Anastasia's POV

I blink a couple of times as I try and comprehend on what I am seeing.

"This is how they are staying off of the radar," Kid Flash says as he takes a step forward. "These creatures are supplying them with electricity. They are totally off of the grid."

"I think we can see that KF. Anyways, what are these creatures," I ask.

"Let's figure that out," Robin says as he starts to hack into the system.

I then float over to one of the pods to get a closer look of the creatures.

"Halt," a voice says as I turn to see Guardian standing there. "Wait, Aqualad, Kid Flash, Robin? What are you guys doing here? And who is she," he ask as he points at me.

"The name's Matrix. I'm Firestorm's protégé. Nice to meet you," I say as I wave at him.

"Alright. What are you guys doing here," Guardian ask.

"We could ask you the same thing," I say.

"I'm chief of security here. Let's call the Justice League and sort this all out."

"And explain what? That you are helping them breed weapons," Kid Flash says.

"What are you...my head," Guardian says as the gnome's horns glow. "Get them! Show no mercy."

"Looks like they are controlling him through the gnome," I say as Robin throws a smoke grenade down.

I grab Aqualad as I follow Robin with Kid Flash right behind me. I make the floor behind Kid Flash into pudding. We soon reach the elevator as the alarms blare. I place Aqualad down and I turn towards where we came from.

"Looks like we are in the clear for right now," I say as the elevator door opens up.

We enter the elevator and we close the door as Guardian appears at the end of the hallway. I sigh and float to the ground as I relax.

"Why are we going down," Kid Flash ask.

"Project Kr is on sub-level 52," Robin says as the door opens up.

"Shouldn't we leave," Aqualad ask.

"How about we satisfy Robin's curiosity. If things turn for the worse, we can blame him," I say as I walk out of the elevator.

"Sounds fair," Aqualad says as he leaves.

"Halt," a gnome says as he starts throwing things at us.

Robin throws a Batarang at him.

"Dude, he's a telepath," I say as the gnome stops and attacks again. "Time to go," I say as I fly down the hallway that he's not blocking.

Kid Flash runs next to me as we reach the end. We see a scientist and Kid Flash falls as he tries to stop from running into her. I grab a canister and put it in the doorway to stop it from closing all the way.

"Come on," I say as Robin and Aqualad run towards the door.

I phase through the door as I see that Kid Flash is already in. Robin and Aqualad come through. I kick the canister out of the way as the door closes shut.

"Guys, you got to check this out," Kid Flash says as Robin finish locking the door.

We go over to where KF is. He pushes a button and lights appear on the pod in front of us. I gasp as I float to the ground.

"Big K little r. The atomic symbol for kryptonite," Kid Flash says.

"Robin hack," Aqualad says as he starts typing away at the computer there.

I take a step forward as I look at him.

"He's a clone of Superman," I mutter as I turn to the others. "We have to get him out of here."

"And then what," Kid Flash ask me.

"Bring him to the League. Have him join our team. What else," I say as they look at me. "He should have a life of his own outside of Cadmus."

"Do it," Aqualad says.

"Alright," Robin says as I turn back towards Superboy as the pod doors open up.

Silence falls in the room as we wait for Superboy to move. He opens his eyes and lunges at us. I gasp as he slaps me into the ground hard. My vision blur and I hear my friends call out my name. I close my eyes as I lose consciousness.

I gasp as I open my eyes. A groan escapes my lips as I blink a couple of time. I try and move my hands. I frown as I realize that I can't move.

"What? Where," I mutter as I look around.

A feeling of dread suddenly falls upon me as I hastily look around.

"Nononononononono," I mutter as I pull at the retrains.

I gasp for breath as I struggle to get out of the pod.

"Test Subject Number 102 is ready."

I can feel my heart rate increase as my eyes widen.

"Do it."

"Don't worry. Soon enough, you won't matter."

"Nononononono," I say as I start to shake. "No please. Nonono. Help! Let me out! Nononono."

I try and take a deep breath, but I struggle to breathe. My vision blurs as tears start to form. I distantly hear glass breaking. I can feel someone remove the restrains from me as I fall forward into a sturdy chest. The man then places me on the ground. I grasp onto their shirt as I shake.

"Subject Number 102 is alive. Project FIRESTORM MATRIX complete."

"Nonononono," I mutter.

I can hear people talking. Their voices sound distant and far away. I feel someone trace circles on my back.

"You're safe," a voice whispers in my ear as I cough. "You aren't where you think you are."

I take a shaky breath as I try and calm down. The man continues to trace circles and whisper calming words in my ear. This continues for a couple of minutes. I blink a couple of times as the blurriness in my vision slowly disappears. I take an uneven breath as I try and stand up.

"Can you hear us Matrix," a slightly clear voice of Kid Flash ask me.

"Y-yeah. I can hear you guys now," I mutter as my legs shake slightly under me.

"That's good. It's a good thing Superboy was able to help you," Robin says.

"Thank you," I say as I look at Superboy.

"Not to be rude or anything, but why did you have a panic attack," Kid Flash ask me.

"I'm not a fan of cramp spaces," I say as close my eyes.

I take a deep breath and I reopen my eyes. I stand up and I turn towards Kid Flash, Robin, and Aqualad. I frown as I look at the pod that I was in. I hold my hand out and I turn it into a marshmallow.

"I hate pods," I mutter out as I turn towards my friends. "You need help getting out?"

"No, they don't. But you need to get back where you belong," a voice says and I turn around to see a scientist there. "And get the weapon back in its pod!"

"Hey, how come he can call Supey an 'it'," KF says as I frown.

"I'm not going back in that fucking pod. and Superboy is not an 'it' or a weapon," I say as I float slightly off of the ground.

"Yeah," KF says as I look at Superboy.

"You want to come with us? You can choose your own destiny and life."

"Get her! And start to clone the others," the scientist says. "And you! Get back into your pod!"

Superboy frowns as he looks at the scientist.

"Don't tell me what to do!"

Superboy then punches the man. I turn and look at my friends. I then make the glass doors of the pod into sand. Robin's cuffs open and he falls down.

"Finally," Robin says.

"I got Aqualad. You get Kid Flash," I say as float towards the Atlantean.

"Thank you," Aqualad says as free him.

"No problem. Let's get out of here now!"

"Stop them," the scientist says as the five of us leave the room.

"He is not whelmed at all," Robin says as he throws three explosive Batarangs at the empty tanks as they explode.

"Was that necessary," I ask him as I fly next to him.

"Yeah. I couldn't leave without leaving him some destruction."

I roll my eyes as we reach the elevator. I turn the doors into some pizza and I catch it. I then start to eat it as we all go into it.

"What? I was hungry."
