"We're not gonna get far if we have to drag this guy through the facility." Powergirl said, referring to her unconscious brother.

"I'm attempting to wake him up psychically now." M'gann said.

"Good. What's the range of your psychic powers?" Powergirl asked.

"Why do you ask?" M'gann asked.

"Brainy, have you confirmed that your ship is still flyable?" Powergirl asked the Coluan, who nodded.

"Yes. I was able to access the ship remotely on our way here. It's in a hangar a few floors above us where my ship is being held." Brainy said.

"M'gann, once you've woken Superboy up, I want you to send a psychic message to every genomorph in Cadmus and tell them to meet us in that hangar. We're getting everyone out of here. Now." Powergirl said and M'gann nodded, though she returned her efforts to trying to wake up Superboy.

"Any word from the league?" Powergirl then asked Robin and Spoiler.

"Nothing yet, but that's not surprising, since not only are we several miles underground, but Cadmus is most likely employing some kind of signal jammer." Robin said and Powergirl turned to Brainy.

"You said that you used to run the Cadmus mainframe before Spoiler unplugged you and they switched to some kind of backup system. Do you think you can bypass the jammer and activate our commlinks? We need to inform the League that we've secured our objective and it's time for them to assist in taking down Cadmus once and for all." Powergirl said, since they could use the Justice League's help right now.

"Consider it done. I'll just need a few moments." Brainy said.

"Hurry." Powergirl said, right as Superboy woke up, thankfully, since that meant that they could finally start to move. Or they would have if he hadn't suddenly pounced forward towards Wonder Girl, intent on choking her and it was only her training and reflexes that allowed Wonder Girl to dodge before Powergirl knocked him back.

"Calm down, we're not here to hurt you. Especially since you're my brother, you idiot." Powergirl said to him.

"Project Red Sun." Superboy said, calling her by the name the g-nomes had identified her as.

"Don't call me that Project Kr. You're Superboy and I'm Powergirl. And I have a real name beyond that and once we get out of here, I'll help you pick one too." Powergirl said.

"Freedom?" Superboy asked and Powergirl nodded.

"And not just for you, but for all the creations Cadmus is holding prisoner. All the genomorphs. Along with our new friends, Brainy and M'gann. M'gann's the one who woke you up." Powergirl said.

"And removed all Cadmus programming from his mind, since it appears that they learned from their mistake with you and had already begun installing mental programming in his mind." M'gann said.

"Can you please do a scan of my mind to ensure that they didn't do anything that Jeremiah may not have been made aware of?" Powergirl asked, since she had to be sure that there weren't any hidden surprises.

M'gann's eyes glowed green for a moment as she performed a deep psychic scan on Powergirl's mind, since she'd momentarily let her mental guards, which J'onn had taught her how to raise in the first place, down to allow M'gann full access to her mind.

"You're clean. It looks like this Jeremiah person managed to get you out before they could contaminate your mind." M'gann said.

"An oversight we'll correct soon enough, now that you've returned to us and with so many new test subjects." Lillian Luthor said as she walked out of the shadows with two people by her side. One of whom Powergirl recognized and hated with almost as much passion as she did Lillian herself, but the other one, she'd never seen before.

"Who is this?" Lightning asked, though she prepared to light these people up as Wonder Girl gripped her sword and Robin readied his bo staff.

"Wonder Girl, Lightning, Robin and Spoiler, meet LIllian Luthor. Mother of Lex Luthor and the head of Project Cadmus. Or what's left of it." Powergirl said.

"Which in a way makes me your mother. And you've been a very disobedient little girl." Lillian said and Powergirl looked disgusted.

"Keep dreaming. That would imply that you ever saw me as anything more than a weapon that you weren't going to dispose of as soon as I no longer had a purpose. But anyways, I recognize Hank Henshaw, your so-called Cyborg Superman and one of the main reasons people are afraid of aliens, but who's your other rent a cop? The burning boy?" Powergirl asked, since while Henshaw stood on Lillian's right, to her left stood a guy who looked around the rest of her team's age wearing a yellow and orange suit with a silver device on his chest, his eyes were pure white and most significantly, his head and hands were on fire. Though that didn't look like regular fire to her. More like nuclear energy.

"That's right, you ran away before you could meet our newest acquisition. Meet Jefferson Jackson, or as we like to call him, Firestorm." Lillian said.

"You brainwashed a kid into serving you. Not sure why I'm surprised." Powergirl said.

"I have to be sure that I don't lose anymore kids like I lost you." Lillian said.

"Yeah, about that." M'gann said with a grin as the subtle glow in her eyes that none of them had noticed, well, none of the Cadmus people had noticed, since while M'gann had been in her mind, Powergirl had asked her to setup a psychic link between the members of the team to allow them to communicate without Cadmus knowing and the second she'd seen Firestorm, she'd ordered M'gann to free Firestorm from Cadmus's control while she kept them talking to distract them.

Firestorm immediately turned on his captors and shot a fireball at them.

"Thanks for the save." Firestorm said, only for them to be surrounded by countless Cadmus soldiers.

"Don't thank us yet. The day is still young." Powergirl said.

"Stand down kids and we'll just put you back in pods." Lillian promised.

"Hell no. You're not podding me again." Superboy said.

"On that we agree." Powergirl said as they got ready to fight, only for the roof to shake and collapse as suddenly Supergirl, Superman, Batman, Wonder Woman, Martian Manhunter, Vixen and Black Lightning dropped through the hole.

"You're not putting anyone in pods again Lillian. Lex might be free, but we've got more than enough to put you away where you belong. And before you try anything, Superman and I are both wearing anti kryptonite suits and we trashed all your other anti league protocols on that wild goose chase you tried to send us on. It's over." Supergirl said.

"We're not going down that easy." Henshaw said, only for Lillian to surrender.

"What are you doing?" Henshaw asked her.

"I know when we're beat and I'd like it known that I cooperated when I'm brought to trial." Lillian said.

"Smart move. But I get the feeling that you're the only one smart enough to do that." Supergirl said as Batman moved to arrest Lillian.

"More like I'm not a coward. But I do know how to choose my battles." Henshaw said as he used his cybernetic eye to create a flash of light to escape.

"Typical. But let's wrap this up. I think there are several questions that need answering." Supergirl said, referring to Brainy, M'gann and Firestorm.

"I'll tell you everything back at the Hall." Powergirl said.

"Good. And then we'll evaluate your performance. I have to admit, maybe this team thing won't end up being a one time deal. We'll discuss it more later. For now, let's wrap Cadmus up. Once and for all." Supergirl said.
