragon in order to create a new race." Nobel reminded.
"And this Cadmus creates new life too." Robin saw a terminal beside him. "Let find out why." The boy wonder was able to hack to the computer and find the files. They call them Genomrophs .Whoa look at these stat, super strength, telepathy, razor claw these are living weapons."
"There generating an army. But for who?" Kid flashed asked. Robin was able to find more in the terminal.
"Wait there something else. Project KR Argh the files tripled encrypted I can't-"
"Don't move!" Man wearing a gold colored and a black and blue battle suit appeared with other genomorphs but these were small and razor sharp claws. "Wait Robin, Aqualad, Kid Flash. and who are you?" He turned his attention to the red coated hero.
"Names Noble. You know you got a little genomorph on your shoulder." He said pointing to the small creature. Noble glance back and saw Robin downloading the files.
"I know you, Guardian your a hero." Aqualad said.
"I do my best." Guardian said.
"Then what are you doing here?" KF asked.
"I'm chief of security, your trespassing. But we can call the justice league and sort this out."
"You think your boss is gong to let tell the justice league that your create weapons?" Nobel asked.
"Weapons what are you?" But something changed Nobel saw the creature one Guardian's shoulder and it's horns flashed red. "ugh, my head." His eyes snapped open. "Take them down no mercy!" He ordered the g-nome to attack, Robin acted quick and threw a smoke pellet, blinding their attacker. Noble summoned his black and white blade and clash against the g-nomes claws he didn't see the second flanking behind until...
"Duck!" He heard a little girls voice shout reacting on instinct Noble duck under a surprise attack and used the blunt side of the blade counter. Before he could ask what happen the voice appeared once more. "Block left then back kick." Nobel did as the voice instructed, he block a claw swipe on his left with his blade and countered with a back kick.
"Who are you? Where are you and why are you in my head?" Nobel asked.
"I'm not in your, and there's no time your friends are already ahead of you." Noble looked to see Aqualad and Kid Flash running out the generator room. "Guys wait up."
"Don't worry Ill right behind you." Noble heard the voice say, he managed to catch up with the others and as they turn tot he next corner Robin was there hacking into anther terminal. Both Noble and Aqualad looked back to see more g-nomes approaching them fast.
"Way to be a team player Rob!" KF exclaimed hotly.
"Weren't you right behind me?" the boy wonder asked. The elevator open at the same time Aqua lad and Noble ran in toward the elevator.
"Hold the door!" Noble yelled. The red coat hero and the atlantian jumped in the elevator just before the doors close. They could here some banging from out side before it faded. The team looked at the elevators floors and saw they were going down.
"We're going down?" Aqualad asked.
"Dude out is up." Kid Flash said.
"Excuse me project KR it's down on sub-level 52." Robin explained.
"Okay, am I the only one who feel this is getting out of hand?" Noble asked.
"Perhaps we should call the league." Aqualad suggested. Before anyone could make their decision and small ping sound was heard indicating that they reached sub-level 52. The floor revealed a new strange corridor than the last one.
"I don't like this." Noble said out loud. But his concern was ignored when Robin rushed in.
"We are already here." Kid Flash said. Leaving Aqaulad and Noble alone. The redcoat hero could hear the atlantian sigh loudly and couldn't help but pat him on the back for support. He just wish he isn't going to regret his decision
"Don't worry your not alone on this one." The girl's voice came back.
"Okay, who and where are you?" Noble was still wondering here this mystery girl is.
"I'll tell you soon I promise, in the mean time stay close with your friends." The voice instructed, and the connection was cut.
"which way?" Aqualad ask.
"Yeah bizarre looking hallway number 1 or bizarre looking hallway number 2." Robin suggested.
"Halt." A pale blue skinned with horns ordered. His horn glowed red and a canister were lifted off the ground and thrown at the teens. Robin threw a shuriken at the mutant but was stop and mid-flight . The team ran away from the creature, Kid Flash ran ahead for and bumped into a stray doctor in the facility. He saw the door from which the doctor came out of and blocked it was an empty canister.
"Hurry!" He yelled. One by one the teen entered through the door. Aqualad saw their pursuers and kicked the canister that was blocking the door.
"I disabled the door we're safe." Robin said.
"We're trapped." Aqualad retort.
"Great now what?" Noble asked.
"Uh guys. You'd want to see this." Kid Flash said. He pressed a button on the controls and a the light flash on. But what got their attention was a container that held a teenage boy with short black hair wearing a solid white body suit with the superman logo etched on the chest. The container itself had a big K and little R in front. "Big L, little R the atomic symbol for krypton. Clone?"
"Robin hack." Aqualad said.
"Right, right." The boy wonder worked his magic in the console and found the file. "Weapon designation: Superboy a clone force cloned in sixteen week! From DNA acquired from Superman." Robin explained.
"It more like stolen from him." Noble said.
"No way the big guy knows about this." Kid Flash said.
"His solar suit allow him to absorb sun radiation 24/7." Robin continued.
"And these creatures?" Aqaulad point to the genomorphs on top of Superboy's head.
"Genomorph gnomes , telepathic, force feeding him education."
"And we can guess what else. Their making a slave out of Superman's son." Kid Flash said.
"Yeah I think this calls for some extra muscle, league muscle." Each one tried activating their communicator but was found useless in matter of second.
"Ni signal." Robin said.
"We're to deep, literally." Kid Flash said.
"Hey crazy voice in my head you think you can try to contact anyone." Noble asked mentally.
"If I try I'll be found. And I'm not crazy! Just cautious." The voice exclaimed hotly.
"So what do we do?" Noble asked.
"This is wrong." Kid Flash said.
"We can't leave him like this." Robin added.
"Set him free. Do it." Aqualad said. Robin pressed a few buttons on his gauntlet and opened the container. Above the clone they could see the g-nomes horn glow red.
"This is bad." Noble hear the girl say.
"Why what worng?" He asked.
"They're waking him up."
"What?" Noble was then shook out of thought when he saw Superboy tackle Aqualad to the ground and proceed to punch him. Kid Flash and Robin got his arm while he held back his body.
"We're on your side." Robin said in strain but was ignored once the clone got a clear punch to the speedsters chin, result him to fly toward a glass tube and fall to the ground unconscious.
"Robin stop him." Noble yelled., he released the clone from his hold and the boy wonder threw a smoke bomb at Superboy's mouth. The distracted clone did not see Aqaulad surprise kick and was flown to the control console. The clone got back up quickly, Robin thought quick and fired a Taser at him, but his invulnerability was in the way. Superboy grabbed the cable and hoisted the boy wonder toward him grabbed by him the neck and threw Robin hard to the ground, Superboy was about to stomp on his chest when he was tackled by Noble.
"Superboy we're on your side." The redcoat hero said, but his word were ignored, the clone rushed for a punch. Noble blocked the first few punches but was now feeling the weight of each punch. "Duck!" Noble followed the voice instruction and soon felt a pair of hand on his back. Turns out he helped Robin with a surprise windmill kick, the attack was short live as the clone grab Robin by the legs and used him as a hammer and hit Noble in the process and finally banged him to the ground. Noble took the hit was fling into the side of the wall. "Ow."
"Enough." Aqualad roared, he used his weapon to for a hammer and knock Superboy back to his pod. The clone walk back to the atlantian uninjured. "We're trying to help you." But he was ignored as well, Superboy rushed and punch Aqualad but miss and hit the ground. The dark skinned teen countered by tackling the clone to the wall and went in for a punch, but his fist was caught and was kick back by Superboy. the clone close in their distance with a blind cross but was counter again with a knee to the body, Aqualad went for a grapple move and to add damage used the tattoos on his arms to release an electrical discharge to knock him out.
The clone yelled in pain for moment but then he leaned forward and jumped to the ceiling, evidentially slamming his back with Aqualad still on him, on the way down Noble woke back up from the shaking and watched Superboy slam the atlantian once more to the ceiling. Aqualad had released his hold from the clone and loss consciousness automatically, Superboy looked the dark skinned teen for a moment and walk past by him tot open the door, But before he could reach the door he was stopped by one of Noble's black blade piercing the door.
"Your not going anywhere?" Noble said. Superboy roared as he rushed in, Noble locked the first punch and dodged the next, he used the hilt of his blade to hit three point of the body, abdomen, chest and chin. After successfully hitting the point Noble went for a side kick that launch Superboy toward the door, having enough the clone grabbed the blade stuck to the door and ripped it out of it place, but at the same time ripping the door open. "Okay you want to play it that?!"
Noble was about rushing for anther attack but felt something off. His body would not move, as thought something was controlling him. The hero looked to see the same horn mutant he saw when he first got to this level. "How did he-?!" The teens body was then pulled roughly and collided with the wall and had went through the same action for a few more time until he was let go. The red cloaked teen tried with great effort to stand back up but before he could stand back up a force push him back down, he looked up and barely saw Superboy standing next to guardian and what appeared to be another doctor working here.
Said doctor walked up to the teen and squatted down in front of him. "Now who are you?" The doctor asked, he teen got a better look and saw the doctor face a middle aged man with glasses and long brown hair shifted to a pony tail. But the doctors question he said nothing was returned with a kick to the chin before he lost consciousness.
How do you like that now don't worry I'll have Nobles stats up in the next chapter in the mean time this OC maniac signing out
