Superboy maybe wasn't the smartest guy when it came to social relations. Okay, so he definitely wasn't, but he knew enough to know that Robin and Kid Flash were best friends. Anyone could see that. It didn't take a detective to figure it out.

"Calm down, Superboy!" Robin exclaimed as the clone punched a hole in the door.

"Don't tell me to calm down!" He yelled, "You are thirteen years old! What the hell do you know?"

Robin decided not to point out that he was still technically older and more knowledgeable despite their 'age difference'. He was pretty much used to Superboy throwing a fit now and then so he tried to focus on helping his friend.

"Okay! Okay!" The Boy Wonder dodged a flying lamp with acrobatic skill, "I haven't told him though. I don't really know exactly what you're going through but he's my best friend and he deserves to hear the truth-from you."

Superboy just glared at the floor and when he looked up, Robin was nowhere to be found.

Superboy was starting to panic. He thought that being with Kid Flash would be amazing and perfect but now it seemed he was wrong. He saw how Wally acted around other people he liked and things just weren't matching up. He had no problem showing his affection for Megan or any other girls so why were they in a closet?

He opened his eyes and pulled away, "Stop."

"Wha..what?" Wally frowned, "What's wrong Supey?"

"This is wrong." He replied, trying so hard to keep what little cool he had, "I don't want to…hide…I've been hiding for too long."

"You don't understand anything!" Kid Flash groaned in frustration, "People will tear us apart out there!"

"I'd like to see them try." Superboy thought he meant literally tear them apart.

"No, I mean they won't let us be together. They'll hate us." Wally was just trying to get his…uhh Supey…to see his point of view.

Even in the dark, it wasn't hard to see the anger growing on Superboy's face. He didn't understand how KF could be so calm about it. He really didn't care what anyone thought of them…well with one exception.

"Will…Superman…hate us?" he asked.

Kid Flash considered this for a moment. It wasn't like he's witnessed any homophobia from Superman. On the other hand, he already had enough reason to not spend time with his clone. It might push him farther away and that would hurt Superboy a lot, right?

"Yes." Kid Flash sighed, "I'm sorry."

Robin saw a blur go past him in the hallway and then suddenly a few feet away, there was Kid Flash. Robin giggled and bounced over to his friend. He saw worry in his face for a split second before a grin plastered the older boy's face.

"I heard yelling." Wally shrugged, "I thought I'd make sure that everything was okay."

"Superboy's pretty upset." Robin said; eyes behind the mask narrowed towards his best friend.

"He was the one who broke half the kitchen in a fit of rage." Wally complained, "I don't see how he can be upset knowing Megan totally loves him and everyone thinks he's so cool and…whatever!"

"You should talk to him." He was starting to hate being in the middle of this mess.

"You seem to know what's going on," Wally jokingly put his arm around his friend, "Why don't you tell me what he said, Rob. Robby? Robin? Whatever your real name is!"

"Ask him yourself." Robin poked Wally's side.

"Oh come on! You're supposed to be my best friend! You can't hide secrets from me!" Kid Flash then had a 'hello Megan!' moment, "Oh…wait…you can."

Ever since they're discussion in the closet, Superboy was really on edge. He actually seemed to be more paranoid than ever before. This might not have bothered anyone except it was hard to be covert on their missions with an angst-filled clone storming around.

After nearly failing a mission involving The Joker and some blue lemonade that nearly destroyed the team, Batman decided it was time somebody dealt with whatever the problem may be. 'Somebody' meaning 'Superman', of course.

"You need to talk to him!" Batman tried once again to get Superman to pay attention to his son, "There's something going on with him and he needs your guidance. He needs his father!"

"You're probably a better father-figure than I could ever be." Superman responded stubbornly. They were in the Justice League headquarters because Batman had insisted there was an emergency.

"You're the one he looks up to. My approval means very little to him if he doesn't also have yours." Batman held his ground on the matter, "I can't help him with Super-related things you know."

"You're right." Was the defeated response, "As usual, you are annoyingly right."
