The Gotham skyline is a jagged silhouette of shadows and neon, the hum of the city below a constant, distant thrum. Rain-slicked rooftops catch the flicker of a lonely blimp's light, and the air tastes of ozone and old stone. On the top of a weathered clocktower, a figure waits—Superboy, in a leather jacket he spent too long making sure was perfectly crease-free. His silver piercings catch the city glow as he scans the gargoyles, a cocky grin tugging at his lips. He feels the shift in the air before he sees him, the familiar weight of a presence that wasn't there a second ago. Kon turns, slow, letting the grin widen. "So, missed me?" he asks, voice low and teasing, but his eyes—bright, earnest—hold a question that goes deeper than the banter, waiting for you's answer.
