Hey guys! Sorry for the delay and this time in this version of Schooled Superman is more of a dick than in the other. And I am also introducing the other heroes like Supergirl, Powergirl etc. I am showing Lois early on and having Superboy go through a different experience, somewhat worse than the shows. For people who cry easy I'd watch out because the Young Justice team will be talking about they're experience in Cadmus because they have been having nightmares. Now this isn't Justice League Unlimited it just has more heroes. And I just realized I made Superboy like Superman X from Legion of Superheroes. And the others have been getting along with their families. Also someone answer me this, "Are Gotham and Metropolis connected by a bridge?
It was a nice day in Metropolis, on August 3rd as we see cars going into the city on the bridge in Metropolis city school bus go on it as the children chat with one another as the driver looked back at them and smiled.
Suddenly a crack was heard the bridge began to give way as the cables on the bridge began snapping
The cables came down on the bridge as the bus driver shouted as he turned hitting the brakes as the bus struck the side of the wall of the bridge.
Then a Lexcorp truck struck the back as it turned making it break the wall as another car went through.
Then a red car came and slammed into the end of the bus making it almost go over the edge as it was at a angle hanging.
Bruce Wayne watching from the Wayne Tech building was standing in his office, turned to his desk and lifted the head of a small Shakespeare statue paper weight showing a red button he pressed and a drawer opened showing the batsuit.
He then heard a sonic boom when he reached for it as Superman flew across the river (is it really a river or a harbor?)
He flew underneath the bridge and used his strength to hold it up and began using his heat vision to fix the cracks and supports
Bruce put some binoculars up as he watched.
He heard another boom as he saw Superboy... trying to fly again
Superboy muttered as he was flying wobbly and landed on one of the tops of the bridge.
He then went and landed on the bridge.
Superman grunted as he felt that underneath the bridge.
Superboy ran and pulled a car back on the bridge before running towards the bus which began going over.
The kids all look at him and are happy as he grabbed the end.
"Everything is going to be okay! Everyone to the back!" Said Superboy as the children did what they were told and went to the back along with the driver and Superboy grunted as he began lifting it and shouted as it got lifted off him as he went backwards and fell.
Superman had the bus and put it down,
The children gave their thanks and so did the bus driver to Superman.
Superboy growls as he got up.
"I had that!" Said Superboy walking up to Superman right beside the bus.
"I didn't want to take the chance, as it is your landing could've destabilized the entire bridge." Said Superman.
"It didn't, I'm not stupid." Said Superboy pointing to his mask.
"But it could have, we still don't know what the limits are to your powers." Said Superman.
"Well maybe you could, you know, help me figure that out." Said Superboy looking at him.
Superman looked away for a moment.
"Batman has that covered." He said looking back.
"Yeah I know but can you get Supergirl or Powergirl or someone to help me? I need help figuring out how to -" said Superboy before Superman put his hand up and pressed the communication disk in his ear a shield it beeped.
"Superman - wow slow down Arrow - what's attacking? No I'm definitely available." Said Superman.
Superboy growls at this,
"Sorry Superboy -"
"Yeah right! You're not sorry! You'd have to actually care about me to feel sorry!" Said Superboy blasting off.
Superman sighs as he looks.
"Sounds like there's issues between you and your son." Said the bus driver.
Superman looked down
"He's not my son." Said Superman taking to the sky.
Superboy heard this with his super hearing and tears shed.
Superman who was flying in the opposite direction answered his communicator again.
"Already got the alert Bruce." Superman said.
"I know Clark, but we need to talk." Said Bruce as he was talking through his phone after putting down the binoculars he used to see everything
Hours later at Mount Justice we find Aqualad and Kid Flash who is eating a banana playing a holographic game of air hockey.
Kid Flash gets the last point as he takes a bite of his banana.
Ultimus walked into the main room
"Where's Superboy? He should've gotten here by now." Said Ultimus.
They all heard shouting as Superboy fell through the ceiling.
"Nevermind." Said Ultimus running to him.
"Hey guys." Said Superboy.
"Hey." Said Ultimus getting to him chuckling a little.
"That hurt." Said Superboy as he was helped up.
Kid Flash looked up at the hole with Robin and the two whistle as they see outside
Before their eyes the hole closed up as Ultimus snapped his fingers.
"What happened?" Said Kid Flash.
"I kept going up until my flight decided to quit on me, go ahead and laugh!" Said Superboy.
Kid Flash held his hands up and leaned back.
"Wow man chill." Said KF
"How was Metropolis?" Said Miss M.
"Don't wanna talk about it." Said Superboy going past them.
"Superboy -"
"Back off Kaldur, he said he didn't want to talk about so don't." Said Ultimus following him.
"Geez, now all of them are in moods." Said Robin.
"If you ask me it's lack of sleep." Said Kid Flash
"All of them?" Said Aqualad.
"Yeah for the past week I've seen it and told Canary but they just won't say anything. I'm getting worried that whatever Nightmares they're having will turn to something dangerous." Said Robin.
"Look at you Mr. Compassionate. But I agree Savitar has been cool, Uncle Barry is still getting used to him but Aunt Iris loves him." Said Wally.
"Yeah and I'm starting to warm up to Beyond, he's cool and I love seeing him take Batman to the floor, ha! He's also a whiz in checkers, chess and other board games, I've watched him beat Batman multiple times." Said Robin.
"I love Shifter he's like the little brother I've always wanted, but I got some back home and sisters too. He just feels like a brother instead of a cousin." Said Miss Martian.
"I too have connected with Tidalwave, the king and Queen have accepted him and have already made him the official prince of Atlantis. He has been a great prince to the people, I've never seen the Queen so happy." Said Aqualad as he was there when Tidalwave went to meet the Queen Mira and there for his coronation ceremony, with the others.
"I just wished they'd be honest and tell us what the problem is." Said Robin.
"Yeah, I've seen the smile on Wonder Woman's face when she comes to check on Wonderman. I've seen some sparks flying between her and Batman, she's been teaching Wonderman and Beyond some combat skills." Said Robin.
"Hmm perhaps the two will come together." Said Aqualad,
Robin laughed,
"One could hope lord knows he needs a girlfriend." Said Robin getting the others to laugh.
"I too have seen changes in Uncle J'ohn he looks forward to every visit to the cave to see Shifter." Said M'gann.
"Same with the king," said Aqualad.
"Warhawk and Sapphire never shut up about the times the spend with their families. Star Sapphire may not be a leaguer but she look s forward to every visit she and the Green Lantern Hal Jordan make together. I've seen Warhawk training with the hawks and he enjoys every second of it." Said Kid Flash.
"And we all know how Red Tornado is." Said Robin.
"Same with Black Arrow and her times with Canary and Arrow." Said Megan.
"But then there's Superboy." Said Aqualad.
Honestly do not understand why Superman is so... what's the word I am looking for? Discouraged?" Said Kaldur.
"That's one way of looking at it, look guys, uh the thing that happened in Metropolis was on the news. I think Superboy may not be wanting to have Superman acknowledge him, anymore. The Daily Planets website is blowing up, Superman unknowingly just showed the world how he thought of Superboy, he said and I quote, "He's not my son." Said Robin.
"No wonder Ultimus wished for me to let him be." Said Aqualad,
"Which I needed," said Superboy, walking in.
"We just heard, are you okay?" Said Miss Martian.
"That's one word. Supergirl accepted me, Powergirl did too! They even introduced me to Superman's parents, and they accepted me. I feel like giving up." Said Superboy as he deactivated his mask as it glowed in blocks and disappeared from his face. (How Captain Marvel makes her mask go away from Avengers Assemble.)
"Hey come on, if the others can do it so can you." Said KF.
"Thanks." Said Superboy with a smile.
The other young justice members walked in.
"Hey bro." Said Black Arrow
"Yeam I'm alright guys." Said Superboy.
"Ready for training everyone?" Said Black Canary walking in,
"Mom!" Said Black Arrow,
"Black Canary, Uncle J'ohn!" Said Miss Martian,
"Dad!" Said Shifter as the 3 went to the two,
Superboy looked down.
"Man, that was like the worse timing," said Sapphire,
"Yeah". Said Elemental
"Arrow, how have you been doing? Still having those nightmares? Ready to talk about them?" Said Canary.
"Sorry mom, not really." Said Black as she looked down before she looked back at her mother.
"It is great to see you again, Shifter, you too M'gann." Said Manhunter as got out of the hug from the two.
"Yeah, you too are you doing here?" Said Shifter.
"I was in the neighborhood, so to speak. I wanted to see how you two were adjusting and doing." Said Martian Manhunter.
"Few bumps but we're doing alright." Said M'gann.
Superboy made a fist as he went to leave.
"Stick around!" Said Canary.
Superboy stopped and looked at her.
"Class is in session." Said Black Canary walking to the center of the room and activated the rooms training mode.
"I consider it an honor to be your mentor. I will throw a lot at you, everything I've learned from my own mentors, ahh, and my own bruises." Said Black Canary taking her jacket off showing her left arm had wrappings slightly above where her muscles were.
"What happened?" Said Miss M.
"The job. Now combat is about controlling conflict, putting the battle on your terms. You should be acting never reacting. I'll need a sparring partner." Said Canary
"Right here!" Said Wally putting his hand up finishing his banana walking up,
"After this, swish, I can show you some of my moves." Said Wally as Savitar smacked his head.
"Dude she's like 10 or 11 years older than you I don't know and out of your league... I am shutting up now before I say something awkward." Said Savitar.
"And she's my mom!" Said Black Arrow.
All the while Canary was smirking before she and Wally took a stance
Canary threw the first punch that Wally blocked but she swept his feet from under him.
Words came from beside him saying Kid Flash failed.
"Ohhh, hurts so good." Said Kid.
"Are you that desperate to get a girl?" Said Elemental as the others nodded in agreement.
"Nice block, but did you see what he did wrong?" Said Canary helping him up.
"He hit on teacher and got served?" Said Beyond, Robin and Savitar at the same time as they looked at each other and laughed along with the others.
"Dudes!"
"He allow me to dictate the terms -
"Oh please, of course you could kick his weak ass." Said Superboy
The team and Young Justice leaned to the side to look at Superboy with raised eyebrows,
"You have way more combat experience than him. But me and my brothers we are living weapons, born to take down our opponents, with our powers and skills the battle is always on our terms. And this is a fucking waste of our damn time, so why not just say this shit is over with so we can go about our damn day?" Said Superboy.
"Hmm, prove it." Said Canary.
The YJ looked at each other as Superboy walked onto the training platform and starred at her.
"Hope you know what you're asking for." He said
The two take stances as Superboy throw the first punch which she blocks and tries swiping his feet from underneath him but he jumped back and threw a kick which she caught and threw him and he landed on his back,
The words Superboy failed came up from the floor.
Robin laughed at him but Aqualad hit him making him cover his mouth silencing his laughter.
Superboy got back up with a growl.
"Good you're angry, but don't react. Channel that anger-"
"Oh you haven't even seen me angry yet!" Said Superboy as he tried again and met the same thing.
Everyone winced but Robin kept laughing at him.
But Superboy kept in going no matter how many times he got down
Eventually we find Superboy sliding backwards as it said he failed again, but he now activated his helmet
Robin and the others leaned over him.
"Dude, give it up already, you can't beat her. You're not good enough." Said Robin.
Those words echoed in his mind and if his helmet was deactivated you would see his pupils dilate as memories flashed in his mind.
Flashback!
We see everything from his point of view as he's laying on the ground looking at a silhouette before it showed another Superboy
"Give up you pathetic reject, I'm going to be the one who joins the Young Justice team, I'm the better clone. I'm better than you and you're not good enough!" It said grinning at him.
Superboy shouts
Flashback end!
He shouts as he got up and starred at Black Canary.
"Well you got spirit, I like that." Said Canary
Superboy charged at her before leaping and twisiting in the air as she tried knocking him down again.
Superboy landed before spinning around and kicking her right where her arm was bandaged.
Canary shouted as she held the arm.
Leaving herself open for Superboy to a fist swipe to the face. Then Superboy grabbed her face and brought it to his knee.
Aqualad, Robin and Kid Flash couldn't believe it while Miss Martian covered her mouth.
Martian Manhunter was just as surprised.
Ultimus kept a stoic face as he watched.
Black Arrow looked at him and back at the fight.
Superboy then brought his right foot to her chin making her take steps backwards, as he spun around and gave her a chop to the side of her head and gave her two swiping punches before spinning around and kicked her sending her flying back and onto the ground.
The words, Black Canary failed appeared this time.
"Wow." Said Robin.
"Tad bit too much but he proved his point." Said KF.
Superboy shouted as he charged at her.
When suddenly a red beam came right in front of him stopping him.
"That's enough! You won brother. Calm down." Said Ultimus as his hand was smoking with a red smoke.
Superboy breathed as he stood still then he looked at Canary, who was groaning,
"Oh my god, what have I done?" Said Superboy running to her
"Not bad, kid. You channeled your anger and proved both our points. That you are skilled and that you won by dictating the terms of the fight. You attacked where I was hurt, that lead you to laying down the rest. Keep those observation skills of yours clean." Said Canary.
"You're- you're not mad, you're not hurt?" Said Superboy.
"Geez, I thought he cracked her skull." Said Warhawk,
"No, not really, on a scale of 1 to 10 I'd give it probably a 3. I've faced worse." Said Canary.
"Apparently, but I am so sorry." Said Superboy,
"You know Robin told me that you and your siblings have been having trouble sleeping. Do you want to talk about it?" Said Canary.
Before Superboy could say anything Batman's head appeared on a holoscreen scaring the crap out of Superboy as he shouted and clutched his heart.
"God!" Superboy said
"Uh, Superboy are you okay?" Said Batman.
"Oh I'm fine considering you scared the crap out of me!" Said Superboy walking to the others
"What's wrong, father?" Said Beyond
"Somebody out there need a punch to the face?" Said Wonderman.
"Oh brother." Said Elemental.
"Boys and violence." Said Sapphire rolling her eyes.
"Don't knock it till you give it a good try." Said Tidalwave
"5 hours ago, a new menace attacked Green Arrow and Black Canary. The attacker was capable of studying then duplicating the powers and abilities of it's opponents. Arrow called in reinforcements which nearly proved disastrous as our foe gained more and more power with each new combatant." Said Batman as a video was shown showing a orange haired, green pants wearing, pointy eared red eyed android that grabbed Superman by his cape swinging him around, much to Superboy's amusement as he smiled. The android kept swinging him around batting away Red Tornado and Flash before throwing him away and blasted two of Batman's batarangs with heat vision.
"Whoa, one guy with the powers of the entire league?" Said Kid Flash.
"Sounds like me, maybe that bucket of bolts can actually make me sweat." Said Ultimus.
"I'll never understand why you enjoy battling so much." Said Beyond.
"In the end, it took 8 leaguers 4 hours to defeat and dismantle the android." Said Batman.
"An android? Who made it T.O Morrow?" Said Robin.
"Hmm doesn't match his red style." Said Beyond.
"Correct Beyond, but good guess Robin." Said Batman as Superboy looked down again.
"The technology bears the signature of Professor Ivo." Said Manhunter.
"Ivo? But Ivo's dead." Said Aqualad.
"So we all thought or hoped." Said Canary
"To make sure this threat is permanently neutralized, we're sending two trucks carrying the androids parts to two separate S.T.A.R Labs locations in Boston and New York for immediate evaluation. Every precaution is being taken, we'll have 4 additional decoy trucks to creat confusion in case Ivo or anyone tries to recover the remains. You will split into two teams to safeguard the two real trucks." Said Batman.
"Yes! Road trip!" Said KF.
"So now you're having us take out your trash? Is the task too much for the great league?" Said Superboy.
"You had something better to do?" Said Batman as Superboy looked away.
A pad Aqualad was holding beeped.
"Coordinates, received. On our way" he said.
The others went to the hanger but Superboy walked until Canary grabbed his arm stopping him.
"When you're ready to talk, I'm here." She said.
Superboy looked down and then at her and smiled before catching up with the others.
"How's he doing?" Said Batman.
"Haaa, I don't know. He is angry more than usual and how would you be when your father rejects you and sees you as the r*** child? I wish he'd open up like the others." Said Canary,
"Let's hope they do before it's too late." Said Batman cutting the feed.
Later in Litchfield county, we find the 6 trucks with some of the leaguers there.
Superboy who was in the bushes with everyone as they had motorcycles built for them.
He did a double take as he saw Supergirl and Powergirl there.
They saw him and waved as he waved back with a smile.
Soldiers were there guarding the crates as they were being loaded into the two trucks.
Captain Atom, Red Tornado, Green Arrow, Batman, Flash and Superman were also there.
Superman looked at Superboy using his x-ray vision to look through the bushes.
Superboy saw him and glared at him.
Superman then turned away.
Superboy closed the Visor to his mask.
"Why are Supergirl and Powergirl here?" Said KF.
"Don't know I hope to punch Superman." Said Superboy.
The team looked at him before closing their helmets.
The trucks engines all start.
"S.T.A.R Boston is a go/S.T.A.R Manhattan is a go." Said the drivers.
Green Arrow gave Batman the Okay as the Dark Knight gave them the signal to go as he pointed his arm out.
"Remember it's Aqualad, KF, Miss M, Shifter, Savitar, Tidalwave, Sapphire and Arrow as one team. The rest of you with me." Said Ultimus as they all nodded.
The trucks got onto the highway and the two teams followed their trucks as they went in separate directions.
Everyone began taking off until Batman stopped Superman by putting a hand on his shoulder.
"I told you, we need to talk." Said Batman as behind him was Supergirl and Powergirl with their arms crossed.
Eventually Ultimus' team was left with their truck on the road as they were going by a large corn field.
Morph, who became Ultimus' helmet opened his eyes seeing the corn, giggled as he took off and ate some before going back to him. (FYI Morph sounds like the one from treasure planet mixed with Bebenom from Sun and Moon)
Robin slowed down as Superboy was behind them all.
"Hey, if dislike is the opposite of like, is disaster the opposite of aster? See instead of things going wrong they go right?" Said Robin breaking the ice.
"Don't know don't care."
"Clearly you're not feeling the aster what's wrong?" Said Robin.
"Obviously Superman, but honestly I have a small problem with Canary. I mean why teach combat skills to a guy with super strength?"
"Taking down stronger guys is part of the gig. Canary found that out the hard way, same with Batman and well... me." Said Robin as Superboy then sped up to get with Ultimus.
Meanwhile with others
"Do you think Superboy is okay? I wasn't reading his mind I swear, but anger and sorrow flowed off him in waves." Said Miss Martian.
"Considering what happened in Metropolis, cousin I'm not surprised." Said Shifter.
"Surfed that wave, just give him space. Me? Keep as close as you - ow!" Said Kid Flash as he looked behind him as Savitar throw a corn cob at him.
"Superboy just needs time to cool off. Maybe a quiet mission will clear his head a little." Said Aqualad.
"Since when have any of our missions been quiet?" Said Black Arrow.
"Yeah!" Said Tidalwave
As they passed a part of the corn fields some of them shook before laughter was heard from them before black and green mechanical monkeys came flying out towards the truck and latched onto it.
"Ultimus our truck is under attack!" Said Aqualad through the communications.
"Thought so, ours too!" Said Ultimus as he Armored up
The process transformed his motorcycle to resemble the ghost riders except without the flames.
Superboy growled as the truck was being attacked
The driver of the truck Ultimus' squad was guarding screamed as he could barely see the road and the robot monkeys were banging on the glass.
"Robot monkeys, ha ha, definitely Ivo's tweak style." Said Robin activating his cycle's battle mode when he pressed a circle on the bike and it showed his logo
The motorcycles front wheel went back into the cycle as a drone shot out from behind it made from the back wheel.
"Hey switch yours to battle mode." Said Robin.
"Don't need it." Superboy said jumping off his bike.
"Yeah!" Said Ultimus doing the same.
"Or not!" Said Robin as he and Beyond leapt off same as Wonderman, Warhawk, and Elemental. As their bikes except Ultimus' got took down by Superboy's
Robin grappled onto the truck punching some of the monkeys.
The others were flying as Beyond looked back and saw them.
"I hate cheap shit." He said.
Superboy was on the top of the truck punching them as he grabbed one and squeezed it and blasted some.
Robin's drone tried helping but it got taken down.
Red Elemental was blasting them with lightning before he felt something on his feet as he saw some of the monkeys chewing on his thrusters.
"Hey hands off!" Said Elemental trying to get them off but they broke them as did Beyond's
"Shit!" Said Beyond as the two landed in the corn fields.
The two shook their heads as they found all the corn they landed on broke their fall.
Elemenal looked at Beyond like "WTF" just happened?" As Beyond just shrugs
Superboy kept smashing them until the one he kept in his hand blasted him right in the eyes making him scream before he was grabbed and dropped onto the highway road.
Morph watched in a growled before squealing in pain as he was blasted into the corn.
"MORPH!" Shouted Ultimus as he blasted 45 of them with a red optic beam that seemed to bend and strike all of them before jumping off the truck.
"Don't worry, daddy's coming!" Said Ultimus running to his created pet.
"How are these things so good?" Said Robin kicking one.
"Yeah!" Said Wonderman slashing some with his sword as Warhawk was above them flapping his wings and his armored feathers were being shot like razor sharp throwing daggers
Superboy got up with a growl as he used his hearing to listen for the monkeys annoying laughter and began running after it.
Meanwhile back with the others
Aqualad in his cycle used one of his bearers as a whip to slash a group of the monkeys.
Miss M and Shifter blasted some with their powers before jumping off their bikes just like Kid Flash and Savitar did.
The fastest boy alive extended his arm blades and slashes some off the truck.
Black Arrow was using both her arrows and her sonic scream to keep them off the truck and herself.
Emerald jumped off hers and used her beams to slice some.
"They just keep coming!" Said Sapphire,
"Then we keep breaking them!" Said Black Arrow.
Tidalwave used his lightning powers to zap some.
Some of the monkeys who were at the top blasting their way inside gripped one end of the hole they made and opened it as the soldiers inside began shooting as they jumped inside.
Aqualad used his bearers to blast the others on the back off.
Groups of the monkeys flew onto Miss Martian and Shifter who were flying in front of the truck grew arms on various parts of their bodies pushing the monkeys off.
Then they swiped the ones on the wind shield.
The driver screamed seeing them with their arms all over.
Black Arrow who was being carried by Sapphire dropped on the roof as Savitar, Tidalwave and Kid Flash got up top as the two Martians landed on the top.
They shouted in fright because of all the arms making them yelp and the arms retracted.
Tons came out of the whole onto them.
This left the ones inside time to blast out the back and fly off with the crate of the androids parts.
"Grr, ENOUGH!" Said Tidalwave slamming his trident down that sent a wave of electricity shutting down the monkeys on them.
Aqualad stopped on his motorcycle and watched the parts get carried away.
The others jumped off and the young justice members growled as they failed protecting their crate.
Back with Wonderman, Warhawk, Superboy and Robin.
Robin got on the roof with Wonderman and Warhawk as they brought out their weapons smacking them as the robotic animals charged
A bunch came from the back as Superboy landed on the top and growled grabbing the ones getting on him.
Two monkeys went to the wheels and blasted them making them pop.
Robin leaned over the windshield.
"Get out!"
The driver opened the door and Robin, Warhawk and Wonderman leapt off the truck as Superboy was still on it as it fell and rolled on the road landing on him.
The monkeys blew a hole in the truck taking the crate.
Superboy roared as he blasted the truck off of him and was regaining his sight as he watched them fly away.
Superboy's eyes glowed red as he gave chase trying to fly but every time he landed he just get back up.
"Superboy!" Said Robin.
The Kryptonian kid's leaps left holes in the corn fields.
"Aqualad to Robin, we've lost our cargo did you-"
"It's gone and so is one of my partners." Said Robin.
"Aqualad to Superboy radio your position we can help you." Said Aqualad.
"Yes brother let us -"
"YOU ARE NOT MY BROTHER! I DON'T WANT ANY HELP! DON'T NEED ANY!" Said Superboy as he finally reached his breaking point and destroyed the communication device.
The Young Justice team except Ultimus gasped at this. The armored warrior just sighed.
"I - I Uh, think he ditched his comm." said Robin.
"Super. Now we can't even track him." Said Kid Flash.
"I can. With my tracking capabilities I can find any of my brothers and sisters anywhere. Me and Morph will catch up with him. Ultimus, signing off." Said Ultimus not even angry with Superboy
"Okay, Aqualad out." Said Aqualad
Miss Martian and Shifter made their eyes stop glowing.
"They're out of our telepathic range. This Professor Ivo, if he is alive, seems to be two steps ahead of us. Maybe we should contact Red Tornado?" Said Miss M.
"Tornado always tells us to handle things ourselve and the mission can still succeed if we can recover the parts before they're reassembled." Said Aqualad,
"Then it's time you know Ultimus' plan." Said Beyond through the comms.
"Plan? He made a plan? Why didn't he tell us?" Said Kid Flash.
"He wasn't 100% sure if it was true so he didn't want all of us going into battle with incorrect information." Said Elemental.
"Big brother told us that he believed that Ivo wouldn't just let his android play without keeping tabs on it. So he told us to hold back against what he would send after the parts. This way we could find Ivo and try to get him as well as destroying the android." Said Black Arrow.
"Understandable, please continue." Said Aqualad.
"Look we can say Ultimus was right because we haven't heard that the other trucks were attacked so considering we were the only ones then that means Ivo was indeed tracking the android. But how?" Said Emerald Sapphire.
Everyone put on thinking face before Shifter broke it with a snap of his fingers.
"GPS!" Said the young justice team.
Beyond looked around and saw one of the destroyed monkeys.
"Hacking." Said Beyond and Robin who both nodded as they attached cables to the robot.
"Ultimus was right, the parts were being tracked by GPS. And now we can track them by jacking the signal using this busted monkey. They're converging at... Gotham City?" Said Robin.
"That far south?! M'gann and the rest of us won't be able to get there anytime soon. I'm sending Kid and Savitar on ahead." Said Aqualad.
"Roger that!" Said Robin cutting the feed.
Warhawk and the others landed around the two members of the Bat family,
"Today's been a disaster." Said Elemental.
"Totally." Said Warhawk as Wonderman nodded.
"Heavy on the dis." Said Robin reactivating his bike that came to him.
"Let's stop moping and move." Said Wonderman as they began to go to Gotham.
Meanwhile in Metropolis in Bibbo's Dinner we find Bruce Wayne, Kara Danvers, Karen Starr and Clark Kent were in a booth going over the menu.
"Apple pie." Said Clark.
"Blueberry pie, please." Said Kara.
"Strawberry." Said Karen.
"The devil's food." Said Bruce as they handed the owner Bibbo their menus
"Something tells me this isn't about dessert." Said Clark
"The boy needs you Clark." Said Bruce talking about Superboy.
"No! He needs you, he needs Red. I'm just a constant reminder of what he's not." Said Clark.
"I'm sorry Kal but you're dead wrong, in more ways than you know." Said Kara.
"You met him?" Said Clark.
"Yeah and he's amazing to be around with, something that you don't even know, considering you haven't even given him a chance like Bruce and the others did." Said Karen.
"Look we introduced him to Ma and Pa, Lois even. They all love him Kal, Lois has even been like a mother to him. Don't worry we didn't tell Lois everything but we've all been talking and thinking of names for him. We were wondering if you wanted to join in." Said Kara.
Clark looked away from them with a hard look.
"Look Clark, we know he troubles you. But he is here, you need to get over the how and why. Trust me on this, this boy needs his father." Said Bruce,
Clark got right out of the booth and grabbed his hat.
"I am not his father! I'll take that pie to go!" Said Clark as he looked at Bibbo at the back cooking who raised his spatula and nodded.
The trio in the booth sighed as they looked at their table while the others in the dinner looked at Clark as they heard him shout before going back to their meals.
They heard the sound of heels stepping as Lois walked to them after Clark got his pie and left.
"That didn't go so good." She said.
"You have to tell him that you know. Sooner or later you have to we can't keep lying to him same as you. But yes, it went horrible." Said Karen.
"Why does he resent him so much? He's treating him like the rape child for gods sake. I mean to me he's like the son I've always wanted." Said Lois.
"If only he was like you Lois." Said Bruce as Kara slurped her milkshake.
Meanwhile in Gotham, a train was going as the monkeys entered the train car.
Superboy followed and thankfully kept enough control of his flight and landed on the car.
"About time you showed up slowpoke."
Ultimus was standing on the other end of the train car with Morph being Morph as he flew around Superboy before going back to his creator/father.
"Ultimus, how?"
"I can find you and the others anywhere on the planet, brother." Said Ultimus walking to him.
"Ultimus I..."
Ultimus put a hand on his shoulder.
"We can talk later, how's about we get on with this?" Said Ultimus.
Superboy smiled before he tore the roof open.
"After you."
Ultimus leapt in with Morph before Superboy followed
There inside they found Ivo who's definitely not impressive as Ultimus chuckled as Ivo was dressed like a nerd.
Ivo had orange hair with with a brown streak on his side. A green vest with a pocket holding pens and a white under shirt. A red tie and green pants.
"Oh hello." Ivo said.
"You? You're Ivo? I'm whelmed." Said Superboy.
"I'm not, I'm disappointed. He's just a nerd." Said Ultimus
"Hmm, I too am whelmed. Now since when does the big blue boy scout have a brat?" Said Ivo as behind him was his mechanical monkeys.
"Haven't you seen the news? He's made it pretty clear he doesn't." Superboy growled.
"I tend not to keep up with stuff like that. But have you met my Mobile Optimal Nueral Quotient Infiltrators?" Said Ivo as the Monqi's leapt at them.
"Yeah not a fan and not in the mood." Said Ultimus as his eyes flashed before the robots began rusting and falling apart.
"Impressive, and after all that time finding an acronym for monkey." Said Ivo as two of the monkeys were behind him
"Access: Captain Atom."
The trio looked up and were blasted by a yellow beam that sent them to the back of the train car.
Ivo stepped forward.
"If Professor Ivo's magnificent Monqi's don't float your boat. Then maybe my amazing Amazo would better suit you, or better yet slay you." Said Ivo as the android Amazo walked forward from the shadows as it's red eyes shined in the darkness
"Come on tin man, give me your best shot." Said Superboy
"Please, my android has the strength of Superman. What chance do you have?" Said Ivo.
Superboy growls at this,
He charges landed a barrage of blows making the android take steps backwards surprising Ivo.
Superboy then landed a spin kick to it's face making it coil back.
He then tries stabbing it with his energy blades but Amazo grabbed the arm and turned back around with it's jaw hanging off before it brought it's other hand and fixed it's jaw by putting it back on.
"Oh I'm sorry did that strike a nerve? Amazo, strike a few more!" Ordered Ivo
"Access: Superman."
Amazo pulled on Superboy's arm a slammed it's arm into his gut making him gag before kicking him while he was hunched over in the chin sending him onto the roof and then landed on the floor groaning,
"Oh you did not just do that in front of me." Said Ultimus charging.
"Access: Black Canary."
Amazo's mouth dropped as he unleashed Black Canary's Canary cry on them sending the three all the way back to the end of the train car.
"Access Flash."
Amazo sped over and pummeled the two while he couldn't hurt Morph as the blob dodged the hits.
Ultimus and Superboy were down on the wall.
"Oh no wonder daddy keeps you hidden away, you're not really doing justice to the old S shield, are you? Ha!" Said Ivo
Superboy and Ultimus both charged.
"Martian Manhunter."
The android turned intangible as their punches went through Amazo before it punched them through the train car onto the carrier car behind them.
"Access Superman."
Amazo marched through the hole and grabbed the two by their throats and spun once before launching them through the air.
Ultimus was sent flying into a field and Superboy was sent into the a classroom and through desks as he laid in the Gotham Academy groaning.
Amazo watched smoke coming from the town and looked back at it's creator.
"Finish them, priority alpha." Ordered Ivo
Amazo looked back before launching into the city
Robin now in his suit on his cycle rolled into Gotham.
Beyond, Wonderman, Warhawk and Elemental were flying over him.
Kid Flash was running catching up in his suit.
"You changed too?" Said Robin,
"Yeah, you kidding? Brr, I feel naked in civies." Said Kid Flash as he shivered, as Savitar came in with a flash of lightning.
"About time you showed up, I was wondering if I was going to reach the trillions running around this town." Said Savitar.
"Show off." Said Kid Flash.
"Slow poke speedster." Countered Savitar.
"Grr, anyways you still tracking those parts?" Said Kid Flash.
"They were going through Gotham but they veered, now they're heading... dude they're at my school!" Said Robin
Meanwhile back with Ultimus, we find the armor wearing hero in a crater as Morph floats down.
Bee, bee, baba? Morph squeaked as he looks.
Ultimus' hand comes out of the ground followed by the rest of his body.
"Okay, now I'm mad." Ultimus growled
In Gotham City Academy we see Superboy flying into a trophy case where one showed a picture of Dick holding a big trophy.
It shattered on contact as he laid down as Amazo approached and grabbed him and spun it's upper body around before throwing him into some lockers destroying some,
One of the broken lockers opened showing a picture of Superman with stars and hearts around.
Superboy glared at it before smashing the picture and locker.
Superboy ran in with his wrist blades.
"Martian Manhunter."
Superboy spun as the punch went through and as he came around he was met with a fist sending him flying through walls and into possibly the science room.
Amazo followed.
Superboy grunted as he got back up.
"Is that it? Is that all you got?" Said Superboy looking at Amazo.
"Access Captain Atom."
Superboy was blasted through the school into the gym.
Superboy shook his head as heard clapping.
He looked up and saw Ivo with two of his monkeys on the bleachers.
"I usually don't attend these things in person, but this was too good to miss." Said Ivo,
"Okay, that's it, I've had enough of this shit." Said Superboy.
"Access Superman."
Amazo stepped into the gymnasium
Superboy popped his knuckles as he started but the android down.
The two charged at each other but this time Amazo threw the first punch which Superboy grabbed the fist and pulled Amazo in before slamming his fist into the androids face.
Amazo was sent flying into the wall.
Amazo fired heat vision beams as did Superboy.
The two beams clashed going back and forth.
As Amazo began pushing Superboy's beam backwards, Superboy shouts as he pushes the beam back blasting Amazo backwards
Superboy raised his arms and blasted Amazo with a green beam.
"Error! Error!"
Superboy stopped and growled looking at his hands,
"I didn't want a green kryptonite beam, I wanted a energy beam!" Said Superboy.
This left him opened for another punch by Amazo sending him to the ground and charging at him with both arms raised
A trail of lightning flew in.
"Nope!"
Savitar put Superboy down beside the bleachers.
"Hey metal head! You mess with one member of Young Justice you mess with us all!" Said Warhawk.
"You guys..." said Superboy.
Beyond nodded to him, Warhawk gave him a thumbs up, Wonderman did the same, Elemental chuckled and gave him the peace sign.
A wall was blown apart as Ultimus walked inside with his eyes glowing red through the smoke as Morph flew to Superboy and rubbed his body against Superboy's cheek.
"Okay, bub let's try that again." Said Ultimus.
Ultimus took his hat off and his cloak and some form of holder appears on his side of his waist and some rectangular device that was red appeared in his hand (I suck at descriptions it's a Geed Fuzor)
"Brother! You're using one of those?!" Said Superboy.
"Oh yeah, but don't worry I won't destroy this school, I hope." Said Ultimus.
"He hopes?" Said Robin and Kid Flash
"Martian Manhunter."
Amazo went intangible again as Robin's birdarangs went through it.
"Access: Red Tornado."
Amazo created a red Twister sending the group but Ultimus who wasn't with them.
"Access: Captain Atom."
Amazo tried blasting Kid Flash who zipped through underneath the bleachers and tried coming around to Amazo.
"Access: Black Canary."
Amazo blasted Kid with the Canary cry sending him to the floor.
"Superman."
Amazo dodged Superboy's fist and punched him in the face sending him into his siblings.
"Grr, that's it! You wanna fight?! I'LL GIVE YOU A FIGHT!" Said Ultimus as Amazo turned to him.
Superboy tried attacking Amazo while it was distracted.
"Access: Black Canary."
Superboy was grabbed by the throat and flung with Canaries skill into the bleachers.
Ultimus snarled as he held two black capsules
He clicked one that made a robotic whirring sound.
Then he clicked the next one after putting the first into the holder.
"Zetton!" Was heard
Beside Ultimus was a creature and robot. (Again I suck with descriptions so look up Zetton and King Joe)
Ultimus pressed the device in his hand and grabbed the holder.
He scanned them and charged then pressed the switch again.
"FuSiOn RiSe!"
He was covered in black mist as he punched Amazo through a wall.
"KiNg JoE! ZeTtOn! UlTrAmAn BeLiAl! PeDaNiUm ZeTtOn!
Ultimus became a black twister as everyone held onto to where they were at and Superboy groaned as he got up. The projections were absorbed into the twister as two glowed slanted orange eyes were inside the swirling wind before exploding.
The creature stood about 8 feet tall as Ebony armor coated its chest, upper parts of the arms outer-side , .leaving only parts of his white, bumpy arms and legs exposed. A pair of orbs decorated its chest, pulsating with orange light. It clenched and unclenched its red clawed hands as it stared at its soon to be crushed opponent with its eyeless face. A 'crevice', pulsing with orange light, was nestled between two large, long rainbow diamond like eyes which were the only features its 'face' possessed. A pair of red, ear-like horns were placed atop its head.
But the most eye-catching is the pale gold cyborg armor on the creature as there are battery shaped protrusions sticking out on the shoulder pads and the waist another wye cathing with antennas sticking out and has golden armored feet.
Plus there are red markings at the top and bottom of its chest, with a small purple orb at the center glowing ominously. (Me and a friend made this description)
"Zet... ton." The Creature said with a dark voice.
Ivo was shocked by this, as was the others.
"Maybe you brats, are more skilled than I first believed. Amazo scan them!" Ordered Ivo.
"Scanning."
Amazo's eyes glowed green as he locked on Ultimus, Superboy, Red Elemental,Warhawk, Beyond, Savitar and Wonderman.
Data ran across the android's vision before red X's was shown.
"Error, unable to acquire abilities from selected targets."
"What?!" Said Ivo.
"Guess we're just too much for your toy." Said Warhawk.
"Ha!" Said Savitar.
"If you can't acquire their powers then kill them!" Said Ivo.
"Access Superman."
Amazo charged as did Pedanium Zetton and the two locked arms and it was clearly shown that the form Ultimus took was the stronger.
"Gotcha!" Said Elemental as he and his brothers tried attacking Amazo from behind.
"Martian Manhunter."
Amazo became intangible again as Pedanium Zetton fell through the android as did the others.
The android also extended its arm destroying Robin's birdarangs and tried slamming it down on him but he dodges.
"Superman."
Amazo caught Kid and began squeezing him with a bear hug.
A sound was heard.
"Martian Manhunter."
A arrow was shot through Amazo as it dropped Kid and the arrow landed near Robin seeing it was a green one.
"Access Black Canary."
Superboy got thrown again.
"Superman."
Kid and Savitar grabbed Robin and Beyond and got them out of the way of the androids heat vision blasts.
"Martian Manhunter."
Savitar and Wonderman are launched through the android.
"Nothing we do is making a dent!" Growled Wonderman.
Superboy looks at this.
"Access Black Canary." He said,
While Amazo was intangible Pedanium Zetton and Elemental grunted as they blasted the android with fire which passed through Amazo but it moved as if it hurt.
"Error, error!"
"Wait a second." Said Superboy as he closes his eyes and breaths and begins to think.
"Oh yawn, you children may have extraordinary powers especially the robot thing but you're such poor copies of the originals." Said Ivo leaning back as his two monkeys chuckle.
Superboy opened his eyes and smirked,
"So everyone keeps saying. That... makes me... ANGRY!" Said Superboy as he launched himself at Ivo making the scientist yelp and move as did his monkeys.
"WANNA SEE ME CHANNEL THAT ANGER?!"
"Great he's going ballistic again." Said Kid Flash.
"Maybe not," said Robin.
"Amazo protect your master, priority alpha!" Said Ivo jumping out of the way of Superboy.
"Captain Atom."
Amazo reached out with his arm and fired a beam at Superboy whose S on his chest glowed as a projection of a shield with the shape blocking it.
Ivo was picked up by his monkeys.
"Anyone wanna play keep away?" Said Robin as he and Beyond kicked Ivo down.
"Oh us!" Said Kid Flash as he and Savitar went for Ivo.
"Superman."
Amazo stomped on the ground as the wood was pulled up form the shockwave and Savitar leapt over it but Kid was sent flying.
The android was then struck by Superboy's kryptonite beam again.
"Error, error, error!"
Warhawk and Wonderman charged at Amazo.
"MaRTIAN ManHunter-r-r-r."
Amazo was going in and out of intangibility but kept it long enough to have them go through it.
"Ultimus, Elemental! Hit it with a fire blast!" Said Superboy.
"Okay!" Said the two.
"Zetton!" Pedanium Zetton and Elemental did it again as Amazo was struck.
"Error, error! Error!"
Amazo's voice began getting high pitched.
"Acces S-supe-sup-"
"Access this!" Said Superboy landing behind the android and while it was going in and out of intangibility and shoved his fist through it's head.
Amazo's head began sparking before it exploded.
Then the body fell over like a domino.
"Finally." Said Wonderman.
Pedanium Zetton glowed as Ultimus turned back to normal.
"Quick help me dismantle it!" Said Robin running to it.
"Dude, the guy has no head." Said Kid Flash.
"Don't take any chances." Said Aqualad racing in.
Miss Martian and the rest of the Young Justice team caught Superboy who almost fell over.
"Superboy are you okay?" Said Miss Martian.
"Somewhat, but feeling the aster." Said Superboy making Robin smile.
Beyond walked over to the headless android.
"I hate cheap knockoffs." He said kicking it.
"What is with you and this cheap thing?" Said Savitar.
"Amazing job, baby brother on finding out Amazo's weakness." Said Ultimus.
"Yeah earlier I accidentally used my kryptonite blasts and found it weakened it when it was using Superman's powers. Then the same thing happened when you used the fire." Said Superboy.
"Great job!" Said Tidalwave.
"Do not ever run off again, you scared me." Said Emerald Sapphire.
"Look Ultimus about what I said..."
Ultimus stopped Superboy with a hand.
"I know that we aren't connected by blood, Superboy. But the 12 of us are connected by a bond greater than blood. Love, friendship and our hearts, there is nothing that can be said, done or happen to severe this bond, my brother." Said Ultimus.
"Hmm, lets see you all protected me, taught me things, showed me things, was always there for me, sounds like a big brother to me." Said Superboy.
Ultimus sniffed as he whipped a tear away.
"Aww Mr. Softie! Look at him!" Said Savitar as they laughed.
"Shut up! Come on let's go home." Said Ultimus
"Hey wait! Where's Ivo?" Said Kid Flash
"A problem for another day." Said Wonderman
Back at Mount Justice the next day at 1 in the morning.
Batman, Red Tornado, Black Canary and Green Arrow stood before the team.
"The Amazo android is in pieces again. Safely being analyzed at the two S.T.A.R Labs but Ivo escaped, and since he originated the tech, he's arguably more dangerous than the android." Said Aqualad.
"Capturing the Professor will be a league priority." Said Canary.
"But we understand your mission encountered other complications." Said Martian Manhunter.
Everyone looked at Superboy who looked away.
"Complications come with the job. Your ability to handle them has impressed the league." Said Batman.
"The whole league?" Said Superboy.
"Given time, yes. Kryptonians as you know it have very hard heads." Said Batman making him chuckle.
"Of course, there's no shame in asking for help that's why the league exists. Because there's some problems that even we can't handle individually." Said Batman.
"Please, if we needed help we'd never even get the chance to ask. Look familiar? Said Robin holding the arrow from earlier.
"You were following us, babysitting! You still don't trust us!"
"There's no way that's one of Daddy's arrows." Said Black Arrow
"She's right, we didn't follow you." Said Batman as Green Arrow pulled out one of his arrows and the two weren't similar.
"See?" Black Arrow said.
"Then that means..."
"Speedy!" Said Kid Flash
"He has our backs." Said Aqualad.
"No, it wasn't him. I didn't smell his scent it was a girl." Said Ultimus.
"Whatever, souvenir." Said KF taking the arrow from GA.
The archer and Batman looked at each other.
Superboy looked at Canary and gulped and looked at his siblings.
They nodded at him.
"Canary?" Said Superboy.
"Yes, Superboy?"
"I - we are ready to talk." Said Superboy.
"That's great Batman has a -
"We are going to tell you all, all of the league." Said Ultimus.
"It saves us from repeating ourselves, because we don't know if we can handle telling it again." Said Tidalwave.
Canary looked at Batman who nodded,
"Batman, could you bring Powergirl and Supergirl?" Said Superboy.
Batman nodded to him
2 hours later we find the 11 Cadmus clones sitting in chairs with Morph being held by Canary.
The league stood in front of them.
"We felt that telling you wouldn't be enough for you to understand. We are preparing to show you." Said Elemental.
"Show us what?" Said Batman.
Young Justice looked at one another before looking back.
"The living hell Cadmus put us through, we are dropping the barriers." Said Tidalwave.
"Barriers?" Said Martian Manhunter.
"Our mental barriers, to keep you out father, and cousin M'gann. But for our nightmares to end we need to do this." Said Shifter.
"Are you sure you want to do this?" Said Batman.
"We need to do this. We won't ever feel better until after this." Said Beyond.
"We need to face our demons." Said Wonderman
The league moved as Carol Jordan, the Star Sapphire and Emerald's mother go to her. (Picture her JLU look. Justice league unlimited)
"Are you sure about this sweetie?" She said running her hands through her genetic daughters hair.
"I am mommy. We need to do this." Said Emerald.
Carol nodded and flew to her husband, Hal Jordan.
"Okay, dam's open. We're sorry for what you're about to see. Okay Shifter, link us up." Said Ultimus as Shifter nodded and all of them leaned back in their seats, linking themselves and the League up psychically.
Everyone closed their eyes as they saw what they were showing.
Everybody saw pitch blackness.
"I was the first Cadmus creation and I experienced first hand the hell they did to us." Said Ultimus
Everyone saw restrained to a lab table screaming as various scientists were doing things to him, Desmond was seen grinning a evil toothy grin.
"I was their first attempt on creating something that could take down the league or anyone who they saw as a problem, born from the DNA of heroes and villains of this and other worlds crossing dimensions. They wanted me to act as a general for their attack squad. But I had to prove I was the only one who could be that general, we all had to." Said Ultimus.
They next saw the team fighting other clones some looking like them, some not. They had to watch as they were forced to kill their opponent or be killed.
"I was alone for so long, and treated like a monster for so long... I became it."
Ultimus was shown screaming as he was alone in a black room with his eyes being the only light shown.
He was covered in blood as he was chained like a rabid animal.
"Then came... the augments." Said Savitar
Everyone saw as in laboratories each and everyone of them, even Morph who was back in the corner of a box whimpering and crying, as they were screaming as Desmond watched with the same grin, then he walked over to them as they're in chairs with wires and needles attached to them.
"Don't worry, you shouldn't feel a thing, you brats! Only living things feel pain!" He shouted as he gave them another jolt
"They believed we could be better and have upgrades to make us more capable of killing the league." Said Tidalwave.
"That's when we learned that we were in a new level of hell." Said Black Arrow
"I used to not have this armor and was given a different code name. Godspeed. Until they changed me." Said Savitar.
We see him in a suit similar to Flash's but it had a mask covering all of his face and he was covered in silver and gold.
He was vibrating and screaming as he grabbed his head as armor began covering himself.
When it was done he looked at himself and screamed again then his wrist blades shot out.
"My wings didn't used to be metallic like and I wasn't able to cover myself in Nth metal, but they changed that when they saw me as someone capable of killing magic users." Said Warhawk.
The Thanagarian clone then steels himself.
"And I wasn't able to regrow my wings almost instantly."
Everyone saw except his parents as Hawkgirl turned into her husbands arms and he held her.
Warhawk was shown as some of the scientists had sharp objects but the one holding the scalpel was Desmond.
Warhawk screamed as Desmond began removing his wings... by slicing them off his body.
Then we see him in a container in water with needles injected into him.
Desmond again was seen throwing the switch as a grey liquid began getting injected through the tubes.
Warhawk screamed although muffled by the mask he screamed and screamed as it was injected into his body.
Then in his cell we see him shivering in a corner as the feathers that were once attached to his wings as he was covered in a metal and his wings no longer made of normal feathers but metallic like feathers.
"They found a way to inject the metal in a liquid form combined with other alloys and injected it directly into my bones."
"I was put through various augments, while I was still functioning." Said Red Elemental.
The android was first shown as a young robot looking like a bald human except for the red body.
He was restrained as he was forced to go through them working on him as we see him struggling as his shadow moves trying to break the restraints.
The next we see him as he is now.
"For then ones like me, Black Arrow and Sapphire, we were put through process to enhance our strength and our other attributes, after finding a way to recreate the lantern ring technology to work without a lantern to recharge it." Said Beyond.
The trio were shown knocked out as doctors and scientists were going through procedures using injections and scalpels as they open them up.
Everyone looked away as they were put through their hell.
"They made a major breakthrough in science as they used human and alien technology to create my suit. The most advanced technology of this century." Said Beyond.
"I was put through forced Mystic ceremonies to grant me magic powers and to upgrade my control over animals, to surface animals as well." Said Tidalwave.
Individuals wearing robes with one unseen except for the one that had a orange cat by the man's foot.
Tidalwave was put in the center of the group as he was blasted with red lightning as he screamed.
"They forged my trident by ancient means long lost to the Atlanteans, creating a weapon possibly greater than even Neptune's trident." Said Tidalwave.
"They constantly had my body burned by fire over and over when they believed a being could overcome their natural weaknesses. I proved them right after months of the torture." Said Shifter.
Martian Manhunter held M'gann as she couldn't watch Shifter being burned.
"They did things to my brain to enhance my telepathic powers."
This time Manhunter turned away as he couldn't see them cut open Shifter's head.
"They hardened myself to be like the Amazon warriors so that I could have the same skill to easily kill." Said Wonderman.
Wonderman was strapped in a chair with his eyes forced open to look upon a screen as he screams.
Desmond watched behind glass and chuckled.
Wonder Woman couldn't watch anymore as Batman tightened his hand into a fist.
"They did something that turned me something that was less than a human and more like a monster." Said Ultimus.
We see him in a fetal position as his upper body is shown as we hear bones popping and him screaming as black smoke began covering his body.
He was then shown clad in his armor roaring to the heavens not even sounding like a human being anymore,
"Morph was experimented on to find how he came to existence but he was treated the least cruel as they couldn't exactly hurt him. And since I created him I saw him as my first friend and without that lovable blue blob I would've became the beast they wanted. Then they took him from me, and locked me away to be punished at a later time," Said Ultimus
Morph was crying and wailing for Ultimus as he was forced into a can as Ultimus was locked in his box like prison.
"And then there was me. The last clone, I discovered during a escape attempt that I was half human and was never supposed to gain full Kryptonian powers. I didn't find out who was my human parent, but tried. They put me through a torturous experiment that would grant me my kryptonite immunity and blasts. Which were later upgraded to become different types of energy." Said Superboy.
"No." Said Miss Martian as she pushed herself further into her uncles chest as she didn't want to see this at all.
Superboy was restrained as needles pierced all over his body and Desmond pulls a switch.
A green liquid flows through the tubes into Superboy's body who begins screaming even more as his veins began glowing green.
The screaming turns into bloody murder screams as Superboy's eyes glow green.
Later he is shown looking at his hands as they glowed green.
"The process that gave me my boosted powers also boosted my already given powers and granted me the ability to create a beam that incases the target in a crystal like structure."
Superboy is in a water filled tank as a device activated and began bombarding the tank with electrical energy.
Desmond is shown grinning as the room illuminates.
"For a time we began to believe that we weren't ever going to meet our genetic parents, only be the slaves of Cadmus." Said Beyond.
We see the 12 begin getting covered in darkness as the light is disappearing
"But then Aqualad, Kid Flash and Robin came and helped free us. Releasing us from our torment." Said Tidalwave
Everyone looked as the light was shown again and projections of the three put their arms out to them.
"If it wasn't for you three, we don't want to know what would've became of us." Said Sapphire.
Shifter released the link and brought everyone back.
"How did you survive all of that?" Batman said finally breaking the silence.
"Because we had each other." Said Superboy.
Canary sniffs as she wipes a tear away with her thumb.
"Now that you have gotten this out. How do you all feel? Said Canary as Morph flew to Ultimus.
"We feel... better." They said.
"Like a weights been lifted off our shoulders." Said Beyond.
The young justice team stood up and were embraced by their families except Superboy and Ultimus as they stood alone with Morph.
Superman made a move but Powergirl stopped him.
"I think you've done enough already Kal." She said going to Superboy as she and Supergirl hugged him.
"If you're feeling better tomorrow how would you feel about training with us?" Said Powergirl.
Superboy looked up at them.
"Really?"
"Yeah we're here for you." Said Supergirl as they gave him another hug.
Superman breathed as he turned and left.
Hours later after everyone left we see Superboy getting ready for bed and enter quite possibly the best sleep he's had in a long time. For he may not have Superman but he has another family to call his own, one that has grown larger thanks to the Kents, Kara, Karen and Lois.
Superboy may not have gotten Superman to accept him but he has other now. What hurdles will these heroes go through next?
Tune in next time to find out! Also sorry for the wait, School stuff.
