He sees their panicked faces as he stands just within the lab.

"Superboy what are you doing? We've got to get out of here! Superboy!" Megan's voice is shrill, her eyes wide. When it becomes clear that the clone has no intention of leaving, that's when the team goes into action. Five bodies start forward, running, but to the Super teen, they're in slow motion, only Kid Flash seeming to get any closer.

Without even looking, he uses his fist to destroy the door's control panel. The last thing the clone sees of his team is of their shocked and frightened faces once a thick metal wall comes slamming down between them, locking them out; keeping them safe.

Moving towards the destructive machine at a leisurely pace, already the heat and radioactivity have begun to affect him. He grits his teeth through the blinding pain, the feel of his skin burning, bubbling, and peeling away. His insides feel as though they are being ripped from him, but he finally reaches his destination.

He begins to tear into the mechanism, yanking wires, smashing consoles and screens until an explosion throws him back. Fire twists angrily all around him, hot metal and concrete crumbling from the ceiling and walls. Explosions continue to jostle the building, tearing it down further.

When Superboy attempts to get up, he finds that he can't feel his body, the mind piercing pain having numbed him completely. It's then he knows that, he really is going to die. As he watches everything collapse around him, he notices that there is no sound, no feel of debris impacting with the ground. It's like he's in a dream.

Looking up through the cavernous hole in the ceiling, he sees the moon shining through, full and bright despite the flame and smoke reaching up towards it. There's a sense of déjà vu and he remembers another day he had seen the sight before. The day he broke out of Cadmus—that's right. According to his friends, it had been his birthday.

He smiles, remembering the day he had walked into the living room, only to find his friends jump out from their hiding spots in the kitchen and behind the couch, a group shout of 'Surprise!' sending his heart thundering. They had explained the occasion, having noticed his confused and shocked expression.

"We are celebrating the day of your birth. Just as the rest of us, it is only fitting that we, as your friends, commemorate the day that this team became a whole, and when you were brought into our lives." Kaldur enlightened, leading the clone further into the room with an arm around his shoulders.

"Congratulations Supey, you now are officially one year old." Robin and Wally's faces were plastered with large grins. Megan revealed a large white frosted cake, having hidden it behind two boxes of cereal; one blue and white candling flickering amongst a plateau of sugary sweetness. As the Martian girl carried it towards the large teen, the others began to sing…

"Happy birthday to you…"

Smoke enveloped the moon's luminescence, leaving only the bright orange flames to light the falling lab in the darkness.

"…happy birthday to you…"

The sound of screeching metal as it buckled sounded in the clone's ears. As blue eyes began to dim, they caught sight of the ceiling coming down in large portions, blocking out the night sky as they made their descent.

"Happy birthday dear Conner…"

Despite the smoke and ash choking him and burning his eyes, the teen smiled to himself. Closing his eyes, Superboy prepared for the inevitable feeling of being crushed, charming memories lulling his mind into a peaceful state…

…a crash and a split second of pain.

He wondered if that wish he made came true.

"…Happy birthday to yoooouuu."

"Blow out the candle and make a wish Birthday boy!"

He thinks it did, and he couldn't be happier.
