Disclaimer: In first chapter. I also don't own Scott Pilgrim vs. The World
I've updated twice in one week? Wow, I must be ill or something!
"Where the hell have you been?!"
I realised that evening that it had been a month since I spoke to Meredith or my other best friend, Olivia. I had been busy with joining the team and I hadn't called my friends yet. Cadmus had also taken my cell phone which was still in my pocket. Batman gave me a new phone but then I had to get the numbers from the phone in my old house. Batman also didn't want me phoning anyone in case Cadmus traced the call.
I called them that night and they were a little pissed off. Okay that's an exaggeration, they were really pissed off.
"I've been calling you since I got back from France and you didn't answer. I went to your house and it was empty! There were cops outside who wouldn't let me in! I thought there was a murder or something!"
I was on the phone to Meredith and she wasn't happy. No one, including me, had come up with an excuse for my absence. I had to think of an excuse and it wasn't great.
"I lost my phone Mer and there had been a robbery. Besides we moved."
"Seriously? You couldn't phone me on a different phone?! Where did you move to anyway?"
"I'm sorry Mer. I should have called. We moved to Rhode Island."
I heard her sigh over the phone. "Have you talked to Olivia yet?"
"Yeah, I called her earlier. She reacted the same way you did. I have to go soon. Do you want to meet up next Friday? I'll come down to Gotham to see you guys. We can go see Scott Pilgrim vs. the World and then go to the diner like we always do. "
"Okay. We'll meet at my house first then go to the movie theatre."
"That's fine with me. Listen Mer, I have to go now. I'll take to you later okay? Bye."
"Okay. See ya later Lila."
I hung up the phone and placed it in front of me. I was sitting at the table in the kitchen and the rest of the team were watching a movie in the other room. I sighed. I was already exhausted from training with BC and the others. I was getting better now that I was getting used to training with Canary.
I rubbed my eyes and yawned. Maybe it was time to go to bed. I was a little happy though. My wrist had healed up and Black Canary removed the bandage that afternoon.
"Tiring day?"
I looked up to see Kaldur walking into the kitchen. He smiled at me and I smiled back. "Yeah. Just got off the phone with my friend. She went to my house and they wouldn't let her in. She was mad and thought there had been a murder or something." I got off my chair and walked over to Kaldur, who taking cups out of the cupboard.
"I am sure your friend was just worried about you."
I sighed. "Yeah," I watched as Kaldur pulled something out of a different cupboard, "You making something Kaldur?"
Kal nodded. "Hot chocolate. Would you like a cup?"
I smiled slightly. That wasn't the answer I was expecting. "You know how to make hot chocolate?"
He nodded. "Robin taught me how to make it and I find the beverage delicious."
"I'd love a cup. I'll be back in a second. Just want to put my phone in my room." Kal nodded again. As I walked to my room I realised something. Kaldur was really good looking and was really sweet. Also, knowing my luck, he probably had a girlfriend. I mean who wouldn't want a charming, good-looking, sweet Atlantian? I ran a hand through my curly hair and frowned.
I put my phone on my desk and walked back to the kitchen. Kal handed me a cup of hot chocolate. "Is something wrong?" He must have noticed the frown on my face. I shook my head and sipped my hot chocolate.
"Thanks Kal. This is awesome hot chocolate." I replied with a smile.
"If this is about your friend Lila, I'm sure she was only worried about you. You just need to talk to her." Oh Kal. It's really the opposite I was frowning about. I helped bring in the hot chocolate to others and we watched the end of the movie they were watching.
The next morning I was woken up by someone pounding on my door. I groaned. "Go away!" I called out to the person. They continued knocking. I crawled out of my bed and walked over to the door. I opened it to see Robin and M'gann standing there.
"What?" I snapped.
"Beach party!" M'gann replied excitedly, holding up a black bikini.
"What?" I asked again. I wasn't really awake yet.
"We're going to the beach! C'mon get ready. Kal and Supey are waiting for us."
I paid more attention at the mention of Kal. Shirtless Kal? Yes please. M'gann handed me the bikini and I replied "Give me a few minutes." They both nodded and I shut the door. I left the bikini on the bed and went into the bathroom. I had to get a shower.
After getting out of the shower and put on the bikini. It was a nice cut and tied up behind the neck. The only problem I had now was my scar. It was from where I was shot in the shoulder when I was four. It wasn't huge but it was still big enough that people would look at it and ask questions. It made me uncomfortable when people asked questions about it.
I decided to just put on a grey crop top with Why? scrawled across it in black letters. I left my room and went to meet M'gann. She stood at the door that led to the beach. "Kaldur and Superboy are setting up the volleyball net and Robin's bringing the food."
I nodded and M'gann entered a code on the panel beside the door. "You were quick." I heard Robin to speak. I turned to see him holding three packets of hotdog buns.
We all walked out to the beach and M'gann ran out in front. "Hello Megan! We should go to the beach every day!"
"First, a moment of silence for our absent comrade." Robin replied.
"Poor Wally." M'gann added.
"Where's Wally?" I asked.
"School. It started today for him. But sucks to be him!" Robin grinned and I laughed. Kal and Superboy were just finishing setting up the volleyball court. Kaldur saw me and smiled.
"Good morning Lila."
"Good morning!" I replied cheerily. Holy crap, Kaldur in only swim trunks was a very attractive sight. "Come for a swim Lila! The water's great!" M'gann called over to me. I replied "Coming!"
"You coming?" I asked Kaldur. He nodded and we both walked to the water.
"Are you sure you do not want to remove your shirt?" Kaldur asked. I raised my eyebrow at him and he blushed faintly when he realised how the sentence sounded. "I mean so it does not get wet in the water!"
I chuckled. "No. I just like a little protection from the sun." I made up the lie quickly.
"Alright then." He replied.
I swam out with Kaldur for a while but stopped when he went out a bit too far. It kind of made me nervous. Kaldur stopped when he noticed I had stopped swimming. "Are you not coming out further?" We weren't too far from the shore.
I kind of hesitated but replied "After an incident where I hit my head on a rock and was nearly knocked out in the water I haven't been great in the water."
Kaldur smiled slightly. "A mermaid who is not great in the water. How odd."
I couldn't help but smile. Kal had remembered our conversation. "I know. How weird."
"I could help you with swimming." He smiled.
I grinned at him. "That would be awesome."
Kaldur swam towards me. "Come along. I think the others have started a volleyball game." I nodded and we both swam back to shore.
The rest of the day went by very quickly. We played volleyball for a while; Robin was probably the best out of all of us. We cooked hot dogs on the portable grill that M'gann had found somewhere. We even buried Superboy in the sand and he didn't complain! Seriously I thought he would have punched us away but he just lay there, with his sunglasses on, as we buried him in the sand. It had probably been the best day of my summer so far.
As the sun set we packed up the volleyball court and portable grill then went inside. We suddenly heard Batman's voice through the intercom.
"Team, be in uniforms and in transporter room in five minutes."
Five minutes later we had gathered in the transporter room just as the computerized voice announced the arrival of Green Arrow and someone called Artemis. She was a tall, blonde girl wearing a green and yellow outfit. She also had a quiver and bow strung across her back.
"This," Batman said, "is your new teammate, Artemis."
There was a moment of silence before Robin asked Artemis. "Welcome to the team. Can I see when of your arrows?"
Artemis looked confused and said "Uh sure." She pulled an arrow out of her quiver and handed it to Robin.
"Recognised Kid Flash. B03."
Wally rushed in wearing his swimming trunks and said something about him being the Wall-man and being ready to party. He looked ready to go to the beach; he even had a beach umbrella, which he tripped over. I winced as he slammed onto the ground.
"Wall man huh?" Artemis said with a smirk, "I love the uniform. What exactly are your powers?" I couldn't help but chuckle quietly at this remark.
Wally didn't look impressed. "Uh, who is this?"
"Artemis, your new teammate."
"Kid Flash, never heard of you."
Green Arrow walked over to Artemis and placed his hand on her shoulder. "She's my new protégée."
"What happened to your old one?!"
"Recognised Speedy. B06."
A redhead came in. So this must be Speedy. He didn't look too cheerful.
"Well for a start, he doesn't go by Speedy anymore. Call me Red Arrow." He said.
"Roy," Green Arrow stepped out from behind Artemis, "You look-"
"Replaceable." Red cut him off.
"It's not like that! You told me you were going solo." Green Arrow replied.
"So why waste time finding a sub? Can she even use that bow?!" Wow, he was delightful. Roy must be known for his charm.
"Yes, she can." Artemis replied, glaring at Red.
"Who are you?" Wally and Artemis were now glaring daggers at each other.
Green Arrow and Artemis both spoke at the same time. "I'm his niece." Or "She's my niece or "I have knees." It was most likely the first two.
"You misunderstand. She is not your replacement," Kaldur stepped up, "We have always wanted you on the team. We have no quota on archers."
"And if we did," Wally said, "You know who we'd pick." I raised my eyebrows. Why was Wally being such a jerk to Artemis?
"Whatever Baywatch, I'm here to stay." Artemis stepped up.
Roy's gaze landed on me. "And who are you? Another replacement?" He asked tightly and glared at me.
"Lila Archer." I snapped at him and glared back. Kaldur interrupted our glaring match. "You came to us for a reason."
"Yeah. A reason called Dr Sterling Roquette."
Robin spoke from beside Wally, tapping on his wrist hologram. "Nano-robotics genius and Claytronics expert at the Royal University in Star City," Roquette's information appeared on the screens, "Vanished two weeks ago."
"Abducted two weeks ago. By the League of Shadows." Roy replied. League of Shadows? The assassins?
"Whoa! You want us to rescue her from the Shadows?" Robin asked excitedly.
"Hardcore!" Wally sounded equally excited.
"I already rescued her," Roy walked over to the screens and pulled up an image of a robotic bug, "only one problem. The Shadows had already coerced her into creating a weapon." "Doc calls it 'The Fog'. It's comprised of millions of microscopic robots, nanotech infiltrators, capable of disintegrating anything in their path; concrete, steel, flesh, bone. But its true purpose isn't destruction, it's theft. The infiltrators can store raw data from computer systems and deliver the stolen intel to the shadows. Providing the access to weapons, strategic defence, cutting edge science and tech.
"Perfect for extortion and manipulation, power broking," said Artemis knowingly. "Yeah, sounds like the Shadows."
"Like you know anything about the shadows." Wally spat. Artemis gave him a knowing look. "Who are you?!"
Roy brought us back on topic. "Roquette is working on a virus to render the FOG useless."
Robin looked concerned. "But if the shadows know she can do that-"
"They'll target her." Roy finished. "Right now she's off the grid," Roy brought up an image of Happy Harbour High School, "I stashed her in the local High School's computer lab."
"You left her alone?!" Green Arrow demanded.
"She's safe enough for now." Roy replied.
"Then let's keep her that way." Green Arrow stepped towards Roy.
"You and I? Don't you want to take your new protégée?" Roy spat.
Arrow was about to reply when Batman placed a hand on his shoulder. Arrow then spoke. "You brought this to the team. It's their mission. Which means it's hers now too."
"Then my job's done." Roy replied and then started to walk to the transporter.
"Recognised. Speedy-"
"That's Red Arrow. B06 Update." He interrupted the computer irritably and then left.
There was a moment of silence before Batman turned to the rest of us. "I expect a full report when you complete the mission."
Green Arrow smiled at his sidekick and added in "Good luck." Artemis smiled back at him. We all turned and started to walk to the Bioship hanger.
"Uh, if you don't mind me asking," Artemis asked me, "What's your name? I haven't seen you on the news before I think."
"I'm Shade but my actual name is Lila," I replied, "That's because I'm new, like you. I only became Shade about a month ago."
"Yeah. So that would make you the second one? Since the first one died."
I chuckled. "She didn't actually."
"Wait what?!"
"It's a long story." Wally and I said around the same time. Wally grinned at me and wrapped an arm around my shoulder. "Looks like we're on the same wavelength beautiful!" I rolled my eyes and pulled Wally's arm off of me.
"Go put a shirt on Wall man."
"Come on babe, enjoy the view!" I rolled my eyes again.
"Wally I can barely take you seriously with a shirt on. Now you just look ridiculous," Artemis giggled as I spoke; "Besides we're at the Bioship chamber. It's time to go."
Wally pouted and walked off to his room.
"Is he always like that?" Artemis asked.
"Oh you have no idea." I replied.
The ride to the High school was tense, to say the least. Wally and Artemis were arguing with each other most of the way and when they weren't arguing, they were giving each other death glares. It was kind of a relief to get off the Bioship.
Superboy, M'gann and Robin were doing perimeter around the building and Kal, Artemis, Wally and I were patrolling the halls and staying with the Doc.
"Everybody online?" I heard M'gann ask in my head. I walked down the hallway near the computer lab. My school was a dump compared to this place.
"Whoa. This is weird." Artemis' voice echoed in my head.
"And distracting!" The doctor replied. She then went on to say some computer stuff that I didn't understand and complained about the fact that she would hear 'Teen think' in her skull.
"Lady, do you always complain when someone tries to help you?" Wally remarked.
"Pot, Kettle. Have you met?" Artemis replied.
"Hey I do not need the newbie who drove Red arrow of the team!" Wally said. I rolled my eyes. Looks like these two were getting in an argument again.
"That is so not on me!" Artemis replied angrily.
"Would you two stop? We're on a mission here and you both need to be quiet!" I interrupted their argument.
"Exactly, since the fate of the world is in stake here!" The Doctor exclaimed in our heads.
"How about I just help Miss Martian and Superboy with perimeter?" Artemis asked.
"Good idea." Kaldur replied.
I finished patrolling the halls and went into the computer room were Kaldur and the doctor were. Kaldur didn't look too happy. His arms were crossed over his chest and he looked a bit frustrated. I couldn't blame him.
"You might want to cut her some slack," Robin said, "It was her arrow that saved you from Amazo." That explained a lot.
"What! No," Wally replied in disbelief, "That was Speedy's, I mean Red Arrow's arrow right?!"
"Not so much."
"Well, still not giving her the satisfaction."
"You know I can still hear you!" Artemis replied, sounding annoyed.
"I couldn't have got the Justice League." The Doctor muttered in our heads.
Kaldur walked over beside the Doctor. "The virus won't be of much use if we can't find the weapon. Can you track it?"
"My utility fog is not a weapon. It's science! Brilliant science!" She replied angrily, "And of course I can track it but I would have to go online. Might as well rent a billboard with this address on it and assassinate me written in neon."
Kal placed his hand on her shoulder. "We will protect you."
The doctor thought for a moment then pressed a button on the keyboard. "Tracking fog now."
I sighed and walked over to the door. "I'm going to sweep the hallways again."
"If you see anything unusual-"I interrupted Kal's reply.
"Alert the team. I know."
I was walking down the hallway when I noticed someone jump across the skylight. "There's someone on the roof."
"Sorry Lila that was me." Supey replied. I sighed in relief. I thought it was someone else.
"Mm that boy." Artemis' voice echoed in my head. Was this about Superboy? Hitting on M'gann's turf was not going to go well.
"He can hear you! We can all hear you." M'gann replied, sounding annoyed.
"Oh, I know." Artemis replied.
"Miss Martian", Kal's voice echoed, "Dr. Roquette has located the Fog. Reconfigure the bioship so that Robin and Superboy can pursue."
I walked back to the computer lab and Wally grinned at me from where he stood, guarding the door. I smiled slightly back and walked into the lab. I then stood beside Kal. "Halls were clear?" He asked.I nodded "Seem to be."
Suddenly something was thrown at the doctor. I gasped as Kal jumped in front of her and blocked whatever had been thrown. "Get down!" I exclaimed and pushed the doctor under the desk.
"Keep the doctor safe." Kaldur said. I gasped as more of the projectiles landed in his arm. He didn't seem to be affected though. He pulled them out quickly.
I pushed the doctor out from under the table to the other side, trying to get as far away as we could from the assassin. A tall dark-haired woman entered the room. She wore a Cheshire cat mask that was slightly eerie.
"Well that must have hurt," she purred.
"Atlantian skin is quite dense." Kal replied as he pulled out his water bearers and turned them into swords.
She continued to attack him, "And my shuriken are quite poisonous."
As the assassin was distracted with Kaldur, I pulled the doctor away to get to the door.
"Megan, Kid, Artemis, we are under attack. Computer lab," his voice echoed through my head as I pushed Roquette towards the door. "On our way", Artemis replied.
We got there and I swore as I pulled at the handle. It was locked. "Locked. Great." I muttered under my breath.
"Poison slowing you down?" She asked as they clashed.
"Jelly fish poisoning. I am largely immune." He glared back before she smacked him in the head. Kaldur fell to the ground.
"Aqualad!" I exclaimed. I pulled out my staff and extended it as the assassin chuckled. I pushed the doctor under one of the desks as the assassin threw more of her throwing stars at us. I rolled out of the way and she threw more in my direction.
I leapt over one of the desks and was about to hit her with my staff when she blocked my hit with her sai. We fought but the assassin managed to kick my legs out from under me and my head slammed into the edge of a desk. Pain shot through me as I cried out. I felt dizzy.
"Nice try junior." She said, raised her sai and was about to hit me with it when it was knocked out of her hand by an arrow.
"Don't move." Artemis said to the assassin. She looked over at Artemis as Artemis approached her. Kal and I both got up. "This gig is getting interesting." The assassin pulled out a sword from the folds of her robe. How many weapons did that girl have? She was like a walking arsenal.
Artemis fired arrows at her which were easily blocked. Kaldur crept up beside me and asked quietly "Are you alright?"
"Yeah you?" I replied at the same volume. He nodded. KF then arrived along with Miss M. He stopped in front of the doctor to protect her.
The assassin stopped. "Maybe a little too interesting." She pulled something else out of her robe. It was a flash bomb and she threw it to the ground, disappearing under a cloud of smoke. The smoke cleared to see Wally hanging onto Artemis. He must of tried to grab the assassin. Wally backed off quickly.
"Gone!" Wally exclaimed.
"She's getting away! You're letting her get away!" The doctor complained. I rolled my eyes and snapped "Just be glad you're alive!" She glared at me.
"This is all your fault. You were on perimeter, how'd that Shadow get in?" Wally blamed Artemis. She glared at him but didn't reply.
"That's not really fair," M'gann defended Artemis, "I was outside too."
"Outside, be distracted by her!" Wally replied quickly, "Besides, I can't be mad at you!"
"You gave me mouth to mouth." Wally's voice echoed in my head.
"We heard that!" Everyone chorused.
M'gann tried to comfort Artemis, saying how her first battle didn't go well either. I walked over to the pair and said "Thanks for saving my butt back there, by the way." Artemis smiled slightly in reply.
"Focus everyone," Kaldur interrupted. "The Shadows will be back."
Robin started to speak over the comm. My eyes widened as he described how the FOG decimated a Star Labs facility in Philadelphia. It was full of high tech information and now the Shadows had it. This was not good. "What now?" He asked Kaldur.
"Rescan for that FOG. Find it. We're move the doctor," was his reply.
"Stop it, both of you." Kal said over the mind-link.
"What?!" Artemis and KF replied.
"I can hear you glaring" I chuckled quietly at Kal's reply. Miss M, KF and Artemis had been the decoy. M'gann had morphed into the doctor and pretended to be her while Kal and I guarded the real doctor at a different location. I was currently sitting beside the real doctor as she worked on the virus.
I jumped off my seat as someone came opened the door; my hand automatically grabbed my staff. I relaxed when I saw it was Kal. "The Shadows took the bait," he told me, "They have engaged Miss M, Kid and Artemis. Doctor, how much longer?"
"I've almost got it!" Roquette let us know.
I got up from my seat and walked around the internet café. The doc said this would be fine. All she needed was a computer and an internet connection.
Kal and I looked up as the roof creaked. The assassin was here. "Someone's here." I said quietly.
"Uploading now!" Roquette exclaimed triumphantly, "By the way, you said you'd protect me!" I pulled out staff and extended it as the door creaked open. A smoke bomb rolled in. Kal pulled out his waterbearers and turned them into swords.
I turned when I noticed Kaldur looking the other way. Suddenly, three darts imbedded themselves in Kaldur's chest. "Oh my God." I murmured quietly. He stumbled backwards.
"Let's test that jellyfish immunity, shall we?" The assassin jumped down from the vent.
I pushed the doctor back as Kaldur shook himself and then began to fight the assassin. She dodged most of his hits and kicked him to the ground. He landed face first and his swords disappeared. "There," She purred, "Limit tested." I glared at the assassin and she started to step towards me.
"Oh, what's the matter? Did I hurt you boyfriend?" She asked and then chuckled. I advanced towards her and growled "What's in those darts?"
"Oh nothing for you to worry about." She replied. I held out my staff like a sword and brought it down near one of her knives. She dodged the blow but while she was distracted I kicked her knee, making her stumble slightly.
"Oh someone is very annoyed. Shouldn't you go help your boyfriend?" She purred as our weapons clashed. There was a beep then Roquette screamed "Upload complete!"
The assassin kicked me in the stomach which made me stumble backwards. "Looks like you live another day doctor but don't forget, the Shadows may find need for your programming skills again." She threw a smoke bomb at the ground. The doctor and I started coughing and once the smoke cleared we noticed that she was gone.
I ran over to Kaldur as he started to wake up. "Are you okay?" I crouched down beside him to help him up. He nodded. "Is the doctor alright?" He croaked.
"I'm fine." She replied. Roquette stood behind me. "The assassin got away." I told Kaldur as I helped him stand up. "The virus?"
"Uploaded." Roquette told him. He took one unsteady step and nearly fell over. I grabbed him and put his arm around my shoulder to help him walk. The Doctor put his other arm around her shoulder to help him as well.
We walked outside and saw Artemis standing there. "Where is the assassin?" Kaldur asked her. "She uh, she got away." Artemis replied.
Wally suddenly appeared beside her. "Oh from you? Big surprise! Notice, we got ours." I was getting really annoyed.
"What is your problem?!"I snapped at him, "There's no need to be a jerk to Artemis just because she joined the team and Speedy didn't. From what I heard today, he sounded like he didn't even want to join in the first place! Even if you don't like Artemis she still deserves respect as a teammate!"
"Why do you care?!" Wally spat back at me.
"I care because if I was an archer, would you treat me the same way?! I can't help but think that wouldn't like me if I was!" I exclaimed, "Artemis helped Kaldur and I when we under attack. She deserves thanks."
Wally looked surprised at my outburst. Artemis smiled slightly at me as Kaldur stepped up, as he pulled the darts out of his chest. "She is right. Doctor Roquette is safe, thanks in no small part to you," Artemis looked over to Kaldur, "Welcome to the team."
M'gann, Kaldur and I walked over to Artemis. Kaldur shook her hand and M'gann placed her hand on Artemis' shoulder. "I've always wanted a sister. Now I've got two!" M'gann placed her other hand on my shoulder, "Here on earth I mean! I've got twelve on Mars but trust me it's not the same."
"I wouldn't know but thanks." Artemis replied. I elbowed KF to make him say something. "Ow! Yeah welcome." He shook hands with Artemis then looked down.
"Cool! Souvenir!" He picked up the assassin's mask that she had left on the ground. "Did you see her face?" Kaldur asked. Artemis shook her head. "It was dark."
Kaldur sighed. "No matter. We should get back to the cave."
"Robin and Superboy are back!" M'gann pointed down one of the alleyways. We looked down there to see Robin and Supey walked down the hatch of the invisible Bioship.
"How'd the mission go for you guys?" Robin asked.
"Good. The Doctor is safe. We need to move her to Mount Justice quickly. Just in case the assassin changes her mind. Radio Batman and tell him that Roquette needs transport back to Star City." Kal told Robin.
Robin nodded and raised his hand to his ear. "Robin to Batman." As he spoke to Batman the rest of us started to move to the Bioship. As we got closer Kaldur started to stop leaning on me. "How are you feeling?" I asked.
"Better. I think I can walk by myself now," Kal told me as he pulled his arm off my shoulder, "Thank you for helping me." I smiled at him.
Everyone climbed aboard the Bioship and took their seats. M'gann made another one for Doctor Roquette and she sat down. I smirked as I heard her mutter "This is odd." We then started the journey back to Mount Justice.
The next day someone woke me up by ringing my phone. I groaned when I saw the time. It was only 7am and I had gone to sleep about five hours ago. I grabbed my phone and raised my eyebrow when I saw that it was an unknown number.
"Hello." I answered.
"Hey Lila. It's Robin." I groaned at the answer.
"Can't you call me at a more reasonable time? Say noon? How did you get my number anyway?"
"Batman recorded the number when he gave you back your cell phone," Of course he did, "Anyway, I was reading some of the files Batman got from Cadmus and I found some about the experiment Scarlett did."
This got my attention . I climbed out of my bed. "But I thought Scarlett had all the files from the project."
"Apparently not. I'll show you. I'll be at the cave in ten minutes with the files." With that he hung up. I got up and pulled off my pyjamas. I put on a pair of sweatpants and a t-shirt. This was weird. I thought Scarlett took all of the files from the research facility before she went to the Justice League.
I walked out to the command room. The cave was empty. The others were still asleep. I sat down and waited for ten minutes. Then the Boy wonder arrived in civies and sunglasses. "Hey. I'll show you the files now."
He typed a few things into the command room computer and brought up several different pages. "There's a lot of stuff here. From different effects to information about every test subject. Nearly all of them are dead. Apart from the obvious."
He brought up the names of all the subjects. I scanned the names. I saw Scarlett's and then froze when I saw another name.
"Robin click on the file of this one." I pointed at the name. Robin clicked on it. "Oh my God." I murmured quietly when I saw the picture.
"What? What's wrong?" Robin asked me.
"Alexandria Turner. Robin this is my mom."
