Chapter 3 and still no reviews, that's bloody frustrating -_-
But! For those who are reading, here's chapter 3 (And Review!)
Chapter 3
"Help!". I looked up to find two scientists waving their hands frantically in distress to the few firemen below."Get us down!". The other one called out.
"Stay put. We will get you down". The fireman called back to the distressing after he said this a huge explosion rang out sending the scientist screaming through the window, before a yellow and red blur streaked past and raced up the building catching the screaming men and hauling them unto the roof. Right after his foot lost traction against the wall and he went fumbling down barely latching unto the window-sill before he went splat.
"It's what's his name-Flash boy!". The fireman shouted in admiration. He pointed at the teen dangling helplessly out the window. "It's Kid Flash! Why is that so hard?". Wally grumbled.
"Do you need a hand?". I asked floating beside Wally.I out stretched my hand and hauled him through the window. "Must he always run ahead?". Aqua-lad asked.
"Only when there's someone to impress". Robin shrugged.
"We need a -Robin?". Aqua-lad couldn't help but look around stupidly, he was just here! "Ha ha ha!". Aqua-lad blinked and looked up to see the Boy Wonder swinging into the building.
"What exactly are we searching for?". I asked lifting the bookcase aside to search for the whatever we're looking for. "Appreciate the help". I looked back to find Aqua-lad frowning at Robin. 'Ah hell'.
"You handled , we're here to justice, remember?". Robin replied off-handedly. I couldn't help but sigh as I watched Aqua-lad stalk away. I quickly followed after 'He was the nicest to me'. "Aqua-lad?". I paused when he looked at me, "Sorry I-"
"It is fine". He cut me off a smile and couldn't help the little smile that wormed it's way to my face. He was so easy to talk to! I furrowed my brows at the red tint on his face. 'Is it hot in here?'. "Kaldur, are you o-".

I immediately whipped out my lasso, it illuminating the dark corridor with it's blue hue. (A/N Lasso of Peace, made from Aphrodite's hair and Maxs' birthday gift. Able to calm a raging God, illusion casting/dispelling, unbreakable etc) I blinked seeing a brief glimpse of a horned figure before the elevator doors closed. "Did you see that?".
"I did". He said as Kid Flash and Robin ran into the corridor. "There was something in the-".
"Elevators should be lock down". Kid Flash interrupted. After that Robin ran forward with his Holo com on display. "This is wrong". He said typing a few things "Thought is a high-speed express doesn't belong in a two-story building". He explained. 'Odd, how could something built with the building not belong? Ugh, man's world is confusing'.
"Neither does what we saw". He said gesturing towards me before stepping forward and prying the doors open "Ugh!". I frowned when Kaldur stepped back in shock. I watched as Robin shot a line and dives inside. I instinctively took both Kaldurs' and Kid Flash hand, ignoring the flushed look from Aqua-lad and the surprised look from the latter. I didn't really like Kid Flash but he was my teammate, right? I flied in and easily lowered them towards Robin who was lounging on a ledge typing into his Holo com. "Bypassing ! Go!". He said just after I set both boys on the ledge. Aqua-lad immediately pried open the doors allowing everyone to enter. "Welcome to Project Cadmus". We walked in looking around. 'Huge!'.
I tensed hearing something coming a distance away. 'Footsteps?'. I saw out of the corner my eye Kid Flash strapping on his goggles. 'Kid! Wait!". But Kid Flash was already racing off and the footsteps were getting closer. I cringed as I watched Kid Flash tripped and nearly be squashed by the herd of giant beasts. I stared wide eyed at the beasts. "Great Hera...".
"No". Aqua-lad started with a dry tone. "Nothing going on here".
(Scene Break)
"Okay. I'm officially whelmed". Robin said scanning the aisle of contained creatures. I watched them in their pods, just floating there. "Creepy".
"This is how they hid this massive underground facility From the real Cadmus isn't on the grid". Kid Flash explained. "It generates its own power with these be what they're bred for". I looked at the creatures recalling a memory of my mother mentioning something about Cadmus.
"The Cadmus of Myth..."
"Of the name is a clue". Aqua-lad said shooting me a smile. I instantly smiled back 'So cool!'. "The Cadmus of myth created a new race by sowing dragons' teeth into the earth". He finished. We all looked over to Robin as he connected his Holo com to a nearby computer system.
"And this Cadmus creates new life, 's find out why". As he said this he pulled up a few screens of the creatures currently surrounding us. "They call them genomorphs.Whoa! Look at the stats on these things-superstrength, Telepathy, razor are living weapons!".
"They're engineering an army, but for who?".
"Maybe we should stay focus on the task at hand? Afterwards we seek answers". I asked looking to Kaldur for confirmation. I got a nod for my troubles.
" 's something else". Robin said pulling up another file. I peered over his shoulder praising Zeus once again that I'm only the second shortest here. "Project Kr. Ugh! The file's triple-encrypted. I can't-"
"Don't move!". We all snapped our attention towards the sound of the command. I immediately tensed waiting for the man to strike. "Wait. Robin, Aqualad, Kid Flash and blonde boy version of Wonder Woman?". I frowned at him.
"It's Wonder Boy". I answered back tersely.
"I know you. Guardian, a hero". Aqua-lad said stepping forward. He's a hero?
" I do my best". He said practically puffing out his chest. The nerve of this man! What was he doing here then? Is Diana shady? No! My sister would never but perhaps... I peered at Aqua-lad curiously. He caught me staring and I immediately looked away missing the flushed look he's currently sporting. "Then what are you doing here?". I heard Kid Flash ask.
"I'm chief of security". He said it like that solves everything. It didn't... "You're trespassing, but we can call the Justice League, figure this out". Immediately I clenched my fist "Is he saying my sister is a part of this? This...this... this piece of crap!(1).
"My sister would rather be Ares' lackey". I snapped out vehemently. He had it coming!
"You think The League's gonna approve of you breeding weapons?". Kid Flash asked. That one did something. He immediately stiffened but what came out of mouth next just baffled me.
"Weapons? What are you-what have I-ugh". What was he doing? He was babbling and I couldn't make harpie out of it. I watched as he gripped his head in pain, then he stopped. He suddenly looked up blankly. "Take them down hard! No mercy!". He shouted and instantly charged us. I whipped out my lasso as Robin drop a few smoke pellets and disappeared afterwards. 'The coward'. I flew up and lassoed one of the creatures before lifting it and slamming it down full force into the others creating a small crater and laying them out. Afterwards I barreled into another, grab it's tail and swing it into the others. 'Exhilarating!'.
I tensed when I felt a hand on my shoulder and immediately whipped around aiming a punch only to stop a mere inches from Aqua-lad's face. "Aqua-lad?". I lowered my fist and frowned at him 'I could of seriously laid him out!'.
"I apologize but, ". He points down the corridor at our MIA teammates. "We must keep moving". He finished, emphasizing his point by dragging me along with him. We ran around the corner to see our teammates bickering inside the elevator. I looked over my shoulder seeing the creatures in hot pursuit, needing no more prompting I grabbed Kaldurs' hand flew the rest of the way and into the elevator.
Robin reacted instantly and picked the floor level shutting off our view of rampaging creatures. "We're heading down?". I heard Kaldur asked. 'Down? Were we not escaping?'
"Dude, out is up". KF said pointing skywards.
"Excuse me? Project Kr is on sub level 52". I frowned.
"You risk our lives for your curiosity?". I growled.
"This is out of control. Perhaps-perhaps we should contact The League".
Tense...
Silence.
Ding
The elevators door opened and Robin immediately dashed out. "Oi!". I flew out after him.
"We are already here". Kid Flash pointed out before following after us. Kaldur could only sigh and ran out behind us.
"Which way?".
"Yeah. Bizarre-looking hallway one Or bizarre-looking hallway two?".
"Halt!". I looked to my left to see the horned figure from before levitating two barrels at us. We quickly scrambled away with Kid Flash taking the lead. I flew around the corner to the door barely held open by a barrel wedge inside "Hurry!". Kid Flash shouted out at us, I flew inside before turning around to see Kaldur kick the barrel outside ceiling the door. Robin immediately typed something into his Holo map.
"I disabled the door. We're safe". He breathed out
"We're trapped". Kaldur corrected.
"This is poor battle strategy!". I bit out. Trapped in the enemies base, Artemis would be furious! "Uh, guys?". I looked back to find Kid Flash staring dazedly at something.
"You may want to see this". He said flickering on a set of lights illuminating the room and giving us a full view of a kid in a pod... With a S on his chest... "Holy Zeus..."
"Big "k," little "r," the atomic symbol for krypton. Clone?". Kid Flash asked shooting a look at Robin. I stared at the boy in the pod, how could they do this? They cloned Superman? How could they draw blood from the strongest man on Earth- I gasped... 'Is Themiscyra safe?'.
"Robin, hack". Ordered Kaldur. Immediately Robin came to and set to work "
"Oh. Right, right". He pulled up a screen and instantly begins telling us the situation."Weapon designation Superboy, a clone force-grown In16 weeks?". What sort of sorcery is this? This is madness! "From DNA acquired from Superman".
"Stolen from Superman". Aqua-lad corrected again.
"No way the big guy knows about this".
"That doesn't sound very reassuring".
"Solar suit allows him to absorb yellow sun Radiation 24/7". I looked to Robin as he continued.
"And these creatures?". Asked Aqua-lad.
"Genomorph gnomes, telepathic, force-feeding him an education". Robin explained. Man did this without sorcery?
"And we can guess what else". Kid Flash said. I looked over his way to hear what he was gonna say. "They're making a slave out of, well, Superman's son". He finished.
I blinked.
Twice
"Son?". I asked.
"Yeah well, what else?". He answered back. I turned away from him to peer at Kaldur "What now?".
"Now we contact the League". Kaldur answered. I nodded. 'Diana would know what to do'. I watched as Kaldur pressed the 'A' on his belt then frown almost immediately.
"No signal". Robin said frowning.
"We're in too deep literally".
[Scene Break]
"This is wrong".
"We can't leave him like this".
"It is.. It is what any other Amazon would do".
"Do it. Set him free".
Robin nodded and immediately the hiss of the air from the pod filled the silent room...
Superboy pounced.
We all panicked.
Superboy rained punch after punch on Kaldur before Kid Flash and Robin grabbed a hold on his arms. "Whoa! Hang on, Supey". Kid Flash grunted.
"We're on your side!". Robin shouted.
Superboy merely grunted and threw Kid Flash through a glass case immediately knocking him out. "I don't want to do this!". Cried Robin as he exploded two gas pellets on Superboy and flipped aside. He quickly fired a taser as Superboy was distracted but only managed to snap him out of his daze. Superboy grabbed the wires and pulled it, catching Robin and slamming him into the floor. Instantly his boot came down on Robin's torso crushing him.
"Robin!" Moving instinctively, I lassoed Superboy and threw him on the far side of the room not caring about the gaping hole in the wall. "Are you alright?". All I got was a pained wheeze and Robin passing out. I looked up enraged spotting Superboy taking down Kaldur. "Enough!" I charged him, dodging his punch easily and got behind him. I kicked the back of his leg making it buckle and him fall to his knees. I struck immediately, bringing my foot up to knee him but he grabbed it last minute and using my momentum, threw me up in the air. I quickly lassoed him as my feet touch the roof. I hauled him up and smacked him back down but pulled hard before he hit the ground. I spun the lasso around before kicking him across the room.
CRASH!
I watched as he got up and charged me. I tanked all his blows with my gauntlets (A/N Made out of Gaea's golden girdle) and watched as he stared down at his bruised and battered knuckles. He stared at in confusion but I couldn't let up, that's when I struck. I attacked him with a volley of punches and kicks completely winding him. He struck out wildly and caught my foot before glaring viciously. I wasted no time in retaliating and planted both my hands on the floor and kicked him in the shin making he stars but he kicked out randomly and landed one my shoulder sending me skidding into the wall. "Oomph!".
Immediately he was on me and threw a punch to my face but I only barely managed to move my head away from the blow. I looked up to his bruised face and saw the vicious smirk he was sporting. Then I felt an excruciating pain all over my body before went black.
The bastard electrocuted me...
