I saw the word "Superboy" used several times.
Is that some kind of a joke, or just a code word?

Well, two is more than any one world should have - I am entirely too awesome for the world to need more than one of me. Why do you hate the other Superboy? And are you going to tell me who you are already?

[See? Five minutes and it's like he was never gone!]

[thirdboywonder.livejournal.com]

Two is too much to handle. You're right.

[There is a lot of space here, as if he didn't know what to write.]

I hate the second Superboy for killing my best friend.

[gottabetactile.livejournal.com]

I- He did? ....I'm sorry. He can't have really been Superboy then, there's no way anyone who calls themselves a Super would ever kill anyone.

[thirdboywonder.livejournal.com]

He wasn't really Superboy. He just called himself that.

[gottabetactile.livejournal.com]

Well I promise I'm the real deal. I'll prove it if you want.

[thirdboywonder.livejournal.com]

All right. Prove it, then.

[gottabetactile.livejournal.com]

Uh- geez, you don't screw around! How am I supposed to-

Sure, but I can't do it like this. I mean, if I'm a different Superboy to the one you met then it's not like I can write something only he'd know.

[thirdboywonder.livejournal.com]

Try me.

Alternately, figure something else out.

[gottabetactile.livejournal.com]

You sure are demanding. How close were you guys? I mean, if you didn't know each other that well then I don't want to say something only a few people know. A guys got to have some secrets.

[thirdboywonder.livejournal.com]

If you're Superboy, I probably already know your secrets.

We were close enough.

Way to be creepy. You're really not making me want to trust you whoever-you-are.

Fine, how about the guys I'm cloned from? Not many people know that part of me comes from that creep Westfield.

Or, what about.... one of the members of Young Justice? The one Fite n' Maad are so interested in. Man I hope I didn't just screw up big time. But this is another reality right?

[thirdboywonder.livejournal.com]

Of course you don't trust, me you never

Okay, Superboy. Tell me who you're cloned from, if you want.

Last I checked, everyone knew the members of Young Justice. Not that it exists anymore, where I'm from.

[added as an afterthought:]

Can't be any more screwed up than it already is.

[gottabetactile.livejournal.com]

I told you! They used DNA from Superman and that loser Westfield - from Cadmus - to make me.


Wait, what do you mean Young Justice doesn't exist? It does in my world! We only made the team a few months ago, there's no way we'd have disbanded already. What happened in your world?

.....And what's that supposed to mean, huh?

[thirdboywonder.livejournal.com]

Oh, did they? Well that explains why you're not

It doesn't mean anything, Kon.
It doesn't mean anything at all.

[gottabetactile.livejournal.com]

Oh, so now you believe me, huh? Are you going to tell me who you are already?

[thirdboywonder.livejournal.com]

I don't know what I believe yet.

I...can't, right now.
Sometime.
Later.

[gottabetactile.livejournal.com]

Whatever. Let me know if you change your mind and actually feel like talking. I'm sure you know what I look like.

[This is why we don't post when we should be working, I forget half of what I meant to write.]

[thirdboywonder.livejournal.com]

Yeah. I know what you look like.
I won't keep you in suspense forever, but it's not worth talking about here.
