Cadmus labs were burning the scent of melting paint was disgusting
The fire high and intimidating engulfed the whole building in its wake
Batman made himself known and walked over to Clark
Stopping right behind the man
"Superman, what's the situation"
Kal turned to him aware of his heartbeat near by
The poor firefighter had no such luck- Startled he scurried off
"The fire started in one of the labs further inside, a slow chemical reaction triggered an explosion."
" We're still not sure, the labs are abandoned, there was no one inside."
Batman nodded, this could be more complicated than it appeared to be on the surface
He felt someone approaching from behind
"There was still someone inside" Diana held a folded blanket as she walked to them , the blanket was rapidly becoming-
"flash and I found a child in one of the containment pods"
-An infant shaped blanket.
"Flash was able to save a part of the pod he was in. Batman , I believe you will benefit from it"
She was talking about The part Flash got for him
He absently noted the gust of wind as the speedster zipped beside him
But he was too fixated on what she held in her arms
More interested in the small hand that freed itself from the yellow fabric and is now waving
In a pattern only children knew , it's cold. The baby should be covered more
Diana tucked the hand back into the warmth, he took that as his cue to turn back to the conversation
"-and then when I got there it wasn't all that burnt you know, this poor little guy over there was on the east side! We wouldn't have known he was there if not for his crying"
It seems He hadn't missed much
"His containment pod wasn't really working, like you know "containing him"
But the machines were definitely fine so I got you a sample, Bats! I assume it's a memory box of sorts"
"Hrnn" he grunted in thanks as he took the surprisingly intact black rectangle the size of his palm
Flash grinned at him "Is that a thank you?"
" I'll connect this to the Batcomputer Data analysis center " Barry made a noise of agreement
"And it's gonna tell us where this little guy came from " Batman noded
Kal and Diana etched closer to see the memory holder where it's connected to his wrist,
Naturally bringing the child closer to him
The data started showing up quickly flashing across the screen
The Batcomputer recognized the DNA and blood samples the Pod held of the child
And so did Kal and Diana looking at his screen
The baby whined next to him in her hold; Bruce's heart ached at the sound
" Batman, are the readings correct " Wonder woman's eyes locked onto the side of his Head " they have to be wrong right?" Flash's feet stayed firmly on the ground "right?" He sounded less sure when Batman stayed silent
"Flash,The batcomputer never makes a mistake "
Clark is right, The batcomputer never makes a mistake
"then it has to be the memory box! There's no way that baby is his!"
The memory box was in perfect condition
Bruce finally looked up from his screen, the child's head -now peeking through the blanket- is full of black hair, and his face an adorable frown
Diana- sensing his gaze- Smiled softly and put the small bundle in his arms. His lips twitched "Hello, Terry. "
Well, might as well give him a name
