The Kid of Steel

((RP with torchreporter))

Kon hoped Chloe didn't know Conner Kent. Not that she'd recognize him, most likely, since as Conner he wore glasses and as Superboy, he didn't, not to mention the costume, and let's face it, no one would think a loser like Conner would be a superhero. But still. It could get awkward.

He flew to Smallville High and hovered outside. People were pointing and whispering and staring. Well, he was used to it. He figured she'd see him easily enough. And come find him.

"To love at all is to be vulnerable. Love anything, and your heart will certainly be wrung and possibly broken. If you want to make sure of keeping it intact, you must give your heart to no one, avoid all entanglements; lock it up safe in the casket or coffin of your selfishness. But in that casket- safe, dark, motionless, airless--it will change. It will not be broken; it will become unbreakable, impenetrable, irredeemable."
- C.S. Lewis
