Chapter 2

Second Person P.o.v
You turned towards the pod that Kid Flash was in as he awoke and gasped for air.You then turned to the other four who were also awake and alert.Superboy's attention now turned on them as the teens glared at the two of you."What?What do you want?"Kid Flash asked,his annoyance fighting his fear,"Quit staring!You two are creeping me out!"Robin and Nightingale exchanged worried looks as they saw your's and Superboy's eyes narrow."Urm KF,how about we not tick off the guy who can fry off with a look?/Kid,how about we not tick off the girl who can astral project us into somewhere and just leave us there?"Robin and Nightingale suggested simultaneously to a now freaked out Kid Flash."We only sought to help you."Aqualad said calmly."Yeah!We free you two and you two turn on us."Kid Flash pipes up,currently getting more annoyed by the second,"How's that for grat-"He was interrupted by Nightingale who sent him a harsh glare that shut him up almost immediately,"Kid Flash,not to be rude or anything but please shut the hell up.I believe that these two were under protocol when they were fighting us so shut up before one fries us with heat vision while the other makes us lose our minds!"With the conversation gaining ground,Robin activates his lockpick at the pointer finger of his gloves,slowly picking the lock."Wha-what if we..."You trailed off with a slightly annoyed huff,Superboy then continued for you,"What if me and Silver weren't in control of ourselves?"Kid Flash looked shocked as he looked between the two of you,"They can talk?"Superboy's hand clenches into a fist as he practically growls his words out at Kid Flash,emphasising the "they","Yes,they can."You touched Superboy's shoulder softly as you tried to calm him down.Nightingale,Aqualad and Robin looked at Kid Flash whom looked back at them confused,"Not like I said "it"..."You sighed as you massaged your temples,trying to ignore who you now knew as Kid Flash."The genomorph taught you telepathically..."You heard the eldest teen say as you look at him."They taught us quite a lot....We can read,write...We also know the names of mostly everything on earth..."You admitted."But have you actually seen them?Have they actually let you see the sky?Or the sun?"Robin asked,knowing how much all four of the other teens whom were captured takes those three things for granted.You were about to speak but Superboy already began to say something so you kept quiet and listen,"Images are implanted in both our minds.."Superboy admitted as he himself as well as you looked down with a sort of ashamed feeling.He then continues,"But no.We both have not seen them.Nightingale looked at you and Superboy sympathetically while Aqualad turns towards the more pressuring matter,"Do you know what you are,who you are?"Superboy stood tall as he looked at Aqualad,"I am the Superboy,a genomorph,a clone made for the DNA of the Superman,created to replace him should he perish...to destroy him should he turn from The Light."You noticed that after Superboy said the last part,the four teens exchanged worried looks between themselves."What about you Silver?"You heard the only girl on the group of teens ask."As Superboy said,we are both genomorphs...We are also clones but I am Silver,the clone of the original Silver Sorceress whom is now deceased.I was created to act as a guard to protect Superboy and to help assist in destroying Superman should he turn as well as to replace the dead Silver Sorceress."I said as I looked up at the girl."To be like Superman and Silver Sorceress is a worthy aspiration,but like Superman and Silver Sorceress,you deserve a life of your own beyond that solar suit,beyond your pod,beyond Cadmus."You heard the eldest teen say before you felt Superboy started to get angry,"Me and Silver live because of Cadmus!It is our home!""Superboy,it is only his opinion.Calm down."You said as Robin looked at Superboy after his outburst,"Your home is a test tube.We can show you the sun."Kid Flash looked at Robin before he turned back to the two of you,"Uh,pretty sure it's after midnight but we can show you the moon.""We can show you,introduce you to Superman except for you Silver since Silver Sorceress is now deceased...."The eldest teen said,seemingly agreeing with Kid Flash.Your's and Superboy's eyes widen slightly at the prospect before a new voice enters the conversation,"No they can't.".You turn to see the brown haired ponytailed guy followed by another guy in a gold helmet and a female scientist with glasses."They'll be otherwise occupied..."You heard the ponytailed guy say with a smug tone."Activate cloning process."You saw the female scientist head to somewhere in the room while you and Superboy stood to the side."And get the weapons inside their pods!"The ponytailed guy demanded."Pass!Batcave's crowded enough!"You heard the teen in multicoloured suit say."Same n my situation...I don't think my mom and aunt would like to have another Nightingale running about!"You heard the girl,now known as Nightingale says to the ponytailed guy."Hey,how come he gets to call Silvy and Supey an "it"?"Kid Flash questions.The guy in yellow helmet steps up to you and Superboy,placing his right and left hand on you two's shoulders respectively.You shrugged the man's hand off as you glared slightly at the man before hearing a "Help us" coming from the oldest teen.You saw Superboy had now shrugged off the man's hand,looking at the man with the golden helmet on with an angered look.The ponytailed man then approached the two of you from behind as he began to speak to you two,"Don't start thinking now.See both of you are not a real boy or girl in Project Silver's case.You are a weapon and you belong to me!"You heard the man say before feeling a weight on your shoulder and turned to look at what it was which turns out to be a genomorph.You then clutched your head as the genomorph's horns glowed red,causing your senses to be clouded and you to block out whatever noise or commotion out."Well,to Cadmus.Same thing...Now get back to your pod!"Feeling compelled,both you and Superboy walked out of the room towards the direction of where your pods were at,the genomorph's on both your shoulders horns still glowing red.Walking down the hallway,you felt the genomorph's mental grip on you loosen and soon you broke free.By then,Superboy was also free from the mental grip as both genomorphs run off to somewhere.Both of you looked at each other,passing on a secret message to each other before running back to the room where the four teenagers were in.Ripping off the metal door that was blocking you two and the teens,Superboy holds it above his head before throwing the door away with ease.You followed behind him,floating a few inches off the ground unknowingly.The ponytailed man,the man with the golden helmet as well as a new humanoid looking man make their way towards you."I told you two to get back to your-"With a flick off your wrist,you threw the ponytailed man to the ground,cutting the ponytailed man off.You then observed Superboy used his left hand to fling away the humanoid looking man as well as the man with the golden helmet.Superboy then approached the ponytailed man before growling out a "Don't give me orders.".Both of you turned towards the four teens as you stepped in front of them."You here to save us or fry us and send us to some astral dimension thingy?"Kid Flash asked.You saw Superboy glare for a moment while you tried to astral project them somewhere but none of your powers seem to be working."Huh...Superboy doesn't seem to have heat vision and I don't seem to have astral projection yet so I suppose helping you guys and girl is our only option..."You said as you saw the multicoloured suited teen got his wrist restraints open before opening his ankle restraints and jumping out of his pod."Ah.Finally!Luckily Batman isn't here.He'd have my head for taking so long..."The escaped teen said."Seriously!That's what you're worried about Robin?"Nightingale deadpanned before she glared at the teen now known as Robin,snapping at him angrily,"The whole league would have our heads after tonight...Then my mom and aunt as well as sister too..."Kid Flash agreed to what Nightingale said as Robin ignored both of them,going to the control stations and hitting one of the buttons,causing the pod's doors for the other teens to be open.Robin then turned to Superboy and you,"Superboy,get Aqualad.Silver,get Nightingale.I'll get Kid Mouth...""Don't you give me and her orders too!"Superboy growls out but goes to release Aqualad.You flew towards Nightingale as you used your magic to blast open the restraints on her wrists and ankles.You supported her as she thanked you."You-you'll never get out of here!I'll have you back in pods before morning!"The ponytailed man yelled as Nightingale chuckled darkly,"Well Desmond,I think not...You can burn in hell...Robin,now..."The boy in the multicoloured suit now known as Robin to you just sighed,"That guy is so not whelmed...Not whelmed at all..."Robin than launches four disk like things back into the room to where the containers containing the blood of the four teens,destroying it."What is with you and this whelmed thing?"You heard Kid Flash asked Robin as you all turned to leave.Nightingale just groaned before saying a "We got to go now!" as the two teens nodded their head frantically before rushing off.
First Person P.o.v
In the hallway,me,Superboy and the other teens were running down some kind of hallway with some bumps that glowed the same red colour as the horns on the genomorph."How deep are we?"I asked as Nightingale glanced at me."We are still 42 level below ground."The girl says, not even panting as she runs at full tilt."But if we can make the elevator..."She trails a G-trolls block their way, first two further away, then more and steadily getting closer to them.The five others stop and look back the way they came the glowing orbs now have pale white figures moving inside them. Genomorph Elves come out in a large group.We are trapped now....The lead G-troll strikes from behind and all of us jump back to avoid it's crushing blow. Aqualad and the Nightingale moves right around it, while Kid Flash and Robin go left. Superboy glares and jumps to cross it in the jaw. Knocking it down, but he is then surrounded by three more and is brought down as one pins him to the ground with its massive paw.Using my telekinesis,I threw two away from Superboy,leaving the rest to him as I caught my breath.Another drops low on all fours and swings its head towards Aqualad and Nightingale,attempting to hit them with its large horns. Aqualad jumps into a backflip over the assault, giving Robin the chance to get in front of it and take its attention as he grabs his horn to follow Aqualad over the G-troll's shoulder.Kid Flash has another tailing him and runs it into the wall, before running along it to end up beside Aqualad,Nightingale and Robin. The four turn as they hear the hallway shake and crumble. Their attention lands on Superboy who is fighting off G-trolls and slamming them into the wall and using his full strength,despite the fact that it's causing the hallway to begin to fall apart.Aqualad speaks up, nearly yelling, but just so he can ensure that he's heard. "Superboy, the goal is escape. Not to bury ourselves here."Superboy turns to the three with an insane look, but also anger playing across his face. "You want to escape?" he demands, grabbing an unconscious G-troll's arm and throws it into the two that are coming towards him with a battle cry.'Superboy,calm down.'I reminded Superboy telepathically as he sighed,trying to take deep breaths.As he does Aqualad pries the elevator doors open, this time taking no care in the fact that he's bending the doors.Nightingale,Kid Flash and Robin join him, looking at the twelve story drop below them, and the seemingly never-ending darkness above them.Kid Flash jumps to the side of the column,while Robin uses his grappling hook to get a couple stories above them.Nightingale just used her magic which was similar to mine to sort of "fly".As a G-troll comes to take out both Superboy and Aqualad with a mighty punch the Boy of Steel grabs Aqualad's waist and jumps into the elevator shaft. Attempting to fly, and getting nearly 30 levels before gravity begins to pull them back down.Shock shows on Superboy's eyes, while confusion shows in Aqualad's." I-I'm falling." he realizes numbly.My eyes widen as I realised what's happening, using my telekinesis,I lifted both boys up.I was straining myself but I couldn't and wouldn't let go. Still holding onto him, Superboy's eyes have sadness and confusion filling them "Superman can fly. Why can't I fly?""Don't know," Kid Flash says, drawing the Boy of Steel's attention to him,Robin and Nightingale who are standing on the level just below them."But it does look like you can leap tall buildings in a single bound. Still cool."Nightingale added as Kid Flash helps Superboy down to the small ledge as I let myself relax slightly,"flying" onto the ledge as well.Aqualad follows shortly thereafter."Ah, thank you." Superboy murmurs.A whir from above them catches Robin's attention. "Guys, this will have to be our exit."Above us,a high-speed express elevator is coming down.Aqualad and Superboy take out the doors, now showing that they are on SL-15. All of us just making it out of the column in time before we were squashed into liquid.G-elves are attracted to the sound and make their way towards us in a squad of five, followed closely by a G-troll.
"Turn left, sister ." a voice says in my mind.Me and Superboy's eyes widen, slightly confused as we looked at each other,but after a few seconds,our mind's made up. "Go left! Left!"Both of us relays.The others all follow us as we shouted the directions the voice was telling us."Turn right."The voice said as we both shouted a right.All five of us make the tight turn, only to be lead to a dead end. The only thing available is an air vent a few feet below the ceiling."Great directions, Supey." Kid Flash says sarcastically. "But I can forgive you Miss Silver.For Superboy,are you trying to get us repodded?"Nightingale smacked the upside of Kid Flash's head as she reprimanded the red head."No. We-we don't understand." Superboy and I both confessed as Aqualad and Robin catches up to us."Don't apologize. This is perfect!" Robin says excitedly.In the vents Robin leads the way, followed by Nightingale,Aqualad, Kid Flash, me then Superboy bringing up the rear "Ugh, at this rate we'll never get out." Kid Flash complains as Nightingale glared at him."Shh." Superboy shushes, coming to a stop and so do the others. "Listen."Within the vent system are the G-elves, coming after us attempting-escapees.Nightingale was attaching some wires to a motion sensor which we had all just noticed as Robin instructed her on what to do to the motion sensor."I hacked the motion sensors.With Robin's help of course." Nightingale announced as she unplugged the wires that she had placed on the hacked motion sensor."Sweet." Kid Flash says brightly, though probably just happy to be out of the vents and in the hallways again."Still plenty of them between us and out.Also,I'm hacking the next thing that we have to hack Nightingale." Robin grumbles, but we are also right by the emergency staircase.Kid Flash brings his goggles down over his eyes. "But I've finally got room to move." Then opens the door and starts running up levels at super-speeds."Kid Flash!Wait!"I yelled.Coming down the same staircase from a level above him are droves of G-elves. He doesn't stop, in fact, he smirks and increases speed. Taking them all out and clearing the way for Aqualad,Nightingale,Robin and Superboy."More behind us." Robin calls out to Superboy. As Superboy gets to the platform he stops and slams his foot down on the connecting stair. Knocking the whole staircase down and all the G-elves on it.I used my telekinesis threw some of the G-elves that were climbing up using the remaining bits.I think this may be my main power for now...Kid Flash continues up the staircase at super-speed, making out the door that indicates that he is at Sublevel 1. As he does an alarm begins to blare, and massive doors in front of him close. His eyes widen as he realizes he won't be able to stop in time. "Oh, crud." Hitting the doors hard, and his head hitting first, then falling back to the ground a few feet away from the barrier then tumbling over twice before coming to a stop on his butt.Nightingale and I both laughed when we saw what happened but stifled it when Aqualad and Robin sent us pointed looks from where they were."We are cut off from the street." Aqualad grumbles annoyed as we ran to catch up with Kid Flash.Kid Flash rubs the back of his head with a grimace. "Thanks. My head hadn't noticed."The redhead said sarcastically as Superboy walks past the fallen speedster, punching the door, but not even getting a dent in it. He begins trying to pry it apart, but can't do. Aqualad takes half and he takes the other, but even their combined strength cannot get the doors open.Trying out my other powers,I tried using a ball of magic energy to try and blast the door open after everyone stepped away but even that wasn't working.It was as if Cadmus was prepared for this kind of stuff like us escaping.Robin is typing at high speeds on his gauntlet, grumbling annoyed. "Can't hack this fast enough.""You idiot!Let me help you.Take this as a kind of payment for helping me hack the motion sensors just now."Nightingale hissed as Robin as both hackers tried to hack through the door.

A G-troll's growl was heard as two come around the corner. Robin and Nightingale notices a door to their right as I turned to where they were looking at."This way!" Robin and Nightingale shouts in unison to the other four who had not noticed the door,Robin completing a 270 rotation before side-kicking the door open.The G-trolls can't make it through the door, but in the adjoining hallway is a drove of G-elves, another pair G-troll, and Guardian waiting for them. Not to mention a G-gnome on every creature's shoulder. Behind us, a third G-troll and a half dozen G-elves cut them off.Aqualad removes his water-bearers, forming dual swords as we all drop into fighting stances,Nightingale and I with swirls of magic energy that were swirling around our clenched fists.One of the G-gnome's horns begin to glow, setting off a chain reaction as all the other G-gnomes do the same. Linking everyone against us telepathically.All of us straighten out of their dropped stances before falling to the ground. Only Superboy falls to his knees while I clutched my head from the intrusion of my mental state." Perhaps for the sake of all Genomorphs our brother Superboy and sister Silver should make up his own mind." Dubbilex says to all the Genomorphs telepathically.Both Superboy's and my eyes widen in realization " It was you."I said in shock as Superboy opened and closed his mouth as if I had taken the words out from his mouth."Yes,sister .I set the fire and lured your new friends into Cadmus, woke them when they were in danger-" Dubbilex lists."And guided us." Superboy finishes. "Why?"" Because you are our hope, the Genomorph hero. You will blaze a trail for all our brothers and sisters, showing us the way to freedom." Dubbilex tells Superboy.The golden helmet man whom I had just noticed groans and grips his head, then the G-gnome jumps from his shoulder. "What's going on?" he questions, stirring Aqualad back into consciousness."What is your choice, Brother?What is your's too,Sister?" Dubbilex asks Superboy and I as we looked at each other before standing tall."We... choose... freedom." Superboy and I stated with conviction aloud so everyone can hear us."Feels... like fog... lifting." The man manages as the other three teen boys and girl get back to their own two feet as well."Guardian?" Aqualad asks since right now his head is clearer than Robin 's,Nightingale's and Kid Flash's."Go." The man now who I know as Guardian tells instructed us with a slight frown. "I'll deal with Desmond.""I think not." Desmond growls, all Genomorphs behind Guardian part ways to allow Desmond to be visible. "Project Blockbuster will give me the power to restore order to Cadmus." he says then downs one of the blue vials that he was working on in his lab.Guardian backs up, standing protectively in front of the us as Desmond begins to transform. First, it's just his veins popping under his skin, but as he falls to his knees and his body rips through his lab coat and shirt Kid Flash and Robin's eyes pop in shock while me and Nightingale gasped. Desmond's head lifts from his arm as growls, some of his skin tearing off as his sclera turns black and his irises go bright red, Aqualad grimaces in hesitation. Finally, he stands back up and growls all his old skin ripping off him and now replaced by thicker grey skin instead of his normal skin in most areas. Superboy tenses as he roars, but doesn't attack, even as the once-Desmond turns towards us and growls, some his hair and old skin still attached to the left side of his head, breathing heavily.Guardian puts his hands out to the sides, but the palms turned towards us behind him. "Everyone back!" before he runs at Blockbuster, only to be swept aside like he's nothing and into a wall a good three or feet off the ground.
