"After breaking out of Cadmus, Superboy gets to taste food for the first time." – Prompt from YJ anon meme.

Not exactly what anon asked for, but oh well. Short and sweet, too.

An Acquired Taste

To be honest, Superboy had – at first – hated food. Any and all kinds of it. They had to inject nutrients into him just to make sure he remained healthy. Then he'd tried M'gann's cooking.

It had all been out of politeness. He'd been fully prepared to find it awful, yet still choke it down. This was far from what actually happened.

"Well?" questioned M'gann anxiously. She'd never tried to make Earth food before and was extremely nervous to have an audience for her first attempt.

Robin, Wally, and Kaldur all looked at Superboy, preparing for the hot-headed teen to spit it out angrily. They were all very surprised when he actually swallowed the cookie.

"Not bad." He said simply, before stalking off to the training room.

A cheerful M'gann instantly started preparing more, as the others didn't have any objections to her food, either.

Once it was just Robin and M'gann, Robin placed his hand on her shoulder, effectively gaining her attention.

"Yes?"

Glancing over his shoulder to make sure they really were alone, he spoke quietly. "Say you'll cook more often; your food is the only food Superboy is actually willing to eat."

Her eyes widened in surprise, before she nodded seriously. She would definitely be sure to cook as often as possible, if that were the case.
