5 times Superboy was caught wearing the other mentor's costumes, and one time he wasn't.

Coming alone, without telling anyone, was probably a bad idea, Superboy thinks. He and Wally are stuck, their legs mired in three feet of a substance which has been specifically designed to keep them from being able to run ( ... )

“No, no, don’t die too soon. I can see why Superman doesn’t like you. You’re weak. Probably a disappointment ( ... )

I am the OP anon! anonymous May 9 2011, 23:32:32 UTC

You are evil. Truly deliciously evil. Damn those finals. I also have to study for finals.. oops

Re: 3.5/5: Red and Green anonymous May 11 2011, 14:56:46 UTC

Eeep! WRITER!ANON THIS IS SO GOOD!

I love how headstrong and stubborn your Superboy is but he's also so woefully unprepared and naive and awwwwww he just really really needs Superman's love and approval!

And all of Luthor's insults must've felt like a punch to the gut and then, y'know all those actual punches. D:

I'M ON THE EDGE OF MY SEAT WRITER!ANON OH GOD

It’s the light that wakes him up. It takes him a few blinks to realize that he’s actually surprised to wake up-for a second there, he didn’t think he was going to. Then panic sets in. Luthor ( ... )

3.7/5: Red and Green anonymous May 16 2011, 04:54:44 UTC

Superman wanted him to die. Superman wanted to send him to Luthor.

Batman didn’t want to. Batman wanted him to live. Batman saved him.

He fucking hates Superman.

- - -

When he goes to shower, he sees himself in the mirror. Angry pink scars decorate his chest. Each is the same size as Luthor’s green rock. Each has been lovingly and methodically arranged across his chest in the shape of Superman’s crest. It makes him sick-literally, he vomits into the bathroom sink.

Luthor has paid him more attention in a single encounter than Superman. He hates that stupid S.

He punches the mirror. It shatters and falls to the floor like a silver rain. It’s a good thing he’s invulnerable, or else the glass would cut into his feet as he walks over it. As it is, it just crunches under him.

3.8/5: Red and Green anonymous May 16 2011, 04:55:40 UTC

He spends three days in his room, punching the wall and pretending it’s Superman, before Batman comes to see him. Of course. It’s always Batman who comes.

Batman wants to know how he’s doing.

“What does it matter?” he asks bitterly, “I’m just a weapon.”

Batman seems shocked. I guess there’s a first time for everything. “Superboy…” he starts, but he cuts him off:

“See, I haven’t even got a real name. Superman won’t give me one, and no one else has offered.”

“I… I didn’t realize you wanted one.”

“I don’t. What good would it do me? None of you think I’m a person. You’re no better than Cadmus.”

Batman reaches out, but Superboy brushes his hand away. “Don’t pretend like you care.”

“I understand you’ve been through a traumatic experience-but you should be aware that we care for you deeply.”

“Yeah, I’m sure.” He rolls his eyes. Something he picked up on TV. “You won’t even let Robin tell me his real name or show me his eyes.” Then he drives his fist through the table. “And Superman, I’m sure you’ll tell me he cares about me too ( ... )

3.9/5: Red and Green anonymous May 16 2011, 04:56:50 UTC

The next day, he gets a visit from Superman.

At first, Superman looks uncomfortable, unsure, but as he gets closer, his face hardens.

“I don’t ever want to hear about you pulling a stunt like that again,” he spits out, “or by Ra boy, I will teach you a lesson.”

He rolls his eyes. “Whatever Superman, you’re not my father.”

Superman smiles nastily. “That’s right. I’m not your father. I’m glad someone finally gets it ( ... )

3.10/5: Red and Green anonymous May 16 2011, 04:59:31 UTC

He wakes up in the Watchtower infirmary again, but this time he’s in a bed wearing a white robe. A man wearing bandages all over his body (some sort of Egyptian-themed hero?) stands up and walks to the bed. “How’re you feeling,” he asks, and it’s only by voice that he recognizes the man as Batman. He’s got bandages all over his head and chest, foam around his neck, his leg is in a cast, and his arm is in a sling ( ... )

Re: 3.10/5: Red and Green anonymous May 16 2011, 06:56:36 UTC

OH JESUS. THE M'GANN SCENE. D: WHY MUST YOU TORTURE ME SO!?

This has to be my favorite part. Anon, you are a genius.

Poor Batman to be confused for a mummy. XD "some sort of Egyptian-themed hero?" I love this sentence.

I loved that you reused GA's costume! Keep on reusing costumes if it means each part will be as great as this.

Just one tiny thing, "It just makes them worse. Everything I did under its influence, I felt it, it was me." Was that supposed to be another sentence with Superboy saying, because Batman saying that confuses me a bit. I thought red kryptonite only affected Kryptonians? Its quite delicious on how much Superman is a total ass in this. He's such a bastard.

Really, ANON, I love you for writing this prompt. It's really not what I was expecting at all. You've gone above and beyond and even then jumped over the galaxy's fence. You have my full devotion. <3 ( ... )

Re: 3.10/5: Red and Green anonymous May 16 2011, 11:45:30 UTC

Oooops. Yes, that was Superboy, not Batman speaking. That's what happens when exhaustion fuels your writing, I guess.

Glad you like this. :D. Haven't written any other fills, yet,

Re: 3.10/5: Red and Green anonymous May 18 2011, 02:53:22 UTC

Really good use of the red kryptonite. I didn't even think of that, and spent the majority of this going NO. SUPERBOY NO WHAT ARE YOU DOING.

Re: 3.10/5: Red and Green anonymous May 18 2011, 14:58:00 UTC

Tee-hee. I love putting things in the titles and then hiding them. (Red and Green could refer to Flash's red costume and Green Arrow's green costume, OR, to red and green kryptonite...) Though, I'll admit I was a little concerned that people would be put off by SB's apparently inexplicable OOCness.

If I may ask, when did you figure out that something was up? Was it only when Batman explained everything?

Re: 3.10/5: Red and Green anonymous May 19 2011, 11:15:41 UTC

Well I spent the entire fic going, "...there has to be a good reason for this. Writer!anon has been writing him in character. WHAT HAPPENED IT'S NOT EVEN LIKE THE STORYLINE CHANGED." And then we got to Superman too and my face mostly went like this O_o (and I never use those emoticons).

After Superboy woke up it was a very ...wait. Wait. Waitwaitwait. moment until Batman started talking. And then I went back and re-read it all!

Clearly I will never be a Batman.

Re: 3.10/5: Red and Green anonymous June 16 2013, 17:47:09 UTC

I did figure it out after a little while, but only because you had Superman doing things like sneering. Then I was thinking, "Hmm, that's out of character. Very out of character. This is Superman. He's supposed to be the hero archetype. So it's pretty easy to write him in character, which means something's up."

But I had to think about it for a bit. Then I remembered the lyrics to the 3 Doors Down song. "If I go crazy..."
Then I was like, "EPIPHANY!"
And I knew that Superboy was going to be okay.
