Chapter 342 Inquiry
"Name?"

"O weapon."

"Superboy."

In the reception room of the Hall of Justice, Yang Le and Superboy in their alien states were sitting on the sofa and being questioned by the Justice League. There were two people in charge of questioning them, one was the robot Red Tornado, and the other was the teenagers' other guardian, Black Canary.

Several other teenagers were standing with the other members of the Justice League. The Hall of Justice refused to receive tourists today, so they could stand in the observation room prepared for tourists and watch everything happening in the reception room.

This chat venue was carefully selected by Batman based on the information provided by several teenagers and Yang Le. He learned that Superboy was an emotionally unstable Superman clone who hated other people's orders and questioning of him. As for Yang Le, he was relatively stable and there was nothing special about him.

As for the messy scene, it was handed over to other members of the Justice League to deal with. First of all, we must mention the three Green Lanterns, namely Hal Jordan, John Stewart and Guy Gardner.

Green Lantern's ability to conjure objects from his imagination is truly well-suited to bolstering the shaky state of the Washington district.

"Is this your two names?" Red Tornado raised his head, seeming a little surprised.

"What's wrong?" Superboy's eyebrows immediately rose. "I don't think Red Tornado is much better than our name, is it?"

Wally in the observation room couldn't help but hold his forehead and said, "He started again."

Facing Superboy's ridicule, Red Tornado did not show any emotion, rather it did not feel angry, which was why it was chosen to be questioned by one of the two people.

"I'm sorry, I didn't mean to laugh at you." Red Tornado's voice was flat. "I just thought you had a better name."

"The Young Justice Leaguers mentioned this to us."

Perhaps because he was afraid that Superboy would say something rude, Yang Le took the initiative to take over the conversation.

"We are also considering this, but unfortunately the previous Speed ​​​​did not give us this opportunity."

"Understood." A blue light flashed in Red Tornado's eyes. "I'll record this conversation on my computer. What I just said probably offended you two. I will never make the same mistake again."

"Excuse me," Black Canary said suddenly. "Red Tornado was created to be a weapon just like you. But like you, he was lucky enough to escape a tragic fate. However, when it comes to communicating with others, he's a novice, just like you."

"The same goes for us." Yang Le replied. Superboy, who was sitting next to him, nodded awkwardly. After hearing about Red Tornado's life experience, he couldn't help but feel sorry for his rudeness just now.

This is another reason why Batman chose Red Tornado. Similar experiences can greatly enhance their empathy, which will also play a key role in the subsequent questioning. It must be said that this trick is indeed very useful for Superboy. At least he is no longer very resistant to questioning. "Let's continue," said Red Tornado.

"What were you each created based on?"

"I was created based on the superhuman genes stored by the Cadmus Institute." Yang Le raised a hand, transforming it into razor mode. "Unlike the mutants you've contained, I'm more like a collection of them. I possess almost all of their abilities."

Even though Yang Le and Superboy were the only ones in the reception room, all the mutants from the Cadmus Institute's Justice League were also included and were all taken in together. In view of the mutants' friendly attitude, the Justice League did not put them in prison, but first sent them to an uninhabited island.

But even so, the mutant in white was very happy. It was something he had never dared to imagine before that mutants could have their own little world, and they didn't have to come into contact with humans. It was simply perfect.

Originally, Yang Le should have been thrown into an uninhabited island like other mutants, but Superboy was adamant and refused to let the Justice League take Yang Le away alone. The Young Justice League also said that Yang Le knew many secrets of the Cadmus Institute, so they let Yang Le stay.

Not to mention the Young Justice League, Yang Le was very pleased with Superboy's attitude. It was not in vain that he gained so much favorability. When something happened, Superboy really stepped up.

"I am a clone of Superman, but I am not made up of only Superman's DNA. That is only half of me. The other half comes from an Earthling."

Superboy spoke sternly. The identity of a clone was indeed not something to be proud of, not to mention that his abilities were far inferior to those of the original.

After hearing Superboy's words, everyone except Red Tornado, who was a robot, and the Young Justice League members who had known about it for a long time showed surprise. In fact, it was not difficult to see the relationship between the two from their appearance. Superboy was simply the teenage version of Superman. When Superman first met Superboy, he thought he had met his childhood.

Although everyone had guessed it long ago, there is always a difference between guessing and the other party admitting it personally. After hearing Superboy's personal admission, Superman's already frowning brow became even more distorted.

Putting aside the dangers of Kryptonian powers, Superboy himself is enough to give Superman a headache. What is his relationship with Superboy? Logically, Superboy was created based on his own DNA and should be his own child.

But Superman hasn't even gotten married yet, and suddenly a child appears whose actual biological age is only 16 weeks, but whose physical body has reached the level of a 16-year-old. What should Lois do?
And Superman is not blind. When he first met Superboy, he saw the admiration and hope in Superboy's eyes, which made him feel at a loss. He could only pretend not to see it and deal with it coldly. After that, Superman received a look of disappointment that he had not seen for a long time.

"Do you know who provided the Earth half of your genes?" Black Canary asked.

Superboy didn't say anything this time, but looked at Yang Le beside him. Yang Le understood and spoke for Superboy.

"We don't know who provided Superboy's Earthling genes." Yang Le clasped his hands together. "But I know he comes from an organization called the Illuminati, and the Cadmus Institute is just one of their many secret bases. And they seem to be planning something."
