A/N: I don't own anything except the plot. Thanks to all who review, hope you enjoy this one I put a lot of thought into how the talk would go between Brianna and Conner since this a very important scene.

No one's P.O.V

Somewhere near the shores of Happy Harbor two figures sat in a booth at a café, no words were spoken at least not yet. Sitting in the local café Conner stared at his cheese burger combo as if it held the secret to life.

Looking up at Batwoman or Brianna as he was told to call her, he silently wondered how he had gotten here. One minute they were at Mount Justice alone the next she had asked him if he was hungry and wanted to get a bite to eat, he just didn't understand it.

Why would a top notch hero like Batwoman carelessly reveal her secret identity to him, although he himself didn't understand the concept of having one he did know that it was important.

The woman in question carefully looked up at Conner her blues eyes taking in his body gestures and movements- he was nervous and painfully so.

"What's wrong, you don't like your food? you could always send it back-"

"No, no it's not that", cutting her off "it's just why did you bring me here?" he questioned a serious look etched onto his face, eyes full determination, curiosity and a deep longing. He wore a simple black T-shirt with a leather jacket and blue jeans his same old combat boots held is his feet.

While she herself wore a white blouse with a black blazer and designer business slacks and heels.

Leaning on her arms over the table she answered his question.

"Because I care about you Conner" she replied simply

" But why ?" Conner was even more curios than before as his heart soared at Brianna's proclamation. This woman before was completely different from the Batwoman he saw everyday at mount Justice, no this woman had eyes filled with such kindness and love he felt like he was drowning.

"Conner I understand that since you've escaped from Cadmus things have been hard on you from joining the team to learning about the world around you I feel that even after all you've accomplished and done since then that you still need a guide to help you".

Before Conner could open his mouth to she spoke the answer to his question.

"No it isn't Superman he has already missed his chance" she said "instead it's going to me, if you'll have me" leaning back in her seat she waited for his answer.

Picking up his slack jaw from the table he questioned her "But why me?" He replied, here was one of the world's greatest hero's who he believed he could do anything, offering to take him on as an apprentice he couldn't help but question her reasons.

"Because Conner I see potential in you, the potential to be a great hero I see in your eyes the determination my master saw in me when I needed guidance" she stated truthfully in her eyes she saw herself all those years ago in a Chinese prison when Ra al Ghul had come for her. A lost soul searching for their place in the world and the chance that could make or break them, only one chance was what she needed all those years and it had saved her life and it was the same chance she was giving to Conner a chance to prove he was more than Superman's clone.

"It's not just that Conner because if you do except my offer I wish to make our make our relationship much deeper than mentor and student, I want to adopt you as my son."

Staring at the hero now Conner felt like his heart was going to burst here it was everything he had dreamed and hoped for was right in front of him and all he had to do was say yes, but the words seemed un able to come out. No more lonely nights in the base no more second guessing on who he was because pretty soon he was going to be Conner Wayne Kent.

"What about Nightwing and the Justice League?"

"I don't care what the league thinks even you should know that by now and Dick is thrilled by the idea of another brother as are the others" she answered her tone a happy one as she already what his answer was going to be.

Processing on what she had just said "Wait, others?"

"I have three other son's Conner all who know about my 'job' and are well trained by me just like you will be. We've discussed this as a family Conner and we want you to be a part of it" holding out her hand. "Will you?"

Reaching out his hand to hers grasped it answer in a mantra "Yes"

Tears were soon rolling down Conner's cheeks as he was overwhelmed by the turn of his emotions. Crossing the table to sit right next to him she gently wrapped her arms around the slightly taller boy his head resting on her shoulder as she quietly soothed him. Her tone was quiet only loud that enough that they could hear each other.

"It's okay Conner, it's okay you'll never be alone again, I promise."

Lifting his head off her shoulder after he had calm down he spoke to her.

"I'm ready" his voice held no sign of doubt.

"I'm sure you are but I want to take this slow Conner for us to get to know each other better and to meet the family before you move to make sure that this is what you really want." She confirmed.

Nodding his head the two finally ate their food as the people watched on the board walk.

…Time Skip… 2 months later.

Truth be told they had taken their time in getting to know each other. Every weekend he spent time at the Wayne manor, either training with Batwoman or Dick he was learning all there was about The Wayne family. Alfred had soon become his favorite friend in the Wayne Manor teaching him the full layout of the grounds so he would never get lost to becoming his private tutor in his schooling and the proper behavior and etiquette he would need for all of Brianna's high society parties. He would soon be exposed to the public as Brianna's son and they would be hosting a party at the manor for him to mingle with some of the Gotham's and out of town big wigs.

Sitting down now at the Wayne family table as they just served dinner Conner couldn't believe how happy he was. Dick and Jason had quickly shown him the ropes in how the common boy acted from right to wrong to today's use of slang and mannerisms.

His favorite person to spend time with other than Brianna was Tim he was always inviting Conner to sit and watch Sesame Street with him and play with the young four year olds action figures. The two were often found by an old swing set that had been on the family grounds since Brianna was born. Tim cheering for Conner to push him higher while Conner enjoyed the brotherly bond they shared someone who wasn't afraid of his strength and didn't treat him differently.

Conner knew he would be eternally grateful for all the things Brianna had done for him especially when it had come to confronting Lex Luthor it was a moment he would never forget.

….Flashback….

It had been two weeks since Brianna had taken him in and he had already told her his greatest secret. No matter how hard he tried the guilt and lies had eventual gotten to him and after dinner in the Bat cave he had told and shown her the Shields and who he had gotten them from. He had expected Brianna to be furious with him, take back her promise and possibly kick him off the team but instead she simply hugged him and told them how trying to live up to everyone's expectations can cause confusion and result's to desperate measure's and that everyone tends to stray from the path but that the good thing was that he managed to admit his mistake and tell her about it. It was then did he give all of the 'shields' for her to examine and after wards the two had come up with a plan to return them to Luthor and get the message across that he didn't want or need them anymore.

It was the plan that brought them here now

Standing on the docks of Happy Harbor looking out at the ocean Conner patiently waited for 'him' to arrive. This was just like how he and Brianna planned it, looking over in the darkness of an abandon building he knew Brianna was there in the Tumbler Batsuit on ready in case anything happened. Turning his head heard the rumble of a car engine as the limo came to a stop he waited for the man he who made up half his DNA to step out of the car.

Once Lex stepped out of the car he quickly greeted Conner with a crooked smile on his face.

"Ahhh Conner so good to see you again, come to ask for more of these?" he questioned lifting the small lead box up to Conner revealing more 'Shields'.

Stepping back an inch he shook his head and dug his head into his pocket tossing the un-used 'shields' into the box at Luthor.

"No I came to return these and to tell you that I don't them and I don't need you" his tone was even as he stood brave and tall in front of Lex.

Laughing at what he thought was a joke Lex proceeded to move towards him only to be stopped short by Conner looking at the hand that had a firm grasp on his shoulder and the face of Conner he chuckled quietly to himself as he shrugged the hand off.

"Ohhh I see you think that now that Brianna's taken you in you can just toss me aside. No Conner that's not how it works I am your father and you will do as I say! He commanded.

"Your not my Dad!" He shouted "We may have the same genes but that doesn't mean you're my father never were never will be" he confirmed.

Placing his hands behind his back Lex paced calmly in front of him. "I wonder what mommy dearest would have to say if she found out that her new son was actually a clone of the world's strongest man" he threaten.

"You wouldn't" feigning shock Batwoman was not doubt listening in on the conversation and he still needed to play his part. Brianna had told him that Lex had no idea that she was Batwoman and that made his threat invalid and them always one step ahead.

"Oh yes I would, what's it gonna be Conner" he said his head held out for Conner awaiting his answer.

Steeling himself with a mask of indifference he gave his answer. "I'll take my chances" pushing Lex's offered hand aside.

Face twisted in obvious anger he marched back over to climb into his car but before he could drive away he rolled down his window and spoke to Conner once more.

"Don't think this is over once Brianna realizes the truth you'll come crawling back they all do" with that the car speeded away leaving him once again by himself

Looking in the same direction the car sped off to he soon felt a leather clad hand on his shoulder knowing who it was he put up no resistance and leaned into the touch for comfort.

"You did well, I'm proud of you" Batwoman said her face gracing a gentle smile.

"Couldn't have done without my great teacher" smiling back at her

No words were said as the two walked hand in hand to the tumbler and made their way back to Gotham.

…End Flashback…

It was after that night did Conner start calling Brianna Mom. Eating his share of food at the table as the atmosphere settled into a happy one everyone fell into casual talk as laughing as Brianna fussed with Tim eating his vegetables. Hearing a small whimper to his left he turned his head down to face Ace the family's Great Dane begging for table scraps his head resting on Conner's lap giving him the puppy dog look knowing he'd never be able to resist. Sneaking a piece of steak of the table he gave it to the ever loyal dog as he petted his head.

Looking around the table that was practically glowing with life he couldn't help but wonder 'Is this what it's like to be happy?'

…Scene Change & Time Skip…

M'gann had always been curious about Earth's culture and a little on the ditzy side but she knew something was going on. Something was definitely different with Conner but M'gann just didn't know what. It had been a total of three months since she had her suspicions A/N: for some of you confuse with the dates and time Brianna went on vacation late April and it is now July.

The rest of the team were curious too on what was wrong with the normally angry, anti-social boy who was now calm and more in tune with the team. The only who wasn't interested was NightWing and it was mostly because the two now seemed to be tied at the hip, but whenever he was questioned on it he gave cryptic answers and sly smiles.

The first few weeks he came in with better behavior the next his hand to hand combat and agility had improved the last straw for the team was when he came in wearing jet black military cargo pants combat boots and the usual black superman T-shirt but with silver instead of red matching the silver metal arm and shoulder guards with fingerless gloves. All in all Conner looked ready to face Darkseid himself.

Marching over to where NightWing and Conner were seated in the living room the group soon surrounded them. Before they could bombard the two with questions demanding answers they were cut off by Conner holding up his hand.

"Before you guys say anything I know I've been acting weird lately and it's because Batwoman has taken me on as an apprentice"

Now the team was even more confused than before.

"That and how would you guys like to be invited for my birthday party?"
