Super Volume 2

Convincing Kids

Connor's POV
I took a deep breath as I walked into the room where my dads were waiting. "Hello. I'm your son." I waved awkwardly. They just blinked at me, and I cleared my throat. "I uh... I know this is crazy. I know you don't want to believe me, or any of us, but I really need you too. We need your help. I need your help." I explained. Purple stepped up to me. "And why should we listen to you? Just because you put yourself in a blue hood, and carry a bow doesn't make you an Arrow. It makes you a fan boy. What pain have you endured to deserve that title?" He snapped. I took a step back. "I haven't, because I'm your son! I inherited the role!" I exclaimed. He huffed a laugh and bent down to look me in the eyes. "You're not my son." He spat. "Purple." Blue snapped. He stood up and looked back at him. Blue walked to him and grabbed his shoulder. "If he was our son, you have no right to say that to him. Not after what happened to us." He shook his head. Purple glanced back at me for a moment and sighed. "You believe him?" He asked. "Of course not! That's ridiculous! I just think we should hear him out. I mean look at him. He's shaking." Blue gestured to me, and I gripped my arms. "He's pathetic... fine." Purple rolled his eyes. I took a deep shaky breath. "You're right. I guess I am pathetic. Here I am, talking to my own dads that will never believe me, trying to convince them that I'm their son! While my team struggles to make a plan without any supervision, and I'm not any help to them either! And on top of all that, my girlfriend has been captured, and I have no way of telling if she's ok, and even if I did, I'd have no way of saving her! Cause I'm only human in a team made up of supers, aliens, and mutants! Pretty pathetic, right?!" I shouted. Tears started to form in my eyes, and the two were taken back. I dropped my head and gripped at my hair. "I haven't even told you about her yet... and now I'll never get the chance." I whined. There was a short silence. "Connor?" Purple asked. I looked up in shock. "Dad? How do you know my name?" I asked. "That's what I've always wanted to name my son. Look, if what you all have been talking about is true, then we'll help you." He agreed. "You will?!" I asked. "Well, I've seen this type of pain before, so maybe you are an Arrow." He shrugged. Blue smiled at him. "But we can't convince the others, and we can't do anything without Gold's permission. You have to talk to her." He explained. "We can't. Her daughter has been captured too!" I exclaimed. Purple and Blue exchanged a concerned look. "We'll see what we can do, but talk to whoever you can. This isn't a two man job." Purple said.

Max's POV
Bailey and I went next. As soon as we got into the room, she shot an arrow at us. Bailey caught it and threw it right back at Lime. Mom caught it too, and pulled it back against her bow. "Hi mom!" Bailey smiled. "I don't know who you people are, but I'm certainly not your mother, and I'm done with this bullshit!" She shot the arrow again, and we dodged it. "Stop it! Let us explain!" I groaned. "I've heard the story already! We got turned into teens? That's insane! And impossible! Besides, even if I did believe you, there's no way in hell I'd ever have two kids!" She yelled, and pulled back another arrow. Bailey and I glanced at each other. "We're twins." We explained. Lime slowly put down her bow. "Really? You don't look like twins." She raised an eyebrow. We rolled our eyes. "Please mom. I know that you're angry. Dad says that you were angry for a long time, even after you switched sides, but it went away. You will find your peace, mom." I assured her. She squinted at us. "Your dad?" She asked. "Yeah. Your husband, who's counting on us to bring you home!" Bailey exclaimed. Lime nearly dropped her bow. "I... have a family? A functional family?" She asked, shocked. We chuckled. "Yes mom. We're not normal by any means, but functional? Yes." I nodded. She looked down in thought, and slowly put her arrow away. "Do I get any taller?" She asked. I laughed and Bailey smiled. "About as tall as me." She shrugged. Lime huffed. "I guess it's something. Ok! I'll help you." She agreed. "Really? That's it?" I asked. "I can shoot you again, if you want." She shrugged. "No! No, I'm ok! Do you think you can maybe talk to Gold?" I asked. "Pfft- ha!" Lime started laughing in my face. I frowned. "Sorry! But that's funny! Talking to Gold? Ha! I'm sorry, but no one gets through to Gold. Like... ever! I may pride myself on being her best friend, but even I'm no use when it comes to her brain." She shrugged. I sighed. "Ok. Thanks anyway. We'll come back with a plan soon." Bailey smiled.

Dylan's POV
Right as I came in, I got shoved up against the wall. "Who the fuck do you people think you are?! Taking us in pairs?! Brainwashing our friends?! What's wrong with you people?!" Silver shouted. "And why the fuck did you bring both of us in here? We're not even dating!" Pink snapped. I rolled my eyes and huffed. "Back up!" I yelled, and my hands caught fire. They both jumped back, and I extinguished the flames. Pink was stunned. She slowly pointed at my hand. "You... you have fire magic." She mumbled. "Yes! And so do you! Or you will! And you have ice magic, Silver!" I replied. She was taken back. "I know you're not together now, but from what you've told me, I know for a fact that you have a crush on her!" I pointed to Silver, and she blushed. "You do?" Pink asked, stunned. "No! I- uh- shut up, kid! You know nothing! And having powers doesn't prove shit!" Silver snapped. "You were told that you'd get your powers when you finally found serenity, and you did! When you were finally happy with mom! And I believe you gave her your virginity." I explained. "Ooh, I like that part." Pink smirked. "What?!" Silver shrieked. "My name is Dylan, and I'm your daughter. I know that's insane, but you have to believe me. I need your help to save my friends, and to save you! I need my adult moms back." I explained. "Don't we all? Too bad, Dylan, cause we ain't them!" Pink laughed. I huffed and furrowed my brows. Then I thought for a moment, while they turned away. "It's not your fault." I said. They stopped. "I know what happened to you, Pink. Something that hardly anyone knows the truth about, and I promised to never tell anyone, but this seems important. It's not your fault, and you didn't deserve to go through that." I told her. Silver looked over at her in shock, and Pink took a deep breath. "How would she know that?" She asked, Sil. "She's just stringing you along, Pink. There's no way she knows." Silver answered. "You want me to say it outright? I was trying to save you the pain, but ok! You were-!" I stopped as she spun around. The glare coming from her eyes was strong enough to pierce through my head. I cowered under her gaze. "I'm sorry, mom." I looked down. Pink looked back at Silver. "How would she know that?" She asked again. Silver huffed. "She won't." She immediately shot an arrow at me. I panicked and froze it mid-air. It dropped to the ground and shattered. Silver was taken back. "Do you believe me yet? Cause we're running out of time." I spat. They just stared at me for a minute. Then Silver sighed deeply. "Fine." She snapped.

When I left, I walked over to Retro. "Your turn." I said. She huffed a laugh. "No need. I know my dad. Watch." She smirked. We walked over to the glass door and Retro knocked on it. "Hey dad!" She yelled. Orange glanced over and his eyes widened. "Oh god- that's totally my kid." He groaned. Retro chuckled to herself, and I shook my head with a smile. "Ok, listen here girls. You can tell my team whatever you want, but I won't be so easily persuaded. You little fakes will never get me to believe you." Gold snapped. "I believe them." Zill admitted. "What?!" Gold shrieked. Zill just shrugged. "You believe that we had a daughter?" Gold asked. Zill smirked. "Yes. I do." She nodded. Gold blushed and turned back to us. "No! You can't just lie to us with things we want to hear! It's just cruel!" She snapped. "I can tell you something you don't want to hear." Retro offered, and Gold raised an eyebrow. "Your dad is alive, and he's possibly trying to kill you, your sister, and your daughter. Also, he has your daughter captured right now." She explained. Zill snapped her head over, and Gold was taken back. "Now what are you gonna do about it?" Retro smirked. Gold's eye twitched. "We'll help you." Zill agreed.
