As Superman descends with a frown on his face, The rest of the league follow through one by one. As their surrounded by the adults the youngsters gather and stand tall together.
Batman lands near Superman who had a gaze that could freeze hell . Staring intensely at Superboy who walks up closer before grabbing the torn part of his suit to reveal the symbol of hope on it like Superman's.
With a smile on Superboy's face he and Superman exchange glances before the big man's expression hardens even further.
Causing Superboy's to falter,
Batman: " Is that what I think it is ? " With his gaze narrowed.
Kid-Flash walks upto Superboy's side with a hand on the side of his mouth he whispers in a not so low voice everyone can hear, " He doesn't like being called an it ".
Superboy: " I'm Superman's clone " he reveals which leads to the league members to shift and widen their eyes before understanding dawns on them.
Leon watches this debacle frowning with his arms crossed muses inwardly, " Always hated this part of the show
* His eyes narrow * now I can finally do something about
the Boy-scouts hypocrisy ".
Batman with his eyes narrowed, " Start talking " ...
A few minutes later everyone is having a conversation with their own team, while the teens group up and converse.
Superboy turns back to see Superman conversing with wonder-woman and Martian Manhunter before he looks back and notices Superboy staring at him.
Causing Superboy to retreat his gaze and look at the ground, Superman walks upto the boy before sighing then saying, " We'll uh.. We'll figure something out for you the league will for now ...
I'd better make sure they get that blockbuster creature back safe " Then flies away leaving Superboy staring at his flying figure.
Only for a Kí beam to shoot out of nowhere and temporarily blind Superman before Leon flashes forward and punch superman right on the face.
That leaves everyone wide-eyed, though Leon didn't hit using his full strength it was supposed to be enough but it only caused the Boy-Scout to turn his head slightly.
Leaving him surprised before he sees an angry teenager with his arms crossed looking at him.
Superman's expression hardening, " I'll give you 30 seconds son, start talking "
Kid-Flash, " Oh.... He's gonna die "
Raven: " Leon !! Wh--!!" Leon raises an arm telling her to stop before he narrows his gaze back at Superman.
Leon, " Say tell me Boy-Scout are you human? "
Superman, "???No "
" Then you must've been raised by your alien parents right ?"
His gaze falters abit " No, my parents were humans.. why-- what does it matter !!? "
Superman voices.
Leon: " So let me get this straight your father was a human then right ? "
" Yes, the greatest man I've ever known and who taught me to be human so I won't tolerate any dis-- "
Leon, " So let me get this FUCKING STRAIGHT !! Your father a human being raised YOU an ALIEN from unknown origins, when you could've been the one to cause the world's destruction too, Which I might add if we don't count general effing Zod !!"
" That's not true I protected earth from Zod !" Superman raises his voice in anger.
Leon then points to Superboy on the ground " Your Father despite your questionable background accepted YOU. Loved YOU and taught YOU to be a human !
So I don't understand,
What the fuck kind of bullshit is this !!
You always go around talking about being a human at heart on TV,
how you wanna help mankind. Yet you try to abandon someone with the same story as you?
Is that not hypocrisy... Superman or does the word hypocrite mean something else back in Krypton !!
You always talk about being human and compassionate yet you can't even do the very thing that made you what you are ..
What your Father did... What you're HUMAN parents did.
* In a softer voice *
If i was him I'd be ashamed of you..."
Leon exclaims before shaking his head looking at Superman with disdain.
" Your father didn't even have powers yet he took the risk endangering his own life and his wife's adopting an alien from the sky, Yet you?.. You are literally indestructible yet you try to abandon him instead, you will never be a HUMAN like that...
You wanna know why I'm talking ? why I'm Being like this, Because I'm not Human too "
as Leon shifts his clothes revealing his Silver tail making everyone around him gasp in disbelief.
Raven gasps and covers her mouth in shutter shock.
Raven, " Oh no that idiot ". She utters in a slightly exasperated tone.
" I was raised by humans as well my parents loved me they treated me with so much love that even though I never knew my birth parents personally, I never lacked nor missed their presence..
You and I ... We were originally orphans,
Superman. Yet we were given love and affection beyond what we should've received thanks to compassion and our parents.
* Sigh *
Nobody is telling you to adopt him, nobody's telling you to take responsibility for him but...
The least you can do is show him he's not abandoned by the very man he grew to respect and think of as a paternal figure he's a literal baby of sixteen weeks for godsakes !!
* Superman's expression falters *
Compassion my ass !
If this is the face of the justice league a hypocrite who can't even show the least bit of empathy while parading around his compassionate nature,
then all of you might as well be hypocrites by association... " Leon says before he descends back down.
As Leon is walking away turning his back towards the others, a big hand clasps on his shoulder. Stopping him, he turns around to see it's Superman , " * Sigh* You're right ..
I--I wasn't being fair to him. Thank you for clearing my mind, Guess you're right I still don't full understand what it means to be human but.. I'll try harder thanks and Stay... I'll own upto my mistake "
To Leon who simply nods and and gestures towards Superboy with his chin,
Superman smiles and takes the hint slowly floating above the air before falling to stand right infront of him.
As the Two Kryptonians converse, Raven comes upto Leon " Good work, You almost died but still good work Leo ". In a much more softer tone than usual.
Leon Chuckles though inwardly he muses, he wouldn't do that again even if he had ten extra lives.
Kid-Flash blitz past the rest before stopping next to Leon " Dude !!! You're an alien !! You have a tail ..... * Stopping for a brief second before * Sweeet that's awesome! "
Robin, " Can you grab a glass with that ? If so that's a great cup holder "
Aqualad walks joins, " I never properly thanked you before...
Thank you "
Leon chuckles in disbelief at the teens acceptance of his background but nonetheless, smiles looking at his new team.
