Title: Run
Y/n - Your Name
Note - I haven't done a lot of Superboy oneshots. So, in all of those who are / have made an appearance in Young Justice, who's your favorite? I posted this a bit early, I know. I'm impatient lol.-
2 mins 22 seconds
That was the numbers on your clock. It became a distraction, you couldn't concentrate throughout the class.
"Since you just came back from break, we're just going to do a review for homework to jog your memory." The teacher passes out the homework.
"Whoa, what the hell is that!" Somebody in class stands up, running to the window view. Eventually the whole class crowded around the window. Some whipped out their phones to video it, despite there being a 'no - phone' rule in this class.
"Back up, back up! It's coming straight at us!" They start running away from the window. You stay seated in your chair, since it's in the back of the class.
The thing crashes through the wall, and it appears to be a person. He stands up, dusting himself off. You notice the big 'S' on his chest and realize that, that's Superboy. Of course with all the crime going on, you've never met him in person, only seen him on T.V. He's about to leave but then he notices that there's a whole class just staring at him.
"You should leave this classroom, and leave the school. It's not safe here righ-"
Another object comes crashing in, tackling Superboy. The class started rushing through the door. Overwhelmed with shock, you stare, slowly standing and backing away to the door.
Superboy punches it, but it doesn't seem go phase it. He continues though, knocking it back. You make eye contact with him, and you feel something strange. Knew to the feeling, you check your clock. It's not on your wrist, it's on the floor. You pick it up, not breaking eye contact and quickly look at the time.

He's still staring at you. You see the thing advance towards him.
"Hey, Hey look! Watch out!" You shout, but it's too late. Just as Superboy turns his head, he gets hit and crashes into a couple desks."Leave!" He commands.
What appears to be a Robot is taking his head and bashing it into the wall and floor. The robot holds Superboy by his neck, squeezing it.
You leave the room, troubled.
He could die.
He's a super, he'll handle it.
He was getting bashed back there.
What do you expect me to do? He's super powered and he's not winning.
Do something.
I really hate myself some (all) times.You rush back into the room, where Superboy is still getting strangled. What to use, what to use. You look at the bottom of the chairs and see a big hard covered chemistry book.
You pick it up.
Let's hope I have good aim.
You throw it, hitting the robot slightly below the head. Not where you planned it, but at least it hit him."Hey, loser!" You call him.
I'm so gonna die.
"You suck!" You shout, running out of the classroom.What am I doing.
You turn and see the robot behind you.
"Martian Manhunter." He says. What? No I'm, what??You understand when you see his arms get extremely long, trying to either hit or grab you. His hand hits a locker up ahead, breaking the door.
You take the door of the locker, running with it.
You make three turns, hoping you lost him. You run to the locker room showers because like, robots, electricity, water, right? Maybe it could shock the robot until it shuts down. You turn on a couple showers, knowing the robot could probably hear the rusty, screeching sound of the faucets.
You wait at the side of the entrance, fixing your grip on the locker door.
When the robot walks in to scan the place, you use the locker door and hit it upside the head, causing it to stumble forward into the water.
"No..." You whisper, the plan failed. You're about to throw the locker door at it and leave, when it comes at you with superspeed and punches you through the wall. You whimper when you hit the next wall, falling to the ground. You're pretty sure you felt something crack.
I.. might've broke something.
The robot stands in front of you. You can't even get up.
I can't give up.He tries to step on you, but you put your hands underneath his foot, resisting the force. His foot slowly gets closer to your chest. You scream, trying to motivate yourself to push harder. A string of cuss words leave your lips but he only pushes down harder.
Your hands give out and now the robot is stepping on, slowly crushing your chest. There is nothing that you can grab to stop the crushing.
This is what I get for trying to be a hero.
You cry out when you lose your breath.
You lift the lower half of your body, wrapping and locking your legs around his, forcing it back down. It worked, he fell over, but you still could barely move.
"Superboy," you whisper, hoping he has super hearing. You try to crawl away but this time the robot places a firm foot on your back, keeping you down.
As soon as it happened, you felt the weight come off of your back, and a big crashing soon after.
You start crawling, getting up to your feet using the wall. When you straighten your posture, you instantly regret it. The pain increases when you stay in that position. You slouch over, a hand over your ribs.
You walk slowly, following where the fight went. In the gymnasium, you see the Young Justice League fighting it off. You hold on to the door handle for balance.
"Oh lookie, another one." Some skinny dude with robot monkeys says, quite bored. "Amazo, when you get the chance, kill the girl while you're at it." He says.
You stand there, not really sure why this is happening or what's going on.
"Wait, wait wait. She's not a part of your little gang, hmm... That's interesting. MONQIs, bring the girl to me." The guy says. The robotic monkeys at his side leave, going for you.
When one of it gets close enough, you take it by the tail and swing it around, hitting the other one to crash it. You throw the monkey robot at the 'Amazo' robot.
"Martian Manhunter." He says, letting the robot fall through him. While the robot is density shifting, Superboy puts his hand through it, causing the robot to malfunction when it changed back to its original density.
"Ivo's gone." Robin says. The others come in to dismantle the Amazo.
"That was dumb, you know that right?" A voice from behind you asks. You turn around and see Superboy, arms crossed with a slightly concerned look on his face.
You shrug, grinning. However, he doesn't smile back.
"You're hurt."
"Oh, really? You know, I thought it was just because I'm getting old." You say with a sarcastic tone. He carries you out of the school, looking for a paramedic.
"I'm y/n, and you are?"
He stays silent.
"Ahh, okay. Secret identity, right. Ok, ok, good talk." You mask the hurt with humor.
He puts you in an ambulance and walks away. Your heart sinks.
He doesn't want me? You whimper in your mind. The medic supplies you with oxygen, but somehow you still feel like you can't breathe. You narrow your eyes, looking up to prevent the waterworks from happening.
"Conner." The same voice from earlier says, dropping something next to you. "I'm Conner."
You break into a grin.
"So, am I ever gonna see you again? Or are you gonna let me live the rest of my days without a soulmate?""Uh... I, I'm not sure -"
"You ever done this before?" You narrow your eyes.
He scratches his head.
"Can't say I have.""Alright. Do you know where Gotham Park is?" You wait for an answer. He nods. "Great, I'll meet you there and we can sort things out, boy of steel." You smile, trying to maintain your heart.
"Gotta go." He says.
"See you then." You wave goodbye.
He nods at you, offering a smile and then he jumps away.
You look around, making eye contact with the paramedic who's tending to your ribs.
"Nice." She grins.-
It's not perfect, I know, sorry.
