[David Lance POV]
As Robin, Aqualad, and Kid Flash dealt with the fire. Raven and I infiltrated CADMUS, using her magic to skip most of the security in the building.
'There are a lot of telepaths here,' Raven stated through our recently formed mental connection.
'Yes,' I replied, wondering if they would prove to be a problem later on.
'Don't worry, I can shield our presence from them,' Raven added calmly, answering my unspoken question.
I nodded with a smile at that, as Raven continued moving us through the levels of CADMUS, using her magic to phase us through them with ease.
If Canon remained the same, Group A, which consisted of Aqualad, Kid Flash, and Robin, would reach Superboy in a matter of minutes or hours; on that part, my intervention wasn't required.
My mission in CADMUS was completely different. I wanted to destroy all of their work, and in order to do exactly that, I would put the sidekicks' infiltration above to good use, making it my cover for what I was about to do.
'Stop, and try to move us to that room,' I said, catching sight of a computer that, based on the schematics I had stolen from one of the Genomorphs' on level 12, was connected to the main servers.
'On it,' Raven replied, promptly moving our intangible forms to the room with a quick phase. Once in there, Raven muttered her mantra, engulfing our bodies in dark energy, casting an illusion over us, making us look like a pair of Genomorphs.
'I'll let you know then,' Raven replied calmly. 'CADMUS is literally chasing them, all of their personnel that was fast, they really didn't keep a low profile, at all.'
Well, that was fast.
Knowing there was no clean way to access the computer and that distraction would lose its effect soon enough, I forced the computer to open a terminal window, where I typed a few commands that would or rather should give me access to their server.
I knew this would fail, but there was no need to worry, as this was nothing but step one in the process.
Within seconds, as I had expected, the computer screen went black, as an error message appeared, telling me that I had made an unauthorized access attempt.
I smiled, pulling one of Batman's gadgets, one used particularly for hacking situations.
Connecting the gadget to the PC, I forced the computer to restart, using the USB I had connected as a booting device, one that was connected to the main booting device creating something Batman likes to call a ghost link between devices, allowing device A access to device B.
This, however, wouldn't give me access to the files I wanted, but it would give me access to the security measures of the computer, that in time, would give me access to the files I wanted to download and destroy.
Focused, I disabled the cybersecurity measures of the building, putting the cameras on the floor we were in a loop of old recordings, before turning the PC off, disconnecting my gadget in the process.
Now from this point forward, it was a race against the clock. From the moment I had disabled their security protocols in place for electronic files, I had sent an alarm off around the building.
From here, I had a minute or two to get what I wanted before whoever was in charge of CADMUS cybersecurity located the source of the alarm and, in turn, located me.
I probably had more time, especially considering that they would have to run to Desmond's office to find me, as their cameras on this floor were, as of the moment, very useless, but that would at much buy me a few seconds.
And I didn't like running it so close.
So, I would work within the time frame of them noticing.
'Be ready to move when I say hm, when I think the word,' I said, turning the PC back on.
