AN at the bottom
"Today is the day? What do you mean? By "today is the day?" " 'Oh god, please don't tell me it's that show.' "The day when you become a member of the League." 'God damn it, it is that show.' "Member of the League, HA please I'm better being a Green Lantern and not in the League that you always work for." "Sam come on lets go they're waiting I told them we would go." He said to me, giving me a stern look. He knows that if I see that look I look at it as if it was my job to do it. I sighed. "Fine, I'll go." I said admitting defeat. I could see Hal celebrating fist bumping the air and jumping like a little kid. I never met the other sidekicks, I heard from them by Hal comparing them to me, I just ignored him and at night went to the rings to fight.
"Let's go they're waiting, suit up and lets go." He told me as his uniform appears. I powered up my ring to get my uniform and we went out of the house on the way to Dc to the Hall of Justice which was supposedly the HQ for the Justice League, which I knew it was just a ruse for the public, the real one being the Watchtower. We flew at Hals top speed, my speed was faster than his and I'm stronger than many other lanterns but I was really fast when we flew. We reached Dc in 10 minutes, I saw the Hall of Justice it's huge, but Oa had bigger doors than the whole building. In the other side of the fountain I saw 8 people I knew by heart and memory since I was able to remember everything, it's called eldetic memory or something like that. I could see them, batman and robin, Green Arrow and speedy, Aquaman and Aqualad, along with Flash and Kid Flash. All of them were looking at us, waiting for us.
As we landed beside them I heard from Kid Flash. "This day keeps getting better by the second." He appeared in front of me using his speed. "Hello beautiful, I'm Kid Flash and I never knew angels flew so close to the ground." 'Oh god, don't laugh, don't laugh.' I chanted trying not to laugh at that pick up line it would be mean. "Green Lantern." I said responding he tried to approach closer to me only to be interrupted by Robin, nudging kid flash in the ribs. "Dude!" "Hey, I'm Robin, that's speedy, and Aqualad." He said motioning to them, Aqualad waved at me awkwardly and speedy only nodded at me. I waved back at Aqualad just as awkwardly. "As I've said before I'm Green Lantern, or the new Green Lantern." I was about to say something only to be interrupted by Hal.
"Sorry were late "someone" was being difficult." He said motioning to me. I just hmphed. "Nice block dude, she is like totally beautiful." Kid Flash said. "Yes ,totally beautiful is still here. Hello." I said sarcastically. Kid flash looked flustered we began rounding the fountain all walking as a group. 'I never thought of myself as beautiful, my sister always told me that. But I didn't care all I wanted was to make my sister happy and if she told me I'm beautiful then I played along, God I miss her a lot.' We reached the other end which was divided by a limit from both sides leaving enough space to walk, it felt like I was about to walk to a movie premier.
"Mommy look! a Green Lantern, she is so pretty; then that means girls can be Green Lanterns. Mommy can I be a Green Lantern?" The voice of a little girl sounded to my right. "Mom can I cut my hair like that Green Lantern? It looks so beautiful." 'My platinum blonde hair was always short up always above my shoulders so it won't get in my way when I fought.' "Dude check out that Green Lantern, she is hot." A teenager said. "Get photos of her, this has never happened another Green Lantern and she's a girl. This will go viral." We started walking, immediately flashes started to go off on my face.
"Ready to see the inner sanctum?" Green Arrow spoke. "Born that way." Replied Speedy. "I'm glad were all here." Aqualad said. "Have all five sidekicks ever been in the same place at the same time?" Kid Flash said "Don't call us sidekicks. Not after today." Speedy said. "Technically I'm not a side kick, I'm a full member of the Green lanterns" Robin and kid flash looked at me curiously. "Sorry first time at the hall, I'm a little overwhelmed." Kid flash apologized. "You're overwhelmed, Freeze was underwhelmed. Why isn't anyone just whelmed?" Robin said. "Well whelmed means to submerge, engulf or bury in water, so we kinda need water for that one." I said smugly. "Oh maybe that's why."
He said looking at the 7 statues of the founders. "You look so smug in that statue." I said to Hal, He only laughed. "Yeah we were only seven then, we were called "The super friends." Don't know why we agreed to that name, none of us liked it." We approached the door with 'Personal access only.' The door opened revealing Martian Manhunter and Red Tornado standing there. Martian Manhunter stepped out. "Robin, Speedy, Aqualad, Kid Flash, Green Lantern. Welcome." Kid Flash and Robin high fived, and we began walking to the door "You now have unlimited access to the Gym our footstock alley and of course our library." He said as all the heroes walked past us. "Make yourselves at home." Green arrow said. Each of us took a seat I just made myself a chair out of my ring, speedy just stood. "Quick debrief to discuss the coincidence of four ice villains attacking on the same day we shouldn't be long." Batman said as he walked to the other door. I knew it was a zeta tube to the Watchtower. "Recognized Batman zero two, Recognized Aquaman zero six, Recognized Flash zero four, recognized Green Arrow zero eight, recognized Martian Manhunter zero seven, recognized Green Lantern zero five, recognized Red Tornado one six." All heroes looked forward.
"That's it?! You promised us a look inside not a glorified backstage pass." Speedy said. "It's a first step, you've been granted access few other get." Aquaman said sternly. "Oh really?" Speedy said motioning to the glass window filled with bystanders taking pictures. "Who cares which side of the glass we're on?" He continued. "Roy you just need to be patient." Green Arrow said as he approached him. "What I need is respect." He said as he turned to the rest of us. "They're treating us like kids. Worse like sidekicks! We deserve better than this." Aqualad, Kid Flash, Robin and I shared glances. "You're kidding right? You're playing their game? Why? Today was supposed to be "The day" step one in becoming full-fledged members of the league." "Well sure, but I thought step one was tour of the HQ." Kid Flash said "Except the Hall isn't really their real HQ." All the sidekicks and heroes looked surprised looked surprised I just raised a brow. 'God this guy is an asshole.' "I bet they haven't even told you. It's just a false front for tourists and a pit stop for catching zeta beam teleporter tubes to the real thing; an orbiting satellite called the Watch Tower." I was about to laugh at him. ' This guy needs to learn respect, to authorities bigger than him.'
"I know I know but I thought maybe we could make an exception?" Green Arrow spoke only to see Batman glare at him, Green Arrows face fell. "Or not." Aquaman took a step forward to Speedy "You are not helping your cause here son. Stand down or." "Or what? You'll send me to my room?" 'God damn this guy deserves a punch.' "And I'm not your son, I'm not even his." He said motioning at his mentor. "I thought I was his partner, but not anymore." He said as he took off his cap throwing it to the ground. Robin and Kid flash looked surprised as Speedy or Red Arrow started walking past us. "Guess they're right about you four." Robin, Kid Flash and Aqualad stood up I stayed there sprawled in my chair construct. "You're not ready." "Um I don't really care you know, I've been to space. So suck it up boy and learn respect to your superiors." He stood there as soon as he heard me, but kept walking. "Asshole." I muttered.
Immediately as the doors closed an alarm started going off and superman was displayed in the screens. "Superman to Justice League, there's been an explosion at project Cadmus. It's on fire." The big blue said, Batman moved to the screen all the heroes in tow. "I've had my suspicions about Cadmus. This may present the perfect opportunity to.." He was interrupted as another alarm came in. "Zatara to Justice League the Soshar of Wotan are using the amulet of Aton to block out the sun. Requesting full league response." 'He interrupted the bat, damn he's got guts.' Batman looked up to Superman. "Its a small fire local authorities have it under control." "Then Cadmus can wait." He pressed a key in the computer. "All League member randevú at Zataras' coordinates. Batman out." All heroes started moving to the zeta tube from before. While the sidekicks approached batman. "Stay put." Batman ordered. "What? But why?" Flash and Aquaman stood beside batman. "This is a league mission." Aquaman said. "You're not trained..." Flash said. "Since when?" Kid flash interrupted him. "What I meant is you aren't meant to work as part of this team." Flash said motioning to Batman and Aquaman. "There will be other missions. When you're ready." Aquaman said. "But for now. Stay. Put." Batman said glaring. "GL? Need my help there?" I asked Hal as he was waiting for Aquaman Batman and Flash. "No, kid you listen to what Batman said." "Oh well less work for me." I said as I made myself comfortable again. "Glad you didn't bring you know who?" Green arrow said. "Indeed" Martian Manhunter responded, as all the heroes walked past the door that led to a zeta tube.
kid flash stomped the ground. "When were ready? How are we supposed to be ready when they treat us like sidekicks?" He said as he finished looking at Aqualad. "My mentor, my king I thought he trusted me." He said disappointment in his voice. "Trust?! They don't even trust us with the basics. They've got a secret HQ in space." He said motioning both hands to the sky. "What else aren't they telling us?" "I have a better question. Why didn't we leave with speedy?" Both Kid Flash and Aqualad looked down. I just laughed "Are you for real?" Kid Flash asked me. His head whipping to my voice. "What? It's their job besides, I'm already a Green Lantern. I didn't took that thousand question test for nothing." I said. "Besides, they left something for the authorities and Batman has a suspicion about them" I said motioning to the computer. "That's true. What is project Cadmus?" Aqualad spoke. "Don't know but I can found out." Robin said as he moved to the computer I got up and me being laze I flew near them.
"Access denied." The computer said as Robin typed. "HA, wanna bet?" He said as he started cracking files in the computer, pressing keys. I paid attention to what he did, so he is placing code to bypass the security hmm. So that's hacking works. "How are you doing that?" Kid Flash asked. "Same system as the batcave." Robin responded as he typed the last piece of code breaking the final barrier for the access to the information, pressing enter the Access denied message lit green and gave us access "Access Granted." The computer said. "Alright Project Cadmus Genetics Lab, here in DC. That's all there is. But if Batman's suspicious, maybe we should investigate." Robin suggested. "Solve their case before they do. It would be poetic justice." Aqualads' voice is really hypnotic I could hear it all day. "Hey they're all about Justice." Robin said "But they said stay put." Aqualad said. "That was for the blocking out the sun thing, not for this." I said "Wait are you guys saying you're going to Cadmus. Because if you're going I'm going" Kid flashed said I smirked and landed beside Robin who was also smiling along with Kid Flash, all three of us looked at Aqualad. "Just like that we're a team on a mission." "We didn't come for a playdate." Robin said and Aqualad smiled. 'He has a handsome smile. Damn.'
We flew out of the Hall of Justice I carried Aqualad and Robin as Kid Flash ran in the street. When we reached Cadmus There was already firemen putting out the fire and police making sure no bystanders were on the way. "Stay put we will get you out" a fireman with a megaphone said. "Kid Flash run ahead NOW." I yelled at Kid Flash. He ran ahead just as an explosion threw 2 scientists in lab coats out the window. Kid flash ran up the building and caught them. Throwing both of them to the roof but the weight of both scientists made him loose speed for him to go up the building. He slipped and gripped the window were the scientist were previously thrown. "Its what's his name.. Flash boy." The fire man said. I landed beside the firemen placing down Robin and Aqualad. "Good call GL." Robin said. "Aqualad, water, fire move." I said as I made a platform of light under kid flash and another for the scientists on the roof I flew over to kid flash. "Woah nice call beautiful." Kid flash told me. "Robin give me one reason so I don't throw him out the window?" I said as I moved the second platform for the scientists to be on the ground. "How did you know?" I heard you land; the sound of water reached my ears as I saw all the fire die down and Aqualad, stand right next to us. Robin was already hacking the computer checking for files. "Good plan GL." I felt myself blush. 'God I hate hormones.' "Were here to investigate, poetic justice remember." Robin said as he kept checking files in the computer.
I started walking exploring the floor. "What is?" Aqualad said as the elevator closed. Kid Flash along with Robin to catch up to us. "This is wrong." He said as his wrist started displaying a computer screen. Showing scans of the building an the elevator. "Thought so. This is a high speed elevator, this doesn't belong in a two story building." "Neither is what I saw." Aqualad said as he moved to the door opening it by force. He looked down surprised. "And that's why they need an express elevator." Robin said. I flew into the shaft making a platform for them to stand. "Going down?" I said. "I need to say it; it's awesome to have a green lantern in this team." We were going down. "Ah crapbaskets. Robin doors now." I said as the elevator was about to ram into us. "Bypassing security aaand done." Aqualad opened the doors by force.
"Welcome to project Cadmus." Robin said, as the elevator passed behind us at a high speed. We walked a bit, only for Kid flash to start running to the hallway. "Kid wait!" Aqualad said trying not to sound to loud. "He is out of reach for me." I whispered pointing my right arm at his speeding figure. We ran to catch up to him only to see him crawl out of the way of being stumped by what I knew were genomorphs, that looked like mammoths with little people riding them. All of them ignored us. "No nothing going on here." Aqualad said as we stood there looking at them go.
We kept walking exploring the compound till we reached a door. Robin immediately began working on it to open. "Okay, I'm officially whelmed." Robin said. The room was filled with many glass pods filled with water each was connected to a metal tube, each creature was giving electricity. "We still need water for that Robin." I said. "This is how they hide this massive underground facility from the world the real Cadmus isn't in the grid it creates its own power with these things." Kid flash said. "Must be what they're bread for."
"Even the name is a clue it comes from a Myth a creating a race by soling dragons teeth deep into the earth." Aqualad said. "And this Cadmus creates also life too." Robin said as he approached the console. "Lets find out why, these things they're called genomorphs, look at theses stats. Super strength, Claws, telepathy. These are living weapons." Robin said. "They're engineering an army." I said "But for who?" Kid Flash said. "Wait there's something else. Project Kr. Agh the files triple encrypted I cant." "Kr like the element?" I said remembering correctly what will happen. "DONT MOVE!" Someone yelled as he ran into the room, 5 creepy thing following him. "Wait, Robin, Aqualad, Kid Flash, And Green Lantern?" He said. "At least he got the name right." Robin said. "I know you, you're guardian a hero." Aqualad said as I walked covering Robin as he ran the decryption program. "I do my best." Guardian responded. "Then what are you doing here?" Kid flash said. "I'm chief of security you're trespassing." He said as he placed both fists on his hips. "But we can call the Justice League figure this out." He said trying to sound reasonable. "You think the league is gonna approve of you making weapons?" Kid Flash said. "Weapons? What are you... What have I?" The small genomorphs horns turned red and looked directly at Guardian. "Agh my head." He looked in pain only to look at us as the small genomorphs looked again at the front.
"Take them down hard, no mercy." He said as all the creepy crawlers started speeding past him. Robin jumped in front of us throwing a smoke bomb, all the genomorphs rushed to us. I made a fist and punched the first one to jump at me, these smoke is really annoying. Kid Flashed rushed behind me kicking one that was meant for me behind my bad. I saw Aqualad hit one only to be charged by Guardian throwing him through the floor, and crashing against a metal plate denting it. As Guardian rushed Aqualad I rushed at guardian intercept him making a bigger fist cover my own I jumped and decked him in face making him fall to the ground along with the little genomorph.
"To the elevator follow Robin." I said as I flew toward the high speed elevator, as we reached the elevator door. I saw Aqualad run past me. I made a brick wall for the genomorphs to be delayed. "Way to be a team player Rob." Kid flash scolded Robin "Weren't you right behind me." He said as the elevator doors opened. We rushed in as my construct was broken by the overwhelming of numbers of genomorphs. I got in last the elevator doors closing behind me. "Were headed down?" Aqualad said "Dude out is up." I ignored what was about to come. "Ring power percentage." I said to my ring. "Power percentage at 45%." That's enough for a while. "This is out of control, perhaps its time we should contact the league." Aqualad said only to be stopped by the doors of the elevator to open.
"We are already here." Kid flash said as he and Robin ran ahead. Aqualad looked at me. "They're right. Come on we need to find out what is going on here." Aqualad only sighed loudly, we caught up with Robin and Kid Flash. "Which way?" Aqualad said turning towards me. "Creepy hallway one or creepy hallway two?" I said motioning to both hallways that looked like the inside of an alien. "HALT." A creature yelled in my head, he was a genomorph taller, dressed completely in white. As he took two barrels from the ground threw them at us only for them to explode as we ducked. "Robin distraction. Head to the second creepy Hallway" 'If I'm right its where Superboy is.' Robin threw birdarangs at the genomorph while the me and the others headed to the hallway. "KF, go." Aqualad said Kid flash started running ahead, only for a woman to yell. I flew past the woman on the ground as the doors were closing I made a construct of a metal rod to stop the door from closing. I flew past it, as Kid Flash, Aqualad and finally Robin passed. I dissolved the construct and the doors immediately shut.
"I disabled the door were safe." Robin said. "Were trapped." Aqualad and I replied at the same time, both of us looked at each other. "Um guys, you might wanna see this." Kid flash said as he pressed a key and the lights of the room went up to reveal a boy in a white suit inside the chamber with an all too familiar S on his chest. "You were right GL, big K little r the atomic symbol for Krypton." Kid flash said. "Robin hack." Aqualad and me said at the same time. "UH right, right. Robin said as he plugged the computer on his wrist to the computer and his program bypassing the password system.
"Weapon designation Superboy a clone grown in Sixteen weeks! from DNA acquired from superman." Robin exclaimed. "Stolen from superman." Aqualad said. "No way superman knows about this." Kid flash said. "The solar suit allows him to absorb yellow sun radiation twenty four seven." Robin said. "What about the small things up there." I said pointing to them on the screen. "Genomorph gnomes, telepathic force-feeding him an education." Robin replied. "And I can guess what else. They're making a slave out of… well superman's son." Kid flash said. "Now we contact the league." Aqualad said as he pressed his belt buckle. "This is Green Lantern, requesting assistance at project Cadmus in Dc." I said to my ring. "Message not sent. No signal." 'Stupid piece of shit, you work a lot like a phone sometimes. Even though I don't have a phone.' "No signal, were in to deep." Robin said. "Literally." Kid flash added. "This is wrong, we can't leave him like this." Kid flash said. "Set him free." I said. Robin looked expectantly. "Do it." Aqualad reaffirmed, Robin started working on his wrist computer, opening the pod of Superboy.
Superboy began moving immediately his arms but he stopped, he opened his eyes and lunged at Aqualad at incredible speeds, Superboy was above Aqualad and punched him in the face. He was stopped by Robin grabbing his head in a headlock, me making a construct to stop his left arm and Kid flash grabbing his right arm. "Were on your side." Robin said but Superboy threw kid flash though a glass container. "I don't wanna do this." Robin said throwing a smoke pellet into his mouth. Superboy got off Aqualad coughing and Aqualad kicked him in the face. Making him fly a few feet away near me; Superboy didn't looked hurt. "Bring it big guy." I said as I made an armor construct to avoid a punch that could break my arm. I punched him two times in the face, he grabbed my third punch, sucker punch me in the stomach and throw me against a wall making a dent. "Oh my ribs." I said as I tried to breathe I looked up to see Robin try to taze Superboy only for Superboy to grab the cords and pull Robin towards him, making him fall to the ground and step on his chest. "Enough." Aqualad screamed and with that I blacked out.
I groggily opened my eyes, trying to move. Only to find myself cuffed and restrained by special cuffs above my head they completely covered my hands. 'That's not good.' "Oh you're awake, good. You know it's really hard to get a Green Lantern ring. You see nobody on earth knows how it works. And thanks to you we now have one, you'll be the next development of Cadmus. Living weapons that can use light to their favor." The man said to me. I tried to make a construct to give pressure to the cuffs, only to be shocked, electricity running through me. "AAhh" I screamed. "That isn't recommended any foreign energy that is used, will shock you. So don't fight, and give us the future of weapons." He said. "God shut the fuck up, nerd." I said groaning. "You ramble to much as soon as I get out. I'm gonna punch you so hard you'll regret having me here restrained." I said.
"Feisty." "Director Desmond you're needed in the project Kr construction for supervision." A man in a lab coat said. "Alright I'm going. You'll be a fun experiment." He said as he started to walk away. "Shut up nerd, you'll regret this." I said as he left the door closing leaving two lab coats a woman and a fat man checking notes on their computers. "You either let me out or I make sure both of you wish your parents used protection." I said which made both of them flinch. 'Oh well it's gonna be the hard way. This will hurt like a bitch.' I thought as I channeled my will into the ring. "AAHH." The electricity ran through me, the machine started to throw sparks, my body felt like it was made out of ants that were on fire. Until it stopped the cuffs broke and the machine short circuited. Both scientists ran out of the lab where I was. 'Thank god' I thought; I could barely stand but I needed to move and find, Robin, Kid Flash, Aqualad, and Superboy; he is the key to getting out.
I started limping through the facility, the electricity felt like it was still there. I felt antsy and filled with pain and energy. I was walking using the wall of whatever this rock was to use as support to walk. I don't want to use constructs to walk, I don't have much energy left in my ring and I don't know how to store my battery in the pocket dimension. I was limping and I saw him, Superboy standing there with the genome gnome on his shoulder. He looked at me, I was ready to fight. "Come on boy, I fought in worse states that these." I said pulling up my fists in front of my face only lose my balance and fall to ground. "Stay here." He told me, pulling me to wall to sit. 'Oh good a break, before shit gets real.'
Not even a minute later of my break, I heard an explosion and saw Aqualad, Kid flash, Robin and Superboy run towards me. "Hey guys, little help here?" I hated being carried, but I needed to do it if I'm going to not become a lab rat. "Aqualad carry her, KF is too fast for her, and I need both hands." Robin said. "Hop on." Aqualad said, as I climbed to his back with the help of Superboy. "We are forty two levels below ground get to the elevator." Aqualad said as we ran though the hall only for all the egg like objects in the wall start to glow and the mammoth like genomorphs blocking our way to the elevator. "Superboy make way to the elevator we need to escape." I said. "You too don't give me orders." He said sounding angry as he punched a mammoth genomorph in the face making it fall to the ground. Aqualad kid flash and Robin weaved past the Genomorphs getting to the elevator doors.
We made it to the elevator doors, Aqualad opened them. Superboy grabbed Aqualad with me in his back, and jumped Robin using his grappling hook to go upwards, along with kid flash "Grab on tight." Aqualad told me as Superboy jumped, with all the strength he could muster, we passed 20 levels, only to start falling by decreasing our speed. I reacted by making a small platform for the 3 of us. "It's like you want me to run out of power." I said. "I don't get it superman can fly. Why can't I?" He said confused. "You can't fly but you can leap high buildings still really cool." Kid flash said. "Get on, I don't know how much power I was so let's make it count." I said everyone got on and we started to fly upward. "I need to say it again; it's awesome to have a green lantern here." Only to hear the elevator descend again. "Oh come on." I said annoyed stopping in sublevel 15 "Superboy Aqualad doors." I said both of them punched the doors respectively. I threw all of us out of the platform and into the floor. The elevator passing a second after we landed, on the floor. "Fifteen, not bad at all." I said everyone got up I wasn't able to stand up, my muscles hurt to move; Aqualad quickly picked me up and began running after the others.
"Ring power percentage left." I said to my ring and in Aqualads ear as we turned left. "14% recharge required." The ring said. "Well screw you too." I said. We turned right by order of Superboy only to stop at a dead end with a vent opening. "Great direction supey are you trying to get us repoded." Kid Flash said him. "No, I don't understand." Superboy said confused. "Shut up and climb into the vent." I said
we were crawling through the vent as fast as we could my muscles were in overdrive and I knew the night wasn't over. "Great at this rate we'll never get out." Kid flash said "Shh you hear that." Superboy said. "This is our stop." I said as I motioned to the vent opening that lead to a hallway. Beside it was a stairwell that had in green "Exit." We got out of the vent and Robin began to type away at his wrist computer. "I hacked the motion sensors." He announced. "Still plenty of way between the exit and us." He said. "Yeah but I finally got room to move." Kid Flash said as he ran into the stairs, Aqualad picked me up again and we began running up the stairs. "MORE BEHIND US!" Robin said, we crossed a set of stairs. I saw the creepy crawler genomorphs fall out of the stairs above us. Superboy kicked the stairs that connected to the main stairs destroying their way to get us. We kept moving through the stairs, only that the genomorphs stopped coming at us. We reached sublevel 1 one as kid flash was picking himself of the ground, the alarm blaring at our ears, and all light were red. "Were cut off from the street." Aqualad said. "Thanks my head hadn't noticed." Kid flash said. Superboy ran at the door and punched it, not leaving even a dent. "Can't hack this fast enough." Robin said, a rumbling sound was heard behind us as 2 mammoth genomorphs appeared. "Door to the left." I said pointing at the door, immediately Robin kicked it open, forgetting about hacking the door. We all followed only to be stopped by getting surrounded by genomorphs of all types, along with guardian. "Ah crapbaskets." I said. As I climbed out of Aqualads back powering up my ring making myself glow, along with Aqualad making two swords and robin preparing his birdarangs. Immediately my eyes felt really heavy, and I lost all sense of conscience there. "Screw you psychic midgets." I said falling to the ground.
My conscience returned, we all stood up, Aqualad supporting me to stand up. "Feels like fog lifting." Guardian said. "Guardian?" Aqualad asked him. "Go, I'll deal with Desmond." He said. "I think not." He was interrupted by The same doctor who wanted me as a lab rat. "Project Blockbuster will give me the power to restore order to Cadmus." He said as he drank a vial of bright blue liquid. He fell to the floor, his clothes ripping I thought I heard bones breaking, as his size grew his skin got peeled off by the growth Desmond became a blue monster. "Oh that's gross." I said before Desmond started growling he looked at us with an evil smile. Everyone prepared to fight against him. "Everyone back" Guardian said as he charged Desmond or blockbuster now, only to be thrown against a wall and get knocked out. "So much for a hero." I said. Superboy charged blockbuster, as they traded blows Superboy was thrown to floor, he got up he jumped with both fists to punch blockbuster, only to get tackled and going through the roof of sublevel 1. "Okay that's... one way to blast through the ceiling." Robin said shooting his grappling hook. "You think the lab coat he planned that?" Kid flash said grabbing Robin. "Yeah, no." I said as I enveloped Aqualad in my energy to follow after them.
Superboy was squaring against Blockbuster punching and kicking only for blockbuster to grab him by the leg and throw him straight at Aqualad. I jumped out of the way and regrouped with Aqualad and Superboy, Kid flash and robin followed suit. I helped Aqualad get up while Robin and Kid flash helped Superboy get up. Blockbuster just smiled at us, we looked at each other and charged against him kid flash running past us and into Blockbuster, distracting him enough by passing through his legs; he looked up to see Superboy and Aqualads fist collide with his face making him lose balance, kid flash made a stool out of his body making blockbuster fall.
"Learned that one in kindergarten." He said as he got up and began running again. I stood up to face him making armor only on my arms to punch him. I got one hit before he tackled me into a pillar making a dent, and the concrete pillar to bend. I punched him again in the face when he cocked his fist, making him stagger. "Oh crapbasUGH." I got punched again by him, and making a bigger dent in the pillar; as blockbuster recoiled his fist to punch me again he was stopped by Aqualad using his water swords to make a whip to stop him from punching me again. Aqualad moved above where I was held only for blockbuster to grab him by his weapon and throw him to the ground making a spider web crack in the ground where he landed.
Blockbuster picked me up and threw me against another pillar making it making another dent in it. "Oh my ribs, that time they cracked." I said. Looking around me as Blockbuster punched Superboy straight through a pillar. 'Oh right that's how he was defeated.' "ROBIN!." I yelled as another pillar broke, he looked at me I pointed at the pillar that meant the building would come down on top of him. "That's right, KF. Get over here." Robin started explaining. "On my mark." I said. "Got it." Robin and Kid Flash responded. "KF go." I said "Got it." He said as he ran and punched blockbuster in the face grabbing his attention. "Got your nose." Kid flash said, as he provided the distraction making damage to the pillars by making blockbuster destroy them. "Sorry try again." Kid flash said only to fall by a rock hitting him in the back. "Superboy Aqualad." I said pointing at Robin. As blockbuster was about to punch Kid Flash I made a cube at his feet for him to stumble and crash into another pillar destroying it. "Thanks." He said. I made a construct of a hammer and punched the pillar Robin instructed me to, while he and Aqualad set up the trap. "Done." Robin yelled. "KF, its done. Go go go." I yelled at him. As he made blockbuster follow him to the trap. "Superboy take him down." I said as Superboy jumped and punched the distracted Blockbuster to the ground wet ground. "Aqualad, fast." I ordered as Aqualad light up his tattoos to make electricity go through the water, electrocuting Blockbuster.
"ROBIN!" I yelled "MOVE!" Robin yelled; as he detonated the charges he set. The building started to come down on top of us, all five of us ran together in the same direction. I got tackled by Aqualad and I tackled Robin immediately I constructed a shield to surround us, the whole building started to fall on top of us. My ring didn't had much power left but it was enough to the rubble to settle. The sound was deafening, until it stopped not a sound could be heard instead of our breathing, I pushed the rubble from on top of us. My shield completely cracked meaning it was about to break, good thing I'm strong. "We did it." Aqualad said between breaths. "Was there ever any doubt." Robin said high fiving kid flash only for both of them to groan. "I want pizza and a bed, 300 dollars for any of those two options." I said as I stood next to them
Superboy walked to see blockbuster knocked out and under the rubble of what was left of Cadmus's top building. "See the moon. Oh and superman. Do we keep our promises or what? Kid flash said, Superman was flying and getting closer and closer to us, behind him was, Red Tornado, Shazam or Captain Marvel before he changed his name, Martian Manhunter, Zatara as they landed on the ground in the side of the street which was above us, Superman landing completely in front of us. After Superman landed, other heroes were here; Captain Atom, Hawkman, Wonder Woman, HawkGirl, and Hal. 'That's not good, he looks serious. He is never this serious unless I'm in trouble. Which was about last Wednesday because I went to a ring to fight, and Friday and Saturday. Don't blame me old habits die hard.' Beside superman were the non-flyers carried by a platform made by Johns Green Lantern ring, Batman scowling, Green Arrow with his arms closed around him, Aquaman and Black Canary. John looked annoyed more than anything, Hal flew down with the rest of them and stood beside John who looked just as stoic. I know what is about to come, and I didn't like it.
Batman walked towards us behind superman as flashed appear behind him looking serious. Superman looked straight at us and Superboy walked past us standing in front of him, his costume was ripped along with gashes. He took the top part which covered the S of his chest, Superman's eyes widened. Superboy looked expectantly to be greeted with open arms. 'He is about to be disappointed, but I know I'm gonna bury myself. But screw it.' Superman just glared, Superboy' face showed confusion and anger. "Is that what I think it is?" Batman said. "He doesn't like being called an it." Kid flash said I elbowed him in the ribs. "Ugh." He responded. "I'm supermans' clone." Superboy said aloud, every hero looked at eachother confused by his statement; Batman looked at Aqualad, Robin and me. "Start talking."
We told him what happened from us getting in to being captured, escaped, to being released, to fighting blockbuster. Batman's' expression didn't falter through the explanation. "We will talk about this later." Hal said to me, as he and John made a bubble around Blockbuster and took him to Belle Reve Prison. They flew away along with hawkman, hawkgirl, and Captain Atom.
Aqualad, Kid Flash, Robin, Superboy and me as we spoke. My body is screaming at me for rest. "Ring, power?" "2%" It responded. "Enough for getting home." I said in relief. "Dude you were awesome here, your calls to what to do were great." Robin said to me. "Smart and beautiful I like it." Kid Flash said, I laughed. "Good one, I'm not pretty." I said laughing more than I should've. "I differ." Aqualad said as I stopped laughing, my cheeks were completely warm. Superboy was looking at Superman, Wonder Woman and Martian Manhunter talking. Martian Manhunter realized this and alerted Superman; Superman started walking towards us. Superboys arms were crossed in front of his chest, standing in front of superman. "Well... we'll figure something out for you... the league will... the league will figure something out for you. For now I... I better make sure they get that Blockbuster creature squared away." He said as he turned around and was taking off. 'I hate my life.' But I need to do it. "Hey, are you really gonna leave him like this?" I don't really know what I'm doing so I'll wing it. Superman stopped. "He is a clone, yes. But he is made from something out of you. You need to know that like it or not; he is family to you. He didn't asked to be made, but now he is living free from being turned into a weapon. Now he is a person, with a will of his own. Can't you see he is looking for guidance in you?" He stood there a few seconds and took off following where Hal and the others took Blockbuster. "Cadmus will be investigated, all fifty two levels. But let's make one thing clear.." "You should've called." Flash interrupted Batman. 'Do people really interrupt batman that often?' Batman looked annoyed at flash. "And results aside. We are not happy. You hacked Justice League systems, disobeyed direct orders and endangered lives. You will not be doing this again." He said.
"I am sorry but we will." Aqualad said. "Aqualad, stand down." Aquaman said. "Apologies my king. But no." Aquaman looked surprised by his comment. "We did good work tonight. The work you trained us to do. Together on our own we forged something powerful, important." Aqualad said. "If this is your treatment about the hall the four of you..." "The five of us, and it's not." Kid flash interrupted Flash. "Batman we're ready to use what you taught us. Or why teach us at all?" Robin said. "Why let them tell us what to do its simple. It's simple get on board or get out of the way." Superboy said as all five of us looked directly at them "I think we can make an arrangement right? After all there are threats the league can't stop when they're out there on the obvious threats." I said trying to bargain, batman's eyes narrowed.
We left the scene after being told to use a zeta tube to mount justice the next morning. I flew to coast city landing falling onto the ground as my ring was out of energy. "Oh come on we were right there." I said to the ring as I got up. My normal clothes replacing my green lantern uniform. "Ouch my everything hurts." I said as I got up and looking for the clock I was given it read 2:13. 'Oh great, Hal is already here.' I walked the rest of the way, fumbling with my keys as I was trying to unlock the door the house. I closed the door as silent as possible, only for the lights to be turned on. "Ah crapbaskets." John and Hal were standing in the living room. "Okay if this is about the fighting last week, old habits die hard." I said trying to sound reasonable and innocent. Hal and John just glared at me. I got scolded about what I did was wrong, and how it would've been awful if I got hurt or worse, my head was pounding against my skull, my eyelids felt really heavy as john was giving an explanation about his life as a marine, and I fell asleep in the chair that was mine, each one had a chair in Hal's house, Kyle and Hal shared the sofa when Kyle visited, John took the chair on the right side of the living room while I took the one beside the sofa so I could place my feet on top of the center table so I could be more comfortable, and Guy he took the other empty seat; not my brightest moment, in my history of being scolded... actually it is, I never fell asleep during them.
"GOOD MORNING." Hal yelled as he barged into my room it was an empty room he had, so he decided to give it to me, since he still had a guest room. I groaned as I was awoken. "Go away." I said as I covered my head with the pillow. "Whoa I've never seen you act like a teenager before." He said. "Tired, body hurts, go away." I said muffled by the pillow. "Noup, get a shower you reek, after that recharge your ring and come to breakfast were going to mount justice at 7." I just groaned, and kicked the air feeling angry at my predicament. "Don't make me use the ring." As he said that I got up, he always used that by dropping a bucket of water on me when I couldn't wake up.
I showered, but as I got out I looked at myself in the mirror. "Pff yeah right, I'm not beautiful. My brows are thin, my nose is too straight, my lips really thin and my eyes are weird. Don't know what Kid Flash said, or even Aqualad but it made me feel self-conscious; something I had long forgotten to do." I said to myself checking my face up close, my body was toned from all the exercise, the only thing I had for me was that, my chest was normal size that fit my body, my but was round, but my problem was all around my light toned white skin; its filled with scars; thin lines, long lines, stab marks, and two gunshot wounds. I remember each and every one when it happened, each stab, each slash, and both gunshots, the one in my side and the one I don't have but it's in my memory. It was for all the times I fought for my sister and her future. But is there someone here that could see onto other dimensions? 'Doctor Fate is the only one that I saw him do it, I wonder why hasn't he approached me, maybe because I slipped through the cracks and went to deep space. Wait never mind, Doctor Fate is not active until Zatara takes the Helmet. The other ones are the anti-monitor and Darkside, both of which I don't like.'
We arrived at Mount Justice at seven I had bandages bellow my Green Lantern suit since my everything hurt, my ring at full power. Hal said it was time that I stored my lantern in the pocket dimension which I never learned how to use it only for Hal to tell me to make a square in the air and use my ring as a doorknob. That is the simplest way to do it, he could call it by will to appear on his hand. I could only do it the easy way, well since it was my first time doing it a 5 minute lesson I learnt quickly enough after 3 tries that took me about a minute the other four were to practice open and close the dimension to grab the lantern battery.
Hal started moving equipment to get the station back online, I sat there for an hour, until everyone started arriving via zeta tubes. Superman kept looking at me, he looked lost in thought as he worked through the cave moving objects that looked like it could only be lifted by machinery, yet he was carrying them in one hand. Batman arrived along with the other mentors with their sidekicks. I waited in a construct in the shape of a crate to I could sit and watch everyone work. "Hey GL." Robin said to me he was dressed in civilian clothing but with the same color scheme and glasses covering his eyes. "Hey Robin, How was your scolding?" I asked casually. "Not bad, but not good. What about you?" He responded in the same tone. "Fell asleep during it." I said smiling, that made him laugh.
A few minutes later everyone else arrived, Aqualad waved at me he was dressed in a jacket and the same pants. I responded the same way. "Hey beautiful, is it just me or you get prettier each day." Kid flash said, I laughed not believing him. "Me? Yeah right. Good one Kid Flash." I said I was dressed in my casual clothing, blue jeans with green tennis shoes, a T-shirt that was like the suit of Hal, a black short jean jacket, and gloves that I never took off, since they were a present from my sister; they're black fingerless, while covering my hand up to my wrist. Along with glasses to cover my weird eyes. Superboy arrived a minute later, he nudged his head at me with a serious look as if acknowledging me I replied the same way. He was dressed in a short sleeved T-shirt with a red S of superman on his chest, he had blue jeans and black shoes, or boots, and I never knew what to call them never cared finding out about the name. After more heroes arrived we were gathered, all the sidekick stood in a line one beside another, Batman and the other heroes were looking at us., Captain Marvel, Black Canary, Red Tornado, Hawkman, Green Lantern and Aquaman looking at us. "This cave was the original secret sanctuary of the Justice League, were calling it into service again. Since you five are determined to stay together, and fight the good fight. You'll do it on League terms. Red Tornado volunteered to live here and be your supervisor, Black Canary is in charge of training, I will deploy you on missions." Batman said. "Real missions?" Robin asked. "Yes, as Green Lantern yesterday said. "We handle the obvious threats, while there are threats we can't handle." "We will handle the obvious, there's a reason we wear this big targets on out chests." Flash interrupted Batman. "But Cadmus proves that bad guys are getting smarter. Batman needs a team that can operate on the sly." Aquaman said pointing with a look to batman. "The six of you will be that team." Batman said. "Cool... wait six?" Robin asked. Batman looked behind us, we turned back to see Miss Martian, and Martian Manhunter. "Meet Martian Manhunters niece. Miss Martian." Batman presented her. She looked excited as she rubbed her right arm with her left hand. "H..Hi." She told us waving.
"Liking this gig more every minute." Kid flash said. "Welcome aboard, I'm kid flash, that's Robin, Green Lantern, and Aqualad." It's cool if you forget their names. I walked up in front of Kid Flash. "Ignore him he likes to joke, and welcome to the team." I said as I walked forward extending my gloved right hand to her. "I'm honored to be included." She said as Aqualad, Kid flash and Robin came closer to introduce themselves and talk to her. Superboy stood behind. "Superboy come meet Miss Martian." I said turning to him. He walked towards us not saying anything, as he stood in front of her white shirt started to change as if liquid was going up her shirt tainting it black leaving only the red X, and her cape disappearing. "I like your T-shirt." She said, he looked stoic, only for Robin to nudge him in the ribs, surprising him. Robin smiled at him making him smile. Kid flash ran beside him placing an arm on his shoulder. "Today is the day" Aqualad said I smirked.
