A/N: Hey! Sorry for the delay! I guess You can this is the final chapter! :D Yay! Thanks for reading this to the end! Hugs and kisses for you all!

Review response: Elemental-Aura-Woah! Clam down there, a person can only take so much questions-Ahem, Yes most of the Leaguers would be Conner's aunts and uncles and they would babysit him most of the time (Mostly Batman) Yes, Wonder Woman is Conner's Godmother (but she and Bruce aren't a couple) I haven't really introduced Kara yet, but if I continue with this AU I might eventually. Yes, he may be a little more experienced with the whole hero job, but I see Kaldur as a more suitable leader due to his keeping a cool head durning mission. I never really shipped SuperMartian, but I'll think about it. I haven't really given Match much thought, but you'll just have to wait and see ;D And thank you for your condolences :)

Blue Eyes Angel 2-The Justice League has been around for at least 3 years before Conner was born (which was in 1995) And yes, the Original Seven would be his aunts and uncles (as I said above)

Well then children~! I think IT'S MURDER STORY TIME! YAAAY~! Hope youa ll enjoy the last chapter of "Dad Is the Highest Rank"

Chapter 13-Coming Home

It's been three days since the Cadmus incident, and the decision has been made. Batman had allowed the teen heros their own team! They are now currently standing in a secret cave within Mount Justice in Happy Harbor, Rhode Island.

Many of the League members were there cleaning up and dusting the place out for the young heros use. Conner looked around with a wide smile as he watched Green Lantern carry a stray hunk of metal out of the way with his ring.

Conner heard Batman clear his throat, obviously asking for the teens undivided attention. The teens turned to the Dark Knight, seeing that he had their attention he spoke, "This cave was the original secret sancutary of the Justice League..." he walked several paces to the right from Aquaman. 'Yay, history time...' Conner thought dully, trying his best not to sigh loudly, cause that would obviously irk his godfather.

"We're calling it into service again, since you four are determined to stay together and fight the good fight," Bruce continued, a small teasing tone in his usually grave voice, Conner and Dick exchanged knowing glances at one another.

"But you'll do it on League terms..." Batman emphasized, giving a look at the four teens. "Red Tornado volunteered to live here and be your superviser-" "*cough*janitor*cough" Conner hid between his fake coughs, Dick and Wally stifled their giggles and Kaldur shot a dark look at the Kryptonian. "-And, Black Canary is in charge of training," Conner shot a wide smile at his Aunt Dinah, who gave him a wink.

"And I, will deploy you on missions..." Batman finished. "Real missions?" Dick said, giving his father a challenging look through his sunglasses. "Yes, but covert," Bruce answered his son, approaching the teens now. "The League will still be in charge of the obvious stuff, like alien invasions and all that jazz" Flash spoke up, pointing at the elbem on his chest, his nephew's eyes following the gesture. Conner let out a small laugh at the statement.

"But Cadmus proves that the bad guys are getting smarter, that's why Batman needs a team that can operate on the sly," Aquaman spoke. Batman nodded at the Atlantean's statement, "The five of you will be that team..." Bruce said, looking back at the boys.

"Cool-Wait five?" Dick inquired, arching a slim brow. Batman turned his gaze behind the boys, the teens turned around following the Dark Knight's gaze.

Appraching from the zeta beams was Martian Manhunter with a young girl probably around Conner's age. She had red hair and freckles, not to mention green skin to boot!

"This is the Martian Manhunter's neice, Miss Martian." Batman said, Miss Martian gave the boys a shy smile and a small "Hi" standing idly by her uncle. Conner heard Wally mutter "I'm liking this gig more every minute!" Conner rolled his eyes "Don't start harassing the new teamate Kid Grapist," the Boy of Steel said, crossing his arms in disbelief at the ginger.

Wally shot Conner a glare, Uncle Barry and Dick laughing in the background, Miss Martain stared at them meekly. "When Miss M leaves, I'm going to smack you," Wally growled, Conner held up his hands in mock defeat "Oh, I'm pissing in my pants here," the Boy of Steel mocked. Now everyone in the room shared a hearty laugh (except Red Tornado and Batman)

"Oh, I almost forgot...There is one more surprise," Batman suddenly spoke. The boys and Miss Martian turned to the Dark Knight, "Oh my gawd! Is it Call of Duty Black Ops?" Wally spoke excitedly, Flash rolling his eyes behind the younger speedster's back. "No, it's a surprise for Superboy..." Bruce said, looking directly at his confused godson. "For...me?" the said teen questioned, not liking this at all...His godfather can be unpredictable at times...well, most of the time actually.

Bruce just gave a ghost of a smirk at Conner before turning his cowled head to the zeta beams. The tube glew with yellow light, and the computerized female voice spoke...

"Recognized: Superman 01"

Conner thought his heart stopped beating.

Materializing from the golden light, in all of his blue and red Boy Scout glory, was Conner's father. He looks just like he used to 3 years ago, blue eyes glimmering with mirth, permanate smile gracing his handsome face, his ebony hair slicked back in his usual style with that annoying curl adorning his forehead, and he is as tall and as built as usual.

Clark stepped fully onto the cave floor, gazing directly at his one and only child. Clark's smile widened and said casually "Hey!" raising a hand in hello. Conner stood there in complete and utter shock, he couldn't believe what was happening right now, at this very moment in time or in the whole fucking universe. His dad was home...

Not caring if his friends and Miss Martian were standing there, not giving a complete utter fuck if the freakin' League was watching, because all the fucks he would have given flew out the window as he ran towards his father and was soon entrapped withing those familiar strong arms.

Conner clapsed his arms tightly around his father's built figure, clutching at the red cape as if he were to disappear at that very moment. Clark too wrapped his arms around his only son protectively and tightly, not even giving the slightest thought of letting go.

"Hi Dad..." Conner mumbled shakingly through the tears streaming down his cheeks.

Clark thread his large hand through his son's raven hair, "Hey son..." he whispered back, his own tears slightly altering his speech.

Conner buried his face into his father's chest, his tears staining the "S" shield, "Hi Dad...Hi Dad..." he repeated, his sobs wracking his body now. Clark chuckled softly as his son repeated the words.

"Hi Dad...I missed you Dad..."

"I missed you too..."

"I love you..."

"I love you too."

Conner sobbed as the words were spoken, he couldn't hear the quiet sniffles coming from Miss Martian as she and the others watched the heartfelt reunion.

Conner continued cry and sob into his father's uniform, the world completely forgotten.

After awhile of sobs, cries, hugging and comforting words, the Kryptonians pulled away from one another. Clark reached up and smoothed back Conner's now mussed up hair. Conner looked up at his father, red and puffy eyed, his lower lip still quivering a bit. Clark smiled and wiped his tears away, "You've grown so much...I'm so proud of you," he said, the pride in his voice prominet in his deep voice.

Conner managed a crooked smile for his father, wiping the rest of his tears away with his arm. Taking a few deep breaths, he said "Welcome home Dad..."

Clark's smile brightened, "It's good to be home..." he said, clapsing his son in his arms again.

"Let's hear it for Superman! Welcome home soldier!" Flash hollered cheerfully, everyone in the room broke into applause, the sound echoing throughout the whole cave.

After the clapping subsided, Conner walked over to his teammates with his father's warm arm around his shoulders.

Today is the day...
