"Ugh! I hate this.." I complain, feeling claustrophobic as we crawl through the vents, the only way to get out of there.

"I don't know," KF says from behind me. "I'm kinda liking this."  Will he ever stop flirting?

I kick my leg out behind me, hitting him in the face, and KF yelped. "Was that necessary?" He asked me.
"It wouldn't have to be if you stopped staring at my ass."

"Ssh!" Superboy told us, at the front of the line,probably annoyed from the bickering. "Listen."
If I really strained my ears, I could hear a faint banging noise coming from far away from us. Damn it.
The Genomorphs were in the vents with us, and if we didn't hurry up, we'd be back in those pods.

"I hacked the motion sensors," Robin informed us as we jumped back out of the vents, into a different hallway.

"Sweet." KF spoke, mostly just happy to be out of the vents.

"But there's still plenty of them between us and out." Robin told us.

"But I've finally got room to move." Kid Flash replies, putting his goggles over his eyes.

He speeds off, up the stairs, and we almost had to sprint to keep within 50 meters of him. Well, I flew, but it seeemed hard for the others.

Kid Flash sped through groups of Genomorphs, knocking them out of our way, so that we didn't have to do extra work. Thank god.

We continue following Kid Flash, until we reach sub-level one.
Kid Flash kept running, until he was just about to reach the main door, but alarms started blaring, and the doors started closing.

He reached the door just as it closed, running straight into the cold, hard steel. Ouch.

I couldn't help it. I burst out laughing. "Oh my god," I giggled, gasping for breath. "I should've videoed that."

KF didn't say anything, just glared at me. "We're cut off from the street." Robin told us, even though we just saw Kid bashing into the closed doors.

"Thanks. My head hadn't noticed." Kid Flash said sarcastically, groaning in pain while rubbing the back of his head.

Robin starts typing at a really fast speed on his arm computer. "Can't hack this fast enough." Robin grumbled, obviously annoyed that his skills weren't good enough yet.

Two giant Genomorphs round the corner of the hallway, lumbering towards us.

"This way!" Robin shouts to us, as he kicks a nearby door open, running through, us following closely.

The Giant genomorphs couldn't follow us through the small door. I breathed a sigh of relief, as we all lean against the door, eyes closed. Finally, we might be able to get out of here.

I turn my head towards the end of the hallway. Guardian, that weird humanoid Genomorph that threw the barrels at us, and about 50 genomorphs, all ranging in size, stood at the other end.

We all immediately got into fighting stances, but the g-nomes on the genomorphs shoulders' horns started glowing red, and all of us, besides Superboy, blacked out.

————————————————————

I woke up after a few seconds, only slightly disoriented. All of the g-nomes horns had stopped glowing.

"Feels....like fog......lifting," Guardian says, seeming to be back to his normal persona. We all get up from the floor, still slightly dizzy.

"Guardian?" Aqualad asks confused, him being the most clear-headed one of us right now.
