(Infinity Island, 2009)


Before Ra's knelt Lady Shiva, who's actions had resulted in a grave mistake, the loss of his designated heir. ''Please explain, how it came to be that my grandson was killed.'' Says Ra's, but everybody knew it was not a request.

''I don't know for certain my liege, only that something went wrong, he lost it and began a rampage, I have questioned David Cain on how, but haven't received much useful information.'' Replied Shiva.

Ra's stroked his chin thoughtfully, while it was true that there was a lot of bad blood between Cain and Ra's grandson, which stemmed from the elder mans treatment of his and Shiva's daughter, he didn't think it was entirely the full reason. Then there was the positioning of the blood on Shiva, and the presentation of her face, it was no clear that which had been unclear.

''You were his lover.'' Says Ra's, with slight disappointment, he'd hoped his grandson would seek a far more powerful mate, but Shiva was far from disappointing in terms of danger level to her enemies.

''I...yes, yes my liege, but it was only once I swear.'' Says Shiva, when she realises she is better off admitting it than trying to deny it.

Ra's turns away and walks towards the bubbling waters of the Lazarus Pit, a thoughtful frown on his face. ''Bring him to the pit, we must revive him.'' Ra's declares. Ubu nods and motions for several assassins to follow him. After a few moments, Ra's, is finally given the chance to see his grandsons body. He notices the faint glow to his body, the runes he'd carved on his own flesh were giving off small Arcane Energy. Hesitant to do anything, but unwilling to risk his youngest daughter's fury, Ra's eases his body into the pit himself. A small light emanates and blinds all who dare look. Soon, The boy explodes out of the water, he's panting, and while the Lazarus water on his body glistens, his breathing becomes ragged.

''Where am I? Who...am I?'' He asks, before dropping unconscious. Ra's frowns, this was not meant to happen, the boy had no idea who he was or where he was, but that didn't mean he could not remember, perhaps Psimon could be of assistance? No, that wouldn't do, Adiran was not the most popular person for Psimon, ever since Adiran had chosen to punish the Psychic with a weeks long Catatonic state after Psimon's ego had comprised a League mission that had in turn put a dozen different deep cover League operatives at risk. This left few choices for Ra's, none of them ideal.

''Father, Nyssa...she's dead.'' Says Talia, causing the Demon's Head to stiffen, his eye twitches before his face morphs into fury, Ubu noticably reacts with a similar rage, Nyssa had always treated him with kindness, and he was unable to repay her now.

''How? First Adiran, now this?!'' Ra's practically shouts.

''Cain, he's betrayed us, bastard had the gal to blame Adiran for the motive. Cassandra came to me, showed me the evidence, she clearly cares for him.'' Says Talia, giving Ra's pause.

It was now partially clearer, Ra's had long past noted how much Adiran cared for Cassandra Cain, he never anticipated it would have been enough to make the girl betray her father to get a measure of Justice for Adiran, but this was a good thing. Adiran often helped Cassandra, he'd taught her to read and write, in addition to her League training, perhaps Cassandra could help him recover his memories, first he'd have to speak to Vandal, see if Cadmus could restore his memories.


(Adiran al Ghul's quarters, Light Headquarters, Classified Location 2010)


Soft moans echoed from the Heir to The Demon's quarters, which caused the Guards at the door to be so very uncomfortable, they were new recruits, so they'd considered it a privilege to be given the assignment, until the sounds were heard. It was clear to anybody who'd had sex ed what was happening. The Mute Cassandra Cain and fearsome Warith al Ghul were in a passionate coupling session for the fifth time that day.

Unknown to the guards, it was in fact the seventh that day, the two had been at it since early morning, but muffled their actions so as not to wake everyone else up unnecessarily. Cassandra had become Adiran's lover during his recovery period, but the two had also hatched a plan to escape the League, which was what they wanted, the wished for a quiet life by the sea. Too the utter relief of the guards and any who had the misfortune of having to pass by the Guards, the moans ceased at long last.

''What...now?'' Asks Cassandra, as he lover ceases his ravishing of her to take a call in the study.

''Get your gear we're being called into light.'' Says Adiran, in annoyance, more at the interruption than anything else.

As he dons his casual robe, Adiran opens the call line. ''Yes, how can Warith al Ghul serve The Light?'' Asks Adiran, the frustration hardly hidden at all.

''Project CADMUS has stopped reporting in, you and miss Cain will investigate and report back.'' Says L-1.

''And if I encounter opposition?'' Asks Adiran.

''Try to limit your body count, but do not leave anything to chance.'' Says L-2.

''Understood, Cain and I will depart in a moment, we were currently enjoying a day off, so we are currently unablw to depart immediately, however the delay shall be a minor one.'' Says Adiran as he signs off. Adiran finds Cassandra on the bed, in her uniform, and she looks at him with a sad smile. ''What's wrong beloved? I can always ravage you again after.'' Says Adiran.

''I...pregnant.'' Says Cassandra.

''Crap, we have to accelerate our plans then, we do the mission and leave. We can begin a new life somewhere else.'' Says Adiran as he pulls Cassandra into his arms and kisses her. ''Cassie, I promise you, I promise our child, nothing will happen to us, not if I have any say in the matter.'' Says Adiran as he holds her tightly.


(Project: CADMUS)

As Adiran and Cassandra entered the area, they noticed three Sidekicks present. ''Crap, Warlock to Light, Justice League presence confirmed, three Sidekicks have just broken into CADMUS, requesting orders?'' Says Adiran.

''Acknowledged Warlock, you've permission to engage, but do not kill them, we may be able to clone them.'' Says L-3.

''Understood, Warlock out.'' Says Adiran as he and Cassandra go inside.

They find the trio at the elevator.

''You know, I could kill all three of you with full justification. But that would double my odds of not living a life free of Ra's al Ghul.'' Says Adiran as he steps into view, keeping his face obscured.

''Who are you?'' Asks Aqualad.

''I am Warith al Ghul, heir to the Demon, and I wish to defect, we wish to defect.'' Says Adiran as he shows his face.

''It's Ra's grandson!'' Says Robin.

''And the babe?'' Asks KF, causing Adiran to narrow his eyes before throwing a Knife at him.

''Her name is Cassandra Cain, and she is my beloved.'' Says Adiran in very threatening tone.

''Alright, hands off, got it.'' Says KF.

''As long as you remember it, now then, allow me to open the doors with my access.'' Says Adiran.

''Hold on, we never agreed to anything.'' Says Robin.

''You didn't have to, you are here illegally and as such have no jurisdiction, if you want unrestricted access then you have to help me out.'' Says Adiran as he and Cassandra use their access to summon a lift. Adiran and company go to sublevel twenty six, which they enter and Adiran immediately turns to Cassandra and nods for her to begin.


Adiran, Cassandra, and the Sidekicks find their way into CADMUS Sublevel twenty six power room. They mostly ignore the conversation between the Sidekicks at least until the arrival of CADMUS Security Chef. ''Well well, if it isn't Desmonds bitch.'' Says Adiran. ''Bird Wonder, see that little bastard on his shoulder go knock it's block off, elsewise we will...nevermind.'' Says Adiran, but never finishes his sentence since the Little fucker decides enough talking is done and proceeds to command him to attack.

Cassandra quickly takes a Combative stance, but a look from Adiran is all that is required to make her hang back. ''Dens eseht sretsnom ot lleh!'' Says Adiran, using Logomancy to send the GenoMorphs to hell. They quickly enter an elevator before hitting sublevel fifty two.

''Why are there three pods?'' Cassandra says to Adiran in sign.

Ignoring the two Pods marked Kr, he goes over to the Third Pod, but when he see's the contents he's left in shock. ''This doesn't make any sense.'' Says Adiran. He is quickly struck from behind knocking his ass out.


Adiran awoke chained in a pod. ''So, the rumors were true, Superkids are a thing. Tell me something, does it please you two to hurt your bosses enforcer? Or perhaps the mother of his unborn child? And you yourselves Super? Desmond get me out of here know!'' Says Adiran.

''I think not, see unlike the you in the pod from before your just a clone.'' Says Desmond dismissively.

''That's not possible.'' Says Adiran.

''Oh but it is, you see the original Adiran al Ghul proved unrecoverable, so Ra's permitted the Light to make a Clone of him, provided that the Clone received additional DNA augmentation, unfortunately while you do posses such augments you are unable to use much of them, but perhaps we can start over.'' Says Desmond as he chemically induces him into sleep


''Ugh, why does it feel like my induction ceremonies aftermath? I haven't been this hungover since. Uhh, while am I being cradled by Cassandra in a Bubble of Lantern Energy?'' Asks Adiran.

''Pending probationary examination and observation, you two shall be permitted to be part of the team.'' Says Batman.

''My one condition is the protection of the child and Cassandra, at any cost.' Says Adiran.

''That's not unreasonable.'' Says Wonder Woman.

'' Agreed, but we require your full cooperation.'' Says Batman.

''Keep them safe, honor the agreement, and don't ever treat us like children or slaves, and I will gladly work with you.'' Says Adiran.


(S.T.A.R Labs, Central City)


Adiran sat in an examination room awaiting the results of the tests. Flash, Batman, Wonder Woman, and The Martian Manhunter entered. Zatara, Captain Atom, and Black Canary soon follow, Cassandra in tow. ''What's the verdict?'' Asks Adiran.

''Based upon CADMUS Records, our own tests, and Miss Cain's information, it seems you are no longer fully human, instead the League has chosen to classify you as an Ultra-Human.'' Says Batman.

A raised eyebrow directed at Wonder Woman prompts a better response.

''Your DNA Is only a fraction of the Human it once was, you now posses the Cells of Superman, my Amazon Sisters, The Atlanteans, and some Magical Source.'' Says Wonder Woman.

''Huh, seems that I have a ton of potentially latent powers, and here I thought Sorcery was my only Power. What about the Team, Outside of my League name I've no real identity, and if I'm gonna be free I need an Identity.'' Says Adiran.

''Yes, well in order to protect you both we'd like to split you apart until the baby is born, at least as Civilians. I've spoken to Bruce Wayne, he's agreed to temporarily and formally adopt Cassandra.'' Says Batman.

''And me? Where am I to go?'' Asks Adiran.

''That's up to you entirely, Zatara, Black Canary, and Captain Atom have offered to take you in for now.'' Says Flash.

''What if I did all three cyclically, moving between the three could confuse my grandfather, and keep things stable, if one is busy two may take their place?'' Suggests Adiran.

''And your name? Who shall we call you?'' Asks The Manhunter.

''Desmond claims I am a CADMUS Clone, like the Super Twins, but I don't know for sure, however, A name change would be a further measure against being found, call me...Lincoln, Lincoln King.'' Says the now Former Adiran.
