Who Are You?
Season Two: Episode 7

Vosh stared at Conner's limp body. His skin was paler than before. His eyes didn't flutter, and his chest barely rose. There were electrodes on either side of his chest and 2 patches covering the bullet holes.

If it weren't for the monitor, you'd think Conner was dead. "Please don't die," Vosh whispered, squeezing Conner's hand.


The woman he'd come to know as Kory checked Conner's vitals. "He's not dead yet. But any information you could give us will help him." She said, her beautiful green eyes looking into his.


"I already told you guys everything I know. He was born in a lab, his dads are Superman and Lex Luthor. I don't know anything else, neither of us do. We've only been free four days..." Vosh said for the millionth time.


Kory sighed. "And you said it was a lab that imprisoned you both? Cadmus?"

"Yes. Didn't you read the file I gave you?" He asked her, annoyed.

"I did but that only leaves me with more questions."

"Join the club." He retorted.

Kory realized she'd get nowhere with him like this. Dick and Dawn entered the room. They saved her from the cosmic teenage angst.

"Is he stable?" Dick asked.

"For the moment," Dawn said. "Whatever they shot him with left something behind. Some sort of toxin." Dawn explained.

"This doesn't make any sense. I watched bullets bounce off of him like rubber pellets. I don't understand how this happened." Vosh said.

"Maybe we should take him to a hospital." Dick suggested.

Vosh jumped onto his feet, eyes wide. "What? No. I-if you move him, he could die. Or Cadmus could find us." He said, frantic.

"The boy has special abilities." Kory said.

"Yeah, I think he's safest here." Dawn added. "We won't let anyone hurt you." She said looking Vosh in the eye.


Vosh remembered Conner saying the same thing to him. The feeling in his chest made him want to curl up and die. It felt like his heart was going to stop.

"I think you should call Bruce. He catalogues these things, he might know who he is." Dawn said.

"I already told you guys who he is. He's Conner. He's Lex Luthor and Superman's clone." Vosh snapped.

"We appreciate that information, Vosh, but we still don't know how to help him. Bruce may know how." Dawn said, her soft voice offering some calm to his storm.

"Dick?" Kory called, noticing the distance in his eyes.

"I'll call Bruce." Dick said.

"Good. Did you check on Jason?" Dawn asked.

Jason was the boy who Conner saved. Vosh hated him for it. If Conner would've just listened to Eve, maybe they wouldn't be in this predicament.


That's when it hit him. Eve is the answer. He released Conner's hand and walked out of the room with a renewed sense of purpose.

"Hey, where are you going?" Kory asked, catching up to him.

"I'm going to find Eve Watson. She helped create him, maybe she can help us save him too." Vosh explained.

"Okay then I'll come with, let me grab my coat." Kory  said.
