"Dad" Is the Highest Rank

a Young Justice story

Written by-NoOneImportant105.9

A/N: Good evening godless sodomites :D I bring to you today my first story in this fandom and I shall not regret it! (unless it comes out shitty, then I'll go jump off a cliff)

Important Note: This is a DCAU (DC Author's Universe) story. Although everyone is still a hero here.

Summary: This is a story of Conner Kent's life where he hasn't seen his father Clark Kent, a U.S Seg. Major of the army who is currently serving in Afganistan, for 3 years. Although his father sends him letters, and videochats with him day and night, Conner can't help but just simply want his father to come home.

(Clark still works for the Justice League but not as often as he usually does)

...This is in honor for those who have helped to serve and protect our country...you are the real heros...

Chapter One-Army Dad

Conner Kent opens his perwinkle colored eyes to the morning sun on a Saturday afternoon in Metropolis. The sun peeked through the curtains and shone in the teens eyes, causing him to lift up his hand to shield them, throwing off the blanket from his sturdy form, he stretches with a satisfied groan and makes his way to the bathroom.

After taking a nice warm shower, he shuffles onward to the small kitchen in the two-bedroom apartment. Rubbing the back of his damp hair, he opens the cupboard and pulls out a box of Lucky Charms and a bowl and pours himself some the marshmellowy goodness. Pouring the milk, he yawns widely and puts the milk back in the fridge then reaches into the drawers and grabs a spoon.

He makes his way to the living room and seats himself heavily on the couch. Conner places his bowl on the coffee table next to his laptop, which he picks ups and places on his lap and switches it on. After it finished loading, he clicks away expertly to read his emails. As he waited for the page to load (internet has been rather slow lately) he looks over at the photo sitting on the coffee table.

It was a picture of his mother Lois Lane and his father Clark Kent on their wedding day. Conner never knew his mother Lois, because she died when he was born, she lost too much blood and eventually died from the blood loss(1). That left his father to care for him, and Conner had to admit, his father was the best of them all. His dad would always be there for him and never left him to do his own thing, he put Conner before everything else and made sure he had all the love any father would give his child.

Conner couldn't help but smile at the picture fondly before turning his attention to the computer screen. He had 4 new messages, one from Wally asking if they were still up for hanging out at the park today, one from the his school Metropolis High School, the third one from a classmate asking what their Geometry homework was, and the last one from his father. Conner picks up his bowl and takes a few spoonfuls while lazily answering the first three emails. He puts it down again and clicks his father's message and it read...

Good morning lazy bum!

I had an oppritunity to type this up before you woke up, isn't that great? :D What are you up to today? Did you eat? Cereal is not food btw :T At least try to make something decent (but please don't burn the kitchen O_O) How's school going from the last time we videochatted? Are you doing well? You didn't get into anymore fights did you? e_e How is everybody?

Anyways enough of the questions, I just want to let you know that I'm doing alright in case you were wondering. And for where I am right now, I can't tell you that :/ Because if I did, the whole army would be after me D8 I have to go now, I need to help train some new recruits...what a joy that'll be -_-

Anyways I love you and miss you very much, take care ok?

Love, Dad

P.S Tell Bruce I got his message the other day and tell him that he's a jerk ok? :D bye!

Conner smiled at his father's message, his father Clark was a member of the U.S Army. He was sent off to Afganistan when Conner was 13 years old, and Conner hasn't seen him for 3 years straight. His dad has attempted several times to get some time off, but the army was short of hands so Clark was never granted any time at all. Conner had to stay with long-time family friend Bruce Wayne, Gotham's local billionare, for those three years. Luckily, Bruce had an adopted son named Richard (but everybody calls him Dick) so Conner wasn't really alone. Through Dick he met Wally West, and soon enough, the three of them were inseperable. Not only that, he and Dick accompany Bruce on patrol every night.

Reason being, because Bruce is the infamous Dark Knight Batman and Dick was Robin, the Boy Wonder. Conner knows of this because he himself is a crime fighter, with superpowers. His father is not just some Sergant Major of the army, but he is also the legendary Kryptonian hero Superman, Conner is known as Superboy in the hero community. Until recently however, his dad hasn't been able to defend Metropolis like he used to, so the Justice League has to pretty much pick up the slack for him.

Conner shifted to a more comfortable position before typing up his respond to his dad's message...

Good morning (or night where ever you are) to you too dad -_-

You know I burn water, and of course cereal is food D: School is going well, I made the football team! And no I haven't gotten into any fights just to calm your nerves. I'm doing great btw, I'm gonna go hang out at the park today with Wally and Dick :D Fun, fun, fun!

Anyways, how are you dad? I know you probably already answered that, but you never know right? Hope you give those new recruits hell XD Lol, just kidding (a little...)

I gtg now, it's almost time for me to meet up with Wally and Dick, and you know how they get _

I love you too and I miss you, and I hope you come home soon :)

Love, Conner

P.S I'll make sure uncle Bruce gets the memo XD Bye!

After sending the message, Conner shut the laptop off and placed it back on the coffee table. Finishing his now soggy Lucky Charms, he placed the bowl in the sink and went to get ready for his day.

~End~
