Robin leaves the fight while Mia and the others end up behind. Kid Flash and Aqualad fight off the genomorphs. Mia just stands in her spot. Suddenly she feels a tight grip on her shoulder. She turns to see Guardian and a hard look set on his face.

"You're coming with me."

"You didn't say please," Mia sings then yells, "KID!"

Kid swoops in and sweeps her off her feet literally. Soon all of them are out of the room and run after the Boy Wonder.

"You okay?" Kid asks looking down at Mia in his arms.

"Yeah but man, dude's got some grip," Mia gingerly touches her bruised shoulder wincing a little.

"Think you can hang on just a little bit longer?"

"Tch. You guys aren't getting rid of me that easily."

Mia sends him a cheeky grin. He returns one. They finally find Robin hacking into the elevator's controls.

"Way to be a team player Rob!" Kid chides.

"Weren't you right behind me?" he calmly asks.

"No we weren't! I almost got taken away by Guardian if it wasn't for Kid," Mia states.

"Why didn't you just teleport away?" Robin casually asks.

"Can't do that with someone holding onto me because they get teleported with me plus I need to see where I'm going or else I'll end up in a wall or something," Mia explains.

"Got it," is all Robin says as he gets the doors to open.

The three of them quickly enter. Aqualad enters just before the doors closed with the genomorphs hot on his heels. Mia leans up against the railing letting out a breath she didn't know she's been holding. This is really happening or is it a dream? She moves closer to Kid then pinches his arm.

"Dude."

"Sorry. Had to make sure I'm not dreaming this."

Kid nods. He pinches her back. She feels the pinch. Yep, definitely not a dream.

Mia notices the elevator going down. "Um why are we going down?"

Aqualad and Kid look at Robin who has a determined look on his face.

"Dude, out is up," Kid states.

"Unless you think there's an exit in the basement then we should totally go," Mia gives her two cents plus an eye roll.

"Excuse me? Project Kr, it's down on sub-level 52," Robin explains.

"This is out of control. Perhaps—perhaps we should contact the League," Aqualad offers.

The elevator dings and they've arrived on sub-level 52. Robin leaves first.

Kid looks to Aqualad. "We are already here."

The speedster follows the Boy Wonder. Aqualad sighs. A gentle hand rests on his shoulder. He looks to his right to find Mia smiling softly at him.

"If it's any consolation, I know how you feel."

"You do? How?"

"That's a story for another time. C'mon we should go after them before they do something stupid."

Aqualad nods then they go after the boys. All four of them end up hiding behind some barrels at a fork in the road.

"Which way?" Aqualad asks

"Yeah bizarre-looking hallway 1 or bizarre-looking hallway 2?" Robin sarcastically remarks.

"Flip for it," Mia suggests.

Before they did anything, a new voice speaks out. "Halt!"

One of the genormorphs walks in wearing a white 'nurses' outfit, standing on two legs like a normal person and can speak the English language. He uses his telekinetic powers as his horns and eyes glow red sending a barrel at them.

It explodes when it connects with the ground. They duck just in time and make a run for it. Mia hops on Kid's back. As he runs down the hall, she makes a sarcastic comment.

"And the winner is bizarre-looking hallway 2."

"I knew there's a reason why I liked you."

"Thanks Kid," Mia looks up. "Kid watch it!"

"Huh?"

And the two of them barrel into a female scientist. Both of them quickly get up to reach the closing door. Kid places a small canister to keep it propped open to give them enough time to get inside. First, Mia, Kid second, Robin third and finally Aqualad; who kicks the canister out of the way allowing the door to close.

"I disabled the door. We're safe," Robin states.

"We're trapped," Aqualad counters.

"Uh, guys. You'll want to see this."

"Yeah you really do."

Kid and Mia comment as they stand in front of the control panel. Kid presses a button. The lights inside the pod turn on revealing the contents inside.

"Whoa!" Robin calmly exclaims.

All of them not sure what to do with the information currently processing in their minds. Mia takes out her sketchbook to do a quick sketch of the body inside the pod as well as the creature that attacked them recently. Kid walks up to the pod finally getting a look at the symbol on the glass.

"Big 'K', little 'r', the atomic symbol for Krypton," he looks back. "Clone?"

"Robin, hack."

"Oh. Right, right," Robin hacks.

The boys listen to what information Robin found while Mia ignores them and focuses on her drawings. She continues to not listen until Kid makes a statement that stops her dead.

"They're making a slave out of, well, Superman's son."

That's it, that's the word. Slave. A flashback of what happened to her three years ago gives her chills and causes her to drop the book. They look to her with concern. Aqualad's the first to speak.

"Mia, are you alright?"

"Wha—Yeah I'm fine, don't worry about me," Mia force a smile.

Letting the matter drop, the boys go back to the conversation but Robin keeps an eye on her through his peripherals.

"Now we contact the League," Aqualad orders.

They pressed their comms. They try again. There's no response from the other end.

"No signal."

"We're in too deep literally."

"Perhaps Mia can get us out."

They look at her. The young girl shakes her head.

"Sorry guys. Unless you want to get stuck in the walls, I can't do anything. Man am I useless or what?"

"You are not useless, we will find a way out," Aqualad comforts Mia as he lays a hand on her shoulder.

He notices the sketchbook on the ground and picks it up. It's a little black book with a few tears in the spine and some stains he wishes to not know. His curiosity gets the best of him.

"May I?"

"Of course, knock yourself out," Mia smiles.

He opens the book. Just a glance at the first drawing, Aqualad instantly knows he's in the presence of an art prodigy. Looking through the book he sees sketches ranging from plants to building to people. Her most recent sketches are Superman's clone, the two genomorphs, and finally them from early in the afternoon.

"You like?" Aqualad slowly nods. "I can do a group sketch later if you want, free of charge."

"Do people buy these drawings from you?"

"Well not the ones from my book but yeah they do. The only people who buy my stuff are the rich and powerful from every major city in the nation. I do portraits, locations, scenery, etc. and they just buy all of it," Mia states acting like it's no big deal.

"Then why—"

Mia raises a hand. "That's for another time."

The Atlantean nods. He goes back to Kid and Robin after giving the book back. Mia feels a chill running down her spine from behind her. Her eyes drift to the clone.

"Weird," she mutters taking a good look at the Kryptonian clone.

She notices the small three genomorphs in the pod settled above the clone. Their horns glow red. Strange. I think they do that when...oh no. Robin opens the pod. Mia takes some steps back as the pod completely opens.

"Robin, are you sure that's a good—"

Mia ducks in time as the clone bursts out from the pod. He goes straight for Aqualad and starts punching him. Kid and Robin try their hardest to hold him back.

"Whoa! Hang on, Supey."

"We're on your side."

The clone punches Kid away.

Mia yells out. "Kid!"

She rushes over to him. Kid lands on his stomach not moving. Mia shakes his shoulders but he doesn't wake up. She leans down to listen for his breathing and instantly relaxes as she hears him breathing.

"Thank god," she mutters.

Her attention moves away from Kid when she hears Robin struggling. She turns to see the clone stepping on Robin's chest. The young girl goes into taking action when Aqualad lends a hand in getting the clone off; well, more like a hammer made of water and knocking the stuffing out of the guy. With the clone away, Mia goes to check on the fallen Robin. She sighs in relief at the fact he's only unconscious.

"He's okay. That's good and all but what about Aqualad?" Mia softly says watching the Atlantean and clone fight.

Aqualad grabs onto the clone's back and electrocutes him but it doesn't work. The clone jumps into the ceiling to knock Aqualad off his back. The first time doesn't work but the second time does and Aqualad falls to the ground unconscious.

Guess it's my turn. "Hey Mr. Tantrum!" The clone turns back to look at her. "That's right I'm talking to you. Hit me with your best shot!"

He goes after her. Mia waits until the last second to teleport before he can punch her. She succeeds.

"Didn't they teach you that it's not ok to hit a girl?"

She ends up behind him. When he turns to punch her, she teleports again. Mia keeps this little game up and occasionally swifts his legs out from under him as well as taunting him.

"Missed me!" He misses. "Oh so close. Would you like to try again?" He misses again. "Missed me, missed me. Now you gotta kiss me." He misses for the third time. "Oh, three strikes. You're out!"

His anger rises. Mia appears behind him again but before anything, he grabs her by the throat in surprise. He walks over to the door opening it with one hand. The lead scientist looks inside the room seeing our young heroes out of commission with pride then looks at Mia with curiosity.

"Hmm I don't believe that you're a sidekick. So what do you do? Put her down," he orders.

The clone puts her down but keeps a grip on her shoulders.

"Let me ask again. What can you do?"

He gets up right in her face. She spits him right in the middle of his face. Not liking her response, he slaps her across the face and a triumphant smile appears on his face but it drops when he hears her laughing.

"Wow. Who knew you hit like a girl? C'mon doc, I know you can do better than that! Hit me like you mean it. I've been hit a lot harder than that buddy."

He raises his hand again to slap her but drops his hand as a cruel smile appears on his face. Mia's cocky attitude drops.

"I have a better idea," he looks back at Guardian. "Keep this one tied up and get the boys into the cloning chamber."

"Yes sir."

Guardian comes over and ties her hands behind her back. He ushers her to the cloning chamber while the clone takes the boys.

Don't worry guys, I'll get us out of here. "So just out of curiosity, what do you plan on doing with me?" she asks Guardian.

"Classified."

"Alrighty. How about what you plan to do with them?"

"Classified."

"Is that the only word you know?"

"No."

"Perfect! Now we're getting somewhere. So how's it like working for Dr. 'I Slap Like A Girl'?"

"Desmond? He's okay."

So his name is Desmond, got it. "Are you really going to follow his orders? I mean you guys are making living weapons like Supey over there and they're not truly alive because you're making them your slaves. What's wrong with you?!"

"They're bred this way."

"It's not fair! Each and every one of those genormorphs has the right to live the way they want! You can't take away their rights!"

Little did Mia know, Guardian's G-gnome's been transmitting everything she's saying to every single genomorph in Cadmus. Guardian suddenly stops mid-stride shaking his head in pain.

"C'mon, I know you think that all of this is wrong! You have to fight it Guardian. Damn it you're a hero for God's sakes, heroes don't enslave people!"

"Shut up."

"I know that you still have good inside you. You have to stop this!"

"SHUT UP!"

He grabs her by the throat unknowingly lifting her in the air. His fingers slowly choke her. It can all end right now. The man just needs to squeeze a little tighter then it's over.

"Guess I was…wrong. You're not a hero…ackh…you're a v-villain," Mia chokes out as she glares at Guardian.

Her words must have gone through to him because he lets her go. She coughs as she tries to gasp for air. Mia looks up at him with a hard stare. He just looks down at her with a blank face. Guardian pulls out a roll of duct tape and tapes her mouth shut.

"Peace and quiet."

He roughly picks her up and continues their walk to the cloning chamber. I have to do something before we get killed. Mia attempts to make a plan as they enter the cloning chamber.
