#Diana would definitely notice how Danny resembles her and so would Superman when his mind finally quiets down

Superman would definitely give YJ a stern talking too about kidnapping people without their guardian (Match is the closest thing really because he's physically the older one) around and just, kidnapping people in general especially when they're sick and couldn't really process what was happening.
In hindsight, it was a bad move on their part, even if it was because of good intentions.
Hey! At least they managed to find the cryptids though and Connor's siblings!
Connor... probably still doesn't know how exactly to feel about this? He was under the impression that he was the only Superman clone, so finding out there was more probably threw him off a bit.
Superman is also starring at Connor, very intensely which kind of off puts him too but he doesn't want to say anything either, and then stares back at the screen showing the two other clones before going back to him and repeat.
Superman is just... thinking, about all of this. He's been cloned three times, if not more and the reality of this is sinking in. How many times has he been cloned?
How many of them are still around, if Connor exists?
Don't get him wrong, he's not saying Connor shouldn't exist (even if he's having trouble accepting him) it's just. How many failed clones did they have to go through for Connor to be here? Because if he remembered correctly, Connor was their best attempt, Lex Luthor's best attempt.
How many clones did they had to go through before Connor?
He... It's not a nice thought to dwell about. Even if all of said clones were being made to kill or replace him still, it's. Very morbid, to put it lightly.
And then there was the possibility that, he was aware existed but didn't really think about. If Superman still refused to accept Connor then, along with the rest of the Young Justice and the League backed him up.
What would have happened to him?
Superman never really thought about it before, too busy being wrapping his head around the fact that he was cloned without his knowledge and said clone was made specifically to kill him. Connor could've been retaken by Cadmus, and things would probably repeat all over again or, in another circumstance, Connor would be used as intended.
A weapon against him.
And then there was the two clones he was just made aware of, heck, one of them fought and chomped him! The older clone was light, too light, much to light even and very clearly malnourished when he held onto him. Then there was his reaction to the sun, it was as worrying as it was baffling. It was clear that he already had enough sunlight to put up a fight and was getting stronger as it went on, but looking back on his reaction after being subdued was worrying, like he had too much after being deprived of something for so long.
Then watching the teen vomit just hammered in a bit more how bad their situation was. He didn't even know it was possible for a Kryptonian to vomit from too much sunlight and it was Metropolis! There was so much sunlight that they could have had a steady intake instead of- of- of this!
And then there was the smaller, oh so tiny clone of him. Quite literally a baby that, according to the YJ, they kidnapped because of his sickness to help treat. Watching them interact was both heartwarming and thought provoking. The child tried to comfort the older while the older held onto him as if he would disappear at any moment.
Not an unfounded fear, actually, because of recent events.
And the way he also tried to distract him from Superman like Superman was something to dangerous, something to cautious of, even in his feverish state.
If anything, it should've been the other way around, seeing as they were made to kill him and all. But now... Superman doesn't know what to think anymore. All of this was happening in Metropolis, his city, and they were obviously hiding from something and because of that they ended up both malnourished and lacking sunlight.
It was hard to see how something could kill you, when was coughing and sneezing and just trying to breath while trying to comfort his older brother who just vomited from too much sunlight earlier.
It was hard to see them as weapons, watching them be anything but in the moment.
Luthor, what did you do?
He needs to inform the League about this, if not for the two clones, then at least for the possibility of there to be more of them that could be running around and the implications of it.
Danny has been reincarnated.
Which was an odd thing to realize, it wasn't even a slow one he just... snapped into it one day. One moment he was staring at a wall out of boredom the next, well, he was staring for an entirely different reason.
It was a task for his now young -he thinks around three years old?- mind to work its way through the memories, but it wasn't like he had much else to do honestly. So, what does he know?
His name is Danny, like, his actual name and not just a moniker. He was once a halfa and he already knows he's going to be missing invisibility and intangibility. He, well, died. For like, a second time which actually makes sense because reincarnation-
Anyways.
He was a clone of two people from this thing called the Justice League which, weird name but probably some government or activist group. Wonder Woman and Superman. Which were pretty weird names to name your kids but eh.
He doesn't really remember much besides that from this life, or the one from before but he's an adult! He'll figure things out once he gets out of this containment tube thing.
Did he mention he was in a test tube? He's a tube baby now. He thinks? Or maybe it's more like he's being contained.
Whatever.
So he breaks out. Thank you apparent superstrength that he has no idea why he has but he's not going to complain! He then wandered around all of the other test tubes, able to remember just enough of English to see that yea, they're dead.
He probably was too, before he had memories zapped into him. Or a vegetable.
He then finds this really big container, checks it out, then opens it because the clone inside isn't dead!
'Project Match' it said. He'll just call him Match.
Was he thanked for helping him? Nope. You would think that he would be thanked or at least somewhat respected for saving this guy but nope!
He was, quite literally, held up by his leg and dangled in the air. Who dangles a three-year-old?! Well, he was technically and adult but still! The next few things were a blur but after pulling off the old Fenton charm he found him and Match outside as he tried to stop him from attacking random people.
Luckily the charms and privilege of the youngest (he's assuming he's the youngest, because he's physically three) was more than enough to get through to him. Sure, the guy couldn't form words, really aggressive for literally no reason, really weird but also absolutely cool looking eyes. But he worked around the first issue by developing their own personal language from like grunts and stuff, the second he once again used his youngest privilege to boss him around and the third a pair of sunglasses easily fixed.
He just had to steer Match clear of those random S crest mark thingies. Which was a weird thing to hate but hey, he's not there to judge.
