    You & Me: James TW

"People, man." I swing inside the barn before landing on my feet.

"Brianna." Clark stands next to a boy. "Uh, Brianna,
this is my friend Conner. Conner, this is my fiancée, Brianna Brady-Gordon."

"Hey." I take off my mask.

"Hi." Conner waves. "You're Ghost Spider." He whispers in disbelief. "You know Spider-Man, you fought The Lizard, you saved the city and you stopped a train full of people from dying."

"And you have some gifts yourself I bet." I raise my eyebrows before locking eyes with Clark.

"Uh, n-no, I-"

"It's okay. No sweat. I don't mind acting clueless. Did it for nine years."

"Wait, you..." Conner looks between me and Clark.

"Should I put my mask back on incase you try to fry me? Involuntary, of course." I nod.

"Uh...I..uh..." He looks away before his head vision goes off, making something on the wall fall.

"Conner!" Clark exclaims.

"Conner, it's fine. Hey, hey, relax." I walk over and grip Conner's shoulders. "Conner, hey. Look at me." I tell him and does so. "When did the war of 1812 take place?"

"Uh..." He starts to think and I feel him relax. "Wait, this is a trick question."

"And you're cooled down now." I pat his arm.

"How did you know I have abilities?"

"Call it a hunch."

"I'm sorry, I-"

"Don't be. Stay here, okay? We'll be right back." I nod before leaving the barn with Clark.

"He doesn't remember anything. Tess said-"

"I know." I tell Clark. "Why do you think I swung in back there? I wanted him to know." I open the door and we head inside the house. "Okay, so, Alexander is now Conner?"

"Yeah." Clark replies. "But I'm worried about what's underneath. Brianna, memory wiped or not, this kid tried to kill you."

"He was controlled to. There's a difference."

"Brianna-"

"Wait hold on. Half Luthor, half Kent. Conner is the genetic love child of Clark Kent and Lex Luthor."

"You don't have to say it like that."

"Does he have your powers? Like, all of them?"

"He still has a lot to learn, but, yeah." Clark nods. "And all that matters is that we have a kid in the barn, and he's really freaked out. He doesn't feel like he belongs anywhere. He needs our help."
