Hold Me

Chapter 3

"Dude, we should totally investigate on it" Wally shout to the team, minus Superboy, who he had purposely taken care of putting in charge of buying food for the rest of the week, to have some time to gather the team without the Kryptonian clone present.

After waking up, Kid Flash had more than enough time to re-think on the events from last night; and particularly jumping to conclusions after confirming with M'gann that his friend had never worn clothes without the S-shield outside of their school time.

"Aren't you overreacting a little?" Robin sighed, he was used to his best friend rushing to conclusions, but sometimes even he got amazed by the crazy things the redhead could come up with.

"Like that time you made us follow Wolf because you thought he was a werewolf." Artemis mocked.

"Wereman!" Kid Flash corrected as he blushed to the memory of that mistake.

"Whatever, in the end it was Conner..."

"Supey!" This time both Wally and Robin corrected Artemis, they still liked to refer to his friend with their nickname for him instead of the human name he had received.

"... Conner" Artemis, as well as Kaldur and M'gann, liked the human name Superboy had been given. "training Wolf for missions."

"It was dark..." Wally tried to explain. "And they made weird noises..."

"Still, it was fun to play detective." M'gann giggled.

"Batman didn't thought so, remember?" Kaldur slightly shivered, remembering how the Dark Knight reacted to the unnecessary destruction inside the base.

"But this time we have facts!" Wally waved his arms in desperation to make the team understand the seriousness of the subject at hand. "Supey wasn't wearing his shield, and he lied about it!"

"Listen, Kid Big Mouth, he just went to walk Wolf with a red tank top, why do you need to act as if the world was about to end."

"Did Conner say he was walking Wolf?" M'gann asked, confused at Artemis statement. "What time was it?"

"Um... I think it was almost 4am when I found him by the hangar with Sphere and Wolf."

"But... I went for a glass of water at around 3.30am..." The martian commented. "And Wolf was sleeping on the couch."

Robin seemed to pick up an interest on the story after that detail. "So... either they took one of their shortest walk ever or..."

"... DUDE!" Wally jumped out of his chair, startling the martian sitting by his side. "Why didn't I think of it before! That looked more like if Wolf and Sphere were greeting Supey, not playing with him!"

"Why would he lie to you then?" Miss Martian wondered.

"It would seem like if he is hiding something from us." Robin snickered. "Who would have thought Supey had it on him? Not even a year old and already tricking a fellow hero into a lie."

"Not as if you need much experience on life to trick a bird brain like Wally." Artemis eye rolled.

"Are we really going to make this...?" Kaldur asked in disbelief.

"Seems that way." Robin shrugged.

"I'm just curious about what's going on here, not because I believe Kid dork's crazy idea of Conner forming a justice league of his own"

"What's so crazy about that?" Kid Flash complained.

"KF, Supey becoming a hooker has more sense than that." Robin joked.

After several conjectures, the team concluded that the only moment Superboy could sneak out without them noticing would be on Friday nights. Whenever they spent the night on the base they would stay up until late on the lounge, Superboy included, but on Friday nights they always went to bed early because of the morning training with Black Canary on Saturdays.

Details were discussed throughout the following days, the team making sure of paying attention to anything on Superboy's behavior that would look out of place.

On Thursday afternoon they gathered on a cafe in Central City to compare notes.

"So... we all agree that Supey has been more calm and relaxed after Friday nights lately?" Robin asked as they compared the result of their pseudo investigation.

"I think it has been going on for more than a month... maybe two." Kaldur added.

"Yes, I thought it was because that night we went to sleep early..." M'gann shyly confessed. "but if you think about it, he doesn't really need to sleep much compared to us."

"Yeah, yeah, that yellow sun recharging thingie for being Kryptonian, we know." The archer continued.

"Something happens on Friday nights that relaxes him." Wally said, trying to think on what could happen on Fridays.

They spent the rest of the afternoon preparing a plan to their actions for the next day. By when they covered all the details they needed to discuss, it was almost sunset.

"That should clarify what everyone's role will be tomorrow." Aqualad stated as he signaled the waiter for the bill. "Let's go back to base now, Conner will be wondering why we have been absent for so long."

Superboy thought it would be fun to have the rest of the team spending more time on the cave during those two weeks of holidays... but so far it hasn't been that great.

Since Saturday they have given him different chores that would maintain him occupied and away from them. The young hero tried not to give it much thoughts, but it already had been 6 days of them leaving him alone for most of the day.

"If they don't want to spend time with me, I would rather be told so instead of receiving excuses to keep me away... it really hurts to be left alone like that."

The Kryptonian clone sighed as he walked by the beach with Wolf, who had started to rub his muzzle in a friendly way against his master's hand.

"I know, I can always count on you."

Superboy smiled to his furry friend. He wasn't completely alone after all. Besides, Friday was only one day away... and he could certainly use that feeling of being needed and loved after that week.

"Supey~~!" A blur of colors called as it approached to the young hero.

"Wa-?" Was all that Superboy got to say before being tackled down, ending with some sand into his clothes and his speedster friend sitting on his chest.

"I looked for you everywhere!" Wally ruffled his friend's hair. "I have some of those movies you like."

"But what about the others…?" Superboy was uneasy about letting the rest of the team know of those kinds of movies, only Wally and Robin knew that secret, and it was only because they found him watching them by accident.

"Kaldur went to Atlantis to visit some friends, and the girls went to a party with… Keran? Karen?" The speedster tapped his chin as he tried to remember the name. "Whatever, one girl from your school. So it'll be you, me and Rob for the night."

"Sounds like fun." Superboy let out with relief. Maybe he was just imagining things after all; at least part of the team seemed to care for him.

"I'm sorry we have been busy lately." Wally apologized as he helped the Kryptonian clone up. "But like I promised, we'll have fun now that we're on holidays!"

"Yeah…" Superboy tried to hide a smile as he dusted the sand off him. "Umm… Wally… what movie did you bring this time?"

"Since you liked Cinderella I got the two sequels that Disney made."

"Must be weird for me to like kid stuff… uh?"

"Hey, blame Disney, they are the ones putting subliminal messages in their movies to capture everyone's soul." The speedster joked as he waved his hands in a mysterious manner.

"D-do they seriously do that?" The Kryptonian clone asked in half disbelief.

"It's just a joke… Though sometimes I have my doubts."

A/N: And the team gets some starring time on this chapter, let's see if they are worth it with whatever they come up with for their plan on next chapter.
