Hey, hey, hey! It's really slim Kiing Deemy! -Bows- Thank you, thank you. I'll be here all week -Awkward Silence- Well don't everybody cheer at once...
So I forgot that everyone is not going to be able to view the cover image for this fic. So most probably have no clue about Lynx's appearance, I mean he could be ugly for all you know
(Lynx): Hey!
Just putting that out there honey. Back to his appearance, long story short, he's Hawt!
Haha, okay for real now. Skin color: Tan, Height: About Aqualad's but still a little ways shorter, Hair color: Sunny blonde with a little red mixed into the sides, it's also short with spikes at the the front. Three pointing upwards and the rest downwards. There's also two cat ears mixed up in there, blonde in color and cream on the inside. His face is marked with two red whisker like markings on each cheek which bleeds into his hair. Eyes: They're yellow around the pupils and light green in the irises. They're also slitted like a cat's own. Appearance: He wears a red scarf around his neck, with three tail like pendants on the front. He also wears an armhole black shirt, with skin tight pants (He still has free mobility) reaching to above his ankles. They're also black and he sports black fingerless gloves.
His name is Lynx and so is his alter ego. I'm lazy like that, and plus it really suits him
(Lynx) -/- Thank you!
Now onward to the chapter! Huzzah!
I always to do some shit like that =D
Chapter 2
Flashback
"You don't understand!". A voice screamed. A woman, she was panicked, bordering on being terrified. She was maneuvering a jeep, a phone pressed against her ear. "You have to have space! You can't keep me out, I'm in labor!". She screeched in the phone before doubling over in pain, the contractions hitting her hard. A scream ripped out her mouth then. "Y-you just have to let me in! Please!". She begged, tears clouding her vision. She gasped and dropped her phone in the seat as the jeep suddenly spiralled out of control.
"Hello? Hello?!". A voice cried from the phone. "Lucy!".
"Rick!". Was all she manage as the jeep was suddenly upturned.
'I can't move..'. She thought scared. 'I can't move! And the baby!'. It was coming! The baby was coming now! She was full out panicking now. 'Oh God, the baby..'. She was giving birth. Trapped beneath an upturned car, not the ideal setting. A scream tore through her mouth then, followed by deep heavy panting. A startled gasp escaped her as she heard another cry. Looking down between her legs, she was greeted with the sight of her newborn son. Reaching out gingerly, she took him and cradled her child in her arms.
"He's beautiful..". She whispered. He had cat ears, and they twitched ever so slightly at the slightest of movement. Her musings were cut short as she heard the distant yelps of Hyenas. They must have heard her screams during the birth. Motherly instincts kicking in, she comforted her child with soft coos and kisses. She was rewarded with a bubbly giggle for her efforts.
Her peace was shattered when the loud growls reached her ears. She jumped and turned towards the source to see five Hyenas trying to claw their way to her. 'No.. No'. They couldn't have him, not her child. Laying her child beside her obscuring him from view, she angled her body towards the Hyena's claws, sacrificing herself to protect her child. "I'm so sorry, little guy. Please grow up healthy, eat your vegetables and don't talk to girls until you get a job. Mommy loves you". She closed her eyes as she felt their claws digging into her. Clawing, chewing..
One lone Hyena's ears perked as it heard the sort gurgles of the newborn child. Poking it's head through an open space, snapping it's jaws at the child. The child could only watched in fascination at it's impending doom, giggling again. Growling, the Hyena only tried harder. It's barks changing ever so slightly, to resemble a human?
"Lynx! Lynx, wake up!".
End Flashback
"Lynx wake up!". Pleaded a voice. It sounded desperate, worried. "Please, wake up". Groggily I opened my eyes. My senses were in overdrize, it was hard to catch myself. Blinking away the grogginess, I fully opened my eyes. I wasn't prepared for a masked face looming over for me, nor the relieved smile on their face. I reacted accordingly. I.e. I freaked.
"Gah!". Sitting up quickly I headbutted him, my head spinning from the collision a little. Looking around I groaned. I remembered where we were now, Cadmus. Peering at Robin, I quickly apologized to which he just waved it away.
"It's fine. I'm just glad you're okay". He reassured getting up. Standing up, he offered me a hand helping me up. I was about to thank him but I was cut off as Robin pulled me along still holding my hand. Soon we joined the others where someone was taking on those gigantic creatures alone. 'How much did I miss?'. Why was the clone helping us? I turned to Robin for clarification.
Catching my look, he replied. "Superboy had a change of heart. He's decided to fight the good fight". He explained. I nodded my head.
"Lucky us". I answered.
"Superboy, the goal is escape, not to bury ourselves here". Aqualad shouted.
"You want escape?". He exclaimed. Taking one of the creatures, he swung it into the others creating a pathway for us.
"Show off..". I grumbled.
Nearing the elevator, Superboy quickly forced open the doors. Grabbing Aqualad he jumped up into the shaft. Robin followed suit and shot a line up into the shaft. Hesitating he turned to Kid and I, deciding which one to take. I rolled my eyes and brushed past him, jumping inside and scaling the walls easily.
Looking up after me, Robin sighed and grabs Kid swinging up inside. All too soon everything went to hell as Superboy started descending rapidly. Reacting quickly Robin threw a batarang lodging it into the wall. I watched as Aqualad grabbed unto it stopping their fall.
"Superman can fly. Why can't I fly?". He asked disheartened.
"Don't know, but it looks like you can leap tall buildings in a single bound. Still cool". Kid Flash tried.
"Thank you". Superboy whispered to Aqualad.
"Elevator!". I shouted. Hate to ruin this moment, but we need to move now. Climbing up, I pulled at them to get a move on or be squished.
"Guys, this will have to be our exit". Robin said gesturing towards the open doors. Moving quickly we jumped through just narrowly missing the incoming elevator. I breathed a sigh relief, I doubt my nine lives could bring me back from that. Looking up, I could hear the shuffle of feet coming our way.
"Peoples, those things are closing in us". Getting up, we quickly ran off down the corridor.
"Go left! Left!". Exclaimed Superboy suddenly. All at once we quickly followed his directions, turning left sharply. "Right!". He directed us again. Following his directions, we turned right only end up in a deadend.
Frustrated, I started clawing at the wall. My claws making deep scratches. "Fish butt!". I shouted.
"Great directions, Supey". Kid said also frustrated. "You trying to get us repodded?". He accused. He had a point, but I didn't want to judge anyone. Even if said person rammed me into a wall.
"No. I don't understand". Superboy thought dejectedly. I walked over and rested my hand on his shoulder. I could get past that little fight, I hope. I'm not cold hearted or anything.
"Chin up. You were just trying to help". I offered. He only looked at me quizzically before smiling a small smile. I could only wonder what I said that warranted such a look. I missed the sour look Robin threw our way then.
"Don't apologize". I turned away from Superboy, focusing my attention back on Robin. "This is perfect!". He finishes before gesturing towards the air vents.
'Great...'. I thought.

Grab
"Ack! That's not my leg!". I kicked out at Kid Flash. "That's the third time now!". I yelled at him. What is with him?!
"S-sorry!". He pulled back his hand, his face taking on a crimson hue, again. I glowered at him and continued. I didn't notice when Robin elbowed him. "At this rate, we'll never get out". He grumbled rubbing his sides. Suddenly my ears twitched. Something was coming.
"Shh. Listen". Hearing it from Superboy only pushed me to crawl faster. It kinda felt like I was hunting back home...
Flashback
Rustle.
"Back straight, stick low to the ground". A voice commanded. "Low, Lynx. Like a mating position!". The voice explained. Quickly I shot up, embarrassed.
"Mom!". I cried! My ears drooping in embarrassment. I was not ready to hear this, not at all.
"Oh, hush now". She growled. She was a tawny cat, big for her age. She was the head hunter in the pride, she was also in her prime. "Sooner or later, my boy. You're going to have to mate". I scrunched my nose in disgust. Seeing my look, she huffed and swiped a paw at me.
Quickly understanding, I rolled onto my back and also swiped at her playfully. It wasn't long till she was upon me and we were rolling around, laughing. All plans of learning to hunt gone.
End Flashback
"Still plently of them between us and out". Robin said getting up.
Pulling down his goggles Kid Flash replied. "But I've finally got room to move". Stepping forward, I threw a smirk his way.
"Race?". I challenged. He grinned back and we shot off, two blurs speeding our way through the area and knocking out creatures in our path. I could see ahead for miles, luckily. Noticing the closing doors I realized we would't make it in time. "Kid! Wait! The door-". I tried to warn slowing up.
He laughed. "It's not going to be that easy!". He called back. I could only wince as I saw him face plant into the door.
"Ouch..". I ran over to him. "You okay". He only groaned in reply. I looked up as the others approached us. Aqualad walking over to the door and Robin immediately trying to hack it.
"We're cut off from the street". Aqualad stated.
"Thanks. My head hadn't noticed". He grumbled annoyed. I tensed as I heard the creatures approaching. They were gaining on us.
"They're closing in on us guys". I warned. Robin quickly got up forgetting about the door.
"Can't hack this fast enough. This way". He directed down another corridor. Meeting the end we all fell over after getting whammied by the genomorphs waiting ahead for us.
"Fish butt...". I mumbled before slumping over.
It felt like hours before I finally came to. Getting up, I noticed the others awakening also and Superboy declaring something to one of those creatures. 'Whatever that was about..'.
"Feels like fog lifting". I heard behind me. Taking a look back I saw Guardian holding his head and mumbling something. I ignored him, he was hardly worth the kill now.
"Guardian". Aqualad asked. Standing up, I scratched behind my ears offhandedly. 'Is it finally over?'. I thought.
"Go. I'll deal with Desmond". Guardian answered. 'Looks like it..'.
"I think not". The scientist man said stepping forward. "Project Blockbuster will give me the power to restore order to Cadmus". He finished before downing the vial in his hand. The change was instantaneous, rapidly deforming the once human male into a hideous beast.
"Holy buffalo..". I breathed. Not even my whole pride would be enough to bring down this beast. I watched as Guardian charged forward.
"Everyone back!". He ordered. He was brave, but no match for that thing. "Aah!" He cried as he was smacked aside. My claws instantly lengthen, readying for battle. His efforts no matter how small, still counted.
I paused in attacking as I saw Superboy charged in, tackling him head on. Trading blows with the creature without letting up. 'He reminds me of my brother..'. Only when I watched them go through the ceiling did I react. 'Nah'. I thought. 'This is just beginning'. I vaguely heard Robin say something but I paid no mind. Superboy needed help, and already I was up and out the hole closing in on the creature and Superboy still trading blows.
Not wasting anymore time, I sprang forward landing on his chest and clawing at his neck. 'I could kill him, right?'. But I was only met with resistance, his neck was so thick. I barely had time to brace myself as I was thrown off him. Twisting my body, I landed safely on the floor my claws raking up a bit of it. I looked up as Superboy was tossed in my direction, quickly I crouched lower avoiding the collision. The grunt of pain made me look back to see he had crashed into Aqualad and the others were helping them up. They nodded at me and both KF and I raced forward, he slipping between the creature's legs and me clawing at his face leaving deep claws marks before flipping over behind him for the next assault. I watched as Aqualad and Superboy connected a staggering punch and KF tripped him up.
"Learned that one in Kindergarten". He boasted. Not missing a beat, Robin leaped over him throwing a few birdarang at the creature but they only got swatted away in long after the beast was up and attacking Superboy with Aqualad providing assistance. He dispatched the two quickly and that's when I pounced from the shadows, raking my claws across his chest making him yowl. He punched out at me in rage and I swiftly jumped over it and him, then brought down my leg for an axe kick delivering it at the of his head. He staggered forward disoriented, and I used that time to help up Aqualad. I didn't notice when the creature swung KF into us, only felt it.
"Oomph!". I grunted as my body hit the floor. Sitting up, I rubbed my head scowling. "Cheap shot". I blinked when a hand was shot into my face, and I looked up to see it was Robin. Grabbing it, he pulled me up.
"KF, get over here!". He shouted after helping me up. When KF made it over, he explained his plan to us in full detail. I was only a little impressed. Really. "Got it?". He asked after explaining.
"Got it". We said in unison. We spared a brief glance at each other.
"Go!". He shouted. Needing no more prompting, KF and I quickly set off to our tasks. Positioning ourselves, KF striked from the left and I the right. I looked at my hand curiously afterwards.
"Got your nose". KF taunted. I blinked.
"Got your hair". I taunted also. I couldn't help it. Disgruntled, the creature dropped Superboy and looked between us, deciding which one to break. He chose Kid and was gaining on him fast. Sprinting off, I reached KF before he got squished and jumped foward, pushing him out of the way. Not wanting to be squished myself I lifted both my feet to block his incoming punch. 'Bull shark...'. I grunted at the force. At the corner of my eyes I could see Superboy and Aqualad destroying the pillars. Relieved, I pushed back and back flipped away from his next attack. Not letting up, I jumped up and using him as a springboard launched myself across the room. By the time he turned, I was clear out of his range. I blew him a raspberry, taunting him even further.
In a rage he charged for me completey disregarding the puddle of water beneath him until Superboy blindsided him with a punch knocking him down. Struggling to get up, Aqualad launched his next attack sending currents of electricity through the puddle and causing the beast to yowl in pain at the onslaught.
"Move!". Robin yelled, grabbing my hand and running off as his expertly placed birdarangs went off causing the building to cave in.
...
"I'm dead aren't I...". Someone laughed. Guess not
I looked up as Aqualad and Superboy pushed away the debris. I watched as Superboy turned around and helped me up. "You alright?".
I huffed. "I may not be as invulnerable as you but I'm just strong... But thanks". I maybe proud but I was raised with manners.
"We did it". Panted Aqualad, sounding surprised.
"Your tone worries me Aqualad". I said dusting my hair. All that rubble..
He looked back and smirked. "Was there ever any doubt?". Said a voice drawing my attention. I watched as the two high fived each other before wincing. I laughed. Finally, it was over.
"See? The moon". Said KF standing besides Superboy. It was peaceful until a human figure appeared by the moon. "Oh. And Superman". I immediately halted in scratching my ears. "Do we keep our promises or what?". Soon enough most of the League were in front us.
"Bull shark...". I mumbled.
"Is that what I think it is?". Batman
"He doesn't like being called an it". I easily spotted Mari and she didn't look too pleased.
"Bull shark...". I mumbled defeated.
"I'm Superman's clone". Superboy declared, showing the 'S' shield on his shirt. Shocked gasps ran out through the Leaguers then. I saw Mari threw me a shocked look as if asking for confirmation. I only looked away.
Stepping forward, Batman ordered. "Start Talking".
Scene Break
I could hear them talking. Superman mostly. I had no intentions to but I couldn't very well shut down my ears. It was hard enough to listen to. I didn't say anything when he walked over and stood beside me, it wasn't my place. But I did bump shoulders with him, which seemed to be enough as he relaxed slightly. Now we had to face Batman... It was going to be hard but I knew we would survive. I was a fool.
He started. "Cadmus will be investigated, all 52 levels, but let's make one thing clear".
"You should have called". Flash interrupted.
"Do you know how worried I- We were!". Vixen joined in her gaze directed on me. My ears skirted back in response.
"End results aside, we are not happy". Batman continued. "You hacked Justice League systems, disobeyed direct orders, and endangered lives. You will not be doing this again". He stated. It wasn't up for debate just like time.
"I am sorry, but we will". Aqualad said stepping forward.
'Aqualad..'. I stared on, stunned.
"Aqualad, stand down". Warned his mentor.
Aqualad just pressed on. "Apologies, my King, but no". I saw Aquaman's eyes widen. "We did good work here tonight, the work you trained us to do. Together on our own we forged something powerful, important".
"Yeah". I stepped forward agreeing. "What he said". Vixen immediately threw me a glare and I hid behind Aqualad a little. "We stopped Cadmus before they could try anything".
"If this is about your treatment at the hall, the 4 of you-".
"The 5 of us" Kid interrupted. "And it's not".
"Batman, we're ready to use what you taught us, or why teach us at all?". Robin asked.
"Sooner or later, you had to know this was going to happen". His gaze shifted and my ears were now plastered to my head but I didn't give up. "You are the Batman".
"Why let them tell us what to do?". Asked Superboy stepping forward beside me. "It's simple. Get on board or get out of the way".
Scene Break
"This cave was the original secret sanctuary of the Justice League. We're calling it into service once again. Since you 5 are determimed to stay together and fight the good fight, you'll do it on League terms. Red Tornado volunteered to live here and be your supervisor. Black Canary's in charge of training. I will deploy you on missions". Batman explained. My mind was still reeling with the information.
"Real missions?". Robin questioned.
"Yes, but covert". Batman answered.
"The League will still handle the obvious stuff". Flash continued. "There's a reason we have these big targets on our chests". He said gesturing to said insignia. My eyes travelled to Vixen, asking. She only shook her head and scrunched up her nose. Right, it didn't go with her look.
"But Cadmus proves the bad guys are getting smarter". Aquaman stepped in. "Batman needs a team that can operate on the sly".
"The 6 of you will be that team".
"Cool". Said Robin. "Wait. 6?".
"Come again?". I asked. I turned around to see Martian Manhunter walking in with a miniature girl version of himself. "Didn't see that coming..".
"This is the Martian Manhunter's niece Miss Martian". Batman introduced.
"Hi". She waved shyly.
'Cute'. I thought.
"Liking this gig more every minute". Kid Flash said before racing towards her. "Welcome aboard. I'm Kid Flash". He wiggled his brows suggestively. "That's Robin, Lynx and Aqualad. It's cool if you forget their names".
"I'm honored to be included". She smiled. I walked over, scrutinizing her.
"You're green..". I murmurred. She blushed. Funny... What did I say?
"Y-yes". She looked down.
"Cool".
She then looks up surprised before smiling.
"Hey, Superboy. Come meet Miss M". Said Robin. I looked back to see him walk over then forward noticing her shirt changing color.
"Whoa..". I breathed leaning forward. "I've never seen magic before".
She giggled before turning to Superboy. "I like your t-shirt". She smiled.
Aqualad smiled then "Today's the day".
To be continued. . .
Finally! I am done! Just read and review -Passes Out-
