Hey, guys! [ Wearing a pretty sweet red and blue hoodie (his uniform, as it were), Jon raises a hand to give a wave to the feed with a sheepish smile on his lips. The angle of the camera shifts after a moment, showing a decent amount of computer hardware running behind him, though the screens are a bit too far away to make out what's on them. Sitting at one of them is some other tiny nerd. ]

Robin and I uh. . found some stuff, yeah. Since most've this stuff seems to belong to someone else, we wanted to see if anyone wanted their stuff back. . ?

[ Jon gets pushed aside because he is obviously doing this wrong. ] You’re forgetting that first we will need proof of ownership, Superboy. These items could hold someone’s very life at stake and can’t be handed off to some stranger.

[ The camera pans over to where some notes and a pill bottle with it’s label ripped off rest. A hamster scurries across the table and nibbles at the tip of a page for a moment before Jon reaches a hand out and picks it up. ]

Paper isn’t good for you, Hammy-Bruce. Anyway--if either of these’re yours, and--[ Mumbles to himself for a moment, under his breath. Something something, Robin’s real rude. ]--you can prove it’s yours, I’ll come run it to you?

His name isn’t “Hammy-Bruce” it’s “Bat-Hamster!” [ Robin is heard complaining in the background before the feed cuts off. ]

Yes, sir! I'm on it.

( kon is his new favorite adult as of. . right now. why? because kon is amazing. voted best kon by jons everyhwere. )

I'll make sure Mini-Robin isn't a huge jerk to whoever lost their medication. Somehow.

[.....seriously, this kid is adorable. Maybe it's not so bad having a... half-brother... or whatever relation they qualify as.]

It's a proud Superboy tradition to keep Robins from being broody jerks. I'm sure you're up to the task.

I can handle Damian!

( no, no he can't, but he can at least help damian on a little. )

Hey, Kon? Would it be okay if I called you my big brother?

[Kon stares, kind of shocked by the request.

Kara had been his cousin. At times he'd almost seen her as a sister. Even that had been pretty weird for him, since he's never been used to having family that wanted him around. Ma and Pa Kent seemed to, sure, but that was still... weird. And new.

And now Jon's flat out asking if Kon will be his big brother.]

Um, sure. If you want.

[.....Kon has no idea how to be a big brother. He has no idea how to be a brother at all.]

( victory is his. this probably isn't the kind of question you should ask over a network and definitely not while he's playing at superboy, but. it's too late for any regrets and also he doesn't have any. )

Cool! Hey, do you want to play some video games? I have the Monk-E Monsters console! And some other stuff! Have you seen D--Robin's new room? It's really cool! I have a big screen TV in there and I moved all my games over and there's a sun lamp for some reason and he's got a giant super computer he's working on and--!

[He doesn't think anyone's ever been this excited to hang out with him ever in his life, and he's had groupies. Does this make him a role model now? Jon could do way better there.]

That the Robin cave thing? I haven't yet, but I guess I'm bringing my hamster over for a playdate soon. So you could... show me around then?

( it does indeed make him a role model. it's not as if jon has ever known any other. . kryptonian kids his age, so meeting kon's pretty cool. even if kon is still older than him, he's not like. clark-aged. )

Yeah! That'd be awesome. Maybe we can race, or arm wrestle, or uh--do some other cool stuff! And video games of course.

[Kon hesitates, then asks:]

Have you seen Wendy the Werewolf Stalker?

No, I don't think I've heard of it.

Seriously? Oh, man, it's the best show.

Then lets watch it!
