There were a few tick marks under Christopher, one under Kyle and a lot more than the others combined under Colin. He was beginning to wonder who was actually voting on this. Were they inviting the entire Justice League over to vote on something so trivial or were those within Mt. Justice voting multiple times?
He walked away from the sign without marking one off.
“You know, it might make it easier if you decided on one you liked for yourself,” a familiar voice said from behind him.
He turned to look at Dinah, “Yeah, well, you started all of this. Might as well let you finish it.”
She frowned, “You don’t like any of them, do you?”
“They’re just names.”
“Yes, but you deserve one too. They add to a person’s identity.”
“I’m barely a person.”
“Do you really still believe that?” she asked, eyes focused only on him. It made him uncomfortable and he looked away. “I decided that you should have one because you are somebody. You have friends and people who care for you. That makes you a person, no matter where you came from.”
He looked back up at her, a bit of surprise on his face. His features changed quickly back to an expressionless look. Without another word, he turned to leave again.
Black Canary had walked up to her sign. She started at the three names listed at the top. “Colin Kent,” she said to herself. She kept repeating the name over and over again until it changed. The syllables on her tongue became something different, and the morphed together. “Conner,” she said puzzled. Then she repeated it again and smiled, “Conner Kent.”
She took off down the tunnel he had just gone down. “Conner!” she exclaimed.
Superboy almost didn’t stop. She said it again, louder. Then he paused to let her catch up. She put a hand on his shoulder. He glanced at her and saw a huge smile on her face.
“Conner. Conner Kent,” she repeated.
He thought about it. He let the letters and the sounds run through his mind. He hated to admit it but he liked it.
Dinah was beginning to think he didn’t like it. After weeks of staring at books and talking it over with the other members of the League, she felt like she finally found the treasure and that Superboy didn’t see it that way.
Then he smiled at her, “Yeah. I think that name fits.”
She went into the living room space and found one of her baby books. She flipped through the pages to find the name. Her finger traced the column until she found it. “Conner. Irish for wolf lover,” she laughed at the meaning. The meaning wasn’t the important thing though. What was most important was that they found a name and agreed on it.
The next day, Batman had returned to Mt. Justice. He had a mission for the young team. Black Canary intercepted him after he doled out assignments. He stared, towering over her, a blank expression on his face.
She was beaming up at him, “I found a name.”
“Are you sure this time?”
She nodded, “Conner Kent. Even he liked it.”
Bruce let slip a small smile, “Feel better now?”
“Yes.”
