So I've always wondered what it would be like if Connor adopted a little girl, so this is the whole story behind it.
Jason doesn't hate the others, Damien and Wally live, why? Because I said so, deal with it!
Chapter One: Part of the Family
A little girl, no more than six years old was running for her life away from a couple of thugs. She screamed as one of them caught up to her, lifting her off the ground with ease.
"Hey!"
It was Superboy, he had been in Metropolis with Superman, and the two now stood, ready to save the little girl from the ten muscular men that had been pursuing her.
"Superman... shit..." one of the thugs said. The man of steel quickly took out several of the thugs while Superboy took down the rest, the latter of the two heros knelt down in front of the little girl.
"Are you okay?" He asked gently, putting a hand out to help the girl up from where the thug had dropped her on the ground. She didn't take it.
"Mommy... they hurt Mommy." Superboy froze, as Superman flew down the street to where a young woman, maybe twenty-eight years old lay on the ground. He frowned at Superboy.
"Let me take you somewhere safe." Superboy said to the little girl.
"What about Mommy?" The little girl glanced down the street to where her mother lay, willing her dead mother to get up.
Superboy didn't know what to say, suddenly, the girl ran to her mother and screamed, hugging her mother's bloodied torso.
"Mommy! Wake up! Please, Mommy! Don't Leave me."
Superboy gently pulled the crying girl away from the body as she sobbed into his chest.
"Mommy's gone... just like Daddy..." she whispered through her sobs.
Superboy patted her back gently, soothing the child.
After a few minutes, Superman contacted authorities and the woman was wheeled away in a body bag, CPS arrived to take the little girl.
"What's your name honey?"
"Klair Miller, what's yours?"
"Can you keep a secret?"
The little girl nodded, "cross my heart."
Connor whispered in her ear very quietly, "I'm Connor, would you like me to come to the orphanage and adopt you?"
The little girl nodded happily.
"Yes, very much. See you Superboy."
The little girl went with the woman, and the next day, Connor Kent went to the orphanage and adopted little Klair.
"Ready to come home with me?"
She nodded and Connor slung her purple duffle bag over his shoulder, picking up the obviously exhausted six year old and carrying her to his car.
"Klair, do you know what happened last night?"
"Mommy went up to heaven, she's with Daddy now." She said sadly, Connor waited to see if she said anything more, and surprisingly to him, she did.
"I won't see them ever again, not 'till I go up to heaven, but I hope that I'm really old when that happens."
The girl was obviously depressed, but Connor smiled at her, "I hope that you don't go to heaven for a long time too, Klairy. Even though you'll get to see your mom and dad."
And so it began, Connor had adopted the little girl that he'd saved, much to Clark's confusion, but after six months of adjusting to life with Connor, she began to come out of her little depression stage and one night, while at Ma and Pa Kent's, Klairy asked Connor a very important question.
"Connor," Klairy said, breaking the silence at the fire place. Connor looked up from his book to see Klair standing right in front of him, she rubbed her eyesand he pulled the little six year old into his lap.
"Yeah, Klair?" Connor asked happily.
"Do you think Mommy and Daddy would mind if I called you Daddy?"
Connor paused then thought. 'I've helped her through the tough time, given her what she needed. Klair's like a daughter to me, as much as she is to them.' He said to himself.
"No, I don't think they'd mind." Connor said smiling at her.
"Would you?"
He beamed even brighter, hugging his adopted daughter closely," I would love it, Klairy."
Klair smiled and snuggled into Connor, "in that case, I'm tired, Daddy."
Connor's smile grew bigger yet, which seemed horribly impossible, and he nodded, rocking her off to sleep while his brother and parents watched the new addition to their family fall asleep, safe inside her father's arms.
The next morning, Connor had to go to the Watchtower. Klairy knew he was Superboy, so before leaving the farm, he talked to Clark.
"What's the matter little brother?"
"I need to go to the Watchtower, I'm debating whether or not I should bring Klair."
Clark pondered it for several minutes, then smiled," she does know that we are superheroes. I suppose it would be good, after all, she has shown interest in training. After what happened, I'm sure she would love to meet the others."
Connor smiled and thanked Clark, then jogged up to the house to help his daughter pack a bag.
Half an hour later, Klair was on Connor's shoulder's as they strode out of the zeta into the Watchtower.
"That felt wierd..." she giggled, leaning forward to lean on Connor's head.
"I know, but it'll get better as you get used to it."
Klair smiled and looked around the large observation deck.
"Where are we Daddy?"
Connor smiled, "this is the Watchtower, it's where I come for all my superhero stuff."
Klair giggled and Connor reached up to tickled her.
"Hey, Connor...uh... who's that?"
"Everyone, this is Klair, Klair, these are my friends, Megan, Dick, Wally, Artemis, Barbra, and Cassie."
Klair waved and smiled happily.
"Can I explore Daddy?"
Connor smirked to himself, she'd just started calling him that. Lifting Klair off his shoulders, he smiled, "stay where I can see you." He warned, she took off running.
"Daddy?" Artemis snickered, her grasp firm on Wally's arm. Artemis was two months pregnant, and Wally was suddenly nervous about the idea of being a father, even though he and Artemis had been married for almost a year now.
"I adopted her six months ago, just last night she asked me if she could call me daddy. I had no problem with it."
Megan smiled at Connor, the others all still looked surprised.
"Wow, you sure know how to drop a bomb on people, Connor."
Everyone laughed and suddenly, Klair screamed.
"Klairy!" Connor ran in her direction and found her laughing giddily with Wolf who had licked her cheek. Connor let out a sigh of relief and picked up Klair, much to Wolf's dismay.
"Where are all the other kids?"
Connor frowned. It hadn't occured to him that no other kids would be there. He was proven wrong when Roy (Red Arrow) zeta'd in with five year old Lian Harper on his hip.
"Hey guys... whoa... there's another kid.
Klair smiled and ran up to Lian as Roy set her down. The adults watched in amazement as they hit it off.
"Hi, I'm Klair. I like your butterfly." She said pointing to the little butterfly hair clip Lian wore in her hair.
Lian smiled, "I'm Lian, thanks, wanna go play?"
Klair nodded and looked at Connor, puppy dog eyes wide open at him. Connor nearly melted to gooey mush.
"Be very careful."
The two girls cheered excitedly and ran off, Connor suddenly wondered what the hell he'd gotten his baby girl into.
"You all saw the kid too right?" Roy asked, blinking, trying to decipher exactly what just happened. The others laughed, Connor just smiled.
"It looks like our daughters are going to be good friends." He told the older ginger. Roy shot him a look and just shook his head. Suddenly an explosion occurred down the hallway, the group all her laughter and Black Canary, and Zatanna yelling.
"Lian!" "Klair!" The two fathers yelled running towards the laughter. Dick was close behind, wanting to help out Zatanna, while the others all came in soon after. The room was an explosion of glitter. Zatanna was wiping it out of her eyes, Black Canary tried to get it out of her hair. The walls were coated, except for two very Black Canary and Zatanna shapped spots that were suspisciouly clean.
Lian and Klairy jumped out of the rafters, laughing histarically. Dick ran over to Zatanna, " you alright, Zee?"
"What the... am I seeing double or are there not just one, but two little kids laughing at this prank?"
"That's Klair, Connor's daughter. You good?"
Zatanna nodded and Black Canary just sighed, "What are we going to do with two red-headed mischief makers?"
Everyone just shook their heads. Connor and Roy sighed, "I'll get the mop," Roy said, "I'll get the sponges." Connor agreed. Soon, the two little girls were watching tangled while their fathers scrubbed the random room, grumbling about what they would do next.
Conor and Roy went into the lounge area of the Watchtower prepared to punish their little girls, but when they found the two curled up on opposite ends of the couch, Lian with her thumb in her mouth, they decided it could wait.
"This is going to be one heck of a ride," Roy told Connor as they each picked up their child. Connor nodded, "but, I'm going to enjoy it, Roy, you are too." they nodded and went their seperate ways, leaving the Watchtower behind to take their little girls home.
There will DEFINITELY be more glitter and butterflies to come, but for now, I must say good night to all you little Birdies. I shall update soon! Ideas for plots to these one shots are always welcome, review and continue.
