Chapter 98: Confrontation
Clark heard the people cheering as he appeared above New York. He could hear them whispering about him and praising him, he blushed slightly as he heard one woman remarking about how handsome he was. He ignored them and made his way toward Titans Tower. Conner had sounded quite desperate on the phone, and Clark was worried something terrible had happened to the boy.
He found the tower and landed on the roof. A door appeared with a lock, he entered the code and walked in. "Conner?!" He called out.
Conner appeared in a flash in front of him. "Clark?" The boy replied. "What are you doing here?
"You called saying you needed help, so I came." Clark said.
Conner raised an eyebrow. "I didn't call you."
Clark frowned, he pulled out his phone and got into the call logs and then showed the screen to Conner. "It says right there that you did."
Conner frowned as well and pulled out his own phone, he got up his call logs and showed them to Clark. "That shows you I didn't."
"So, are you saying that you didn't call me, but I had a conversation with you?" Clark asked confused.
Conner's eyes narrowed. "I think I know what this might be." The boy turned around and ran down the stairs, Clark followed him confused.
Conner ran to the computer and began hammering away at the keys, eventually something came up on the screen.
"What's that?" Clark asked, all he saw was a list of numbers and digits.
"It's a look at the cellphone data for your phone and mine. Bruce showed me how to access it." Conner said.
Clark snorted, of course Bruce knew how to do this. "Okay and what's it showing?" Clark asked.
"It's not showing any call from me to you, and it's not showing that the phone system was hacked." Conner said.
"So, did I imagine that call?" Clark asked, it might be possible, after all, he had imagined having a full-fledged conversation with Lois the other day.
"I…I don't know, maybe." Conner said, looking back at him.
Clark laughed. "I guess so. But you are alright?"
Conner smiled. "I am."
"Good." Clark said, making as if to go back up the stairs to fly away.
"Do you want to stay for a bit?" Conner asked. "We could watch a movie or something?"
Clark was about to say not, but then remembered that he didn't actually have anything to do today, so he smiled and said. "Yeah, I don't see why not."
Conner smiled. "Ah, good, I hoped you'd say that." Clark frowned at the tone that Conner took and then exclaimed when Conner changed.
A short man with blonde hair and a cigarette in his mouth stood where Conner once stood.
"Constantine?" Clark exclaimed. "What are you doing here?"
Constantine grinned. "Getting revenge."
