"You want to what?" Conner repeated and stared incredulously at Kara.
"I want you to lift up Sideswipe." Kara explained again. The red mech hadn't been fooled by Conner's eerie likeness to Jason, so he spotted him out pretty quick.
Conner looked up at Sideswipe, who was looking as patient as could be. "Is that even possible?" he asked dubiously. He'd heard talk of the robot beings and almost envied Jason; for his brother got to interact with them daily.
"Yes, it's very possible, though it may take a few tries to get it right completely. After this we'll work on heat vision." Kara said.
"But I don't have heat vision." Conner said sullenly.
"Trust me, you get angry enough and you will." Kara quipped.
"Maybe he can't 'Side's up because he's too scared." A new voice jeered.
Conner stiffened. Scared? He turned to glare over at a tall yellow mech that looked very much like Sideswipe. "I am not scared." He hissed.
The yellow mech smirked at him tauntingly. "Prove it then."
All doubt now gone from his mind, Conner went up to Sideswipe's pede and lifted it easily enough. Lifting the entire mech was a lot harder, but he did manage to lift Sideswipe completely off the ground for a few moments before putting him back down. He felt very pleased with himself and wanted had wanted nothing more than to see that smirk gone.
Conner looked over at the yellow mech, only to find the smirk still there and the other looking also…complacent. "Who are you anyway?" he asked frowning.
"Oh." Kara looked embarrassed. "This is Sunstreaker, he's Sideswipe's twin." She explained.
"You know, for someone who looks so much like Jason, you don't act very much like him." Sunstreaker taunted.
"Hn!" Conner grunted and looked away. He already knew Jason and him were very different personality wise. Well, maybe not so different for certain things, but if anything, he's admit, only to himself, that he thought he was a bit more like Alice.

Jason was just about to leave 'his' room, but not before peeking his head out when a cheery voice called his name. His 'stage' name.
"Superboy!"
Jason looked over his shoulder. 'Deep breaths, Jason.' He thought looking at the Martian girl. "Hello Megan."
"Hello Jason!" Megan said brightly.
Jason froze and turned completely around before glaring at her. "When did you hear that name?"
Megan shrank back. "Uh, I know I promised not to read your mind anymore, but you just felt so angry and I was worried, so I heard the name 'Jason' in your head and assumed it was the one you were telling everyone to call you." She explained nervously.
'Great, not even here a day and I'm already busted.' Jason thought. "No, my real name is Jason. Superboy's name is Conner."
"Then…who…" Megan looked clearly confused. "Are you another clone?"
Jason shook his head. "No, why would you think that?"
"Well, you look just like Su-Conner." Megan answered.
Jason smiled bitterly. "Well, I'm not a clone, I'm Superman's son."
Now Megan just looked plain shocked. "S-seriously?"
"I wouldn't lie about something like that." Jason replied and held his hand out, smiling. "May I truly introduce myself. I'm Jason White, Conner's brother."
Megan looked a bit dazed at the fact Conner and Jason even smiled alike and returned the handshake. "It's certainly interesting to meet you, Jason." She then looked concerned. "Where is Conner though?"
"Don't worry, he's fine." Jason answered. "I switched places with him so he could learn to control his powers. But it's supposed to be a secret since I want my big bro to get to know his family better; so don' tell anyone, got it?"
Megan nodded. "How did you get past security though?"
Jason smirked. "I look just like Conner, and we share DNA. But really, who pays attention to the little details to pick us apart?"
Megan reframed from mentioning one person. No need to freak Jason out after all.
