Late Night Visitor

[super_pecs]

Nightmares are common for Power Boy. He comes from Apokolips after all. And they become more frequent when he's absorbed a lot of negative emotions. Since he's still got some left over from Blackest Night and had picked up a few from just flying around Metropolis, he's been woken from a peaceful sleep by one of those nightmares. Since getting back

Superboy had crashed on the couch, after what had been an eventful day. "Whuzzat?" H e mumbled to himself as he looked around, when a chime woke him up. The second time he realized it was the doorbell. "It's 3 in the fucking morning, if it's those Jehovah's witnesses again, I swear to god-." He muttered to himself as he shuffled towards the door. When he opened it, all he saw was a chest window in a costume.

"Superboy! Hello!"

Power Boy's greeting was as enthusiastic as ever, reaching forward to pick the teen of steel up for a quick hug then letting him go. This time his chest window and his arms were smooth. Blackest Night had burned off a lot of his hair and he finished the job soon after.

Superboy was ambushed by a hug for the second time in the same day. "Dude, It's 3 AM." He said when he was back on his feet. He was trying to be friendly, but being woken up at this ungodly hour, no pun intended, wasn't helping.

[super_pecs]

"Good Morning then!" Power Boy laughed. He was starting to pick up on the grumpiness though, frowning a little. "What's wrong, dude? Didn't you say I should come visit?"

[conner_el]

"I did, but when I said anytime, I kinda meant, y'know, something reasonable. I mean, you do sleep on Newpokolips ..." That ain't right, must be the tiredness, "... or whatever right?"

[super_pecs]

"This time's unreasonable? Why's that?" Power Boy frowned at the mangled mention of Apokolips. "We do..." he trailed off. "I just...couldn't sleep, ya know? I woke up and I couldln't fall asleep again."

[conner_el]

"Sorry." Superboy said, noticing the frown. "Well, the times unreasonable because, well, everyone tends to be asleep. But yeah, I know how that is." Conner's had a few of those since Blackest Night. "Come on in."

[super_pecs]

"Sorry for what?" Power Boy smiled, trying to act like it never happened. "Do people really need that much sleep here?" he was curious. When it was said he could come in, Power Boy nodded and stepped into the tower.

[conner_el]

"Yeah, humans need a lot, and since I'm part human." Superboy said with a shrug.

[super_pecs]

"You are?" Power Boy was surprised by this. "Maybe we should try to help one another get back to sleep then," he suggested after a moment of thought.

[conner_el]

"Yeah, it's a long story." Superboy said with a nod. "What did you have in mind?" Superboy said, mildly weirded out by the proposal, but too tired to make anything of it.

[super_pecs]

Power Boy shrugged. "I don't know," he laughed. "I feel energized. Really amped up, man," he grinned. "We should do something to burn the energy off."

[conner_el]

Does he just speak in innuendos? "Well I've busted all the robots in the training room." Superboy says, assuming the innocent.

[super_pecs]

"All of them? That's a shame," Power Boy replies, looking down thoughtfully. "We could always spar against each other," he says. "But superheroes fighting eachother isn't as fun as it used to be. So overdone, dude..." he trails off. "What else could we do?"

[conner_el]

"Video games?" Conner suggests, running out of ideas. 'Pleeaaase don't let him have that in mind.' Superboy silently wished to himself.

[super_pecs]

"Video games?" Power Boy looks lost a moment. A quick TING from Father Box and he grins. "Great! How do you play?" he asks.
