You think you'll need it? When I had powers I went up there with no tank.

[But the chaos crystals seem to work much faster than actual Kryptonian DNA.] How's your flying now anyway? Have you tested it since you got back?

It's getting better! I didn't crash into anything and I seem to be able to sustain it for longer intervals.

[Damian looks pleased with this news. If he had a cookie, you would be getting one right now. Sadly he does not, but next time!]

We can go out past the wall and see if your other powers improved as well. [He might even sound a little excited about that. It's cool to watch, okay? But like hell was he ever going to admit that.]

[ Jon looks a little sheepish, rubbing the back of his neck. ]

I haven't practiced much with the other stuff. I guess I got caught up with flying.

Admittedly, flying is the most fun part. [He nods because he really can't blame ya for this bias.]

It's okay, we have time to test the other stuff. I'm not going anywhere. [Not again.]

Yeah.

[ Jon relaxes with a hum of pleasure. ]

We'll get a chance to do all of it.

Every bit. [Damian hums back with equal content.]

For now, though, let's name some stars.

Sure — Wait.

What kind of names are stars supposed to have?

Usually things like deities or what they were shaped like. The big dipper looked like a big dipper, hence the name... or sometimes people buy a star and name it after themselves. If you want to go the unimaginative route.

[He points to a cluster.] What's that look like to you?

Uhhh . . . [ He squints. ]

Like . . . a seashell?

[Eh, everyone's allowed their own artistic interpretations.]

Okay, what would you name... a seashell?

[ Jon pulls out his communicator, doing a quick "google" search. ]

How about Cerith?

[Damian leaned in to look at the screen, then back at the stars.]

Sure, if that's the name you think you'll remember best. [He nods and looks up to find a cluster of his own to name.]

That there. Looks a bit like a dagger. I'll name it "Kabutowari". It's the first type of dagger I was ever given. [That's not at all hard to say or remember! You got that, right, Kent?]

[ Jon wrinkles his nose. ]

How am I supposed to pronounce that?

Kah-boo-tah-ware-ee? [Damian repeat slowly. He does this a few times before deeming you a lost cause.]

How about you just call it a "Sky dagger"?

Sky dagger works.

[ Shush, he doesn't have his father's gift for languages yet. ]

That one looks like a cat. I'm naming it Alfred.

[ He pauses and looks to Jon. ] Al-Fred.

[ Okay, yes, he is messing with you now, but just a little. ]

[ Jon rolls his eyes. ]

Better than Bat-Star.

[Damian only smirks wider.]

You're right, we need a star named that. Since it no longer points North from here, I say we call the no longer North star, the Bat-Star.

[ Jon scoffs. ]

No one's calling it that.

No one? I just did. [ So in your FACE! He will ignore your naysaying and carry on, getting some paper to draw out their star map.

He stifles a small yawn. He is working here, don't be so rude sleepiness. ]

You don't count. I bet no one else would ever call it that.

[ LET HIM LIVE HIS LIFE, JON! ] I'm the only one that counts. [ Obviously. ]

[ He gives Jon the paper then lays back using Annie like a pillow. ] Your turn. Pick one.

Shouldn't we be writing this down?

[ For future generations!! But he leans back with a hum, looking around. ]

How about that bright one to the left?

[ Damian looks over when Jon lays with him. Annie's a great pillow like that. ]

I did. [ He points at the names under the star patterns he drew. In perfect cursives. Have you not learned to read cursive yet, Jon? Hopefully, the school system here will get on that because Damian is running out of room on your ever-growing lesson plan. ]

That one? I don't think Earth has a name for that one yet. Name it.
