Trying out a new muse.

[an_abomination]

Yeah, I'm sure there are going to be plenty of people who'd rather not see me around. Welcome to the story of my life. No one wants to tell me the truth and just about every girl I've met wants to kill me.

Maybe I should go back to setting Christmas trees on fire. People might have freaked out them but at least they didn't zoom away from me like I was the plague.

Who drops that kind of bomb on a guy and then leaves without answering a single question?

--Setting Christmas trees on fire? Conner, what the hell?

[an_abomination]

It's not like they can't find another tree somewhere else. [Not really sure what to make of the whole Conner business. He-did- hit the guy really hard. Maybe it's messing with his memory.]

[Looks him over.] I'm glad you're okay. You were right, you guys didn't deserve any of that.

[peektuttut]

[Quickly heading toward chinscratch territory. Something is superbly off here, but this isn't what Tim would suspect of a Luthor!controlled Conner, and that would be his first guess.]

One, I'm always right. Two...what are you talking about?

[an_abomination]

Okay, wow. I think I hit you so hard I literally gave you amnesia. You don't remember anything about New Year's Eve?

[peektuttut]

Same old, same old. Except for you hitting me, I definitely don't remember the last time that happened. Are you feeling all right?

[ Another Superboy? ] You're not doing a great job of selling yourself, you know. [ Maybe he's not trying to though. ]

[an_abomination]

Wonder Girl. [Huh, she is not angry like he was expecting her to be. Maybe this is another one of those time/universe things.]

I don't care about trying to "sell myself". [He has enough people who want control of him for all the wrong reasons.]

[championofares]

[ Cassie gives him a curious look with a raised eyebrow while she tries to figure out his greeting. The first thing that runs through her mind is that Conner's doppelganger and her's probably didn't get along well. Somehow that seems worse than no Wonder Girl at all. Cassie doesn't care though. ]


So, what are you doing? Trying to make sure people won't like you? [ She asks in a casual way. If the first part of what he said didn't do the trick, talking about setting Christmas trees on fire probably did. ]

[an_abomination]

No, I'm just saying that if people don't like me, it won't be anything new. I've tried the whole being friendly approach with someone and that didn't end so well.

[championofares]

So you gave up after one try?

[nottheswanqueen]

Making yourself the victim would work so much better if you hadn't nearly killed my whole team.

[an_abomination]

Nearly, but I didn't. I'm not trying to be any victim, but it would be nice if someone would give me a break for once.

[nottheswanqueen]

Did you give us a break? Did you give me a break when you hit all my synapses? Did you give Kid Flash a break when you made him run at the speed of thought?

Ever heard of the golden rule?

[an_abomination]

What rule is that?

[nottheswanqueen]

Treat others like you want to be treated. If you want to be given a break, give us one.

If you want to stop being treated like a weapon, stop acting like one.

[Who does? She does.]

....

[She's still not sure what to make of him either, but she's fairly certain talking to him would be a waste of air. Not that she seems to need a huge amount of the stuff anymore, but that's not the point.]

[So Kara's going to say anything, she'll just isd floating over here some distance away. She knows Kon-El can see her so if he approaches her she may or may not give him the time of day. If she doesn't just try to punch his face in again. Sorry Superboy.]

[an_abomination]

[Looks around as he hears something off in the distance. It doesn't take him too long to spot her and fly over to her. But he's on his guard, he reaaallly doesn't want to get punched by her again.]

Are you actually going to answer some of my questions this time, or just fly off again?

[kneewindows]

Speak your questions, Kon-El.

[Though from the look in her eyes it's obvious that she promises no answers. Not for someone like him anyway.]

[an_abomination]

My name isn't Kon-El, it's Superboy. I want to know more about the clones and what "fate awaits me".

[kneewindows]

[She almost corrects him about the whole Kon-El thing and exactly what it means, but in the end she does not. She almost feels sorry for the clone after all, so she might as well humor it in this small thing.]

Fine, Superboy. What more do you need to know?

[As far as Kara is concerned, it's pretty cut and dry.]

From an AU where he was a founding Titan. And also Superman's not-sidekick

[arach_nerd]

Kon? Why do you have Bieber-hair?

Gotcha!

[an_abomination]

What are you talking about?

Re: Gotcha!

[arach_nerd]

Lemme put it this way kid: you look like Cadmus designed you to appeal to the preteen girl demographic.

[an_abomination]

Do yourself a favor and don't call me kid again.

[arach_nerd]

Tell ya what, I'll stop as soon as you stop using Superboy as a codename.
