Annemarie cowered against the side walk. Conner walked over to the little girl and held out his hand. He looked back at Megan and said, "Call an ambulance. The little boy's been injured. Then contact the League. I think Quail's dead…"
Megan nodded and contacted an ambulance. Conner looked back at the little girl. She looked around, as if looking for something. She ran over to her aunt and shook her.
"Auntie Bella?" she choked. "Aunty Bella! AUNTY BELLA!"
Conner felt a stinging pain in his heart. It wasn't disappointment, like what Conner felt when Clark ignored him. It was grief, a pure sadness that settled in his chest like a stone weight. He walked over to her and said, "Hello little lady. I'm Conner…what's your name?"
He bent down to look her in the eyes. Annemarie looked at him and wept, "Aunty Bella go bye-bye?"
Conner sighed and put a hand ever so lightly on her tiny shoulder. She looked at him and started to weep. Annemarie realized something, if Aunty Bella was gone, that meant Mommy and Daddy and Timmy were gone as well. The little girl ran over to where her brother lay. Conner got up and followed her.
"Leo?"
"…Anniebear?"
Leo's voice came hoarsely from him. He was in pain and Annemarie could see it.
"Oh Leo! I sorry," she cried. "I shouldn'a followed. I-I-I sorry Leo!"
Leo gave his sister the faintest smile Conner had ever seen. He closed his eyes as Conner heard the wails of sirens. Annemarie got up and started to run. Conner got to his feet and was about to follow her when Miss M stopped him. The Martian pointed to road. There was the ambulance…and Superman. The last person Conner wanted to see right then. He frowned and said, "Just tell them there was a fire and the kid got burned. I've gotta find the girl."
"Superboy!" another voice called.
Black Canary ran over to them. She looked to see Quail dead on the ground, clutching her nephew. Black Canary looked to Conner and he said, "I need to leave. I need—"
"Do you realize what you've done?" Superman demanded. "If you hadn't gone after that carjacker—"
"I would've never seen Quail's niece," Superboy interjected. "Or that the carjackers we were chasing are the ones who killed Quail's sister and Quail. Now if you don't mind I'm going to find the little girl and bring her back where she belongs."
"And where's that?"
"Home."
Conner turned away from Superman and took off after the small girl. Superman growled, "Difficult clone."
Black Canary felt some aggravation towards Superman, but Batman told her not to mention it to him. Miss M looked at Canary and asked, "Can I go with the little boy?"
Canary nodded and looked around. She couldn't bring herself to look at Quail or the baby. She looked at Batman, tears in her eyes.
"Are you crying?" he asked.
"Yes," Canary replied bitterly. "I want to smack Clark across the face. Conner's doing the right thing by going after her isn't he?"
"Which her?"
"The little her. The little girl."
Batman pondered this and said, "Depends on your view, but yes. Most people would consider that the right thing to do."
Black Canary turned away and groaned, "Men."
