Fandom: Young Justice
Characters: Megan
Summary: There was this story that she loved so dear. It's the reason why she fell in love with Earth. It's the reason behind the name.

There was this story back on Mars. It was wonderful, fun, and exciting. She never grew tired of it. Many nights she would stay up late until the early hours of the morning, turning page by page. It was story about an alien who called himself the Doctor. He traveled through time and space in his blue box. Invasions, heroic sacrifice, adventures, and just a dash of romance. She loved every part of it.

The best part was the Doctor’s friend, Conner. Conner was normal human who traveled with the Doctor. He was a young teenager from Earth who was kind, gentle, and strong. Conner made the Doctor feel like he had a family on Earth.

Conner is the reason why she fell in love with Earth.

Through the eyes of Conner and the Doctor, she saw Earth. She got to meet the people and learn a little of the culture and traditions (even if it was dated). It was all so fascinating. Uncle J’onn’s stories only encouraged her love more.

The day Uncle J’onn finally agreed to take her to Earth was the happiest day of her life. She looked forward to seeing all that Earth had to offer. While doubtful that it would be exactly the same as the book, she had hoped with all her heart that it would at least be similar. It wasn’t.

It was more.

She loved Earth. There is so much to do, so much to see. It’s very different from Mars and she loved learning the differences. Her new friends were… unique. They came from all over, knew so many strange things then her and were so much fun. She had never been this happy before.

Then there was Superboy.

Somewhere in the back of her mind, she knew it was silly to have a crush on a boy who didn’t even exist twenty five weeks ago. A boy who didn’t even know what love was. It was silly. She knew it, but didn’t care. The reason behind why she had a crush was even sillier.

Superboy was everything she imagined Conner would be.

Like the boy from her favorite book, Superboy was kind, gentle and strong. He was new to the world around him, but she could already see the good person he was. It was the small things that he did, that made her appreciated him even more. She knew Superboy and Conner were not the same. For starters, Conner was human, less angry and more talkative than Superboy. They were different and she was fine with that.

When the first day of school arrived, she had asked Superboy what was his new name would be. At the look of confusion on his face, she knew exactly what name Superboy could use. She placed a hand on his shoulder and gave him a gentle look.

“Conner has always been my favorite name.”
