WHO: Power Girl and her newly-arrived cousin Superboy
WHERE: Tallest building in Heropa
WHEN: 7/11
WHAT: One Kyptonian and one clone meet on a roof to talk. They are sort of, technically, kind of family. Hopefully buildings won't be thrown.
WARNINGS: None yet.
Chances are that she'll get there first considering his human DNA kept him from some of those full Kryptonian powers; such as flight. Finding the tallest building in a small mom and pop-run town isn't difficult which is why he suggested it in the first place. That and those without superhearing wouldn't be able to hear their conversation. Just in case he needed them, the shields Luthor gave him rested in his back pocket because if it came down to it, Superboy wasn't nearly as strong as his full-blooded relatives. Hopefully he doesn't need them. It would be nice to actually have a family member that didn't try to kill him, simply brush him off or manipulate him.
So even though the tallest building isn't really that tall, Superboy still took the opportunity to land on a third floor windowsill before scaling the rest of the height with a single jump. Not that it really hid his not-so-secret identity but he was wearing his black shirt with the red 'S', cargo pants and boots anyway - typical mission clothes. This time he was alone. His constant companion, Wolf, was back at home probably sleeping.
He moved away from the edge of the roof and towards the center, arms crossing over his chest. How does someone even start something like this. Back when he met Superman all he had to do was show him the symbol on his solar suit but Power Girl probably already knew who he was. Or least, a version of him. Conner kept that little idea in the back of his head.
"So...Kid said we're cousins," he said. Ugh, that was terrible and even Superboy knew that. Five months was not long enough for him to learn how to strike up conversations with people he didn't really know.

pfft got it
In the span of a week he has found out about four family members when Superboy was sure that it was just him and the big guy. While he sort of always counted the team as family, he had more blood relatives than he knew what to do with right now. As much as he tried to concentrate on the two that were here, his mind kept wandering back to the ones who weren't.
"Does she know about me where she's from?" Because that was also an option - for him to not exist in a world. It happened to Batman and Robin.
no subject
If she's being honest with herself, even she can't fill in all those blank spaces. Family matters have always been complicated with her, but throw in the multiverse and it goes beyond her understanding and her level of comfort. It's selfish desire, but she's longed for her Kal-L and Lois Lane. She misses her Helena often.
Meeting one relative after another she's never heard of is always disappointing, though she doesn't mean to feel that way and feels incredibly guilty being dismayed.
It's not wrong to want to see her cousin and wife again someday, she hopes.
no subject
Though Superboy gets it. He gets that maybe things were so complicated for some of them that maybe they didn't want to sit down and talk about the rest of the family. Of course he's curious if this daughter of Superman knows about him - it would make things so much easier when introducing her.
Really, he could go without the rest of the family from his world. Having them show up here isn't exactly something he wanted. It could be like what Robin ended up with when it came to Batman.
That was something he could do without.
"Is there anything else I should know right away?" Hopefully they'll have time to get to know other things about each other. Power Girl did seem to like him enough.
no subject
That was a little more than unsettling to think about; who knew if there were others among the imPort population who had some kind of connection to them? It was only by chance she had learned about Eiko, otherwise they would have passed each other in the streets here without ever sparing so much as a glance between each other.
"I don't know what else it is you want to know. Our worlds seem... more different than I realized, but we might be here all day if we start going through that."
no subject
"We don't have to compare but I was mostly wondering if there was just anything important - like some enemies of Superman that ended up here or life-altering sort of things."
Like if Luthor has control of his mind because that is certainly important.
no subject
"No Luthor," she raised a hand. "There's a few of Batman's enemies here, like Penguin, Two-Face, and Riddler, but they've been behaving themselves. Riddler especially." She adds with a slight frown as if to say Don't tell him I said that.
"There's the Shade as well, though he's retired."
no subject
"Robin's probably already got them under surveillance or something. Besides, Batman never really did want us on his turf anyway." Superboy is not about to run out and start talking to the bad guys just because they're behaving.
"Yeah, I heard about the Shade already. Talked to him too."
i actually cannot recall if alan went by sentinel or GL at her canonpoint and am too lazy to check
Although she's dealt with the criminally insane plenty of times, they weren't situations she enjoyed. The older she got and longer she's been around in the business, the more she realized just how much people like that needed help.
Some weren't capable of being mainstreamed into society. Some didn't want to be, but the ones like Ultra-Humanite? Those were the ones who made saving the day bittersweet for people like her and Superboy.
"Shade's sort of one of the good guys now. He's helped Green Lantern before."
haha
Though with Batman here and from another universe, chances are they'd be doing their dynamic duo thing rather than call on the team. As for the crazies - he didn't really stand around talking to them so he never really saw how much help they needed.
And he doesn't hit up the bad guys in Metropolis either. After that one time when he ran into Superman there, he avoided the big blue boy scout's territory too.
"Wally doesn't seem to think he's a good guy."
the problem with characters who jump back and forth between mantles
"Shade is... complicated." She doesn't know him as well as Alan and Scott, so what she wouldn't give to have them there to confirm whether or not Shade is a potential threat would have been nice. "He likes to act all mysterious, but trust me, he's more bark than bite these days."
truth
"Right. Good to know. I'm gonna...head back home." He rubbed the back of his neck and turned his gaze away a bit awkwardly. "But I'd like to do this again - you know, talking."
no subject
She's taken by surprise when he announces he's heading back so soon, but Peej quickly decided it was for the best; she didn't want to overwhelm him upon their first meeting.
"You know how to reach me when you do," she said, lifting a hand in farewell.
no subject
He was whelmed, as Robin would put it. Definitely whelmed. So whelmed that Superboy doesn't even know what kind of questions he wants to ask. Or even if he wanted to ask them. Did he really want to know how her version of him was like? That was something he needed time to think about.
"Yeah, I'll see you around." He waved goodbye to her, not wanting to actually say the word. Then Superboy turned and dropped off the edge of the building.
