In Which Time Travel is Discussed

Lex Luthor.

He didn't know how he had missed the fact that the man they had saved was Lex Luthor.

The others were explainable. According to Robin, who Connor had found was a good source for all information Superman related, Luthor really only got involved in fights against Superman in some way.

So the rest of Young Justice was explainable. Robin of course knew him right away, but Conner was starting to think that Robin had every Super villain's information memorized.

Robin was Batman's partner after all.

But, Robin had given him files and told him all about anything related to Superman. Lex Luthor had been one of the first thing Conner had learned about. Robin had said that Luthor might go after Conner once he found out about him, to get to Superman.

Conner had wondered briefly if it would have worked. Would Superman have come to save him in the end? Conner sighed and leaned against a rock his ever present scowl forcing it s way onto his face as he stared at Luthor.

He didn't like this. Time Travel? It was possible from the information that Conner had from the G-Gnomes but it was incredibly unlikely.

As Luthor shifted in place as he talked on the phone, Conner felt himself flinch. If Luther had a weapon on him, it would be easy for Luthor to attack Robin, who stood next to him paying more attention to his holo-glove than to the future villain.

He noticed Wally was standing nearby his eyes on the two as well. Kid Flash's usual smile was gone, a small frown replacing it as he stared over at the two seemingly ready to pull Robin away should Luthor turn hostile.

Luthor closed the phone and nodded to Robin.

"Why do you need Clark any way?" Luthor asked, "He's from a family of farmers, nothing special." Luthor's voice sounded fond as he said it, somehow making it sound not insulting.

But, there was something…

Luthor's heart had skipped a beat as he said it.

He was lying.

Conner frowned as he stared at Luthor. This Kent was special in some way. This should be obvious if Robin was so set on contacting him. Did that mean he was really an ally of the Leagues or Batman's in the future?

Robin didn't answer him but shut down the hologram screen of his glove to look at Luthor. Luthor who had been staring at the screen with undisguised curiosity just stared back. They both stared at each other for a moment as if they were trying to see something in the other, before Robin frowned.

"Like Kid Flash, said he is an Ally of ours in the future." Robin informed Luthor. His body did not giving any signs that he was lying but Robin was trained by Batman who the G-Gnomes had informed him could control his body to an incredible degree. Robin could have been taught to control his body while lying.

Luthor crossed his arms with a frown playing at his lips. "Do you have any proof that you even from the future?" Luthor asked staring at Robin. Robin stared up at him, the glare recognizable even behind the mask.

"Nothing that could inform you for sure." Robin answered after a moment. "Anything I could tell you about the future could in the very least create a time paradox. Anything I could tell you about this time period it is possible if unlikely that I discovered to try and fool you."

Kid Flash sped over to stand next Robin, "He's right, haven't you seen any movies?" Kid Flash stated crossing is arms. "If we're twenty years back in time then we don't exist. This means that if we give you too much information you could change something."

Kid Flash motioned with his arms the abnormity of the problem of that. "In the best case we cease to exist but in the worse case, time will cross in on itself creating a Black Hole and everything ceases to exist."

Luthor nodded the point of that, "But, I've clearly seen you already. Wouldn't time have already collapsed if that were true?" Luthor asked.

Kid Flash shared a look with Robin, and then both turned back to Luthor as one. "No, because it's possible that were are in a stable time loop." Kid Flash stated.

Kaldur frowned as he listened to them, "A staple time loop?"

Robin nodded, "What we're doing now has already happened and will always have happened."

Artemis nodded like she understood, "Like in Harry Potter?" she asked with a frown. Conner frowned in confusion, the same reaction as both Kaldur and Megan he noticed, but Robin and Kid Flashed both smiled and nodded.

"Or", Kid Flash pointed out, "we could be in an Alternate Universe as well as back in time."

"Not likely unless we created the universe by going through time," Robin stated with a frown, "this earth's history matches up with ours."

"What if it could be a mix of them?" Conner found himself speaking. Everyone turned to him. "Not yet staple times loop but not yet a paradox?"

Both Robin and Kid Flash frowned both of them seeming check the theory for flaws. "It would make sense," Robin stated as he pulled open his holo–glove screen once more to type began something down. "If memories were to be erased and all signs taken away than that would explain…" Robin started mumbling as he typed as Kid Flash stared over his shoulder.

Luther frowned when Robin mentioned erasing memories and turned and sat done on a rock sighing as he did so.

Conner frowned and looked up at the road, he could hear the sound of someone running, but it sounded much too fast to be normal.

And instant latter a Man was there but no one but Conner saw him appear.

The man stood at the top of the bridge and stared down at them. He looked familiar, dark hair and tall.

He looked like…

Superman.

(a/n So answers time! Conner refers to Clark as a man because... Well season one Clark doesn't look like a teenager. I always thought it was because Kryptonians grow super fast because of the sun. Conner doesn't know his age yet so he thinks of him as a man not a person who physically is two years younger than him.)
