Alright, I'm gonna tell you guys what I've told most of the people who have been e-mailing me. Darkseid's Vengeance is almost done, but I am having trouble with the fight scenes. Blooming love, I'm half way through it but I want it to be awesome.
This one is short, like super short like the shortest ever…short. SHORT!
And yes that's a Buffy reference.
SHORT!

"We have to get rid of him."
"Yes, well it's not like I have been trying to do that for the past 10 years."
"He has been too close to the weapon. If we get rid of him we will have a chance of him seeing the light."
"What if we open a portal into other dimension and throw him in it. There is this one dimension with only shrimp-"
"Klarion-"
"That's a good idea."
"Thank you. At least someone appreciates my brilliantness."
"Explain."
"Not now I have planning to do." Lex Luthor says as he logs off.
…Happy Harbor High school
"Come on Conner, you need to start dating again." Zatanna says to Conner.
"I have." Conner tells her as he eats an apple.
"Who?" Zatanna asks him.
"People."
"What people?"
"You want names?"
"Yes, give me the names."
"Dude, it's been 5 months, have you even gotten laid?" Mal Duncan asks him.
"Yes."
"Right, who?"
"Fine, her." Conner points to a blonde girl wearing tight jeans and a tight light yellow shirt laughing with her friends.
"Nice." Duncan says to him.
"And her." Conner points to a black hair girl, wearing black shirt, black jeans and black boots reading a book.
"You have weird taste."
"And him over by the soda machine." Conner says as he points to a guy as he grabs a coke and other guy walks over puts an arm around him playfully choke holding him. "Yeah twice."
"Ok that's James, he's in the football team with me, he's not even gay." Mal scoffs.
"Well he was that night." Conner looks at him smugly, the group looks at him. "You asked." He says as he eats his apple.
"I don't believe you." Mal says as he looks at him.
"Yo Duncan!" the brunette guy walks over to the table.
"James." They handshake and bump fists.
"Hey so, party at my house, all seniors are mandatory."
"Awesome."
"Thanks."
"Conner you coming?" James asks him.
"If I don't have anything else, sure."
"Cool, later guys. Ladies." James says with a smile as he walks off he adds. "Try to make it Conner, it'll be fun."
"Oh my god, he's seen you naked." Mal says shaking his head.
"Told ya." Conner says as he bites his apple.
"You have a problem." Zatanna says to him, Conner shrugs.
…California
An alien green with blue hair and body armor appears in a platform as he teleports in from his space ship in space and takes a look around. "This will do." He says.
Superman is the first to arrive then Flash. "You're trespassing, tell us your business." He says to him.
"Well, hello there, my name is Zarbon and you are?"
"He's Superman and I'm Flash. I'd answer him if I were you."
"Well this is a bit informal, I was planning on going to your government and giving them a statement."
"And what statement is that?" Superman asks him.
"I plan on taking your planet and selling it."
"But we live here." Flash says.
"You're smart." Zarbon says to him.
"He means, what happens to the people living here?"
"How should I know? This planet has many resources, I could make you all rich." Zarbon says calmly. "Oh look at that, you have a green lantern in your sector, that is excellent. That's a good selling point." He says as Hal flies ready for a fight.
"Selling point?"
"He wants to sale the planet." Flash tells him.
"But we live here."
"That's what I told him."
"Look, you can't take our planet, we're kinda using it at the moment but if you give us your card well call you when global warming starts to be a real problem." Green Lantern says sarcastically as he crosses his arms.
"If I could just talk to your government I'm sure we could come up with a reasonable price."
"We represent this government." Superman says to him. "And we say no."
"The money I have is plenty to give all of the being that live here." Zarbon says stubbornly.
"They said to leave." Superboy appears.
"Kon what are you doing here?" Superman says trying to sound calm.
"Back up." Superboy says to him.
"As I was saying, I can sell you another planet you can live in, I'm sure you can find it to your satisfaction." Zarbon says with a smile.
"He said no." Superboy says. "Now get the hell off our planet before we force you."
"You are very persistent, I'll tell you what, I will give you two planets for this one it will allow you to expand your race."
"We need you to leave now." Superman says to him.
"Alright three but only because you are being so stingy with it." Zarbon says.
"Enough talk!" Superboy yells out.
"Kon wait!" Superman yells out to late as Superboy speeds off to him.
Zarbon picks up his hand shooting a green laser out of it, Superboy dodges it easy enough and punches him out of the platform. Zarbon goes flying out then lands turns to look at him.
"That was good." Zarbon says smirking. "You'll make a fine new addition to my army."
"Yeah, like I haven't heard that one before." Superboy says as he puts up his fist.
Zarbon presses a button on his arm and an army of 6 legged creatures, two eyes with glowing swords.
"Did that just happen?" Flash asks as he looks around at all of the spider army aliens.
"Guys I think I pissed him off." Superboy says taking a couple of steps back.
"You think!" Superman yells at him angry.
"Oh I hate him." Green Lantern says as he looks around him.
"Kill them." Zarbon says in a different alien language. "I want the boy."
They jump and swarm them all.
"Stay together!" Batman yells out as Wonder woman, Captain Marvel join in the fight.
"I don't think that's an options!" Green lantern (Hal) yells back as he makes a green bubble trying to keep them back.
"Flash! Watch it!" Batman yells out as he stays low to avoid getting blown off.
"It's not me!" Flash yells back dodging the glowing swords from multiple spider looking aliens.
Superboy was making a hurricane to clear off the aliens who were trying to claw at him, since he was used to doing things solo he didn't think of the league getting blew off.
"Superboy!? Stop!" Superman yells out as he stands his ground.
Superboy stops and turns to see Superman and the others. "Sorry."
"I didn't know he could do that." Flash says Superboy pushes a spider with the air.
"Neither did I." Superman, Wonderwoman and Batman all say at the same time.
Superboy runs as he picks up pieces of the road punching them to the spider aliens they screech out in pain as the concrete falls on them.
"Superboy get out of there!" Batman yells at him.
One of the spiders throws a metal ball at Superboy's feet, he doesn't notice it until red dust comes out of it, he starts coughing waving his hand flying up for air as the red dust surrounds the battle street. Green lantern puts up a bubble around the Leaguers unable to see what was happening outside.
"Where's Kon?" Superman asks looking around.
"I can't see anything." Flash says as he looks around.
"Neither can I." Wonder woman says looking around.
"Flash, the two of us can make a hurricane blow all of this dust off. Green Lantern keep the bubble and tie it to the ground so it won't fly off as well." Superman orders them.
"Got it."
"Let's go!" Flash yells out.
Green Lantern let's Flash and Superman out of the bubble quickly closing it back up, then putting hooks on the street. "Hold tight." He says to himself holding his ringed hand up as Superman and Flash start to run/fly around in a circle to blow off the red dust that was impairing their vision.
After the dust flew up to space, Superman and Flash took a look around as the spider aliens where being teleported out in a blue light.
"Superman above you!" Batman yells out.
Superman looks up seeing Superboy get carried off. "Kon!" he yells out as he flies straight for them they get dematerialized by a blue beam. "No." he says as he looks around, he turns around and sees Zarbon on his platform with a smile. He flies straight for him grabbing him. "You messed with the wrong little brother." He growls. "Where is he!"
"Enough!" he pulls out his gun and shoots Superman in the face.
Superman looks at him unimpressed, he slams him down to the ground. "WHERE IS HE!" he screams at his face.
"He's getting re-educated like I do with all of my new soldiers. Don't worry you'll see him soon."
A 6 legged alien knocks him back with a claw, sending him down to the others as they get beamed off.
"Superman-"
"Kon is up in the space ship, they're trying to turn him against us."
"We have a bigger problem to deal with down here if they come back." Flash says to them. "Were completely and ridiculously out numbered."
"If Kon gets turned against us." Batman starts.
"May God help us all." Wonder woman says.
…Space ship
Specking in screech.
"The boy seems to be of alien origin. His anatomy is not on file."
"A rare specimen."
"He's waking up."
"Put it back to sleep, he needs to be re-educated."
Superboy wakes up as he looks around blinking confused. "What are you doing?" he realizes that he was wrapped in something sticky and white. "What the hell!
"Stay calm."
"Get the hell off me!" Superboy yells out as he pushes on off him while the other one wraps the cocoon tighter, Kon grabs him with is free hand tossing him. Another sprays him with something on his face and he falls back to sleep.
…
Kon wakes up and takes a look around. "Where I'm I?" he asks as he was in a city he didn't recognize. Even more bizarre was that the 6 legged aliens where just walking around on two of their legs, one of them passes through him and he freaks out. "What the fuck is happening?!" he yells out. Kon looks around in a panic as he flies off then sees stars falling out of the sky they weren't comets they were ships as they land on the ground start killing at random. "HEY!" he yells out and punches one but ends up going through him. "Of course." He says as he looks around in a short period of time the peaceful city became a war zone.
Kon quickly realized that it was Zarbon, and the spider army wasn't his army they were his prisoners. He knew what had to done. Zarbon had to be stopped.
…
After minutes later, they let the cocoon dissolves around him as Kon wakes up he sits up, Zarbon looks at him. "Good, now let's go take care of your friends. They're in the middle of destroying my army which took years to acquire."
"As you wish." Superboy says, he puts his hand on Zarbon's shoulder and teleports out into the war zone.
…Earth
"Kill them all." Zarbon says to Superboy.
Superboy smiles at him puts his hand on his face smashing him down to the ground. "Better men than you have tried to brainwash me."
"Kon!" Superman yells out hearing his voice.
Kon flies up to the sky as the watches everything, the fires, the people trying to run away, the heroes saving them.
"Stop! Everyone stop!" Kon yells out to everyone but no one was listing as the U.S army comes in with their tanks and machine guns shooting every alien in sight. "I said stop!" He yells out again. He lands on the ground as they all fight, soldiers bodies and aliens on the floor lifeless. He closes his eyes then opens them back up his eyes turn red. "I said STOP!" he yells out as he sends out a blue TTk blast, everyone falls down landing hard, the guns disassemble, as well as the aliens. His eyes go back to normal. "I don't understand." Kon says.
Zarbon walks to him. "You brat, how did you break the programming."
"I wasn't talking to you." Kon says as he walks past him not even looking at him. He looks at the other 6 legged aliens army everywhere. "Why do you follow him?" Kon asks them no longer speaking English.
"He is nothing, you are brave, you bargained your lives for this? Look around you! You are a race for peace not death." They look at each other. "No look at him!" he yells out pointing at the human looking alien. "He is no leader. He preys on the strong and relies on fear alone." He walks to the army as they stand listening to every word. The only other being who has ever stood up and against them by speaking. "He is no leader! He's just a coward." He says mocking him.
"You brat! Kill him!" the leader yells out. Kon stands still as no one races a claw to him. "I said kill him! NOW!" he yells out again. No one does anything, Kon stands arms crossed his back to the foreign army unafraid. "I will show you what happens when they disobey." He says as she presses a button on his wrist device the aliens flinch as they wait for their punishment but nothing happens.
Kon smiles and turns to the creatures as they look at him. "You are free!" he yells out to them still speaking their language as he raises his arm in a fist.
They screech in victory.
…
"The League will help with the political bull crap here."
"We thank you."
"And Thank you for not brainwashing me."
"We did."
"But, I'm not and while I was in the cocoon thing-ew by the way-I saw what happen to your planet. Zarbon attacked you and destroyed your city, you showed me all of that."
"No I did not."
"But, I saw it."
"Yes, you probably read it off one of the scientists."
"Read?"
"You are a psychic right?"
…Mount Justice
"You have psychic powers!?" Kid Flash yells out.
"Of course you do." Robin mumbles.
"YES! Isn't it freaking awesome!"
"That is so unfair." Artemis says. "I barely even have one how come he gets a billion."
"How did you-what did you –when did you?" Wally stammers, Artemis hits him over the head. "How did that even happen?"
"I have no idea." Kon says with a smile. "I have no idea how to control it." he says as if he just noticed it. "I gotta go train." He says walking off to the training room.
"This is so unfair." Artemis says annoyed.
"I know babe."
"No, not that, how come I wasn't invited to the alien invasion."
…
"Kon?" Dick walks in wearing his tight black tights and his white blue tight shirt. "Are you in here?" he asks as he goes over to a ladder as he starts climbing up to a high wire with a small white towel and a water bottle. He balances himself walking perfectly on the wire, he puts his arms out as he breaths calmly trying to get to the other side, he does it over and over and over until his feet start to hurt then stopped. He sat down at the stoop and drank his water and sighs.
"That was awesome!" Kon yells out to him from the 30 feet fall.
Dick looks down at him. "Damn." He mumbles.
Kon flies for to him and sits in midair. "Why didn't you tell us you could do that?" he asks him.
"I haven't perfected it and I wanted to make sure that I could do it right."
"Since when can you do that?"
"Since I was 5 but I stopped when I joined Batman and I'm a little rusty and since it's a 30 foot fall I don't wanna die."
"Seems reasonable." Kon says with smirk.
"Just don't tell anyone ok."
"We share secrets?" Kon asks him.
"Yeah sure."
Kon grabs his hand pulling him down and Dick yells out in shock as they fly down to the mats. Kon puts Dick down and walks over to a punching bag putting it on a rail hooking it up.
"Watch this." Kon says as he stands a good 20 feet away, Dick beside him, he stands on his fighting and pulls out a punch, a blue blast of energy goes to the bag punching it all the way back making a dent on the caves wall. He starts panting a little.
"Whoa! How did you…?" he says as he turns to look at Kon who was breathing a little harsh. "Are you ok?"
"Yeah, it just takes a little out of me." Kon says as he takes a breath. "It's not perfected yet." He says repeating Dick's words.
"So how do you do it?" Dick asks.
"Well I was trying to psychically connect with a frog and I accidently blew it up then did what I just did to a tree. And I just started practicing that then I realized that the more I do it the more tired I got. So I stopped and now I'm here."
"You did that all day?"
"Yeah, my aim has gotten way better, believe me." Kon sits down on the mats and looks up Dick. Dick sits down. "How long have you been practicing?"
"For like 30 minutes."
"How are your feet?"
"Sore." Dick says removing his shoes rubbing his feet, from his toe to his arch.
"You were really awesome on the high wire."
"I can do it with my eyes closed."
"No you can't."
"It's more a case of feel, Kon, you know? I could do it with my eyes shut." Dick says to him. "My teacher said I was one of his best students."
"You think maybe you could ride a bike on that thing? And maybe spin a ball on your nose at the same time?"
"Shut up!" Dick pushes him with both hands.
Kon chuckles. "It would be a show stopper."
They stay quiet for a while Dick looks at Kon. "So how are you?"
"Good, you?"
"Good."
"Ok, then."
"Zatanna told you I've been having a lot of random sex?"
"She's just worried about you."
"First she tells me that I need to date and get over Mike then when I tell her that I am dating she get pissed."
"Girls." Dick scoffs.
"Exactly."
"Don't take this the wrong way." Dick starts, Kon looks at him curious. "I'm kinda jealous of you."
"What?"
"You have all of these awesome powers and I have none."
"Dick we've switched powers. You hated it. Plus you have so many principle I admire that about you. I have none. "
"True." Dick says to him. "But we only switched for like 2 days."
"So you want my powers again?"
"No." Dick says to him. "I just want to…know. You know? What it's like to be able to do anything and everything."
"I know Superman thinks I don't understand what it's like to feel powerless and that for him that's bad. I've never felt that way-powerless, for me that's scary. Waking up one day and not having my powers. This. Is all I've ever known. You don't want my powers Dick. What I told you about my powers being a burden, I was trying to make a joke but it's true, my powers are my burden to bare. I love them."
"You are so freaking strong I don't know how you do it."
"Superior genetics."
"Screw you."
Kon laughs and so does Dick.
"You know it's true."
"So when are you going to forgive Bruce?" Dick blurts out, Kon turns to look at him unexpected. "It's been a long time, almost a year I think it's time you forgive him."
"That's funny."
"Kon."
"He made a list."
"You can't blame him after the red kryptonite incident we all made a list."
"I'm not going back in the pod."
…
"And of course our so called heroes let the aliens go. They tried to take our planet and kill us all but whatever. And our so called Superboy emphasis on boy was behind it all."
"Why don't you say that to my face!?"
…Mount Justice
"oh my god." Zatanna says as she looks at the Tv.
"Oh no." Megan says looking at it as well.
…
"Master Bruce."
"Sleeping."
"I would imagine after your exploits last night yet I feel like you should see this." Alfred says showing him an iPad raising the volume as Bruce does not make a move.
"And our so called Superboy emphasis on boy was behind it all."
"Why don't you say that to my face!?" Kon yells out.
Bruce's eyes burst open, sits up and looks at the screen. "Oh no."
…Bar
"This is nice. Family dinner." Oliver Queen says as he sits with Roy and Dinah.
"It's been a while." Roy says with a smile.
"It really has." Dinah also smiling.
"How about steaks?" Oliver asks.
"Yeah."
"Definitely."
"Hey Brad, mind turning that crap off!" Oliver yells out to the bartender as Gordon Godffey rambles on about heroes being bad for the world.
"Yeah alright." Brad says and goes to turn the tv to another channel.
"Whoa, whoa hold on." Roy says as he takes a glimpse of the tv.
"Why don't you say that to my face!?" Kon yells out.
"Oh yeah!" Oliver starts laughing.
"Oh god." Dinah says starring at wide-eyed and open-mouthed. "Ohhhh, I cannot look at it!"
…
"Oh hey Bruce."
"Where are you?"
"I'm at work. Why?"
"Are you close to a tv?"
"Not really, Lois is hogging the one at the break room."
"Go there now."
"But-"
"Trust me Clark go now."
Clark stands up holding up his phone. "What's so important?"
"Are you there yet?"
"Yeah I'm here. What channel?"
"Gordon Godfrey."
"Are you kidding? I hate that guy."
"Clark."
"Alright, Lois can you change the channel real quick?"
"Yeah ok, theirs a commercial anyway." Lois says giving him the control.
Clark changes the channel to the news.
"So you think, you can do better or what?" Kon asks him angry.
"Oh my god."
"Superman is just going to kill him." Lois says as she sees Superboy on Tv.
…
"Well if it isn't Superboy. What brings you around?"
"You, talking shit about me and my family." Kon tells him, he was wearing his S black leather jacket open, black muscle shirt with red S on his chest, black beanie on his head, his combat jeans and boots you wouldn't actually be able to recognize him, if it wasn't for the S.
"You're family?"
"The Justice League." Kon tells him. "Dumbass." He adds, who did he think he was talking about?
"Well there you have it ladies and gentlemen, the league is this poor boy's family. Well no wonder he's the way he is."
"What the fuck are you talking about?"
"Well, Superboy a family must have a mother and a father to take care of their children."
"Yeah wanna say that a little louder for all of the single parents in the world."
"You have no respect for authority."
"What teenage boy does?"
"The kind that is raised by two parents who love him."
"If you actually think that, then I would hate to be your kid."
"Kon what do you think you're doing?" Superman arrives quickly before anything worst could happen.
"Not now Kal, I'm busy." Kon waves him off.
"Superman, good. As the wise older brother maybe you could disciple your little brother."
"What did you just say to him?"
"Not now child, the adults are talking."
"You think you're god's gift to the human race. Well I got news for you. You don't know shit until you have a mom yelling at you to drop her while in midair to save her baby in burning building." Kon tells him angry.
"Now why would a child have to make that kind of decisions? Superman."
"Umm…I…don't really have a comment."
"Don't drag him into this. If you have something to say to me, I'm right here."
"Why are you doing this? Don't you want to be in school and play with normal kids?"
"Normal kids?" Kon asks him. "What the hell is a normal kid? Is it the ones that shoot each other or the ones that don't give a crap about the world only about themselves?"
"Yes, that is what a normal child is, and it is the parents responsibility to teach them different. Do you even have that?"
"Yes, they called the Justice League. They take care of me and they love me even when I screw up and tell me that everything is going to be ok when I get sad."
"Don't you see, your life isn't good. Children aren't supposed to-"
"Just SHUT UP, Ok? I'm allowed to dislike somebody who hurt me. I'm allowed to say what I want, laugh how I want, do what I what, and be who I want. This is my life, and if you don't like it then there's something wrong with yours, not mine."
"Kon let's go." Superman says as he picks something up in the police chatter.
"But-"
"Now." Superman flies off the studio back out the building.
Superboy points to Gordon. "This isn't over." He flies after Superman.
…
"Stop!" Superman yells out angry.
"I was hoping to get your attention." Parasite says chuckling. "Come on show me what you got."
Superman rushes him with his super speed, Parasite gets ready to get hold of him to drain his powers for himself but instead gets kicked in the face by Superboy, and lands on his knee, Parasite is about to take hold of him when Superman punches him on sending him flying straight up. Superboy jumps/flies after him, when he was at least 70 feet up he punches him back down to Superman. Superman hears Parasite yelling and gets on his fighting stand punching him back up to Superboy. Superboy smirks kicks Parasite on the stomach sending him back down, Superman takes a step back as Parasite lands making a dent on the road. Superman turns and sees the police line being held back for the citizens. Captain Sawyer smiles at him as he walks towards her.
Kon lands crunched down and follows Superman beside him.
"Teamwork." Superman says.
"Good to blow off some steam every once in a while."
"Thank you Superman." Captain Sawyer says to him as she waves for her men to go on a head to put the cuffs and inhibitor collar.
"You're welcome Captain." Superman says to her.
"Kon, saw you on Tv." She says to him as he walks up to her.
"I have control issues."
"Among other things I would imagine."
"You break my heart Cap." Kon says putting his hand on his heart.
She smiles at him. "Behave, I could arrest you."
"Oh you can't put me in Belle Reve, I put most of those guys in there."
"Then you better not piss me off."
"I'm at your mercy captain." Kon says as he bows to her and continues walking off into the cop line then takes off flying.
"Well he sure has…"
"What? What exactly is the end of that sentence?"
"A teenage boy."
"Really?"
"Isn't that what boys are like at their age?"
"I wasn't."
"Superman, he just help capture Parasite with less damage to the city that I have ever seen. Forget what Godfrey says." Captain Sawyer says to him. "You should be proud."
…Bibbo's Diner
"No, it was Kant he said 'Act in such a way that the maxim of your action should become a universal law of nature'." Conner says to him.
"No that was Aristotle." Clark says back.
"Are you insane?"
"Bruce what do you think?" Clark asks him as Bruce reads the paper.
"I'm sorry, did you say something?" Bruce says as he continues to read.
"I don't know about you, Kal, but I've never felt so fascinating in my entire life." Kon says to his brother.
Zatanna walks in as the bell rings and she walks in with a bag.
"Oh good you're here." Bruce says putting down the paper. "How is your life?"
"Fine." Zatanna says to him.
"Great, let's go." Bruce says about to stand up.
"I stopped by the bookstore on the way here." Zatanna says pointing to the bag.
"You got them?" Conner asks exited.
"I got 'em!" she says as she pulls out the books.
"Got what?" Clark says as Zatanna gives the book to him.
"Conner and I are starting to plan our Europe trip."
"The day after I graduate, we are gone."
"Well, that sounds very exciting."
"Kon, what are these?"
"Those are guidebooks."
"Europe Through the Backdoor." "The Rough Guide to Europe." What kind of guidebooks are these?" Bruce asks reading the titles.
"The cheap kind." Zatanna says to him.
"They have all the good information about backpacking and staying in hostels." Conner says to them.
"Backpacking and staying in hostels?" Bruce asks.
"Who's backpacking and staying in hostels?" Clark asks.
"We are." Zatanna and Conner say at the same time pointing to each other.
Clark and Bruce start to laugh, Zatanna and Conner look at their guardians confused.
"No, you're not." Bruce says to them.
"What a ridiculous thing to say."
"We are. We're going to backpack around Europe."
"Yes, I know, it's fun to tease me, Zatanna. They're going to backpack across Europe, Clark."
"I heard, sounds delightful. Perhaps we should join them."
"That sounds wonderful. Tomorrow I'll go out and buy some cutoffs.
"Guys, we're not kidding." Conner says to them.
"You're telling me you're seriously going to traipse across Europe with your possessions strapped to your back and sleep in a room with thirty other people?" Bruce asks them.
"Yes." Conner and Zatanna both say with a smile.
"No." Clark says to them.
"Kal."
"It's not safe especially if it's just going to be the two of you. We forbid it."
"Call my travel agent." Bruce says to them.
"But we want to be spontaneous. Jump a train to Paris, head off to Spain." Zatanna tries to explain to them.
"Oh no, it's raining in Spain. But since the rain in Spain stays mainly in the plain-" Conner starts.
"Looks like Italy for us!" Zatanna says happy.
"Mamma mia!" Conner says in an accent.
"You can still travel around aimlessly and stay in a decent hotel." Clark says to them
"We wanna do it cheap." Zatanna tells him.
"I'll pay." Bruce suggests.
"Technically you are paying just not so much that we feel bad about it." Conner says to him, they were getting their allowance together. "Clark, it's going to be fun, really." he says trying to convince him.
"People do this all the time." Zatanna tells them.
"Yes, but you're a kid. What are people going to think when they see a teenage girl bunking down with a bunch of twenty-year-olds?" Bruce says to her.
"Well, if the twenty-year-olds are cute, they'll probably think, "Lucky!" Zatanna says smiling.
"Clark, don't be upset. It really is going to be great."
Clark opens the book and starts to read. "What's so traumatic about a night without a bed anyway? My survey shows those who have had the opportunity to be a refugee for a night have their perspectives broaden and actually enjoy the experience." Bruce, this book is encouraging them to sleep in a park like a squirrel."
"It's ok, Clark." Conner says to his brother.
"My first trip to Europe, I went to Paris and stayed at the Ritz." Bruce says remembering it with his parents.
"Well, I tell you what, if it'll make you happy, we'll go to Paris and eat out of their dumpster." Conner says with a smile, Bruce and Clark looked unamused.
Zatanna giggles. "Oh also Kon got accepted into Ivy Town."
"Yay me. I need a milkshake." Conner says and raises his hand. "Rosa, milkshake over here!" he says to the waitress.
Zatanna raises her hand. "Strawberry for me please." She says kindly.
…Mount Justice
"Superboy." Batman says as he walks in the living room.
"Can't talk, playing." Kon says as he plays on the Xbox playing Resident Evil. Kon was wearing a black S sweater the red S with hoodie over his head slouching on the green couch in his gray boxers, bags of chips, cookies and cokes on the coffee table. "Die zombie, die! Die!" he yells as he shoots the dog looking zombie. "Why are these things so hard to shoot?" he asks himself. "Aw man no dog hop skips like that! Get off me." he says as he wiggles the control sitting up.
"Have you seen Superman? I haven't been able to get a hold of him." Batman says as he looks at the screen then at Kon. "Kon did you hear me?"
"No." he says as he continues to shoot zombies.
"Where's Superman?" Batman says a bit loud.
"He's in the Fortress, something about an virus." Kon says to him. "He doesn't want to be disturbed."
"I'm sure he'll make an exception."
"Die zombie!" Kon yells at the tv.
"When are you leaving for Europe?"
"When Zatanna finalizes her clothing options."
"Right, tell her to hurry." Batman says to him
"I will be saving the world from a zombie apocalypse today." Kon says to himself.
"Good luck with that." Batman says walking off.
North Pole…Fortress of Solitude
"Everything is under control." Superman says to him nervously.
"What happen in here?" Batman asks looking around confused at all of the mess.
"Well Robot #6 said a virus was in the computer then Robot #3 started attacking and then Robot #1 shut everything down and-" Superman rambles as he picks stuff off the crystal floor, Batman looks at him. "I have a problem."
"How big?"
"Well you know how I told you I have a prison for the super criminals of the universe."
"Your father made it, The Phantom Zone."
"Exactly, you are so smart."
"Superman."
"When Robot #1 shut down everything he also shut down the barrier that was keeping it closed."
"What?"
"The backup power turned it back on a few seconds later but-"
"How many escaped?"
"One."
"Which one?" Batman asks knowing that even one could kill hundreds of humans.
"Zod."
…Watchtower
"Who's Zod?" Flash asks.
"What's the Phantom Zone?" Captain Marvel asks.
"Zod is a ruthless and powerful Kryptonian military leader." Green Lantern (John) tells him knowing exactly who he was.
"And the Phantom Zone is-"
"Picture an alien Alcatraz." Green Lantern (Hal) says to everyone.
"Whoa." Captain Marvel says mouth open.
"With the galaxy's worst criminals who were mass murderers on a grand scale."
"Double whoa."
"It makes our prisons look like a zoo."
"But Zod hasn't appeared, maybe you're wrong."
"I will destroy your planet Kal-El!" Zod yells out as he uses his heat vision to cut a building in half. "But first I will start with your precious city." He says with a smile.
"Maybe we should go down and stop him before he kills more people."
They all start to move to the zeta beams, Superman didn't move. They turn back to look at him.
"What's wrong?"
"I have the crystal, I'll put him back where he belongs." Superman says to them then sighs. "Problem is I don't think he'll be that easily taken in."
"Meaning?"
"Meaning, I might have to go with him."
"When will you be coming back?"
"I'll destroy the door way and-"
"You'll be stuck there." Batman tells him.
"Yes."
"Superman." Batman starts looking at him. "Clark."
"Don't tell Kon."
"So are we going?" Kon asks as he appears out of thin air looking at them.
"Let's go, kid." Superman says as he puts his hand on his shoulder.
"Do you have what you need?"
"Yes." Superman says showing him the red S shield clear crystal.
"Is that a knife?"
"Kryptonian dagger." Superman says as he shows it to him. The dagger is crystal with a blade bearing Kryptonian glyphs on its side. The glyphs translate to wisdom.
"Do you even know how to use it?"
"Don't be a smart ass, of course I do."
"Can I see it, my kryponion is a little rusty." Kon says as he gives Kon the dagger, Kon reads it. "Wisdom?"
"Yup."
"Weird, it's a dagger."
"The wisdom to know when to use it and when not to."
"Figured." Kon says looking at it then looks up at him, he picks up his free hand using his TTK to pick up the crystal and it lands perfectly on his palm, Superman looks at him confused, then understands. "Kon-"
"The world needs you more than it needs me."
"No!" Superman yells out as he grabs Kon, but disappears into red dust. "Damn it."
"Superman-"
Instead of going out the zeta tube he flies out to the windows in the Watchtower breaking them the air escapes then the emergency sirens come on, metal shields cover the hole he had made as Superman enters Earth's atmosphere burning his costume in the process.
"KON!"
Kon had thrown the crystal into the air, fighting with Zod hand to hand combat both of them equally impressive.
"I did not know, Kal-El had a son." Zod says between blows.
"He doesn't!" Kon yells at him, as Zod grabs him by the throat. Kon puts his fist up breaking the hold then lunges at him.
"NO!" Superman yells as he sees everything that's happening with is vision unable to fly faster afraid he'd break the sound barrier.
"Wait!" Zod yells as he feels being lifted up heading straight for the portal.
"Kal-" Kon whispers as he turns his head a little with a smile then shoves them both into the portal.
"KON!" Superman stops midair catching the crystal as it falls down. "No."
…Phantom Zone
Kon fell down as he and Zod rolled in the desert.
"ouch." Kon mumbles.
"I will kill you!" Zod yells as he kicks Kon his stomach, he grabs him by the hair. "But first I will torture you, as you will find to see that here in the phantom zone no one can ever gets old. You will learn that the hard-" Kon punches him, grabs the dagger that was on his belt and stabs him on his thigh then runs off into the desert. "You cannot run away! I will find you!" Zod yells out as he looks around the empty world. "And if I don't the Wraiths surely will!"
Kon runs then stumbles as he rolls and crawls over to a rock hiding behind it panting as he tries to calm himself down.
"This was a bad idea." He mumbles to himself, he closes his eyes and sighs. He opens his eyes, bright yellow eyes staring back at him, he grips tight the dagger. "Well ok then."
…
This is what I consider short.
Next one is a 3 year skip with the assembled of the new team and I'm gonna have to make some changes to that.
