Zephyr: A Young Justice OC fanfiction

Chapter 3: Exceeding Expectations

As soon as we arrive at the fire, KF zooms ahead and saves two guys. But as soon as he's done, he looses his footing and trips, having to patch onto a windowsill.

"So smooth." Rob said.

"At least he saved those guys..?" I said, shrugging.

"Does he always run ahead? We need a plan, we-" Kaldur turns, only to see Rob's disappeared. We both look up to see him doing ninja moves to get into the building and get KF.

"Well...that's inconvenient." I muttered. Before we both looked at each other, nodded, and ran towards the building.

"We need to get those men on the roof to safety and get in the building." Kaldur said.

"Got it." I responded before whisking my hands through the air, creating a small hurricane before turning to my friend. "You may want to hold on."

Suddenly, Kaldur's arms hands grab my shoulders and I left us both into the air. I first stop at the two men.

"We're going to get you down, but you need to stay calm." Kaldur said before I began summoning a breeze to lift them and carry them to the ground. At first, they struggle but I manage to get them down safely.

"Done." I hummed before carrying Kaldur and myself into the building.

"Appreciate the help." Kaldur said sourly to KF and Robin as we stepped in. I halted my hurricane and began walking around the room, looking or something.

"You and Zephyr handled it. Besides, we're here to investigate." Rob said. "Poetic justice, remember."

I heard a strange sound, which Kaldur also seemed to recognise. We both found ourselves walking into the hallway, where I saw a humanoid-esk figure standing in an elevator, but only for a brief moment before the doors shut.

"There was something in the-" Kaldur begun but was cut off by KF. "Elevators should be locked down."

"This is wrong..." Robin hummed before check-in his wrist-computer. "Thought so. This is a high-speed, express elavator. It doesn't belong in a two-story building."

"Neither does what we saw." Kaldur said, before forcing the elevator doors open with his enhanced strength.

We all looked down the elevator shaft to find it to be more like a bottomless pit.

"And that's why they need an express elavator." Robin quipped.

"We're going down there, aren't we?" I asked, paranoid. Going down a dark, cramped elevator shaft wasnt exactly on my 'must do' list.

"Ladies first." Robin smirked. I bit my lip for a moment before sighing and summoning another breeze to take me down the shaft. I heard Robin use his grappling hook to create a rope down after me.

At sub-level 26, he stopped. Once realizing this, I did to.

"I'm at the end of my rope." The small boy explained before swinging to the nearest ledge. As Kaldur and KF also landed on the ledge, Robin began to bypass security. Once he gave to OK, Kaldur opened the doors to reveal a dark, red-tinted hallway.

"Welcome to Project Cadmus." Rob said.

"Anyone else feel like we shouldn't be here..." I muttered, fiddling with my braid.

Completely ignoring my worry, KF zoomed ahead.

"Kid, wait!" Kaldur exclaimed, but it was to late. Down the hallway, he fell and was almost crushed by...a herd of some sort of alien mammoth-things...

"No, nothing odd going on here..." Kaldur said sarcasticly.

I didnt know whether to be shocked at the creatures, or the fact that Kaldur just used sarcasm.
