• September 18, 2016 (End of first assessments, Final Year) •

[ Connor <•> Kara ]

C: bet you're glad today.

K: of course I am. The assessments were crazy...

K: and that just made me wonder how you were so normal throughout the entire week.

C: well...

C: unlike you, I don't worry a lot about the assessments.

C: it's the finals that count.

K: Mrs. Kent said you almost flunked last year too.

C: ...

C: why did Mom tell you that? This is unacceptable!

K: get used to it.

C: used to what? You being my Mom's gossip buddy?

K: this isn't gossip.

K: she was actually worried about you and your studies.

C: for the last time Kara, just because you can age and I am going to remain 19 forever doesn't mean you can lecture me about stuff.

***

K: how have your classmates not noticed by now that you don't age?

C: idk

C: I was older than them when I started, still am an year or two older than them.

C: I think if I went to college with the same people, then they would notice that I am still the same while they've aged.

K: close call.

C: maybe I won't go to college at all.

C: too much hassle.

K: ...

K: I feel terribly sorry for Mrs. Kent, you're such a headache for her.

C: last I checked, I might not be the perfect son but my parents love me very much. So keep your assumptions to yourself.

K: geez, that's rude.

***

C: there's word that a Homecoming dance is coming up next month.

K: frankly I don't care.

C: ...

K: but that doesn't mean you shouldn't care too.

C: yeah because I had a few plans...

K: ooooooooh

K: did you pick your guts up to ask Ava out?

C: ...

K: hey, what happened?

K: did Kon-El chicken out already?

C: ...

***

C: I mean there's still a month left so you asking me about it is kinda early.

K: you telling me about it was not kinda early at all then?

C: fair enough.

***

K: we're all meeting at Mount Justice tonight.

C: why?

K: ...

K: did you forget?

C: oh...

C: us and the Young Justice...

C: I'll be there.

K: you better be. M'gann texted that we all have a mission.

C: right.

***

K: where are you?

C: just coming. Jonathan thought I was leaving forever so he was stuck on my leg for the past ten minutes.

K: and are you bringing him along?

C: of course not. Mom had to take him away.

K: he's so cute though.

C: he's a terror.

C: all children are.

K: ...

K: just because you were never a kid doesn't mean you have a license to deem all children as terrors.

***

C: oh I forgot, you girls love kids...

C: the sticky little urchins...

K: you better stop right there or you're getting punched the second you turn up at Mount Justice.

C: no thank you, I would rather not come then.

K: M'gann will kill you!

K: this mission is important, okay?

C: ...

C: fine, coming.

[ The Young Misfits ]

Robin: guess what, we again have a good news and a bad news.

Artemis: give us the good news first.

Robin: another mission accomplished with no fatal damage to any of us.

Nightwing: great work team, I'm proud of you all.

Supergirl: hey what's the bad news though?

Superboy: don't ask him that...

Robin: the bad news is that I'm still alive.

Kid Flash: ...

Nightwing: okay don't you dare go into your suicidal mode again...

Robin: I didn't say I want to kill myself or whatever you consider as suicidal.

Robin: I clearly meant that I did not get to have my name in the martyrs list again.

Miss Marian: Tim, go to a psychiatrist please.

Robin: no use, tried that.

Supergirl: and then?

Robin: it failed.

Superboy: I warned you not to ask him that. Now look, we're once again talking about Timmy having suicidal thoughts.

Superboy: which is what we talk about almost all the time and it's boring me a lot by now.

Robin: for the love of GOD, Connor, I clearly said I am NOT having any suicidal thoughts.

Nightwing: ...

Supergirl: ...

Artemis: ...

Kid Flash: ...

Miss Martian: ...

Robin: all of you, stop typing. Or I'm leaving the chat.

Superboy: please do.

Robin: you want me to leave the chat?

Superboy: yeah. So do us all a favor and leave already.

Robin: fine, then I'm not leaving.

Robin: endure my presence for eternity.

Superboy: ah, the torture...

Miss Martian: was that Connor's way of making Tim agree to something?

Nightwing: I guess... Hey, I need to learn that too.

Robin: wait, what?

Superboy: reverse psychology. Works with him all the time.

Nightwing: thanks, mate.

Nightwing: so gonna use it later on.

Robin: I hate you all...

Robin: especially you, Kon. I hate you with a burning fire raging through each vein of mine.

Superboy: ...

Superboy: I would like to say mutual but then I don't know if I have veins or not...

Supergirl: 😂

***

Miss Martian: frankly speaking, whoever had the idea of forming a Young Justice league must have been high.

Nightwing: why do you say that?

Miss Martian: because mostly all we're capable of is causing a ruckus and most of us are not even of age yet.

Artemis: I would like to say I don't agree but when I really think about it, M'gann has enough proof to back her case up.

Miss Martian: and one of us is remaining under legal drinking age for eternity...

Superboy: that was brutal.

Robin: you go, M'gann!

Superboy: brutal to the point of infinity.

Kid Flash: sorry pal.

Nightwing: I still don't see your point.

Nightwing: I was part of the Teen Titans once. We saved the day all the time.

Artemis: and you're telling me your Teen Titans caused no ruckus whatsoever?

Supergirl: and who's idea was to form the Teen Titans?

Kid Flash: 😂

Nightwing: ...

Kid Flash: 😂😂😂

Nightwing: mine...

Superboy: indeed.

Miss Martian: ladies and gentlemen, I rest my case.

Kid Flash: but still we've had our fair share of triumphs.

Nightwing: thanks, Walls.

Artemis: Wall Man*

Kid Flash: ...

Miss Martian: honestly though, anyone with a name Wally should get accustomed to a wide variety of nicknames.

Supergirl: thinking of nicknames, I came up with one for Connor.

Artemis: oh do tell.

Superboy: don't you dare...

Robin: oh no, yes you dare. I'll make sure he doesn't act on whatever threat he has given you not to tell us the nickname.

Miss Martian: I want a best friend like Tim.

Kid Flash: Connor would disagree.

Supergirl: seriously, Tim?

Robin: trust me, I can give you a guarantee, he would do nothing.

Superboy: why am I still your friend?

Robin: that is a question I ask myself every single day.

Miss Martian: Kara, what's the nickname?

Supergirl: Drama Clone.

Nightwing: 🤣🤣🤣

Robin: wow, it fits. Like a drama queen but better.

Superboy: I hate you.

Robin: mutual, bro.
