Chapter 2:This is Not a Playdate Part 2
No POV
'Time runs short. You must awaken. You must awaken…NOW!
Kid Flash, Robin, Aqualad and Chikara woke up inside pods with their hands restrained above their heads. Weirdest thing is Superboy was in front of the pods just staring at them.
"What? What do you want?" Kid Flash shouted.
Superboy stared at all of them, but he stared longest at Chikara.
"Quit staring baka!" Chikara spat at him trying to get free.
"Yeah, you're creeping us out!" Kid Flash said.
"Hey KF, why don't we try not to tick off the guy that can fry us with a look?" Robin retorted.
"We only sought to help you." Aqualad said.
"Yeah we free you and you turn on us! How's that for gratitude?" Kids Flash said.
"Kid, be quiet now. I believe that our new friend was not in full control of his actions." said Aqualad.
"What-what if I wasn't?" Superboy asked.
"He can talk?" Kid Flash shouted.
Superboy clenched his fist. "Yes, he can."
"Baka." Chikara said.
Robin, Aqualad and Chikara all gave Kid Flash a look.
"Not like I said 'it'"
"The genomorphs taught you, telepathically." Aqualad said
"They taught me much. I can read, write and I know the names of things."
"But have you seen them? Have you ever seen the sky or the sun?" Robin asked
"Images are implated in my mind…but no. I have not seen them."
"Do you know what you are? Who you are?" Aqualad asked.
"I am the Superboy. A genomorph. A clone made from the DNA of the Superman. Created to replace him should he perish, To destroy him should he turn from the light."
"To be like Superman is a worthy aspiration. But like Superman you have a life of your own, beyond that solar suit, beyond your pod, beyond Cadmus." Aqualad said.
"I LIVE BECAUSE OF CADMUS!" Superboy shouted. "IT IS MY HOME!"
"Your home is a test tube." Robin said. "We can show you the sun."
"I'm pretty sure it's after midnight, but we can show you the moon." Kid Flash said.
"We can show you, introduce you to Superman." Aqualad said.
Superboy seemed deep in thought about it.
"No they can't." A brown haired man, the woman that Kid Flash tripped and Guardian entered the room. Each with a genomorph on their shoulder.
"They'll be otherwise occupied. Activate the cloning process."
"Pass, Batcave's crowded enough." Robin said.
"And get the weapon back in it's pod!" Desmond ordered. Guardian nodded and went over to Superboy.
"Hey! How come he get's to call Supey an 'it'?" Kid Flash asked.
"Help us." Aqualad said.
Superboy shook off Guardians hand from his shoulder.
"Don't start thinking now!" Desmond said. A genomorph jumped onto Superboys shoulder and it's horns started glowing. "See, you're not a real boy, you're a weapon and you belong to me! Well, to Cadmus, same thing!" Now get back to your pod!" Superboy then turned and left without another word.
"Soidomo ichizoku wa, kono tame ni anata no atama o motsu koto ni narimasu!" Chikara spat.
Desmond ignored her and looked over to the woman at a computer terminal, who nodded. "The cloning sequence is ready, sir."
"Good. Why don't we start with little miss loud mouth."
Two robotic arms with four needles appeared in Chikaras pod and pierced her chest. The contact caused an electric shock to pulse through her body . She cried out as the needles started to draw blood from her, but that cry soon turned into the roar of a tiger as her form stated shifting.
After a couple of minutes the same robotic arms appeared in Aqualad, Kid Flash and Robins pod and began drawing blood from them the same way as Chikaras. They all cried out in pain but Aqualad looked like he was talking to someone.
'Superboy, you live, that gives you the right to follow your own path. A weapon or a person. But ask yourself, what would Superman do?'
All of a sudden Superboy pried the doors open making the needles that were drawing their blood to stop.
"I told you to go back to your-" Desmond didn't get a chance to finish as he Dubbilex and Guardian tried to grab him, but they were all easily pushed aside.
"Don't give me orders."
"You here to help us or fry us?" Kid Flash asked him.
Superboy narrowed his eyes. "Huh…I don't seem to have heat vision so I guess helping is my only option."
Robins restraints suddenly came loose. "Ugh, finally! Lucky Batman isn't here. He'd have my head for taking so long."
"Seriously, that's what you're worried about?" Kid Flash asked. "THE WHOLE LEAGUE WILL HAVE OUR HEADS AFTER TONIGHT!"
Robin went over to a computer terminal and a button then the rest of the capsules opened.
"You free Aqualad and Kid Mouth. I'll get Neko."Robin said.
"Don't you give me orders either" Superboy replied. He then jumped over to Aqualad and Kid Flash and ripped of their restraints.
'Chikara-sama! Wake up!' Tora shouted through their mind link. Chikaras eyes were closed and she was breathing heavily. 'That forced merge must've wiped her out…' Chikaras eyes snapped open when Robin started picking at the lock on her restraints.
"What happened?" Chikara asked when Robin freed one of her hands.
"My question is what happened to you?" Robin replied. Chikara now had a tiger tail, tiger ears, green slit eyes, fangs and her clothes were ripped in some places.
"Never mind. Let's just get out of here…" Chikara replied changing back. "I'll explain later." Once Robin had gotten her other hand free Chikara jumped out and they all raced out of the room.
"You'll never get out of here! I'll have you back in pods by morning!" Desmond shouted at the 5 teens.
"That guy is not whelmed, not whelmed at all." Robin said as he threw four projectiles at the containers holding their blood. They exploded on impact.
"What is it with you and this 'whelmed' thing?" Kid Flash asked as they raced after the others.
"We are still 42 levels blow ground, if we can make the elevator-" Aqualad was cut off as they saw a herd of genomorphs standing between them and their only way out. Behind them genomorphs started hatching from eggs on the walls.
"Now that is just sick!" Chikara shouted. One of the large genomorphs slammed their fists on the ground, but everyone managed to avoid it and ran towards the elevator. Superboy however started fighting them.
"Superboy! The goal is to escape! Not bury ourselves here!" Aqualad shouted.
"YOU WANT ESCAPE!" Superboy yelled. He then grabbed a giant genomorph and threw it at another two, knocking them back.
Aqualad pried the elevator doors open. Robin shot a cable up the shaft while Kid Flash just jumped to a ledge nearby and Chikara threw a shuriken from her gauntlet.
Superboy grabbed Aqualad and started to fly up the elevator but after a couple of seconds they started falling.
"I'm…falling?"
Robin threw a projectile at the wall near where they were and Aqualad grabbed onto it.
"Superman can fly…why can't I fly?"
"Don't know. But it looks like you can leap tall buildings in a single bound. Still cool." Kid Flash said before helping them down.
"Thank you."
Suddenly an elevator started descending on top of them.
"Guys! This'll have to be our exit!" Robin shouted.
Aqualad and Superboy managed to get the elevator doors open and get all of them out before the elevator came thundering pat began running down the hallway as genomorphs started chasing them.
'Turn left brother…' A voice said in Superboys head.
"Go left! Left!" He shouted.
'Turn right…'
"Right!" When they turned right they only ran into a wall with an air vent.
"Great directions Supey! Are you trying to get us repodded?" Kid Flash shouted.
"No…I don't understand." Superboy said sadly.
"Don't aplogize, this is perfect!" Robin shouted. He then ripped off the grate from the vent and crawled in.
"Guys…I don't know about this…" Chikara said softly.
"Do you want to get caught?" Kid Flash asked her. Chikara uneasily got in after Superboy
"At this rate, we'll never get out!" Kid Flash shouted.
"Shhh! Listen." Superboy whispered.
"Genomorphs. They're in the vents. I can sense them close by. Let's get out of here." Chikara said.
They reached an opening into an empty hallway after a couple of they all got out Robin started hacking again. After a couple of seconds he turned the others smiling.
"I hacked the motions sensors." He stated.
"Sweet!" Kid Flash said.
"Still plenty of them between us and out." Robin replied.
"But, I finally got room to move!" Kid Flash said while putting on his googles and ran up the stairway pushing aside genomorphs as he went along.
Chikara freed Tora from the animal charm. "Tora! Time to morph!" Chikara shouted as she got onto her back. Tora then morphed into a cheetah and ran up the stairs with Chikara hacking at genomorphs with her katana while the other followed. Chikara had caught up to Kid Flash when he had burst through the door at the top of the stairwell into a hallway. All of a sudden red lights started flashing, alarm started sounding and a door started closing in front of them.
"Oh crud…" They both said crashing into the door.
"We're cut off from the street." Aqualad said when they caught up.
"Thanks. My head hadn't noticed." Kid Flash said.
"That burns…"Chikara said while holding her head in her hands.
Superboy and Aqualad tried to open the door but it wouldn't budge.
"Can' t hack this fast enough!" Robin shouted. He turned around to see a herd of genomorphs coming towards them.
"This way!" Chikara said kicking down a door. But it only lead to another herd of genomorphs led by Guardian. The other herd started coming up from behind them so everyone got ready to battle. All of a sudden all of the genomorphs horns started glowing causing everyone to lose consciousness. Everyone except Superboy.
'Perhaps for the sake of all genomorphs, our brother Superboy should make up his own mind.'
Superboys eyes snapped open. 'It was you…'
'Yes brother. I set the fire that lured your new friends down into Cadmus. Woke them when they were in danger…'
'…and guided me. Why?' Thought Superboy.
'Because you are our hope. The genomorph hero. You will blaze a trail for all our brothers. Showing us the way to freedom.'
The genomorph on guardians shoulder jumped off and ran off somewhere else. "What's going on?" Everyone started waking up by this time.
'What is your choice brother?'
"I…choose…freedom." Superboy said.
"Feels…like fog…lifting…" Guardian said.
"Guardian?" Aqualad asked.
"Go. I'll deal with Desmond." Guardian said thinking clearly now.
"I think not. Project Blockbuster will give me the power to restore order to Cadmus." Desmond said while holding up a test tube containing a light blue liquid. He drank it and his body started changing into a rock like substance. All of his clothes started ripping, except his pants, away from his body as it grew larger and larger.
"Everyone get back!" Guardian shouted. He then moved to attack but he was easily pushed aside. Superboy tried to punch him next and landed a couple of hits before he was thrown aside. He then tried to jump on top of him but Blockbuster tackled him through the celing to the next floor.
"Well, that's one way to bust through the celing." Robin said firing his cable.
"You think lab coat planned that?" Kid Flash asked while he grabbed on to Robin.
"I doubt he's planning anything anymore." Aqualad said.
"I think he's gone mental." Chikara said while jumping through the hole with Tora in her arms.
Once they were all through, Blockbuster threw Superboy at Aqualad sending them both flying back. Robin, Kid Flash and Chikara ran back to see if they were okay.
Kid Flash ran up to Blockbuster and slid beneath him between his legs. As soon as Blockbuster turned back toward the others Superbay and Aqualad punched him. Kid Flash knelt behind him so he tripped over him.
"Learned that one in kindergarten." He said.
Robin and Chikara jumped over him and they both threw two projectile at Blockbuster, but he just blocked them his arm.
Chikara then tried to help Superboy and Aqualad but was easily pushed aside. Blockbuster then proceded to punch Aqualad into a pillar making it break, causing the ciling to crumble slightly.
"Of course." Robin brought up his holographic computer that showed a diagram of the building they were in. "KF, get over here!"
Kid Flash managed to get and get over to Robin.
Robin then explained the plan to Kid Flash
"Got it?" Robin asked.
"Got it." Kid Flash answered.
"Go."
Kid Flash ran over and punched Blockbuster, drawing his attention away from Superboy, Aqualad and Chikara.
"Got your nose." He yelled at it.
"Superboy, Aqualad, Neko!" Robin shouted showing them the plan.
"Come and get me you incredible bulk!" Kid Flash yelled while luring Blockbuster to break another pillar.
"This one and that one." Robin yelled. Superboy, Aqualad and Chikara took down the remaining pillars while Robin drew an X in the middle of the room. Aqualad then coated the floor with water. Superboy and Chikara knocked him down. Then Aqualad used the water as a conducter and electrocuted Blockbuster.
"Move!" Robin yelled just before the building started collapsing on top of them. Aqulad and Superboy quickly covered up Robin, Kid Flash, Chikara and Tora.
When the debris settled Superboy lifted a big chunk of concrete off of them. Everyone only had minor scatches and rips in their clothes.
"We…did it." Aqualad said.
"Was there…ever any doubt?" Robin asked. He and Kid Flash high-fived before grabbing their chests in pain.
"That...was...amazing." Chikara said.
Superboy walked over to Blockbuster.
"See?" Superboy turned toward Kid Flash. "The moon"
Superboy looked up at the moon and squinted. A man in red and blue flew toward them and started to land.
"Oh, and Superman. Do we keep our promises or what?" Kid Flash asked. Other members of the league surrounded the 5 teens.
'Please don't show up! Please don't show up!' Chikara thought.
As if on cue her father showed up on a platform formed by a green lantern with Batman, Black Canary, Green Arrow and Aquaman.
Superboy walked up to Superman and showed him the red S on his chest causing Supermans eyes to widened. Superboy smiled but it faded when Supermans face turned serious again.
"Is that what I think it is?" Batman asked
"He doesn't like being called an 'it'" Kid Flash whispered.
"I'm Supermans clone." Super boy declared making the rest of the heroes look at each other in shock.
Batman then glared at them. "Start talking."
While the teens explained what had happened some of the other heroes had taken the Blockbuster away.
Superboy sadly looked at Superman who was talking with Wonder Woman and Martian Manhunter.
Superman walked over to Superboy. "We'll, uh, figure something out for you. The league, will I mean. For now, I, uh, better make sure they get that Blockbuster creature squared away." Then he just flew off.
Batman, Flash, Aquaman and Whitewolf walked up to the five of them. "Cadmus will be investigated. All 52 levels. But let's make on thing clear." Batman said.
"You should've called." Flash interrupted.
"End results aside. We are not happy. You hacked justice league sustems, disobeyed direct orders and endangered lives-" Batman said but Whitewolf interjected.
"-You hacked into my database, snuck out of the house, and raided the armory. You will not do this again, Chikara."
"I'm not as helpless as you think I am father. I can take care of myself." Chikara growled. Aqualad came up and put a hand on her shoulder.
I'm sorry, but we will." Aqualad declared.
"Aqualad, stand down." Aquaman commanded
"Apologies my king, but no. We did good work here tonight. The work you trained us to do. Together, on our own we forged something powerful, important." Aqualad said.
"If this is about your treatment at the hall, the three of you-"Flash started to say.
"The five of us." Kid Flash said. "And it's not."
"Batman, we're ready to use what you taught us, or why teach us at all?" Robin said.
"Robin is right father, You trained me…and Tora to fight for ourselves. Why teach me anything if… you're going to keep me hidden from the world?" Chikara said.
"Why let them tell us what to do?" Superboy asked. "It's simple, get on board, or get out of the way."
"This cave was the original secret sanctuary for the Justice League. We're calling it into service again since you five are determined to stay together and fight the good fight, you'll do it on league terms." Batman said. "Red Tornado voluntered to live here and be your supervisor. Black Canary's in charge of training. I will deploy you on missions."
"Real missions?" Robin asked.
"Yes , but covert." Batman replied.
"The league will still handle the obvious stuff. There's a reason we have these big targets on our chests." Flash said while pointing to the lightning bolt on his chest.
"But Cadmus proves the bad guys are getting smarter." Aquaman said. "Batman needs a team that can operate on the sly.
"The six of you will be that team." Batman said.
"Cool…wait six?" Robin asked.
Everyone turned around to see Martian Manhunter with a teenage girl with almost the same appearance as him.
"This is the Martian Manhunters neice, Miss Martian."
"Hi," She waved.
"Liking this gig more every minute." Kid Flash said to Robin. "Welcome aboard. I'm Kid Flash, that's Robin, Aqualad, Kasai Neko. It's cool if you forget their names."
"I'm honored to be included." She said.
Everyone walked over to introduce themselves, everyone except Superboy.
"Hey Superboy! Come meet Miss M." Robin said.
When he got over, Miss Martians shirt turned red and black like his.
"I like your T-shirt."
Superboy smiled before Robin elbowed him in the ribs and smiled at him.
"Today is the day." Aqualad said.
Tora then jumped out of Chikaras arms and started prancing around at their feet. "Look's like Tora likes you already."
"Chikara-sama this is so exciting! This is gonna be so much fun!" Tora said while Robin, Aqualad, Kid Flash and Superbor stared in shock.
"It can talk?" Kid Flash shouted.
"I'm a girl! And yes, I can talk." Tora yelled up at him.
"Huh? Couldn't you hear her?" Chikara asked.
"No." Robin replied.
"Hmm... Oh well. What's done is done." Chikara said while picking her up. "Besides, how could you say 'no' to her?"
"I think she's cute." Miss Martian said while petting her head.
"Cute? I'm not cute! I'm fierce!" Tora shouted trying to look scary while everyone just laughed.
okay so this was the second chapted and here is the translation of one of the things Chikara said:
Soidomo ichizoku wa, kono tame ni anata no atama o motsu koto ni narimasu-The Soidomo clan will have your head for this
Again I used google translate.
So I edited the first and second chapter noticing I missed a couple of details. Chapter 3 is coming up pretty soon so look out for that.
