I'd like you to forgive me from any changes in cannon I make but I want to shake things up a little.
2010 July 4th 23.12 EDT
I awake a uncertain amount of time later but from the lack of scientists surrounding me or trying to help me I can only guess that it's only been a matter of a few hours as overwhelming someone would have come and found me by now.
I'm clued into exactly how few hours as after what feels like a few minutes the lights dim onto the lower night cycle setting.
Oh yes the lights had been turned back on at some point, it was weird now that I think about it that they were ever off, in all my time in the prison I've never seen the lights outside go off.
I don't know how long I lay curled up in my tatered remains of a cage before I start to move, I wiggle my fingers first and then my toes,
"Toes" I shout out as I try to clap my hands in joy at the thought of having toes again, my voice sounds weird too high pitched for what i think I normally talk in and my throat is raw with saying just that one word but then I release I'm speaking I can't hold myself back from crying tears of happiness as I lay curled up in my sphere.
I'm so happy I hug myself, it's hard not to within the now very tight confines of the sphere but I hug tighter all the same and Voice rings in my head with feeling of 'good job' and rightness.
I'm curled up in a tight ball within the confines of the sphere unable get more than a few fingers out of the largest seam in the walls of the sphere.
I can remember the pink light pulsing away from me and creating the small gaps in the sphere along the seams but I can't really move enough within the extremely cramped sphere to make any really use of them.
I try to straighten out my legs and I think I hear the metal groan but cramped up as I am in the sphere I can't put any real force into my efforts.
So I start kicking the walls little by little trying to bend the metal, I know that if you hit metal enough it'll bend and I'm fairly sure I can do that, well eventually.
The noise around me becomes a slow series of clangs as I try again and again to force my way out of the shell.
Like a bird in a egg I am ready to hatch now that I'm big enough 'slightly too big' I add in my head not really feeling up to speaking to Voice when she'll understand just as well within my head.
Clang gang clang" goes my feet against the metal slowly like a clock I keep working at it until I here a noise in the distance.
It's a siren different to the one before I took my proper shape but similar enough.
'Someone must be coming to check up on me!' I think only just realising that with the night cycle having started a while ago and my transformation happening at what I think was around midday I must have been left alone for hours! 'I wonder what could have happened that stopped them checking up on me?'
Surely now there see that this is how I should be and let me out of this sphere' I think as I smile for a second before preparing to shout out to them before stopping as Voice screams out in my head "keep going the noise is bad."
I feel sure that Voice is wrong 'who would deliberately hurt someone other than a monster?' I think but voice is insistent that I keep going so I do.
"Clang ,,Clang ,,Clang" Goes my feet against the wall of the cage louder now that I've done it for so long and gotten a little more space to move my legs with each blow.
"Oh crud" I here someone say from the next door over just audible under the siren before a heavy thud is heard
"We're cut off from the street" says a much deeper voice
"Thanks my head hadn't noticed" replies the first voice snarkely.
Extremly loud bangs then ring out from that room as if someone if hitting a wall with a forklift truck.
"I can't hack this fast enough" says a third voice sounding like it's from a smaller person than the others "this way!"
Suddenly the door to my room is kicked open and I see a boy in red skin tight Lycra and green tights run into my room shortly followed by a man dressed all in yellow, one with dark skin and a weird tattle and neck and finally a boy covered in a white skinsuit.
"What the... This wasn't mean to be here" says the smallest one of the four having spotted my cage and hearing the banging from within.
I want to call out for them but I'm so scared and Voice won't let me cry out so I just keep banging on the walls of my cage until the metal finally giving way...
...
Robin stared at the strange metal orb which lay in the middle of the room the supports on which it stood lay buckled ether side of the sphere like the legs of a spide buckled under some sort of extreme heat.
The walls of the room were also blacked around the orb like a heat had come from the orb it self. Amongst the floor and walls he noticed a number of golden rods sticking into the wall like oversized pencils pushed into clay they lay around the room a few of them having sent with enough force that they lay embedded in the walls of the room.
He tried to snatch one that was sticking into the floor at a angle by his feet only to notice that he couldn't pull it out, such was the force that it had been pushed into the floor.
"What's is that thing?" He asked superboy as he turned a inquisitive eye towards the cloned krptonian before rapidly turning his view back to the orb after hearing a clang come from within the sphere.
"I ,I don't know!" admitted the superboy sounding as confused as he had when he hadn't been able to fly "the genomorphs taught me nothing about this thing!" He said pointing towards the orb.
"Don't want to be the downer here but don't we have to move like right now?" Said Kidflash as he made a hurrying motion with his hands.
More clangs came from the orb before a section of the plating holding the thing together buckled causing a long brown foot to shoot out of the orb. The limb extended far further from the orb than it looked like it should be able to contain, 'whatever was in there was big' thought the boy wonder.
"Okay now I'm whelmed" said Robin outloud as watched the limb thrash a little about the floor before retreating into the orb again.
"It's a human" he heard superboy mutter as he stared at the orb.
"I believe it is time to depart" said kaldur in a surprisingly calm but loud voice as he pushed his back against the door through which they had come in, as a banging started to be heard from the other side.
'The genomorphs must have been able to catch up to them despite the head start' thought Robin as he took one final look at the orb before deciding that they didn't have the time to check it out right now.
Inside the orb was one of two things neither of which would be of use right now, it would either be a trap or another type of krptonian clone and right now they couldn't afford another fight, they'd reach the surface and then come back with proper justice league forces.
"We'll come back for you" he shouted at the orb as he directed his group towards the other door out of the room.
As he reached the exit out the door he noticed that whilst kaldur and Kidflash had moved to follow him allowing a flood of genomorphs into the room, superboy had instead started to move towards the orbs a look of fierce determination on his face.
"What are you doing" shouted Robin as he watched as superboy batted away a small Genomorph that had got in his range on his way to the orb "don't let them out now, we can't afford another fight" said robin
The statement turned out to be a bit pointless as at theat time the far door that he and the others were going to exit out of burst open to reveal a swarm of genomorphs with Guardian leading the group. Behind the Cadmus hero squirmed through a few trolls as they struggled to fit through the door.
"Surrender, your outnumbered" shouted Gaurdian as he pointed behind him to the growing numbers of genomorphs.
"Never" said Robin as he caught a glance of superboy reaching the orb before suddenly dropping to the floor.
'Mind attack' was all Robin had time to think before he dropped to the floor unable to even turn his head he watched as around them the smallest Genomorphs horns glowed a blood red.
Robin struggled in his mind to remember the lessons that batman had taught him about how to fight mind control but despite trying to strengthen his will and confuse the attacker by changing suddenly what he wanted his body to do he could barely even stay concoius.
His head slowly cleared and he almost felt able to move before he heard A voice ring out into the sudden silence.
"I Choose Freedom!" Shouted superboy as rose from where he had slumped just I front of the orb before he ripped open the ball in front of him dropping on the floor in front of him with a thud a large figure.
'What just happened' thought Robin wearily as he struggled of the last of the mind control only to stare at the figure lying at superboy's feet, he quickly glanced at superboy face itself as he watched the clone show a slowly increasing pink colour on his face.
The figure below him slowly unfurled from where he, 'no definitely not a he!'thought Robin as he watched the expanding form come out from the tight ball she had held herself in from when superboy had ripped her container apart.
The long black hair that fell to cover her light brown skinned back barely added any decency to the fact that she had been completely naked in that prison and superboy seemed to have got a eyeful as he stuttered in front of the girl his eyes avoiding her as he showed clear signs of embarisment.
Robin watched as superboy turned his back on the girl and ripped of the top of his solar suit only to hold it behind his back to her. When she didn't immediately grab it he turned around tucked here arms into the sleeves so that the suit at least covered her front and privates though not nearly enough thought Robin.
"It's like a fogs lifting from my mind" Robin heard Gaurdian say as he held his hands up to his head. As Robin watched the Genomorph on Gaurdian's shoulder jumped off and the surrounding genomorphs backed off slightly.
Robin moved over to help kid flash stand as he watched aqualad slowly rise still keeping a eye on the genomorphs and the strange new girl he wondered what she was?
"Is she a female clone of superman?" He wondered outloud hopping that Gaurdian might answer the question that he was also throwing to superboy and the girl herself, she didn't really look it but if she was a half clone or a genetically mutated one he supposed she could be.
Robin unclipped his cloak as he approached the girl, she still lay on the ground her back to the air she had her knees and hands on the ground whilst she seemed to be trying to stand.
"Here" he said throwing the cloak over the girl so that now at least she was fully covered. She was simply to big for superboy a top to have covered everything.
"I don't know what she is" said guardian "I didn't even know we had her here" "you guys go, I'll deal with Desmond" he waved a hand through the door he had had come from telling them to get out.
"I think not" said a voice from behind the rows of genomorphs that parted to reveal the head scientist Desmond " Project blockbuster will give me the power to return order to Cadmus" he stated as he downed a vile of blue liquid before crumpling onto the floor and beginning to tear at his skin.
The scientist moaned in pain as his form grew larger and larger and first his clothing and then his very skin spit apart only to reveal dark grey skin crisscrossing with red lines that seemed to act like vanes.
As he finally stopped growing and rose to his full height he stood just under 3 metres tall by robins estimate and looked like someone had crossed Bane on full Juice with a tombstone.
"Ragh!" Shouted the creature in a roar as it charged towards superboy and what Robin tentatively labeled in his head as Supergirl.
Superboy jumped straight at the blockbuster creature as it charged and knocked it back into a wall before he was battered aside with a backhand so hard that his face made a squeaky noise with the floor as his body was thrown across the room.
'Ouch' winced Robin as he watched superboy get right back up and charge at Blockbuster only for them both to shoot out of the room and up to the next floor as blockbuster jumped them through the ceiling.
"Do you think he planned that ?" he heard Kidflash ask as he stared confusedely at the sudden hole in the ceiling.
"I doubt he is planning anything anymore" replied Aqualad as he put a hand around kid flashes waist before hooking them both up to the next floor.
Robin was about to grapple up himself when he felt a strong hand grip onto his leg causing him to try to jump away but the grip remained strong before he thudded down to the ground and gave a glare at the 'Supergirl' holding him.
He was about to snarl at the girl to drop him before he saw the look on her face, she didn't seem like she was fighting him more like she just wouldn't let the last person who had shown her any kindness out of her sight.
"Fine" sighed Robin "grab on" he said as he held out a hand for her to hold as he re aimed his grappling hook.
He could imagine the lectures he was going to get from batman when he heard that he had released and put his life in the hands of not one but two super powered kryptonians.
As the girl stood up superboy said top as her top and robins Cape as a skirt he relished just how big she was as she towered above him '6 foot what?, she must be as tall as batman' wondered Robin as he eyed her.
The grappling hook pulled them up with only a little whine for the increased weight of the girl but for Robin he felt like he was easily dragging along a extra 100 kg as he pulled her along with him.
The sight that he saw as he entered the ground floor of the Cadmus facility wasn't a good one as he watched superboy be punched through a support for the ceiling.
"Stay here" he commanded the girl before hurrying off to attack the Blockbuster from behind with a sweeping kick to the back of his head.
Blockbuster must of heard something as he swiped a hand behind his head making Robin perform a quick sumersault over it to land right in front of blockbuster.
Robin's attack though had acted as a distraction which aqualad and Superboy had taken advantage of to punch Blockbuster over backwards onto the crouched form of kid flash who tripped him up.
"Ha, learnt that one in pre school" said Kid Falsh with a smirk.
Blockbuster merely shuck its head before staring around the room and charging at 'Supergirl'.
"Watch out Supergirl!" shouted Robin as he tried to move to help the girl unsure just how strong she would be and weather she would be able to take a attack from the colossus that was Blockbuster.
The girl noticed the charging monster and seemed almost to focus for a instance her face sharpening from the confusion and mild fear Robin had seen on it so far into one of clarity.
As blockbuster reached her she jumped upwards about two meters and used one of the pillars holding up the ceiling as a springboard creating a small crater with the force of her push she forced herself towards Blockbusters head. In mid air before hitting him she spun around before using blockbusters head also as a springboard to push herself straight up into the air.
The force of the Supergirl hitting Blockbuster once again caused the monster to crash towards the ground a roar escaping his lips as he landed hard against the ground.
As Supergirl started to fall from her peak height she seemed to almost hang in the air for a second longer than she should before crashing back down towards blockbuster her feet aiming again for his head.
she fell to slowly if anything as Blockbuster battered her away into the arms of Kidflash who tried to catch her only to find her too heavy and the both of them to be sent tumbling only for him to land on her in a awkward position.
"glad to catch you beautiful but a be more careful" flirted wally as he stood back up before giving the girl a hand her long dark hair spread out behind her like her own cloak..
Robin watched Blockbuster send superboy spinning to take out another pillar only for the sudden light of inspiration to dawn on the boy wonder.
'the pillars' he thought as he brought up a hologram map of the room before crossing off certain remaining pillars.
"K F!" He shouted causing the yellow speedster to hurry over to him, "I need you to get him to take out these pillars" he said as he highlighted a number of points on his map.
"got it" shouted Kid Flash as he ran off to Blockbuster before punching the monster in the face and tearing of what little of his skin remained.
"Got your nose" mocked Kidflash as he taunted blockbuster who could only roar in anger before charging.
"Aqualad c'mon" shouted Robin as he laid out his plan.
As the second to final columns in the room came crashing down Aqualad spilled a pool of water in the middle of the room onto which Blockbuster was lured and then tripped before being electrocuted.
"Everyone together now" shouted Robin as he pressed down on his detonator causing the remain columns in the room to collapse before the ceiling itself slowly fell down on them superman on the edge before Supergirl and Aqualad and then the squishy Robin and Kidflash in the centre of the group.
The roof of the Cadmus facility collapsed causing a unnatural stillness to fall over the sight of the battle before it was broken as superboy threw off the blocks he was holding off the group.
"We won" said Kidflash with a goofy smile on his face.
Was there ever any doubt?" Said Robin as they gave each other a high five before wincing as pain shot up both of their arms.
"Are you okay Supergirl?" said Kidflash suddenly serious before he turned his goofy smile to the girl.
As Robin watched she stopped moving for a second and seemed to be listening for something before nodding and breaking into into a big grin and trying to wrap her arms around everyone in a massive hug that he and kaldur ducked under only managing to get wally and superboy in her arms.
She laughed as she jumped a metre into the air lifting both the boys with her once again causing Robin to watch as she definitely hung in the air for like two seconds before touching the ground again. 'She's looking more kyrptonian by the minute' decided Robin.
'Nice laugh' thought Robin as he heard it 'not a pretty laugh but near contagious' he thought as he laughed with her.
"I'll take this as a yes" said kid flash as he laughed as well before groaning out "it hurts to laugh" only to be suddenly dropped by the girl who looked so apologetic that even superboy managed a smirk as we watched her fret over Kid flash for a second before again grabbing superboy and laughing happily.
"Hey, look the moon" said Kidflash as he pointed towards the large orb hanging in the sky.
Both of the Cadmus children stopped at hearing that and turned to stare at the moon, even the 'supergirls' laughter stopped as she watched the sky.
"oh and superman, do we keep are promises or what!" Said Kidflash as out of the glare of the moon appeared figurehead of the justice league.
As both the Cadmus siblings watched in wonder as superman flew towards them they noticed a mass of other league members behind them, slowly the group lands and surrounds the smaller group of young superheroes.
As superboy strides forwards towards superman he looks back only to grab 'Supergirl' before displaying himself and her in front of the league and lifting her arms to prominently display supermans symbol that she was wearing on his top.
A look of hope on superboy's face dies as he watches the reaction on supermans face at seeing himself and the girl.
"Are they what I think they are?" Says batman darkly as he stares at the pair in front of him.
Superboy pushes in front of the girl and starts speaking " I am a clone of superman"
"start talking" says batman.
...
Eventually the whole story comes out with a little prodding from batman along the way, what's been thought by Robin up to that point is now near confirmed as the Supergirl fails to remember anything or even speak during the questioning merely nodding along,
the only information they get out of her is that she says she was made down there in Cadmus but she can't remember when, well that and that there's some sort of weird pink diamond shaped thing where her belly button should be.
'ive now got a name' thought Supergirl, though I don't think this one is quite right, she heard Voice add in her head before also silently agreeing. It sounds nice but she'd like another one as well.
Supergirl sticks with her sibling as the questions fly her and his way, the boy doesn't seem to like her but she reckons as she's taller and their for the big sister that's okay she'll love him anyway as something in the back of her mind says that's what family does.
Eventually the one who they call superman looks there way and she stares back almost crying, if what her brother says is true then he's basically his dad and if he's his dad then he also must be hers and she's wanted a hug from her dad for so long now.
a voice whispers in her mind that he's not the right shape but she blocks it out.
as he comes over looking unhappy all the way she becomes ever more exited and she can feel her brother through the hand she holds also tense.
"Superboy .. Supergirl" he said staring uncomfortably at the pair of them.
"we'll sort something out, that is the" that's all superman gets to say before she throws herself around him hugging him tightly enough that he makes a oof noise as she tightens her hug, well that or he's really surprised.
It feels good to hug him but it's not giving her the glow she felt earlier when she hugged Kidflash and superboy. The hug feels off a little, perhaps it's that despite her size being as tall as he is he barely moves under her hug staying rooted to the ground.
"I uhm, I'd better see how that blockbuster creatures doing" he says trying to break away from her before receiving a incredibly sad pair of puppy dog eyes from her large face. Superman looks more uncomfortable before sighing and giving her a slight unsure hug back and saying " I need you to let go now, please" she lets go slightly and he takes the opportunity to pat her brother on the back before flying off into the sky.
The siblings turn to face each other both unsure of what to do before Supergirl gives a bright grin and reaches to hug him as well.
"knock it off" he says as he pushes her away looking sadly at where superman flies off.
She doesn't hug him after that not through lack of wanting but because he stalks off to where the other three have been having a conversation with their own mentors.
"Why let them tell us what to do" stated superboy "it's simple get onboard or get out the way" stated her brother looking firefly towards where batman stood.
"Hmm" was all that they got out of Batman "it'll be considered."
..
and with that this chapter is done!, I know that stevonnie being called Supergirl is weird but consider it from Robins point of view, he's met superboy and now he founds a girl with a bit of super strength who he has suspions of having more powers, I'd guess she was Supergirl.
my desprictions of stevonnie are pretty poor though out the chapter, so if anyone leaves in the reviews a better description I'll try to add it.
Punctuation and grammar will be fixed, eventually.
