By the time all of us got out of our daze, Robin was almost done hacking the pod.
     "Blah, blah, blah. Oh! Here's something, Superboy Case: 1092476. Clone of Superman made from borrowed D.N.A." Robin said a hint of panic coming through his voice.
"You mean stolen D.N.A." Aqualad said iterated.
"We'll, let's open this thing up!" Wally said as he pressed the open button on the panel. Fog rolled out of the pod and Superboy stepped out.           
    "Hey, big guy! We're gonna take you- Oof!" Robin started off only to be silenced by a super strength punch to the face. He charged at Wally, and Wally tried to  super speed away only to have his leg grabbed and thrown into the giant computer.
"Wally are you okay?" I ran over to him and checked his pulse. He was just knocked out. I looked up just in time to see Aqualad thrown in my direction. I foward rolled out of the way an charged at Superboy. I threw a punch to distract him and he ducked out of way. While he was ducking I kicked his feet out from under him, and jumped up ready to punch him. When suddenly he shot up, grabbed my hand, and threw me into a wall.  I looked up to see Robin getting choke by Superboy.
"Robin!" I yelled. Even though it came out more like a croak. Then everything went black.
----------------------------------------------     I struggled to wake up, I had to force my eyelids open. I try to move my arm but bumped into something. It's hard and smooth, Wait! Glass?!?! I take a couple deep breaths to keep from freaking out. I look over and see Robin, Wally and Kaldur waking up.
"Are you guys alright?" I ask.
"Yes, Batgirl were are most-" Kaldur started only to get interrupted by Wally's outburst of,
"Hey! Dude! What's wrong with you? We try to help you, but you put us in pods instead." Instead of responding to Wally's anger, Superboy got even more tense ( If that's even possible. The dude is like a freakin' statue most the time. Anywho! Back to the story!)
     "Ah, guys? I don't think it's a good idea to anger the guy who could disintegrate us with one glare." Robin said to us with an 'Are- you- all- idiots' look."
      "Have you seen the world? Or the moon, sun and stars? We can show you all these things. We can, will help you." Kaldur said. What is his hidden agenda with this? Superboy looked apprehensive as he decided wether or not to answer Kaldur's question. After a good minute Superboy finally answered.
       "The Genomorphes fed me information and images." He said stoic as usual. Wait, just one cotton pickin' minute! If the Genomorphes 'fed' him information, what if they controlled him? Then it hit me.
        "Guys, what if he wasn't in control of his actions." I said to everyone. And I got some curious states from everyone, and a little glance from Superboy.
        "Explain." Robin said.
         "Well, if the Genomorphes 'fed' him information, could they have controlled him?" I said and this got understanding nods from everyone. I looked at Superboy and he looked a little pale. Only the very trained eye would notice. Not even Robin noticed.
      "What if I wasn't in control?" Superboy thought out loud. Then as soon as he said this a guy came in.
        "Superboy take care of our friends." He commanded. But Supervoy wasn't having it. He punched  the guy and kicked him in the face after he was down. 
         "Don't tell me what to do!" He spat out. He ran up to our pods and punched them until they broke.
          "Let's go!" I said. We ran through the Cadmus building attacking those who tried to get in our way. We let Superboy lead us because He has been here all his life. But he leads us straight to a dead end.
       "What the hell? Are you trying to get us killed?" Wally asked getting angry, like always.
         "Wally, shut up! This is good." I went over to the vent and opened using the screwdriver I had in my utility belt. Hey, don't judge you never when you might need something like that. And this is one of those times. We all climbed into the vent one by one, but I could here footsteps coming near us.
     "Damnit! The vent is motion activated. I can hack it, but if I don't do it in time stall them for me." Robin said. And when he was halfway through with the hack the Genomorphes were attacking. Everyone was almost to there limit when Robin called out,
      "Done! Superboy, BG when get out of the vent punch out any support beams."
       "Got it!" "Okay" Came Superboy and my response. When we got out of the vent Superboy and I punched out all support beams and causing the building to come crashing down. And on all of us. I got up out of the rubble and looked around to see if anyone else needed help. I saw everyone already out, and looking down. When I jogged over to them I saw the League. And angry was too nice a word for how they looked. 
      "Is that... We'll deal with you later." He said towards Superboy. "What you guys did was completely out of line." Batman said to all of us. "Hacking League systems," He glared at me and Robin. "And going on an unauthorized League mission. There will be serious reprimands for your actions."
      "You aren't ready." The Flash said.
       "You most certainly will never be doing this again." Aquaman said.
         "I'm sorry my king, but we will." Aqualad said stepping towards us. Aquaman started to say something but I cut him off.
          "You guys taught us everything we know. If we're never going to be ready what's the point of you mentoring us at all." I said looking around at all the League members.
            "Get with us or get out of the way." Superboy said with a shrug of his shoulders.
