Son of Erebus god of Shadows: I like you story idea, I really do. I may tweak it a little bit, but yes. I'll do it. J I expect you to be the first reviewer though.
This was…inhumane. Robin was sickened at what he saw. The only way he could describe it was as a nightmare come alive. His heart stuttered and his eyes widened at the sight of, this.
The holding device itself was ingenious, spherical in shape and made of multiple metal alloys. It shined in the little moon light that seeped into the cargo hold of the truck and Robin could see each piece of cold metal that interlocked with the other. But that did not compare to what was in the center of the device, at its heart.
A vertical steel bed was placed precisely in the center. On that steel grave though, that is what was truly horrifying. A boy. Older than Robin himself; but younger than Super Boy. He had snowy white hair, but black as night eye brows and lashes. High cheek bones and a strong jaw line. He was handsome and Robin would admit it. But the sight was terrible.
His arms were crossed over his bare chest; hands closed into fists. Around his wrists and lower arms were large, complex cuffs. And running through each one was a tube; it vanished in each and then reappeared again at the opposite end. Going straight into the boys hands. A strange, luminescent red liquid was being pumped into the boy and the skin around the tube's entrance was not enough to cover the black veins that surrounded the area.
His torso was even worse. Scars littered the tan skin, criss crossing each other. One looked uncannily like a vivisection scar. More tubes pierced his chest and stomach. Needle indents at his shoulders and hip bones. It seemed they never ended; and Robin wasn't sure if they did. The worst of it all? He looked like he was sleeping; just sleeping and was going to wake up at any moments. But…he wasn't. His face looked too relaxed and peaceful. It was a drug induced sleep. Bandages wrapped around his shoulders and chest.
After what seemed like millennia, Super Boy spoke.
"What is that? It's, its wrong! It's just like Cadmus, just like me…" Connor fell silent as he was dragged inside his head to drown in memories of G-nomes and experimentation. It wasn't "Justice" as they called it. It was just cruel experimentation.
Connor seethed with anger, this boy, this…human? He didn't know, didn't care, this was wrong. What this boy was going through was worse than what they did to him at Cadmus. He made his decision then and there. He was getting the boy out; just like Robin and the team got him out. Stepping towards the boy he lifted his hands to the chained boy and prepared to rip the cuffs and wires, needles, and tubes away from the boy. Connor stopped at Robins shriek.
"Super Boy, no! We don't know if that's keeping him alive; if you remove them it could kill him!" Robin exclaimed.
Robin could see the hate boiling in Super Boy's eyes. He was worried, if this got out of hand, he wouldn't be able to control Connor and they all could get hurt. Where were the others? As if answering a prayer, Auqalad and Kid Flash appeared at the entrance of the semi.
Eyes wide and, in Wally's case, jaws dropped. They observed the scene before them. From the anxious bird to the angered super. To the boy in chains…
"What, has happened here?" Kaldur asked. He was worried for him team, and filled with despair for the boy he did not know—the boy in chains. The sight sickened him. Robin ran a gloved hand through his hair and started to explain to his leader. Everything from the way Super Boy was so determined to get here and how they found the semi. But most importantly—its cargo.
Kaldur did his best to keep calm and show no facial expression. Silently he walked up the ramp and into the semi bed, right towards the caged boy. When he was close enough he saw something engraved on the upper left side of the metal sphere. Narrowing his eyes he looked closer, even with the moon light it was dark and hard to see. But then he saw it clearly.
Project Ti.
Wally spoke up for the first time since he had super speeded there, "Ti, the atomic symbol for titanium!"
"Just like Project Kr. You think this is another Cadmus experiment?" Robin asked.
Super Boy growled. "Doesn't matter; we have to get him out."
No one disagreed with the angered clone, but the situation was critical. They didn't know if the red liquid was vital or not, if they unhooked the boy; would he die? They had no way of transporting the boy, this –Project Titanium. It was clear that it would take more than just Robin to hack and deactivate the machine. Something this heavily guarded had to have high levels of security. It was going to need the full attention of the Justice League.
The sun was just starting to paint the sky in pink and orange pastels when Wally said, "What if we call Megan? Or one of the JL members like Batman, he has the Batwing right? He can carry the cargo hold."
Robin couldn't believe he didn't think of it earlier. The answer was actually so simple. Grinning at his team mates he lifted his hand to his ear piece and radioed Batman.
"Batman? Yes, we found the truck but we hit some complications. We need the Batwing; it involves heavy lifting and a very critical medical state. I can't explain it; you'll have to see it yourself. Yes, we will be waiting" he said to the Dark Knight.
Now—they wait.
Guys thank you all for the reviews and everything! BUT, if you want me to UPDATE TOMORROW I need 5 REVIEWS! – AblurInTheWind.
