In the name of the things that were bizarre, Stephanie Brown somehow attracted, or at least stunned one of the most powerful beings in this universe. Glancing at the records of what Conner Kent had done to ARGUS, she was quite impressed. It was just that she couldn't really find him anywhere else. All he did was getting really confused on things and somehow ended up in Gotham City was one of the perks on being alive, because he could end up finding her.

He was cute, and Stephanie was interested in him. Then her actual boyfriend came in and told her that the boy she was dating was an alien. That was unbelievable, but at the same time he was able to convince her that it was the case. She wasn't really sure what to do when she found him later on, but she was going to be ready nonetheless.

That morning, Stephanie was supposed to go into the dinner for another shift, but something came up on the door. The doorbell rang. It echoed all throughout her small apartment. She woke up from her bed and came into the door. That's where she saw him.

"Oh." Stephanie said. "Wow. I never thought you'd show up."

"Sorry." Conner scratched the back of his head. "I was away, and for whatever happened the last time we met."

"No, I'm supposed to say that." Stephanie said. "I kicked you out. It wasn't kind of me. I can be a bit emotional I guess."

"Well, I'm sorry if I did something to you."

"No! No! You didn't do anything. Don't worry." Stephanie said.

"Okay then." Conner said. "Um... do you mind if I ask something?"

"I think I know what you're going to ask." Stephanie said. "But you should come in. I'll be making some coffee or hot chocolate. You want some?"

"Uh... yeah sure." Conner said. "Thanks."

"Don't be." Stephanie said. "Just consider it a sorry statement."

##

"So uh..." Conner asked. "Who was that guy?"

"He's my boyfriend." Stephanie said.

"Boyfriend?" Conner said. "You mean the one that you said died?"

"Yeah." Stephanie said. "Turns out he wasn't so dead after all."

"How did he die?"

"He got caught in an explosion." Stephanie said. "Turns out that the explosion didn't really kill him, but it just made him to look normal. Not sure if he went in completely unharmed or he did sustain some injuries but it didn't hurt his face. Other than a few scratches, he's doing fine."

"And... you're planning to come back to him?"

"Well, we did talk about that." Stephanie said. "Do you want to know what he said?"

"I'm not sure if I'm ready for it."

"Believe me, it's not that bad." Stephanie said. "He was pretty mad at first, but he was glad that at least I begin to move on. I mean it's been two years and I haven't been with anyone period. I'm all alone and I'm going to need someone."

"So I guess that you didn't want me."

"Well, I did." Stephanie said. "But now that Tim is there and he's still alive and doing well, I... I don't even know who to choose anymore. I don't know."

"Hey," Conner said. "Whatever choice you make, at least make ones that will make you happy."

"But I don't want to hurt anyone."

"Sometimes, if you want to be truly happy, you'll get to hurt someone." Conner said. "I... haven't been in relationships myself, but I guess that's how it works."

"Yeah, you're right." Stephanie said. "Which means that I have to choose either of you."

"Well, whatever you choose, I just want you to be happy." Conner said. "You've been really nice to me. You've... really shown me how it's like to be happy. Even if it hurts me, I respect your choice."

"In that case, you know exactly who I picked."

"And I'm not going to blame you for it." Conner said. "If you don't want us to be couples, then let's just be friends okay? I like having you as a friend."

"Then at least you're going to like my friends?"

"Well, maybe." Conner said. "Unless they're really annoying."

Stephanie giggled. "Don't worry. I have some annoying friends, but none that you really want to kill for. Anyway, I need to prepare myself. Eight o' clock is two hours and I'm going to need to do my shift."

"Of course." Conner said. "Is there anything that I can help you?"

"How about making us some toasts?" Stephanie said. "You can do it, right?"

Conner giggled. "You should never underestimate my toast-cooking skills."

"It's just putting two breads in a toaster, Conner. Don't boast it." Stephanie said. "I'm going to the shower now."

The doorbell rang once again. Stephanie went up off the sofa and into the door to open it. She opened the door and was a bit startled to see her actual boyfriend pop up in there.

"Hey." Tim said.

"You're early." Stephanie said. "I thought I told you to pick me up at 7."

"Yeah well, I'm rather worried about you." Tim said. "I really hope that your badass motorcycles can get fixed."

"This is really a bad time, or at least you'd think it'd be a bad time."

Tim just realized what Stephanie meant. He went in closer towards her to whisper in his words.

"Oh my god, is that him?"

"Don't worry." Stephanie said. "Just talk to him. He won't bite."

"Well, a conversation between exes are going to be a little awkward."

"No doubt." Stephanie said. "That's why I'll introduce you to him."

"What, no!"

Stephanie pulled Tim off of the door and greeted him to the alien monster and the ex-boyfriend Conner Kent. For the record, this was probably the most awkward of things in his entire life, but at least Stephanie promised him that he won't bite.

"Conner," Stephanie asked. "This is uh... my boyfriend Tim Drake. I want you to meet him."

"Stephanie..."

"Just greet him." Stephanie said. "I'll be taking a bath. Be nice, okay? Oh and don't forget the toast!"

Conner paused for a bit as Stephanie ordered him. After a brief glance towards Tim, he rose up from his seat and went into the kitchen and said a few permission.

"I uh..." Conner said. "I'm going to make some toast. Do you want some?"

"Yeah, that'd be great."

##

Hopefully the conversation didn't go as awkward as they expected, and that Stephanie's bizarre expectations were going to be filled with something a lot more productive than two testosterone fighting at each other. Even then, she'll knew who win. The two got together in the kitchen and made some toast for Stephanie as her daily breakfast. Tim got into the kitchen to make the drinks, nothing but a simple tea for the three.

"So um..." Tim said. "Where are you from?"

"Me?" Conner said. "I... I don't remember."

"Yeah, Stephanie told me about it." Tim said. "But I heard that Stephanie couldn't find out who you really are. It's like your identity is wiped out of this planet."

"I don't know anything about that." Conner said. "But what I know is that I've been through a serious war and... lots of peoples die. I killed some of those peoples."

"A war survivor with no identity." Tim said. "Man, I really do get why Stephanie digs you."

"Even then, I still don't know why." Conner said. "Where did she learn how to fight like that?"

"That alone is a mystery." Tim said. "She never told any of us about it."

"Us?"

"Ehm... me and her friends, I mean." Tim said. "The thing about her is that she loves to go through danger and take risks. She's a daredevil, and she can take care of herself no matter how big that danger is."

"That's... interesting." Conner said.

"Did she tell you anything about her past, at all?" Tim asked.

"No." Conner said. "She told me about her daughter."

"Ah yes." Tim said. "That's another issue entirely, but nothing else from her past?"

"Nothing too clear." Conner said. "She said that she went through war. What kind of war or what kind of peoples that she hurt weren't so clear to me."

"Well, that one is not wrong."

"I'm curious." Conner said. "Can you tell me what kind of war was that?"

"That's... not for me to tell." Tim said. "That's for her to decide, and someone else too."

"Who?"

"Her uh... little step-brother." Tim said. "I guess you can call him that."

"Yeah." Conner went out of the toaster and made a few toasts. "Well, let's get some breakfast then."

He took one toast out of the platter. It was a simple bread and butter with chocolate jelly. Nothing harmful can come out of it, although he would prefer if he could get a better drink than tea. To be fair, Tim was good at making tea so definitely a good contender. Conner sat right next to him to consume their breakfast, chocolate jelly and butter and a relaxing tea.

"So do you have anything to do in Gotham?" Tim asked. "Any work or... friends or... relatives?"

"No." Conner said. "I'm just... staying here. I don't know exactly why I'm here or how I got here."

"That's really weird." Tim said. "So what are you going to do after you meet her here?"

"Well, I'd be staying with her here if she lets me. If not, well, I'll probably get another place to live." Conner sipped his tea. "Mmm... this is good."

"Thanks." Tim said.

"Oh and I want to ask you something if you mind."

"What?"

"Do you remember about the meteor that falls down here in Gotham City?"

"Uh... yeah." Tim said. "What about it?"

"Is there anything weird about it?"

Tim scoffed. "It's a meteor that falls down into Gotham City. It happens every Monday, right?"

"That's not what I meant." Conner said. "Is there something particularly weird about it other than that?"

"Like... what?"

"Something... alien about it?"

Tim backed his head away before making a joke. "Wait, are you saying that you're from outer space?"

"I... yeah." Conner said. "Yeah. I'm from outer space. Definitely. What do you think?"

Tim giggled. "Yeah sure you are."

"No, I'm serious." Conner said. "I'm from outer space. I... I think I remember now. I'm... not from here. I'm not on this Earth. That's why I don't remember anything."

"Dude, I can't believe that Stephanie fell for you." Tim said. "You're so bad at lying."

"What?"

"She probably knows about you." Tim said. "In fact, she knew about it."

"Know about... what the..."

That's when Conner felt a little bit of a dizzy and knocked his own head down the table. He fell asleep. Couldn't believe that a highly concentrated sedative could work on a guy like him. Now it was up to Damian Wayne and his other superheroes to take charge in leading him.

"Tim..."

Stephanie said from the edge of the kitchen, looking rather curious about what just happened to Conner Kent.

"Don't worry." Tim said. "He just got from a really bad hangover."

"You're going to tell Damian about this?"

"Definitely." Tim picked his phone up for a call. "Never thought that sedatives worked on him. I told you he's vulnerable from the inside."

"Well, I don't think it's this literally." Stephanie said. "Him wrecking that entire lab is freaking insane. Or you know what, you should've let me sleep with him again. He'll get himself to sleep."

"That'd be really bad for us."

"Wow. I never thought that you can be jealous of me." Stephanie said. "I gotta say I'm quite impressed."

"Just shut up." Tim said. "And get him around."

Tim get the phone on his ears as Damian's voice began to emerge from it.

"Hello, Damian?" Tim said. "I got your target."

"Good." Damian said. "Mind if you bring him to the Wayne Manor?"

"Well, how about getting one of your flying friends to get him from here?" Tim said. "I want to verify just in case."

"We're just landing." Damian said. "I'll get Kory in there as soon as possible."

Tied up. Dark room. Dark place. It was just as when that woman Amanda Waller got into him with all of her superb intellectual talents and firepower. Darkness could only cover his eyes, but it was a lot brighter than it was before. Then it clicked on him. It wasn't dark. It was blurry. He couldn't see a thing right in front of him, as if his eyes were being splashed with water. That grey blurry thing was nothing to worry about, but the pink and purple parts certainly were.

"I hope that you have a good morning sleep."

It seemed that he was discovered by none other than the princess herself. Princess Koriand'r stood right far from him. He just noticed that he was surrounded with darkness, and that the princess managed to corner him right into this place. Only a small portion of the area was illuminated. Only the princess knew about it because of her bright green vision that she could turn on at any time. He could see it in her eyes. Her desire to kill was engrained in her, but somehow there was a bit of a restraint as she walked herself into him.

"Y... you..." Conner said. "The... princess."

"You're right." Koriand'r said. "There's nothing more you can do now."

"What... what happened?"

"You just happened to get knocked out in the middle of the streets, and I find you there." Koriand'r said. "We're going to have a lot to talk about."

"Wait! Wait!"

Koriand'r began her first torture, hitting him with a fist into his left side of the face. Somehow, a man like him could bleed, a man so powerful not even the bullets could hurt him, and now he's bleeding from a punch to the face.

"But first," Koriand'r said. "You're going to suffer every single pain that I have suffered."

Conner groaned, grabbing his face bloodied. "Please, don't do this! It won't do you anything."

"It will bring me relief to what you have done.' Koriand'r said. "And it would bring me relief to what you have done to me. I believed in you, and you betrayed me like that."

"Look Princess Koriand'r," Conner said. "Please don't do this. You won't get any result from it. I'm not on their side anymore."

Koriand'r scoffed. "To think that I would be convinced of such lies."

"I'm not lying." Conner said. "Back then in Tamaran, I'm against you. But now, just let me proof to you that I'm on your side."

"And how are you going to do that?"

"Do you know who leaked the information to the Tamaraneans that caused your escape?"

The princess had her hands crossed with her face full of anger. She smirked on the thought that someone like him would cause a significant backing.

"Was it you?"
