Kon growls slightly as he looks up, but rather pointedly avoids eye contact once he realizes who it is, though the scent is all wrong, and his pack-link is gone.
"The... what? I'm sorry, I don't think I'm followin'."
He keeps his eyes down, seemingly watching Jason's chin as he tries to sort out what's going on, all of his senses feel screwy right now. He studies Jason's body language closely, trying to read something off that that he'd normally be able to pick up from the link.
You know about planets making up the solar system, and other star systems making up a galaxy, and galaxies making up the universe? Well, there's other universes, too. They make up the multiverse. People don't usually get outside their own universes, but this here's a place where the barriers are thin and the worlds overlap.
So... [he smirks] Whatever you're looking for on me ain't gonna be there. Cos I ain't the Jason Todd you know.
"Sir, all due respect, but you do realize that y're talkin' nonsense, right?"
Kon scowls, crossing his arms and studying Jason a moment longer, breathing deep to get his scent and really consider it before nodding slowly, still not making eye contact.
"Sayin' I believe you on at least the point that you aren't who I know... What proof've you got that this ain't a con o' some sort?"
"Well, there are plenty in the pack who aren't too fond of me, Jason." He says it like a fact, well known and accepted, not really any skin off his back anymore. "Messin' with someone over the link's pretty much basic expression of that. Blocking me out and convincing me some fool's tale could pretty easily convince Dick I'm crazy and not worth keeping."
He pauses a moment, realizing quickly how that sounds and looking panicked. "N-not that I would insinuate that you would be in on such a tactic. Or any tactic! Sir-- Jason."
"You... weren't foolin'? You're actually... some human type alternate. From some far-flung other universe?" He really isn't sure what to make of that. He frowns deeply and looks Jason over.
"If you aren't the Jason I know then, how do I know I c'n trust you?"
Do you think I really give a rat's ass if you trust me? Just use your brain and realize that I'm telling you the truth now, and we'll go from there, Superboy.
"You were the one with the personal questions, figure 's a legitimate concern as to whether I ought to trust you 'r not 'fore I answer. And what 'n th' hell's "Superboy", s'pposed t' mean." He growls a bit at the last sentence, figuring he's being insulted, and if Jason's human, it really doesn't sit well to be insulted by a human.
"You watch y'r damned tone. Where I come from werewolves are barely out t' the public, an' even then only some 'f them. If we wandered 'round answering alla this type a question we'd be dead. So yeah, 's a personal question, an' I'd rather figure out my damned bearings 'fore I risk things on a look-alike." He squares back his shoulders and postures himself aggressively, it's one thing to take shit from is packmates, another entirely to take it from a human.
"My... "hero thing". Is that actually s'pposd t' be as comic book as it sounds?"
"What?" He sighs, shaking his head and pushing a hand through his hair, realizing what Jason's talking about. "There are far, far more humans than there are werewolves. We've lived in secret 'til about a year ago. How do you see human masses learning that dangerous shape-shifting wolf people live among them? In their schools, their police forces, their hospitals. Not exactly speciesist, but humans tend not to adapt well to change, or the unknown."

*he shrugs* What would be the point of making you believe in the multiverse? What could anyone possibly gain by pretending to be an alternate?

Are we talking something magic? Wolfy? Because I am 100% human. And again, not the Jason you know.

Superboy is what you go by in most worlds. When you're doing the hero thing. Guess that's not the case where you're from.
