Protagonists[]
Superboy at three.
Superboy/Conner Kent - So far the only child created by Cadmus' Stork Program. He was made per Lois' request following the death of Superman (Clark Kent). He was taken to Lois on the train to Jump City by Shayera. He also sneezed a woman who tickled him into a wall, showing he had already been given powers due to a technical mix-up. By the age of three, Superboy had mastered all his powers except flight, due to a fear of heights. He's also very close to his mother as he always takes a chance to play around with her or help her as the case may warrant. He also met Alex Luthor, an illegitimate child of Lex Luthor, and he was captured and held up by him to purposely make him cry and dropped to the ground before Lois punched him in the face. The next day, Lois was arrested for assault. Due to this, Conner was left with a group of ladies who thought he was a freak. Conner then missed his mother and asked for a bed time story from the ladies taking care of them, but they refused. He then ran to his room when Robin showed up and shouted at the ladies. Conner eventually came out to go with Robin after he said how he knew what it was like to lose a mother. Conner then asks if they can just walk to the Tower, which Robin agrees to. Conner then meets the other Titans and became especially close to Starfire and Raven. When he heard that the Titans intended to help free his mother, Conner ran around until Raven told her to stop. Conner then asked for a bedtime story, which Raven agreed to. He then went to sleep as Raven read Snow White to him. He dreamed of being a hero and spend time with his mother and his friends. A few days later, Conner began to view the Titans, especially Robin and Raven, as big brothers and sisters. When Robin explained that they were planning to bug Alex's office to hear him confess how he provoked Lois. Conner was incredibly excited by this. When Conner was looking at the Gorg Starfire was making for breakfast, he accidentally fell in. After being pulled out, he learned that his new hero name was Superboy. Superboy easily made the connection between that and Superman and was excited to tell Lois after they rescued her. On the top of the office building Alex was in, Superboy clutched Raven's leg due to his fear of heights. Just as Alex was getting to how he saw Lois coming out with Superboy, Superboy sneezed and blew everybody off when they were saved from falling by Starfire and Raven. Superboy then began to cry as Alex had heard the sneeze and rushed off. Superboy then clutched Raven for comfort. Superboy was later given a bath by Starfire as she tried to cheer him up. Superboy did eventually cheer up when Robin said they were going to visit Lois. At Jump City Prison, Superboy then began to cry since he messed up and stopped the Titans from saving her. Then Lois comforted Conner and asked him not to cry. He then left as he waved good-bye to Lois. Superboy then went to Raven's room and went to bed after asking Raven to let him sleep there. He then dreamed about how Lois and Superman ended up together before dreaming he was flying. After that, he disappeared. Superboy ended up sleeping on the top of the Titans East's Tower. He was then picked up by Raven when the Titans arrived. Superboy then looked up and began crying after he looked down. He then cried to go to the ground as Raven gently did so. Superboy was then laughed at by the Titans East for Robin's idea that he flew up when Robin shouted them down. Superboy was then encouraged to fly when Robin gave him a cape like his dad had. Superboy then began to fly and was extremely excited about it. The next afternoon, Superboy flew down to place the bug to listen to Alex again when the wind blew his cape off, and he began to fall. With Robin and Raven's encouragement, Superboy gathered his confidence and flew up. He then flew into the building and brought Alex out to the roof and demanded to have Lois back. Superboy then made sure Alex promised to tell the police that he had provoked Lois' attack on him, and he then set him down before revealing he had Cyborg record what Alex said. Superboy then cheered about his mother coming home. When Lois arrived at the Tower to move in, Superboy flew down and kissed her all over excitedly. Superboy then went inside and told Lois about his latest adventures.
Robin tries to assure Superboy that he's a friend.
Robin - Robin listened to the women who were taking care of Conner talk about how much of a freak he was, and when they gave Conner the cold shoulder, Robin had enough and barged in. He then frightened the women into letting Conner come to the Tower, but he accidentally ended up scaring him too. Robin then managed to convinced Conner to come with him and promised to walk to the Tower as Conner was afraid of heights. Once arriving and introducing Conner to the other Titans, Robin suggested that Conner get some sleep for tomorrow when they would attempt to free Lois. Robin later developed a big brother type of role to Superboy. He then explained that they planned on eavesdropping on Alex to hear him confess how he provoked Lois. During the bugging, Superboy sneezed and blew everyone off the building. Robin was then saved by Starfire. After Superboy's bath, Robin explained that he and Starfire were taking Superboy to visit his mother. At Jump City Prison, while Superboy was with his mother, Robin thought of his own mother and how she and his father fell to their deaths. This also strengthened Robin's resolve to get Lois out, so she and Superboy could be a family again. Robin and Starfire then left with Superboy. When they returned to the Tower, Robin suggested that Superboy go to bed as it was pretty late. He then asked Raven what was long and learned that Superboy had disappeared. He then used his communicator to learn that Superboy was traveling directly to Steel City. He then led the Titans to Steel City to look for him. They found Superboy on top of the Titans East Tower. Robin then noticed the Titans East laughing at Superboy and had them prepare to go back to Jump City. Robin then wondered how he got up there as the Tower was too steep to climb and too high for Superboy to jump up to. After a joke by Kid Flash, Robin realized that Superboy flew up. He then determined that all they had to do is eliminate Superboy's fear of heights, and he'd be able to fly. After the Titans East laugh at the idea of Superboy flying, Robin shouts at all of them and is about to leave when Kid Flash explains that they need to use psychology on Superboy and has him use a cape as a way to give Superboy the confidense to fly, which allows him to succeed. Robin then said that he bet their next investigation would go much smoother. The next afternoon, Robin went on a stake-out mission with the others. When Superboy began to fall after losing his cape, Robin encouraged Superboy that he didn't need the cape. When Superboy then brought Alex to them, Robin indirectly threatened Alex to tell what really happened through a three-year-old superhero holding him. Robin and the other Titans then welcomed Lois into the Tower.

Following that, Cyborg explained that Alex ran for it as he probably heard the sneeze. Cyborg then prepped the T-Car when Superboy disappeared that night.

It didn't work, and the Titans were blown off of the building Beast Boy then flew back up with Cyborg. Beast Boy then tried to comfort Superboy by saying that they might get a second chance.
