A/N: So, as promised, here is chapter 4 as an apology for taking so long to upload. It's super short, but it has some Dinah/Connor fluff. I hope you enjoy this chapter and I want to let you all know that chapter 6 is very much on a roll. Anyway, I've had some people ask me how Connor can have cuts and bruises if he's invulnerable. Well, as I told Night of the Rising Sun, "My thought is this. Superboy is a clone, but he is still developing. He doesn't have half the powers Superman has, so it's safe to assume he may get them at a later date. Besides, he was trying to not look suspicious by not getting hurt. So there you go, cuts and bruises through still developing powers and sheer force of will." Does that explain it well enough? Oh, congratulations to Night of the Rising Sun for correctly guessing what the something of great importance was. It will be revealed in the next chapter. Also, I'm super ecstatic because I got a review from the muse for this story! Go check out Kizmet's story, Nobody's Child. It's a guaranteed great read!

Trust and Privacy

Dinah smiled at how happy Connor was, it was just so impossible not to grin when a kid looked at you like that. Then she shook her head to clear her thoughts and said, "Connor would you mind stepping outside for a minute? I need to speak with Clark alone."

The teen just nodded his head complacently and moved to open the door, much too happy in his apparent acceptance to care that he was being excluded from something and being told what to do yet again. Clark raised an eyebrow at Dinah before stating, "You know, just having him step outside the office isn't going to stop him from listening in. He does have super hearing in case you've forgotten."

Dinah chuckled at the now confused look on the reporter's face. "Don't worry about it, he won't try anything. I trust him and he trusts me." She nodded to Connor and he smiled and responded in kind. Then he turned the knob and swung the door open. Dinah muttered to the teen, "We'll be out in a minute."

The last thing Clark heard and saw was Lois Lane, his colleague and girlfriend, beckon Connor over and say, "Are you alright there sweetie, what happened? Jimmy, go run and get the kid some ice for his jaw." Clark wondered just how much Lois would know by the end of her and Connor's little chat. Jimmy came back with a towel of ice for the boy and then Lois spoke gently, "You don't have to tell me if you don't want to, but I would really like to know how you got that nasty bruise." Then Dinah slowly clicked the door shut again and Clark Kent, the Man of Steel, was trapped once again with a glowering Black Canary.

A/N: So, what did you think? I know it's really short but it's where I wanted to end this chapter. I'd like to thank Night Of The Rising Sun for answering all of my weird, food-related questions and for asking some of her own back! So, to mix it up, let me know your most secret, or just plain disgusting, food crave. Oh, and the award for weirdest sandwich, because I had to give this person props, goes to shades of grey91 for liking a "turkey, cheese, jalapenos, hot cheetos (or doritos), lettuce and ranch sandwich." Well, I guess that's all for now. So until next time, happy reading!
