FOUR BOYS: The Path We Seek
Chapter 2: Game Start
"Tomorrow, you will be released. If you are bored of brawling with thieves and want to achieve something, there is a rare blue flower that grows on the eastern slopes."
...CADMUS Labs...
Vandal Savage, Ra's Al Ghul, Lex Luthor, Queen Bee, The Brain, Klarion, and Black Mantha. Seven members of the Light made themselves known as they appeared on separate screens obscured by bright white light.
In the room, the head scientists and an assistant of each crew stood proudly beside each boy, now out of the pod and mostly conscious, each with a gnome on his shoulder. The boys stood tall, and didn't usher a single sound as the scientists spoke the quality and effort they had put in their making and development.
"Impressive indeed", Luthor spoke, he looked pleased eyeing the boys/weapons in front.
Vandal Savage hummed lowly, "As we said you are to deliver them to us right away."
"Yes of course, it will take only a day and we will deliver them to the rendezvous-" the scientist was caught of by the distant yet alarming siren.
"INTRUDER ALERT. INTRUDER ALERT"
It wasn't long before they heard the footsteps and shouts of the huge metallic doors began closing for their safety as a guard shouted to the scientists inside.
"Code J8 ITS THE JUSTICE LEAGUE!"
The horrified faces of the scientist only added to the enraged ones of the members of the Light, that began logging off, the last words were given by Luthor seized through the screen promising death if they did not obey.
"Get them to us as we planned."
The crews began scrambling looking for the exits pulling each boy with them.
"We need them safe, whatever it takes !" Screamed the leader of crew W as he typed the panel searching for the safest way out.
The leader of crew S had always been too arrogant for the others liking, "We have enough guards and gun-power its impossible the League will be able to get here in time to catch on to us" he said confidently.
Crew L just looked worriedly at the closed metal door "Why aren't we out of here now? I won't let this heroes get their hands on my creation."
The three leader began discussing, each with a different opinion but stopped as the leader of Crew R raised his hand, and fixing his glasses spoke calmly, "Fellow scientists may I propose we finally test who developed the best weapon?" They had the rivalry since the project began, aside from what they were paid and promised each had the desire to overcome the other, this was in fact the best opportunity to test it. "that is why they were made after all..." he smiled confidently and looked at the raven haired boy.
"R, stop the Leaguers until we get out of here, be sure to meet us at the rendezvous."
R nodded, the gnomes jumped away from the boys' shoulders and into the scientists'.
L, W, R, and S nodded at their head scientist and turned to the door getting into position. R grinned as they launched forward.

"BATMAN ARE YOU SURE ABOUT THIS!" Black Canary shouted in the midst of the fight, she, Superman, Flash, Green Arrow and Batman had currently entered a science facility in the outsides of metropolis, Batman had been investigating some time ago.
They were currently surrounded by guards with guns aiming for the heroes. Black Canary gave a canary cry sending 15 guards to the floor, the area had two floors, from the second you could look down to the first, Batman was fighting every guard in that floor sending punches and kicks all the way, Superman flew above using his laser vision to destroy the guns the men held. Green Arrow and Flash were helping Batman in clearing a way to the underground floors the assumed the building had.
"Its not an assumption" Batman said as he got to the elevator forcing the doors open and looking downwards, "An elevator like this, in a two story warehouse is far too much unless there are more than two.."
Flash stood behind him "Jmm, if I were Bruce Wayne I would definitely have one even if its two floors." ... That earned a glare from the dark knight, before the jumped down. And an elbow in the ribs from Green Arrow who followed down.
"We'll cover you." Canary said as she stayed with Superman and aimed to defend.
/
"They found the way down." R said curiously as he sat in the security room, from there he could control any view and weapon the facility had.
"So? Are we gonna do something or just watch?!" The ginger ushered, he was pacing back and forth with medium speed.
The Atlantean's eyes moved from side to side looking a the ginger, he looked troubled. "Perhaps we should wait for R to formulate the plan and attack, its the Justice League, we know- we were taught they are strong."
The clone who had been resting by the wall with his arms crossed grunted, "I doubt they have a chance against me... just don't get in my way."
The speedster stopped pacing, looking at the other funnily, "Hey dude, its the four of us remember and the little troll over there is the leader, The Light's orders." The speedster said, it sounded a bit as a complain.
The youngest of the four cackled "Trapped" he said to no one in particular, he typed at an almost inhuman speed as just a bunch of numbers appeared in the main screen but in the cameras you could the Batman, Flash and Green Arrow looking frantically around the medium sized room they were in.
The raven haired looked at the other three boys and smiled confidently, "Your turn L, S, W. Engage if necessary, the priority is stalling until our masters are safe."
...
They shuddered at the command. "He sure gives me the creeps sometimes." the speedster whispered to no one in particular but the other two nodded in agreement as they left the control room. The three made there way to the sub-level 6 were the alarms had been triggered, they hoped the three leaguers were enough warm up after all the time in those pods.
"And sooo, it begins." L said grinning, the other looked at him sideways. 'Who was the strongest and most capable?' this would decide.
The others nodded in agreement.
R looked amused at their antics from the control panel. He stood up and typed a code, walking out of the control panel. Two more Leaguers had activated another intruder alert.
'He couldn't let them have all the fun, could he?'
/
Green arrow fumed over the fact that they were lost in the maze until they had somehow managed to trigger a booby trap that had caged them in a spot.
"Great now where? There is no other door here and the one we got in won't open!" He said aiming an explosive arrow to one of the doors.
"Well that diiiid- nothing" Flash said as a matter of fact earning a glare from the archer, the speedster moved to every corner looking for a button, a string, a vent, something, but stopped as the room vibrated. The three almost fell over.. Batman crouched down and touched the floor, "We're moving." He said.
The single door opened forcing them to take the only route available for the time being. They were now in a bigger space that looked like a training room, two floors tall, and with a wide polarized window that appeared to be a control panel.
What made them tense however was the fact that they were not alone anymore, and the three other people that appeared, seemed to be young teens, dressed in white, staring at them confidently and readying for a fight.
Above them a polarized glass control panel.
'So L, W and S will handle Batman, Flash and Green Arrow for now, lets see how Superman and Canary are doing' he thought as he tapped on the tablet he took out of the control panel.
He was surprised to see the two heroes had defeated the guards and were making their way to the elevator hole. R smiled his blue eyes gleaming. He then put on the microphone, "You guys are better than I thought!" making Superman and Black Canary jump and look around finding the speakers.
"WHO ARE YOU!?" Demanded Superman.. as he began inspecting the room they were, but only scattered unconscious guards could be seen on the floor.
"This is wrong, the voice it seems to be young." said Canary in low voice.
"Come find out" The voice teased.
"Lets go look for the others" Superman said and so they both descended deeper into the facilities.
/
"What the heck is going on in here? Now this is really messed up!" Flashed said as he dodge the super speeded kicks and punches sent his way.. you could only see a red and a white blare moving around the room at a great speed.
The ginger-head laughed, "You have no idea, its a big ol'secret, so sad you won't get to know it."
"L" the atlantean warned. He was fighting Green Arrow cornering the hero. He stopped as a gas pallette exploded in between him and the archer.
"Who are you?" Batman asked as he threw batarangs to the clone, who in returned just gave a cry and moved forward trying to punch the dark knight. It aggravated Batman to no extent how he was actually fighting a clone of the Superman. How there was another speedster and the other had similar traits as an atlantean. 'What on fact is going on in here.' He thought.
"Hahahaha wouldn't you want to know" the ginger teased he moved backwards away for Flash with his arms open, just in time Batman used the clones impulse to change his direction. Both boys collided with each other, the remaining boy distracted didn't see the archer throw an arrow to his chest which exploded into foam, as he fell backwards the three boys got caught in the sticky foam.
"Well, I didn't even see that coming" the gingerhead muttered ashamed.
"Thats because you got in my way!" The clone shouted making the other to flinch, then trying to get free.
L fumed, "YOUR WAY?! Last thing I know, you crashed into me!" he defended.
The atlantean only sighed other the three he appeared to be the most level headed, although the speedster was actually talking to them. It was no mystery, they were here, they had superpowers and somehow they were on the other side of justice, or at least not on their side.
"Start talking" Batman demanded ignoring the fight between the two trapped boys.
"Bats is that a clone of Superman?!" Flash whispered.
Superboy glared at the comment.
"Hey don't get all high and mighty, I could defeat you all by myself.", yelled the trapped speedster.
"L, we are a team remember...Though you two seem to forget that every time." The atlantean a bit more harshly this time.
"Hey I wasn´t the one who messed up this time okay." L said flushing. S rolled his eyes before huffing.
The three leaguers stood there confused, batman glaring at the teens in front of him.
"We won't tell... It wouldn´t make any difference." The speakers sounded.
The ginger stopped in trying to get free in favor of screaming to the air. "Dude! Don't you think its time for your 'robot toys' to make an entry?"
The heroes tensed at the cackle that followed. To big doors opened at each side of the room. Two robots entered with Superman and Canary mostly unconscious trapped in their arms, the one that held superman had green glowing wrists...kryptonite.
"I win." he said grinning at the victory.
From the other door a thirteen year old walked in, he had a tablet held in his left hand. "My 'robot toys' did their job, why couldn't you guys make yours?" He said to L, S and W who were just about to complain, but before anyone could answer or complain Flash shouted exasperated.
"WHO ARE YOU?!"
