( dad forgets he's still a kid, mom forgets he's strong. . man, they really get their wires crossed, don't they? she keeps going on and on about stuff he doesn't really get, but it's fine, because it's his mom, and he doesn't mind when she starts doing that thing.

but then she's reaching for his hand and jon gives her a big smile, fingers moving to intertwine with her her own and grip on tight. he's not letting go. as long as superboy is here, his mom will be safe and close to his side; and if she's not close by, he'll keep a good ear out for her, making sure she's safe. )

Yeah, sure! I'll show you to the tea rooms and we can get extra marshmallows piled on top and whipped cream and sprinkles. . and I'll tell you all about Kon and Damian and Jason and Tim and Cissie and Mondo and Mr. Stark and all that stuff. Everything was turned into cookies recently! The wholeee building. Oh! And there's a whole other group of superheroes from a different universe called the Avengers--that's the team Mr. Stark's on. And there's Teddy and Billy who're really cool, too.
