    Summary

    “... did you want to talk about, Jason?” Dick hears Clark ask.

    “Um, I…” Jason takes a breath. “I know it’s kinda… weird, and maybe you won’t want to, but I-I talked to Leila about it and she said if I wanted to ask then I should just ask—”

    “Jason,” Bruce interrupts, “it’s alright. What do you want to ask us?”

    Jason is quiet for a few minutes. Dick is about to poke his head around the corner to look at him when he finally speaks up.

    “I was… thinking maybe I could start calling you guys Dad and Pa?”

    Dick’s stomach drops.

    -------------

    Jason asks to start calling Bruce and Clark his dads. Dick... doesn't handle it well.

    Instead, three electronic beats rising in pitch play.

    “The number you have attempted to reach is no longer in service. Please hang up and check you have input the number correctly.”

    ---------------------

    Summary

    The kid blinks, then goes rigid. He slowly turns, and Clark–

    Clark’s stomach drops.

    Because he knows those eyes. He’s seen those eyes every day for the past nearly seven months.

    Those bright blue eyes that are an exact copy of his own.

    “... Conner?” He hears himself say.

    “Shit,” The kid– Conner– swears. “Dad’s gonna kill me.”
    ------------------------
    An encounter with time-traveling robots brings a sixteen-year-old Conner to the present day.

    Summary

    Conner is fucked up.

    He’s fucked up and wrong in the head and so so mentally unwell and, really, the fact had been made extremely clear in just the first few months of his life out in the real world - first few hours of simply being in Clark’s presence but come on there had got to be an end to the countless uncountable thoughts swimming in his head that leave him frighteningly anxious and wanting to knock his skull bloody into the darn wall.

    Or: Conner is mentally reeling, then has a surprise visitor.
