I said, "There's still plenty of them between us and out." Mustard boy said, "But now, I have more room to move." He sped up and out through the door. We followed him through the door and found more genomorphs. He knocked all of them out with his super speed. Robin said, "More behind us." Superboy punched the staircase twice and the rest of the stairs fell. When we finally caught up to Mustard boy, there was a metal wall. Captain Obvious said, "We've been cut off from the street!" Mustard boy sat up and said sarcastically, "Thanks, my head hadn't notice." Superboy and Captain Obvious were punching the metal door to try and get it to open while Robin was trying to hack it open. We had a genomorph mammoth growl, meaning that they were coming closer.

The door finally opened and we ran in. Only to find ourselves surrounded by more genomorphs. I got my whip and held a fighting stance. When was this shit show ever going to end? Suddenly my vision began blurring, did I speak too soon? I saw Mustard boy and Captain Obvious pass out. Soon, Robin also fell. And then I fell too, but landed on something softer than the ground. Everything was black now.

I opened my eyes to find that I was being carried by Captain Obvious to behind a pillar. What the fuck happened? I turned to look around and saw everyone else was fighting Project Blockbuster. I thought it wasn't perfected yet. I said, "Okay, you can put me down now. I'm fine." He set me down and said, "You're awake!" I rolled my eyes and replied, "Yes, I am awake Captain Obvious." I looked at the fight and saw the pillars. Superboy and Blockbuster were still fighting. If we got Blockbuster in the right spot, and took down the pillars, he'd get buried. I said to Captain Obvious, "Tell your friends to take out the pillars." At first he looked confused and then he finally caught on to what I was trying to hint at. He shouted, "Robin, Kid Flash, we have to take out the pillars." Robin said, "Already working on it." I ran towards Blockbuster and Superboy, who were still fighting and then flipped over the both of them, in mid air, I used my whip to hit Blockbuster's eyes.

He screamed in pain and covered his eyes as I landed softly on the ground and continued to run in order to get enough distance between Blockbuster and I. Robin, who had been on the other side of the room before I hit Blockbuster had just blown up a pillar. Suddenly, the ground began shaking, Robin, who I think had seen the whole stunt I just pulled, got my hand and pulled me close to him. He said, "Hold on tight." The whole place collapsed. Shit, I don't want to die in this Ass wipe's hands. He grappled up and we landed outside the building. I immediately let go of Robin and stood a good meter away from him. Captain Obvious said in surprise, "We did it!" Robin said, "Was there ever a doubt?" Him and Mustard boy high fived each other. I said, "I'm never taking advantage of the outdoors again."

"See? the moon!" Mustard boy said, "Oh! and Superman. Do we keep our promises or what?" I looked up and did indeed see Superman flying down towards us. Soon, the rest of the Justice League appeared. Including Batman, oh shit. I'm in big trouble, aren't I? He looked at Superboy and asked "Is that what I think it is?" Mustard boy said, "He doesn't like being called an it." I facepalmed and said, "He meant the symbol on his chest, Kid." Batman turned to glare at me but kept quiet and didn't address me. Then, the glare was directed to the whole group in general, including me.

Superboy said, "I am Superboy, a clone of Superman." Batman scrutinized us and said, "Start talking." Everyone explained what happened and he asked how I was involved in all of this and I explained myself. Batman glared at me a bit more. I just looked right back, curiously, believe me, when you've seen and gone through what I have, a mere glare isn't enough to scare me. Superman who was very uncomfortable in this extremely awkward situation (I feel your pain, Man of Steel, I feel it.) said to Superboy, "We'll uh,..... we'll figure something out for you, the League will, I mean. But for now, we'll make sure the blockbuster creature is squared away." He flew away. Man, Superboy looked hurt but quickly covered it up. Batman said, "We'll investigate all 52 floors-" I interrupted him and said, "53 floors. They are fifty three." There's one that the elevator doesn't reach. He continued, "All fifty three floors. But let me make one thing clear-" The Flash interrupted him, "You should have called!" Batman glared at him before continuing.
