Conner forced a dry laugh. “No one can help. Not anymore.” He sighed. “Thanks for offering though.” Maybe if I had just asked for help before, things wouldn’t have gone the way they did. Maybe he…

Taking calm, deep breaths, Conner tried not to cry.

[green-little-earth-girl]

“Hey,” she said softly, turning back around to sit on the corner of his bed. One hand tentatively landed on his shoulder, lightly. “Nothing’s impossible to fix,” because lies make everything better, “so maybe if you tell me what’s wrong I’ll do what I can. Okay?”

[evilkryptoboy-blog]

Conner laid there, debating on telling her or not. She'd figure it out eventually, if she hadn't already, so what good would it do keeping it from her? He mumbled softly, "Tiger's dead." He sighed and spoke up. "Unless you can bring him back to life..."

Stupid Wings

[disasterousbird]

Deciding to completely and utterly ignore Conner, he slowly stepped closer to the drawers and experimentally reached for the lowest handle. “C’mon…!” He grunted, moving to stand on his tip-toes, but it quickly became clear that he was too short to reach.

Too. Short.

Damnit!

“Fuck it! Fuck everything! What’s it gotta take to get back to normal again?!”

[evilkryptoboy-blog]

Conner snickered as he reached for the bag of chips again, "accidentally" knocking it onto the ground. Only a few fell out of the bag, the rest managed to stay inside. "Damn. Those were good chips too." He shrugged and made no move to pick them up. 

He wouldn't admit to doing that on purpose to give Robin something to eat. Never. But he was curious how the little fairy would look eating a chip that's about his size.

Finding Tiger

[darkspeedster-deactivated201405]

Wally kicked one of the guards right in the jaw, enjoying the sound of it completely cracking. He wasn’t going to chew ever again, now that was for sure. The speedster smirked and was tempted to have a little fun, but hearing Superboy going ballistic around him made that kind of hard.

He groaned, heard the clone address him, but he had no chance to answer before Conner was already going out on his own again, looking for his beloved pet. It made the redhead frown. All this fuzz over a tiger?

Granted, Conner always seemed to like animals far more than he liked humans, but wasn’t this taking it a bit too far? Oh well, maybe Wally would get the chance to snatch some cash in this facility. It obviously was something big going on her.

The speedster followed Conner inside. They weren’t exactly a dream-team. Both were more of the physical I’m-going-to-kill-you-with-my-own-hands kind of guys. They simply weren’t mission planners. That was Kaldur and Robin’s job for a reason. Although Wally had lots of brains, he was still not a strategist.

“Dude, just get the animal and let’s get out of here. This place is way too big to be the HQ of some small ass fish. For all we know some of the bigger super villains are lurking around in here and as much as I hate to admit it we’re outnumbered and we’re not going to win if this keep up,” Wally said.

He so should’ve stayed at home.

[evilkryptoboy-blog]

"What do you think I'm trying to do?!" He hissed out as he glared at Wally. "If you couldn't tell, it's a huge place and-" Turn head to the side while talking and there's Tiger. Conner's eyes widened as he saw a few strong men dragging out Tiger and dropping him in the middle of a strange looking ring. Various machines and tools were scattered around.

Narrowing his eyes as he took in the scene before him, he froze. Not in fear, but in pure anger and rage. He was about to jump over and rip all of their heads off when Tiger weakly lifted his head up and glanced in his direction. A soft whimper came from the beast as scientists closed in, quickly working to hook him up to some of the stuff. 

"Dammit. I'm going in."

Outnumbered or not, it didn't matter. He was gonna do this. He would do anything for Tiger. 

He growled as he charged, fists flying, begging for contact with anything and everything.

[green-little-earth-girl]

A frown creased Megan’s face, and somewhere genuine concern shyly raised its head. He looked awful, and the general emotion he was projecting felt even worse. Suddenly wary of making any noise, just in case she startled him like a frightened animal, her feet lifted off the ground and she floated the rest of the way to his room. One hand stopped the door from sliding shut in her face, and exaggeratedly worried doe eyes bore into him from the other side of his doorframe. “…I can get you something easier to eat, if you’re having trouble.”

[evilkryptoboy-blog]

Conner shook his head and put the rest of the sandwich on the nightstand. “I’m not really hungry.” He laid down on the bed and covered himself with his blankets, curling himself into a ball as he turned away from the door and hugged his pillow.

[green-little-earth-girl]

Giving up on the smaller attempts at cheering Conner up, at least for the moment, Megan sighed and turned as if she were getting ready to leave. (She wasn’t; this was a project now.)

“Are you sure you can’t tell me what’s wrong? Maybe I can help.”

[evilkryptoboy-blog]

Conner forced a dry laugh. "No one can help. Not anymore." He sighed. "Thanks for offering though." Maybe if I had just asked for help before, things wouldn't have gone the way they did. Maybe he...

Taking calm, deep breaths, Conner tried not to cry.

Finding Tiger

[darkspeedster-deactivated201405]

Wally couldn’t say it surprised him that Conner snapped and just went on a rampage before his eyes. And yet, he really wished the clone had given him at least a moment to inform him how his pet tiger was in a cage, and how he was suddenly just going to throw himself into a sea of guards with guns and caged animals.

Sighing, the redhead knew he would have to help his teammate now. He was already involved and that was his own fault for following Conner out here. Besides, Wally West had some pride, and leaving a comrade behind like this would surely bruise it.

Thus the speedster dove into action as well.

He ran and knocked out guards as he went, not bothering with fatal hits seeing as they took up too much time and Conner seemed like he was in the mood to kill everyone himself, really. Instead Wally just concentrated on disarming them and kicking them to the ground so that they stayed unconcious

Maybe he should’ve just stayed at home.

Sigh.

[evilkryptoboy-blog]

It didn't take long at all to kill or subdue most of the guards. Conner had been so focused on revenge that he completely lost track of where Tiger had gone. It was a stupid, rookie move, but his anger took control and clouded his mind.

"Dammit. Kid! Do you see Tiger anywhere?" Conner wasn't even sure where the speedster was at the moment. He really needed to start planning things out better. "I'm going in!" 

He smashed through the nearest wall, not even looking for an entrance. "Tiger?!" He looked around the dark room, trying to determine what was a cage with an animal and what was just a box. "Hang on, Tiger.." he muttered, mainly to himself as he started checking around the room. "I'm gonna get you out of here and we're gonna go home. I promise. Everything's gonna be okay."

[evilkryptoboy-blog]

Conner muttered something as he passed her, planning on ignoring her completely. His blanket fell off of his head to around his shoulders, showing his pale face with dark circles under his eyes. He opened his door and went inside the dark room, forcing himself to eat a bite of the sandwich as he sat on his bed.

[evilkryptoboy-blog]

Conner left his room for the first time in days, wrapped in a blanket, covering all but his eyes. He quietly walked into the kitchen, grabbed half of a sandwich from the fridge and a bottle of water then went back into his room.

[green-little-earth-girl]

Wait, could that be-? Superboy was out of his room, finally? Some dusty older sibling instinct made her follow him down the hallway when he passed, and she flipped through a few ideas of what she could do to make him feel better. But first. “Hi, Conner,” she greeted quietly, sympathetically. “How are you feeling?”

Finding Tiger

[darkspeedster-deactivated201405]

Wally wasn’t sure how to react when Conner touched his shoulder and then, well, squeezed it. He still wasn’t overly fond of being touched by anyone but Robin. However, he let it slide and instead paid attention to Superboy informing about… Tiger? Wally hadn’t even been aware he’d been missing

Frowning, the speedster glanced over at the guys that were unloading the… animals in cages. Okay, confusing. Why would anyone need a Siberian Tiger anyway? Except for Conner who had an unusual taste in pets.

“Well, dude. Since yeah, I am in fact already here then I’m coming with you,” the speedster said quietly, stubbornly staying by the Kryptonian’s side. “I mean, you may need some backup. Besides, I was bored.”

Smirking, the speedster slowly sneaked past the taller male. He brought his hands up and moved his goggles in front of his eyes, switching to infra-red. Either the boss around here was making a zoo, or something really fishy was going on. Wally’s curiosity was henceforth perked.

He found himself raising an eyebrow as his eyes landed on one cage in particular. “Umm… Supey… is that… him?”

[evilkryptoboy-blog]

Conner's eyes widened and he looked out over the scene before them. "Where?" He barely got the word out when he saw the cage. That was Tiger alright. He couldn't help but feel like something was off about this, but just knowing that Tiger was locked in a cage right in front of him made him furious.

All plans and previous thoughts just went straight out the window as he ran ahead, taking a huge leap to clear the distance faster. He growled and nearly screamed as he got closer. Every single one of them would die for taking and torturing Tiger, even if he had no proof that Tiger had been tortured at all.

As he landed, he punched one of the guards square in the jaw, taking the gun from him and easily snapping it in half like a twig. "Who's next?" He was fuming, too mad to even rip off his shirt. 

And that's saying something.

Merry Christmas! Have a wonderful, excellent, ridiculously happy holiday.

"Yeah. Merry Christmas, Megan."

(( Merry Christmas to you too, duuuuude! :D And have awesome vacation fun times! ))

[evilkryptoboy-blog]

"Conner! Do you know what size you are?" Megan took a step back and made a humming noise. "And how do you feel about the color green?"

"I'm not sure. Maybe a large?" He shrugged and crossed his arms. "Green's an okay color. What's with these weird questions?"

[evilkryptoboy-blog]

Finding Tiger

[evilkryptoboy-blog]

His eyes narrowed to dangerously thin slits. “Go home, Kid. I don’t need you following me around. I have things to do.” He raised a hand and pointed it away. “Scram.”

Conner crossed his arms and turned around, closing his eyes and listening again, drowning out any sounds or one-way conversation Wally was having or not. Sometimes it seemed like the speedster just wouldn’t shut up. He thought he heard some kind of door slamming in the distance. It could’ve just been a chunk of wood falling from one of the decrepit buildings, but it had a slight ring to it. Definitely some sort of automobile, probably a truck given the area.

It took more willpower than he knew he had to keep from leaping and running straight for the sound. With a half-walk, half jog, he made his way closer to the sound, not caring if Wally was following him or not now. He needed answers and he needed them now.

Pressing himself against the building, he peeked around the corner, watching some masked men with guns order around some delivery men. This was definitely something bad, but unless it involved Tiger, it was none of his concern.

[darkspeedster-deactivated201405]

Wally frowned lightly. Not that he wasn’t used to Conner being a stick-in-the-mud, but he was being harsher than usual. The redhead raised a silent eyebrow at the scram comment — he didn’t actually think he would be leaving him alone, did he? — but soon Conner was heading off again and the redhead followed swiftly.

The clone could move fast — he would give him that — but Wally was faster so keeping up when Conner didn’t bother if he did or not was easy. He speeded after the clone and stopped only when he did.

The glare he got wasn’t exactly welcoming, but Wally was already here and there was no way he would miss out on some action. He smirked. “Dude, we’re teammates. I’ll help you out with… whatever you’re planning on doing.” As he said so Wally tilted his head to the side and observed the men with masks and guns.

“… Though some filling in would be appreciated.”

[evilkryptoboy-blog]

Conner turned to glare at Wally and pushed him back a few steps, making sure to get them both out of view enough so the men couldn't see or hear them, causing him to miss the first cage-crate they unloaded from the truck. The one with an unconscious Tiger in it.

He spoke softly, a harsh underlying tone of anger in his voice. "If you're not going to leave, you'd better not get in the way." He pointed a thumb over his shoulder. "I think those guys might have something pretty important." He glanced down debating on whether to tell him about Tiger or not.

Taking a slow breath, Conner squeezed Wally's shoulder. "If these are the guys, they have Tiger." He looked over his shoulder just in time to see the guys going back to the truck for the next animal to unload. "As soon as I find out what they're unloading, I'm either going in or moving on."

He crossed his arms again and moved back to see better. A few of the guys went in the truck and started wheeling out what looked like a baby elephant.

Stupid Wings

[evilkryptoboy-blog]

Conner sat on the couch and couldn’t help but listen to where Robin was going and what he was doing. He tried to look as “I don’t care” as possible as he watched, mainly listened to the acrobat enter the kitchen. He smirked and turned back toward the TV, one arm crossed, the other reaching out to pet Tiger on the head.

But Tiger wasn’t there, he realized as his hand hovered in the air at his side. He crossed his arms again and went to the kitchen opening to keep his mind off of worrying.

[disasterousbird]

Once there, Robin stared up at the kitchen counter, only now realizing just how far up it actually was. …Hm. This might prove more troublesome than he thought. He shot a glance back at his wings again, which is when he noticed Conner standing in the kitchen entrance.

“…What? You gonna stand there and hope I screw up again or something?”

[evilkryptoboy-blog]

“Nope. Just watching.” Conner carefully stepped over Robin and grabbed a bag of chips from one of the cupboards. He opened it and started munching as he leaned against the counter. “Good luck with that.”

[disasterousbird]

“Gee, thanks,” Robin replied sarcastically and rolled his eyes, eyeing Conner with an annoyed scowl for a second, before turning his attention back to the counter. Maybe he could climb up there by using the handles on the drawers…?

[evilkryptoboy-blog]

"No problem." Conner muttered as he ate another small handful of chips. He wasn't hungry at all, but he knew he should probably eat something. After all, he hadn't had anything to eat since at least yesterday, not that he was keeping track.

Now that he can at least say he ate, he put the rest of the bag on the counter and crossed his arms again.

[evilkryptoboy-blog]

Finding Tiger

[darkspeedster-deactivated201405]

Wally had followed Conner for far longer than the speedster had — to be honest — expected him to. By now it had become obvious that Conner was about to do something big and the fact that he changed clothes for this big thing to happen made it clear that he didn’t want anyone to know.

Least of all follow him.

The speedster wasn’t about to stop now though. He’d come this far and his teammate really didn’t seem like he was going to figure out he was there anytime so-

“I know you’re there! Show yourself!”

… Spoke too soon.

Wally stood up, his stealth suit hiding him fairly well, but he knew Conner would recognize that fiery red hair, so he simply crossed his arms over his chest and grinned. “Okay, so you got me. But what did you expect? You were sneaking around, so I decided to do some sneaking back.”

The redhead shrugged. “No shame in that, right?”

[evilkryptoboy-blog]

His eyes narrowed to dangerously thin slits. "Go home, Kid. I don't need you following me around. I have things to do." He raised a hand and pointed it away. "Scram."

Conner crossed his arms and turned around, closing his eyes and listening again, drowning out any sounds or one-way conversation Wally was having or not.

Finding Tiger

One final glance around his room and he was ready to go. Conner grabbed the crinkled photo of him and Tiger and sighed deeply as he flipped it over. He took the pen on his nightstand and wrote a little note on the back of the photo.

Going on a solo mission. Don’t try to contact me. If I don’t come back, it was nice interesting hanging with you guys.

Setting the pen and note on his bed, he wiped at his eye, trying to force the tears that threatened to fall back in. He took a couple deep breaths and with a determined look, left the mountain to find his buddy.

[darkspeedster-deactivated201405]

Wally had left Robin to work on his… whatever the current project was. Although Wally loved Dick so much it hurt (and he knew the feeling was mutual) there were these times where the acrobat clearly wanted to be left to his work.

He hadn’t planned to do much the rest of the evening. Maybe just nap beside Robin while he tapped his fingers over the keyboard as if he was trying to abuse it. But then he saw Superboy, and he felt his eyebrows furrowing.

Supey looked… stiff, different.

Wally was about to speak up, ask him where he was going, but decided against it. Maybe it would be better to… follow? Practice some stealth. It did sound like a good idea.

Now, where was the clone going, hmm?

[evilkryptoboy-blog]

Once Conner was in the city, he went to a clothing shop and bought himself a new outfit. Actually, the outfit wasn't much different than the one he had before he went in there, just a slight color change. He didn't want to risk having some kind of tracker on him from his old clothes. He was going to do this alone, even if it killed him.

He dropped the bag with his clothes off at the nearest park then made his way to an abandoned part of town. It was quiet and he knew he had to be on edge. Stopping and closing his eyes, he listened for something specific. Any kinds of animal noises at all. Those would take him to where he wanted to go.

Those would help him find Tiger.

He just started to walk again when he heard something behind him. He turned and glared towards the shadows, hands forming tight fists. "I know you're there. Show yourself!"
