The Runaway

Chapter 2: Decision Made

As he started packing Conner though of a way that he could leave without anyone noticing. To a place that he could not be located or found. He couldn't stand being here in Mount Justice any longer. He could not stay where he was not wanted. His own Father ignored. He now knew that in order to find himself and figure out who he really was, he needed to leave and not come back.

He was grateful for everything that he had learned so far. Thanks to Batman and Black Canary. He knew though that he would have leave them a note explaining to them why he was doing this. As he was contemplating and packing he heard footsteps coming close to his bedroom. Quickly he hid everything and laid down on his bed.

There was a knock on his door.

"Supey are you coming down to eat?" it was Wally. "No not right now!", Conner said. "Come on M'gann is cooking. She's has a new recipe and wants us to try it out," Wally stated

Knowing that he would do anything for her he stood up and opened the door. Seeing Wally standing there smiling he walked out with him. As they headed to the dining area he kept hoping that he wouldn't act nervous. He hoped the others would not notice anything suspicious about him especially M'gann with her telepathic abilities.

In the dining table he saw Robin, Kaldur (Aqualad) and Artemis sitting on the right side of the table. He saw M'gann sitting on the left side with two empty chairs on either side of her . At both ends of the table were Canary and Red Tornado (who obviously didn't eat but he was probably just sitting there to make M'gann happy). His worries increased when M'gann stood up, a smile on her face and said, " Finally the we are all here."It was not the comment she made that made him nervous but her constant need to be inside his head and read his mind.

Half an hour later almost everyone was done eating and were just sitting around the table. Tired of sitting Conner stood up and excused himself, he knew that he needed to finish packing and planning. How would he make himself unrecognizable once he was gone so that he couldn't be found. He knew that he would definitely need to pack shirts without the S and shirts that were not his signature black as well.

Entering his bedroom he locked the door so that nobody would just walk in, like they were accustomed to doing. Conner took out his big duffle bag and continued to pack whatever meager belongings he had.

Another thing he had to think about was whether he would take wolf or Sphere seeing as though they were technically his. He basically adopted them in an attempt to be part of a family.

Taking them with him or not would be a hard decision because if he did take them they would so stick out like a sore thumb. As he finished packing he started to write the letter that he was leaving for his friends.

Almost everything was done when there was a knock on his door once again. He hid everything that was obvious and went to open the door. It was M'gann followed by Robin.

"Hey Buddy what going on we were wondering why you left the table so early?", Robin said. " Yeah I mean did you not like the dinner I made or something?" , asked M'gann in a sad and unconfident way that made Conner feel bad for hurting her feelings and mad at himself for making them suspicious.

Thinking on his feet Conner answered, "No M'gann the food was good I just wanted to be alone." Right after he said that he wanted to kick himself because just by looking at their faces he knew he said the wrong thing.

"Are you okay? I mean you know you can talk to us we are your friends I hope you know that right?" said Robin after a brief silence.

"Yeah you know we are here for you. We are family you know." added M'gann.

"Thanks guys. Look I'm fine just wanted to be alone you know. I'm just used to it what with being stuck in the pod for much of my life." Conner answered them.

"But thanks again ... I guess ... for caring", Conner continued awkwardly.

"Ok then" Robin said looking at M'gann and giving her a look then looking at Conner again. "we will leave you to rest.

They walked out and finally left him alone. He thought of what M'gann said about family. He thought to himself that he wasn't anybody's family because nobody really wanted him as part of a family. They had their own families. He was after all an orphaned clone whose "Parent" really didn't want him.

He waited until everyone was fast asleep it was three in the morning and since he really didn't need much sleep he was ok. He quietly took out the note he had written earlier and placed on his desk so that it could be found by his friends. Slowly he opened his bedroom door and quietly walked out.

As he left everything and everyone he knew and the only home he ever really knew he felt sad but he knew he needed to go. He walked in the shadows of the small harbor city to places unknown.

Please review and also give me some ideas of what you would like to see in the next chapters. If anyone would like to appear in this story let me know what kind of character you want to be that could cross Conner in his travels. Make up a name and type of person etc.

Thanks and I would like to have more than ten reviews for this story before I post the next chapter even if it's just a good job or hi. Much love Readnwritelover ;)
