Kon listened with rapt attention to Rory talking about the doctor. Traveling all over the place, having adventures? He was used to that. But what was fascinating to him was that Rory said he trusted him with his life.
What a life that was! Someone taking you along to see all kinds of amazing things, that you could always trust to have at your back. It sounded exciting. Superboy was often that person for other people--the exciting character in someone else's life that took them by the hand and got them involved in a ton of excitement. The idea of someone else like that, someone that he got the distinct feeling would be even more interesting than he was, was, well...interesting.
But the fear stuff, that--
"Superman doesn't get afraid. Ever. So I don't either." He squirmed a bit, his body language revealing the opposite of his words, "Like, for instance, I'm not afraid right now about this age thing. Not at all."
