Title: Sing for the Hopeless
Author: D.L.SchizoAuthoress
Rating: PG-13
Spoilers: Superboy v3 #73 and #74, a little bit for "Sins of Youth", but it goes AU from #74
Warnings: AU! Large swaths of action and dialogue are lifted from the issues, because that's how I roll. Violence and mild language warning. Some allusions to torture.
Prompt/Fill: Any, any, all is all, you're no good, you don't cry like you should. (Breaking Benjamin)
Word Count: 6098
Summary: Dubbilex makes the right move, and the consequences of that action build up to be startling.
Note: this is a prequel written to set up a story for a prompt from dokuhan
Word of the Day: fabulist, noun:
1. A liar.
2. A person who invents or relates fables.
Sing for the Hopeless
'Go to Habitat.'
The thought was a command, but it also felt like a thought of his own. Dubbilex walked through the halls of the Cadmus Project, turning aside the attention of anyone he encountered. It was easy to escape their notice, both because it was a simple telepathic push to keep their brains from recognizing that he was there and because he'd been doing it for such a long time. There was an odd pulse of amusement, again seeming to come from within and without simultaneously.
Then he became aware of the Gene-Gnome... the only friend and ally he had left at the Cadmus Project. It must have been the Gnome's idea to leave for the tree-city. Dubbilex did not mind. It was a good idea to see what Superboy and his allies had planned.
He walked on, complacent.
