River laid in some kind of test tube. (much like the one super boy was found in.) She laid at an ninety degree angle.

"I'm sorry." A voice said from the shadows.

"How much longer?" Another voice said.

"You will know when it's time. But for now, keep working. It's the only way to keep her asleep during the procjure."

"But what happens when she wakes up?" The second voice asked.

"Don't worry about that!" The first voice snapped. "Just focus on this, I'll back soon."

"Hi Robin?" Robin woke up with a jolt, he cursed himself for falling asleep. He spun around and saw Black Conakry stand behind him.

"Hey." He mumbled as he wiped the grool off of his face.

Black Conakry gave him a slightly disgusted look, but quickly hide it with consurn. "How about you go home and get cleaned up?" She spoke softly, as much as Robin cared for her. He was done with being cradled.

Robin looked back at the screen, sighed. "I'll watch the screens."

"You're right, just-Just tell me if you get any news?" Black Conakry nodded as she helped him up.

After Robin had showered, he changed I to his spare uniform. Robin stopped at River's door, where he heard wimpering. He couldn't help himself, Robin opened the door and wa Quinn laying on River's bed crying. "I'm sorry Quinn!" Robin spoke softly to the dog as he sat on the bed.

The puppy dug her head deeper into River's pillow. Robin held back tears and looked around the room, his eyes derectly moved to the vanity mirror by the door. Robin stood and walked over to it.

The dark desk was decorated with a small family picture. It showed a woman who looked much like River staring out a window, holding a little baby with bright green eyes rapped in a little pink blanket. Robin picked it up and smiled.

"You were so cute, Riv." He mumbled. 'But why isn't her mom smiling?' Robin look closer, the woman seemed to be looking at something. Like it she was trying to tell him something important. Robin grabbed a magnifying glass from his tool belt, and examined where Clara's gaze was aimed. In the reflection of the window was what looked like a report.

'Project Erebus is going smoothly. Her DNA has excepted the formula perfectly, but time will tell if it her body can handle it.'

Robin gasped, he then he took the picture out of it's frame. There were song lyrics written on the back; he read the carefully. The talked about a lost love, a smart, rich loved one. "Luther, I could've known." Robin then gently placed it on the seat. And ran out of the room.

************************************

Robin didn't bother going back to Mount Justice, he needed answers; After he had snuck into Luther's skyscraper, he hacked onto Lex's computer and pulled up his past history.

"Let's see what you've been up to..." Robin mumbled as his typed. An old email popped up saying:

'the Lab and Home is ready... will be expecting your vist soon. -R.A.'

"Where are you going?" Just before he could get to the bottom of the email, Robin's signal was crambled. "Come on, come!"

BEEP! BEEP!

"Code Red. Trustpasor detected in top floor. I repeat, Code Red." A voice said from the speakers in the room, as Red lights started flashing. Robin cursed himself as threw a bomb at the window and jumped out.
