Conner needed to talk to Wendy back at the beginning of the week. At the beginning of the week, Conner had a strange dream that involved kissing his ex-girlfriend's rebound guy...who had just had a bad break-up with the same ex-girlfriend. He thought maybe he should at least try to be nice to La'Gaan after that...strange dream. Maybe Conner had been too judgemental of the Atlatean at first. The raven haired clone thought maybe it was time that he let the hard feelings of jealousy go. Although, he was still wrapping his head around the idea.
And it didn't help that La'Gaan was avoiding him now! It might of had something to do with the fact that Conner had nearly beaten him twice recently, but...it seemed that La'Gaan was going out of his way just to stay away from Conner. The two had fought before, but La'Gaan had never straight out avoided the half-Kryptonian when it happened. For the whole rest of the week, the fish boy seemed to be out of sight or far away and then ducked out when Conner got close.
So an outing with Wendy was just what he needed. Back when he was dating M'gaan, she had often given him dating advice. And, when he felt she should know, told Wendy who he and his friends were outside of school. Needless to say, she had been impressed and promised to keep it a secret. Now, she was actually vying for Mal's old job since it seemed that he would be taking the role of Guardian. Conner told her to wait until they had a new base where she could actually work from.
It was good to see her friendly face as Conner approached the cafe table. He took a seat and they greeted each other. Wendy smiled and said, "How's Nightwing doing with that base?"
"Not very good," Conner replied, sighing. "We can't really seem to have any good ideas except another mountain."
"Build it underwater," said Wendy.
"It's not that simple," said Conner. "There are hundreds of precautions we have to take and you don't care about that you?"
"Nope," smiled Wendy. "Mention it to Nightwing. So how is everything going, with the whole Megan thing I mean?" That was one thing about Wendy. She had always remained constant that until M'gann told her in person then Wendy was calling her Megan. Sure, she believed she was a martian, but that didn't change who she was to Wendy.
"Megan broke up with La'Gaan," Conner replied as the waiter placed two Cokes in front of them.
"The fish boy? That's great!" exclaimed Wendy.
"I...I don't think I can ever get back with Megan," said Conner. "Not after what she did...but there's another problem..."
"Problem?" asked Wendy.
"Yeah...at the beginning of the week...I had this weird dream," Conner explained.
"Do go on," said Wendy.
"Well, you see I was breathing underwater and I was looking for someone. And I found La'Gaan who proceeded to kiss me so I pushed him away and then he got made so to comfort him...I kissed him."
Wendy was silent for a moment as she processed the dream, then suddenly she smiled broadly, "That's great!"
"How is that great?"
"You broke up with her, she broke up with him so you two get together to see if it works!"
"Why? What? I'm not gonna go out with La'Gaan! He's been avoiding me this whole week anyway." Conner let an annoyed frown grace his lips for a moment as he played with the straw of his drink.
"Look pretty disappointed by that," Wendy noted. Conner snapped his head up and glared at her.
"I am not."
"Yes, you are." Wendy gave Conner a half-smile and shrugged, "At least go talk to the poor guy."
"Tried it, ended up almost breaking his arm and slamming him into a wall." Wendy giggled.
"Not in the fun way?"
"Wendy!"
"Sorry, sorry. Look why don't you try to talk to him again without using your uber-violence. Like legitimately talk. Maybe you could at least be friends. You probably have more in common than you realize."
Conner twirled the straw in his drink while the waiter set down their lunches (Wendy had already ordered before they got there per usual). He sighed and finally agreed, "Alright, Wendy, I'll talk to him."
