[Was Kent always this slow of a reader? Damian frowned, then peeked around Jon's shoulder. Actually, Jon was in the public school system out in hicksville, was he even taught how to read yet? The teen raised a finger to point out a rather large word in the email that he assumed Kent was having trouble with--but the boy finally spoke.

Okay, Damian definitely smirked at that. Yes Kent, continue to tell yourself he isn't your leader. It's fine though, because until you are ready to admit it, he'll gladly be your enabler.]

As I keep trying to tell you. You no longer have to ask permission to be super, Superboy. Do you want to put the monsters in their place? They are here to eat people after all.

[Not that it mattered. The monsters couldn’t make it past the barriers to the civilians. The only reason Damian was out here was for his experiment.

Still, Damian wasn’t going to pass up the chance to see Kent cut loose.]
