Melting Clock: Quarantine

After Sam Henderson's announcement, the Contagion Containment and Treatment lab was going to get busy. Anyone suspected of being affected by the mysterious affliction would be brought here, and put into one of the large bubbles that would keep any potential contagious diseases in - and the patients themselves. Once in inside, they wouldn't be able to get out again until the Medical staff had cleared them.

And before they could do that, they needed to find out what was causing this - and why.

They had a lot of hard work ahead of them.

To say that Tim was worried about Conner was an understatement. And even calling it that was generous. He was more than aware of his friend's lack of chronological time, and concerned about how far back this was going to go-- as well as how fast. Would it stop? He didn't want to risk that. He'd have to keep an eye on this, on Conner...

Tim approached his friend's bubble silently at first, not wanting to say anything for a moment. He simply crept in, feeling a certain amount of dread. But the conversation itself shouldn't be too bad. Hell, maybe he could help Conner out, somehow, by talking to him. Figure something out, or else... Well, he'd just have to hope, for the time being.

"Hey," Tim said, deciding to make his presence known then. He wasn't going to insult him by asking him how he was or anything though.

Kon'd been rubbing the back of his head, his hand keeping part of his head in shadow. Now he pulled it away, and...

The fade was back. When Kon turned around to look at him, it was with a much younger face than when Tim was last in the room.

"Hey."

A pause and then he admitted awkwardly, "Hate you break it to you, Rob, but I think I might be forgettin' you soon. Impulse, too. I'm losin' it."

Tim hesitated for a moment-- baulked at the sight. Conner was already that far back, already beginning to forget a lot... Tim was, admittedly, a little bit scared for him. And he was a bit hurt. But that was selfish-- he was mostly just plain scared.

He came a bit closer, silent for another brief moment. "You're not getting rid of me that easily," Tim said, voice half-joking, despite the admission. Even if he was forgotten-- like hell was he leaving his friend behind.

"I remember you being here now, so...so you won't be gettin' rid of me that easily either. I might forget how you're my bud, but I'm not gonna forget you're my bud."

Kon bit his lower lip, then stopped when he realized he was doing it.

He was scared. Obviously, he wasn't willing to say so, but he was.

"Good," Tim said simply, and he managed a small smile. It was, admittedly, a relief. At least he wouldn't have to worry about that, too. He was still going to be a comfort-- hopefully.

Of course, he wasn't going to draw attention to the fact that Conner could use that comfort. Tim didn't need anything to confirm that his friend was feeling scared, didn't want to force anything on him.

"I figured you wouldn't mind some company, at least," he said. "And-- I know you wouldn't remember this, but I promised I'd help you deal with... basically any problem, really." It was something more specific than that-- but that didn't matter, right then. He just wanted to make the intent clear.

"Don't remember it, no."

There was a lot he was fairly sure he couldn't remember now.

"I...I appreciate it, though."

Superboy conked his head against the side of the bubble.

"When do you think they're letting me out of here? If it was contagious you'd have probably already got the deaging version of the sniffles."

Tim nodded. Conner was way past the point to remember that, so it wasn't surprising-- but it wasn't the context that mattered, it was sentiment. So even if it was terrible to think that Conner was going back... well, that wasn't the point with that.

He nodded, confirming Conner's concern. "You're right. I haven't shown any signs of it, and neither have the doctors who have dealt with you-- or others. They probably just want to confirm it, first."

"Yeah, probably."

He was quiet.

"Rob, Thanks for just being here, I guess. I don't really feel like talkin'. You mind...just hangin' out for a while?"

Tim nodded to Conner's request, and moved to take a seat next to the bubble, leaning his back partially against it. Staying close. "That's fine," he said, glancing to make sure he could see him out of the corner of his eye at least. "Just let me know if you need anything. I'll just stay here."
