Clark was on the island. It had been a day since Lex had told him and he was still having a hard time processing it. Clark Kent was on the island and not his pseudo-parent. No, he could have dealt with that. No, this one was the Clark freaking Kent who had been on the island before. The one who had all but ignored his existence and made him feel like crap. That Clark Kent.

He wasn't sure what he felt except for the fact that he in no way wanted to see Clark. Oh, he knew it was inevitable, but he would be satisfied with delaying that sometime for as long as possible.

He was hurrying out of the kitchen, sandwich in hand, and dropped it when he saw a familiar head of hair.

"Tim?" Oh god, he wasn't sure if he wanted Tim to be here or...wait. Tim wouldn't remember anything, would he?

Tim shifts his weight onto his good foot and fidgets the crutches at a steeper angle, giving himself a reason to look down. Kon's presence, his disregard for personal space--these aren't new things, but it's strange to have them again.

Strange enough to make him look away, because he's not the same Tim that Kon knew as a Titan. "I'm not a Titan anymore," he says, and the turn of his mouth is rueful when he looks at Kon again. "I'm not even Robin, anymore. I do a lot on my own these days." Or at least, by the standards of a team of superheroes: he's not sure he'd get half as far without Tam, Pru, and Lonnie.

"You'll always be a Titan. I thought you knew that." Kon gives him a sharp look. Even the people who have moved on to bigger and better, like Dick when he was with the Outsiders. Even they were still Titans. You didn't just stop being one."

"And I promise that you'll always be my Robin, no matter who's stepped into your place." Clearly someone has stepped into it if he's not Robin anymore.

"That's not--" what he'd meant, but he had forgotten. Dick is. Dick is Batman now, and Batman really isn't a Titan. Tim never could decide if Red Robin is either, but it's good to know Kon still thinks so.

The Titans are Cassie's now, and he'd make an awful crack about losing them in the divorce if it wouldn't be awful, and completely nonsensical to them all. "Thank you, I guess I just haven't felt much like anyone's Robin today."

Shifting in Kon's grip, he steps back out of it and shifts his weight again, leans on the crutches. "The crutches were part of a disguise when I arrived, but I managed to actually twist my ankle. It'll be a few days before I'm up for our brand of adventure."

Kon snorts. "As if there is our brand of adventure on the island. Except sometimes. But even then, it's not as if I have my powers or anything anymore." He almost pouts at that. If there's anything - not anyone, because that's different - anything that he misses most, it's his powers. He can pretend that he misses the Zesti more and stuff like that, but really...powers. All the way.

"Hey, you should come flying with me sometime. I...the other you gave me hang gliders."
