Chris is 16, Conner is 12, and Jon is 6.
Chapter 11: Halloween
Conner's POV
"And I'm going as Leonardo! Damian's gonna be Raphael! Colin is gonna go as Donatello! And AJ is gonna be Michelangelo! It's gonna be great!" Jon exclaimed for the thousandth time.
I couldn't even contain my exasperated sigh and eyeroll as he rambled on about his trick-or-treating plans to our older brother. Chris merely smiled at his antics as I crossed my arms and sank down into my chair.
"Conner, you should go with us!" Jon added.
I shook my head. "No way. Trick-or-treating is for babies."
Chris added, "I'm going. You can go too if you want. We can invite Tim and Bart."
"No way! I'm not going to go. It's lame. Besides, I'm going over to hang out with Tim, Bart, and Jaime at Bart's house."

Clark's POV
I exhaled slowly as I tried to remind myself that Bruce has always been this much of a pain in my ass. He's just become an even bigger pain since he had children.
I calmly explained, "For the last time, Bruce, Smallville is perfectly safe to go trick-or-treating in. Damian will be fine. I'm sure Chris and Jason can handle everything."
He barely nodded before turning to his kid "Damian be on your best behavior for Lois and Clark. Mind your brother."
Damian cast a suspicious eye over towards his older brother but nodded nonetheless. "Yes, Father."
"Jason, do I need to remind you to behave as well?" Bruce asked as Jason rolled his eyes.
He ignored his teenager before turning back to me. "If anything goes wrong-"
Interrupting him, I promised, "I'll call you. I'll send Jason and Chris over as soon as Lois and I get back. Bye Bruce."
Bruce finally left leaving me staring at Chris, Jason, Jon, Damian, AJ, and Colin. I smiled down at them. They all smiled back except for Jason and Damian.
"Alright boys, Lois and I will be at the Daily Planet's annual Halloween party. Chris and Jason are in charge until we get back."

Chris' POV
I finished helping Jon and AJ in to their costumes and turned to find Jason still struggling to get Damian into his. I rolled my eyes before helping Colin out.
"Todd, this tradition is ridiculous! I demand you take me back to Gotham so we fight actual criminals," Damian hissed.
Jason merely smirked down at his baby brother before adding, "You're right, Demon. I knew you couldn't handle this mission. Should've sent Tim instead."
That immediately caught Damian's attention as he straightened up and asked, "What do you mean?"
"The candy of course, squirt! How will we tell if it's safe to eat for all these kiddos unless we collect it. But you're right. I guess this is a job for Tim to handle since you can't. Hell, we could've already completed it if Tim were here."
"I shall not be outdone by Drake! Give me that!" Damian yelled as he snatched the plastic pumpkin shaped candy bucket from Jason's hand.
Jason winked at me as we lined up our four teenage mutant ninja turtles. Damian was the oldest at seven. Jon and Colin were both six while AJ was the youngest at five. We made sure to pack several water bottles for AJ. Can't have the heir to Atlantis drying up.

Jon's POV
I watched as Jason "inspected" nearly every single piece of Damian's candy by eating it.
"Yep, this one was safe too. Good job, Damian. A few more houses and you'll pass Tim's record," Jason promised as Damian scowled.
"Onward to the next house!" Damian exclaimed.
Chris raised an eyebrow before asking, "Are you really going to eat all of your brother's candy?"
Jason shrugged before muttering, "What kind of a brother would I be if I let the kid get cavities?"
"I wish I had a brother," Colin murmured as the rest of us froze.
Damian immediately replied, "I'll give you three."
"Okay then. I think it's time we hit the last few houses and then head home for the night," Chris quickly interjected.

Chris' POV
I watched in disgust as Jason quickly downed the last of Damian's candy. If he doesn't die of diabetes, he'll be in the dentist's for at least twenty cavities. I glanced over to where the kids were making a pillow fort in front of the tv in the living room.
Jason announced, "Good news, Demon. All of the candy tested negative. You've single handily saved the kids of Smallville."
Damon looked up with a smug grin and replied, "Naturally, Todd. It was obvious that I was best suited for this job unlike Drake."
"And you had fun too, right?" Jon added with stars in his eyes.
Damian scowled before giving his friend a slight nod. "I suppose this night wasn't a total loss. Think of all the weight Todd will gain."
"Hey!"
