Chapter 2

Batman ushered the rest of the team to do a training simulation. The two super kids stood awkwardly for a minute, Superboy spoke first.

"So you're his daughter?"

"Yes."

"So I guess his isn't opposed to kids in general, just me," he said flatly. Caelyn wanted respond with a resounding no, but instead she took a minute to think.

"It's not you, it is the situation. He will come around and in the meantime I'd like to get to know my brother."

Superboy stared blankly for a moment, not sure what to think. In the short time he's been on this earth he had learned to be angry and skeptical, but there was something about this girl. Something told him that even if Superman never accepted him that he would still have family. He couldn't pass that up.

"Okay," he said with a smile.

"Cool," she said reaching up to her blond hair and removing the wig, she revealed light brown locks. Superboy raised an eyebrow.

"It's part of my secret identity," she said in an excited whisper as she reached into a secret pocket and pulled out a pair of black rimmed glasses and put them on.

"I guess I should introduce myself. My name is Caelyn Lane Kent," she said extending her hand.

"They call me… um Superboy," he said nervously. He felt awkward that he didn't have a name.

Caelyn realized as soon as she said her full name that she may not be approaching this the right way. She thought quickly of how she could recover.

"Connor," she said.

"What?'"

"How about Connor? Connor Kent, it has a certain ring to it doesn't it?

"Connor," he tried it out. "Yeah, okay."

With a smile on his face he extended his hand, "hi, I'm Connor." They shook hands.

Caelyn floated in the air with her hands behind her head as her brother fell to the ground again.

"Connor, try to relax," she coaxed trying to figure a way to help him. She could tell Connor was frustrated. He wanted to learn how to fly, and while Caelyn could fly, she wasn't sure how to translate her abilities. Frankly she was getting frustrated too. It had been nearly a month and still her dad was trying everything to avoid Connor and by extension her. He was working and rescuing way more. She wondered just how long he could keep it up.

"This is hopeless. I can't do it," he said letting his fist sink into the wall and leaving a sizable hole. Wally, who was walking through the hall at the time, poked his head through and smiled.

"So I guess flying lessons are going well." Connor just growled in response and Kid Flash moved on quickly.

"You tried, but I just can't," he said calmer this time.

"You just need more help," she said standing in front of him.

"I need his help." He frowned and she nodded sadly.

"Listen, I have to go, but I will talk to him, and then I will be back to spend the weekend," she said grabbing her backpack.

Caelyn left Connor in the training room and made her way to the zeta tubes. Robin caught her as she passed the kitchen.

"Hey Supergirl."

"Hi Robin." The two thirteen year olds used their hero identities, both forbidden to tell who they really were.

"So how's it going?" he asked. Caelyn rolled her eyes in response.

"He is just so stubborn. I know I did the right thing. Connor needed to know that he had support, but I'm just not sure how this is going to turn out anymore. He barely talks to me. Mom is getting suspicious. I have no idea how she will react. I'm just worried. I got a brother, but at what cost? Does it even out if both my parents are going to hate me. It is just so much pressure."

"Well try to stay whelmed. It takes a lot of guts to blackmail Superman," he said with a chuckle.

She let out a huff. "Thanks for that," she said.

He stopped walking, grabbed her shoulders and turned her to face him. He looked her in the eyes tilting his glasses down slightly to reveal his brilliant blue eyes.

"If it means anything, I think you did the right thing too."
