Superboy still was quite unsure what exactly Stacy was. His images of space ships were at the largest the size of the Enterprise or the like. Large to be sure, but not large enough to hold a city. Which is where he was. Rather than being shocked at the size of the city in the ship, he was questioning whether this was really a ship at all. Despite the fact that everyone, including apparently the ship itself, was telling him that; he found it hard to believe.

Being used to Justice Mountain and only have a few people he knew around most of the time wasn't helping really and he felt... perhaps a bit claustrophobic? Or was it agoraphobic? Was it possible to feel BOTH claustrophobic and agoraphobic at the same time? Superboy wasn't sure. That seemed like a contradiction and yet he was uncomfortable with both the vastness of the city and the way the sheer number of people around him invaded his normally empty personal space.

As such he spent his time wandering the city, looking at stuff and generally trying to avoid being noticed... likely to little success given the large S shield he was wearing and general unease.

Superboy just sighed,"Sure."

"C'mon!" Kon said, taking to the air and turning and waiting for the other Super to follow.

Superboy sighed inwardly, of COURSE he could fly. "I'd rather walk," he said. He wasn't going to give this guy MORE things to bother him about.

"This place is waaay too big for that," Kon said, darting back down and grabbing Superboy by the arm, dragging him up in the air with his teke. "Unless you wanna take hours, hoofing it's a bad idea."

Then he let go, fully expecting the other Super to fly.

Superboy wasn't expecting that. He also wasn't expecting Kon to be so much faster than him. Or stronger than him for that matter. Of course none of this was as bad as the fact that he could fly. And Superboy couldn't... and was thus falling. Until he wasn't. No, then he was just in a fairly large dent in the ground and rather unhappy. Also embarrassed. But mostly angry. Very angry.

He could tell he was invulnerable, at least. Clap the guy on the shoulder and you could tell he was the type of solid that you knew could stop bullets. So he'd assumed he could fly, too.

Any second he'd...annnnnny second...

Oh snap.

"Oh snap," was all Kon could say. It was the kind of phrase he hadn't said in a fair number of years, but it was the only thing that was appropriate for the situation.

He floated back on the ground again and landed, looking guilty.

"Sooo...can't fly, huh?"

Superboy would punch Kon if he thought it would do anything. But the guy was obviously more powerful than him. "No." He growled more than said. He could still be intimidating though. Even if he was certain it would do jack against Kon.

"Why is that exactly? The not-flying? Do you have the TTK?"

Superboy blinked for a moment, "TTK? Never heard of it."

"Tactile telekinesis? Our trademark superpower?"

"Nope. Don't have that power." He thinks for a moment, "Unless Superman has a power I don't know about."

"Nah, tactile telekinesis is a Superboy exclusive."

He rubbed his chin, eying the younger Super.

"Weird. In the beginning, all I had was the TTK, and it let me imitate Big Blue's powers. Then again, I didn't know what it was at first and though I had his powers."

Superboy nodded, "I don't think I have that." He wasn't sure, as far as he knew his Powers were just Superman's powers... or at least some of them.

"So you have the genuine article: superstrength and invulnerability."

Interesting.

"But you can't fly."

Also interesting.

Superboy looked down, "Not being able to fly surprised me."
