the kid's face is clearly confused and a little lost, but he looks around at the people milling about with peaked interest. huh, Onceler had really pulled out all the stops for this. probably would have been a good idea to remember what this event was about then.

ice blue eyes narrow before a thin brow raises, " So… it's another Thneed thing. Man, you really should diversify. " he mumbles the last bit under his breath, but he doesn't care if he's heard. not really. he was skeptical that the Thneed could do any of what Onceler was advertising, but hey, he wasn't the one calling the shots.

something that bothered him to no end, but it's not like he could do anything about it.

" I doubt that'd help much. I'd just forget to fill 'em. " he says, inhaling a little sharply as he takes in the display. head quirks to one side, then the other, before he makes a face, " I dunno, it looks kinda tacky to me. But whatever. "

   “You can’t have forgotten already!” the Onceler cries, though he seems to be in a decent mood, so it comes off as more teasing than anything.  Behind him, several employees buzz around, narrowly avoiding bumping into each other as they set up a large pink and red display.

   “We’re getting things in order for your public demonstration of the Thneed, how it can be used in combat, by security personnel, and the like.”  He beams, lightly shaking his head.  “We’ve got to get you set up with a planner of something so you can keep up.”

   He spins on his heel and holds his arms up to the pink arches and large red Super S logo.  “What do you think of it so far?”

the kid is frowning, though it looks like more of a pout. sure he's saying that all the time, he's getting lectures all the time, even when he's done nothing wrong. especially when he's done nothing wrong, it seemed.

the kid's face just scrunches up with frustration, " Well, if you actually had something interesting to say that WASN'T a lecture, I'd probably listen more. " he mumbles, arms crossed over his chest petulantly, " FYI, your advice kinda sucks. It doesn't help at all, Lex is mad at me anyways. "

   “You’re always saying that,” the Onceler says, glaring at Kon through his tinted lenses.  “You always want me to ‘spare you the lecture.’”  Already, this is turning into one of those, but Kon has no one to blame for that but himself.

   “It feels like, at this point, you don’t actually care to listen to me.  Maybe if you actually stopped and took my advice in at some point, you would find that I wouldn’t have to give it so often.”

Kon's pouting. Robin's being super cold and apathetic and Kon's pouting. so much for the crush theory; no one with a crush on him had ever acted this aloof in his presence. they usually crowded him and asked for photos or tried to feel him up. Rob was doing none of those things and it was souring his mood.

his pout gets even more pouty, if that's even possible, before sticking his tongue out at Robin, blowing a raspberry in his direction, " Buzzkill. This was supposed to be for fun, but you're just bummin' me out. " he says, rolling his eyes as he lifts his legs to sit cross-legged in the air. arms follow close behind, crossing over his chest as he sulks.

now that he was thinking about it, which is a miracle really, he maybe.. possibly… might have taken this a bit too far. Kon likes to keep the party rolling, but Rob… Rob didn't. he was a killjoy at the best of times, but now? he looked kind of miffed and was definitely trying to press his buttons. which unfortunately was working,

" You don't know what you're talking about. I'm a fantastic kisser! I'd show you again, but I know you'd lay me out the moment I came close. " he huffed and puffed, pout a permanent feature on his face for the forceable future.

unfortunately for the other the color that had risen along his cheeks was the only indication that he was going to get. not now that Tim had something to hold onto other than shock. was it rational to be a little angry? probably not. but it was better than embarrassment or sadness. so anger was what he was sticking to.

"I stand by my statement. I've had worse, but I've definitely had better." maybe he was being a little spiteful now. but the sting that had developed in the center of his chest urged him to be worse. "not you specifically," he assures. "just the same gender in general."

Kon wasn't really helping his case by being... well himself in this situation. usually the cocky and overconfident act didn't bother him. but normally he wasn't on the receiving end of comments like the ones that Kon was making now. it was a little too much like the passes that he made at civilians without the intention of it being taken seriously. and maybe he was internalizing it a little too much.

that was a problem for future Tim to deal with.

"no. once was more than enough. experiment concluded."

Kon has noticed the changes, had taken stock of how much healthier she looked, even if she was still pale as death, and she'd filled out pretty well in his opinion. but right now was not the time to let his mind race with her new look, it was time to just hold onto her before the Kent's got worried and started looking for him. he didn't want them to get too concerned but this was something he'd been waiting three long as FUCK years!

Kon shakes his head, " There's nothing to be sorry about. " he breathes, giving her a tearful smile, " I'm just happy to see you. " he had questions for her, sure, but that could be discussed elsewhere. maybe the kitchen at the Kent's farm, where they could have some privacy and maybe some pie to eat. Ma's pie was to die for.

hearing that Luthor had threatened her has his hackles raising, blood boiling with anger but he kept it on the back burner for now. he didn't wanna ruin the moment. so he takes in a deep breath and lets it out slowly before speaking, " Yeah, well… you being gone didn't stop him from trying. He was gonna kill me anyways cuz he wasn't happy with me and my lack of coverage. " he leaves out the fact that it was Donovan that had saved him; his death still hangs heavy over his head, even three years later.

he could have saved him… but he didn't out of fear. Luthor just brought that out in people. especially a child. which he keeps reminding himself constantly. he'd been a child, A CHILD, doing things he should have been protected from.

there's another long breath before he's speaking again, " Doesn't matter, not anymore. Lex didn't wanna deal with the legal stuff and handed me over to Kal-El, er, the real Superman. He's actually really cool. " he says, voice shifting from an angry tone to a happier one, smiling,

" I live with his parents now. They're nice people, they take care of me like real parents do. Kal comes around when he can. " eyes shimmer with joy as he speaks, " I got a name too, a real one! It's what we agreed on before, I'm Connor now. " he'll tell her about his Kryptonian name later, when they were somewhere more private.

FREEDOM LOOKED GOOD ON CONNER-- sure, he'd started styling his hair, his stubble was gradually coming in, but it was the overall glow of happiness on his face that she took the most notice of. (oh, and the new lack of height difference. in the back of her mind, she wondered if he had anymore growing to do.)

she didn't feel like she'd changed much, though anybody that knew scrappy little lee anderson as a kid would beg to differ. though she hadn't shot up in height, having a place to call 'home' (even if begrudgingly so) and consistent meals had certainly worked its magic; while still deathly pale, she no longer gave off the aura of a walking corpse. who would've ever guessed the scruffy stray cat would turn into a lioness?

"me, too." oh, and there came the gut punch and the questions she knew would follow. if you missed me, why didn't you come back? why did you leave me with him? she swallows thickly, doing a horrible job of blinking back tears before letting her eyes fall closed, forehead resting against his. "...i'm sorry."

blackened fingers reach up to cover his, and the witch turns her head just enough to let lips brush against his palm. "not for lack of trying," she breathed, briefly meeting his gaze again. "hones'ly surprised i didn't have a bounty on my head. maybe i did--"

she paused. "he told me that if i kept trying, he'd hurt you. so... i didn't know what else to do."

Kon blinked. had Rob really just...

" Did you just kiss me? " he asked, looking startled. sure, it was a lil kiss on the head but that was still waaaay more affection than he'd ever gotten from the Robin. a little grin starts to grow on his lips,

" I knew it! You do care about me! "

@batstalked: 😵‍💫

the fight had been kind of intense, too many intergang goons and only one of him, but Kon had managed to come out on top. sure, the boy had bruises and cuts everywhere, but acted like he was fine as the cops took away the bad guys. it wasn't until the cop cars had long been gone that the boy's whole body sags, so much so that he reaches for the nearest wall for support.

Kon didn't notice Robin approach, trying to breathe without making his ribs ache, so when he finally DID notice the boy wonder he didn't bother trying to hide his discomfort. this was his friend, after all.
