Chapter 11:
Third Person
Location: Mount Justice
"Why would Superboy have fought against the androids if he was working for whoever was controlling the androids," Green Lantern asked.
"What better way to avoid susition than to be leading in the fight against it," Martian Manhunter said.
"That made no sense," Flash said, and then turned to Superman, "The only reason you're pushing this so much is because you don't like the kid."
"It is a clone," Superman said, "One that disappeared every day before patrol, the android won't hurt him, and he was a part of Cadmus."
"Logically, Superman is correct in his suspense," Red Tornado said.
"He's wrong," Black Canary said.
"How can you be sure," Wonder Woman asked.
"Because he isn't a spy," Black Canary said, "Batman, you know this."
"It needs to be dealt with," Superman said.
"Conner...His name is Conner, not clone, not it-Stop acting like he isn't real."
"He's not," Superman roared.
~YOUNG JUSTICE~
Conner didn't say anything, as Robin closed the video feed. He just turned and ran.
"Conner wait," M'gann said, trying to go after him. Kaldur grabbed her arm and stopped her, but M'gann jerked away from him.
"Don't...just don't," M'gann said.
"M'gann, you shouldn't go if-" Kaldur started.
"If? If what?...If he's dangerous," M'gann said, "You know he isn't."
"The league has-" Kaldur tried, but this time was cut off by Artemis.
"Nothing...and it's not even the League. It's Superman, who is being unreasonable," Artemis said.
"I'm only trying to keep the team safe," Kaldur said.
"Conner is apart of this team," Artemis said, marching over to Kaldur.
"Easy, Arrows...Just because he's wrong, doesn't mean you can hit him," Wally said, zooming in-between the two.
"I will not-" Artemis said, but stopped when the League entered the room.
"Where is Conner," Black Canary asked.
"Why," Artemis asked.
"Please don't make this any harder," Black Canary said.
"He didn't do anything," M'gann said, and then turned to her uncle, "Uncle J'onn, please."
"Where is Superboy," Batman asked. The teamed looked at each other, and Kaldur saw Artemis shake her head.
"He was heading towards the hanger," Kaldur asked, looking away from the team.
"Kaldur," Artemis hissed, as Batman, Superman, and Black Canary went to the hanger.
"My father may be a criminal, but he protects his friends," Artemis said, giving Kaldur a disgusted look before heading to her room.
"I am sorry," Kaldur whispered.
~YOUNG JUSTICE~
Conner was a mess by the time he reached the hanger. One thought kept circulating through his mind. One thought that turn him from the indestructible teenage to a scared child.
PROTOCOL 27V3A:
ANY EXPERIMENTS THOUGHT TO BE
COMPROMISED MUST BE TERMINATED
...COMPROMISED MUST BE TERMINATED...
TERMINATED...TERMINATED...TERMINATED
Conner was barely calm i=enough to stand when Wolf and Sphere caught up with him. Sphere beeped and Conner's phone lit up.
WE MUST LEAVE NOW
Before Conner could replied, Sphere transformed into her sky bike form.
"He'll have them track me...I'll never be safe," Conner said, shaking. He looked so much like a child scared that the monster under his bed were about to get him. Only, his monster weren't make-belief and when coming to get him for real.
JUST AS YOU PROTECTED ME.
I WILL PROTECT YOU. BUT
YOU MUST TRUST ME FIRST.
PLEASE, COONER.
Wolf pushed Conner forward toward Sphere and then climbed on after.
"I do trust you," Conner said, climbing on.
