Robin watched Lex Luthor from the side of his eyes. The man was nonthreatening, a deep contrast to his older self. Having met the older Luthor both in costume and out, it was strange to see the man this young, and well, not evil.
He had of course heard from Bruce what the man had been like during school, and when Clark was in a retrospective mood had heard about the Smallville years. He had also heard about the man from Ollie but he had learned not believe much of what the man said.
Robin noticed that Superboy turned to stare up at the bridge, a sign that Clark was most likely getting near. Robin frowned, too fast, how would Clark explain how fast he had got there? It had barely been five minutes. This meant of course that Clark had most likely been trying to keep it slow but was too worried to keep to it.
Robin tried to focus back on figuring out the puzzle on how they had got there.
Robin frowned down at the information he had on his hand-computer, it didn't have everything that was on the bat-computer, not enough room and too much risk it could fall into the wrong hands, but it did have a great deal of information.
It was lucky he had it with him.
That was the problem though; he hadn't had it with him. He hadn't been in costume either before they had landed in this universe either. He had worn a mask, mainly because his glasses risked falling off when doing stunts but he had wearing his acrobatic workout clothes. Yet, after that light had gone away he had both his computer and his uniform on.
The others, besides Wally didn't seem to have noticed, but they hadn't changed clothes. It was strange though, and it most likely meant that the person who sent them here hadn't meant to harm them.
Maybe.
Robin heard Superboy gasp. A small sound the others over looked, but, Robin had been waiting for it. He glanced up and saw Clark starting to make his way down to the bank of the river, slipping and sliding on the wet sand and dirt. Robin sighed and went over t stand by Superboy.
"That's-" Superboy started, but Robin cut him off.
"Clark." Robins tone was resolute and firm. "Clark Kent."
Superboy glanced at the boy next to him before turning his gaze back to Kent. It was hard to believe it was superman looking back a second time, the hair was too long and well he never imagined Superman in Flannel and jeans. Even if the flannel was of red and blue.
Robin sighed, "His since of fashion hasn't changed since he was young then," Robin mumbled as he took in the sight of the man who would become like an uncle to him.
Superboy silently memorized the detail that Superman absently liked flannel, as he usually did for the few facts that Robin and Kid Flash seemed to almost accidentally drop.
Clark walked over to Lex, trying to ignore the gazes of the teenagers. They were all staring at him in shock, besides the smallest boy who was staring at a boy who Clark thought looked strangely familiar, who seemed like he was trying to bore a hole in Clark though staring alone.
"Lex, are you alright?" He asked noticing that Lex's clothes were wet. Lex nodded a small smirk coming to his face after a moment.
"Yeah, just learned my lesson about getting bored in Smallville." Lex snarked gazing at his best friend.
Clark chuckled, "You just find trouble everywhere don't you?" Clark smiled back.
He turned to look at the teenagers who seemed shock by his and Lex's bantering, well except for the small one, once again. He seemed to be barely being attention as he stared down at his…
Was that a hologram?
Clark blinked, that boy had a watch-thingy that was projecting a hologram. Clark turned to Lex and took in a deep breath bracing himself.
"What's going on?"
Lex shrugged somehow managing to look both well put together and sheepish at the same time, "We seem to have time travelers."
Clark expelled the breathe slowly, "Time Travelers." He stated slowly turning to gaze back at the group of teenagers. A couple that looked older than him.
Time travelers.
Sometimes he missed his life before he had found out he was an alien.
"How did you find these time travelers?" Clark asked gazing at the bright green girl, who had finally stopped staring at him and was now talking in a low voice to a blonde girl dressed in green. The only one who was still staring at him was the familiar looking boy wearing the black shirt with a red shied and the letter S on it. In fact Clark didn't think the boy had blinked since Clark had arrived on the beach.
Lex pointed to the side of the bridge, which was broken again.
Lex pouted for a moment, "I lost another car." He said giving a scathing look towards the lake. Clark tried to keep himself from smiling and hid it by staring down at the wet sand they were staring at.
Clark turned back towards the teenagers, feeling sheepish. "Umm, so what are your names?"
The small boy walked forward finally it seemed paying attention to what was going on. "I'm Robin," The boy stated before pointing at the familiar looking boy, "That's Conner."
All of the teenagers suddenly stopped what they were doing and stared at Robin. He stared back at them, before waving a hand through the air in a dismissing gesture.
"I'm Wally." A boy in brightly colored clothes was suddenly shaking Clark's hand. "Now we're just meeting now but in the future I know you and your cool except, when you're not which has been happening more than usual but-its-okay. " The boy said this all very fast and Clark could only blink down at him as he said it.
Wally let go of Clark's hand and the Blonde in green waved slightly to get Clark's attention. "I'm Artemis." She stated frowning at him.
The green girl smiled widely at him, "I'm M'gann M'orzz, but you can call me Megan!" Clark smiled back at her, before turning to the last teenager.
The dark-skinned boy nodded slowly at Clark before speaking, "My name is Kaldur." Clark nodded as the fished and looked back at Lex, who had come to stand beside him.
"Where are you going to stay?" Lex asked, and Clark knew what he was going to offer as soon as he had asked the question.
The teenagers looked between Kaldur and Robin both who frowned. Robin gazed up, "We can get a hotel."
Wally gazed at Robin, "How, you don't…"
He looked around at the others before zipping over and starting a conversation with Robin using low voices. The conversation went back and forth for a few minutes to low for Clark to hear unless he developed super hearing early. It was finally ended when Wally made a closing statement that the rest of the group could hear.
"You can't hack and "borrow" money from your future adoptive father's bank account!"
Sometimes Clark really wished his life was normal.
