Father's Love

Chapter 8:The Truth

Christopher was walking around Metropolis when he sensed another Kryptonianin the area. He slowly walked towards the tall building that housedthe Daily Planet. Christopher stood there staring up at the building before turning away and started to walk back to his rendezvous point with his father. From his position on the roof, Clark stared down at Christopher before looking away.

"Clark," Lois high pitched voice rang out onto the roof. I guess it time to get beck to work, Clark thought as he walked over to Lois, who was tapping her foot impatiently.

What is going on here?!" Lex yelled at the scientiststhat were running around the lab in a panic.

"Sir, we might have a problem with.. one of the clones," afemale scientist said.

"What type of problem?" Lex asked, glaring at her.

"It's just, we can't find the source of the problem but there has been a flux of emotion coming from the both of them causing a spasm to occur," The scientist explained as she tried not to shake in fear in front of her boss.

"Come on, Lois. Why would Lex Luther come here?" Clark asked. Lois shrugged her shoulders and quickly silenced him as they watched the spot where Lex Luther would arrive. They sat in a cafe shop across from the place waiting. Twenty minutes later, Clark let out a heavy sigh as he rubbed the sleep out of his eyes. He almost didn't see the teen from earlier come to the meeting point near the tree and sitdown.

LexLuthor's car pulled up near the tree and Lex stepped out and approached the teen. "Come now, Christopher, your brother will be back at home soon and we must be there to meet him," Lex said, which Clark heard thanks to his superhearing.

"I wondered what Lex said," Lois said as she watched the teen andLex Luthor get inside the car and drive away,heading back to his mansion.

Batman stared at the video footage from two weeks ago to see that Conner had came in twice with a pair of blank letters without a return address but he had written a return address onto the letters he received. As well the day of Luthor's revealing party the time and return of Connor matched perfectly to when Luthor's son had left as well.

Ihave to talk to him, Batman thought as he got off his chair and began walking towards the living room where Conner and M'gann was watching a movie. "Superboy, may I speak with you?" Batman said, causing the young Martian to jump slightly as the clone just turned around to nodded his head. Connor got off the couch to follow after Batman, leaving M'gann on the couch alone.

"Am I in any type of trouble?" Conner asked as he took as seat in one of the mission briefing chairs.

"No, unless you have something to tell me?" Batman said as he looked at the boy questioningly.

"No, I don't have anything I need to tell you," Conner told him as he stared at him evenly.

"Hmm, is that so? Because I think there is a lotwe need to talk about," the Dark Knight repliedas he brought up the pictures with Conner holding the letters.

"Those are my love letters," Superboy liedquickly. Batman raised an eyebrow at this and showed him another picture with him at Metropolis near Luthor'smansion.

"Want to explain this to me, Conner," Batman said as he stared at Conner.

The boy took a deep breathe. "I have been seeing Lex Luthor,"he confessed.

"Have you been giving away any of our secrets to the Light?" Batman asked going into "Bat" Mode. Conner looked at himflabbergasted.

"Of course not! We never talk about the team or the JusticeLeague!" he screamed. Batman's eyes narrowed.

"Conner, we can't allow this. You could be putting the whole team at danger," Batman informed him.

"What are you trying to say?" Conner asked.

"You either stop seeing Luther or you're off the team. I don't want to do this Conner but we can't have a possible breachon the team," the older hero explainedbefore walking away leaving Superboy alone. He screamed in frustration as he hit the wall, successfullycracking it before storming away to his room.

Once he arrived at the Watchtower Batman quickly summoned all of the Justice League members for a meeting. One by one,they showed up, wondering what this was all about.

"Does anyone know why Bats called us here on such short notice?" Flash asked. Everyone glanced around at each other but no one knew.

"He has two sons actually," Superman 's eyes snapped up in horror as Batman stared at him.

"I see, but that's not the reason I called you has decide to stop being a Superhero," Batman explained, as everyone's eyes widen in surprise including Superman.

"Why?I thought he like being a little scout." Barry said.

"His reason are of his own but I wish to have his memories wiped just in case anyone ever learns he was Superboy and tries to use him." Batman said. Everyone sat in silence as the stared at the teen hero.

"Conner, are you sure you want this?" Dr. Fate asked.

"Yes," Conner lied as he closed his eyes. Dr. Fate walked over to him and prepared to wipe his looked back at Batman. "I'm sorry Batman but I can't do it," he said as his body began to shake violently and tears began streaming from his eyes. "They're my only memories and I'm going to keep them," Conner told him before he ran from the room to the Zeta platforms back to Mt. Justice. Batman let out a heavy sigh and began to follow the super teen but before he could, Superman grabbed his shoulder.

"What's going on, Bruce?" Clark asked.

"Conner, needs a father. That's what's going on," Batman snapped, pulling his shoulder from the hero's grip and following after Conner.
