Plotted starter with @thesparedemontwin

Kon liked to think he was pretty smart. He had been the quickest learner out of the test tube. Not that there was much competition.

He might not know how to do trigonometry but he knew his stuff when it came to rebranding. He still knew when he was beat. Young Justice had hit a major snag. They had all expected Tim to know what to do, and he did… sort of. He happened to have just the person.

Kon wasn’t expecting him to bring his little sister in. He could have made a joke about bringing Jon in too. Instead, he greeted her with a quick nod. She was his expert on all things poison, apparently.

Not knowing how to start this, Kon looked at the files Tim carried with him. “So, back to square one?”

The only sound that escapes Dahlia is a sharp breath in before she holds onto him tightly, pressing her face into his neck to protect her eyes and face from the wind as they fly. She’s heard from her brothers that if she’s ever flown by someone at high speeds to keep her eyes closed and face protected so she doesn’t get windburn. She wraps her good arm around his shoulders, keeping her injured one tucked between them protectively. She gives him a nod to signal she’s ready to get out of there as soon as he is.

@s-isfor-superboy

Kon is bringing them halfway around the world in seconds. She already had her face covered, vaguely he worried about other exposed skin. Possibly irritated from the high speed.

Either way it’ll get taken care of. He’s bringing her down in a Gotham based hospital in no time. One specifically for heroes - so theoretically there won’t be any unwelcome questions.

Dahlia takes one look at the hospital and clings to Kon a bit tighter. She doesn’t like hospitals, they remind her too much of being scrutinized and observed like she was back in the league when Ras would watch her training, judging her and always finding something wrong to punish her for. “T-Tompkins clinic. Take me there. She knows about Batman. She helps us.” She tells Kon, trying and failing to keep her voice from shaking. She just hopes he assumes it’s from blood loss and not fear, forgetting for a moment that he can hear her heartbeat and how it’s racing with fear like a jackrabbits.

“Tompkins… Tompkins…” his head swivels around. Looking carefully for any indicator of which way to go. Ultimately he can’t find one and Dahlia seems in no condition to act as his GPS.

He steps back, away from the doors of the hospital. She probably doesn’t have much time to get all this set right. “Y’gotta beacon or anything, D?” Any way to contact the family would be best. If she doesn’t have any - which he wouldn’t expect her to considering the league - then this hospital will be the best they can do.

Dahlia opens her mouth to speak and ends up coughing heavily, blood splattering her hand where she covers her mouth. She curses in Arabic before giving him an address in the Bowery. “Sorry, you’ll want to clean your uniform after this.”

“Let’s just keep you alive first,”

He zips to the address, depositing her on the bed when he’s let in. It’s like a switch is flipped and he’s playing second fiddle to Dr.Tompkins, repeating back information and explanations.

As she gets to work he stays by Dahlia’s side, keeping himself in plain sight. He tries not to cringe when his hand smears some of her blood. A stray drop on his jacket. He’s more concerned about her wellbeing over his appearance anyways.

Kon’s head snaps to attention every time the doctor begins his name. In record time they’ve got Dahlia bound. Bones painfully set, blood wiped away, Dr.Tompkins is still wrapping bandages around the more surface injuries. After the rush of activity, it goes quiet. Kon half expects Dahlia to pass out now that the adrenaline is winding down.

Dr. Tompkins is no nonsense ordering Kon around and instructing him to fetch her supplies and hold dahlias leg steady while she wraps and sets her injuries. Once she finishes she gives dahlia some strong painkillers and says she’s going to go inform Batman that Dahlia is here and leaves her alone with Kon.

Dahlia is leaned back on a pillow on the hospital bed set up so she’s sitting up. She looks exhausted and pale but not quite like she’s about to keel over anymore.

She looks at Kon and gives a weak smile, “hey, thank you, for all of this, for saving me, getting me to the clinic and helping the doctor patch me up. I’m sure you’re probably wondering what went wrong.”

“I think I’ve got a decent guess,” he joked. He doesn’t need thanks for saving her, he’d do it regardless. He’s just glad he got there in time.

Kon can’t help keeping an ear on her heart rate, it’s calmed down considerably. “If you want to sleep, you can. I’ll stay here at least until B and Red come.”

“I figured you at least deserve an explication for why you had to fly halfway around the world. Ras discovered I’ve not been living in the shadows as Robin’s weapon and I’ve been living as my own person,” dahlia explains with a sigh

"Well," the urge for some sort of 'I told you so' was a hard one to force down. That wasn't what she needed to hear right now. "I figured something like that had happened. I'm just glad you called, glad I could get to you in time."

He sat back in his chair, looking around the room and avoiding her gaze. "Does this mean you have a target on your back now? Can't imagine he'll just let you get away."

“Probably. They’ll want to retrain me or kill me. I’m honestly shocked they haven’t detonated the bomb in my head. Perhaps it does something else. “ she says reaching back and idly stroking the spot where she can feel the scar on the back of her head from the implant.

“…yeah,” Kon wasn’t sure how to respond to that. She said it so casually, like her potential death didn’t mean much in the long run.

“Maybe it’s a dud? But uh - after this I’d imagine the bats have some protocol for hiding you around?” His eyes flicked to his wrist, like he had ever worn a watch.

Dahlia makes a face as if only just now remembering her family. “Fuck. They’re going to freak out. Damian is gonna be pissed and yell at Lady Tahlia and the Demon’s head and dick is gonna get all protective. Jason’s gonna say he told me so about going back and Tim’s gonna get all paranoid again. I don’t even wanna think about what cass Nd Bruce are gonna do,” she groans rubbing her face. “Can I just hide out on the Kent farm for a couple of weeks till it blows over and they forget?” She asks half joking

Kon offers a laugh at that. “We’re always happy to have you at the farm, but cmon they’d tear the place apart looking for you.”

He sat back in his chair, trying not to cross his arms. He could hear footsteps and grapples making their way closer to the room anyways.

“Tell them if you need ‘em to back off a bit. They’ll be pissed on your behalf but they just want to make sure you’re okay.”

“You don’t get it Kon. I’m the baby of the family in their eyes. Damian’s poor twin who was raised as a weapon and not a person, who didn’t even know what a hug felt like until I was twelve. They’re going to be INSUFFERABLE!” She groans in frustration though there’s definitely fondness in her voice as she continues talking about her family.

“Dick is going to want to tear Lady Tahlias head clean off her shoulders more than he already does. Jason’s gonna wanna put a bullet between Ras’ eyes. God knows what Tim will do. You know how unhinged he can get when people he cares about are threatened,” she says chuckling at the memory of some of Tim’s more…..eccentric revenges.

“Did I ever tell you that once Damian messed up his files by accident and he made it so that every electronic device Damian used for the next three days played Baby Shark every single time he tried to use it. He even changed his alarm clock.”

Kon fondly nodded at the idea, of course Tim would. "Sounds like him. But seriously! They care about you a lot. They'll be upset on your behalf and maybe a bit totally insufferable, it's just how they show their love. Isn't it?"

As if on queue the doors to the little room were thrown open, bats flooding the small entrance. Kon nodded to them as they did what he assumed was a sweep of the room. When prompted he vacated his seat, lingering back towards the door.

He was glad Dahlia was alright but he was sure the bats would want to talk without him present. He gave her a supportive thumbs up from behind them all.

Dahlia grabs Kon’s sleeve and gives him a look that clearly reads as ‘please don’t leave’. As soon as her family is assured the room is secure dahlia is wrapped up in one of Nightwing’s octopus hugs as she calls them.

“Are you okay? What happened? Did Ras do this? I’m gonna kill him!” Dick says his words going nearly as fast as Impulse when he’s running.

Batman stands beside the bed putting a hand on my shoulder and asks firmly, “what happened?”

I sigh half frustrated, half fond, “the Demon’s head and Lady Tahlia learned somehow that I’ve been neglecting my duties as Damian’s shield and haven’t been living as his servant. They wanted to ‘retrain’ me. They also figured out I was there to investigate a poisoning I was looking into for Young Justice. I called Superboy to get me out since I knew he’d be listening since I was there for their team.” I explain

Kon gives a meek wave to the family, he’ll stay as long as Dahlia wants him to.

“Doc said she’d be alright, with enough rest of course. She should probably stay off her leg for a while- but uh- what with the league,”

He shrugged a bit. He wasn’t sure how much rest would be possible with the League of Assassins out to get you. Hopefully enough for Dahlia to get better without any lasting issues. When Batman turned his gaze on Kon he made sure not to shrink under it. He’d weathered a lot of stare downs from the man in the past.

Batman approaches Kon and puts a hand on his shoulder, “thank you for helping Dahlia escape the league and getting her to a doctor. I appreciate that you are a friend to her.”

“Stop getting all mushy, Father. It’s unbecoming,” Damian jokes as he takes a seat beside my bed.

I roll my eyes and sigh fondly, “thank you by the way, Kon. I don’t think I’ve thanked you for saving me yet.”

“Any superboy would’ve done it,” he couldn’t help the slight way he preened under the attention. Doing and being good, unsurprisingly, made him feel confident.

Getting marks from Batman of all people too… he was definitely going to hold this over Tim’s head. In a funny way.

He took post out of the way while the family caught up. Interjecting only to offer that Dahlia could come to the farm if they wanted her around supers. He knew the Bats were well equipped to take care of their own but offering couldn’t hurt.

Batman rejects the idea of me going to the farm. “Normally I’d be fine with it, but until we know if the league is going to come after her it’s better for Dahlia not to be around civilians too much,” he explains.

Dahlia gasps, her eyes widen, “oh my gods I didn’t even think of that. If I stayed at the farmhouse they wouldn’t hesitate to kill ma or pa Kent to get to me.”

Batman nods his head. “It’s safer for everybody if you stick to only being around people in the hero community who can defend themselves until we confirm if the league is going to chase you. You should be careful too Superboy. We don’t know if the league knows it was you who helped Dahlia escaped them, so they might try to come after you.”

“we were outta there in a flash, I’d be shocked if they knew. But you’re probably right,”

No sense in risking Ma or Pa. Of course, to be sure that meant Superboy couldn’t go home to them. His mind drifted, maybe he could spend time with Lex. He was sort of able to defend himself, being a supervillain.

“How will you know if- when- the league is coming? Or when they’re not?”

“Never underestimate the League of assassins. You’d be amazed at how much they’re able to pick up on. It’s not to Batman’s level but it’s still extremely impressive,” Tim warns Kon.

Dahlia nods in agreement, “yeah a son you were in that room with me. I’m pretty sure every room in that place has some sort of surveillance.”

He cringed at that. Definitely couldn’t go home then. Kon’s body swayed to the side, stepping closer to his friend. His mind kept drifting even as he spoke.

“So, Dahlia’s set here with you guys. She’ll be safe. I’m always on call, like usual. What comes next?”

As fun as being absorbed into the family would be, Kon didn’t want to be running his entire life. There had to be a way to shake the league. Being in constant fear of what was around the corner would be awful for the Superboy brand.

“Well you could stay at the Young justice base or the manor until we figure out how much the league knows.” Tim suggests looking to Batman for confirmation. Batman nods, “you’re welcome at the manor so long as you’re careful and avoid the press. They’ve been around the manor more lately because of dahlia and Damian being in a recent art showcase.”

“…avoid the press. Right. You’re totally talking to the right guy for that,”

There was no heat behind the words but sarcasm didn’t stick to his voice either.

“Didn’t know they were in a showcase, that’s cool,” he mumbled aloud, bringing his hand up to cover his mouth slightly, running the pad of his finger over his lip while he thought.

“I gotta take a flight, clear my head. I’ll have to get back to you on where I’ll stay,”

“Be extremely careful to stay out of sight. The league of assassins is cunning and they could try to attack you while you’re flying. I don’t want to see you get hurt because you helped me,”

“Hey, I’m bulletproof” he tapped at his chest. “Not even of this world, I’ll be fine”

A near blatant lie but not one that mattered too much. He just hoped it provided some comfort as he tried to get out. He would make sure to give himself extra TTK padding though. Not just for Dahlia’s comfort.

“That’s a lie and we all know it. Just be safe and try to stay out of sight until we know if the league is going to come after you. Hopefully they’ll focus their efforts on chasing me and not you since I know their secrets.”

“You know I’m always a shout away,” He gave her a quick nod. With nothing more to say, Superboy took off to go process everything that had happened.

He would end up at the YJ headquarters, at least temporarily. It was almost as comfortable as home and the next best option.

Tim arrives a few days later with a healing Dahlia in tow. “Hey, Kon. We’ve decided that until we know if Dahlia is being hunted, having her stay here at the YJ HQ would be smartest. Since the league knows about Wayne manor and the titans tower, but not about this base,” Tim explains helping me tot he couch in the rec room.

I give a crooked grin to Kon, “looks like we’ll be roomies for a bit.”

“Oh heck yeah! We’re gonna have so much fun.” Now having a few days to himself, Kon is feeling much better.

He gets right to it, giving an abridged tour to Dahlia. He’s sure that Tim will go over it all anyways. “The rooms are down that way but honestly a lot of the time we just make a fort or pass out on the couch-“ it’s a lot easier now. Last time they saw each other was in a high stakes situation. Now, it’s just hanging out in a secret headquarters.

Dahlias leg is in a cast and she’s still pretty bandaged up but she’s definitely looking better than she was when he last saw her at the hospital. She looks so much more relaxed than she did then or even in the meeting where Tim first introduced her to the team.

“So are you the only one who’s living on the base right now?” She asks settling into the couch with a sigh

“Consistently, yeah. The others all come through but I’m the only full timer.”

It would be nice to have someone here consistently like himself. The base was huge when you were alone, getting it filled again would be a blessing. Plus he could get better at the multiplayer games with Dahlia here!

“Well, I’ll be here for the next few weeks at least. The league doesn’t know about this place so Bruce thought it’d be best if I stayed here with you rather than at the manor. He’ll be stopping by to check on me and so will Tim. But that’s normal Tim loves spending time here. He’s always smiling when he gets home from visiting you here.”

Dahlia tells him a big smile on her own face. She’s excited at the chance to get to know Kon better

“Oh does he now?” Kon made sure to file that information away into his ‘tease tim’ folder.

“Bruce had the right idea having you come by. The league isn’t getting anywhere near here. Uh-“ he looked around, knocking on the center table in the media room, “knock on wood. — So, what do you want to do? need help settling in or anything?”

“Maybe you could give me a tour so I know my way around. That way I don’t get lost,” I suggest after thinking for a moment. “Tim and Jason will be over later to bring some of my stuff for me to use while I’m here so I don’t have anything right now except the stuff in my backpack but I’d like to see more of the base. I’ve only been here twice before and I’ve never gotten the chance to explore it.

“Got it!!” Kon had a jump in his step as he turned around, staying off the ground just a second longer than a normal person would. He started talking, filling the silence between them as he walked Dahlia around the base.

Plotted starter with @poweredbyzestiandspite !

———

Kon fluffed his flannel, fussing with it and checking out his reflection. He wanted to look good for this. He wanted to be impressive. It was funny but he wanted Bernard to like him. He wanted to like the guy too. Tim asked for them to meet and Kon knew Bernard was important to him. Important enough to cut down on time with the team.

He finished gluing down a fake eyebrow piercing, grabbed his glasses and bracelet, and flew out.

Tim looks up when he hears the bell jingle at the door and beams when he sees his best friend entering. His heard does a little jump at how good Kon looks. He raises his hand and waves Kon over.

Once Kon is sat down opposite him Tim introduces the blond sitting besides him. “Kon, I’m so glad you could make it. This is my boyfriend, Bernard Dowd. Bern, this is my best friend Conner Kent, but he goes by Kon. I’ve been really excited to introduce you two. Oh and don’t worry about keeping our jobs a secret, Bernard is in the loop about all that.”

Their jobs referring to them being hero’s.

He nods to Tim before holding a hand out to Bernard, “Conner, Kon, or Superboy if you’re a fan.” He winks at the Bernard, lowering his voice just a bit for his cape name.

“It’s really nice to meet you. Tim’s pretty, uh, smitten. He’s happy when he talks about you and all that,”

His eyes dart between the two of them before zeroing in on Bernard.

Bernard laughs as he shakes Kon’s offered hand. “I’ll stick with Kon I think. It’s got a certain flair to it that fits you well,” he says winking back at him.

“Oh really? You wax poetic about me to all your buddies,” Bernard says teasingly to Tim who turns bright red.

“N-no! I just mention stuff like our dates,” Tim tries to counter, clearly flustered

“Oh he definitely does. Wouldn’t tell us your name for weeks, leaving early so he can get ready for dates, getting all lovey about it when you’d text him…”

He starts counting off instances on his fingers, looking up at the ceiling as he tries to recall them. Trailing off he turned his attention to Tim, any chance to mess with him was a good one. And this was a good way to get on Bernard’s nice side as well.

“Well, maybe not ‘waxing poetic’… it was more in his actions than his words.”

Tim looks utterly betrayed at Kon throwing him under the bus. “You ass,” he says with a pout kicking Kon’s shin under the table.

Bernard just laughs, a beaming smile covering his face. “Awe don’t be mad at him. I think it’s really cute,” he comforts Tim leaning over to kiss his cheek.

Tim relaxes at that and gives a gentle smile back at Bernard. It’s easy to see how utterly smitten Tim is with the blonde.

Kon snickers about it, kicking back lightly. It ends up being more of a nudge than a kick to Tim’s leg.

While they get closer with each other he takes a look at the diner menu. “Did you guys order anything yet?”

“Not yet, we were waiting for yo-“ Tim is cut off by a frantic beeping in his pocket. He pulls out his phone and his face falls. “Shit, family emergency.” He says in a tone that lets Kon and Bernard both know it’s a bat thing he can’t get out of.

Bernard reaches over and squeezes Tim’s hand. “go babe. Kon and I are fine to have dinner just us. You go be amazing,” he encourages

“Let me know if you guys need any help,” he offered. He knew they probably wouldn’t take him up on it but he always offered. He pulled on his earring, watching Tim pack up to go. It might be a bit awkward to start but he liked Bernard. He was sure they could hang out without any issues.

“Nah you know Dad’s rule, no metas in Gotham. But I’ll tell for you if that changes. I’ll try to meet up with you both after at the houseboat. Oh and lunch is on me,” Tim says leaving his card with Bernard before kissing Bernard and patting Kon’s shoulder as he heads out.

Bernard watches him go and smiles gently. Once Tim’s gone he turns and looks at Kon, “so how long have you been in love with Tim?”

Kon laughs a bit. His brows furrowing as he blinks at Bernard, “w-what?”

In love with Tim? He had been a bit jealous when he and Bernard got together. But that was because of the loss of time to the team. He hadn’t ever looked at Tim like that.

Bernard smirks, “it’s kinda obvious. You and Tim have been in love with each other for years clearly, even if you haven’t realized it. I could tell even back in high school and didn’t know about Robin. I’d watch footage of young justice and it was clear as day that Robin and Superboy were in love.”

Kon shrugged, crossing his arms. This could get awkward. Bernard didn’t seem upset by the idea but Kon wasn’t prepared for any sort of reverse shovel talk.

“We’re best friends, we love each other the way that best friends do?”

“No need to be shy, I’m not upset. I’m happy in fact. Because I happen to think you’re hot as hell and I certainly wouldn’t say no to you joining me and Tim in our relationship.” Bernard says resting his head on his hands with a smile

It takes Kon longer than he’d like for the words to click. Happy. Hot as hell. Joining him and Tim. When it registers fully he gives a quiet ‘oh’, his ears burning. What’s better than one boyfriend…

“Can you even.. wait a second. You’re with Tim, and you want to also be with me? This is the first time we’re meeting.”

He squinted across the table at Bernard. Something here felt like a set up. Or maybe like Tim’s stalker behaviors were spreading.

“And this my dear boy is where I introduce you to a lovely thing known as Polyamory. We all have two hands. There’s no reason you Tim and I can’t be happy in a three way relationship. As for us just meeting you don’t have to give me an answer now. In fact I’d like it if you didn’t. Give it a few days, get to know me, think it over. I don’t wanna force you into this. If you do join Tim and I, I want it to be because you really want to, not just because you think it’ll make Tim or I happy. I just wanted to open your eyes to the possibility and let you know that if you want to give it a shot, I’m all for it.”

Bernard is gentle as he explains, staying calm and laying it out. As much as he really wants this for Tim and him, he would never force Kon into a relationship against his will.

“Okay… definitely gotta think on that one. Does Tim know you’re asking me?”

He can’t help but appreciate Bernard’s candor with this. Polyamory was definitely new to him, having seen it once in a drama-romantasy show Cissie made him watch. It seemed like it would be complicated. Fun, but definitely complicated.

“He knows that I have a thing for you and that I’m aware of his crush on you but he doesn’t know I’m asking. He doesn’t want to admit just how much he wants this. You know Tim, he doesn’t believe he can have nice things. So I’m taking the initiative Ont his.”

“Of course, yeah. He’s awful about that.” Kon rolls his eyes, thinking fondly on the few times Tim has ever let himself have something good.

“I will think about it and get back to you? When do you like, need an answer? Or want, I guess?”

“Take your time. It’s a big decision after all getting into a relationship, much less one with two people. Just maybe don’t take several months,” Bernard says with a chuckle.

“Anyway, let’s get some food. I’m starving and the smash burgers here are phenomenal.”

“Doesn’t hurt that our foods gonna be on Tim’s card. He can take a hit to his bank account, right?”

Kon is already eyeing a few things on the menu. He’ll bring leftovers back for Tim, stock his fridge and whatnot.

Bernard laughs at that, “that’s true, never thought I’d end up with a sugar daddy who’s actually younger than me,” he jokes.

The waiter comes and takes their orders before leaving them again

“So tell me about yourself, what do you usually do when you’re not being amazing and saving the world?”

“He seems like he’d be a good sugar daddy, like in that situation. — It’s mostly the hero thing. Outside of that I work on my grandparents farm, make brand deals, go out to galas. My day job is ‘Intern’ at Lexcorp or ‘agricultural worker’. The brand deals are technically still as superboy though.”

He sits back, thinking over his own information before continuing.

“When I’ve got time I’ll go out with my friends; Comic-Cons, concerts, whatever we can find. Big fan of Wendy the werewolf stalker and similar shows. And sitcoms are cool too!”

“Oh! I’ve watched some of that! It’s pretty good. Not my favorite show but definitely a fun one. What kind of music do you like?” Bernard asks genuinely interested in getting to know Kon. He’s someone whose incredibly important to Tim and even if Kon doesn’t join their relationship he wants them to be friends because he knows how important it is to Tim that two people he loves so much get along

“Not too picky on music genres. I like binaural music though. The kind you have to listen to on headphones, different tones happening at the same time. You?” Kon is enjoying himself, enjoying getting to know Bernard.

When the waiter comes back with their orders, Kon picks at his food. Enjoying it but more focused on making a new friend.

“Oh where you have to have both headphones to get the full song? I’ve heard of that. It’s really cool and it makes you feel like you’re inside the music. It must feel even more immersive if you’ve got enhanced senses like you do.” Bernard replies. He thanks the waitress and munches on his fries.

“So you live at the Kent’s farm mostly? Tim’s told me they’re really nice people, even told me ma Kent’s pies are to die for. I’m studying culinary arts and I’ve told him he needs to get me in touch with her so I can ask for her advice on baking. Pastry dough like pie crust are my biggest weakness.”

“A lot of the time yeah. They’re really sweet and he’s right, her pies are amazing. If you’ve got a favorite flavor then I’ll ask her to make one when the season comes around! — I’m sure she’d be happy to have you over. Next time Tim comes sneak on the jet.”

He was only half kidding about sneaking onto the jet. The idea of Tim finding a stowaway Bernard was funny. But the idea of having them both over was an appealing one.

“If you ever need a taste tester I love a good meal. Pastries or not.”

“Would Ma Kent be okay with an extra visitor? I’d hate to impose. Especially since she seems like such a lovely woman. I mean I imagine you’d have to be to raise men like Clark and you.” Bernard says with a smile.

“I’ve gotten to meet Clark once at a gala. Tim brought me as his plus one and Clark was one of the reporters. He was very polite. You really do look like what I imagine a younger him to look like but with a completely different style. I know you’re his clone and all but knowing and seeing the similarity is really different. I think I like you better though.” Bernard says as if he isn’t flirting openly

“Ma would love an extra visitor. She keeps asking me to bring Bart back and he almost wrecked the kitchen. Plus, who wouldn’t love having you around?”

He flirted back only lightly. Testing the waters, for now.

Hiiii do you…. Maybe have a pair of scissors? I… was in my seal form and got caught on something… I can’t get it off…

Kon liked to think he was pretty smart. He had been the quickest learner out of the test tube. Not that there was much competition.

Not knowing how to start this, Kon looked at the files Tim carried with him. “So, back to square one?”

@s-isfor-superboy

Kon is bringing them halfway around the world in seconds. She already had her face covered, vaguely he worried about other exposed skin. Possibly irritated from the high speed.

Either way it’ll get taken care of. He’s bringing her down in a Gotham based hospital in no time. One specifically for heroes - so theoretically there won’t be any unwelcome questions.

“Tompkins… Tompkins…” his head swivels around. Looking carefully for any indicator of which way to go. Ultimately he can’t find one and Dahlia seems in no condition to act as his GPS.

“Let’s just keep you alive first,”

He zips to the address, depositing her on the bed when he’s let in. It’s like a switch is flipped and he’s playing second fiddle to Dr.Tompkins, repeating back information and explanations.

Dahlia is leaned back on a pillow on the hospital bed set up so she’s sitting up. She looks exhausted and pale but not quite like she’s about to keel over anymore.

“I think I’ve got a decent guess,” he joked. He doesn’t need thanks for saving her, he’d do it regardless. He’s just glad he got there in time.

Kon can’t help keeping an ear on her heart rate, it’s calmed down considerably. “If you want to sleep, you can. I’ll stay here at least until B and Red come.”

He sat back in his chair, looking around the room and avoiding her gaze. "Does this mean you have a target on your back now? Can't imagine he'll just let you get away."

“…yeah,” Kon wasn’t sure how to respond to that. She said it so casually, like her potential death didn’t mean much in the long run.

“Maybe it’s a dud? But uh - after this I’d imagine the bats have some protocol for hiding you around?” His eyes flicked to his wrist, like he had ever worn a watch.

Kon offers a laugh at that. “We’re always happy to have you at the farm, but cmon they’d tear the place apart looking for you.”

He sat back in his chair, trying not to cross his arms. He could hear footsteps and grapples making their way closer to the room anyways.

“Tell them if you need ‘em to back off a bit. They’ll be pissed on your behalf but they just want to make sure you’re okay.”

He was glad Dahlia was alright but he was sure the bats would want to talk without him present. He gave her a supportive thumbs up from behind them all.

“Are you okay? What happened? Did Ras do this? I’m gonna kill him!” Dick says his words going nearly as fast as Impulse when he’s running.

Batman stands beside the bed putting a hand on my shoulder and asks firmly, “what happened?”

Kon gives a meek wave to the family, he’ll stay as long as Dahlia wants him to.

“Doc said she’d be alright, with enough rest of course. She should probably stay off her leg for a while- but uh- what with the league,”

Batman approaches Kon and puts a hand on his shoulder, “thank you for helping Dahlia escape the league and getting her to a doctor. I appreciate that you are a friend to her.”

“Stop getting all mushy, Father. It’s unbecoming,” Damian jokes as he takes a seat beside my bed.

I roll my eyes and sigh fondly, “thank you by the way, Kon. I don’t think I’ve thanked you for saving me yet.”

“Any superboy would’ve done it,” he couldn’t help the slight way he preened under the attention. Doing and being good, unsurprisingly, made him feel confident.

Getting marks from Batman of all people too… he was definitely going to hold this over Tim’s head. In a funny way.

Dahlia gasps, her eyes widen, “oh my gods I didn’t even think of that. If I stayed at the farmhouse they wouldn’t hesitate to kill ma or pa Kent to get to me.”

“we were outta there in a flash, I’d be shocked if they knew. But you’re probably right,”

“How will you know if- when- the league is coming? Or when they’re not?”

“Never underestimate the League of assassins. You’d be amazed at how much they’re able to pick up on. It’s not to Batman’s level but it’s still extremely impressive,” Tim warns Kon.

Dahlia nods in agreement, “yeah a son you were in that room with me. I’m pretty sure every room in that place has some sort of surveillance.”

He cringed at that. Definitely couldn’t go home then. Kon’s body swayed to the side, stepping closer to his friend. His mind kept drifting even as he spoke.

“So, Dahlia’s set here with you guys. She’ll be safe. I’m always on call, like usual. What comes next?”

“…avoid the press. Right. You’re totally talking to the right guy for that,”

There was no heat behind the words but sarcasm didn’t stick to his voice either.

“Didn’t know they were in a showcase, that’s cool,” he mumbled aloud, bringing his hand up to cover his mouth slightly, running the pad of his finger over his lip while he thought.

“I gotta take a flight, clear my head. I’ll have to get back to you on where I’ll stay,”

“Be extremely careful to stay out of sight. The league of assassins is cunning and they could try to attack you while you’re flying. I don’t want to see you get hurt because you helped me,”

“Hey, I’m bulletproof” he tapped at his chest. “Not even of this world, I’ll be fine”

“You know I’m always a shout away,” He gave her a quick nod. With nothing more to say, Superboy took off to go process everything that had happened.

He would end up at the YJ headquarters, at least temporarily. It was almost as comfortable as home and the next best option.

I give a crooked grin to Kon, “looks like we’ll be roomies for a bit.”

“Oh heck yeah! We’re gonna have so much fun.” Now having a few days to himself, Kon is feeling much better.

“So are you the only one who’s living on the base right now?” She asks settling into the couch with a sigh

“Consistently, yeah. The others all come through but I’m the only full timer.”

Dahlia tells him a big smile on her own face. She’s excited at the chance to get to know Kon better

“Oh does he now?” Kon made sure to file that information away into his ‘tease tim’ folder.

He finished gluing down a fake eyebrow piercing, grabbed his glasses and bracelet, and flew out.

Tim looks up when he hears the bell jingle at the door and beams when he sees his best friend entering. His heard does a little jump at how good Kon looks. He raises his hand and waves Kon over.

Their jobs referring to them being hero’s.

He nods to Tim before holding a hand out to Bernard, “Conner, Kon, or Superboy if you’re a fan.” He winks at the Bernard, lowering his voice just a bit for his cape name.

“It’s really nice to meet you. Tim’s pretty, uh, smitten. He’s happy when he talks about you and all that,”

His eyes dart between the two of them before zeroing in on Bernard.

Bernard laughs as he shakes Kon’s offered hand. “I’ll stick with Kon I think. It’s got a certain flair to it that fits you well,” he says winking back at him.

“Oh really? You wax poetic about me to all your buddies,” Bernard says teasingly to Tim who turns bright red.

“N-no! I just mention stuff like our dates,” Tim tries to counter, clearly flustered

“Oh he definitely does. Wouldn’t tell us your name for weeks, leaving early so he can get ready for dates, getting all lovey about it when you’d text him…”

“Well, maybe not ‘waxing poetic’… it was more in his actions than his words.”

Tim looks utterly betrayed at Kon throwing him under the bus. “You ass,” he says with a pout kicking Kon’s shin under the table.

Bernard just laughs, a beaming smile covering his face. “Awe don’t be mad at him. I think it’s really cute,” he comforts Tim leaning over to kiss his cheek.

Tim relaxes at that and gives a gentle smile back at Bernard. It’s easy to see how utterly smitten Tim is with the blonde.

Kon snickers about it, kicking back lightly. It ends up being more of a nudge than a kick to Tim’s leg.

While they get closer with each other he takes a look at the diner menu. “Did you guys order anything yet?”

Bernard reaches over and squeezes Tim’s hand. “go babe. Kon and I are fine to have dinner just us. You go be amazing,” he encourages

Bernard watches him go and smiles gently. Once Tim’s gone he turns and looks at Kon, “so how long have you been in love with Tim?”

Kon laughs a bit. His brows furrowing as he blinks at Bernard, “w-what?”

In love with Tim? He had been a bit jealous when he and Bernard got together. But that was because of the loss of time to the team. He hadn’t ever looked at Tim like that.

Kon shrugged, crossing his arms. This could get awkward. Bernard didn’t seem upset by the idea but Kon wasn’t prepared for any sort of reverse shovel talk.

“We’re best friends, we love each other the way that best friends do?”

“Can you even.. wait a second. You’re with Tim, and you want to also be with me? This is the first time we’re meeting.”

He squinted across the table at Bernard. Something here felt like a set up. Or maybe like Tim’s stalker behaviors were spreading.

Bernard is gentle as he explains, staying calm and laying it out. As much as he really wants this for Tim and him, he would never force Kon into a relationship against his will.

“Okay… definitely gotta think on that one. Does Tim know you’re asking me?”

“Of course, yeah. He’s awful about that.” Kon rolls his eyes, thinking fondly on the few times Tim has ever let himself have something good.

“I will think about it and get back to you? When do you like, need an answer? Or want, I guess?”

“Take your time. It’s a big decision after all getting into a relationship, much less one with two people. Just maybe don’t take several months,” Bernard says with a chuckle.

“Anyway, let’s get some food. I’m starving and the smash burgers here are phenomenal.”

“Doesn’t hurt that our foods gonna be on Tim’s card. He can take a hit to his bank account, right?”

Kon is already eyeing a few things on the menu. He’ll bring leftovers back for Tim, stock his fridge and whatnot.

Bernard laughs at that, “that’s true, never thought I’d end up with a sugar daddy who’s actually younger than me,” he jokes.

The waiter comes and takes their orders before leaving them again

“So tell me about yourself, what do you usually do when you’re not being amazing and saving the world?”

He sits back, thinking over his own information before continuing.

“When I’ve got time I’ll go out with my friends; Comic-Cons, concerts, whatever we can find. Big fan of Wendy the werewolf stalker and similar shows. And sitcoms are cool too!”

When the waiter comes back with their orders, Kon picks at his food. Enjoying it but more focused on making a new friend.

He was only half kidding about sneaking onto the jet. The idea of Tim finding a stowaway Bernard was funny. But the idea of having them both over was an appealing one.

“If you ever need a taste tester I love a good meal. Pastries or not.”

I have decided I’m going to start biting people as a way of showing affection.
