Chapter Two


Robin was antsy as he hacked into the system of the building where the other clone was being kept. And all the while, he could feel Conner's heated gaze on his back. Never had they seen him this worked up or angry. He was positively livid and he was glad he didn't have heat vision like his 'father' or he would have been burnt to a crisp by now.

"Hurry up." Conner's voice was a low growl making the elder boy twitch and move faster. Every second they wasted was a second she could be in trouble, maybe even being experimented on..

He didn't like that thought...

He blinked as Aqualad placed a soothing hand on his shoulder, "Calm yourself, Superboy." As always, his voice was calm and serene, and that only served to irate him. With a shrug of his large shoulders, he moved away from the elder male and bit his lip. He ignored M'gann's worried glance as she floated above them, bending the light around them to make them invisible to the naked eye and the various cameras that were strewn about.

How he want to just barge in, grab her, and get the hell out of dodge, yet that plan had been shot down; they needed to know why she was made and all that other crap. He didn't care why she was created, just that she was made and needed to be with him.

He didn't know where the overly-possessive feeling came from, blaming it on Lex Luthor's DNA, and honestly, he really didn't care. He turned toward the door as it opened as Robin gave a cocky grin, "Ta-da–" He walked past him and entered the building, ignoring Robin's annoyed huff.

Robin sighed as they all followed him into the lab, flashbacks of the last one they entered floating in their minds, making them shiver. In no time, the team made quick work of the guards and were in the main computer room within seconds. He quickly stepped up to the main computer and began hacking into it, "You know, glaring at me won't make this go any faster. If you're that impatient, then go look for her." He didn't mean to snap, it was rare for him to do so, but Conner was breathing down his neck.

Conner glared, also on edge and stalked out of the room with M'gann following him. Kid Flash went on ahead, no doubt checking each room of the building and was back at his side in a few minutes with an excited grin on his face, "I found her! And she's naked!" He grinned, ignoring the dark glare shot his way and merely pointed down a long hallway, "That way, all the way at the end. She's inside a tube thingie like you were when we fou– okay, just ignore me then…" He trailed off as Conner began a light jog toward the room.

M'gann offered him a small smile, "He's just worried, is all."

Kid Flash nodded, "Yeah, I know, but he's still a jerk." He laughed as M'ggan floated after her crush. She paused as she came to the doorway and felt like an outsider. Conner had broken open the glass tube and was cradling a still wet young woman on the ground; his hands wiping her dark raven locks away from her face as she laid there, still unconscious.

She looked around and grabbed a nearby lab coat and offered it to him, "Conner, here. Use this." He gave her a small glance and took the coat, draping it over the unconscious woman in his arms. Then went back to take in her features and noticing that they were the same ones from his dream. He stood up cradling her body to his and glanced back at the tube she was kept in. There was a name plate over the tube. He read it aloud. "Kagome." He liked the way it rolled off his tongue.

M'gann smiled at the still unconscious younger woman, reading her mind and finding out she had been drugged before being placed in the 'healing tank' and would be out for a few more hours.

"Welcome to the team, Kagome."
