Aria went with Dick to check up on Conner, they had him under kryptonite and Aria hated how he was thinking and looking. She never wanted it to come to this, she wanted to protect him but she knew that he had to find his own way around the world.

"I can hear them, people outside, what they're saying about me, I didn't kill him and it happened the way I said it did," Conner stated to the adults

"I know, we're gonna get you out of here, Conner," Dick stated with concern

"And find the people who did this," Aria added in support

"I've never seen anything like that and I didn't know that kind of power existed, he was terrified no one should die like that, not even Lex Luthor," Conner spoke in a solemn voice

"How are they treating you here?" Aria questioned looking around

"Besides the Kryptonite? Like I'm a murderer, like I'm the weapon I was created to be. Lex was right, all it takes is one mistake, and you're the villain," Conner spoke in a quiet tone

"You didn't make a mistake, you didn't do anything wrong and PD is just holding you here until they figure out what happened," Aria comforted the boy

"This isn't over, Aria," Conner stated before he was interrupted

"Mr. Grayson, Miss Kent time is up, we need to question it," They spoke over the system

"His name is Conner," Aria stated to the camera

"This is bullshit, you don't have to answer anything," Dick stated in response

"Yeah, I do, I was born in a tube so I'm used to being kept in a cage," Conner mumbled as he looked around

"You know, part of me wants to tell Conner to just break out of this fucking place," Dick admitted as they were leaving

"Hey, cool off, Conner's doing what he needs to and now it's our turn," Aria directed her boyfriend

"We need to find the person that killed Lex Luthor," Dick added in agreement

"And I'm gonna stay on Conner, make sure he knows he's not alone," Aria stated before Dick nodded and left

Aria went back to the room where they were holding Conner, it seemed that Supergirl had some pull when it came to visiting. Aria had brought Monopoly and they were playing it until she looked up to see Conner staring off into space causing her to sigh.

"You can take the Luthor hat off now. You're not him, you have two fathers, never forget that," Aria comforted with a smile

"Two fathers, one creator made in his image, I can hear everything that people here say about me and they will never let me forget what I am," Conner spoke in a whisper

"Dick and Rachel are going to find out who is responsible for this," Aria stated with sad eyes

"Look me in the eye and tell me that will make a difference to the people outside," Conner remarked making her shake her head

"You don't owe them a fucking thing," Aria stated with anger

"Miss Kent, visitation time is up," They spoke over the system

"I'll stay if you want me to, they'll have to drag me out of here and we both know what'll happen," Aria joked with a chuckle

"No, it's okay, better play by the rules, you see where that gets you?" Conner stated while shaking his head

"Aria, maybe you didn't find Lex's secret and maybe you found him searching for yours," Conner spoke making her nod

Aria had gone home soon only for Conner to be allowed to come home, later in the evening. Aria and Conner had agreed to stay away from Metropolis for a while. Rachel had been getting visions and flashes, they caused her to pass out in a fight later that night.
