Clark had never been so terrified of one "being" in his life, as he was right now. He thought his mother was scary on a bad day. He thought Lois was scary on a good one. He was scared whenever Batman starts laughing out of the blue. But having a pissed off shape shifting Alien, who is currently dating his clone, raging at "him" like everything was "his" fault, made him almost wet himself. It was like the one time he accidently ate John's Oreo Cookies, but M'ggan's weakness wasn't a cookie, it was Conner.
Conner could not help but watch on in silence. Ma looked over at Pa, giving him that "eye" of, "you better fess up to this old man and get "my" son out of it". Pa swallowed hard. Bruce leaned back, pulling out a cellphone, ready to record the moment, for future blackmail purposes. Alfred took a rolled up newspaper and smacked the back of his head.
"What!? It's funny?"
M'ggan quickly turned her head and narrowed her eyes at Bruce, who quickly lowered his cell and turned away. Bruce could now feel the fear Clark was feeling. The woman was pissed. Her stair didn't last long, before returning it back to Clark.
"So what happened?"
Clark tried to talk again, but M'ggan always had "that" look to her when it came to him, more so when she found out that Clark Kent was Superman. She assumed the elderly people sitting next to Conner, were possibly his grandparents that he was going to get to know. She couldn't figure out way Bruce Wayne or his Butler was here, but she mainly ignored them for the moment.
"Well, you see, things were going well…as I was trying to explain on the flight over, but you kept getting madder by the moment…so…"
Pa cleared his throat.
"Miss, it wasn't Clark's fault, this time around."
Bruce had to hide his smile at that comment. Alfred tightened his grip on the paper, making Bruce lose that smile. M'ggan looked over at the older man.
"How so?"
Pa sighed, glancing over at Conner. The forced grown teen smiled at him. His skin still to pale for everyone's liking.
"I judged the boy to harshly, I never really gave him a chance. All I saw was someone else, not Conner. Because of that, I let my anger take over and I said things I shouldn't have said. It's my fault my boy here ended up the way he did…"
Conner glanced over at M'ggan, he let his mind do the talking.
"Please go easy on the guy, he's already beating himself up as it is. Besides, it's an improvement right? I'm getting to know my family."
M'ggan crossed her arms, reading Conner's mind and witnessing his memories. She quickly realized that Conner was a lot more broken up then she originally thought.
"Your leg got impaled!"
She yelled that out loud before running over to Conner, babying once again. Conner did heal, as per his blood let him heal faster. Just there still was shards in his body that was hindering his recovery speed.
The yell scared Ma and Pa a bit, before the two looked at each other, then back at Clark.
Clark relaxed, happy that he wasn't the fit of M'ggan's rage and his parents curiosity.
"Megan here is John's Niece from Mars…"
Ma placed her fingers over her mouth, smiling a bit.
"Oh, I know Mr. Manhunter. He's quite wonderful, he comes every year to our Christmas celebration. Our pet cat loves him."
M'ggan, laid down on the bed with Conner, petting his head. Conner, loving the attention, leaned into Megan's shoulder, almost drifting off to sleep. M'ggan relaxed a bit, smiling at Ma.
"My Uncle told me. He really enjoys being invited. Thank you for looking after him."
"Thank you for looking after our Conner."
Pa looked at the girl, his eyes heavy.
"So you can read minds too….that's how you were able to find out about his leg…"
"Only because Conner let me, I don't go into anyone's mind like I did the first time. At the time, Earth customs were new to me…"
Pa glanced away, but M'ggan smiled.
"It's alright really. I saw everything, Conner let me know that everything is alright now….and I'm sorry if I was scary…just the Big Guy over there and I kinda don't get along."
Pa lowered his head, Clark did the same thing. Ma giggled.
"He learned it from his father here. But I think it's been established by now, there is no more ill feelings."
Bruce stood up, ready to leave the area. M'ggan looked over at the man.
"And I still have no idea why you are here…"
Bruce glanced over at M'ggan.
"The less you know, the better…tend to your boyfriend while I find a faster cure…"
M'ggan looked at the man, before her jaw dropped.
"OH MY GOD…your voice…YOU ARE the…the…"
Conner laughed at that.
"Bruce, I think you broke my girlfriend…."
Ma giggled. Pa started scratching his nose and Clark was looking away from a glaring Bruce.
"We know dear, we know…"
Bruce rolled his eyes.
"YOUR BATMAN!"
Robin couldn't help but smile as he saw Nightwing walk out of the Bathroom.
"Ah, what's the matter? Batman too much for you to handle."
"Oh haha, little wing. I'd rather be in the Black and Blues, while giving people the black and blue…."
A ping was heard and Nightwing looked at his com. device.
"Nightwing, what the stich?"
Artemis's voice sounded rather board on the other end. Robin's eyes lit up when he heard it.
"Hey big sis, what's up?"
Artemis giggled.
"Hey little bro! Well, just dropping you guys a line and letting you know Megan went off with, I think Conner's father. Something happened I take it and Conner wants her there. He's such a baby!"
Both Nightwing and Robin glanced at each other. An uneasy feeling fell between the two.
"We'll look in on it. Nightwing Out!"
"Robin Out!"
"Art Out!"
Nightwing quickly called the Batcave, which was redirected to the Watch Tower. A familiar voice broke out, causing both boy's to roll their eyes.
"Blue Beatle, at your service. Batman is out by the way, leaving me and Booster in charge."
"Yeah, so you Brats listen to your elders while the Bat's away."
"Booster…."
"What man! Got to let these kids know who's boss over Gotham while Daddy Bat's is out of town."
Robin started to move his hand around in a lude gesture of "jacking off". Nightwing tried to frown at what he was doing, but couldn't help but break a smile.
"My god, will you do go get Married already, it's legal in a couple of states already."
"Oi, shut up small fry! BB and I are tight, but not that tight…"
"Booster, will you please STOP TALKING."
Nightwing broke into a fit of laughter before taking control of the conversation.
"Well, if Batman left Gotham to the two of you, then we have nothing to worry about. Just when you get in contact, I want to know what Superman might be up too…considering I think the two are working together on the same problem."
Booster shot out.
"Oh you have no idea. BB and I are watching the live feed and it's like those TV Dramas. The characters are quite entertaining. I'm betting the green chick will murder Super Sr."
A giggle escaped the two boys. Beatle let out a heavy sigh on the other end.
"Well, Robin and I are headed out for the night, just wanted to make sure things didn't SNAFU."
"Alright, you two have a safe night. Remember, if you need anything just give us a call."
"Right OH, Nightwing and Robin out!"
With a click, both teens looked at each other.
"Dick….is it really a good idea to….I don't know…leave Booster and Beatle to watch over Gotham….I mean, Booster's too nice of a guy and I wouldn't want to feel responsible to making the guy, I don't know, EMO sad over the situation."
"Please, they are both adults and Ted's got everything he needs. He's almost like Bruce, but without the sob story."
Robin leaned on the door frame.
"Ouch. I'm telling dad…"
"Don't you dare!"
Nightwing pulled out his grappling hook, firing off to the same building he jumped out of the night before and failed miserably. Robin sighed, before joining his crime fighting brother on the other building.
"So where to now? One-who-sucks-at-being-Batman?"
Nightwing made his way over to the ledge and looked out around the area, he eyed Robin with a smile.
"I have an idea! Why not play a game on who can catch the most criminals in two hours? Meet back here at the end of it?"
"I don't know…I mean, Nightwing, haven't you felt off since being here?"
"I'm telling you, you are just home sick, there's nothing to worry about."
Nightwing came up and rested a hand on the boy's head. Robin glanced up, still not buying what Nightwing was trying to sell.
"I'm not just homesick….I've "felt" something watching us since last night. I've felt it follow us around town too. I just don't want to go around Metropolises alone…."
Nightwing rested his hands on his hips, thinking.
"Alright. If you don't want to go it alone here, I understand. How about we just find what's bugging you instead?"
Robin narrowed his eyes.
"I'm not saying I'm scared or anything…"
Nightwing smiled, roughing up the boys hair.
"Right Little Wing, wasn't saying you were….come on, let's get going. Don't want Superman think we are slacking now do we?"
Robin pouted.
"Please, the only slacker I know, "IS" Superman."
The two laughed. Their fun was quickly silenced, when a scream broke out in the ally way below. They quickly jumped into action.
"Man it's never a dull night…Not even in a city like this."
"Live and learn Little Wing, live and learn."
The two jumped towards the scream, Nightwing jumping far ahead of Robin. He parkored down the side of a building, landing near the area where he heard the scream. Robin looked down from his perch on top of the building.
The older teen looked around with his eyes, night vision in full use. He saw nothing, but the night vision was picking up a large amount of bugs.
"Nothing down here Little Wing? See anything up there?"
Nightwing glanced up where he last saw Robin. He swallowed hard when he didn't get a response.
"Robin?"
Nightwing's heart rate started to speed up. He quickly made his way up the fire escape, making his way back up to the roof. Nightwing activated his night vision again. He was getting nothing, only the bugs of the area.
A pit was starting to grow in his stomach. Where was Robin?
Nightwing quickly turned again, towards the direction of another scream. It was the same one he had heard just moments ago. The teen followed the noise, using the echo location built into his eye gear. He made his way down to the darker side of Metropolis. The scream came down from an open man hole. He scanned the area again, nothing….nothing but bugs. The same bugs he saw at the first site, then looking for Jason. Now here.
He scanned again, making sure the area was clear. Nightwing went to his gauntlet, grabbing a small device and clicking it. On his mask, a red light appeared with the "R" blinking. He sighed in relief. It meant that Robin was still alive and that he was underground.
Without wasting any more time, Nightwing jumped down to the ground level, before making his way down the manhole. When he reached the sewer, he covered his nose. The smell was almost unbearable. Be it Gotham did have bad air quality from time to time, it at least still had its good days.
He made his way down the musky tunnel, listening to anything as he got closer. He could hear voices. A smart mouthed one made him crack a smile.
"Let me go…Let me go, Please?"
A roar made Nightwing lose that smile and almost made him quake in the knees.
"For the last TIME, WHERE IS BATMAN!"
The boy's voice cracked, but not in the way Nightwing expected him to.
"Aha, jokes on you, Batman's out of town. "
The roar escaped from the yelling monsters.
"I've waited years for my revenge and NOW he shows. Don't lie to me you little SHIT!"
A pained screamed escaped Robin's mouth. Nightwing could hear things cracking and he prayed it wasn't any bones. He couldn't stay in the shadows anymore. Nightwing came charging in, ready to drop kick the black, huge mess that held Robin in its pulsing arms.
Nightwing's feet made contact. He was bracing for solid impact, he was not expecting to go straight through the solid looking being. The action he did do, startled the creature, dropping Robin on the spot. The youth was able to jump away, a clear enough distance to stay out of the danger zone, for now.
Nightwing rebounded after a kick slide, rolling on to his feet. He extracted his fighting sticks and glanced over at Robin.
"You OK?"
Robin whipped the blood off of his lip.
"I've had better days. This bastard got me quick."
Nightwing looked at the once solid being, was now broken up, he let the night vision take over to get a better glimpse of what it really was. To his horror, the solid mass was made up of thousands of cockroaches.
"OH KAY! I think we need some heavy pesticides to kill these bugs…"
Nightwing regretted those words. "Pesticides" was apparently a trigger word for those things to come as a group at him in a speed he couldn't almost get away from. The bugs formed a giant fist and slammed into the wall that was behind him.
The bugs scattered, getting ready to attack again. In one voice it screamed.
"WHERE IS BATMAN!"
A mass reached out, grabbing Nightwing's leg and pulled him towards the growing mass. The older teen gritted his teeth, feeling powerless to stop the mass dragging him in.
"Close your EYES!"
Nightwing did as he was told to by Robin. Even with his eyes closed, Nightwing knew Robin threw flash bombs. The sound and muted flashes gave it away. The cockroach mass let him go, leaving Nightwing to cartwheel away, gaining distance once again.
"I am so going to take a long bath when this is over."
Robin barked back.
"How do you think I feel? That bastard dragged its feet all over me! What the hell did you and Batman do?"
Nightwing watched as the mass started to gather into a floating ball, ready to strike again. He was thinking of the time Batman and Robin took over for a while. Is slowly dawned on Nightwing on what this mass was and who was behind it.
"Ento…"
The mass started talking, laughing at Nightwing.
"So the Bat and Bird talked about me. I am so honored."
Robin glanced over at Nightwing, narrowing his eyes.
"I'm getting blamed for what you did, aren't I?"
Nightwing barked back.
"I didn't do anything! The guy fell into his own bug pit and vanished."
The mass was growing mad. It started to buzz and scream.
"I should thank you for doing what you did for me. I've always wanted to be one with my bugs, not that I am, I am an unstoppable force!"
Robin sighed heavily, glancing over at Nightwing.
"You think we should call in some back up? I didn't sign up for being a bug terminator…"
The mass shot towards Robin, causing the boy to quickly lay flat onto the ground. The ball impacted the wall behind him. Nightwing frowned, throwing another flash bomb towards the mass, scattering the roaches around the room.
"Can we not piss off this thing and find a way to contain it."
Robin giggled.
"Well normally I'd say kill it with fire, but let's find some baking soda or hot water…"
The scream the bugs made Robin and Nightwing pail and do something the two didn't think they'd ever do. They ran scared.
"You really have a death wish don't you."
"Well, I recall telling you I felt something watching us. You didn't believe me…"
"I'm sorry, now can we please figure out how to kill these things."
Robin stuck out his lip. He was getting annoyed that Nightwing didn't take his offer of "baking soda and hot water".
"I told you, BAKING SODA and HOT WATER. That stuff killed the roaches around my place when I used to live on my own."
Nightwing slacked, just slowing a bit to glance behind him to see the mass still charging forward.
"That really works?"
Robin had to hold back his tongue on making a smart ass remark. The older teen imputed some coordinates to find a Baking Soda factory. Nightwing gave a trumpet smile.
"My GOD, a company on based overseas for production! There is a place just on the out skirts of the city. We can get there in now time following the pipelines…"
A mass of roaches shot out at the two, catching the two off guard.
"AH!"
The two broke off. Nightwing took a left and Robin took a right. The older teen transferred the information over to Robin as the two vanished down the paths they took. With their spilt, so did the roaches. The commination link still on between the two.
"You OK Little Wing?"
Nightwing didn't even look behind him as he threw another flash bomb behind him. He could hear the bugs scatter.
On the head set he was wearing, he could hear Robin had the same idea of dropping off the flash bombs.
"I have to admit, I didn't think I'd get that much of a workout while we were here…"
Nightwing giggled at that. He wasn't expecting it either.
"Well, think you can meet up there at the factory, get this sucker in one go?"
"Yeah, but I have to take the upper ground, my line's about to hit a dead end. Want to make it a race?"
"Sure, only if you promise not to get caught again. See you there!"
Nightwing turned his comm off, he could hear that Robin was going to yell at him and he'd rather not have that distracting him. This was going to be a long run.
88888
A screamed echoed at the resort house.
Conner wash thrashing. His body burning up. The pain was very visible in his face and body as he held on to the bed, breaking it in his grip. Clark and M'ggan had to hold him down till his thrashing stilled.
Conner was not getting better. Ma and Pa glanced worriedly over at the boy who was slowly returning into a stilled sleep. Bruce leaned on the door way, while Alfred appeared with a fresh wash cloth and bowl of water.
Bruce looked at everyone in the room, once again giving out the option again that wasn't too welcomed.
"We need Lex Luthor. He knows the genetic make up for the boy. I can also guarantee it that he has a backup plan just in case."
M'ggan narrowed her eyes, insulted Bruce would even recommend Luthor.
"Are you crazy? What makes you think he'd help us any ways?"
Bruce sighed heavily. Glancing over at Clark then to Ma and Pa Kent.
"Because, regardless of the situation, Conner is also Lex's son. A father wants to protect their children, even if that said father isn't the best option, it's all we have for at the moment."
M'ggan was about to snap at the older man, but Clark beat her to it.
"I hate to admit it, but Bruce is right. Conner needs help now and he isn't getting any better."
Clark quickly changed, in the blink of an eye, into his Superman costume. M'ggan frowned, not liking how things were going, but changed into her Martian form.
"I'm going with you…If he tries anything…."
Superman nodded at the girl, before going to Conner and lifting him up in his arms. Bruce frowned, glancing over at the two.
"Keep it slow and don't put too much pressure on his body. Right now he should be close to regular human strength. If you go to fast you could…"
"I know…thank you Bruce. Ma, Pa, we'll be back soon."
M'ggan and Superman floated off, with a stilled Conner in his arms.
Bruce sighed heavily, it was a long night and an even longer day. The jet lag was getting to him.
"We can't do much now but rest and wait. I believe everything will work out."
Bruce glanced over at Pa, whom looked like he was still beating himself up after what he did. Bruce came over and rested a hand on the older man's shoulder.
"He'll be alright. You need to believe that. There have been times where Dick and Jason have made me worry at their bed sides too."
It took Bruce by surprise as the older man came up and held him close. Bruce glanced over at Ma then at Alfred, whom smiled and nodded. Bruce returned it. It felt like the old man needed it anyways.
"It's not your fault. Accidents happen…"
88888
Lex was reading a book by his fireplace. It was one of those rare days where, for the most part, he wasn't planning on causing trouble. Not after he heard that Batman was in town. No thank you, he didn't want any part of that, AT ALL.
The Batman was mean, scary and did not hold his punches. It was thanks to the Batman, Luthor had to waste money on some new replacement teeth. The damn man was fuck'n mean.
So when two flying people landed on his balcony, he was mildly surprised. He could tell by the shape of the tall one behind his curtain, was Superman. He couldn't figure out who the smaller one was, but guessed it was the young Supergirl that appeared recently. Luthor was also betting the person in Superman's arms was Lois, wouldn't be the first time he showed up with that damned reporter in his arms.
"So what brings you here Superman? Rumor had it, you were out for the night? And the fling rat was around…"
The sass in Luthor's voice fell, as did his face when he saw a shaking Conner in Superman's arms. The man got out of his chair and made his way over.
"What did you do?"
Superman frowned, looking at the man place a hand on Conner's head.
"Why do people keep asking if I did something? He fell into a cavern full of kryptonite."
Luthor looked over at the green girl next to Superman. He was really cautious around her. The bald man sighed, waving for the two to follow him.
"Place Conner down on the Sofa. I'll be back with an antidote."
Superman and Megan glanced at each other, before back at the man.
"You have one made already?"
Lex gave out a heavy sigh, pinching the bridge of his nose. He made his way over to the fire place, punched in a few key numbers and a picture moved, revealing a hidden safe. Once opened, Luthor grabbed a red liquid mixture and a syringe. He walked over to the suffering boy lying on the sofa.
Megan got in his way.
"I want to make sure this won't hurt him."
"I can assure you, it won't. I've already had something planned like this if I ever had to get Conner back, that is, if he had ran into any kryptonite. Which is why I have a steady supply."
Lex pulled out Conner's arm and injected the red liquid. The three watched as Conner's pained expression, faded away to a calm one. It didn't take long for his bright blue eyes to open up and look around him. To say the least, he was confused.
"Um….Are we in Luthor's home?"
Lex stood up, looking rather defeated in the process.
"Sadly it seems he has your deductive reasoning skills."
Both Conner and Superman cracked out a word.
"Ouch…"
Megan was so happy she threw herself onto Conner, giving him a big hug. The youth still complained, as he still wasn't fully recovered yet. Luthor eyed Superman once seeing the attachment of the two.
Luthor made a mental note, don't attack the girlfriend.
"Next time he has any more run in's with Kryptonite, please don't put it off. It could have really damaged his genetic structure."
Conner was able to slowly stand up on his own. His leg was still killing him and he was still very much light headed.
"Thank you…"
Luthor rolled his eyes.
"Now leave, you are disturbing my free night."
Superman nodded.
"Agreed. Can't stand being here."
Superman floated off the balcony, Megan used her powers to help bring Conner along with her. Luthor watched as the three floated away. Lex turned back to his sitting spot, grabbed his book and returned to reading. It was too late to do anything now. Still didn't stop him from being fuming mad.
888888
Robin was getting his hours worked into him on running, but he made it to his goal. The baking soda factory kept running all night, which was a good thing. The bugs have all but seemed to have gotten lost, so it gave Robin time to set up bombs around the area to set off the water pipes needed to make everything worked as planned. Robin glanced at his eye locator, noticing Nightwing wasn't far behind and that the mass that once followed Robin, was now connected as a whole mass.
The boy climbed his way up and took a spot from above the planned entrance Nightwing was to exit. He lowered down a wire, one that he hoped Nightwing would catch to swing away from the mass so everything could work out.
He closed his eyes and listened in with his ears. He could hear Nightwing running. He couldn't help but giggle, as the man was grunting hard at the pace he was running. He almost cracked out laughing when he heard him talk.
"MY GOD, the light at the end of the tunnel."
The older teen jumped and grasp for the wire, taking it easily in his hands and swinging forward, joining Robin in his little perch.
"Hey Little Wing, looks like you win."
The two watched as the mass of cockroaches blasted from the tunnel opening. With that, Robin detonated the explosions, sending a hoard of water to fall on top of the bugs and send them crashing down towards a pit of baking soda.
Their unified screams made the boys hold their ears in pain. The hot water from the pipes and the mixture of the powered cooked the bugs in the mixture. Robin quickly swung down with a small container in hand, catching one bug flying away from the bubbling death trap.
A little bug with red glowing eyes, dug at its plastic jail cell. It hissed and cried, calling Nightwing and Robin murderers.
Nightwing reached down and pulled Robin up. The two looked inside, seeing as the bug crawled around, ranting and raving.
"Robin, how did you know?"
"While I was first taken, this was the one that was zero'ed in on me. His eyes were different from the others. I also noticed that he'd lag behind the rest, so I figured he's be the only one to bail from the trap we set."
Nightwing rested both hands on Robin's shoulders, a bright smile fell on his face.
"Little Wing, you are going to be someone's perfect wife when you get older you know that?"
Robin frowned, elbowing Nightwing in the ribs, bringing the man down to his knees. The older youth ended up giggling a storm, even if his ribs were hurting him. Robin was a bright red mess. The two were caught off guard by a flash of Blue and Red. A very panicked looking Superman came rushing in. The two youth glanced at each other before turning towards Superman, who was looking around the area like mad.
"Wow, what are you doing here Superman?"
"I had to drop by the area and was ready to head back with Megan and Conner, when I heard this horrible screaming."
Both boys looked at each other, before cracking up laughing. Superman was not impressed.
"So what was the whole thing about then?"
Robin held up a container.
"This little guy here can control bugs. We just took out his cockroach army and captured him."
Superman looked at the little bug and his jaw went slacked.
"Is that…
"Yes, it's Ento. The Bug Man…."
Nightwing finished for him. Superman sighed.
"Well, here I thought he passed away all those years ago. Didn't know he became a bug."
Robin frowned.
"A mean one at that…and I had nothing to do with this bastard."
Nightwing rested an elbow on Robin's head.
"It's OK, we got this now. You can go back and be with your family. We already talked Blue and Booster. While you head back, say hi to "dad" for us."
Superman nodded, relaxed a bit now that he didn't have to worry about the Bat's son's for the rest of the night.
"See you two in a few more days!"
"Take care!"
Superman flew off, to go join M'ggan and Conner where he last left them.
Robin sighed.
"Man, but be one hell of a family gathering…"
Nightwing yawned, grabbing the container from Robin.
"Let's drop this bug off and call it a night."
"Agreed, I want to take a long hot bath and get the stench off of me."
Nightwing agreed.
"Since you beat me to the factory. The Bath is yours first."
Robin jumped up, screaming "Yeah Hoo!"
With that yell, a metal pipe fell behind the boys into the mess of backing soda and dead roaches. Both boys looked at it, then back at each other.
"This was so a water break in the pipeline. Had nothing to do with us!"
"Yep, it was like that when we got here…now lets go before the cops show."
The two once again, headed off into the night, making their long journey back to the flat.
888888
The sun was already begging to set when the trio returned to the island. Conner was back up to 75% strength, but not enough to still walk normally.
Ma smiled when she saw the three come towards her and the rest of the group. She and Alfred quickly vanished inside.
Pa and Bruce glanced up, both at ease that everything went well.
Once they touched ground, M'ggan returned to her human shape. Pa ran up and hugged the two. Conner smiled, returning the hug.
Superman glanced over at Bruce.
"Your children gave me a scare."
"Oh, how so?"
"I heard screaming and it freaked me out."
Bruce started to walk away, back inside the Villa.
"Please, my kids know how to handle themselves."
Superman followed Bruce into the Villa.
"You do know my looks can kill right?"
"Please, you are too much of a boy scout."
Conner took in a deep breath, a huge smile fell on his face.
"Do I smell pancakes?"
Pa pulled away and looked at the two children in his arms.
"Ma wanted to cook everyone Breakfast for dinner."
M'ggan took the hint to leave and join the others. She kissed Conner's cheek and ran inside.
Pa leaned forward, kissing Conner's forehead. This cause Conner to blush a bit. It felt right to him. It's what Clark did to him as well.
"So what do you say Conner? Give this old man another go around?"
Conner smiled.
"You bet old man."
8888
Both Jason and Dick glanced at the clock that screamed "12 Noon" at them. Neither of them got out of bed the two somehow collapsed on, forgetting the bath and just finding a place to sleep when they hit the flat at 7 in the morning.
It slowly dawned on Jason, that he and Dick were still in their hero gear. He pushed himself up, feeling like he'd been running a marathon.
He glanced over at Dick, who looked like death had yet to warm over. Jason cracked a smile, speaking out only a few words.
"Hey, Dick, I'm bored."
Jason ended up cracking up laughing extremely hard, when a wave of pillows attacked him. Dick tackled him to the ground, pinning the boy underneath him.
"What did I tell you about saying that you little brat."
Jason quickly kicked Dick off of him and made his way to the bath room.
"I want to go to the park today! Once you get cleaned up, let's get going."
"Where the hell do you get your energy?"
Dick let out a heavy sigh, not bothering to move again till Jason got out, which he hoped would be for a very long time.
8888888
Four days later
8888888
Dick and Jason sprawled out on the airport waiting room. It had been a rather calm after the bug incident, they two were just more exhausted over the fan girls that seemed to have found out that the two most richest teens were in their City.
"Dick, I want to go home…"
"Agreed to the nth Aster."
Jason frowned, the "aster" came out again. He glanced over at his brother.
"You do know "Aster" is a flower right?"
Dick smiled, he knew alright. He wasn't that stupid. His smart mouth was silenced to a slight whack to the back of his head.
"ACK, HEY!?"
Dick turned around with a frown on his face, he had no idea who hit him. Jason on the other hand, started got giggle and his eyes lit up.
Isabel, the flight attendant glared down at the older teen. Dick looked down at the floor. Isabel got him again. She COULD be a good replacement for Batman.
"I will not have you saying anything pervert to Jason. God knows what you did while here in this city to the poor boy."
Dick heard a chuckle escape from Jason's mouth. The kid was so going to get it.
"Yes, I understand…"
The three glanced up as a group of people started to walk off the Jet the duo were waiting for. Isabel turned and smiled at Jason.
"Well I have to get going now and get ready for my shift over. Come visit later on ok Jason?"
Jason shot his hands up in the air, extremely childlike.
"OK! See you soon Isabel."
Dick grumbled as he watch "the woman" leave. She did not even give him an inch this time around.
"Your game is strong Jason?"
Jason blinked.
"What?"
"Nothing…"
A familiar voice called out to the two boys.
"Master Richard, Master Jason."
Both boys shot up and made their way over to the gate.
"ALFRED!"
A quick hug fell between the three. Not long after, did Ma and Pa Kent exit. Ma was so happy to see Dick again, she gave him a big kiss on his cheek. Pa shook Dick's hand.
"Sure have grown, haven't you…and who is this little guy?"
"I'm Jason, nice to meet you."
Ma attacked first, grabbing the boy into a strong hug and butterfly kisses. Jason was frozen in place for a bit, like a deer caught in the headlights.
"OH JOHN, he's SO CUTE! We must ask Bruce to let him come over for Christmas this year with the boys!"
"Martha, you are scaring the poor boy."
Dick giggled. She did the same thing to him when he was a small boy. Dick glanced over to see Conner and …M'ggan?
"Hey, didn't know you went with them Megan?"
M'ggan took a deep breath, while Conner lowered his head in shame.
"It's a long story and we will talk about it LATER. Like we need to talk about YOUR FATHER…"
Clark and Bruce appeared behind the two love birds, pushing them along.
"You are blocking the walk way."
Bruce bellowed out. M'ggan narrowed her eyes at the man. Clark and Conner glanced at each other. The glare vanished when Jason came into sight and latched onto Bruce.
"You are not going to believe where Dick took me."
All the adults and older teens laid heavy eyes on to Dick. The teen felt like he was going to the gallows.
"Where…?"
"THE Aquarium! The sharks were awesome! And for once the animals didn't try to kill us."
Jason detached himself off of Bruce, he went to his passport and pulled out some pictures.
"We also went to the Photobooth!"
Bruce kneeled down, being eye level with Jason.
"So you did. Well I'm glad the two of you had a fun time together."
*click* X 3
Jason and Bruce looked up. Alfred, Ma and Clark held out cameras and took the moment in all its glory. The camera's went clicking again when both of them showed the same scowl. Laughter escaped the area.
The overhead intercom called out. The Gotham Jet was ready to be packed and loaded. Alfred, Bruce, Dick and Jason all said their good bye, promising to meet up as a family for Christmas at the Kent's.
Ma, Pa, M'ggan, and Conner headed off the Clark's apartment for the night.
The drive over to Clark's apartment was a long drive. Ma had fallen asleep on Pa. Pa had fallen asleep on Clark's shoulder, whom was driving. M'ggan had differed off to sleep in Conner's lap. Conner, was tired, but very much awake.
Clark glanced back at the boy and gave him a smile. Conner returned it.
"So…them first steps."
Clark giggled like mad, trying not to wake his parents. Conner narrowed his eyes, his grumpy face came on.
"Oh haha."
End.-if you want an Omake…let me know.
