Robin grinned as Kaldur lay sprawled out across the ground. The two had gone back to back rounds for the past 45 minutes.

"You never cease to amaze, my friend." Kaldur panted.

"Thanks Aqualad, going a few a rounds with you always gets the blood going." Robin commented as he wiped the almost non-existent sweat from his brow, before offering his hand to Kaldur.

"Recognized, Batman 02." The computerized female voice announced. Robin turn to his mentor, within seconds, he knew something was wrong. He saw what he could only guess was sympathy pass across his mentor's face as he walked to the center of the ring. As he did, everyone quickly gather around as Batman brought up a photo, the moment Robin recognized her, he knew he wasn't going to like this mission.

"This is Cybersix, a genetically enhanced human, created during the Cyber Projects." Batman explained.

"What's the Cyber Project?" asked M'Gann innocently.

"Irrelevant, all you need to know is, she will be your contact in Meridiana, you are to follow her orders to a T and we have been recruiting her to the JLA for the past 5 years so it would be extremely helpful if you did not deter her from wanting to join." A heavy silence rung out until Kaldur spoke.

"The mission?" Robin watch as Batman brought up a second photo, he continually chanted "Please don't be her" so many times M'Gann picked up on it. She felt so much pain when the second hologram appeared. M'Gann looked to the picture. This time it was a girl around the same age a Robin, her native tan skin contrasted drastically with her memorizing eyes, though her eyes were only just visible through her bangs that lay across her face and become part of the braid that lay over her right shoulder.

"Her name is Nexus, but after she was adopted by Lucas Amato, she took on the human persona of Spencer Amato." Robin inwardly sighed. Though the girl had shown very little emotion when they had spent time together over 5 years ago (had it really been that long?), he had called her spaz sarcastically but after calling her it several times it had been almost a comfort to her. Lucas would never let her call herself that some he must have agreed to Spencer.

"What's with her eyes?" Wally blurted, snapped Robin from his thoughts.

"She was one of the last successful experiments of the Cyber Project, as put by the creator, Dr. Von Reichter. Her eyes were an unknown side effect of an ability she possess call the Grasping eye. She can see the future and she is somehow able to astral project her spirit through water and glass. She is extremely gifted, another unknown development is her empathy abilities, yet she herself has a hard expressing herself. Due to this imbalance in her biochemical make up, her eyes take on this strange look."

"In English?" Wally asked his best friend, Robin. When no answer came from his mouth not even a sarcastic answer another awkward silence rang out. Batman cleared his throat bring the Team's attention to him.

"Everyone, prepare for departure, Cybersix is expecting you all in Meridiana at 0'100."

The group sat once again in an awkward silence as the bioship cruised through the air. It was mostly due to no one really knowing what to say. It was extremely apparent that Robin was distorting over what he had heard. Even more obvious that he somehow knew the girl, but no one was too sure if they should ask. Finally Miss Martian who could no longer standing knowing what she knew spoke.

"Robin, I'm sorry but when Batman was telling us our mission, I sort of overheard your thoughts. I wasn't trying to but you felt so much pain it was oozing off of you no matter how hard I tried, I couldn't not hear you. I'm really sorry." Robin let out a sigh as he turned to the group.

"About 5 years ago, Bats and I were requested to track down someone. At the time we had been hired to track down Cybersix by someone named Jose. He told us she was dangerous, not that Batman believed him for a second. Jose had assigned Nexus to us as a lesion and to watch us in case of funny business. To make a long story short, Nexus realized what she was doing was wrong and told us the story behind Jose and Cybersix. We finally met her on good terms and with Nexus, Data-7 and Cybersix's help we stopped Jose plan." Robin smiled to himself as he thought back to Jose's swearing revengce on them but the smile quickly faded when he remembered why they were going to Meridiana.

"They seem like good friends." Said Aqualad.

"Almost family."

"How come you never told me Rob?" Kid Flash asked slightly hurt. Robin looked to KF and flashed his impish smile.

"Sorry KF, Batman's orders. Since Cybersix hadn't actually said yes to joining the league she requested no one know of them until if and when she decided to join the JLA. I think part of the reason she didn't want to join is because she knew Nexus with be able to join until much farther down the road." With the explaination finally out everyone seemed a little more at ease with the mission.

"So, she's genetically enhanced? Does that mean she's sort of like a clone?" Superboy asked awkwardly. Robin turned noticing the slight hope in his eyes.

"I guess sort of unlike Cybersix herself, Nexus was what scientist like to call a Test tube baby, meaning the genes of two people were put together to create her but her parents probably were never together. In a way she's kind of like you." A ghost of a smile appeared on Superboy's face.

"So do you have a guess of who might have taken her?" Artemis questioned. This was the question Robin had been waiting for. Indeed he did have a pretty good guess of who had her, but he prayed with every fiber that he was wrong mostly due to the fact he had been looking into Jose in recent days, the boy was involved in the black market mostly dealing with jewels and painting but he had found in his digging that once a month villians from all over came together for a auction he put on with "unique objects" he feared Spencer might be next on that list.

"I do, but I really hope I'm wrong otherwise will be seriously not traught."
