Conner's skepticism was palpable as he stood there, arms crossed tightly over his chest. The team had always been a handful, with Kid Flash's unpredictable antics, Miss Martian's questionable loyalty, Robin's unwavering optimism, and Aqualad's commanding presence. Trusting others had never come easy to Conner, and his short time on Earth had only reinforced his belief that people were more trouble than they were worth.

So, when Batman introduced a new member to the team, Conner couldn't help but react negatively. His voice laced with doubt, he questioned the need for this addition. "Why should we trust them?" he challenged, his gaze fixed on Batman. The Dark Knight's eyes narrowed, a silent warning that Conner chose to ignore. Robin, always the peacemaker, nudged him gently in the side, urging him to reconsider his words.

Conner's glare intensified as he shot a quick glance at Robin, silently resenting his interference. But he took a deep breath and stepped forward, determined to voice his concerns. "I mean, seriously, do we really need anyone else on this team? You said this was supposed to be a covert operation, but it doesn't feel very covert with all these new faces around."
