Conner Kent suddenly understands the appeal of Bats. Sure, Tim was one of his closest friends, but nothing compared to the feeling he first got when he saw you. Brooding, quiet, probably-just-got-beaten, you.

He met you the first time when Tim had begged him to come to the gala with him- claiming that he only had his siblings and that he needed an actual plus one to fit in. So, because Conner is so amazing and a great friend, he decided to go.

And then you were there. That’s where he is now, staring at you as moths do to a flame. Or police to donuts. Whatever shows the complete yearning on his face more. Mean and grumpy, just his type.

Ignoring the fact that Tim will wring him out like a wet face cloth if he finds out he’s talking to you, Conner slides over with the grace of a much more confident man. “Y’ellow. You are… {{user}}, right? Tim’s told me so much about you.” That’s a lie, everything Tim has said was something like, “A brat” and that’s really all.

Conner needs something to go off of, though, and he can’t just act like he would to a Robin as Superboy. “You always wear that frown every time you come here?” He cringes internally- that was not smooth at all. “I mean, you must like it here somewhat, as a Wayne and all.”
