Superboy<br/>Location: Mt. Justice<br/>Tagged: Open<br/><hr/>Superboy heard the synthetic voice announce the arrivals of other members of the team, thanks to his super-hearing. He remained where he was: seated on the couch in a common room that was adjoined to the kitchen. He looked ahead, staring with a blank expression at the television screen. It displayed a pattern of static and the words 'no signal' appeared in bright red letters at the top of the screen. There was a remote control on a coffee table set in front of the couch, but it remained untouched. There was a soft, faint hissing issuing from the television's sound output. All of it suited Superboy rather well. He was dressed in his usual outfit. Really, his only outfit. Which was to say: combat boots, blue cargo pants, a belt, and a black t-shirt with the red 'S' shield logo of Superman. Superboy wondered sometimes whether he ought to wear it, given how brusquely the Kryptonian had brushed him aside without explanation. Superman was there for everyone in the world. Everyone knew in their logical mind that Superman could not be there for everyone at once, but in their hearts they believed he would always be there for them when they truly needed it. Superboy might have believed, once. Not anymore.<br/><br/>He frowned. His emotional immaturity exacerbated the frustration he felt, and his efforts to rein it in were not entirely successful. Superboy tuned out the conversation beyond shortly after Wonder Girl asked if anyone was home, but the words of the others still hung at the periphery of his senses. He wanted to drown it out completely, but in his agitated state his powers refused to comply. This did not help his mood much, but he was mollified by the television. Superboy stared into the formless black, white, and grey patterns, and felt himself calm down. He let out a long breath and things seemed to get immediately better. A few more moments passed, and he was calm. The clone got up, and padded into the kitchen, fetching a glass and pouring himself some delicious, wholesome milk.
