Melting Clock: Quarantine

[cityship]

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.

Superboy nodded, "Yeah." Strangely though, that was normal to him. It was the only real experiences he had after all.

"You're the one in real trouble though." He didn't understand how Kon could take this so lightly, anymore than Kon could understand his lack of freaking out. Which really it was less that he was adjusted and more than freaking out wasn't his thing. He was more of a brooder, which was thankfully easier to hide. Especially when one looked like they were brooding pretty much at all times.

"I nearly melted once. I've nearly kicked it I don't know how many times. After a while, you just figure what happens happens."

He shrugged, and then admitted, just because it seemed right to, to his fellow clone:

"'Course I'm freaked out, but sweatin' over it's not going to help me, is it? I just gotta hope it turns out for the best. That's all you can do."

Superboy smiled at him. "Or you could rely on your friends." Ms. Martian had rubbed off on him. But that thought just made him happy. Kon was right, you gotta just let what happens happen and keep on going.

Kon smiled a small smile.

"That's true, too. I got good people working on figuring this out."

Superboy nodded, "I found a place." He figured he might as well tell Kon where he was staying.

"Yeah? Someplace comfy?"

[projectkr-e-16.livejournal.com]

He smiled, "I guess. With Ben Tennysen."

"Hey, great! You made a new friend," he said. "Best way to get used to this place is to take some time to appreciate the people. Them's some good people on this ship."

He nodded, "Is there anything I can do?" He wasn't really sure what he could do either. But if there was something he could do he would try.

"Just take care of yourself," Kon said.

He looked a little awkward.

"I really wanted to show you around, help you out. I know you probably don't need it, but genetically, we're like bros, right? Cousins, at least. I wanted to help you out. So...just make sure you get settled in alright. One less thing for me to worry about."

Superboy nodded, he hadn't expected to like Kon. Nor had he expected to connect with him so quickly, especially after the flight incident. But seeing him like this, essentially helpless. Well... it was harrowing. It also made him see him for what he was, what they both were really, children. "You to."

He then turned and left the room, not exactly content but he didn't really have anything else to say. And he couldn't do anything for Kon except not worry him.
