"Well, so much for stealth." Robin muttered as his team entered Project Cadmus's underground levels, since due to the overwhelming amount of security they'd seen around the actual Cadmus building, despite the League's attempts to draw them away by acting like their trap had worked, Powergirl had suggested a different approach. One that Powergirl had found a solution, since she knew from experience that Cadmus's real operations would be hidden underground, so she recommended that they use the sewers to infiltrate that way. A plan that Robin had supported until they got to the wall separating them from Cadmus.

When she decided to get them in by just punching the wall and creating a hole in the wall, setting off kinds of alarms.

"It's not like they weren't gonna find us eventually. Like when we free all their science experiments. Or more accurately, all my siblings." Power Girl said, reminding them all that she was another Project Cadmus clone and that despite her appearance, she was the one youngest one in the group.

"You were never going to settle for just springing Superboy were you?" Robin realized.

"No, I wasn't. This isn't just a rescue mission. It's a jailbreak and we're not leaving anyone behind." Powergirl said.

"And I'll help you anyway I can." Wonder Girl promised her best friend.

"I know." Powergirl assured her, since if there was one person she knew would have her back here, it was her.

"I'm with you too." Lightning said, since she probably understood Powergirl's desire to free her people better than the rest of them did.

"Thank you. Robin, Spoiler?" Powergirl asked, needing to know if this would be where she and the Dark Knight's proteges parted ways.

"We're with you." Spoiler promised before Robin could say anything.

"Robin?" Powergirl asked their final holdout.

"I never wanted to be a team leader. I understood why Supergirl put me in charge, since I do have the most experience, but I'm not Nightwing and I'm no leader. But you, on the other hand, are. It looks like one of the things you got from your sister was her leadership abilities. Besides, Cadmus is your turf. Your mission. And I'm more accustomed to following than leading anyways. This squad is yours to command. Now, what's the plan?" Robin asked as alarms blared.

"Well, first, I do this." Powergirl said as she activated her own anti kryptonite suit as a precaution in case of any kryptonite that Cadmus might have stockpiled in case they ran into her or her sister or Superman. Or if Superboy got loose.

"And now what?" Robin asked.

"We split up. Wonder Girl and I are the heavy hitters, not to mention we've been training together for months, we're used to working in sync with each other. We'll provide a distraction for the rest of you to find and breach the security office. Once you secure it, Spoiler, I want you to hack in and not only find all the files we need to expose Cadmus for what it really is, but more importantly, get the files on every project Cadmus has, including Superboy, though from what I heard, his file might be labeled project Kr, just like how my original name was Project Red Sun." Powergirl said.

"Glad you came up with something cooler. But that sounds like a plan." Robin said, knowing that they'd made the right choice by changing the leader from him to Powergirl. She was the clear choice.

"Hey, what are you kids doing down here?" A security guard asked as he rounded a corner.

"Go. We've got this." Powergirl asked, grateful that her kryptonite suit was designed to allow both her vision and freeze breath through the visor of the suit. One of the perks of both it and her regular suit being made out of special kryptonian tech from Supergirl's island and she knew that her sister was working on plans for an upgrade to her current suit made of the same tech.

Robin nodded as he led Spoiler and Lightning and away while Powergirl and Wonder Girl exchanged grins before the party really started.

"Are you sure we shouldn't have stayed?" Lightning asked Robin as they kept to the shadows, searching for the central data core.

"Yeah. Like Powergirl said, she and Wonder Girl have been training together for months. And she was clear. Their job is providing a distraction so we can sneak around undetected." Robin said as they finally found the main server room.

"Lighting, think you get us in?" Robin asked, since the door had an electronic lock.

"Piece of cake." Lightning said as she zapped the lock with a light jolt, enough to short out the lock without sounding the alarms.

"Okay, when we get in there, let Spoiler and I handle the fighting, since we've got more skill in hand to hand combat and we don't want to risk accidentally frying the computers we need information from." Robin said and Lightning nodded as Spoiler opened the door and they found the room suspiciously empty.

"Shouldn't there be IT people here to maintain the servers?" Lightning asked.

"Yes. It's suspicious. But that doesn't look like any kind of computer system I've ever seen." Spoiler said.

"Especially since it looks more like some kind of prison cell. Let's take a closer look." Robin said as they moved to get closer and saw that this server room was some kind of prison cell, containing what looked like some kind of green alien.

"What is that thing?" Lightning asked as Spoiler tapped into the Cadmus database.

"Cadmus calls it Project Brainiac. Which is appropriate considering the fact that this thing is a Coluan, the same species as Superman's enemy Brainiac. According to their records, they found him shortly after they detected his ship crash a few years ago. They brought both here and while they've tried, they haven't even been able to take it apart. But they were able to use his Coluan physiology to run the Cadmus mainframe, a completely air gapped system to prevent anyone from accessing their system." Spoiler said.

"Clever. But now we're setting him free, since it sounds like doing that will take down the entire Cadmus network and hopefully he'll still have all the knowledge we need to not only expose Cadmus, but to complete our mission." Robin said.

"On it." Spoiler said as she got to work.
