"She is completed. Should we test her out?"
"No. She is too unstable."
"But we did everything you have ask. We gave her certain powers and wired in set traits and personalities of various members of the Justice League. What did we do wrong?"
"Nothing, but this power, it is too unstable for a body so young. We shall wait."
"We could force grow her, sir?"
"No, more time to pump more knowledge into her."
With that, I was frozen.

Kate's P.O.V.

"I'm Katelyn Luthor, but you can just call me Kate."
"Richard Wayne, my friends call me Dick," the boy replied as he shook my hand. While the big boys had their meeting, they thought it would be fine to leave us two on our own, in another room. Stupid adults. I smiled, walking off an digging through my bag, which I had previously tossed to the ground. "So, you're Luthor's kid. Didn't know he had any." Dick had none of the awkwardness that I tended to create in boy my age.
"He doesn't. I'm adopted. Like you. Yet somehow I still look like him. Just, you know, with hair and girly." I laughed at my own joke, but thankfully Dick did too.
"What are you looking for?" He asked.
"Some fun." I pulled out a bottle of Coke, Mentos, and another chemical that I didn't know the name of. I opened the soda, taking a drink to make room in the bottle for the chemical. I put paper over the top, then a couple of Mentos into the lid, closing it. I ripped the paper off from around the edge, then handed the bottle to the acrobat. "Let's go," I said, grinning from ear to ear.

Dick's P.O.V.
The girl climbed onto of the desk, taking the vent cover off. The clatter of the falling metal rang in my ears as I stood there, shocked. This was the daughter (adopted or not) of Lex Luthor, Superman's enemy. Yet when the petit, raven haired girl jumped easily into the vent and motioned for me to do the same, I cackled and followed. She crawled ahead, making little noise, guiding him towards another room. When she stopped I almost ran into her perfect ass. Stop it Dick, she's Luthor's kid for crying out loud! There was a section of the air shaft where it was just big enough for the two thirteen year olds to sit up. I looked down, into the room.

Both of our adoptive father were in there, along with several other important respectively from Lex Corp and Wayne Enterprises. "Kate?" I said softly. She meet me with a look that told me to shut up. I ignored it, years of being with the Batman making me immune to most looks. "I don't think this is a good idea." I wasn't one to chicken out on a prank, but Bruce would kill me if he found out. "Oh man up Grayson, no one's going to find out. Now pass the bottle." I passed it to her, watching her shake the bottle. The paper dissolved and the soda started to fizz. She opened the vent slightly, pushing the bottle through. A it hit the table, it exploded in a foamy display of sugar. The looks on everyone's faces were priceless. I kicked myself for not having a camera. I had little time to take in the view, as Kate crawled with nearly unnatural speed back towards the first room. I followed, no where near as fast, and lost her after a few seconds. I came to a fork in the vents, and had to decide which one to go through. God, I which I had been paying attention to where we were going. I chose the left one, only to come to a dead end within a minute. I was losing time. I doubled back, taking the right path this time. I hurried, trying to get back before Bruce came to check on us.

Kate's P.O.V.
I crawled out of the vent, quickly grabbing a book and sitting down on the floor. I opened it to a random place. About a minute later, Lex stormed in. God he was pissed. "Katelyn! What did you do?!" He yelled. I held up my finger, pretending to finish the sentence, then calmly put a bookmark between the random pages. Finally, I looked up. "I don't know what you're talking about father," I said, putting on my best 'totally confused' face.
"Then what, may I ask, is the vent cover doing on the ground?" I shrugged.
"Ask Richard, he's the one who took it off." I went back to my reading as Bruce walks in, also covered in foam. I hear Dick coming back down, and a few seconds later, he was on the ground.
"What happened to maning up? You ditched me!" He said, obviously annoyed.
"I told you I wasn't going up there with you, we're not all skinny acrobats who can get away with anything!" I said, my voice filled with annoyance.
"What are you talking about? It was your idea!"
"Dick, enough, we're leaving now," Bruce interrupted.
"But Bruce I didn't-"
"Now Dick. Go." Dick shot me a look so dirty that I almost laughed, but I managed to keep my poker face intact.
"I'm so sorry about that. I'll have my assistant set up another meeting, and I'll happily pay for any damage done," Bruce said.
"Don't worry about it, I know how hard it can be, raising a kid and running a business. I'm just lucky my girl is so quite and well behaved." He came to stand beside me, ruffling my hair slightly. "Anyway, I will hopefully see you soon, and sign the deal."
"Yes, hopefully." And with that, the billionaire left the room.

Dick's P.O.V.
"It wasn't my idea Bruce, I swear!" This was disastrous, heavy on the dis.
"I know Dick. But I didn't have the required evidence to blame her." This shocked me. Well, not really, he was the world's greatest detective and all that.
"Still, even though it wasn't your idea, you still had part in it, therefor, you will not be coming out on patrol tonight," the dark knight continued.
"What?!"
"Maybe you should go spend some time with the team." This sounded a lot better.
"Alright."

Conner's P.O.V.
Out of the corner of my eye I saw the speedster run towards the Zeta tubes as they announced the arrive of Robin. "K.F!" He said loudly, but to the Superboy it was as if he were shouting it right into his ear. I counted the heartbeats, trying to figure out how was here now. Me'gann wanted to have a movie night, so she had invited everyone. Great.
"Who else is here?" I asked Artemis, who was sitting on the armchair to my left.
"No one, just the team, Red Tornado, and Wolf." Superboy counted again. There were eight heart beats. He should be able to hear the heartbeats of himself, Wolf, Robin, Kid Flash, Miss Martian, Aqualad, and Artemis. But there was one more...
"I'm going for a walk." I stood up, walking away, with Wolf trailing me. I headed up stairs, towards the top of mount justice. The extra heart beat got louder, and I hurry towards the sound.

Dick's P.O.V.
"These cookies are amazing babe," Kid Flash said around a mouthful of food. I took one, nibbling on it as I thought about the girl. It was odd. She told me she was adopted, but when I looked it up, at every press conference Lex had said they were biological father and daughter. So was she lying to me, or were they lying to the press?
"Earth to Robin, what's on your mind?" Wally, who still had a mouthful of food (though probably a new mouthful) waved at lightning fast hand in front of my face. I grabbed his hand, flipping him over my hip and letting out a loud cackle.
"You gotta pay more attention K.F. Come on, lets go pick out a good movie before the girls pick some sappy love story again."

Kate's P.O.V.
I could hear Superboy looking for me. Damn his superhearing. I seriously just wanted to watch the movie with them. Well, not with them, but you get the point. I miss-calculated how much time I had, and suddenly he was on the face of the mountain with me. He looked at me with confusion.
"I know you," he whispered. Oh no. He recognised me from Cadmus. I turned on my heels and bolted, expertly making it over the uneven terrain. I didn't use my super speed yet; if I could avoid exposing my powers, I would. I was still fast, but Superboy's strides matched five of mine. I looked over my shoulder to see him mere feet behind me. He leapt onto me, pinning me to the ground. I could hear the team rushing up, obviously alerted of my presence now. "Who are you? What are you doing here?" the half Krytonian demanded. I saw Kid Flash racing towards us, the rest of the team no doubt seconds behind him. I didn't have time to fight my way out of this. "What you got there Superboy?" He asked, skidding to a stop beside us. I could see the rest of the team now. Dad was going to kill me for this. "Red Sun," I said, watching as the boy pinning me down froze. I pushed him off, into Kid Flash, giving me enough time to start running.

Wally's P.O.V.
The raven haired girl pushed a frozen Superboy off herself and took off. The weight of the superman clone threw me back, giving the girl a few seconds head start. I laughed. She was trying to outrun a speedster? I raced after her, gaining easily. When we were just out of sight of the team, I caught her. "You thought you could outrun a-" WHACK! Her fist stopped me mid-sentence, crunching my nose. Someone let out a high pitched wail of pain, and I realised with embarrassment that someone was me. "I bloodly well hope I can outrun you, considering everything I've been through!" She yelled, her green eyes burning with anger. She was cute when she was angry. Focus Wally, focus. Talk and she might stay. I opened my mouth to speak, but she took off, faster than I thought possible. You know, for a non-speedster. I got up, holding my bleeding nose and walking back towards the team. Miss Martian was kneeling next to Superboy, trying to get him out of his trance. Artemis sat beside her, Robin was on his computer, no doubt informing the league. Kaldur was the first to see me. "Kid Flash, what happened? Are you okay?"
"She, um, hit me. The girl who did that to Superboy." My face was red. I can't believe she hit me.
Superboy took in a deep breath suddenly, bolting upright. Robin spoke up. "Batman, Superman and the Flash will be here in two minutes. We should get back downstairs. We need to talk."
