Regarding the third point, the 'no way to prove it' aspect, it wasn't so much a last resort to be implemented upon exposure, but rather something Yang Le had been aiming for from the start.
Yang Le's plan was to join the Young Justice League, become good friends, even bros, with everyone, and then sacrifice his life due to the team's recklessness, giving these kids a harsh lesson and making them regret it deeply.
Just thinking about the gloomy expressions on those kids' faces made Yang Le unable to stop himself from laughing, just like now.
“Heh heh heh.”
Watching Yang Le's eerie laughter, the White-Clothed Mutant considered whether or not to cooperate with him. After all, the man really didn't seem like a normal person.
"You've said so much, but what benefit is there in this for us?" the White-Clothed Mutant asked. In everything Yang Le had said, he hadn't heard anything that would benefit his clan.
"I'll be responsible for taking care of Superboy," Yang Le said, crossing his arms and leaning against the Sphere. "And if I behave well and make a good impression on the Justice League, they might even treat you better."
While the first part of his statement still needed some consideration from the White-Clothed Mutant, the second part strongly tempted him. As an organization trusted by the Public, sometimes the Justice League's words were more effective than the Government's.
In fact, even government agencies sometimes had to heed the Justice League's opinions. If they could gain their support, he and his clan might actually be able to live a better life.
Initially, the White-Clothed Mutant had only hoped to dig out a habitable Space Underground, but if things were truly as Yang Le described, then a better life might no longer be just a Fantasy.
"What do you need me to do?" the White-Clothed Mutant asked after pausing for a moment.
"Very simple," Yang Le said, a Corner of Mouth curling up. Looking as he did now, he resembled an imp from Hell.
"All you need to do is implant some memories at the right time."
————Time Rewinds to the Present————
In the Kr. Project Laboratory, Yang Le, now transformed into a Mutant, was still facing off against the Young Justice League. Behind him, in a Glass Jar, a Clone Body capable of shocking everyone was conspicuously slumbering.
Superboy, the Clone Body of Superman—Clark Kent, was also the key to Yang Le's Plan this time.
Just as Yang Le was facing off against the youths, the three Small Mutants in the three small Glass Jars atop the Hibernation Pod housing Superboy suddenly activated, their Horns emitting a scarlet glow.
After a few seconds, Superboy slowly opened his Eyes. In the sixteen weeks since his creation, this was only the second time he had been roused. The last time was to display his Ability.
"What is it this time?' Superboy woke up with questions in mind. The first thing he saw upon opening his Eyes was Yang Le in Mutant Form with his back facing him.
"You want to Damage my brothers?" Yang Le prompted through the White-Clothed Mutant's Telepathy, already aware of Superboy's arrival, and immediately began his Performance.
"I won't let you succeed!"
"Brothers?" Wally glanced back and forth between Yang Le and Superboy, who was still pretending to sleep with his eyes closed. "Dude, no offense, but you guys don't seem to have anything in common. You've got more than just a Horn compared to him."
"And a Tail," Robin added with a laugh.
"Just wait until I transform into the Kryptonian Form I just unlocked. Then you'll see how alike we are," Yang Le thought vehemently.
"All Creatures born in Cadmus Labs are our brothers," Yang Le declared righteously and resolutely.
"I was created to protect Cadmus's finest masterpiece, our most outstanding brother, Superboy, and prevent him from being coveted by scoundrels like you."
"Scoundrels?!" Wally's Eyes widened. "We're the Young Justice League! Do you even know what Justice means? Can you spell it? We're here to reveal the dark secrets of Cadmus Labs!"
"But you're illegally intruding."
"We told you, we're here for Justice!"
"But you're still illegally intruding."
Kid Flash: "This is the first time I've ever wanted to swear so badly!"
"Stop wasting your breath," Speedy said, drawing his Bow and nocking an Arrow. "It's just a programmed Mutant. You can't reason with it."
Before he finished speaking, Speedy launched a Sharp Arrow. At that moment, the Hibernation Pod behind Yang Le exploded open, and Superboy, who had been pretending to sleep for ages, sprang out, bypassing Yang Le and charging towards Speedy and his companions.
The Sharp Arrow shattered and ricocheted off Superboy. Ignoring all Attacks launched against him, Superboy reached out to seize Speedy. His Speed was simply too fast; Speedy couldn't react in time and could only rely on the Bow he held to defend himself.
The Bow, constructed from special materials and incredibly resilient, snapped in two the instant it struck Superboy's Palm. Unimpeded, Superboy's hand finally clamped down on Speedy's neck.
"Don't refer to us as 'it'!" Superboy roared, lifting Speedy into Mid-air, ignoring his flailing fists and feet and the Attacks from everyone around him.
Seeing Speedy was about to suffocate, Aqualad drew two Aquapacks, manipulated the Water flow to form a Spiked Hammer, and with all his strength, smashed it down on Superboy.
Relying on his super hearing, even without seeing Aqualad, Superboy could roughly gauge the force of his Attack. He knew that if it connected properly, even he would stagger.
But he still didn't look back. Instead, he hurled Speedy, still in his grasp, towards Kid Flash, who was charging at him. Kid Flash had no choice but to halt his acceleration and catch Speedy, preventing him from being smashed onto the Ground.
But Superboy's Power far exceeded Kid Flash's expectations. He couldn't catch him at all. Speedy, along with Kid Flash, rolled away until they slammed into a Wall and finally stopped.
As for Aqualad, who was rushing in from behind Superboy, Yang Le used his Telepathic Ability to control heavy objects and sent him flying. Robin, who had just pulled a Smoke Bomb from his Backpack, was immediately immobilized by Yang Le, unable to move.
If Megan had been here, Yang Le definitely wouldn't have been able to run rampant with his Superpower so easily. But unfortunately, there were no 'ifs'. Megan was still on the Ground, and the Yang Le on the Ground had instructed her to standby at the Original Place, while he himself was still slowly making his way here.
And Megan, knowing her Partner was suffering through Telepathy, could only feel frustrated and anxious. Things had certainly turned around. Initially, Megan had restrained Yang Le, but now Yang Le had restrained Megan. The tables had truly turned.
Yang Le used his Ability to tear off a few useless Railings, using them as Ropes to bind Robin and Aqualad. Superboy, following suit, improvised, tearing off a section of Metal Floor and ripping it into strips to tie Speedy and Kid Flash into Zongzi.
"Thanks for your help, bro," Yang Le said, walking over to Superboy and starting to build goodwill.
"Don't mention it," Superboy replied, his face still expressionless. But Yang Le knew it was just because he hadn't been awake for long and didn't know how to interact with people yet.
