When Connor first met Kaldur, Wally and Robin, he'd told them that he could read, write, and knows the names of things. Obviously it was a pretty concise summary of his abilities. Counting, for example was another thing he could do. Clearly he was not the only one.

The team was split up, the mind link was down, their only exit blocked, and Connor's shirt was toast 20 minutes ago. He'd been paired with Robin to watch his back while the hacker got into the system, but hey, you know what they say about the best laid plans. Connor actually didn't know what they say, but he heard Wally use that phrase one time.

"Alright," Robin's voice was low and even with no detectable signs of panic. Surprisingly, this helped Connor's nerves. "I'll take the ones on the right, you take the ones on the left."

"There's three times as many on the left," Connor deadpanned.

"I know," Robin laughed, "I can count."

Sure, the clone was mostly invincible, but he'd already been in a bad mood for 20 minutes now and this wasn't helping.

"Just don't lose the pants," the hacker grinned, offering a last piece of advice before disappearing into a mess of noise and gunfire.


"So what was the high of everybody's day?" Dinah had asked the team, upon taking over as her shift as den mother.

"Oh!" Wally piped up, raising his hand, "I ate McDonald's today!"

"O..kay…anyone else?"

The six teens weren't even talking on the mind link, they really were just quiet. A bit tired. Definitely not in the mood for a 'casual group sharing session'.

"So..what was the low?"

When nobody else felt like sharing, Robin said,"I ate McDonald's today."

Yeah, Connor had to agree with that one. Earlier he had been dragged to the McDonalds with Wally and Robin. Long story short, they ordered him a Happy Meal. When asked if they wanted a boy toy, one of them had said, "Nah, we already got one of those," which cued muffled laughter.

So Connor had ended up with a Hello Kitty keychain and a mental note to Google 'boy toy'. He was pretty sure something there had 'gone over his head' so to speak.


Robin and Wally were arguing. Again.

This one definitely seemed like the dumbest fight yet, though. Seriously, even if he wasn't aware of this topic (which is nowhere as big of a deal and they were making it seem), he could just Google it. Connor really liked Google.

"Well someone has to tell Connor about the birds and the bees!" Wally insisted.

"Why is that MY job?!"

"Cause of the thing with the lady and the building with the bomb and everything, you've like, seen stuff!"

"That's ridiculous! And besides, Cadmus probably put a bunch of information in his brain about it already!"

Connor had never seen Robin so defensive before.

"Connor!" Wally called his attention, "What do you know about the 'birds and the bees'?!"

"They're disappearing at an alarming rate."


Anyone catch the reference to 'Robin on the News'? It will make more sense if you read it, with the whole 'lady in the building with the bomb and everything', lmao.
