2. Fireworks

-Cadmus-

A G-gnome sits on one of the desks in an expansive lab as Desmond paces across the center. Finally slowing as seven screens come down from the ceiling. All seven are active, but instead of pictures, white outlines counteract the blue background.

?:Dr. Desmond, you require an audience with the Light?

Dr Desmond:Yes. Very sorry to disturb you at this late hour."

He says, seeming like a tiny mouse to compared to the lion he acts like to Guardian and the others.

?2:Just make your report

Another man's voice speaks up, annoyance clear in his tone. 

Dr Desmond:Of course..ahem. Well, we had a small fire, here at Project Cadmus. The origin of the incident is still unclear but seems to have attracted some… unwanted attention.

As he continues to speak the scene changes to show Kid Flash, Robin, and Aqualad, Supergirl unconscious in pods as Superboy and Powergirl watch over them.

Dr Desmond:The three sidekicks, Robin, Aqualad, and Kid Flash, Supergirl had breached security. They found and released the weapon, the Superboy and Powergirl. Of course, the clones are under our telepathic control and as ordered turned against his would-be liberators. The four are contained and we don't believe the League knows they're here

With that, he finishes his report then comes to why he really called them

Dr Desmond:Uh… what should I do with them?

?:Is the other patient secure?

Dr Desmond:Yes of course Doomsday is still in his pod should I release him?

?2:No you fool, he isn't to be let out but any means necessary the damage he could seek would be catastrophic

Dr Desmond:I didn't mean to insult you I-

?2:Clone them..the sidekicks

?3:The substitutes will serve the Light and only the Light

Dr Desmond:And the originals?

?:"Dispose of them. Leave no trace

Above ground in Washington DC fireworks are going off. Even though it's now 12:01 in the morning

?:

Kid Flash comes to, gasping for air and his green eyes flying open. The other three are just as alert now too. Their attention trained on the glaring Superboy and Powergirl before them.

K.F:What? What do you want?"

The speedster asks, his annoyance fighting his fear.

K.F: Quit staring. Both of you are creeping me out!

Robin:Uh, KF, how about we not tick off the guy and girl who can fry us with a look?

Robin suggests to the seriously freaked out speedster

Desmond and the scientist that was in Project Kr walk down the organic-looking hall

Dr Desmond:Prepare the cloning procedure for the new Project Sidekick, now

Desmond instructs. She leaves instantly and Desmond continues to walk until he is side-by-side with Guardian.

Guardian:Almost done here Doc

He tells him once he comes to a pause. A G-troll holds the door stable while a worker welds the broken configurations.

Desmond continues forward, then stops short in shock as he seems the pod is empty.

Dr Desmond:Where are the weapons?

He demands, though there's anger in his voice, there's fear in his eyes.

Guardian:Superboy' and Powergirl?They carried the intruders to the cloning chamber

Dr Desmond:We have Genomorphs for that! Get the weapons back in its pod now!

Guardian:I don't see the harm in letting the kids stretching their legs

Guardian not trying to pick a fight with Desmond because he honestly doesn't understand the problem.

Dr Desmond:Don't you now?

Desmond asks, raising a single eyebrow as the G-gnome on his shoulder horns begin to glow.

Guardians eyes go wide, but blank before they harden into an angry glare,

Guardian:Those clones belongs in a cage!

Aqualad:We only sought to help you.

Aqualad tries to tell the clones, calmly.

K.F:Yeah. We free you, and you turn on us. How's that for grat-

Aqualad:Kid, please, be quiet now. I believe our ffriends were not in full control of their actions.

Supergirl:Im willing to give them the benefit of the doubt it's only seems right

With the conversation gaining ground Robin activates a lockpick in the pointer finger of his glove and begins to work on his restraint.

Superboy:Wha-what if w-we…

He trails with an annoyed huff, his voice never been used so his words don't come out quite right and his tone is slightly scratchy.

Superboy:What if we weren't?

K.F:He can talk?

Kid Flash questions shocked

Superboy's hand clenches into a fist again as he practically growls his words at Kid Flash, Powergirl sets her hand on his shoulder slightly calming him down as she speaks up for him

Powergirl:Yes, we can

The three look at Kid Flash who looks rather confused back at them.
