The home he'd been offered back in Kansas with Ma and Pa. Raising an alien made them very open minded, and after a bit of understandable period of being uncomfortable due to seeing a clone, a son of their own boy. After that, they opened their home to him and treated him like a grandson; like the grandson Clark could never, <em>would</em> never give them. He didn't visit too often though, as he didn't want to be a bother. So when he didn't want to intrude, he had another place he liked to go. The drive-in. It was calming to unwind and watch a movie on the big screen. To do something normal...well normal for him. <br><br>Sure he had a car, but he tended to not bring it as it wasn't often he had someone to go with, and going to the regular movies alone was sad; going to the drive-in by yourself? Yeah he wasn't <em>that</em> desperate. So his loop hole was to float above the cars, pick out a movie and tune into the frequency. The signal was so clear, it was like he was right there in the room in every scene. And so it had become something of a tradition for him. A somewhat sad tradition, but a good one. <br><br>He even had a big jug of soda, as well as some hot dogs and popcorn sitting on top of a small end table that sat still in the air right next to him. No seat, no car? No problem as the Superboy was very capable of improvising. And he just so happened to be so focused on the latest Action Comedy Buddy Cop Romance Drama Thriller that he didn't even notice M'Gann's arrival. After all, you didn't just not pay attention at the movies. When she spoke, he was almost startled, but kept his cool and looked over at his pretty friend. "Consider this. I stopped a band of <em>real</em> pirates off the coast of Somalia a few days ago. Sooooo maybe I can get a pass for taking in a movie and opting to not sit by myself in a car surrounded by other cars filled with friends and lovers and families and stuff. At least this way I can kinda justify it."<br><br>&nbsp;That came out sounding a lot more sad than he'd meant. He needed to work on that. Finding an unpopped kernel in his popcorn bag, he tossed it up and looked at it hard. The air in front of him shimmered and the kernel popped open. He caught it in his mouth and smiled over at Megan. "It's weird but...my brain. I think <em>so</em> much, all the time. I'm half Kryptonian, half smartest man on the planet. I can't turn the damn thing off." He rapped his knuckles softly against his head to emphasize. "But when I'm here? I can just <em>not think</em>. The most complicated things going through my mind when I'm here is wondering if I can zip to the concession stand and back before I miss the best part. Or trying to follow a needlessly complicated, yet somehow insanely captivating movie plot. It's kinda like my zen. This, and punching people who can take a right hook. Plus...I kinda really wanted to see this movie."<br><br>&nbsp;Popping another piece of popcorn into his mouth, he wiggled his fingers and a handful floated to the martian. "Want some?" Before he could answer, he narrowed his eyebrows. "Wait. Why are <em>you</em> here, M'Gann? Were you stalking me? If yes, that's kinda hot." Did he do that joke right? It sounded like something Dick would say, which meant it was either really good, or really bad.

Maybe...okay absolutely. But he liked to think that this was him having the free and fun youth that his dad never got to experience because people weren't ready for that sort of thing all those years ago. Plus sometimes showing off made him look cool, and he could never get enough cool points. He was pretty sure Dick was lying when he said there was a tally system and you could cash them in for prizes. But that guy could sell sex to a Eunuch. Even Conner had a hard time picking out the truth from the lies sometimes since Dick usually had only the one personality mode...snarky.&nbsp; &nbsp;He looked over at Megan and offered a sad smile when she told him he could have called her. He could have? <br><br>Why didn't he think of that? "I...we're friends M'Gann. Not <em>kinda</em> in my opinion. We are friends I just. I'm still not great at the whole friend thing. Sometimes I think I'm not doing it right, and then I'm afraid I'll say something stupid because I don't get social cues and...well like I said, sometimes that wrinkly gray lump in my head just won't slow down. Next time though I'll call. We'll make a date of it. I mean...friends going out. Not a date. A date would be nice too but I'm...I'm gonna shut up now. I might be super smart but common sense eludes me at times I think. Probably hanging around a certain someone too much. Or the blows to the head from people who can throw cruise ships."<br><br>&nbsp;He couldn't hide the blush on his cheeks very well. Something seemed to click in his head, and he snapped after she finished pointing out their similarities. "On the topic of telepathy; could yooooouuuuu, help me? With mine? It's really hard to train something with no real system, and no one to help. And I figured hey, you're one of the strongest psychics on the planet and you come from your own planet that's nothing but. If anyone can help me get this thing down so I can do more than sift through memories and reading minds, it'd be you I think."<br><br>&nbsp;He chuckled and thought out loud, <em>'Besides, you've basically got permission to rummage around in there anyway.'</em> Her reason for being here was a good one, and he put on a bit of an overdramatic act of how hurt he was she wasn't actually stalking him. "Shame. If you'd taken advantage you woulda seen me pretending I was detective Cooper earlier. And it's weird how we lament when there's no crime to fight. But, since you're here already...wanna watch the rest of this movie with me? It's only about 20 minutes in. You can just tune into my brainwaves and hear what I hear, right? Plus you get free soda, hot dogs, and popcorn. Sweet deal, Miss Martian. Sweet deal if I do say so myself."

She had actually thrown pies in peoples faces. As bad as it sounded, he'd pay to see that in person in a heartbeat. "Pfft. You pied people in the face? That musta been hysterical! And...yeah. When I first got out it was easier to just read peoples minds. Before then the only time I was even allowed to speak was when Cadmus told me to, or gave me five minutes of not being puppeted around. Good to hear I'm not the worst to ever give this a shot though. It helps a bit," he chuckled.<br><br>&nbsp;Like her, he'd enjoy spending more time together. If only he could just come out and say that. He may have been a genius but that didn't always mean he did the smart thing. He didn't really think about that right now though since she'd agreed to help train him. Being in better control of his powers made him a more effective hero; better able to protect people. And at the end of the day, that was all he wanted. "Cool. Any help you can give me on any aspect of my powers is more than I would've gotten otherwise so I'll learn as much as you can teach me." <br><br>The movie was still playing, and it seemed like the night deemed it fit to let them watch it. So for the next half hour or so it was movie, a bit of small talk, Conner blushing from time to time when he said something stupid or his stomach did that little flippy thing it did around Megan sometimes. He knew what it meant but sometimes he enjoyed using his youth and what people assumed to be naivete to his advantage. Like now when he kept his mouth shut and didn't say anything to help his case. It seemed like the rest of the night would go as smoothly, until he heard sirens not too far off. <br><br>If he'd been sitting down for real he'd have ruined his chair when he "stood up". Instead, he simply looked around, searching for the cause of the sirens. Then he saw it. An armored truck driving erratically, followed by half a dozen police cruisers. It had a few motorcycles with it, and everyone he could see was decked out in high tech body armor. One guy leaned out the back of the truck and fired something that looked like a bazooka. Only it shot a beam of white energy that melted a huge hole right through the hood of the car, slagging pretty much the entire front end and making it clip before it flipped into the air to start tumbling.<br><br>&nbsp;He was sure M'gann was already moving into action alongside him, and when he caught the car, he set it down before looking at the retreating bad guys. <em>'It's Intergang! They use tech from Apokolips and they're insanely dangerous when properly motivated! ...Wanna help me take em' down?!'</em> He took off for the closest back and gripped the back tire. The bikes momentum was cancelled in an instant, and the driver got flipped off and high through the air. He rolled to a stop and wouldn't be waking up for quite some time. One down.

She was quick to wave her hands around before her and shake her head rapidly in response.&nbsp; <strong>"It was one time!"</strong>&nbsp; She said, close to feeling absolutely mortified for having brought it up at all, before falling silent as Conner went on to tell her about his treatment while he'd still been inside Cadmus.&nbsp; She could only open and close her mouth, having never expected anything quite like that, although it shouldn't have really surprised her either given who had been the most directly responsible for Conner's birth in the first place.&nbsp; Not being allowed to speak?&nbsp; How could anyone endure that?&nbsp; On the other hand, Conner had been born in a test tube, until he had broken free of Cadmus, it was all he'd ever known, but the very idea they had tried to control him that much was shocking to the young martian, who's heart, while battered from all that she'd endured both personally and otherwise, was too big to ever consider such drastic measures even now.<br><br>Thankfully he changed the subject pretty quick, and she smiled, her eyes lighting up as he said he'd be more or less honored to learn whatever she could show him.&nbsp; And his reasoning, which she 'overheard' pass through his thoughts although it wasn't intentional on her part, only made her want to teach him what she could more than ever.&nbsp; Still, there was the fact she hadn't ever shown anyone how to use telepathy beyond what she normally used it for, so it'd be a learning experience for her as well.&nbsp; But she was up for the challenge.&nbsp; <strong>"I'll do my best to be a good teacher, you'll just to be patient since I've...never done anything like that before."</strong>&nbsp; She admitted, blushing again for a whole other reason, but she didn't shy away from the chance to try something new either.&nbsp; That was part of why she'd come to Earth all those years ago anyway, to broaden her horizons in every way possible, to meet new people, make new friends, and to make a difference in her own way.<br><br>But like most things in her life had a tendency of doing since Darkseid's second invasion, the good times came to an end when she heard the sirens off in the distance through Superboy, her mind still linked to his so she heard the noise at the same time well into their movie.&nbsp; She gritted her teeth, her amber eyes beginning to glow with green eldritch light as her hands clenched at her sides.&nbsp; She had to take a steadying, calming breath as she took off beside the Boy of Steel, to focus her mind on the task at hand.&nbsp; It was just as well because she didn't have Conner's superior vision, but when he told her who they were chasing, she felt that familiar rage coil around her stomach and squeeze, hard.&nbsp; Apokolips meant Darkseid, which meant even though they had driven him off world five years ago, along with his army, his influence was still being felt on her second home world.&nbsp; That meant that Intergang was about to have a very bad day because M'gann didn't feel the need to hold back, much.&nbsp; <em>If they're using Apokoliptian tech, that just makes them allies with the same monster that destroyed the Justice League.</em>&nbsp; The rest of her thought, full of venom and rage, she left unspoken as she did her best to keep pace with the armored truck, having gone camo the moment she got close, but Superboy probably got the hint well enough.&nbsp; She didn't feel the need to hold back her punches since as far as she was concerned, these particular members of Intergang had just hit the top of her enemy list.&nbsp; Those at the top of her list didn't stay there for long.<br><br>She put her thoughts into actions as she threw her arms out wide, a scything wave of telekinetic force emanating from her outstretched hands like an oncoming freight train.&nbsp; The back of the armored truck left the ground before the tires and most of the back end of the truck were simply ripped off and flung to the side of the road, one of the other bikers ran into the debris, flipping head over heel to land in an unceremonious heap on the concrete, unmoving but alive.&nbsp; She didn't give him so much as a backwards glance though, uncaring if he had broken more than a few bones despite his high tech armor in the crash as she narrowly avoided a second shot from the laser bazooka wielding gang member.&nbsp; Her right hand shot out, and with a defiant growl, she used her telekinesis to crush the end of the barrel, her fingers closing into a fist at the same time.&nbsp; <em>"Gunner's down and the truck's about to come to a stop."</em>&nbsp; The last of the bikers would have to be dealt with, as would anyone still in the truck, but all in all, the hard part was over.

And hitting someone with a pie because you didn't know any better was definitely worthy of that reaction. When she said it was only one time though, he laughed so hard his legs started kicking and he flipped over in the air before righting himself to sit the right way. "One time is more than enough, hahahaha!" True he was laughing at her, but she had to admit it was a pretty funny thing to happen and he could be allowed a little joking room. Plus if she was going to be his teacher, it was good they could laugh about things like this.<br><br>&nbsp;"I can be pretty patient. Have to be when you move as fast as I do. On the topic of teaching though, if you figure out those "Martian Vision" powers like your uncle used to have, feel free to ask me for help. I'm pretty damn good at that stuff." As soon as the Intergang showed up on the scene, they both burst into action. He was already wondering if he'd screwed up by explaining just what the Intergang was before they'd taken them down. Sure Darkseid had caused the death of his father, and it pissed him off.<br><br>&nbsp;But he hadn't been there. Megan was apparently front and center when the Manhunter was killed. Even though these guys weren't Darkseid, and they weren't part of the army that had wreaked havoc on Earth, but they did work with Apokolips. Maybe that would be enough to push her over the edge? He just hoped he was persuasive enough to keep her from going loco on these guys. Megan got a hold of the truck before he did, and when those back wheels went up he knew they were done for. It was then ripped apart and left to tumble to a stop.<br><br>&nbsp;While he focused on the bikers. He'd already taken one down, and four were left. <em>'Focus on the truck, I'll take down the rest of the bikers!'</em> Speeding up, his eyes blazed red and the back wheels on one bike, then another glowed before violently exploding and sending both riders crashing into the ground. An idea popped up in his head, and a flick of his TK sent the last biker skidding along the street with his bike. The bike still worked though, and while the guy was stunned, he wouldn't be down for too long. He "ignored" the final biker so he could focus on the others, and see who was inside that truck.

Because he knew that tech didn't make you good at your job, it just made your job easier. This guy was no criminal mastermind. He was a low rent hood who was lucky enough to use all this advanced tech, but dumb enough that he was still just a go boy and yes man. He had no real power, no responsibility, no common sense. Because Conner knew that a guy like him was a coward, and the moment he had the chance, he'd run home with his tail between his legs so his buddies could help him and keep him safe against Miss Martian and the big, bad Superboy. It was the perfect plan, because this guy was too dumb and too scared to see through it.<br><br>&nbsp;Now all they had to do was wait a bit, and follow him back to base. But then, he heard <em>"Truck's occupants are down.&nbsp; Moving to pursue the runner."</em> echoing inside his braid. <em>"Megan wait! I've got a plan!"</em> She wouldn't hear him though, not after what that guy said. He'd made fun of her dead uncle, but not just that, he made fun of how much easier it would have been to kill him if they had the tech back then that they had now. <br><br>Shit! Now Conner had to save this guys life, because he had no doubt the thought of murder was at least on Megan's mind. He watched her explode the asphault right in front of the biker, launching him, nearly wrecking his bike, and making him unabe to ride since his arm was basically paste and bone chunks inside his arm now. Then she used her TK and brought him close in a move Conner knew all too well. And while she could easily get the info from his mind, Conner had a strong feeling that she'd leave him comatose in the process, if not simply liquify his brain altogether and kill him in her rage.&nbsp; "Miss Martian, no! We don't do that!"<br><br>&nbsp;He shouted loud, loud enough for the guy to hear him as he flew over. What the guy wouldn't hear was the psychic conversation. <em>"Megan, I need you to follow my lead on this. <strong>Please</strong></em>."[/i] And then he tackled her. He wrapped a TK field around her so the only thing she felt was his actual impact. When they slammed into the ground with him on top of her, she'd feel no pain whatsoever. He pushed himself down, straddling her and holding her there; putting up a convincing "struggle" while he looked over his shoulder to the biker. "Run! I don't know how long I can hold her back, and if she gets a hold of you, it's over! Run dammit, run!!" The last conscious Intergang member with his broken arm, sore body, and fearful mind stumbled to his feet and shuffled off. <br><br>Not fast at all either, but he was fumbling for something on his belt. He finally pulled off what looked like a black and grey rubix cube, then he threw it and it clattered to the concrete, unfurling to become what could only be described as a rocket sled. He practically fell into it, and typed in the coordinates of the base. Then the rockets fired and he skated off going at a pretty good speed. It it wasn't for the auto-pilot, he'd pancake into something, but all he had to do was ride and he'd get home safe. Once he was out of site, Conner stood up and offered Megan his hand. "Sorry about all that. But we can follow him back. No need to turn his brain into ice cream soup. I know it hurts what he said, but you're a <em>hero</em> Megan. And being heroes means we hold ourselves to higher standards than the people we protect the world from. We're better than that. <em>You're</em>...better than that. Now come on; I have a feeling wrecking that Intergang base will make you feel a little better."

Now he was jetting off back toward his hideout hoping his friends and the rest of InterGang would protect him. Conner would prove him wrong later. After helping Megan up, he remained firm when she tripped and fell into him. He could feel all her anger and shame and guilt and angst and every bad feeling all coiled up into one big negative knot. He could understand. That's how he'd felt when he first woke up and freed himself. <br><br>And he had people now to help him keep it all under control. She apologized, and he hushed her, holding her close and cradling her head with his hand. <em>"It's okay. I understand why you feel like you do. Even though I didn't know him, I have to keep myself from crushing every reminder of Apokolips and Darkseid I come across. It'd be so easy, too. I think that's why it's so important we don't give in. Our job isn't supposed to be easy, and we're good at it because we do the right thing, even when it's hard. That's what makes us heroes."</em> <br><br>No words or thoughts were exchanged for a while, and Conner simply let her in to experience his feelings, what he felt about her, how he knew she was a good person. Even the embarrassing stuff that he liked to keep hidden slipped out a bit. After a while, he looked at her. "You ready to nail these guys to the wall? I'm pretty sure we can catch him in no time flat."

He actually knew far more than Megan could comprehend. He was part Lex Luthor. One of the most evil geniuses the world had ever known. He had some of Lex's thought processes. Sometimes he couldn't help but just think of the ways he could hurt someone. Not even just physically. With his powers he could ruin someone socially, financially, introduce something far worse than a quick death. Even Clark though seeming perfect struggled with the knowledge that he could do almost anything with his abilities. <br><br>Both of those guys were rattling around in his head. And if he didn't keep some thoughts, some memories hidden. He'd expect Megan to be the one afraid of him. She didn't break down on him, but she did wonder. She was wondering alot. Did he trust her to help him on this? How frightening it was to know this corruption of sorts was seeping through her and she didn't know how or maybe even want to stop it. <br><br>"Yes, I trust you. And we can look at this as therapy. Your problem is how easy it is to lose control, especially in situations involving those two and people associated with them, right? Well I'll be your shrink. If you start to lose it, I'll reel you back in. Help keep you level. Help you fight it. And the more you fight it, the easier it gets. And eventually, well things won't go back to normal. But you will be able to cope." <br><br>He put his hand on her shoulder and smiled. "You might be surprised to hear this, Megan. But I don't think there's a single hero out there that isn't satisfied to know they're stronger than the bad guy. Who doesn't relish a little in knowing how easy it'd be to stop them. Every one of us has our reasons for why we think that way, but at one time or another, we <em>all</em> do. It's just we also know that overpowering and destroying is not the same thing, and we know where to stop." Turning and walking a few feet away, he looked over his shoulder. "I've got your back, Megan. Don't worry. Now let's go find that clown before he gets too far away." He pushed off into the air, hovering there and waiting for her until she joined him, and once she did he flew off in the direction the Intergoon had rocketed off in.

He hugged her back and planted a gentle, friendly kiss on her forehead. "Don't mention it; you'd do the same for me." Once they were both in the air, he figured it wouldn't take long for the guy to get home. As fast as that sled was going, he figured it had to be on auto-pilot, which meant it had a set path and since there was only the one road from the drive-in heading back toward town for a while, all they had to do was follow that and...BINGO!<br><br>&nbsp;After a few minutes they both saw a moving shape below them with a neon orange and red rocket trail behind him. "Thankfully you put the fear of God in him...or Martian God. Did you guys have a God? <em>Gods</em>? Anyway. He's scared enough that he's more concerned with getting back than checking for us. As long as we stay out of his direct line of sight and keep some distance, we're invisible." <br><br>They flew behind the guy for another ten minutes, and Conner inwardly groaned at how long this way taking. Good news though because as soon as he started to complain, the sled bumped down into a parking garage. It was still in use, but was slowly being phased out by more modern ones closer to important parts of the city. A perfect place for a secret hideout. <br><br>"Miss Martian? I think we found the hideout. Let's go knock to make sure." He dropped like a stone from the sky, stopping only feet from the ground and flying inside the parking deck. It wasn't hard to follow the guys trail, as the tire marks on the concrete suddenly ended at a wall. He walked over to it and tapped the suspicious section of the wall, producing a dull thunk noise that indicated a hollow space. <br><br>"Well, Megan. You wanna do the honors or should I? Either way I don't think our <em>friends</em> will like us showing up unannounced like this," he said with a bit of a laugh. "Keep in mind though, Apokolyptian tech is some of the most advanced we've seen. They can hurt you and can probably hurt me too, so we need to stay on our toes, do this quick, and do it right. Got me?" He knew she did. She was a professional first and foremost, and with the danger they were wading into, it'd be smart to not treat this like a game. "Now let's get this party started."
