Location: Washington D.C: Project Cadmus 12:01 AM
???:Time runs short. You must awaken. [None of the teens even flinch.] You must awaken NOW!
[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 before them.]
Kid Flash: (Annoyed) What? What do you want? Quit staring. You're creeping me out.
Robin: Uh, KF, how about we not tick off the guy who can fry us with a look? [Robin suggests to the seriously freaked out speedster.]
Eclipse: He can fry you three, I was beating his ass.
Kid Flash: (Cocky) Then why are you in a pod like the rest of us?
Eclipse: Genomorph... A big ass one at that.
Aqualad: (Calmly) We only sought to help you. Aqualad tries to tell the clone, calmly.
Kid Flash: Yeah. We free you, and you turn on us. [Kid Flash pipes up, clearly still annoyed at the minimum.] How's that for grat-
Aqualad: (Firmly) Kid, please, be quiet now. I believe our friend was not in full control of his actions.
[With the conversation gaining ground Robin activates a lockpick in the pointer finger of his glove and begins to work on his restraint. Y/n sits there not struggling at all seemingly as if he already has plan]
Superboy: Wha- what if I... [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.] What if I wasn't?
Kid Flash: He can talk? [Superboy's hand clenches into a fist again as he practically growls his words at Kid Flash.]
Superboy: Yes, he can.
The three look at Kid Flash who looks rather confused back at them.
Kid Flash: Not like I said, "it."
Eclipse: Kid F.
Kid Flash: Yeah?
Eclipse: Please shut up.
Kid Flash: Got it.
Aqualad: Genomorph taught you telepathically.
Superboy: They taught me much. I can read, write. I- I know the names of things.
Eclipse: But have you physically been able to experience the things you've learned about?
Robin: Have they actually let you see the sky? Or the Sun?
Superboy: Images are implanted in my mind, [he admits, then looks down as if ashamed] but no. I have not seen them.
Aqualad: Do you know what you are, who you are? [Superboy stands tall.]
Superboy: I am the Superboy, a Genomorph, a clone made from the DNA of the Superman, created to replace him should he perish... to destroy him should he turn from the Light. [The last bit gets worried looks from all three of them.]
