A/N: Sooo we get four episodes now? DC Spoils us

Tim really does steal Conner's shirts. It's his hobby.

Comic wise, I'm still in Countdown, which, sadly, DC Universe does not have. I got a week long trial, but I honestly think I'll cancel it.

Anyways, chapter done sooo… I'm gonna go watch the episodes now. Hm. I should really start finishing these before the next batch comes out.

Tim, arms crossed and frowning, shot Conner an unimpressed look.

Conner wasn't sure exactly what he'd done to deserve it.

"Conner Kon-El Kent, control your children!" Tim snapped.

Conner spluttered.

"Excuse you?"

Tim narrowed his eyes. "Your eldest child attacked my brother's ass with a towel and your youngest blasted your shirt off with lava then proceeded to check you out." Tim claimed before frowning. "Hm. Okay. Brion is no longer your kid, but, if he is, he gets his incestus tendencies from you."

"Incestus tendencies? The hell?" Conner repeated, offended.

Cassie and Bart exchanged looks.

"Supergirl." They both said in unison, backing Tim.

Conner huffed.

"Okay, look. I had the hots for a couple of the Supergirls, I'll admit. BUT!" Conner lifted a finger as the other three looked victorious, "Matrix wasn't related to me or Supes in any way, and neither was Linda Danvers!" Conner reminded them.

"You had a thing for Power Girl." Tim countered.

"He has a thing for woman that can dominate him." Cassie helpfully added.

"I hate all of you." Conner whined.

"I like how Dick had a shirt ready for you though, C.K." Bart snickered.

"Conner does have a ridiculous habit of losing shirts." Tim agreed.

Conner huffed.

"You mean you steal them, wonder brat." Conner accused.

Tim whistled innocently and adamantly avoided meeting anyone's eyes for the next several minutes.

Conner and Tim exchanged looks.

"Batman would win." Both said in unison.

Cassie was surprised.

"You aren't going to even think of backing Superman, Conner?" She said incredulously.

"Cassie, Batman and Superman have clashed multiple times in a dozen different realities, and Batman usually comes out on top." Conner told her. "Besides, I like Bats more than Supes."

"You do?" Bart said, eyebrows raised.

"Batman's never treated me any different. Although, he did refer to me as 'the Clone', like twice I think?" Conner scratched the back of his head. "Me and Supes, though? Like, I can never tell where I stand with him and it's weird and he literally pawned me off to his parents so I honestly don't know what to think of him half the time."

"So, are we all gonna ignore the part where Vandal and Darkseid have literally been working together for thousands of years and Nabu is actually Savage's kid?" Bart looked around.

Tim was stuffing his face with popcorn.

"Nope. Not touching that with a ten foot pole. Nope, nope."

Conner feigned deafness.

Cassie just shrugged, not bothering with the theatrics.

"Why is your brother so dramatic?" Conner asked.

"He was raised by the Batman." Tim said in all honesty.

Bart was still snorting about 'hot lava' over and over again.

"Conner, your son is as arrogant as you are in the looks department." Cassie told her ex.

To this, Conner shrugged and began to flex.

"Hey, you got it, you flaunt it."

"... I'm not sure if I hate Savage for that one or not." Tim admitted as they watched the man execute his own daughter. At the incredulous looks he got, Tim felt the need to defend himself. "What! She was clearly losing it, like it or not. Hell, I'm surprised Savage isn't losing it. The human mind isn't made to last that long."

Conner looked uncomfortable.

"I still don't like the idea. I mean, I… Still don't know if I can age properly. I was age locked at 16 for years."

Tim blanched. The idea of Conner staying young forever while the rest of them withered with age and dementia was downright horrifying.

"You and Livewire would get along." Bart told Conner bluntly.

"You all make me sound like some kind of deviant." Conner rolled his eyes.

"Well, there was that one time at Hiro's place that I caught you in the tu-" Tim began.

Conner leapt halfway across the run, landed on top of the other teen, and covered his mouth while glaring furiously.

"Dude. No. Mention that, and Cassie, Starfire, and Supergirl will murder me!" Conner hissed.

Cassie's wip cracked, lightning hissing from it. Conner froze.

"Oh, now I'm interested, Superboy."

"Er… Play the video!" Conner yelled.

Bart, deciding to have mercy, did just that.

Smug looks were shot at Conner as his absence was explained as M'gann demanding more of his time.

"Oh shut up. I'm sure there's an important reason for it."

Tim bit his lip. As much as he hated to admit it… Something did seem off. And, surprisingly, it was not the Supermartian front. Hm.

"This is no longer a kids show." Bart whistled.

"What clued you in? The incessant blood, the sex, the stripper names?" Cassie asked.

"Black lightning." Bart shrugged.

"We should get Cheshire something nice." Conner frowned at the screen.

"Team mom." Cassie singed.

Conner glared.

"Just cause I have a heart does not- okay, you know what, fuck it. I'm the mom." Conner declared.

The other three cheered.

"Finally! You're accepting reality!" Tim clapped.

Poor, poor child. He had no idea what he'd unleashed.

"First order of business: You're eating three squared meals a day, can't use coffee as a supplement, and I will personally TTK you to the bed all night long until you get a solid ten hours of sleep minimum."

Tim's jaw dropped.

"Wha- you cannot be serious Kon!"

"Did I stutter?" The Kryptonian asked theoretically.

"I have work! I refuse!" Tim told him bluntly. "And besides, coffee is a perfect meal! It's got all the things you need! Caffeine, sugar, ener-"

Conner raised a finger to his lips, silencing him. Tim froze.

"Shh. Just let me take care of you for once, sheesh."

Tim turned red again.

"Cissie!" All four friends cheered.

"I miss her. Like, so, so much." Bart said.

Cassie frowned.

"If you miss her, why don't you come visit her?"

Bart honestly looked like he hadn't thought of it. Cassie huffed.

"I stay away because I know I'd try to get her back into heroing and i have a little shame in admitting it but its the truth." Conner confessed.

"My life is crazy. Period." Tim said, though he did regret not having spoken to Cissie in so long. And Anita. And Greta. And half a dozen other people he'd lost touch with over the years.

Cassie could not believe what she'd just witnessed. Groaning in embarrassment, she hid her face from the others.

"Did Wonder Woman really ask Tim with a straight face if he was okay with lying?" Bart was literally rolling on the floor.

"Oh god! And I thought she was the smart one!" Conner was laughing so hard a few tears were escaping his eyelids.

"I do not lie that much!" Tim huffed.

Conner shot him an incredulous look.

"Dude. Tim. My man. You can lie to Batman." Conner reminded. "Hell, you can lie to me and I can literally focus in on your heartbeat from the other side of the planet." Conner continued.

Bart shot up.

"You can? Since when?"

Conner decided to not dignify that one with an answer.

"Hey, its Lobo!" Bart cheered.

Cassie and Conner both shot glared at Tim.

Tim sighed.

"You… You two still aren't over the time I called Lobo our strongest member, are you?"

The glares said it all.

"I KNEW THE VIDEO GAME GOGGLES WERE SUSPICIOUS!" Bart yelled before looking around. Literally no one looked surprised.

"Granny Goodness, at it again… Can I punch her? I really, really want to punch her." Cassie said.

"I'll set the trap, you pummel away," Tim told her.

"Oh, sweetie, there's a reason I love you best."

"I thought you loved me best?" Conner gripped his chest as if wounded.

"You've been replaced." Cassie said mercilessly, draping herself over Tim.

Conner pretended to gag. Bart literally did.

"I suppose we aren't commenting on Will/Artemis either?"

Bart was hit by at least a dozen pillows.

"Congrats on the little bro." Tim nudged Conner.

"As long as its Jon Samuel Kent and not Lane Kent, I'm good." Conner shrugged. "I, like, have literally been waiting years for this."

Bart frowned.

"Lane Kent wasn't that bad, was he?"

Conner shot him an incredulous look.

"Bart, my older brother literally wiped out every metahuman in existence in my own time then nearly killed everyone in our time with an army of mind wiped Superboys drawn out through time and space. He was psycho."

Tim decided not to comment that his future self had come back to kill Samuel Kent, not Lane Kent. Then again, considered how messed up the timelines were, his future self might very well have hit the wrong goddamn timeline by mistake.

"If the Light comes anywhere near my dad…" Bart crunched his knuckles, eyes narrowed. "I'll show them why I was able to contain the entire Speedforce in myself."

"I'll help." Conner told him.

"We'll all help." Tim added.

"And that," Tim told Conner and Cassie bluntly, "is why I said Lobo was our heavy hitter for those few months he was de aged and a member of Young Justice."

Conner grumbled.

"The other me doesn't even have Telekinesis. Totally not a fair assessment."

"Lobo can go toe to toe with Superman. Not budging." Tim said unrepentantly.
