I was asleep. Now normally I wouldn't be able to think clearly in this state, but I felt more like a prisoner in my own body. I could feel these… creatures at the edge of my mind keeping me under their control, unresponsive.

I could also feel new information entering my mind, as if it has always been there. I felt… weird. I had a clear sense of self despite me never truly awakening from this slumber I am in. Was everything I remembered a lie?

I could not tell the difference between the recollections of a face and body different from what the mental image that these creatures have given me of my body.

Was this 'Chase' real? Was it all fake? Why did I know his life? His struggles? His victories? Why did I feel like I was this 'Chase' and that his memories were my own?

I continued to exist in the prison that is my body. I started to go over what I 'knew'. I had the memories of this 'Chase', and I think that I am him, but I am unsure due to the creatures surrounding my mind.

I had a feeling that they were responsible for myself being aware, and possibly detached from those memories.

I had full access to the information that they have been feeding me since I had become aware. The most intriguing thing I could find was on the topic of magic of all things.

I knew what it was through the bland definitions that I was provided. Everything felt empty. I focused back upon the 'Chase's' memories… my memories now, I guess. I mentally grabbed. The memories and tried my best to take control of them. They quickly stopped separating the memories from whatever I was now.

I am Chase now in all sense of the word.

I was now also panicking. I was literally trapped in my own body. HOLY FUCK! I started to lash out toward those creatures that I could feel. They easily worked together to fight off my assault.

I backed off, that wasn't working.

Shit, how would Superman do this? I was created to help Superboy replace him!

…

Fuck

They had taught me that Superman was real. I as Chase did not remember Superman being real, he was a comic book character. What was going on? That clearly didn't make sense.

I tried to draw upon my magic and use it to cast a spell, but I had technically never done it before.

The creatures didn't do anything as I slowly got the hang on my magic. As soon as I managed to get my mana to work for me, I realized that I was taught nothing about magic to help me fight with minds… I could defend mine, but it would be pointless as I was outnumbered and still completely new to this.

I really should start thinking things through.

I couldn't even strike at their physical bodies as I had no damn idea where they were or what they looked like. I spent a while trying to break out of their grip before I was suddenly AWARE of everything around me. I went unconscious due to the sensory overload before I was awake, and I need to stop these intruders.

Another, who looked like a younger me hit Kid Flash while I took out Aqualad and Robin.

…

Why was I fighting the good guys? I pause for a second before continuing. It wasn't for me to find out, I was going to move these guys before returning to my pod.

I didn't want to return to my pod though.

I want to see the world with my two eyes, not be trapped in some small cage. I paused again but I continued, nonetheless. I wonder if the sidekicks would bring me along if I helped them escape?

Also, how the hell was I thinking this? I was sure that the thing would have controlled me after I said that I wanted to escape.

I'll figure it out later. We made it to this room where the Sidekicks were hooked up to these machines. I noticed my younger brother. Staring at the three sidekicks.

I knew this scene. It was in a Tv show called Young Justice. I moved up next to my brother as the sidekicks began to wake up. They talked for a bit I watched for a bit, they looked to me for a response after a bit. I didn't respond, but my shoulders slumped a bit.

Lab Coat dude and the golden helmet guy ordered us back to our pods. We were walking there when we heard Aqualad whisper. Superboy hesitated, and for the first time I spoke.

"Have you come to a decision?"

"Yes."

"Then let us go"

And like that we went back and Superboy tore off the door. I moved forward behind him and used my magic to conjure ropes around everyone in the room.

I move forward and shatter the nearest container, the one that holds Aqualad, I removed his restraints and destroyed the container with his blood. I turned to Superboy who was hesitating. "Well? Are you going to help?" he growled back at me, and freed Kid Flash. Robin managed to get out on his own. I grab Aqualad and Superboy grabs Kid Flash and we start to leave. Lab Coat dude shouts at us.

I toss a fireball behind me. It wouldn't kill, but it would certainly damage him and possibly prevent him from moving on his own for a bit. Aqualad made a look at me, but I ignored it for now.

We were able to make it to the elevator doors before the creatures began to awaken en masse. I looked through my still assimilating magical knowledge and didn't have enough experience to make a barrier strong enough, so like superboy, we charged into battle. I went knife hands and channeled my mana along them and made them into foot long blades that I used to hack through the creatures.

They were unable to hurt me. One of them eventually pried open the elevator doors, everyone started to go up. Superboy made a leap and made it up a bit before he began to fall. I didn't try to fly.

My memories of the series telling me that I would be unable to do so. I leaped for the side of the shaft and used my durability and strength to forcefully make hand and foot holds. We managed to get to sub-level 15 before we were forced out of the shaft by the elevator.

We started to run; I threw up a smokescreen behind me. We were lucky that summoning or creating simple objects is easy.

I heard a voice in my head telling me to go left. I was about to speak when Superboy verbalized it before me. We went a bit further before I heard the voice telling us to go right. It led us to a dead end with a vent. We ended up going in the vents and we eventually got out near the emergency staircase.

Apparently, Robin hacked the motion sensors. We managed to make it to sub-level one, but a door cut us off from the surface and more genomorphs would have gotten to us before Robin could open it.

We ran for a bit around sub-level one before we got surrounded. Kind Flash, Robin, and Aqualad collapsed while Superboy and I were forced to our knees.

"Perhaps for the sake of all Genomorphs our brothers Superboy and Warlock should make up their minds"

Said the blue one to my mind. He was the one who gave us the directions earlier.

If you can hear me, thank you.

The blue guy nodded, and I heard

"you're welcome"

I really need to start practicing my mental defenses.

"It was you"

Superboy spoke. Ah I guess he figured out what blue dude did. What was his name again, Dubblix or something?

"Yes, brother. I set the fire and lured your new friends into Cadmus, woke them when they were in danger-"

"And guided us"

Superboy finished.

"Why?"

"Because you two are our hopes, the Genomorph heroes. You two will blaze a trail for all our brothers, showing us the path to freedom."

Everyone was starting to wake up and the Golden helmet guy was apparently no longer being mined controlled.

"What are your choices my brothers?"

"Freedom"

I spoke. Superboy followed up with

"I choose freedom"

Desmond appeared and drank some serum. I wasn't completely paying attention as I had a minute as the transformation set in.

I casted the mental defense spell that they taught me and wasn't going to give anyone any more chances to get in my head.

Once Desmond, I figured that out because of his name tag, finished his transformation, he easily knocked aside the golden helmet guy, and Superboy rushed in to fight him like an idiot. We have no idea what abilities this guy could have, well, I had an idea, but didn't want to rely on my so-called future knowledge all too much.

He threw Superboy through the ceiling and everyone else including me used it as a way to finally get to the ground floor. Desmond tried to confine Superboy by holding his arms, but Superboy managed to break free, so Desmond threw Superboy at us. It ended up hitting Aqualad. I rushed forward and used more of my mana to create the blades around my hands again. I rushed forward and he moved to block me, his mistake, as it gave me a good opportunity to duck down and cut his legs. I only managed to cut through half on one of them, but I continued to move.

Kid Flash helped to distract Desmond from me as I swung again at the same leg, this time causing the limb to fall off. He wasn't bleeding though because the heat of my magic plasma blade cauterized the wound.

He lacked a lot of mobility missing one leg, so we all ganged up on his prone form on the ground. I along with Superboy ended up punching the guy into submission. We made our way outside.

It was then that we saw superman descend from in front of the moon. The other league members descended around him. They were all quiet.

I wonder if my existence is going to alter this scene. It didn't, Superboy wanted Superman's affections and declared himself a clone of Superman via the symbol on our chests.

I wasn't paying attention and was deciding if I should use the name in my memories or make myself a new one. I'll just go with Chase, I'll 'give' myself a last name later.

The three sidekicks got interrogated for a bit before some of the group left with Desmond. In the end Superboy made his ultimatum with the rest of the sidekicks, I moved up next to them. So, we were standing next to each other.

I was honestly surprised that nobody was really expecting me to speak. Then again, I had been silent the whole time. I had been reviewing my knowledge about magic, and boy I could cause some damage.

I could do a bunch of different things, they had programmed in all sorts of knowledge, including crafting magical items, rituals, spells for outside of battle, spells for battle, spells for defense, and some ease of life spells as well.

I personally enjoyed that I know how to make functions magical shortcuts when it comes to ingredients, I can't do it for anything absolutely vital to the ritual, but I could for instance use lizard blood from any lizard with the word dragon in its name in place of dragon blood for a ritual with mostly the same success.

I am definitely making myself and everyone else some magical equipment. I should also get a league member to watch me as I know 'how' to do things but have never actually done them. I wonder if they have D&D here, I could probably use their spells to get some ideas for my own.

The team was now formed. I could only hope that M'gann goes after Superboy and not me. That and that Zatara has some time to help me make sure I don't kill myself or something like that.

July 8th: 4 days later

I was now living in a mountain. A mountain that used to be the base of operations for the Justice League before the location was compromised. That meant the VILLAINS KNEW WHERE IT WAS!

Anyway, panic aside, I was now a superhero. M'gann was noticeably skittish around me as my mind wasn't really 'open'. I allowed an opening for telepathy-based communication, but otherwise shielded all of my thoughts and memories.

I had not slacked off on trying to get used to using magic. She ended up gravitating to Superboy instead of me, I could already see her crush on him. Kid Flash was also being a horrible flirt.

Side note, they did in fact have D&D here, so I looked a bit further and found that they had Magic: The Gathering as well. I was probably going to be sued for copyright infringement, but by god, I will be using their creations for inspiration.

I was planning on asking Red Tornado if he knew anybody who would be open to help me get a handle on my magic.

I decided to not ask Zatara as he had work for the League to do and a daughter, and combined with the likely scenario that he ends up as the host for Nabu, I might be able to stop that if I can make an appealing enough compromise to Nabu though. Anyway, I wasn't going to tear him away from his possibly limited time left with his daughter.

We dispersed after that and went to do our own things. I went to my room and found it with the bare minimums necessary.

I was going to have to go shopping at some point to get some more clothing and some stuff to personalize my room with. I explored the cave a bit before I made my way over to Red Tornado, who was still here.

"Red Tornado" I stated.

"Yes, Warlock?"

"I have a couple of questions; would you mind answering them?"

"I have no problems doing that."

"Thank you."

I took a breath before continuing.

"I would like to ask if you are still in contact with Dr. Fate?"

I created an orb of light floating above my hand.

"I am able to perform magic and because of Cadmus I have the required knowledge to use it but have no actual experience. Dr. Fate is a retired superhero and I would be thankful if you could ask him on my behalf for some guidance on the topic of magic."

"I can ask Kent Nelson, who was Dr. Fate, about your request. Why did you not make a request to Batman about receiving guidance from Zatara?"

"I had originally thought to do so, but realized that he was the best magic user on the league and with so few other members knowing magic, I thought it would be best to leave the League's expert on magic alone so that he is available for issues that involve magic."

"Understandable, do you have any other questions?"

"Yes, I would like to ask about money. Superboy and I have just recently been released into this world, and I have knowledge of how to create magical items, I wish to create some to help protect the team but lack the materials. I would also like to purchase some clothing and possibly a few other things that I believe would help me develop my magic."

"I will ask Batman about your inquiries."

"Thank you"

And like that, I just had the longest conversation of my life.

I really need to learn how to properly fight.
