So..Did I ever tell you that I'm terrible at introductions? It's true if you can believe it. It's probably impossible to believe I know. But really..really terrible with first impressions.
Anyway..I told you I'd explain how I knew Kal-El. So I will the best I can.
But first in this city we're all from different worlds. Different times..there are different versions of us in these other times and worlds that are the same but different because of slightly altered events in history. I'm guessing mine is another time with a different you, because you don't recognize me, in my time I knew you or at least of you. Alternate realities if that makes sense. In mine it's 2009 and there are groups of heroes. The predominate one being the Justice League. Superman, Batman, the Flash, Wonder Woman, Green Lantern, Hawk Girl, Martian ManHunter and others. The Teen Titans spawned from the Justice League with the Robin before me as the leader of that team who was Batman's first partner before I took over. He became Nightwing after I took over as Robin.
Kon was my best friend and teammate on the Teen Titans. He was Superboy, but he wasn't. He was a clone of Kal-El created by Cadmus Labs and Lex Luthor to recreate Kryptonian DNA because it couldn't be replicated or stabilized. He broke out of Cadmus Labs and found me and Impulse, we were in Metropolis but I can't remember why exactly, one mission or another that Batman sent us on. Through him I met Kal-El, who took pity on Kon and persuaded Martha and Jonathan Kent to adopt him while he trained him and taught him how to use his powers for good.
