His name was Superboy, but that was a code name. An alias. A name given to him so that people won't find out exactly what it was that he was doing here. It was an answer to questions they had, but it opened up more questions.
Kara and Alex didn't trust him. Mon-El and J'onn is unsure about him. Which is why Superboy was in this situation in the first place.
"Wait. You want him to live with us?" Kara asked J'onn.
"Yes. I need you and your sister to look after him. Until we can be sure who he is, we need Supergirl and Alex Danvers to watch him. Make sure he isn't dangerous. Make sure he isn't just a Cadmus lacky. " J'onn explained.
"But taking him to work! Neither Snapper Karr nor Cat Grant will let this fly. Nothing seems to phase them." Kara exclaimed.
"Just tell them he's an intern you decide to take under your wing. Or say he's a reporter for the Daily Planet who wants to go to CatCo." J'onn said. "I don't know. Just keep an eye on him, Kara. If he is part Kryptonian, then you're more capable than everyone else since you're a kryptonian in case he goes bersek."
Kara sighed to herself. It was her job given by J'onn to look after this person who called himself Superboy. Nothing else was spoken about him. Except when Kara and Mon-El found him, he was in a pod labeled Kr, the periodic table symbol for Kryptonite. There was no mistaking it. Cadmus had taking him without his consent to their facility.
They were doing tests on him. So, why did they need her blood if they already had one? Right. They need the DNA of someone related to Superman: Supergirl. But still, another kryptonian scared her.
It fucking scared her to the ends of the earth. More like her. More that somehow survived the destruction of Krypton.
"Alright. I'll do it." Kara told J'onn.
"Excellent. Keep a close eye on him." he replied.

"Come on, Kr." Kara said using the word on his chamber since it would be easier to explain than Superboy.
"Why must I go with you?" Superboy grumbled to her.
"I'm your..."
"Prison guard? You don't need to tell me your my guide. I know exactly what you are. You're looking after me while they decide if I'm a valuable asset or not or if I'm deemed 'dangerous'. Which by the way, I don't know the meaning of." Superboy snapped.
Kara sighed. He was smarter than she gave him credit for although he had blindly stated he had no idea what the meaning of the word Dangerous was, but she just thought he was being sarcastic.
He, obviously, wasn't. His programming made him not understand the meaning of the word, so that he didn't object to what was told of him. The twenty-seven year old Kryptonian female (who was older than most people thought because of the time spent in the void) continued to bring him to CatCo Worldwide Media.
Kara just hoped that Ms Grant would believe her excuse of why she brought him here. Kara let out a breath of relief when the first person she ran into was James Olson.
"Who's this, Kara?" James asked when he ran into her.
"We found him in a Cadmus Facility. He says he's Kryptonian, and I have to watch him for J'onn." Kara explained not answering the question James asked her.
"I got that. Winn told me." James said. "But who is he?"
"He doesn't have a name. He just has Superboy. I'm trying to figure out what we should call him out here." Kara asked.
That's when Cat Grant walked by them. "Kara, James, who is this and why is he in my building?" she asked them.
"Uh... uh.... uh... uh..." Kara couldn't find the words.
Then, she got an idea. To go with what J'onn advised her to do. Tell Cat that he's someone from the Daily Planet trying to find a job at Catco. Which is exactly what she did.
"This is..." she couldn't find the name. And then it came to her. "Conner Kent, Clark's younger brother. He's trying to find someplace other than the Daily Planet to form his own identity away from his brother. I'm just showing him around so he can make his decision on where he wants to be."
Kara didn't know if her lie was good enough or that Cat Grant would believe the thing Supergirl's alter ego had spoken to her about. Kara waited for any confirmation from the person she looked up to.
"Alright, but keep him out of my way, Kira." Cat said.
"It's Kara. You know never mind." Kara replied.
Conner? I like it. Superboy thought to himself, but what was with the last name Kent?
