Superboy had mostly returned to his normal self, only occasionally angry and socially confused. He did daydream about Black Canary every now and then, and he looked forward to training sessions even more than he had prior. Although she had told the clone he could come talk to her whenever he needed, he felt a little nervous about doing so. What would he talk about? He felt it would be obvious that he'd only wanted to see her.
He was a little less of a mess when it came to seeing her now. He still felt a strange feeling in his stomach (which the internet had told him was called "butterflies"), but he stopped sweating and stumbling over his words. He couldn't help but feel a little weak in the knees when she smiled at him, and when she touched him, well, that was a whole other type of feeling.
Conner was on his way to his room for the night when she crept back into his thoughts. He hadn't seen her today but he knew she was here, Robin had been scheduled to train with her today. He knew she might still be here, as sometimes she would use the showers at Mount Justice before departing. Some days she would even chat with red tornado before going home (about what, he couldn't imagine).
The boy of steel was almost to his room when his super hearing caused him to turn his head. He'd picked up a rather soothing sound and tried to listen closer. Even with his enhanced hearing, all he could make out was a voice, but not what is was saying. It didn't quite sound like they were talking to anyone, and there was a background noise he couldn't quite make out. Not knowing what else to do, he decided to investigate.
Silently making his way down the hall, Superboy followed the voice and as he got closer to the source, it became more clear.
"Still we're often told, seek and ye shall find."
It was definitely a woman's voice, and she was, singing?
"So I'm going to seek a certain lad I've had, in mind."
Superboy rounded a corner, being drawn into the beautiful voice. He'd never really been one to listen to music, but he felt so relaxed and enchanted by the voice. He was determined to find where it was coming from.
"Looking everywhere, haven't found him yet."
The voice sounded familiar, and the way it made him feel should have been his first clue to who it belonged too.
"He's the big affair I cannot forget."
It had never crossed Superboy's mind that Black Canary would make such a good singer. He felt as though he was in a trance, as he kept following the sound of her song.
"Only man I ever think of with regret."
Superboy stopped dead in his tracks when he realized where the voice had brought him. He was standing outside the doorway of the large bathroom that connected to the gym. It all clicked to him at once. The background noise he heard was of the shower running.
"I'd like to add his initials to my monogram."
Conner felt an internal struggle as he stood in front of those doors. Should he go in? His judgement told him no, that would be way out of line and borderline creepy.
"Tell me where is the shepherd for this lost lamb."
But another part of him yearned to push open the doors and seek out his….his mentor? No, she was more than that. He didn't know a word for it, but he knew she was more than just an instructor. He went against his judgment and slipped inside.
"There's a somebody I'm longing to see."
Superboy shut the door softly behind him and looked around in the bathroom. On his right, the stalls and urinals. On his left, sinks and gym lockers. Straight ahead were the showers, and all he could see was steam emanating from within.
"I hope that he, turns out to be."
Conner cautiously approached the showers, being sure not to make any sort of noise or other indication that he was there. He knew this was wrong but he couldn't resist the urge. He reached the showers and peered around the wall into the steam filled room. He could only make out her form at first.
"Someone who'll watch over me."
Superboy was in awe. His ears full of her beautiful voice and his eyes taking in her delectable body, his senses were overwhelmed by her, and he only wanted more. He wanted to run his fingers over every part of her body, just touching her and feeling her.
"I'm a little lamb who's lost in the woods."
She ran her fingers through her soaking hair, tipping her head back to let the water run through it. Superboy couldn't believe how she still managed to look so majestic and beautiful even with her eyes closed and water running down her face. Her skin had never looked so soft.
"I know I could, always be good."
Conner let his eyes wander lower, down past her neck and over her breasts, tracing the curves of her body. He imagined doing the same with his hands, beginning to feel a familiar feeling in his pants. He'd never felt so much pleasure.
"To one who'll watch over me."
Noticing she was rinsing and most likely almost finished with her shower, Conner slipped back out of the bathroom and hastily headed towards his room. This was even better than the dream he'd had. He felt so close to Black Canary and wanted to bridge the gap that kept them apart. He wanted to be in that shower with her, devoid of all his clothes and holding her dripping body close to his.
He found himself thinking of her song as well. If she wanted someone to watch over her, he would do so. He was perfectly suited to protect her. If that's what she needed, look no further.
After all, he had quite literally done just that.
So whaddya think? I'm not sure if this qualifies as a "song fic" but whatever. Reviews motivate me to add more so if ya like it then let me know! Favorite and follow blah blah blah and please let me know if there are grammar mistakes. Its not rude its helpful ;)
