--there we go!

( the feed opens up to just his face, a satisfied grin plastered across his mouth now that he sees that he did, in fact, get this thing to work. it doesn't quite reach his eyes, though; they're a bit red, definitely swollen. don't judge him. )

Hi! My name’s Jon Kent. I’m looking for my mom and dad. My dad’s name is Clark, and my mom is Lois. My dad looks a lot like me, just bigger? My mom has brown hair. I’m sure they’re fine, but I haven’t been able to find them yet.

( the grin shifts into something a bit more sheepish, free hand raising to adjust the big, bulky glasses sitting on his nose. )

And uh. . how do I know which room’s mine? Why are there ogres outside--?

Yeah I... I could do that.

[The enthusiasm is sort of nice, but mostly just confusing. It's so unlike how Clark acts towards him ever that he doesn't know how to handle it.]

You... really haven't heard of me? Like at all?

. . no, sorry.

But--uh, it doesn't mean you weren't there. I started keeping up with news stories after I got a smart phone, but Dad didn't tell me he was Superman until about a year ago. I guess we came from a different Earth? There was a different Superman who was Superman where we live, for a while. But he. . died a little while ago. I grew up on a farm, and didn't know anything about Dad or his past. He never introduced me to anyone in our family, on either side. I didn't meet Kara until a couple months ago, either, so.

( he lifts his shoulders, before they slump back down. honestly, given how much he's been kept in the dark, kon-el could very well exist back home and jon just doesn't know it yet. )

[Just like Clark, keeping his secret ID under wraps, even from people who are related to him.]

Yeah, but you would have heard of me. I mean, I'm pretty well known. I'm Superboy.

Yeah, but I'm Superboy back on the Earth I live on.

( and obviously he has heard of himself. )

I'm sorry. I could be wrong, though--a lot of weird stuff's been happening back home. My memories are a bit weird, too.

Yeah and the whole "other universes" thing. Always makes it more complicated.

I know that something weird went on a while ago. . waay back when I was still a baby, and my mom and dad and me ended up in a whole 'nother Earth from where we were from and stuff. And then recently they merged together with the Lois and Clark of the Earth we were on who were dead. . now I kinda have two sets of memories? But not really. I try not to think about it; makes my head hurt.

But no one really explains things to me so.
