The Phoenix Project Chapter 2
Shayera Hol and John Stewart better known as Green Lantern and Hawkgirl of the Justice League were on a shuttle head toward Cadmus headquarters.
"I don't like this John I don't like it one bit. It's not like them to out of the blue offer to give us valuable information." She said making her suspicions clear.
"I know I don't like the idea much myself Shay but if we want o make peace with them we have to have some kind of mutual trust." John replied sternly.
"This is Cadmus we're talking about John; I doubt they'll want to talk peace. They hate us remember?"
"Clearly, but we can't just go in there and bash everything in site." He explained as he eyed Shayera's mace.
She caught his stair and reluctantly loosed her hold on the weapon.
Ever since the battle with Luthor the two had stopped avoiding each other and had somewhat of a friendship. Today, they were to be the only members of the League to deal with Cadmus's unexpected request. Superman had only wanted original members to answer to the call and since they were the only ones unoccupied they were chosen. Both were equally suspicious about the request that they come to dispose of a discontinued project. Although not clue was given to what this "project" was neither wanted to dispose of it maybe there was another way. It seemed like old times as they both continued bickering before landing at Cadmus.
"Green Lantern, Shayera. Glad you could make it are you the only ones?" Amanda Waller greeted them.
"For now yes, are you implying that we need back up?" Shayera asked, her eyes narrowing.
"Not at all. I'm just surprised to see only two of the seven here."
"So what exactly are we here for?" John asked breaking up the glaring contest that the two women had started.
"I have asked you here in hopes that you may dispose of one of our discontinued projects."
"And what pray tell is this "project" exactly?" Shayera asked.
"Follow me and I'll explain." Ms. Waller instructed as she walked inside the building.
The two followed, on alert for any signs that this may be a trap.
Once inside the experimental wing of Cadmus Waller turned and addressed the subject.
"I'm sure you know of some of the work at Cadmus involves creating government friendly superheroes."
Shayera and John thought of the Ultimen and Galatea.
"Well one of said projects has been showing no signs of progress and it uses up far too much time and money. We can no longer afford the study on it. The project is known as the Phoenix Project. But we can't just dispose of a superhuman, she is stable of mind and we have decided to give her to you."
"Her?" they both asked in unison. Waller nodded and led them down a hall to a cell. Shayera's and John's eyes grew wide at what it contained. Behind the glass was a young Thanagarian girl.
"How did you capture a Thanagarian?" Shayera growled as John held her back so she couldn't attack Amanda.
"On the contrary Miss Hol we saved her."
"Saved her? Is locking up someone and performing experiments on them considered saving!" she screeched outraged. Shayera couldn't believe it one of her people was being used for study.
"It isn't as it seems. When the Thanagarian army left her on earth to die we offered her a place to stay so long as she cooperated with us. Don't you recognize her Shayera?" Waller asked thoughtfully. For the first time Shayera looked closely at the girl, she had short spiked blonde hair with ghostly golden eyes. Only one person she knew had golden eyes. Shayera stammered approaching the bars,
"Jaya?" She whispered.
The girl gave her a sly smile.
Oh, cliffy! Gotta love those things. Who is Jaya? How does Shayera know her? What did Cadmus do to her? Why don't Green Lantern and Shayera admit their true feelings?
The answer to the first three questions next chapter! Let me know if anyone had the answer to the fourth because I don't! The more Reviews the faster I update!
