For the Sake of Adventure
Episode 1, Part 2
Cadmus Lab
1:18 August 12th 2011
Robin, Aqualad, and Kid Flash all stood in the dark room. It had been relatively easy for them to get through the window and Robin had quickly signaled no one was there.
"This is strange no one is guarding, if there is a possibility that this could be a Cadmus Lab." Aqualad said uneasily.
"I agree" Robin replied
"Um and isn't it a bit…well…small?" Kid Flash asked. He was looking over the room "Isn't exactly like you could perform secret cloning stuff in a room this size."
Robin looked at the blueprints to the building again "Let's see…two floors, each with two rooms. Each room is about a classroom sizes. There is one closet, which is on the top floor. A bathroom, an elevator….wait! That's it!" Robin quickly closed his wrist computer and ran to where the elevator was.
Aqualad followed him "What is so special about an elevator. I thought that in all human buildings there were such things like this?"
"But this is only a two floor building, why would you need an express elevator?" Robin said excitedly. He pushed the down arrow button and stepped back.
Nothing happened.
"Um…I think the button is broken." Kid Flash said nonchalantly.
Aqualad grinned "Step back. I can open this express elevator." Kid Flash and Robin looked at each other with doubt clear on their faces, but stepped back anyway.
Aqualad simply gripped the two sliding metal doors, and the doors slowly started to bend under his fingers. He pulled his arms apart and the two doors slid open. He looked down the elevator shaft. "Well…that is fascinating…"
Kid Flash shoved him out of the way "What is it…AHHHHHH!" Aqualad had lost his balance and knocked into Kid Flash who, naturally, fell into the shaft "OH MY DEAR AUNT SALLY!" he yelled as he tumbled down the shaft.
Robin quickly grabbed a Bat-a-rang and tossed it down to the speedster "HERE! CATCH!" he grunted when Kid Flash caught onto it and became a dead weight. "Aqualad! Help!"
Aqualad quickly took the rope out of Robin's hand and beckoned down to the shaft. "I got it. You go down onto the rope with Kid Flash now."
Robin nodded his thanks and grabbed the rope as he shimmied down to Kid Flash "Come on Kid, let's keep going down, Aqualad said he could hold us."
The two boys eventually reached the bottom, Robin landing first. He tugged the rope and soon Aqualad was down with them. "Tied the rope to the rail" Aqualad mumbled. "Let us now go" he said pointing the dark door that led out of the elevator shaft.
Robin flipped open his wrist computer and suddenly the doors clanked open. Robin winced "That was loud."
Kid Flash shrugged as he walked through the doorway "Hey! It's not like anyone heard…" he stopped midsentence, his mouth falling open.
"What is wrong?" Aqualad asked as he followed him out to see a very strange sight.
There were three hallways, the floors, ceilings, and walls all seemed to be covered in something peach-colored and looked like blue veins were covering every surface. But that wasn't the strangest.
There was a tall man standing in front of them who was glaring down at them "Who. Are. You."
Robin quickly realized who he was "Guardian!? SWEET! Dude! What are you doing down here. And what's that little thing on your shoulder." Robin was pointing to a very small, and must I say very ugly, devil-like creature. It was a disgusting yellow color, with a pair of wings and two horns and had blood red eyes.
Guardian blinked, his blue eyes darting back to the thing and the teenagers. His voice had suddenly changed "Boys! What are you doing down here? You have to get ou-…." Suddenly his eyes turned a strange black.
Aqualad looked at the demon looking creature again "Uh…friends….why are its eyes glowing?"
"INTUDERS ALERT! INTRUDERS ALERT!" Guardian suddenly was yelling. He took out his shield and slammed it into Aqualad, sending him flying backwards.
"Gaurdian?! What it going on?" Robin yelped as he did a backflip using Guardian's head, and landing behind him.
"INTRUDERS" Guardian replied. He quickly spun around and raised his shield up and slammed it on Robin's head.
Robin quickly dodged though and easily got out of the way.
Kid Flash was by Aqualad's side trying to get him conscious. "COME ON AQUALAD!" Kid Flash screeched in his ear as he slapped his face with his super speeding hands. "YOU NEED TO GET UP NOW!"
Aqualad groaned as his eyes opened slowly "What is going on?"
"Good enough." Kid Flash yanked him up on his feet "I'll be back in a flash" Kid Flash pulled his goggles over his eyes and traced heat signatures through the walls as he ran next to Robin.
Robin had just thrown a bomb disk at Guardian, which erupted, sending him flying into the nearest wall. He turned to Kid Flash who was staring intently at the wall "Errr….are you okay?"
"What?" Kid Flash replied distracted. "Oh…yeah. Just watching a bunch of guys coming down all three hallways to kill us."
"We need to get out of here NOW" Aqualad said running up to the two, fully recovered. "We will be overrun soon if what Kid Flash says is true!"
Robin looked around desperately "We can't leave! Not until we find out what Cadmus is hiding here!"
Kid Flash nodded in agreement. "Why don't we try that vault" he said pointing to a vault that no one had noticed behind them.
Aqualad groaned as he heard the back-up start to come "We best act quickly!"
"Come on! Follow me!" Robin said dashing to the vault.
"Can you open it?" Kid Flash asked looking at Robin.
"Course I can….There!" Robin stepped back as the door flew open. It was completely dark in there except for a dim light shining near the back wall.
"Hackers first" Kid Flash said, shoving Robin in. Kid Flash tripped on the ground (or rather, his feet) and landed head first into the room/vault. Aqualad followed closing the door behind them and barring it from being opened by shoving something, he assumed wood, in between the locks and handle.
"Woah…what is that?" Kid Flash said as he slowly got up, heading toward the light. "It looks like there's a person in there…." As he went closer he realized "Hey! There's a person in there!"
Robin and Aqualad followed, both having a puzzled look on their face.
"Who is he?"Aqualad asked Robin.
"I don't know. But he looks like….Superman."
The person, well the teenager in the tube-like cage, was apparently asleep. His eyes were closed. But he had jet-black hair, and broad shoulders. He looked to be like a 16 year-old Superman.
"Hey look! There are some more creepy control-freaks!" Kid Flash said pointing to above the Superman-replica's head. Three more demon-looking things, like the one on Guardian's shoulder, were sitting above the still teenager's head. Their eyes were glowing red.
"What should we do?" Kid Flash asked the other two. Suddenly there was a pounding on the door. "Uh-oh…looks like somebody wants to come in."
Aqualad made a quick decision. "Robin, we need to open that casing to get that boy out of there. He could possibly help us get out of here if he is a prisoner too!"
"Ummm….but what if he isn't a prisoner?" Kid Flash pointed out.
"Then I guess we are no worse off. Robin do it now!" Aqualad said, as another pound echoed in the room.
Robin quickly ran to the computers in front of the cage. He plugged his wrist computer into the main computer and started to rapidly type something.
Another pound echoed in the room. Yelling from outside alerted the teens that even more back-up had come, and probably a metal cutter.
"Not to rush you Robin but….CAN YOU GO ANY SLOWER!" Kid Flash yelled as the sound of slicing floated into the room.
"Almost….done!" The clear box opened up. Steam filled the room as the four bodies fell out.
Aqualad took an unsure step toward the teenager, who was still surrounded by the steam "Hello friend. I am Aqualad, we have come to save you, but we need you to…"
The boy though, titled his head up. His eyes suddenly opened. They were black.
"….intruder…..alert" he growled. He stood up, cracking his knuckles.
