Author: D.L.SchizoAuthoress
Rating: G
Spoilers: reference to S1:E22 "Agendas" and the reveal of S1:E26 "Auld Acquaintance"
Warnings: none that I can think of
Prompt/Fill: none
Word Count: 253
Summary: Dubbilex waits for his brother to act.
Note: Season Three better pick up this plot line, or my deep well of bitter clone-love feeling will get even deeper.
Word of the Day: bollix, verb: To do (something) badly; bungle (often followed by up) -- "His interference bollixed up the whole deal."
The Pursuit
Dubbilex wonders sometimes if the genomorphs who appear human-like -- the Roy Harper known as Red Arrow, Superboy, the early experiment known as Match -- might not have a more difficult path to walk, in some ways, than their more varied kin. They walk amongst the humans without detection, true. They have freedoms that Dubbilex can hardly imagine for himself. But they are caught between two worlds, and have had to struggle for a place in one or the other.
Still, there are limits to his sympathy. The human-like genomorphs have fallen in line with the humans, taking no risks to establish the personhood of their more alien-looking brethren. They've been accepted by humans, true, but also consumed by the troubles of humans, to the detriment of their kind. Dubbilex still harbors bitterness at the loss of the secret city, revealed by the brawling of Match and Superboy.
There is no happiness in imprisonment, in endless servitude, in slavery. The genomorphs were created for this role, but that does not make it right.
Dubbilex has sifted through the thoughts of every human who moves through Cadmus, and he knows that there is no difference between them and his kind, at the core. Genomorphs have abilities and strengths beyond normal human purview, but both peoples yearn for the same things -- love, acceptance, inclusion, liberty.
Dubbilex still has faith that the one he called brother, Superboy, will free the genomorphs. Just because his efforts remain yet unseen doesn't mean such efforts have not been taken.
Doesn't it?
