The Team is finally here!

Hope you all enjoy this first chapter.

Chapter 1 – Independence Day

When they arrived at Mount Justice later that saturday, Conner felt a little nervous. The little talk he had with Claire before getting there was good and nice, but... He still didn't know what Batman was going to say about him.

Clark being there, though... It helped ease his nerves. He wouldn't let anything bad happen to him... right?

"Supey!" he heard someone shouting, and then there was a blur, and Kid Flash was in front of him, in civil clothes. "It's me, Kid Flash!"

"I figured it." he said a little dazed.

"We just got here too." he said, a little boy with raven hair appearing by his side, with sunglasses and a hoodie and a smirk on his lips.

Conner frowned.

"Robin?"

"Yep!" the boy confirmed. "Nice seeing you two together."

He pointed to Superman beside him, and Conner couldn't help but smile a little.

"Yeah." Kid Flash agreed.

"Someone put some sense into me when I got home on the fourth." Superman admitted.

Robin cackled.

"Oh, nice one."

Kid Flash seemed lost, and it took Conner a few seconds to understand. And then, to Clark: "He knows?!"

"Yep." Robin said, a wild grin on his face.

Suddenly he and Robin had a small internal joke that Kid Flash was not pleased about.

"Hey, what you guys are talking about?" he whined.

Robin only cackled again, and Conner couldn't help but giggle. Superman excused himself and went to Batman, who was at a holographic monitor a few feet away, talking with a few other adult heroes.

"Where's Aqualad?" Conner interrupted Kid's whine to ask.

"Aquaman was showing him around." answered Robin. "They should be back any minute. Now that everyone's here, Batman is probably gonna start talking very soon."

He nodded, and soon enough, Aquaman and Aqualad were there, and Batman started talking.

What he said wasn't what Conner expected at all, but he was really happy it was happening. It was amazing, wonderful, incredible. It made him feel independent and powerful, and honestly... he couldn't wait to tell Claire.

~.~

"And then, Martian Manhunter just appeared, with his niece, Miss Martian. She'll be on the team too." Conner was saying over a late dinner with Claire.

As soon as the team was formed and the rules were explained, the League had a meeting, from which Clark hadn't come yet, so when the others started going to their homes, he did it too, and Claire insisted they had pizza to celebrate the new Team and Conner's 'hero independence', as she was saying.

"Uh, so it's four boys and a girl. Nice." she hummed. "What's she like?"

Conner shrugged, not really sure of what to say.

"Nice, I think. She blushes a lot, even though she's green."

Claire laughed.

"So, Robin knows about you?" he asked, remembering the knowing look on Robin's face (even if Conner didn't saw his eyes) when Clark mentioned having someone putting sense into him.

Claire nodded, a devious smile on her lips.

"Oh, yeah. He figured it out, like, less then a month after he became Batman's protégé." she laughed. "It was funny. He and I went on several fun things together. I miss that little troll."

Conner smiled. "Is he the only one who knows?"

"From the partners, yes. Besides Robin, only Batman and Wonder Woman know about me." she shrugged again. "I think Martian Manhunter knows, but I never met him."

"Clark didn't mention that he knew."

Claire gave him a disappointed look.

"Dad probably doesn't know he knows." she said. "It's probably just a hunch of mine, given how many times J'onn had to made a mental link with the others. I just can't believe that he doesn't know."

"Oh. You think he knows, but didn't told dad that he knows."

"Yep."

"Makes sense." he shrugged, and went for the last slice of pizza.

"So, do you guys know what kind of missions you will be sent to?"

"No. The only thing Batman told us is that the missions are going to be covert. Like investigating stuff and stopping potential threats, I think. He said he would send us on a mission to test us very soon, but didn't said when."

Claire seemed to understand the logic.

"He wants you to be prepared at any minute. To make sure you'll can handle whatever situation appears in front of you." she sighed and got up with her empty plate. "It's a very Batman thing to do."

Conner laughed, picking up the other things and taking them to the kitchen after Claire.

"That's what Robin told us. He's pretty excited to be on a team. Kid Flash, too."

"I can only imagine..." she said, sighing and starting to clean the dishes.

Conner helped her, and after everything was clean, he noticed that Clark had not come home yet.

"Dad is taking too long, isn't it?" he mentioned.

Claire bit her lower lip. "Maybe... But League meetings are usually long. He should be here in a few hours, I think."

"So... we don't have anything to worry about?" Conner wanted to make sure. He wasn't around for enough time to know.

"Not for now." she smiled. "Don't worry, our dad is the world's greatest hero. He will be home soon."

Conner smiled back. "You're right."

Claire excused herself to her room, saying she was tired and needed some sleep. They said goodnight to each other, and Conner decided he didn't want to stay in the living room alone, so he turn down the lights and locked the front door, leaving the window unlocked so that their dad could enter; and then going to his room.

There, he decided it would be as a good time as ever to start unpacking the things Claire and his father had bought him earlier, so he turned his new laptop on, looking for pictures and tips on bedroom organization, and then, started putting his things on his places.

Clothes went into the wardrobe, the little things Claire thought it would be nice to have went to his desk or the shelves on the room. In a few minutes, he had everything out of their bags and the room looked... nice, he thought. Looked lived in, looked like someone cared enough to stay there.

He couldn't help the smile on his face when he realized he was finally feeling like this was his place.

With everything in place, he went for a shower, and when he got back on his room, was pleased to see that his dad was there. Looking at his shelves and bed and wardrobe... everything he had set up in place a few minutes ago.

"I see you unpacked." he smiled, still on his Superman outfit.

"Yeah." he shrugged. "Figured it would be the best thing to do, since I wasn't tired yet."

Clark smiled. "Still excited about the team?"

"Yes." he laughed, picking up a pair of boxers and shorts to sleep in. "Talked a lot with Claire about it."

"And what did she said?" his dad sat on his bed, and Conner wasn't shy - or rather, didn't have any shame on him - to change in front of him.

"She seemed happy for me, I think." he answered. "Altough, I think she was a little strange. I don't know if it is because she was tired like she said after dinner, or if something happened while we were out."

Clark frowned, long enough for Conner to see when he finished changing.

"What is it?" he asked his father.

"It's not commom for Claire to get tired. As a kryptonian, she gets her energy from the sun just like us. Even if she had a lot to do, she always has more energy than the most energetic human."

Conner frowned with that information.

"You think there's something wrong?"

Clark sighed. "I don't know. I'll try to talk to her tomorrow. For now, it's late. We should be all go to bed."

Conner nodded, and then Clark got up and went for a hug that Conner responded to imediately.

"Good night, son."

"Good night, dad." he answered as Clark got out, a smile on both their faces.

So it took me a while to post this here, and only because real life started for real as I got a new job *yay*, but I finally found some time to sit and write this, and I missed those Kents!

Tell me what you think. This will be a multi-chapter too, but I'm not sure how many chapters. I might even post a few side-stories along with this one, I'm still thinking about that.

Anyway, don't forget to tell me if you find any mistakes, so I can fix them and improve my english and my writing.

Thank you for reading the SuperTwins! xo
