Things were…tense, but he should be better than this…

Things have changed since Young Justice was first formed…instead of the original members Robin (Dick Grayson), Kid Flash, Aqualad (Kadur), Artemis, Super Boy (Conner), and Miss Martian (M’gaan) the team was different…and Conner couldn’t get past it.

He was one of the founding members still around, along with Grayson who goes by Nightwing, and Miss Martian. Artemis was…gone, Kid Flash had left the hero game and Aqualad betrayed everyone and went to work with his father “Manta” in The Light.

So as time passed, the team was slowly replenished with the new younger members as well as working with “The Outsiders” and indecent group who often coordinate and follow certain core members of young Justice. Some of the newer recruits to the Young Justice and Outsiders alike include Blue Beetle (Jaime Reyes), Lagoon Boy (La’gaan), Wonder Girl, Bat Girl, Rocket, Bumblebee, Beast Boy (Garfield), and the appointed lead of young members, Red Robin (Tim Drake) often taking orders and being given missions directly from Nightwing and the other original members as intermediaries from the League.

The start of his entire life had begun inside Young Justice, and yes he’d learned how to live and adjust to life for himself, but it didn’t make it any less difficult to move on…to accept how everything was determined to change.

Though unlike most of his teammates, he didn’t have a designated squad to lead on missions or anything…not that he would want to. He mostly tags along to missions that need some extra muscle, and with all the these new kids that’s pretty often. Especially that fish twerp La’gaan, despite being a strength type with his Atlantean magic or whatever, he really barely even has super strength…and after M’gaan-No. Not thinking about that…or her. She made her choices…and how she uses her powers…whatever.

Today was a pretty slow day for the Half Kryptonian. He’d already gone on patrol with his Fath-…Clark. Crime was slow and no one needed any extra muscle, which mostly left him to his own devices for the day. He’s gotten some training in the Sim Room and some normal working out done. So eventually he just retired to the common room to watch some TV, something he rarely did nowadays…”ugh…I just need something to happen please…?”

Though as if on cue, he heard the smooth noise of one of the electronic doors behind him sliding open…and at this point he’s almost desperate enough to talk to whoever walks in…or fight them…
