Chapter Two:

I woke up late the next morning, rushing around I got ready and headed straight to the transportation chamber. Superboy was already there waiting, he looked extremely annoyed. Before he could say anything I put my hands up to stop him. He rose an eyebrow.

"I know, I'm sorry."

"Let's go." He answered.

I sighed and followed him. This was going to be the longest trip ever. We boarded the ship, we got the smaller one, and it didn't seem fair to me, considering Conner actually needed room. He sat at the control panels and I sat at the back. We started to head toward our destination. I tried talking to him but all I got back were grunts as responses. We landed in a small clearing and got off the ship. Looking around, the forest seemed way too quiet, I didn't like it. We walked through it, heading toward the massive guarded building. I stepped in something.

"Ewwww. Gross." I complained. I shook the goo off my foot. Suddenly a vine wrapped around my ankle, winding around my body. I kept my scream in, I could compromise us.

"Ah Superboy?"

"What is it Wonder girl?" he asked, sighing. He hadn't turned toward me either.

"I need some help here." I admitted, feeling my cheeks heating up. This was so embarrassing. I usually could use my strength to get out but the vines were pretty thick and wound around me, trapping my arms. He sighed and turned back to me. He shook his head and walked toward me. He started to rip at the vines. I struggled to try and help and after another awkward minuet I was free.

"Thanks." I muttered.

We headed toward the building and stopped short behind a tree, shielding us from view.

"I can see four security cameras." I pointed them out. Superboy nodded, he turned toward me, looking me in the eye.

"We are here to gather information. Not to fight, understand?"

"Yeah yeah, how are we meant to be getting in there?" I asked Mr Know-it-all.

"That parts easy; there is a blind spot around the left side. We will head there and get onto the roof. There is a door at the top that they won't have guarded. We enter through there and make our way down into the main section of the building…"

We went to head for the left side before my arm was yanked back. To a normal person it would have hurt, to me, not so much. I rolled my eyes and looked back to him.

"We don't spilt up."

"Ok." I said a little frustrated. I was still being treated like such a child. Superboy always treated us younger ones like that. I followed his lead. He pointed up. I nodded and took his hand in my own. Surprisingly I got some tingling in my hand. I tightened my grip, just in case I let go. I got us to the roof.

"Door is over there." Superboy pointed to the dead bolt door. As we walked over to it, I saw that there an air vent. I really hoped I wasn't going down in it. When we got to the door, I poked it, using just a little bit of pressure. The thing didn't so much as make a sound.

"Locked from the inside." Superboy answered my next forming question.

"Sooooo?" I asked, looking at him and shrugging.

He sighed and pointed at the air vent.

"I clearly won't fit." He said. I groaned and glared at him.

"Fine but you owe me!" I huffed walking over toward it. I took off the vent and jumped into the tube. It actually was a little bigger than the one I was last in, I shuddered at the memory. I manged to find an exit and head back toward the top to let Superboy in. before I did so I called out to him.

"You owe me." I said, I knew he could hear me. I heard him sigh.

"Can you open the door Wonder girl?" his voice held a little annoyance. I ignored that.

"You owe me ice-cream and the good kind after this. I want choc cookie dough. That is the best kind of ice-scream….." I was rambling.

"Wonder girl." His voice held a little threat behind it. I still ignored it.

"I also want there to be flake as well. I will defiantly need a sugar hit for this…."

"Cassie!" I paused for a moment and sighed. I opened the door to see a very angry Superboy on the other side.

"Could have knocked you know." I suggested sweetly. He didn't seem too impressed. I had once been told by Wonder woman herself that I had a gift on getting under people skins. I knew that to be true and smiled beside myself. It was one awesome gift.

O.O.O.O.O.O.O

We had searched the base and by the looks of it, people were evacuating.

"Maybe we should follow?"

"I was thinking the same." Superboy agreed.

We started our retreat, there was a small earthquake that rocked my balance I stayed upright thanks to Superboy holding onto my elbow. I took to the air, carrying him as well. We headed to the exit on the left, making sure we went going to be spotted. Suddenly something hard slammed into me; I dropped Superboy and fly straight into the wall.

"Owwie!" I complained, digging myself out the hole I made.

I looked down to see Superboy and some massive alien guy squaring off. I reported back to base.

"Wonder girl to base, we may have a slight problem."

"Report." Nightwings voice clipped.

"We have an old friend." I said, now remembering who the alien was. Pongo. This guy had some serious attitude problem; he made Superboy's temper look, well nice. I shuddered. I launched myself at Pongo and kicked him a few metres away.

"We need to go." I reminded Superboy.

I saw Superboy glare at the alien and then gritted out a response.

"Fine."

I rolled my eyes and picked him back up and doubling my pace, we made it out and back to the ship. The next thing I knew I was blacking out. My vision swam; I saw Superboy as the last thing before totally darkness took me.
