Conner	It is late enough most normal people should be sleeping. But Manhattan nights are not quiet, they say this city never sleeps. One of the reasons he has come to like New York more than Metropolis. Because Half-Kryptonians don't sleep much either. In truth he has been studying most nights. Shocking, yes. Who would have thought Conner would take learning seriously a year ago? But he is going to college and he keeps busy during the day. So he takes advantage of his superhuman stamina to study when most of his friends are sleeping and most interesting places are closed. Not tonight. Because one of his friends keeps weird (bat)-schedules. Also, he is rarely in New York. So Conner is taking the rare chance to meet and talk to him. On a rooftop, because that is what superheroes do. "Yo, Rob?" he calls. "I am not early, am I?" No, of course he is not early. Conner being early would be one of the signs of the End of Times.
Tim Drake	Tim Drake turns from where he grouches in the official bat-stance, gargoyle-like near the lip of the roof. He turns and drops down onto the shingles proper, his cape catching a bit of air before his boots hit. "When have you ever been early for anything?" he says jokingly. "You're fine. I just thought I'd get a little patrolling in while I was in town. It's kind of nice to have new neighborhoods to explore. I have Gotham pretty much memorized at this point," he says. Pretty much is, of course, an understatement - he could probably tell you how many bricks there are in the walls of most of the alleys. Batman expects you to be detail-oriented. "How's it going? I thought I might swing by Titans Tower soon, I've been busy in Gotham and haven't been able to get that way in a while."
Conner	When has he been early? Never. Always 'fashionably' late. Or so he would claim. "It was a rhetorical question," he replies, handwaving away his ability to be late when able to fly at supersonic speeds. Conner is not a Titan, of course. He never really accepted the invitation, as he has been busy travelling all over the world and so far has avoided Superman's trying to make him into a more responsible super-teen. "It is going well. Or at least it was before the alien attacks. Now it looks everyone is busy with rebuilding, looking for missing people or just moping," he finds his own perch to hang and adds. "What about you? Was Gotham also him bad?"
Tim Drake	Tim Drake nods, "Gotham got its share, as usual, although I think the lack of superhuman targets might have made it less intense. Things were worst where they expected the most resistance. And, to be fair, Gothamites are kind of used to soul-crushing catastrophes," he sighs. "Even the billionaires are tough there." A few in particular. "I figured I'd come up and scout schools. I'll probably end up doing college in Gotham, but I should at least have a safety school or two. And I admit, sometimes, I think about getting under the old wing and flying solo a bit more, y'know?"
Conner	"Oh yeah. That is why I settled in Hawaii" notes Conner with a grin, "well, the beaches and the babes too. But... Superman casts a big shadow, and all that." And yet Superman never had him go through rigorous training or asked him to memorize the number of bricks of every wall in the city. But Superboy had a weird upbringing and he has some issues. "College? You?" He gives Robin a quizzical look. "You mean you don't have two doctorates already? For shame, Rob. But what can they possibly teach you in college you don't know already? I am doing the college thing to meet people and because... well, you know I went to high school in Hawaii for like about ten minutes before the school got blown up? It wasn't that bad."
Tim Drake	Tim Drake smiles, "Well, babes I can understand. Not really a beach guy myself, but I don't see a lot of sun as it is," he grins. "Plus, Hawaii's a little far away and, well, not all of us can fly." He laughs a little and shrugs, "Hey, if I could apply my Bat-training for college credit, I just might have a Ph.D. or three, but, alas, the credits aren't transferrable to any school I know," he says. "Plus, my nighttime activities had an effect on my GPA - I did fine, but you can't exactly manage straight A's when you miss two or three days worth of homework due to Two-Face tying you up in a warehouse."
Conner	"That is not what I meant, what I meant is... eh, not sure how to explain. New York is not far from Metro, but it is like a different world." He gestures to the city lights of downtown. "And it feels everything is here. Even beaches. Although not all the year around, sadly." Didn't Nightwing leave for Bludhaven. He is not sure. But getting out the Bat shadow shouldn't be too hard (yeah, right). "Otherwise, everything okay? I saw Gar a few weeks ago, but I have lost track of the old gang," probably because most of them got real lives, oh well. "When are you going to introduce me the new Batgirl?"
Tim Drake	Tim Drake laughs, "You've never needed me to introduce you to girls, whatever costume they wore," he smiles. "I've been out of touch myself a lot, focused around the city," he says. "I like it here, though. It's different, has its own flavor. And the Chinese food is excellent," he says. "We'll be getting into winter soon. I'll have to break out the thermal cape."
Conner	"But that is no excuse," protests Conner. "Besides, I can hardly drop by Gotham, I might get the Bat-stare," and when he says 'may' he means he will for sure get a grumbling Batman on him in minutes. "Just curious, anyway," he adds. "I am actually dating, seriously dating, this girl from Genosha. Or at least I was before the alien stuff. She has been busy."
Tim Drake	Tim Drake raises an eyebrow, "Mutant girl, huh? That comes with its own particular perils," he says. "A lot of politics, a lot of criss-crossing alliances," he says. "And yes, you would definitely get the Bat-stare. But everyone does." "I'm still single, but I haven't really been in a position to date anyway. Between patrol, studying, and training, I barely have any free time as it is. I mean, I've still only got like ten hours in on Breath of the Wild."
Conner	Conner snorts. "Yes, mutant," he loses his smile there, "can't get why they give mutants so much hell. I mean, Supes is an alien and everyone loves him. I am a half-alien, clone and meta and I think I can count the times someone has given me grief about it with the fingers of a hand. Ugh. Makes no sense." So he looks at Tim for explaining, he knows everything, right? "You know. Videogames kinda lost its appeal now my senses are so sharp," now, that is a âreal- tragedy, for sure.
Conner	Superboy says, "there has been a few SB along the years. Current one in the comics is actually Clark and Lois son, as they have been married for years, and he is about 10"
