The team was bowling for a fun game night and Rachel was winning per usual, Aria, Dick, Donna, and Kory were standing back as Dick came back from taking a phone call. Dick had given her a look making her walk up to the group with a wide smile as she looked at Conner.

"Well, I do have news, I just got off the phone with Bruce, we're not going back to Gotham," Dick stated in response

"I just left," Tim whined to the man

"For the record, I don't mind going back," Gar admitted with a smile

"Okay, hang on, this isn't about Gotham, it's about Metropolis," Dick stated before looking at Aria

"Bruce and I have been talking about you wanting to meet your dad so, Bruce and I made some calls and he wants to meet you," Aria explained to the boy

"Superman wants to meet me? Are you serious? He said that?" Conner asked with a wide smile

"He said you need flying lessons, actually," Aria joked with a smirk

"He what?" Conner asked in shock

"No, I'm joking," Aria spoke making him shake his head

"But he does wanna meet you," Dick added in support

"This is incredible, I can't even believe it's happening," Conner cheered making Aria smile

"It is, nine o'clock sharp at S.T.A.R. Labs," Dick stated making Tim gasp

"Wait, S.T.A.R. Labs? The S.T.A.R. Labs?" Tim questioned with excitement

"Special Projects team heard we might be visiting and went into overdrive, they've been trying to get their hands on us for some time, Bruce said there might be some surprises, whatever that means," Dick explained some more

"Well, sounds like Superman isn't the only one that wanted to meet us," Kory mumbled under her breath

"Please don't burn down the bowling alley," Dick pleaded as Rachel went to play her turn

"She definitely will," Aria whispered to her boyfriend

The next day, they pulled up outside and were greeted by a group of people, Aria was one of the first people off of the RV. Aria hugged Cisco and Caitlin while everyone was waiting to be introduced.

"Where's Barry?" Aria asked as they pulled away

"He's inside doing something real quick but you'll see him," Caitlin explained making her nod

"Guys, this is my good friends, Caitlin, and Cisco and this is the team, Gar, Racher, Kory, Conner, Tim, Donna, and Dick," Aria introduced with a smile

"Conner is your nephew, right?" Cicso asked as he came up to the boy

"Yeah but he's more like a son, than anything," Aria admitted making Conner smile

"Is my dad here?" Conner asked before Cisco sighed

"Conner, I'm afraid that I have some bad news, Kal-El sends his regrets," Cisco spoke before Aria looked back at them

"He's not here?" Aria asked in a soft voice

"He was called away on urgent business, a matter that did require his immediate attention," Cisco explained with sad eyes

"I understand," Conner mumbled in a hurt voice

"I'm sorry but he did leave you this," Caitlin spoke handing him a

They went on with their tour and Aria could tell that Conner was a bit upset still about not meeting Clark but he was putting on a brave face. Aria had met up with Barry and they had gone to get coffee by the time they came back it was time for her to leave, the ride was smooth until they had to turn back around to meet Lex Luthor.

"Well, what a pleasure to meet you, Starfire or may I call you Koriand'r? You haven't been in the headlines lately, Girl of Steel," Lex stated in a mocking voice

"And you have been in them, lately," Aria remarked to the man

"May I offer you some Spaghetti Puttanesca? Or perhaps a glass of wine?" Lex offered the women

"No, I'm okay," Kory declined the offer

"I understand there've been some changes on Tamaran, Komand'r has now rightfully taken the throne? Lex questioned the woman

"That's right," Kory agreed in an unsure voice

"And now, she possesses the power you've always thought of as your own," Lex reminded with a smirk

"Yes, yes, but, she's spent her whole life feeling denied, overshadowed, and less than," Kory explained in a thought

"But of course, you wouldn't know anything about that, would you?" Aria fired at the man

"We have much to discuss, this way, please," Lex directed them as they walked

"What a quaint little place you have here," Kory spoke looking around

"Allow me to show you around, may I give you a tour?" Lex questioned before Aria rolled her eyes

"Why are we here, Lex? Why do you want to meet with Conner?"Aria questioned some more

"Doesn't a father have a right to meet his son?" Lex questioned the blonde back

"A desire doesn't equal a right so what do you want?" Kory asked trying to get to the point

"I want Conner to stay with me, here in Metropolis," Lex spoke

"No, that's never gonna happen," Aria warned before Lex chuckled

"After all, it is his decision," Lex stated with a smirk

"He knows who you are and what you are," Aria stated as she looked at the man who scoffed

"That's exactly the point, he doesn't, I wanna give him the benefit of my knowledge and guidance and I want him to be prepared to one day take over as President of LexCorp," Lex stated before Kory shook her head

"You know what I think? I think what you want is to own the thing you created and that you consider Conner your possession, he is not. He has compassion, empathy, moral intelligence," Kory stated to the man

"All of which makes him far stronger than you in every way, you want him to be your weapon and he will never be that," Aria stated looking him in the eyes

"Isn't that exactly how you're using him, Richard? Hasn't Bruce taught you any other way? I'd like you to meet some friends of mine. Remember, Richard, this is me being gentle," Lex remarked with a smirk

"Is this some game to you?" Aria asked in anger

"All I ask is six months and If you believe you know Conner's answer then you'll have no problem conveying my offer, I expect an answer tonight," Lex stated before they walked out

They went back to the RV where Conner had said that he wanted to meet Lex and they had to respect his choice, they had started to leave town that night but were held back seeing how Conner was taken in for Lex's death even though he didn't do it.
