"Superboy, the goal is escape. Not to bury ourselves here."
I groaned softly and opened my eyes, only to see Dick standing in front of me as Superboy finished off the giant Genomorphs that we're blocking the elevator.
"He has anger issues." I mumbled, making all of them turn to me. "Uhhh... hi?"
"Welcome to the land of the living, Domino. Had a nice nap!?" Kid exclaimed, but Dick hit him in the head.
"I gave her the shot which makes her drowsy. Combine that with the shock from the pod and the blood we lost. I consider it a miracle she woke up this fast." He scoffed and helped me stand, placing one of my arms around his shoulder and Kid grabbed the other doing the same. "You alright, Domino?"
"Nothing I haven't endured before." I shrugged as they helped me walk to the elevator. "How are we going to do this? I can barely walk on my own!"
"We'll each jump a floor and help. You'll be fine." Kid assured, jumping to the first column and held out a hand.
"Too slow." Superboy grumbled, gesturing for me to hop on his back and jumped to the elevator shaft, flying to at least thirty levels above before gravity pulled him back down. Luckily, Dick threw a Batarang for him to hang onto. "Superman can fly. Why can't I fly?"
"Don't know," Kid says, drawing Superboy's attention to him and Dick who are standing on the level just below us. "But it does look like you can leap tall buildings in a single bound. Still cool."
"Guys, this will have to be our exit!" Dick exclaimed, pointing at the elevator that was about to crush us.
"More Genomorphs!" I yelled once we were in the hallway. Superboy tightened his grip around my ankles and sprinted in the other direction yelling orders, only to be met with a dead end. "Oh, this is perfect... Robin, you thinking what I'm thinking?"
"Way ahead of you, Domino." Dick smirked, opening the vent with his grappling hook.
"I can't carry you in there." Superboy admitted, gently setting me down.
"It's alright. Crawling inside vents is my specialty. Follow me."

"I hacked the motion sensors! Still plenty of them between us and out."
"Great, and I've got room to move." Kid grinned and turned around. "Ready for a speed round, Domino?"
"You're kidding?" I asked just as Aqualad picked me up and set me on Kid's back. "Am I gonna vomit?"
"Not if you close your eyes." He smirked and took off, knocking Genomorphs along the way. "Having fun?"
"Not really." I called out, just as he stopped in front of a locked door.
"We're cut off from the street." Aqualad grumbles annoyed as he, Superboy, and Dick run to catch up with us.
"Can't hack this fast enough!" Dick yelled in frustration and knocked down a door. "This way!"
Wrong way because now we're surrounded by Genomorphs and Guardian.
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.
"Sleep." They whispered. Kid barely managed to set me down before we all fell and passed out.
Not this again.

"Domino, wake up!"
Feeling cold water being poured on me, I immediately sat up and glared at Aqualad who shrugged with a small smile.
"What happened?" I asked, looking down to see my suit was partly ripped and was bleeding out of my right arm.
"You wouldn't wake up. You missed Desmond turning into an alien and Superboy beating him to dirt. It was awesome! Oh, and the League is here too."" Dick grinned and I nodded slowly. "Next time, I'll let you go crazy and put you on a leash."
"I think we should go back to the straight venom in the meantime. Makes me less drowsy." I mused and he laughed, pulling me away from the rubble.
"Domino, Robin." Bruce called out and we both sighed in relief when he crouched down in front of me and wiped the soot off my forehead. "You both alright?"
"I've never been happier to see you than I am now, B-man." I smiled as he helped me stand.
"Start talking."

"Cadmus will be investigated, all 52 levels but let's make one thing clear-"
"You should have called." Flash pipes up.
"No signal." I pointed out. "Believe me, we tried!"
"End results aside, we're not happy." Bruce spat and I hid behind Dick. "You hacked Justice League systems, disobeyed direct orders, and endangered lives. You will not be doing this again."
"I am sorry, but we will." Aqualad states strongly, even Dick steps up slightly.
"Aqualad, stand down." Aquaman attempts to command.
"Apologies, my King, but no... We did good work here tonight, the work you trained us to do. Together on our own we forged something powerful, important."
"If this is about your treatment at the Hall, the four of you-" Flash tries to understand where we're coming from but is completely off.
"The five of us, and no!" Kid interrupted.
"Batman, we're ready to do what you taught us, or why teach us at all?" Dick continued and I nodded, finally stepping up.
"You taught us so much, Batman. We just want to do the same work you do... do what you taught us." I said and Bruce widened his eyes through his mask while Aquaman looked impressed and Flash gave me a small thumbs up.
"Why let them tell us what to do?" Superboy questions, his arms uncrossing as he too steps up. "It's simple. Get on board or get out of the way."
"Or whatever the Kryptonian said... that works too."

"This cave was the original secret sanctuary of the Justice League. We're calling it into service again. Since you four are determined to stay together and fight the good fight you'll do it on League terms... Red Tornado volunteered to live here and be your supervisor. Black Canary's in charge of training. I will deploy you on missions."
"Real missions?" Dick asked.
"Yes, but covert."
"I can live with that for now." I smirked, wrapping an arm around Dick's shoulder.
"The League will still handle the obvious stuff." Flash speaks up from behind Kid Flash's right shoulder. "There's a reason we have these big targets on our chest."
"But Cadmus proves the bad guys are getting smarter. Batman needs a team that can operate on the sly." Aquaman continues, then turns his head towards Bruce to continue the flow of conversation.
"The six of you will be that team." Bruce states.
"Cool! Wait." Dick does the very simple math and realizes the problem. "Six?"
"This is the Martian Manhunter's niece. Miss Martian." He introduced the green red-haired girl walking to us.
"Another girl? Sweet!" I grinned.
"Hi!" She waved and I waved back excitedly.
"Liking this gig more every minute." Kid smirked before running up to her. "Uh welcome aboard, I'm Kid Flash, that's Robin and Domino, Aqualad. It's cool if you forget their names."
"I'm honored to be included." She smiled and I ran up to her, pushing Kid out of the way. "I like your smile, Domino."
"Thanks? I... I really like your hair." I shrugged and her smile widened.
"Hey Superboy come meet Miss M!" Dick called out and he walked up to us.
"Today's the day." Aqualad smirked and we nodded.
"Today's the day."
