Klarion walked into towards one of the cells. He could hear movement in the other “rooms” but ignored them. He turned down several corridors and halted in front of a single cell. Three inch doors of pure steel guarded the occupant. He touched the door, smoothing his fingers over.
“Cell 1398. Hmm. Just who I was looking for.”
Klarion moved to the lock, pressing in a number of sequences. The doors slid open with a hiss and Klarion walked into the room. His cat followed behind him, entering the dimly lit room with caution. The Witch boy walked up to a tank filled with purple liquid. A girl floated inside. She looked like she was standing. A silver casco covered her eyes but Klarion remembered when they first found her; her eyes were brown. Her black and red hair floated around her, grown in the many months she'd been there. Needles were injected in her skin and the white dress vestido she had been wearing since día one was stretched and shortened on her body. A machine to the right checked her vital signs. Klarion went over to it, seeing her status as normal. Mr. Teekl meowed and looked up at his owner.
“I know my pet,” the Witch Boy answered. “She's been sleeping too long.”
The cat meowed again, walking over to the tank.
“Soon. Soon. We must be patient. She must grow up first.”
The cat let out a hiss. It's eyes glowed red.
“I know. She is beginning to wake. The drugs are wearing thin. The needles are beginning to turn frail. We must go tell the master. Our plan must be unknown.”
The cat let out one más hiss.
“Yes. She is moving. But even her power is weak. In order to fulfill our assignment, she must stay asleep.”
Jade hit the ground with a thud. The blinking light graded her every move; F. She had failed. Robin stuck his hand out to help her up.
“Wow. I really am out of practice,” Jade dicho as she stood.
“You just need to keep trying. tu did great for awhile.”
“Thanks. tu did really well.”
“Never missed a training day.”
“Never?”
“Not unless it was inevitable.”
Jade shook her head and went to the kitchen. She grabbed a bottled water from the fridge, offering one to Robin as well. He shook his head no.
“So...”
“So.”
Silence filled the air between them, making the moment a little awkward. Robin hopped up onto the counter and Jade took a swig of her water.
“Can I ask tu something?”
“Go ahead Robin.”
Robin looked away for a minute, choosing his words carefully.
“When tu were working for the Light...did tu know a girl named Becca Stevens?”
A flash of the image she had seen earlier appeared before her eyes and Jade blinked her eyes.
“The name sounds familiar.”
“Do tu know anything about her?”
“I-I can't remember. All I remember is seeing her taken into the base when I was younger. She was shouting, trying to get free.”
“Do tu remember anything else?”
“She kept saying your name. She would keep shouting it over and over again. As if it gave her ope.”
Jade cocked her head, looking at how pale Robin had become.
“Why do tu ask?”
“I used to know her. When we were very young.”
“Oh Robin! I'm sorry.”
“You didn't know. Jade, do tu know what happened to her?”
“No. If she was taken she was put in a cell like the rest of us.”
“What do tu mean like the rest?”
Jade blinked, knowing she had messed up. She opened her water, taking a huge drink. Robin continued to stare at her.
“Jade. What do tu mean?”
Jade paused a minuto before speaking.
“There are más of us Robin. más who have been trained por the Light to destroy o replace the heroes. o to take control of them.”
“How many of tu are there?”
“In total? 2000. All have been trained, genetically engineered, o created as clones. With the exception of Frost. She has multiple DNAs inside her.”
“There are 2000 of you?!”
“Yes. Well now there are 1996. The three of us escaped. It wasn't easy. There are tons of guards everywhere. It's a regular Cadmus.”
“You know about Cadmus?”
“That is where Superboy was made. He was created por the Light. But he escaped too. Hence why there are now only 1996 victims that belong to the Light.”
“They took that many children, that much DNA to create their own army?”
“Yes. They have plans but I can not tell tu what they are. All I know is that only four have left the base alive. 5000 others have left dead.”
“Cell 1398. Hmm. Just who I was looking for.”

Now in the Charlie Brown spirit, Robin sat at the paino and started playing a couple notes.
"Do tu know any Charlie Brown songs?" Megan asked as Artemis sat beside Robin.
"Yeah, three, only one has lyrics though." Robin replied, turning the notes into a song.
"Christmas time is here, Happiness and cheer, Fun for all that children call, Their favorito! time of the year" The teen added lyrics.
"Snowflakes in the air, Carols everywhere, Olden times and ancient rhymes, Of amor and dreams to share." Artemis continued.
"Sleigh bells in the air, Beauty everywhere, Yuletide por the fireside, And joyful memories there." Megan added sweetly.
"Christmas time is here, We'll be drawing near, Oh, that we could always see, Such spirit through the year, Oh, that we could always see, Such spirit through the year..." The three finished laughing. Wally walked in.
"You guys are good singers." He smirked.
"SHUT UP!"

Robin:
i decided to take a quick walk to get Artemis and Wally's yelling out of my head. there where little snowflakes falling and frost gathered on the ground, the harbor had a happy Christmasy feel to it, i walked por a little group of kids and they were singing.
"Dashing through the snow, in a pair of broken skis over the hills we go crashing into trees bam, bam, bam the snow is turning red i think i'm almost dead woke up in the hospital with stitches in my head" the song was odd but the kids were laughing, tu just had to smile, but then the kids went on to the segundo verse.
"Jingle bells, batman smells," WAIT WHAT?! my eyes widen
"Robin laid and egg," I glare and stomp up the sidewalk, but the kids are still singing
"The Bat-mobile lost its wheel and Joker flew away HEY, jingle bells, jingle bells.........." i mutter stupid kids
