#bart immediately claims martha though in this

[radioactive-earthshine]

I know DC won’t do it because they’re cowards, but in my heart of hearts, I know that if Kon had introduced Bart to the family as his bf, not only would Ma and Pa have loved him, Baby Martha would’ve loved him as her stepdad

Your heart is pure and correct. Bonus for Lophi having found a family too with Ma and Pa (we ain't killing her to prop Konbart up).

Ma and Pa would be delighted with Bart and their hearts would be at ease with him. It's never easy to be with a Super, loving them is easy yes, but dealing with the the dangers and complexities associated with them is something else entirely.

But seeing the way both Kon and Bart glow around each other as they celebrate each other's weirdness brings them joy. And they keep the pride stuff out a lot longer.

What about something where Conner has a massive crush on Raven. Always thought it would be a cool dynamic even if it didn't go anywhere. It would be cool in Hfab, but any of au would be cool. Just a weird parallel of Jayrose/Jerirea, Jaykara/Konrea. Ha, just a thought.

Hello,

It’s a good thought, and though this probably did not turn out as well as I had hoped for, I hope you enjoy! =)

Yes, it’s set in the Hopes for a Bastard Universe.

Hell of a Woman…

In his short lifespan Conner had obtained the following in less than a year:

-A Mom, Lois had marched into the Titan’s Tower afterdiscovering his mere existence and dragged him home with her, announcing to herhusband and son, and adopted daughter that he was now theirs.

-A Dad, Clark or Kal-El, was of extreme reluctance untilrecently to even claim him. But something had changed, and Conner didn’t knowwhat that was, but he wasn’t going to dwell on it; it was nice having a dad.

-A Grandmother; Martha had been the one to name him, afterfuriously scolding Clark for not immediately naming him, had named him; bothhis Kryptonian name; after consulting Kara; and civilian name. Conner, for her uncle.

-A Girlfriend, M’gann was amazing, though he wasn’t exactlysure how he had gotten her or why she even wanted to date him. But the sex… Connerwas pretty sure that was heaven.

-A Little Brother, Jon had been the first to adopt him, andimmediately declared to all that brothers were cooler than sisters, which hadhad both Red Robin and Robin rolling their eyes.

-An Older Sister; Kara had adored him from moment one, andeven claimed that despite him being her cousin he was her brother.

-Another Older Sister posing as Kara’s twin; Karen justsneered at him, but he sided with Kara and sneered back at Karen.

-An Older Brother; Chris’s arrival was a shocking twistafter his pod had crashed into Gotham Harbor when Raven’s powers were goingnuts apparently.

His best friends were Tim, Bart, and Cassie and it wasawesome. Conner liked being out of the Pod, it was amazing, and as he sat inTitan’s Tower alone he was eating cold pizza. M’gann had gone with her uncle tothe Watch Tower for a mission; deep space peace treaty thing. Tim was inGotham, Bart was on a date with Jaime, and Cassie was training at Themyscira.So he thought he was alone.

“Everything is fine, I promise,” a smoky monotone said whichhad Conner’s head whipping around as Raven appeared. She was talking on thephone, and reading a massive book as she walked in. “I’ll call if somethingshould come up, but I’m fine, I promise.”

Conner smiled at Raven who waved a bit at him as she walkedto the fridge.

Here’s the thing, Conner remembered his arrival to the Towerand he remembered how scared and terrifying it all was. He’d been terrified andaimed to hurt them all to get away, then she’d walked in. Raven had commandedhis and everyone’s attention, as usual, and she had stood there very patientlyas she talked to him like he was a person and not a thing. He kind of had asoft spot for her for that action. Now, Raven wasn’t particularly pretty; Kara,Donna, Cassie, the Batgirls, they were pretty, M’gann was beautiful, but Raven…there was something striking and unique about her. Conner just liked looking ather, then there was the smoky gravel of her voice, it was a voice for thedirtiest sex ever according to Zachary. Add in Raven gentle, indifferent empatheticpersonality, Conner thought she was hot. Zachary was notorious for just staringat her, but Conner found a better approach to that.

“Alright, yes, I’ll call you next week, love you too, bye,”Raven said as she hung up and shoved her phone in her pocket.

“Morning Conner,” she greeted him as her powers opened aportal and she stuck her hand in only to pull out a pie from wherever she hadreached too.

“Hey Rae,” he smiled.

“Pie? It’s apple,” she offered as she pulled a knife out ofone of the drawers.

“Sure,” he smiled. Another thing, Raven was just kind.

“So what brings you to the Tower?” she asked handing him aplate, it smelled divine. Conner loved pie, he liked Grandma’s pie especially.

“Nothing really, was going to hang with M’gann,” he said.

“How’s that going?” she asked.

“Well,” he nodded, blushing a bit as her dark gaze settledon him. No, pretty was too generic to describe Raven. “It’s… complicated.”

“Every family is complicated,” Raven pointed out.

“Kal still won’t look at me,” he muttered.

“Understand that that is not your fault,” Raven said gentlyas she reached over to him and he looked up again as her hand touched hisshoulder. “The emotions Kal has for you are complicated, they are not yourfault, and they will be sorted out, in time, in the meantime, all you can do ishave patience.”

“You seem to be an expert in that,” Conner chuckled.

“No.” she said as her face fell to one of horror, he laughedthen. “Bats and Gotham have destroyed my patience,” she sighed.

There was a blaring alarm in the Tower and on all the screenspopped up the sight of Felix Faust unleashing some magical horror upon thecity.

“Time to get to work,” Raven sighed as she stood up and hercloak materialized as did her uniform.

“Want help?”

“I want you alive, so I’ll see you soon,” she smiled. “Thanksthough, Kon,” she waved him off and Conner sighed as he looked to the screen.He liked Raven’s self-assured confidence. He liked the indistinguishable colorof her eyes, he liked her voice, and he found her so beautiful. And very out ofall their leagues. Still, he liked watching her walk, the way she handledherself, and the way she handled all of them. Alright, so he might have foundher the tiniest bit attractive; and if M’gann heard that he’d be in trouble,and if Jason ever heard it then he’d be dead. Still, he watched her on thetelevision and he smiled as Faust wavered before Raven unleashed hell. She wasa hell of a woman, and he was going to sit here eating pie and enjoying herwork.

Raven was a woman in a class all of her own.

And he kind of found it hot.
