Soooo I kind of forgot to tell you all that the last chapter was a year before the series began. Sorry about that.
Luna is about 14 in the last chapter and at the beginning of this chapter. When the series starts she will be 15 so she's a year or two older than Robin.
I also want to let you know that English is not my first language.

Investigation
"Run!" a woman kept on screaming. "Don't turn! Whatever you do never turn around! Keep going, Luna." It was there that voice she knew. In that moment she heard that voice she knew she was dreaming, it was the same dream that hunted her very night. It had been one week since she had arrived in Gotham and hadn't had that dream. Of course that didn't mean it wouldn't return, she should have known. The girl turn in her bed trying to open her eyes as they moved from side to side under her eyelids. Her whole body tense as the dream became more detail. She waited for the moment she knew would come.
"Mom!" she yelled trying to turn around as she kept running in the dark corridor. Her eyes never leaving the door she was close to getting to. It was their way out, the only door that was not guarded, perhaps because their captive knew what was at the other side of that door. They were in the middle of nowhere, with no place for them to run. Her mother though didn't care, she made it so they got out of their cage prison and away from the people guarding her. She told Luna to trust her and to do what she said, even when the girl had a very bad feeling about her mother's words and plan, she still did as told. Now, she regretted that decision. "Where almost here," she yelled as she was just a few feet from grabbing the door knob. Her finger touched the cold metal and turn the knob, pushing the door.
For just a second she turn and in that seconds she saw her worst nightmare. "Don't turn!" her mother had yelled just as the girl had looked at her.
Luna's eyes widen as she saw her mother bloody with a sword piercing her stomach, dark red liquid drip to the floor as her mother held to the side of the wall her captive right behind her. Her eyes widen as she felt numb, "No! Mom!" She got ready to ran towards her mother when an explosion was set off. Sending her back out of the door and into the water.
In that moment Luna's eyes flew open as she let out a sorrowful scream. Her eyes were wet with tears that trailed down her cheek. Her hand automatically moved to her ears as she closed her eyes trying to get that image from her head. After a few seconds one of her hands moved to her mouth to stop the sound of her sobbing. All she wanted was to forget about that tragic day, but no matter what happen it was there in her dreams every night. She thought staying with her father would help, he always had a way of making the bad things go away. He was her shield, her hero, the one person who made everything alright again. So why, Why were her dreams still hunting her every night?
"Luna?" a voice caller her making her open her eyes. It took a while for her to calm down and look at the boy in front of her. Her eyes were glassy from the tears that kept streaming down her face. Without giving it much thought Dick had ran to her side as the girl had screamed, his hands on her shoulder waited for the girl to focused her attention on him. Then his attention shifted to the wall behind her. As her vision clear she saw Dick's eyes widen at the sight before him.
Luna looked at him in confused then turn slowly to look behind her. With wide eyes she scramble away from the wall as shadows spread along her wall looking like thick branches that moved from side to side. This wasn't the first time she had seen this happen, but every time she saw this it frighten her. Both teens looked at one another before hearing someone walk into the room. They turn to see Bruce and Alfred in the room looking at the shadows with a shocking look.
The girl turn back to the wall as the shadows faded away. She turn and lower her eyes as she hugged her knees. Soon she felt the touch of her father, but refused to look up. All she wanted was for everything to go back to the way it was before. To go back to the time were they were a family, her happy days, but she knew those days were long gone and her mother would never come back.
One year later...
"I try to see what I had long sense lost. A world that was once light is now nothing but black. I have fallen deeper and deeper in the darkness without giving much a fight. Oh, how my days were once bright, but now it's all in the past. No more light have I see. None that are close to me." The girl mutter with her eyes closed. With a sigh the hazel eyes open as she stretch her arms.
"That," she turn to Alfred who was next to her. A cup of tea in his hand to which the girl took and gave a thanks, "is a nice poem, Miss Luna. A bit sad for my taste, but good nonetheless."
Luna gave a small laugh, "I know it's sad. I was reading Edgar Allen Poe when I thought of it." She took a sip from her tea and smiled in delight. "You know how I love horror books and reading dark poems."
"Yes, I know. Your mother used to read them to you when you were little," He replied as he began to walk away. At a young age her mother tried to read to her books of princess and such only to find out Luna had no interest in that. She wanted something that had a little bit of darkness to it. So with nothing else to lose, except for a child that could be scared of the dark or of being alone, she read to her some scary book or poetry that had some dark into it. To both her parents surprise their daughter loved it. "You always liked the night rather than daytime." Alfred glanced at Bruce who was near by, "Then again you got that from both your parents, it seems." Luna gave a small giggle as the butler left.
Taking one last sip from her tea she set the cup down before crossing her arms and looking around. Her father and brother were finishing getting ready to head to the Justice League Hall. Unlike them, she was already dress and ready to go in her black jeans and combat boot along with a black and silver vest and black medium length sleeves shirt. A pouch was to the girls right side waist and the other in the girls left thigh, black gloves cover her hands. Her short hooded cape flowing behind her, her hood was currently of. A black mask with silver designs cover most of her face with the eyes, unlike her father and brother, were visible as they turn different color when she was using her powers or when she was in her outfit. Her eyes once hazel were now silver along with her hair that gain a few streaks of silver and was braid back.
As she waited for them the girl's thought wounder to why on earth her father had decided she would be going to the justice league hall. Sure, she wanted to know what was there, but she wasn't dumb. She knew there was something behind her father agreeing to let them go. The only reason why she hadn't spoken up about it was because of the exciting face of her brother. Dick hadn't stop talking about how today was the big day and she wasn't about to crush her little brothers dream. She let out a sigh, bored at doing nothing. "Do I have to go, father?" she asked as her father who was now looking at a few papers from work.
He looked back with a frown. He thought she would be excited to come with them, seemed he was wrong. Lately the girl had became more serious and careful with what she did and that worried him. "What's wrong, Luna?" he asked as he left his papers alone and walked towards her. His daughter was always going to be more important than paperwork that he could finish later.
Luna look up at her father from where she was sitting in front of the batcave computer. Leaning on the chair she sigh, "Nothing's wrong," she began but by the look on her father's face she knew he didn't believe that. "I'm just worried that I might lose control of my powers. What if I hurt somebody or worse, I end up absorbing someone's energy." Even if her powers were a few and two-three were rather nothing special she still had her power of manipulating the shadows. Thankfully with the help of her father she had gotten better at controlling them and absorbing peoples energy was not much of a problem to her anymore, but it still worried her. Even if they weren't as strong as her mother and her father was human, he had learned a lot about her mother's powers when they were still together. That had helped him train her in order not to end up absorbing someones energy unintentionally.
Robin looked her ways as he heard what she said, "Oh come on, Luna blue," the boy said making her raise an eyebrow. She regretted ever wanting to dye her hair blue, now the boy called her that everyday. "You're going to be alright. It's been a year since you've got your powers and you haven't lost control, besides don't you want to see the league?"
Luna looked back at him and rolled her eyes. He was using that cheerful smile that just made her go along with whatever crazy plan the boy had. Sure, she was also like that being cheerful and sometimes pranking people, but she also had a serious side- courtesy of her father- and has become even more serious a she learns to control her powers.
The girl shrugged, "Not really," she replied. "It's just the Justice League hall. What's so special about that?"
"Come on! It's a big deal!" the boy exclaimed as he looked at her with a surprised look. He was sure she would be excited to see the hall as he was, but she hadn't really taken any interest in it whatsoever. "We're one step closer to becoming part of the League."
Luna rolled her eyes again. She loved her brother, but did he really wanted to be part of the league so badly? She look up at him and pointed a finger at him, "You mean you're one step closer to becoming part of the League. I just started and you can't expect me to be part of it after just one year of being a hero." She turn to the screen where the news reporter was talking, "no one even knows who I am."
Robin looked at her, "Do you always have to be so negative? What happen to the bright Luna! She was more fun!"
She looked at him and laughed, "I'm just being realistic. I just don't care whether I'm part of the league or not. What's wrong with that?" She gave a laugh and smiled brightly at her brothers pouting. He was cute when he pouted like that. Before she could say anything the computer began to beep and before she had time to even turn around, Robin was already pushing her away. "Hey!" she protested as she rolled away from the computer, her father grabbed the chair and he looked at the boy.
"It's Mr. Freeze! He's in central park," Robing said before taking off.
"Robin!" the girl yelled but the boy was already gone. She shook her head as she stood then looked back at her father. "He really can't wait can he?"
He raise an eyebrow as he looked at her with an amusing look in his face. "Aren't you like that as well?" he asked .
"Me?" she said then waved her hand dismissively, "No way." She glance at her father as he had his eyebrow raised not believing the girl at all. She huffed before putting her hood on, turning around, and leaving.
A shadow moved along the dark grass in Gotham city park. Minutes later Luna emerge from the shadow. She put her hand on a nearby tree, "I will never get use to shadow traveling, will I?" she asked herself. Looking around she saw people trying to run away before getting frozen."Yep, I'm definitely in the right place. Now where's that boy," she looked around trying to spot her brother. It would have been hard to spot him if it wasn't by the fact that her eyesight was more sharper than humans. Another perk she got from her alien mother. It was still hard to consider her mother was an alien, but then again she was more human than any of the aliens they had meet or had landed on earth.
A family looked at the villain as he stood in front of them in a high rock. "Enjoying family time?" he said. The father hugged both of his children before they were frozen by Mr. Freeze. "My family has other plans," he slid down the frozen family and looked at the other people ruining away. He aim his gun at them, but before he could fire he was hit by a batarang and was pushed to the side.
He looked from the corner of his eyes to where the object was thrown from. "Batman," he said before turning and pointing his gun towards the forest, "I was wondering when-" only to fined no one there. He looked at the forest before he heard the sound of laughter. He looked to the sides looking for the owner of the voice. Seconds later he was hit on his head protected as his feet were pulled by his own shadow. He fell to the ground as the boy landed in front of him. His glass helmet cracked as he looked up at the boy.
"Did you really have to go ahead without me?" a voice in the boys shadow said. The shadow rose up and the girl came to view. She punched the boy in the arm making him turn to her as he rubbed his arm. "That's for leaving me." They turn to the man on the ground who was looking at them.
"Oh, boy wounder and.." he trailer off taking her appearance and remembering having battle her once, "Eclipse."
Eclipse raised an eyebrow as Robin smacked her arm. "See they remember you," he replied to the comment she had made earlier in the batcave. She just rolled her eyed, but gave a smile.
They watched as the villain stood up, "The bat sent you two to send me off to prison?" he said making them turn to one another before looking back ahead. "Frankly, I'm underwhelmed."
Robing looked behind the villain, "Great, but I'm kind in a hurry here," he stated making Eclipse roll her eyes. He just couldn't stay still could he? She just hope he didn't get his spirit broken later.
"Kids always in a rush," Mr. Freeze said with a smirk as he pointed his gun at them.
Eclipse smiled as she clap her hand behind her back leaning at the heals of her feet. "Hes not talking to you~" she sang.
Mr. Freeze eye's widen as he turn around and saw batman jump from the hill, his cape wide open like bat wings. Before hitting hing him on the head shattering his glass helmet. Eclipse watched as he fell to the ground unconscious. She rolled her eyes, "always with a dramatic entrance," she thought even though she loved to see her father come in like the hero he was.
"Come on! come on!"Robin said as he walked to batman. "Let go already!"
Eclipse shook her head at her brothers excitement. She turn around ready to sneak away, hoping they didn't see her. Of course her father had already expected that kind of reaction from her. Before she knew it she was grabbed from behind. She turn to see her father with a raised eyebrow, "Oh, come on!" she let out as she raised her hands in the air, "Do I have to go?" She looked at him with pleading eyes hopping to change his mind.
Her father looked at her for a few minutes. He could say no and let her go, but what was she going to do at home? She was beginning to fear what she was given and he didn't want that. He also didn't what her to end up going out of the mansion and explore around the city because she was bored. Even if he knew she could handle herself, he knew they could be looking for her, especially now that her powers seemed to be getting stronger. So with a serious look he answer, "Yes."
Eclipse groan and drop her head as she followed them towards the Justice League Hall.
With the other young hero's...
Star city
Icicle Junior drop down onto a bridge in the middle of cars pacing by. Ice cover the road as his feet, he raised his hands making a small ice slide. Cars flip as they came close to the Ice, some end up going over the wall like a ramp and crashing on other cars. He holler in delight before laughing like a maniac. As he laughed three arrows were shot to his side making him turn before more arrows were shot at him. One pierce his arm before it began to beep and flash red, seconds later it exploded. Junior shook his head and turn to look at who had shot him. On top of the bridge tower stood green arrow and speedy both aiming arrows at him.
"Finally, I was wondering what a guy had to do to get some attention around here," he said. He made his ice arms bulkier before shooting spiked of ice at them.
"Is Junior doing this for attention?" speedy said as they fire their arrows at the spikes coming closer to then moved to the side to avoid the rest heading their way and sliding down the main cored. "I'm telling you now. This little distraction better not interfere," the boy was rather irritated by the villain. They dodged all of the spike and aimed at the ice boy.
Junior made a shield of ice as the arrows piers the shield before exploding. In the small opening of his shield the ice boy aimed at Speedy and send another few spikes at the teen. Speedy having seen them did a back flip and grabbed his arrow, aimed, and release. The arrow went threw the hole and hit junior on the face making him fall and hit his head on the ground.
Green arrow looked at the unconscious ice boy as speedy landed not far from his side. Chuckling the older man turn slightly towards him. "Kid has a glass jaw," he joked.
"Hilarious," he comment dryly as he walked towards his mentor. "Can we go now? Today's the big day."
"Alright," green arrow said before looking back at the unconscious villain. Both then began to leave as the police was almost close to them. "I heard Batman is bringing Eclipse."
Speedy glanced at green arrow before continuing walking. "Why her? She has only been a hero for a year, unlike us," he question.
Green arrow raised an eyebrow, "I thought you would enjoy knowing she was there."
Speedy didn't answer and instead kept on walking. He didn't completely truest Eclipse, but didn't have any issue with her either.
Pearl harbor...
In the middle of the ocean stood a ship frozen by Killer frost who was currently fighting Aquaman. The king of the ocean dodged the blast of ice that were heading his way. Jumping down from on top of the observing deck, but wasn't fast enough to dodged the blast that was sent at him, freezing him in place. Aqualad moved to the side and headed forward as Aquaman shatter the ice that surrounded hid body.
The older man followed his sidekick, "Don't tell me you're not excited," he said.
"Right now, my king," Aqualad began without turning back, "I rather focused on the matter at hand." They moved from all of the blast of ice that were thrown at him. He jumped up and grabbed his water-bearers turning them into spiked mallet. Before he could hit killer frost the woman froze his water weapon along with his hands. Aqualad landed in front of her kneeling down with his hands frozen in front of him before looking up at her and hitting her with the frozen weapons. Killer frost fell back laying down unconscious.
Aqualad put his weapons away and turn to his king. "Well?" the older man asked.
"Yes, I'm excited," the teenage boy replied, "Today's the day."
Central city...
Flash and kid flash ran at high speed as Captain frost shot ice beams at them. That only ended up missing and hitting other objects. "Stealing ice? Seriously?" Flash said as he kept on running, "Isn't that a bit cliche even for captain cold?"
Kid flash became impatient at not getting to were they wanted to be. "Come on! We don't have time for this!" he said as he put his goggles on and speed straight towards captain cold. He barely avoided the ice that could have frozen him before taking the villains weapon. Soon Flash punched him on the face knocking him out.
"Calm down, kid," Flash commented.
"Oh, please!" the teenage boy replied as he walked towards his mentor. "You'll chat it up with the cops, with bystanders, with cold even. No. No way! Today's the day!" His face showed excitement the same as the other sidekicks had. Well.. with the exception of one.
Washington, D.C...
The hero's stood in front of the hall of justice with their sidekicks to their sides. Eclipse stood next to Robin with a bored expression as her arms were cross. "Today's the day," batman said as he put a hand on Robins shoulder and smile at him. His eyes turn to his daughter only for her to be.. distracted by the ducks walking by. He let out a silent sigh and the girl turn to him giving an innocent smile.
"Welcome to the Hall of Justice League," Green arrow said as he ignored the looks Batman and Eclipse were giving one another.
"Headquarters of the Justice League," Aquaman said. Eclipse looked at the building unimpressed, she just wanted to go home and finish her book. It was getting to the good part when her father had called her down.
"Oh, man!" a familiar voice whined making them all turn as Flash and kid flash stop in front of them. "I knew we'd be the last ones here." He then turn to Eclipse who was smiling at him. "Hey, Liz! You came too," both teens meet thanks to Robin who had introduce Eclipse to Kid Flash senses then both became best friends.
"Hey, KF," the girl greeted back. She then shrugged a shoulder, "Yeah, I kind of had to." She glanced at her father who only raised an eyebrow. She turn back to the boy with a wide smile before they all headed towards the building a few feet from them.
Eclipse kept her eyes on the sky as she walked along side Batman. She could feel the peoples eyes on her as she kept on walking. Her eyes caste down as her hands were at her side, "Hey look, people," the girl mutter. She was kind and cheerful, but not very sociable. Usually all she wanted to do was read nothing more. She could hear then all talking about the other well know hero's and their sidekicks walked in front of them. Eclipse began to snicker when one of the bystanders called Kid Flash, Flash jr. The boy turn to her with an annoying look before turning back. Her ears peaked up as she heard some of them talking about her.
"Who's that?" one asked.
"She seams close to Batman maybe a new sidekick?" another guessed.
"No way! Why would Batman take another sidekick and someone like her?" she clenched her hand into fist at that last comment. Someone like her? What was that supposed to mean?!
Batman looked at the girl having also heard the comment. He put a hand on her shoulder making her turn to him. "Are you alright?" he mentally asked.
Eclipse turn back ahead and gave a small shrugged. "I've never really care for what people say about me, but.." she didn't know what to think. Now that she was a superhero her whole actions would be viewed by the world. Not that she would care what they all said about her, but now that they saw her next to Batman what would they say about him now that he has a new sidekick. The girl let out a sigh, "what are they going to think about you, father, if I mess up? I don't want them to think bad about you because of me." The girl was quite thankful that she could talk to her father mentally without the others hearing.
"Is that why you didn't want to come with us?" he asked as he looked down at the girl. "Because you didn't want them to see us together?"
Eclipse look to the side as she fiddle with her hands. "Welllll, kind of. I also wanted to finish that book you just got me. It is really good by the way. What I said before wasn't a lie either. I am a bit afraid all lose control of my powers, but yeah for the most part it is."
"It doesn't matter what other's think, Luna." Her father said as he looked ahead. "It doesn't matter to me and it shouldn't matter to you. Don't worry about."
Eclipse glanced at her father from the corner of her eyes and gave a bright smile. Her hands moved to her back as her cheerful mood came back. "Okay, Papa," she replied while using the name she usually called him.
As the father and daughter had been mentally talking, Green arrow leaned forwards to speak to Speedy, "Ready to see the inner sanctum?"
Speedy glanced back at him before looking ahead, "Born that way."
Cameras flash from around them making the girl groan in annoyance. "I hate cameras," she commented.
"At least now they'll know who you are," Robin said as he turn to his sister. Who only rolled her eyes at him.
Aqualad turn to glance at the other sidekicks, "I'm glade were all here and that you were able to join us, Eclipse." The girls smiled at him, while she didn't have the same friendship as Kid Flash and her have she couldn't dismiss the fact that she consider Aqualad a great friend as well. As for speedy.. well he was a different story.
"Have all five sidekicks ever been in the same place at the same time?"Kid Flash said excitedly.
"Don't call us sidekicks," Speedy said his voice a bit hard, "not after today." And that's why she had certain issues with him.
Eclipse rolled her eyes and before she could say anything Kid Flash apologized. "Sorry. First time at the hall. I'm a little overwhelmed."
Robin looked back at them, "You're overwhelmed, freeze was underwhelmed," the boy began making Eclipse roll her eyes as what he was saying. "Why isn't anyone ever just whelmed?" They kept on walking until they enter the building. The girls eyes widen at the sight before her. In front on them were the statues of the founding members of the Justice league. Her father was next to superman. "Maybe that's why."
"Hello expectation," the girl mentally said. She turn to her father knowing he may have heard that and by the look in his face she knew he had. "Sorry."
They all stop in front of two metal doors that had a sign Authorized Personal Only. Seconds latter it slid open to reveal red tornado and martian manhunter. "Robin, Speedy, Aqualad, Kid Flash," he then turn to Eclipse who looked at him, "Eclipse. Welcome. You now have unlimited access to the gym, our fully stocked Gallery," he informed as they walked in to a small room fill with books "and of course our library."
Eclipse looked around, "Well hello. I think I just found the place were I'm going to spend my days in," she said as Batman smiled down at her.
Flash turn to them as the other's kept walking forward, "Make yourself at home." Both Kid Flash and Robin sat next to each other as Aqualad sat across from them. Eclipse wasted to time and left to check out the books, while speedy stayed standing next to the boys.
Batman stood in front of the other hero's as he began to speak. "Quick debrief to discuss the coincidence of four ice villains attacking on the same day," he said making Eclipse turn to him for a few seconds before going back to looking at the books. Of course that didn't mean she wasn't paying attention to their conversation. "We shouldn't be long." From in front of them was another door and from the top lower ceiling came down a scanner.
Eclipse watched as it began to scan all of the adults and spoke some numbers after saying their names. The door open and before they could leave an irritated voice stop them. "That's it?" speedy said as they turn to him, "You promise us areal look inside, not a glorified backstage pass."
The girl left the book before walking to stand next to Aqualad. "It's a first step," Aquaman began, "You've been granted access few don't get."
That only irritated Speedy more, "Oh, really?" he said sarcastically as he gestured to the window on the side of the ceiling were people were taking pictures. Eclipse could already know what was going to happen. Speedy turn back to them, "Who cares what side of the glass we're on!"
Green arrow step closer to the boy, "Roy, you just need to be patient," he said.
"What I need is respect!" the boy replied back before turning to the others. "They're treating like kids. Worse, like sidekicks! We deserve better than this!" the other boys didn't say anything. While Eclipse had already expected something like this she couldn't help, but agree with him. It was a surprise that she even agreed with him and she was taken back by that. But there was also a part of her that agreed with her father and the older hero's on the decision they took. The other boys looked at one another and even turn to Eclipse who said nothing and stayed quite. "You're kidding, right? You're playing by their game?" the older teen became more irritated as time past by and at the fact that the other sidekicks didn't agree with him. "Why? Today was supposed to be the day, step one in becoming full-fledged members of the league."
"Well.. sure," Kid Flash agreed as he glanced at the others, "but I thought step one was a tour of the HQ."
"Except the Hall isn't the League's real HQ," Speedy informed making the older hero's looked at him in surprise. Eclipse frowned at this and uncrossed her arms as she looked at her father. Had he really hid something from them, from her. "I bet they never told you it's just a false front for tourist and a pit stop for catching zeta-beam teleportation tubes to the real thing, an orbiting satellite called the watchtower."
Eclipse turn to her father and saw Green arrow doing the same. Batman crossed his arms as he looked at Green arrow. "I know, I know, but I thought... we could make an exception," green arrow suggested. Batman only narrow his eyes clearly showing his displease. "or not."
Aquaman stepped in, "You're not helping your cause her, son," he said trying to calm the boy down, "Stand down or-"
"Or what?" Speedy interrupted, "You'll going to sen me to my room? And I'm not your son!" He then turn to his mentor. He felt betrayed by the man he thought trusted him, "I'm not even his. I thought I was his partner," his voice became soft for a second before he took his hat off and threw it on the ground, "but not anymore." He then turn around and began to walk away, as he past the other sidekick's he looked at them. "Guess they're right about you three. You're not ready." The other boys stood up as Speedy stop next to Eclipse who had her arms crossed. "And you? Did you know about any of this?"
Eclipse looked at her father before looking at the others, "Nope."
"And yet you'll do nothing."
Eclipse raised an eyebrow, "You mean quit and walk out like a child throwing a tamper?" she said as she looked at him then looked away. "No thanks. I'm fare more mature than that.. sometimes."
Speedy humphed as he kept on walking away, "I should have known you would agree with them."
Before he walked out the door Eclipse spoke loud enough for him to hear. "I'm not," she said as her eyes narrow slightly, "but I also don't agree with you completely."
Everyone watched as speedy walked away. Eclipse and Batman looked at one another before the girl sigh. She cut her mental connection with her father not wanting him to know what she was thinking right now or for him to try and talk to her. Nope, she would talk to him later in private. Just then the computer began to beep and the screen turn on to show superman.
"Superman to Justice League. There's been an explosion at project Cadmus," superman informed as the other older hero's walked in front of the computer screen. "It's on fire."
"I've had my suspicions about Cadmus," Batman commented, "This may present the perfect opportunity to in-" he was the interrupted bu the beeping of the computer again. On the lower left corner the image of Zatara appeared.
"Zatara to Justice League," the black hair man said, "The sorcerer Wotan is using the emulate of attan to blot out the sun. Requesting full League response."
Batman look at superman as he heard the information of the attack. "Superman," he said.
"It's a small fire," Superman replied, "Local authorities have it under control." Eclipse who was listening narrow her eyes curiosity peaked in her mind.
"Then cadmus can wait," Batman said. Looking down he press one of the keyboard. "All Leaguers rendezvous at Zatara's coordinates. Batman out." The screen then turn black and the other hero's began to leave. Batman turn to the sidekicks as they walked towards him, "Stay put."
"What?" Robin exclaimed, "Why?"
Aquaman stood next to Batman, "This is league mission," he replied.
"You're not trained," Flash added.
"Since when!" Kid flash exclaimed not liking what was happening.
"I meant you're not train to work as part of this team," Flash rephrased as he gesture to the other league members.
"There will be other missions when you're ready," Aquaman aid.
"But for now, stay put," Batman finish with narrow eyes. He then turn around and began to leave followed by Aquaman and Flash. Before walking through the door Batman remember one last person. "Eclipse," at the sound of her name she lifted her head up, "Do not leave this room." The girl let out a groan, she had hope to shadow travel home, but it seemed her father remember her being there. "I mean it."
With a sigh the girl nodded, "Fine, I won't go home or set a foot outside this room." With that Batman left leaving.
Both Martina Manhunter and Green arrow looked at the teens. Green arrow turn to green man, "Glad you didn't bring, you know who?" he asked.
"Indeed," the martian replied. Eclipse watched at the hero's left with red tornado giving one last glance before leaving. The door shut right behind him leaving the sidekicks alone.
There was a silence in the room before Kid Flash huffed. "When we're ready?" he said with closed eyes as his hands were clench in fist. "How are we supposed to be ready when they treat us like-Like sidekicks."
"My mentor, my king," Aqualad said as he looked to the side, "I thought he trusted me." Eclipse looked at the older boy feeling bad for him.
Kid Flash looked at him, "Trust? They don't even trust us with the basic!" he said, "They've got a secret HQ in space!"
Aqualad looked down, "What else are they not telling us."
Robin let out a sigh, "I have a better question," he began as he looked to the side before turning to back to them. "Why didn't we leave with speedy?" The boys all looked down in thought wanderings why exactly didn't they leave.
Eclipse sigh as she closed her eyes feeling bad for them. "Look," they turn to her as she stood before them, "We all should have known they were't going to show us the real HQ. We let our self truest them and that may be why we feel let down." She crossed her arms and before anyone could say anything she continued. "We didn't leave with speedy because were not about to throw away the- somewhat- truest we have with them. We need to prove our-self's and were not going to make a show like Speedy did." The boys stayed quite as they listen to her. She then put her hands on her hips, "Now, what is project Cadmus?"
Robin look up, "Don't know," he said before giving a sly smile, "but I can find out."
Eclispe smiled back with her arms crossed, "then do it."
Robin walked to the computer were Superman had call in. He began to type on the computer until a voice said, "Access denied."
"Ha, Want to bet?" Robin began to type again until the screen showed writing moving at a high speed.
Kid flash looked in amazed, "Wow, How are you doing that?" he asked as Eclipse gave a bright smile.
"Same system at the batcave," he answer simply.
"Access granted," the computer said as it showed an image of a facility.
"Alright," Robin began as the other's payed attention to what he was going to say. "Project Cadmus. General lab here in D.C. That's all there is," he turn to the others. Eclipse tapped her chin as she tried to make sense of this. The justice league didn't have enough information on this place which, to her, was very suspicious.
"How suspicious, no?" she said as the other's turn to her. She then gave a smirk, "Batman is suspicious as well, maybe we should investigate." Robin gave her a smirk at having thought of the same thing.
"Solve their case before they do," Aqualad said as the other's turn to him, "It could be poetic justice."
"Hey, there all about justice," Robin commented. Eclipse nodded agreeing with him.
Aqualad let out a deep breath, "But they said to stay put," he reminded them and then turn to Eclipse, "and for you to not leave."
"For the bottling out the sun mission, not this," Robin said as he found an excuse.
Eclipse pointed at herself, "And I can shadow travel there. Which means I don't step a foot out this place and I wouldn't be going home." She and Robin high five each other at being aboard the new mission.
"Wait," Kid flash said as he became excited for what was happening. He turn Robin to look his way, "A-are you going to the Cadmus mission? Because if you're going, I'm going." Both boys smirked at one another, while the girl rolled her eyes, but became excited at checking this place out even if in the back of her mind she was still worried about her powers.
"Just like that," Aqualad said with his usual series face, "we're a team on a mission."
"We didn't come for a play date," Robin replied.
She walked to stand next to the boy, "and I'm not about to let you guys do this on your own." She smiled at the boys as she crossed her arms. Aqualade looked at them before giving a smile. Eclipse jumped with her hands in the air. "Yeah, were about to break in to some facility!"
In cadmus...
The firefighters were trying to keep the fire under control. A could of smoke form from the fire that was flickering inside the top section of the building. From the top floor, two men waved their hands around as smoke and fire were behind them. "Help!" they yelled. "Get us down!"
"Stay put!" One of the fireman said, "We will get you out." Just then an explosion the room behind then exploded sending the two man down. As the two man where falling a red and yellow blur cached them. Kid Flash left them on top of the building as he began to sly down the flat wall. He grabbed onto the open window as the fireman saw him.
"Its- what's his name- Flash boy!" The fireman chief said.
"Kid Flash!" The boy corrected then looked to the side, "Why is that so hard?"
Robin and Aqualad jugged closed to the building and stop a few feet away from the fireman."So smooth," Robin commented as Eclipse appeared from the building to the side. She looked at Kid flash and shook her head, her brother and him were always impatient.
Aqualad looked up at the boy, "Does he always have to run ahead? We need a plan," he began. He turn to look at Robin, "We- Robin?" but the boy was no longer there. He turn around to look for him. A tap on his shoulder made him turn to Eclipse who pointed towards the firetruck. Robin used his grappling hook to swing into the open window and help Kid Flash.
"Does two don't know what waiting means or what making a plan is," she joked as the boy got mildly irritated by the two younger boys actions. She put a hand on the boy' arm and gave a small smile. "We should get the two men from the building then go inside. I would offer to do that, but.." she looked away, "they could get frighten by being in total darkness and I've never tried to shadow travel anyone but my self." The boy nodded before running towards the fire man.
"I need to borrow that," he said before taking his two water-beares. The water from the hose moved towards the boy as me made a swirl under him. The water rose up until he was at the top of the building. "Step aboard, now," the two scientist followed his instructions and jumped on the swirling water. They stumble a bit before sitting down, the swirling water began to lower down, as it got to the open window the boy jumped off, but still controlled the water until both men were safely on the ground. Aqualad looked towards Eclipse who smiled at him before she lower herself into her shadow. He watched as the shadow moved towards him before the girl appeared again this time she was next to him.
"Let's go," she said before jumping down. He followed soon after.
Aqualad looked at boy wonder as he was trying to hack the computer. "Appreciate the help," he commented dryly.
"You handle it," the boy said as he turn around to look at him. "Besides, were here to investigate." Turning back he kept on hacking the computer. Aqualad decided to turn and look around. "Poetic justice, remember."
Eclipse looked at him with narrowed eyes, "If we weren't on a mission I would have punched you in the arm for leaving us behind." Robin looked at her and smile sheepishly.
Aqualad walked out of the room and looked around at the hallway. A small ding made him turn to the other side. His eyes widen as a small creature was inside the elevator. He saw him right before it closed. "There was something in the-" Aqualad began as Kid Flash walked behind him.
"Elevator should be lock down," the fast boy informed. Both Robin and Eclipse walked to stand them next to them. The girl watched her brother run towards the elevator. She shared a look with KF and then followed him.
"This is wrong," the young boy said. He looked down at his gloves as a holographic computer appeared. Eclipse looked over his shoulder as the boy began to type. "Thought so. This is a high-speed express elevator." The holograph showed the elevator and to the side was some information. "It doesn't belong in a two-story building."
"Neither does what I saw," Aqualad said before walking towards the elevator.
Eclipse looked at her brother then turn to the elevator. "No wounder Fa-Batman was suspicious," the girl said as she stop herself from saying father. The look Robin gave her knew he had heard. "I almost called Batman father. This is going to be harder than I thought," the girl told her brother threw mind link.
Robin smiled at her, "I don't think he would be mad if they find out."
"I know, but what if he doesn't want to say anything yet?" she question. Their conversation was interrupted by Aqualad who forced the elevators door open. She walked next to Aqualad to look down at the dark tunnel that had few lights to the side. "Wow," she could barely see anything and didn't know how deep it was.
Robing walked to stand next to her and looked down. "And that's why they need an express elevator," he said before standing up and shooting a grappling hook at the ceiling. Eclipse watched him sly down. She was about to grab the rope when Kid Flash accidentally leaned on her.
"Wah!" she yelled as she fell down. Turning around she grabbed her own grappling hook gun and manage to stop herself from falling. Looking up she glared at Kid Flash.
"Sorry," the boy apologized. Eclipse just rolled her eyes before lowering herself down. Aqualad jumped on her rope while Kid Flash jumped on Robins.
Robin watched at the number of levels he passed before he stop. Soon after Eclipse came to his side her rope having reach her limit as well. "I'm at the end of my rope," Robin said.
"Same," Eclipse replied "All have to tell father to make one's longer," she told him and got a nod in agreement. Eclipse turn to see what lever they where on. Sl 26 it read along the walls in black letters. She saw her brother swinging on his rope before jumping to a small plat form by the elevators doors. She followed soon after and so did the other boys, with Aqualad helping Kid Flash.
Robin stood to the side hacking the system. "Bypassing security," he looked at his holographic computer who had animated faces of him that were red one second before turning green. "There! Go," Aqualad open the doors for them.
"Welcome to project Cadmus," Robin said as they walked in. Eclipse looked around before her attention turn to Kid Flash who had decided to run and check out the place. She shook her head at the boys actions.
Aqualade saw him as well and whispered out to him, "Kid, Wait!"
She looked to where he head gone, "we so need a plan," she mutter before following him.
Kid Flash ran to a another hallway, where he came to a halt as he saw some odd creatures in front of him. He slid on the ground and looked up. In front of him were gray monkey like creatures with tusk, spikes on their shoulders, red eyes, and red lines along their lower arm and sides. Eclipse saw one of them almost step on the boy and used her shadow to pull him away. Kid Flash stood up as the shadow moved away, "Thanks."
They all turn around to see the creatures past them. Until one turn to them, on top of his head was a small gray creatures. He looked their way and his two horns glowed red. Eclipse touched her head as she felt a strong headache. She looked up at the strange creature before taking a deep breath and closing her eyes.
"No," Aqualad said as he looked at the creature, "Nothing odd going on here." All the giant creatures left and Eclipse open her eyes and eyebrow raised.
She turn to Aqualad, "mine control?" she asked.
The boy gave a nod, "thank you," he thanked her. "How did you do that?"
She waved her hand as if it was nothing. "It's kind of like a shield that I can use and help other's when I link my mind to them. Nothing will get past it, but it only works for the mind unfortunate. Hopefully one day I can use it to protect," she explained. With a nod the began to look around the place being careful to not get caught by anyone.
Somewhere in the facility..
A scientist had red liquid on a glass container. Some of the small creatures were behind him in larges tubes. Some fully developed and some not ready yet. The man drop some of the red liquid on a tube that had blue crystal in them. He watched as the crystal dissolved and the liquid turn blue. He smirked as he saw the change. A small sound made him.
"Dr. Desmond," a man's voice said from the hall.
"Tell me, guardian," the doctor spoke as he grabbed the blue tube and out it away in a metal beaker that had Project Blockbuster written on it. "What part of no interruption did you not understand?"
"A gu-gnome on sub-level," said the man. A small gray creature was on his shoulder and his face was cover by a golden color metal mask.
The scientist gave a desperation sigh, "Did I miss a perimeter breach alarm?" he asked as he looked away from his microscope.
"No," the man said with his hand on his hips.
"Then the g-gnomes confused," the stated simply. "Whatever might occur on our faux lab above ground, the Cadmus is the most secure facility in D.C." He wen't back to looking at the microscope not caring about what the guardian said.
"My job to keep it that way," the guardian replied with his hands behind his back.
"Fine," the scientist let out with irritation in his voice, "Take a squad."
From the shadows a gray skin man like creature emerged. He had two horns in the middle of his forehead and red eyes. "Might I recommend guardian leave his g-gnome behind?" he said as he pointed to the small grey creature, "If violent should occur.."
Guardian turn to the scientist and finish the man like persons sentence, "The little guy would be in my way."
"No," the scientist said as he touched another g-gnome he had to his side. "The advance of instant telepathic communication outweighs other concern." As he moved his hand a way the g-gnome looked at the guardian's g-gnome and his two small horns glowed. The masked man turn back to the man-like-person with a blank look.
"I need my g-gnome with me at all times," he stated before walking out. The gray skin man looked at the guardian then the scientist before leaving. The scientist gave one last glance before getting back to work.
With the young heroes..
Eclipse looked around keeping watched as Robin tried to hack into the system. This place was giving her the creeps as it was dark and way to silent. Not to mention what she had seen was very unsettling. She turn as she heard the door finally open. The other boys and girl turn to him,"Okay. I'm officially whelmed," he breath out. In front of them were large glass tubes were stock on top of each other in a platform. Strange bug like creatures were in each tube with electricity surrounding them.
"This is how they hid this massive underground facility from the world," Kid Flash realized. Eclipse looked around at the strange creatures in amazement and curiosity. "The real Cadmus isn't on the grid. It generates its own power with these- things." Kid Flash turn to them as he gestured to the creatures. "Must be what they're bred for."
"Even the name is a clue," Aqualad began, "The Cadmus of myth created a new race by sowing dragons' teeth into the earth." Robin who was now standing next to him looked at them.
"And this Cadmus creates new life, too," the young boy said.
Eclipse tap her chin, "But why?" she question.
"Let's find out," Robin simply said before walking to a nearby system. Eclipse to this opportunity to get closer to the creatures as she was curious of them. They may seem so quite scary or odd to them, but they didn't have an aura of danger. She turn back to her brother as he looked around the data he found.
"They call them genomorphs," the boy said, "Look at the stats on these things- super-strength, telepathy, razor claws." He looked switched to the next pictured at all the different creatures. "These are leaving weapons!" Eclipse looked at him in shock and knew this mission had just turn much more serious.
Kid Flash narrowed his eyes, "They're engineering an army, but for who?"
Eclipse turn to them with serious eyes, "Whoever it is, is not a good person. This thing could be to dangerous."
"Wait!" Robin began as he moved to another data, "There's something else. Project kr." He then began to tap on the screen as the letter were different. "The file's triples-encrypted. I can't-"
"Don't move!" A voice shouted making them turn. In came the guardian with a few gray skin creatures with pointy ears and were walking in its four legs and had long tails. They were medium size and skinny. "Wait! Robin, Aqualad, Kid Flash?" he recognized.
Robin looked at Kid Flash as his holographic computer tried to deciphering the writing. "At least he got your name right," he said making Eclipse smile. Her attention then turn back to the guardian, his aura wasn't dark, but rather light.
Aqualad looked at him with recognized "I know you. Guardian, a hero."
"I do my best," the man replied with a shrug.
"Then what are you doing here?" Eclipse asked as she stood next to Aqualad while keeping an eye on Robin.
Guardian looked at her with a confuse look. "Who are you?" he asked.
Eclipse crossed her arms, "names Eclipse," she replied.
Guardian gave a nod, "I see knew sidekick," the girl suppress the urge to roll her eyes. "I'm chief of security. You're trespassing, but we can call the Justice League, figure this out."
Eclipse stiffen at that. If her father found out she disobey him she was going to be in a lot of trouble. She suppress a shudder at the punishment she could already see coming. Even when she was feeling all of those things in the outside she kept a calm and collective appearance. "I am so dead when this is all done," she thought, "well life was fun while it lasted." Robin snicker behind his hand having her the girls thought. She turn to smile brightly at her brother.
Thankfully Kid Flash said something else before the guardian decided to call the justice league. "You think the league's gonna approve of you breeding weapons?" he question.
The older man looked at him with shock, "Weapons?" he repeated. The girl turn to Robin to see his hologram computer had completed the deciphering "What are you-what have I-" he began, the creature on his shoulder turn his head towards him and his small horns glowed red. Eclipse saw this and it made her frown. "My head," he touched his head with his eyes open. She knew that thing was messing with his head.
"I think we should leave," the girl told the other threw mind link. This in return surprise them making them turn to her. She hate linking her mind to others without permission, but right now she didn't have any other choice.
Guardian open his eyes and looked at them with a serious face. "Take them down hard!" he order the other creatures, "No mercy!"
Robin took action and threw a smoke bomb in front of them before using his grappling hook to get on top of a pillar in the ceiling. Eclipse did the same before looking down, she had forgotten that the two boys didn't have a grappling hook.
Both Kid Flash and Aqualad were on the ground trying to defending themselves against the grey creatures. Kid Flash ran away from one that was following him then pushed himself of the wall and flipped over his attacker. He did the same again as another tried to attack him only this time he kicked another in the face. While Aqualad was trying to get one off of him. One he did he was hit in the back by the guardian who thew him to a nearby computer. Guardian was ready to attack again when a shadow grabbed him and threw him across the room.
Eclipse came down next to Aqualad, "Are you okay?" she asked and received a nod. "Okay, grab onto me," Aqualad did as told without hesitation and grabbed her arm. She turn to Kid Flash who was heading her way, "KF!" She extended her hand for him to grab. He speed to her and just manged to touche her hand before they were enveloped by the shadows.
She fast travel to were she knew her brother was. Once close her and the boys reemerged from the shadows. Kid Flash let go of her hand and shudder, "Dude," he let out as he had felt cold while being in the shadows.
"Sorry," she apologized, "that's why I don't shadow travel anyone with me. In this case I had to do it."
"Well talk about this later," Aqualad interrupted. Unlike Kid Flash he didn't shudder he had travel to the shadowy place of the ocean and to him the feeling of shadow traveling and going there were no different.
Eclipse and kid flash nodded before heading towards Robin who was hacking into the elevator system. Using his speed the boy got close to the boy before the others. "Way to be a team player, rob!" he exclaimed.
Robin looked at him, "Weren't you right behind me?" he asked as the elevator door open.
"No, we weren't," Eclipse stated as she stood next to him. "You have to stop going on like that!" They got into the elevator before turning to see the gray creatures heading their way. They were inches away from them when the door closed.
Eclipse leaned on the elevators wall and touch her forehead. She took a deep breath and closed her eyes. This was getting out of control and fast. She open her eyes to see the elevator indicating them going down. She frowned at this and pushed herself off the metal wall.
"Were heading down?" question Aqualad.
Kid Flash turn to Robin, "Dude, out is up," he said as he pointed to the ceiling.
The young boy looked at him with a semi confused look, "Excuse me? Project Kr," he reminded them, "it's down on sub-lever 52."
Aqualad took a deep breath and walked towards the other side of the elevator to were Eclipse was. The girl could already know what he was feeling. She frowned at feeling the boy's feelings before remember she was still linked to him. Shutting the link of she turn to him. "This is out of control. Perhaps-" he began then turn to them, "perhaps we should contact the league."
They all looked down wondering if perhaps they should do just that. Eclipse closed her eyes and took a deep breath. She could feel herself running out of energy. It seemed shadow traveling with other's took a lot of energy from her. It didn't help that she wasn't use to it either. Aqualad saw this, but before he could ask what was wrong the elevator came to a stop. The doors slid open reveling a very odd room.
The room's walls were lumpy red and there was a lot of electronic plugged into the place. Robin went on ahead as the other boys shared a look. "We are already here," Kid Flash said before following after Robin.
Aqualad sigh then turn as the girl put a hand on his arm. He could see her breathing had become a bit quick. "Are you okay?" he asked as both began to follow the other boys.
Eclipse glanced at him, "Yeah, shadow traveling with other's just took a lot of energy off me. I will be alright," she said. Thinking about what she had said before she let out a groan, "Fa-Batman is going to be mad at me for exhausting myself quickly."
Aqualad frowned having her that slip, but didn't say anything about it. They reached Robin and Kid Flash and hid behind two barrels. "Which way?" the older boy asked.
"Yeah, bizarre-looking hallway one," Robin said sarcastically as he pointed to each of the two hallways, "or bizarre-looking hallway two?" The girl rolled her eyes and smacked him in the back of the head. "Ow!" the boy let out as he rubbed his head and turn to her.
"You were the one that wanted us to come down here. You should have know what way," she stated as the boy looked away. She sigh as she looked both ways before..
"Halt!" a voice said making them turn. A man like creature with horns and gray skin stood in one hallway. His horns and eyes glowed red as he lifted two barrels off the ground with his mind and threw then at the young hero's. Eclipse lifted her hands up and the shadows protected them. Robin took this opportunity to throw a batarang at him only to be stop as it got to them man-creature's face.
"Guess this means were taking the other hallway," she thought.
"How are you in my head!" Kid Flash exclaimed as they ran to the other hallway.
Eclipse turn to him with a sheepish look, "Sorry, I keep forgetting I liked myself to you." She shut the link connection with Kid Flash and made sure her link connection with Aqualad was also shut. The only person she kept her connection with was Robin.
The man-like creature looked the way the young hero's had left. The elevator door open from a few feet next to him. The guardian and the other skinny creatures ran out. "They are heading for project Kr," he informed and they followed after.
Eclipse was debating on whether she should use her shadow traveling or wait. As she debated with herself, Kid Flash ran ahead. He made a turn and tried to stop himself from bumping on to a woman that was coming out a room down the hall he had taken. Unfortunately, he wasn't fast enough and slid under the woman making her fall flat on her face. The boy looked as the doors to the room ware about to close then looked to the side were he grabbed a metal long can and put it between the two shutting doors. He turn to see the other's coming his way. "Hurry!" he yelled as he walked into the room.
Eclipse waited for her brother to walk in before she fallowed. She turn to see Aqualad getting in before kicking the metal can away. They turn to see Robin disabling the door. He turn to them, "I disable the door," he informed, "We're safe."
Aqualad looked aroun, "We're trap," he said.
Eclipse took a deep breath as she leaned on her knees. "Well it will give us time to figure out how to get out. It's better than nothing," she said.
"Ugh, guys," Kid Flash called as he looked at the system in the room, "You'll want to see this." They turn to him as he press a button from the panel and the light were turn on. They walked towards him and their eyes widen at what they saw. In a crystal container was a teenage boy with three of the g-genome above him. He was in a white one piece suit with an S in the center, just like superman's. The fact that there was a boy in the room wasn't what surprise them. The boy looked almost like superman. In the class was the letter Kr.
"Wow," the girl let out as she looked at the boy. "What the hell is going on."
Kid Flash moved towards the class container and looked at the letters. "Big 'K' little 'r' the atomic symbol for krypton," he realized. Eclipse walked to stand next to the boy as she looked at his face.
"Clone?" she question as she turn to the others. Turning back around she looked at the boy.
"Robin," Aqualad said as he turn to the boy, "hack."
Robin was still in shock from what he saw, but after begin called he shook his head. "Oh, right, right." He began took out an sub drive corn that was connected to his clove holographic computer and began to hack the system. "Weapon designation Superboy," he began as Eclipse tore her eyes way from the boy followed Kid Flash towards her brother. "A clone force-grown in.." his eye went wide, "sixteen weeks!" He looked up at the others as he finish reading the information, "from DNA acquired from Superman."
Eclipse crossed her arms, "More like stolen from Superman," she stated as she looked back at the boy. She shook her head, "There's no way the man of steel knows about this." The man of steel was usually what she called Superman, kind of like a nickname she had for him. "What else is there?"
Robin turn back to his holographic computer, "Solar suit allows him to absorb yellow sun radiation 24/7."
Aqualad turn to the small screen in the panel and pointed to the g-gnomes above Superboy's head. "And these creatures?" he asked.
"Genomorph gnome," Answer the young boy, "telepathic, force-feeding him an education."
"And we can guess what else," Kid Flash commented. Eclipse agreed with him, there's no one anyone knows about this. If he was hiding then there was a purpose for him and she got the feeling it was a bad one. "They're making a slave out of-well- Superman's son."
"Now we contact the League," Aqualad said as he pressed the Atlantic letter on his belt. The other's pressed their communicates, but got nothing.
"No signal," Kid Flash informed. "We're in to deep, literally."
Robin turn to his sister, "You think you can communicate with Batman all the way from here?" he asked.
Eclipse thought about it. She had communicated with her father from a fair long distance, but who knew how far he was. She would need to look for him, but she didn't know how far her mind link could go. Not to mention her running out of energy and searching for her father would take a lot more. "I- Maybe" she shook her head, "I don't know. I've never tried to contact him from so far away. I would have to search for him first, but who knows if my mental link can go that far." She looked at the other then turn to superman's clone. This was to important. "But I will try."
With that the girl sat at a corner and closed her eyes. She open her mind and looked around for her father. She already knew how to know what it felt like to find him. She focused on that and began to search through all of those persons minds.
Outside the room, the people tried to open the doors, but to no avail. Guardian stood a few feet away with his g-gnome on his shoulder as he waited for them to open the door. From behind him, Dr. Desmond ran towards him along with the grey skin man. "They're still in there with the weapon?!" the scientist exclaimed.
"We can't get the door open," Guardian simply replied.
Desmond turn to the gray-skin-man, "Use your telekinesis!" he order.
He looked at the scientist calmly, "I have tried to no avail," he replied.
"Useless," Desmond exclaimed as he threw his hands on the air. "This is a debacle." He turn to Guardian, "Get some g-toll down here to muscle the door open now!"
Guardian put his hands on his hips as he stood straight. "Already on their way," he informed.
Desmond calmed down abit, "You realize once we get in there we cant ever let them leave," he said as he looked to the side.
"Doc, this aren't your.. typical meddling kids," Guardian commented, "You don't want to get on the wrong side of the Justice League."
"Better than getting on the wrong side of the Cadmus board of directors, truest me,"Dr. Desmond said. He turn to the g-gnome, Contact the g-gnomes inside Kr." The small g-gnome did as he was told and closed his red eyes as his horns began to glow.
In side the room, Elicpse tried to search as fat as she could. She knew there were people outside trying to get in and fasten her search. The problem she had was that her energy was ruining out at a quick pace. That didn't stop her as she was planing on using all her energy till the last bit left. Thankful that wouldn't effect her to much and would only make her sleep for a few days.
The other young hero's turn to look at Eclipse waiting for her to contact the league. Kid Flash looked at the boy, not noticing when the g-gnomes horns glowed. "This is wrong," Kid Flash said to the others.
Robin looked up at Aqualad, "We can't leave him like this." He turn to look at his sister, "Have you contact them yet?" he asked. She didn't answer only shook her head. The boy became worried as he knew her energy was declining quickly. He was tempted to lend her some of his energy.
Eclipse cracked on eye open and glared at her brother. "Don't you dare," she said before closing her eye. She didn't like to take other peoples energy's. She wasn't used to it and didn't know when she was taking to much. Her body also wasn't accustom to other peoples energy. If she were to take to much it could end up with them being in a comma or worse. For her there wouldn't be to much problems for her with the exceptions of her having to rest of a few days. She was after all half-human.
Aqualad glanced at Eclipse, then turn to the clone. Looking down he thought about setting the boy free. "Set him free," he decided. Turning to Robin, "Do it."
Robin did as told and unlocked the class container. The front glass slid down while the other slid up. They watched the boy as his hand move. Aqualad open narrowed his eyes as he saw the g-gnomes' horn glow. Superboy's eyes open, looking at the boys in front of him.
Just then Eclipse had found her father, "Found him!" she let the other's know. "Luna?" she heard her father. "Yeah, its me," the girl began, "I'm sorry, but we-" she was interrupted as she heard Aqualad groan. Opening her eyes she saw Superboy on top of the older boy. "Aqualad!" she yelled and cut her link with her father. She stood up quickly as both boys ran towards him.
Superboy began to hit Aqualad before he was restrain by Robin an Kid Flash. "Hang on, Supey!" Kid Flash said.
"We're on your side," Robin added. From the corner of his eye he saw Eclipse making her way to them.
Superboy manege to slip his arm from Kid Flash and punched the boy away. Eclipse saw as her friend kid a glass contained, shattering it in the process before falling on the ground.
Robin kept a hold on the strong boy. He took a smoke bomb, "I don't want to do this," Robin said before activating the smoke bomb on the boy. Superboy stood up and took his weight off Aqualad. Using this opportunity Aqualad kicked him away. Before the boy stood back up Robin grabbed his electric gun and shot two ropes towards the clone. Superboy looked at the ropes on his chest and took them off, then pulled them bringing the boy towards him. Grabbing the boy by the neck he slammed him on the ground before stepping on his chest.
Eclipse looked at Superboy, she really didn't want to hurt him, but he just hit her brother and was currently stepping on him. No one lays a hand on him. No one. Her eyes turn red as she looked at the boy. "That's my brother your stepping on!" she yelled as she lifted the shadows of the ground, grab the boy by the neck, and trow him to the metal bed he had been standing on. She ran towards her brother soon after. Grabbing him she looked at him with concern eyes. "Robin," she watched as he let out a groan and then fainted. Looking ahead she glared at the boy. Now she was mad. Her energy was almost drain and using her shadow power would only last for a few seconds. Her eyes trailed to her hand as and idea formed on her head. One she hatted, but at the moment didn't care.
Aqualad ran towards them and stood in front of Eclipse. Superboy stood up and began to walk towards them. "We are trying to help you," Aqualad informed. The boy didn't listen and lunched himself at him.
"Aqualad!" the girl yelled as both him and Superboy began to fight. She gave one more look at her brother before looking at her hands. She took her gloves off and ran towards he boy. Aqualad punched, kicked, and dodged the boy attack. He got behind the clone and electrocute him making the boy yell in pain. Superboy git his teeth and glanced at the boy before jumping on the ceiling. The girl watched with wide eyes as Aqualad hit the wall before Superboy landed again still the older boy didn't let go. That was until Superboy jumped up again and this time Aqualad let go and fell to the ground unconscious.
Superboy turn to Eclipse who was looking down at Aqualad before turning back to him. "We just wanted to help you," she stated before getting in a fighting stance. "But now, you pissed me off. No one touched my friends or brother!" With that she lunched herself at him. The boy tried to punch her, but Eclipse was faster and dodged all his punches. She grabbed his hand then touched his face. She could feel the energy flowing in her body before she was kicked in the stomach and thrown to the wall. She let out a groan before yelping and rolling to the side. With narrowed eyes she lifted her shadows to wrapped round the boys body.
Superboy became irritated at not being able to move. He watched as the girl got close to him her hand extended before her. He had felt his energy leaving him and knew her touch had something to do with it. Narrowing his eyes he used all of his strength to get out of the shadows hold. He watched as the girl stop, sweat slid down her face as he felt the shadows begin to loosen. He pulled his arm and was finally able to move. He grabbed the girl by the arm and threw her to the wall. He was hopping it would stop her, but to his surprise she stood up again. This time he grabbed her and hugged her as tight as he could without breaking any bones.
Eclipse tried to grab the boy to drain his energy, but she had used to much of her own energy and the small amount she got from the boy was already gone. She tried to get herself loose but the boy was to strong and she could feel herself loosing unconscious. Using her remaining strength she looked at the boy. "We- just wanted... to help... they will.. use... you as.. a weapon," she let out before fainting.
The clone let the girl fall on the ground a frown on his face. He looked down at the girl for a few seconds before turning around and walking towards the door. He dug his finger into the metal before torn the door open.
Dr. Desmon turn to him and walked past him to see the young hero's on the ground. "Attaboy," he praised the clone.
Superboy turn to see the girl on the ground her words ringing on his mind.
