[Conner knows that it's the middle of the night. He doesn't care. Right now he's sitting at the kitchen table of house 16 with a cupcake lit in front of him. There might only be one candle but to anyone who knows really knows him will get why. There's a small white card next to him but whatever is written on it can't be seen.]

What is so important about holidays? Last Thanksgiving I got into a fist-fight with my half-brother and met one of my "parents" who I don't want anything to do with. Ended up here on the fourth of July and the one before that wasn't a lot better with my other "parent".

[He pokes the cupcake, like it might have answers.]

Three hundred and sixty-five days later and I'm having a fight with my girlfriend on my birthday. [The very first birthday of his life.] Well, what counts as my birthday anyway since I've just relived the last four months.

So why does anyone even enjoy holidays? Are they all like this? If so, then I'm totally skipping out on Thanksgiving and Christmas this year.

[Sorry Robin but he's serious.]

Alright, so it was a terrible Thanksgiving.

But they're not all going to be terrible.

That's what Robin said. Guess I'll just have to experience it.

[Hesitation.]

Have you ever had Thanksgiving with Superman?

We used to do Thanskgiving with the League.

You've met the one here, haven't you? The one from my world.

League dinners? That would have been something to see.

[No seriously. Just...everyone in the League having dinner together.]

Yeah, he came by my place his first day here. He wants to do Thanksgiving dinner. [Maybe with all three of them. Which wouldn't be too bad.]

You should do it.

I don't know much about your Superman and from what you've told me, I don't think I'll ever understand him. [ It's just. Not Superman-like to reject family. ] But you should get to know this one.

[ She pauses, hesitant to reveal this tidbit initially. ]

Even after we discovered I wasn't his real family, he never turned me away.

Are you going?

[It would be nice if it wasn't just the two of them. Their relationship isn't like the one he has with the Superman of his world but it's still a little weird.] Maybe I won't ever understand him either but this one seems nice.

[He doesn't really hesitate at that info and smiles faintly.]

Well, most of the people I consider my family aren't related to me by blood.

I wouldn't miss it for the world.

[ Who knows how much time they have in this world? She doesn't want to miss an opportunity to hang out with a Superman she's familiar enough with. ]
