I just wanted to let everyone know that the reason Superboy wasn't in the first chapter was because I didn't think the team would want to risk him having a breakdown in a Cadmus facility.
Kaldur's POV
The girl wasn't wrong. Within seconds of her statement we were surrounded on all sides by genomes.
"Well," said a sinister man as he stepped forward through the sea of creatures. "It seems that our little project has gotten out of her cell."
"Who the hell are you?" shouted Robin.
"Forgive me, my name is Doctor Silias Snow. I'm in charge of our little Aura here."
"That's not my name." The girl said, shifting to stand taller on her feet.
"Well if you would tell us what it was, we could address you by that." He sneered.
I looked between the two. "Robin, how do we get out?" I asked.
"Theirs an exit through the vent above our heads. Can she make it up?" He nodded at the girl, Aura.
"I can make it." She said quietly.
"Great!" said Kid.
Robin picked up some smoke bombs and threw them on the ground. A few shots were fired, one of them grazing my arm, but by the time the smoke cleared, we had reached the front doors of the facility and were out in the fresh air.
Aura took a deep breath as stepped outside. I hadn't realized that she probably hadn't breathed fresh air in a long time.
"M'gann! Get the bioship." I shouted over my comm.
"Already on my way." She responded.
Within seconds the bioship was overhead, and I was helping Aura into a seat.
"Who is that?" I could hear M'gann whisper to Robin.
"I'm not sure," he whispered back "We found her in a cell."
"Poor thing." M'gann sighed. "She must be so scared."
Aura looked up. "Contrary to what you might think M'gann M'orzz, I feel no fear, only relief."
Kid looked like he was trying not to laugh at M'gann's shocked expression.
"You are hurt." Aura turned to me.
"Wha..Oh, I guess I am." I had completely forgotten about the graze, but now I could see that it was bleeding heavily. "It's nothing."
"Let me help." Before I could stop her she had grabbed a hold of my arm, around the wound, and a strange blue light was emitting from her hand. When she removed it 30 seconds later, the wound was gone, the only clue that it had ever been there was the blood still dripping down my arm.
"Wha..How did you?" Wally turned to ask her, only to see that the girl had fallen asleep.
I checked to make sure that her seat belt was secure, and then turned to M'gann.
"Miss Martian, contact the justice league. We may be needing their help in the future."
She nodded, and the bipship took off.
I sat there wondering who on earth this girl was, and why she was having such an effect on me.
