Why do these projects never turn out well?

It should be a simple task, give the common soldier superpowers. But things either go wrong, or horribly right. Try to make them Kryptonian, you make them into bearded idiots. Try for enhanced intelligence, Slade came out. Just go for bulletproof skin, we wind up with this sad person who's overacting pain centers are slowly killing him. Can't at least put the poor guy out of his misery, we just had to get the bulletproof part right. Sometimes I think those heroes still allow these initiatives to give them something to laugh at when they think of their dead parents.

The international law forbidding superheroes from interfering with wars exists for a good reason, I just wish we can give the brave men and women who fight for our country more than just a cheap piece of metal that might help with an AK round.

-General Isling's report to the Senate on Super Soldier programs.

A man sits on the floor of his cell writhing in unimaginable pain. He had been like this since the experiment two days ago, but it felt like months. Suddenly a voice came to him Do you wish the pain to ceace?

Yes, please, make it end! he thought to the new voice.

An awkward pause.

Well, do you?

I SAID YES ALREADY!

Oh, right, forgot. This telepathy only works one-way. I can project thoughts in, but I can't read the response, you're going to have to say it out loud, at least until you welcome me in.

"I welcome you." The man said, expecting the pain to leave

Great! Just invite me by name. I'm Eom, by the way.

"I welcome you Eom!"

The patient stood up free from pain "sucker!" he said in a voice that was not his.

Eom looked around the room, he now had a host body, he now needed to leave this cell, he walked over to the wall. Now let's see if I can do that thing the Flash does. He started to vibrate his molecules faster and faster trying to match the frequency of the wall. He soon found himself phasing through the floor and into the room below, full of security guards. The demon within smiled. Very nice, I get my vessel and the first victims in under 15 minutes, let's try this super speed out properly. In under a second all of the guards were dead, the Demonic-speedster had begun his rampage.

Red Robe woke up to a weird alarm. Robin opened up the door to the Living Room (which was where Robe was sleeping) to find Robe half way into his costume.

Robin threw Robe a new mask, it was shaped like his old one, but the hood was red a d the face covering cloth was white and stopped halfway down. Robe liked it instantly.

"Looks like orientation will have to wait until this is resolved" Robin said. "Titans, GO!"

Since this was a code 74 (speedster) alarm the fliers had to carry the non-flying members. Starfire carried Robin, Beast Boy was going to heft Cyborg, but Raven was having a difficult time getting Robe off the ground so BB carried the new guy while Raven carried Cyborg.

By the time the team got there the speedster had already killed an entire café full of people and was sitting casually at one of the outside tables. He slipped one of the victim's coffee while holding a ring box he had received seconds before his death. The speedster wrinkled his nose in disgust "If this was your taste in coffee, then I think I did your fiance a favor." He said to the corpse beside him. He then turned his attention to the Titans "oh, finally you show up, I was about to leave because of the slow service"

Robin just gave a death glare at the killer. he let loose the team "Titans, GO!"

The speedster smirked as he rushed towards Red Robe knocking him down and getting quite a few hits on him before Robin knocks Eom off with a birdarang. The killer started to attack Robin. "Shocked, are you? Tell me, did anyone you fought in your line of work follow the Geneva Convention? "

Don't feed the troll Robin thought to himself, this is the Joker with super speed, concentrate and power through.

After she had gotten the speedster's attention, Raven finally discerned his nature, "be careful, he's a demonic" suddenly her mouth was tied off Good girl, the monster within thought so that Raven could hear.

Red Robe suddenly had a smile on his face. He turned to Robin, "If he's a demonic any christian, including me, can take him out of the fight."

"Go ahead and do it" the leader said as the medic healed him. Robe kept trying to say something but he kept getting interrupted by a speed-by punch from the demonic. Starfire and Cyborg got his attention. However in under a second, Starfire was unconscious and the speedster was about to phase Cyborg's heart through his chest, but that all Red Robe needed.

"DEMON," Robe shouted mustering up all his faith "IN THE NAME OF CHRIST YOUR POWERS ARE INVALID!"

The speedster's hand vibrated slower until it was just little jitters Cyborg smiled and said "about time" and quickly subdued the criminal. When he finally had an opportunity the speedster commented "Two birds, your stone"

Raven finally got the rag off her mouth. The Titans were about to head home and celebrate the new member's victory when Raven spoke up in shock "I … I can't levitate!"
