Renegade looked up at Kr's unconscious form. "H-have you put any commands in him yet?" she asked after a bit, stumbling slightly. She looked over at the lady scientist as she checked on some things.
"We've managed to put in the phrase Red Sun in him. It makes it so he freezes, or pauses if you will, like a video game character," the woman said explaining, trying to put it in terms she might know. Though she knows what he means before he started saying it's like a video game. She's seen video games but has never played one before.
"So, for the clone of Speedy, what phrase do you have to saw to make him freeze?" she asked and the scientist looked at her in confusion. "Just want to be prepared should Lex want info from him or if battle with him becomes…..too difficult," the scientist nodded, giving a low 'oh'.
"It's Broken Arrow. Once he's in a trance you can ask him anything and he'll tell you whatever he knows. We're currently working on that for Kr. So far, you can only freeze him up," she said and Renegade nodded. "Once you're done here make sure to close and lock the door," she said walking away.
"Sure thing, doc," Renegade said raising a hand to acknowledge her. She circled Kr and thought about what she heard. Roy can be frozen up and then can be asked anything and he'll answer it and probably many other commands are in him, the same they plan to do to Supey, she thought sadly.
Does that mean the Roy I knew faked everything? Or does he not know? she continued thinking. She heard a commotion behind her and saw Robin, Kid Flash, and this dark skinned boy running. "Hurry!" Kid Flash yelled. She hide in the shadows, wanting to see what they were doing.
They ran into the room and she saw Guardian and a few genomes running up before the door closed. "I disabled the door. We're safe," Robin said.
"We're trapped," the dark skinned boy said. Kid Flash went over to Kr while they talked.
"Uh, guys. You'll want to see this," he said turning the lights on on Kr. They walked over to him in shock.
"Whoa!" Robin said, eyes widening. KF walks up to the tube and looks at the symbol on it.
"Big 'K', little 'r', the atomic symbol for Krypton," he turns to Robin. "Clone?" he asked.
"Robin, hack," the dark skinned one said. Who is he? she wondered.
"Oh. Right, right," he said and he plugged in his own hologlove. "Weapon designation Superboy, a clone force-grown in…..sixteen weeks?" he practically shouted. "From DNA acquired from Superman."
"Stolen from Superman," the dark one said turning. She saw the Atlantean symbol on his belt and knew he had something to do with Aquaman.
"No way the big guy knows about this," KF said.
She stepped out of the shadows, pulling a shuriken out, holding it ready. "Your not getting anything else from this," she growled. They turned toward her started, they didn't know she was in there.
"Keep her busy while I get the rest of it!" he said and they nodded, running forward. KF ran towards her and she stepped to the side and stuck her foot out, tripping him. He tumbled a bit and the other one came toward her, pulling out this handles. Water appeared in them as a sword.
She pulled out her katana and heard a hiss. She turned around quickly and saw the genomes horns glowing red and knew she was going to get help. "This is wrong," KF said as he stood up and saw the red.
"Set him free," the Atlantean said and Robin hesitated. "Do it. He could help us with her," he said as he came toward Renegade. She smiled at his ignorance and slashed at him. He blocked the attack and she heard hissing and clanking as the tube opened up. She heard him crack his knuckles and smiled again.
She heard a rush of air as he went forward and tried tackling Robin who ducked. "Whoa!" KF said running over to Kr. "Hang on, Supey," he said as the clone turned and tried hitting Robin again. Robin covered his eyes and Kr struggled.
"We're on your side," Robin said and Renegade scoffed as she battled the Atlantean. Kr jerked his arm free from KF's grip and punched him, sending him flying through a glass container.
"They aren't on your side!" she shouted and he looked over at her. "I am though. Help me defeat them!" he gave a slight nod and turned to Robin. Robin pulled out a taser and shot the cords at him. Electricity went through the cables up to Kr but he pulled them, causing Robin to be jerked over to Kr.
He threw Robin down and placed his foot on Robin's chest, pressing down. The Atlantean pulled from our fight, putting one handle away and making the other form a big hammer like thing. He swung at Kr. "Enough!" he shouted, hitting Kr back into the metal he was leaning against.
He put his other one away and helped Robin up who just groaned and fell back down. Kr and Renegade went toward him and she help her katana ready. "We are trying to help you," he tried and she just shook her head. Kr rushed forward and punched the ground as the boy evaded his attack.
He then managed to push Kr into the wall and Kr kicked him away. Renegade went forward and slashed at him with her katana and he dodged the cut. He grabbed her arm and spun her around until her arm was bent behind her back.
He wrapped his other arm around her throat and she felt electricity going through her. He can electrocute people! she thinks in her mind. Kr pushes him away and she falls to the ground on her knees, vision blurring. She waved a hand and he went forward to the boy as she tries clearing her head.
He throws the boy up at the ceiling and the boy grunts. Kr does it once more and the boy is knocked out. Kr looks around and comes over to Renegade and helped her up before going to the door and forces it open. Dr. Desmond comes in and looks at the work. "Attaboy," he said and she walked toward him, eyebrow raised as he didn't see her.
"Good work, Renegade. Lex would be proud," he said and she rolled her eyes. Kr continued staring ahead as he came in. "Let's put them in pods for now. I'll go talk to the board of directors," with that he turned and left. Kr grabbed their arms and pulled them behind him.
Guardian showed him where to go and put the sidekicks in pods with glass sphere's underneath. Renegade helped lock them in and stood back, leaning against a wall waiting for Desmond while the clone stares at the intruders. Technically she should have been at Lexcorp but thought Lex would prefer her here where she could help make sure nothing escapes.
All three gasp and their heads jerk up. Renegade looks at them suspiciously from the shadows. "What? What-what do you want?" KF asked the clone. "Quit staring. You're creeping me out," KF continued and Robin looked over at him.
"Uh, KF, how about we not tick off the guy who could fry us with a look?" he suggested and KF looked at him.
"We only sought to help you," the boy said after a pause.
"Yeah. We free you, and you turn on us. How's that for grat-" KF started and the boy interrupts him.
"Kid, please, be quiet now," he said and KF looks over at him. I believe our new friend was not in full control of his actions," he said and Renegade stepped forward.
"Do not believe them," she said looking at Kr.
"What-what if I…..what if I wasn't?" he asked.
"He can talk?" KF asked and she looked between him and Kr. Kr cracked his knuckles again and she placed a hand on his shoulder.
"Of course your in control of your actions," she said.
"Yes, he can," Kr said and they all looked at KF.
"Not like I said , it," he said.
"The Genomorphs taught you telepathically," the boy said and Kr gave a slight nod.
"They taught me much," Renegade started having a bad feeling about this and looked between Kr and the three sidekicks. "I can read, write. I-i know the names of things," he continued.
"But have you seen them?" Robin asked. "Have they ever actually let you see the sky? Or the sun?"
"Images are implanted in my mind, but no," he said. "I have not seen them."
"You will see them eventually," Renegade said and everyone looked at her. "The Doctors wanted you to know these things so that once you're ready you know what everything is. Don't be fooled into thinking that you won't ever see them," she continued.
"Do you know what you are, who you are?" the boy asked and Kr looked up at him and she gave a small sigh.
"I am the Superboy, a Genomorph a clone from the DNA of the Superman created to replace him should he perish….to destroy him should he turn from the light," he said. Robin and KF looked at each other while the Atlantean looked at Kr.
"To be like Superman is a worthy aspiration. But like Superman you deserve a life of your own beyond that solar suit beyond your pod beyond CADMUS," he said and Kr tensed.
"I live because of CADMUS!" he yelled. "It is my home!" he continued and Renegade smirked.
"Your home is a test tube," Robin said and she glared at them. "We can show you the sun," he said. KF looked over at Robin, looking a little regretful.
"Uh, pretty sure it's after midnight but we can show you the moon," he reasoned.
"We can show you, introduce you to Superman," the boy said.
"Don't listen to them," Renegade said. "This is your home and they will show you the sun and moon," she said.
"No, they can't," Desmond said at the same time and they all looked back at him as he entered the room. "They'll be otherwise occupied. Activate the cloning process," he said and the woman walked toward a panel.
"Pass. Batcave's crowded enough," Robin said and Renegade couldn't help but think who else could be there besides him and Batman.
"And get the weapon back in its pod!" he demanded Guardian and Renegade gave him a glare. If you want it to stay loyal don't call it a weapon in front of him, she thought.
"Hey, how come he gets to call Supey and it?" KF asked as Guardian settled a hand on Kr's shoulder.
"Help us," the boy said to Kr before Guardian tried turning him around and Kr jerked his shoulder from Guardian's grasp.
"Don't start thinking now," Desmond said walking by and his genome jumped into Kr's shoulder and a hissing sounded. Kr straightened before looking forward. "See, you're not a real boy. You're a weapon, and you belong to me! Well, to CADMUS. Same thing," he said and Renegade stepped forward.
"You now, calling him a weapon isn't the best way to get him to stay," she said and Desmond glared at her. "What just saying. If you want him to stay, don't call him a weapon or it and let him have some ability to think," she said. He glared at her and she turned to Kr.
"Kr, do you think you can go back to your pod? They want to make sure your fine after that battle with the sidekicks," she said and he nodded, turned around and walked away. She turned to Desmond and smirked. "See, works because he feels like a real person and not an 'it'. How'd you feel being called an 'it'?" she asked.
Desmond sighed and turned toward the scientist and Renegade sighed, going back to the wall and leaning against it.

Well, this seems like a good place to stop a chap! Sorry for the wait but I had to water my neighbors plants and then I had some other things that I needed to get done. But let me say this, I have never been so scared when I went into their backyard and came almost face to face with a black bee. So scary! Review! Luv ya! -RK
