Chpt.7

Jess reached my house in about fifteen minutes, and I showed him what was on the computer.

"So how exactly are we going to go through with this?" he questioned.

"my dad's last page that he was looking on about Cadmus was about an abandoned lab in Gotham city." I explained.

"So what?"

"So we go to Gotham, find the lab and take it from there." I explained. Jess let out a sigh, then stated,

"I better call me mom. First she's worried about dad, and if I don't come back by curfew, she'd be worried about me." he took out his cell phone, and quickly said

"Hey mom. It's Jess. Ela, me, superheroes, Gotham city, love you." and he quickly hung up. I gave him a quizative look. He swiftly turned off his cell phone, and stated,

"she can't say no." I chuckled softly, then we both got geared up. In no time I had on my black trench coat, black gloves, purple bandana, and my hair was tightly twirled under my brown fedora. Jess was also ready in his red domino mask, red trench coat, black jeans, and black boots.

"Let's move out." he grinned. We ran outside to our bikes, and we were headed towards Gotham city. It was about a thirty minute ride since we lived on the outskirts. I wasn't a big fan of Gotham city. It was violent, people were always in danger, and psychos ran a muck. Only one good thing came out of Gotham. And his name was Batman. Dad worked with him before. It was actually Batman's idea to get Dad to snoop around Cadmus.

The deeper Jess and I made our way into Gotham, the more I noticed the slum. It was growing to darker, so people were hurrying home praying not to get stuck in the night life. There was garbage lying all in the streets, and every time we rode past an ally way, I could swear that I saw shadows moving. The city gave me the creeps, and I didn't feel safe. I had to give Batman his props. Facing this city was probably the toughest thing he had to do. Probably. I don't think even dad could get into Batman's head and figure him out. We were getting close to our destination, so Jess and I chained our bikes to a pole.

"You know, the chances of us seeing our bikes again are little to none." I stated.

"yah. Man this city is creepy." Jess sighed. I nodded my head. Definitely not some sort of Metropolis, or Central City. We headed into an ally to talk, and to my relief there was no mugger inside.

"Okay. So we know that the Lab is on Bramblegate street, and is abandoned." I stated.

"So what should we be looking for? Just some abandoned building with a sign that states "Cadmus Labs" on it?" Jess inquired sarcastically.

"Believe me. We should be able to know it when we see it." I informed. We climbed up onto the roof tops so we wouldn't be seen on the streets. We jumped roof to roof until we finally reached Bramblegate street. After looking at each building, there were none that were abandoned, and the same amount that seemed to be capable of holding anything that would be a Lab.

"So. We'll know it when we see it huh?" Jess questioned. I disregarded him.

"Bramblegate street. This should be it. What happened? Dad's always right." I muttered. I looked down at my feet, and my eyes rested on something. A drainage hole. I bent down to take a closer look at it, then tried to remove the bars covering it. They wouldn't budge.

"What are you doing?" Jess questioned.

"It's Bramblegate street." I answered, pushing down on what looked like a screw, but it was a button. The bars easily moved, and I hoped in. "well? Are you coming?" I questioned. Jess sighed, and hoped in.

"Did I mention how much I hate the sewer?"

"You're such a baby." I giggled.

"Am not. Just… do you realize what can be in here?" he questioned.

"to be honest, I try not to think about it." I sighed, taking out a flash light to see what was ahead of me. We then saw a door.

"a door in the sewers. You don't see that everyday." Jess stated.

"Yah." I answered, opening it. We walked into a room filled with computers, test tubes, chemicals, and various guns. "I think we found the Lab." I stated. I quickly went to the computer, and started to try to crack the code. It wasn't working well.

"Blood Boy…" I started to snicker a bit. "can I just call you BB when you're in costume?" I questioned. Jess sighed, but nodded his head.

"Fine."

"Thanks. Call James for me. Tell him that you got a hold of an older computer, and you're trying to crack the code." I explained. He did so, and with James help, the code was cracked in no time. I had no idea how James could manage to do it. Without even knowing it, he cracked into a highly classified government computer.

"Thanks James. Bye." and with that, Jess hung up. He then turned his attention to me. "what came up?" he inquired.

"There's a folder on every single hero up in the watch tower. Your dad, my dad, my mom, Batman, Wonder Woman, Superman, literally everyone. It has supposed ages, guesses on their secret identities, weaknesses, abilities, and tons more."

"So where do we go from here?" Jess inquired.

"No where." a voice echoed from behind us.

Who is the voice!?! Please review! hope you enjoyed!
