Prelude:

Superboy clutched a dozen folders close to his chest. Amazingly enough, the Bird Boy's stealth techniques actually worked well enough for him to sneak in and do what he had to do. There was a reason he'd been so attentive to them recently. Rob was pleased. He had managed to sneak into Cadmus and retrieve the answer to a mystery that had been kept from him for too long.

"What are you doing?"

Superboy nearly jumped out of his skin. He turned, ready to fight or flee. His answers would not be taken from him. Not when he'd worked so hard for this.

He saw who it was and relaxed. He was in no danger.

"Give me a heart attack why doncha, Bird Boy."

"I repeat: what are you doing?"

"You know about me being Superman's clone, with a little human DNA mixed in. Well, I found out where Cadmus was keeping the files on the humans who contributed. There were some scientists talking down below about some of them."

Superboy started pulling the file out, and Tim's eyes widened behind

his mask as he saw the name on the first file...

After an incredibly long day, Roy was finally headed home for some quality time with Lian.

"Daddy, Daddy, guess what? I've got a brother!"

Lian drug Roy inside, where Kon was sitting on his couch.

Kon saw the mystified expression on Roy's face, and explained. I finally got the information on which humans' genetic material was used to create me. You're one of them. Hi, Dad."

Roy walked back out of the apartment, stood there for a moment, trying to convince himself that he hadn't seen and heard what had just happened. Then he came back in.

No good. Kon was still there. Now what was he going to do?

Throw Kon out the window and deny that anything had happened?

Go hunting scientists at Cadmus?

Get the files and burn all evidence?

Or scream? Screaming was always good.
