Hey, Wonderland.

I know some of you were super excited to see Superman around, but... he went home a few days ago.
I waited a little while to say anything, because I figured he might come back, but he hasn't.

Wiccan was looking to put together a team of superheroes here in Wonderland, too.
Does anyone have any good ideas for a team name? I guess "Super Friends" isn't cool enough. I think I'll make a poll later with the best ones.
And do any superheroes out there maybe want to join in?

where are you?

[kryptomight]

I'm in my room. You can come by if you want.

ACTION

[cisskabob]

[Cissie doesn't bother responding; she just heads to the fourth floor with a bag of cookies. Sugar won't make the pain go away, but it won't hurt. She knocks on Jon's door and cracks it open without really waiting for an answer.]

Jon? It's Cissie...

[Well ... damn. Jason doesn't ask anything like are you OK, 'cause the answer to that's obvious.]

where are you

text.

[kryptomight]

In my room. Why?

action.

[scathefires]

[Jason doesn't reply, just heads toward Jon's room - which Jon will likely hear, super hearing and all. Doesn't matter. A few minutes later, Jason's standing outside Jon's room, knocking on his door.]

[ She can't decide if it's better this way -- if it would harder or if it would be better or easier to have a Clark Kent around, even if he wasn't quite her Clark because, after all, he has always been her very best friend. Maybe they could have been friends, too.

What she thinks or feels or wonders seems completely insignificant compared to what Jon feels, however. Her son had grown attached to him. They'd formed their own unique bond and her heart aches for him. ]

I'm so sorry, kiddo.

[kryptomight]

It's okay. I bet he's happier back home anyway.

( with his own lois lane and his own friends and family. it still doesn't make jon any less lonely here though. )

text

[spellcheck]

I wouldn't say happier is the word. Happy, yes. Who wouldn't be happy to return home after being away for so long? That doesn't mean that he wasn't happy here, too. I'm sure just getting the chance to know you made his time here the best it could possibly be.

[ But somehow she doubts this is going to do much to comfort the ten-year-old who just lost someone important to him. ]

[Aw, shit. Frank gets mopey and the kid gains, and loses, a better goddam father figure than Frank could ever be.

Still, he can up his game a bit. ]

Superheroes need headquarters. You thought about that?

voice

[kryptomight]

( voice is met with voice, even if his is a little cracked and hoarse. )

Yeah. . I think Billy had one? I was gonna make my own secret base, call it the Fortress of Attitude.

What's not cool about having Super Friends? [Aside from everything, but this seems like it's written by someone in the "below high school" crowd. Maybe it's someone Billy picked up during a shift at the Youth Center?]

Wiccan seems to know a lot about what to do with strong people. I'm sure he'll work out something great.

[kryptomight]

Having super friends is cool, having your superhero team called Super Friends is not cool.

He told me to ask so I am.

workshop.

ten minutes.

[kryptomight]

Yes sir.
Should I bring anything?

[trabryu]

[ How bad can the timing be? It wasn't long since he and Jon had the talk about Superman and he knew how much having the man around gave Jon strength. Not that Jon isn't strong enough without him, but. It still feels shitty. If Mondo feels like this, he can't imagine what Jon feels. ]

im sorry jon

[ He's horrendous at comforting people, much less on text. But he tries anyway. ]

dya wanna talk
or maybe have some bike ride

[ Not that they can go far, but sometimes it helps to refresh your mind a little. ]

[kryptomight]

You finished your bike?

( he's sad, but--jon's still not alone, even if clark not being here is one person less that he'd known, that had been like him. jon will miss him more than anything, but they would have been separated eventually regardless. after all, he wasn't the clark kent from his universe, but another entirely. )

I want to go on a bike ride.

[mrsarcastic003]

[Oh... no. Tim knows how he'd felt when Bruce had vanished, and that has to be ten times worse for Jon--Bruce isn't actually his dad.]

...is there anything I can do?

Aside from offering "Young Justice as a team name, because it is clearly the superior name for the young and young at heart.

text

[kryptomight]

Young Justice is already a team though. This has to be an all new name for an all new team.

[nomorules]

Superheroes, huh? I'd say "The Phantom Thieves of Hearts" is pretty rad, but that's already taken.

Sorry your Superman dude left. Now there's a code name that ain't fooling around.

text;

[kryptomight]

You wouldn't want to call super heroes a team of phantom thieves though, would you? It doesn't sound very heroic.

We still have two Superboys even without Superman.

[cloned]

you ok there mini-sb? cause i got a whole lot of video games and all seven seasons of wendy if you need some distracting.

[kryptomight]

You still have to show me Wendy.
Do you want to watch Godzilla with my mom? We'll have ice cream too.

[letsemilythis]

I'm glad I at least got to meet him - I'm not sure I ever could have done that back home.

I've got something for you. What's the best way to give it to you?

[kryptomight]

You can come to my room if you want?
Floor four, room 48.
Or I could come meet you?
