You know the deal by now I beat- I mean SPOILERS S02E10 in comments

[sixyearsold]

 I knew something like this would happen and I didn't stop it.

I knew Kaldur would never do the things we accused him of doing and I still doubted him. In a way, all of this is my fault.

So sorry if I'm not exactly glad you've decided to pick me up once more. I'm... really not feeling the aster right now.

Dude, there's plenty of things that we all could have done different. I mean, this wouldn't have happened if we didn't deceive you guys in the first place.

[Last thing he wants is for you to be feeling guilty about a mess they created.]

[sixyearsold]

It was a good plan in theory. It kind of went downhill in action.

I still feel guilty. There's so many things I should have done differently.

[wallyiswally]

That's an understatement.

[He shakes his head and releases a heavy sigh.]

I'm sorry, Conner. About lying to you and what happened to the cave. I'm just... sorry about everything.

[sixyearsold]

Me, too. It's gonna be hell to fix all this.

[wallyiswally]

That's even if we're able to fix it at all.

[sixyearsold]

I think things won't ever be as they were... but we've been through worse. We can at least do our best.

[peckish4action]

Way less your fault than mine, Superboy.

But you being picked up again means we might find some way of fixing... something. Until we're allowed to know more.

[sixyearsold]

[A warning growl.]

I'm not happy about- being lied to, being used to make a cover more believable and almost losing sphere to the explosion that destroyed my first home.

But I can't just put the blame on you and pretend nothing I did made things worse.

[peckish4action]

Understandable. I'm... sorry.

But you at least tried to talk to her.

[sixyearsold]

For all the good it did. You're... right though, I guess.

We have to fix this. We must.

[peckish4action]

We must, and we will. I'll... try to make up for the deception so we'll be able to do it all together.

[sixyearsold]

We fix this first, you apologize later.

[By which he means to say that saying he'll try to make up for it isn't enough. If there's something Superboy loathes is being lied to, being manipulated.

But Dick is his friend, and they all make mistakes.]

[peckish4action]

Fair enough.

*Oh, Dick is ready to accept the consequences for his actions. So long as they are on him, not on his friends. Never on them. If... he can help it.*

[hasnomentor]

Come on, ese. You couldn't have known. None of us did. Don't blame yourself.

[sixyearsold]

I should have known something was off. I should have trusted Kaldur.

[hasnomentor]

You can't just say you should have. You didn't. You were fooled like the rest of us, ese. There wasn't anything else to really believe.

[sixyearsold]

I have to blame someone. It might as well be me.

[hasnomentor]

You can't blame yourself if you did nothing wrong, ese.

[sixyearsold]

A little too late for that. I can only try to fix the mess now.

[hasnomentor]

You don't have to try and fix it alone, ese. We're a team.

[sixyearsold]

You seem to trust our team a lot for someone who recently joined it.

[hasnomentor]

We're the good guys, ese. If we can't trust each other, who can we trust?
