The Kid of Steel

[The camera comes into focus on a familiar (to some) chiseled jaw. Kon smiles and gives the camera a little wave.]

Hey, guys. Been a while, huh? Well, for me. I've got no clue how long it's been here. Anyway. I'm back! This place seems about the same.

Right. People who weren't here before? I'm Kon. Or Superboy. Either one works. Yeah, I'm related to Superman, if you were gonna ask that, and yeah, I can fly. So can my dog.

[Krypto, on hearing Kon mention the word dog, wanders over, looking curious. He barks at the camera and wags his tail. Kon goes over and scratches Krypto's head before looking back at the camera.]

So how's everyone been?

[Locked to friends from before he left.]

Hey! Who's still around? What'd I miss?

OH COME ON!

[The shout comes from the closet. All that's visible, besides the incredible array of identical black t-shirts and jeans, plus scattered boxers with little s-shields on them (Hey, Kon's got a theme, he sticks with it), is a red-spandexed butt and legs, plus a few completely useless belts and straps.

After a moment, the kid comes out, scowling. The rest of his costume is spandex too, plus a horrible fade cut and an earring. And sunglasses. Can't forget the sunglasses. God, he's so nineties it hurts.

Anyway, he's scowling and holding a shredded leather jacket in his hands. Still visible is the yellow s-shield on the back.]

Where the heck are all my jackets? I'm supposed to have a ton of extras! All I've got is a gazillion black t-shirts! Who wears black t-shirts all the time? Cause there's no way that's me. T-shirt and jeans? Not a superhero costume.

[There's a crash, followed by a sort of rush of color, then the white nose of a dog comes into view. Then there's a shout from the other side of the room.]

Krypto! I told you not to get into my things!

[The dog barks, then the snout disappears, and after a moment, Kon picks up the camera. He's a teenager, very muscular, and wearing a black t-shirt with a red S-shield on it. He grins sheepishly.]

Sorry about that. That's my dog, Krypto. He's usually pretty good, but this place is totally new for him, so he's kind of excited.

[He turns the camera to show the dog, who is white all over and wearing a red cape.]

That wasn't exactly how I planned to introduce myself, but while I'm here…

I'm Kon-El. I'm gonna be a warden here. I'm also called Superboy. Mostly because Superman's already taken by the guy I was cloned from. I've never been a warden before, but I've saved the world a few times, so I figure this can't be much harder than that, right?

So who else is here? Any other superheroes?
