Kon came into the DEO waving to random veterans who hadn't been killed off yet. He went into an office and sat down in front of the DEO's psychiatrist, Dr. Wong. "How are you feeling, Kon?" she asked warmly.
"Kind of pissed-off," Kon replied. "My sister is a mass murderer. She killed my parents," Kon said resentfully.
"A mass murderer," Kon repeated. "When I'm around her, my heart-rate is jacked but my hand is...steady. That's one thing I figured out about myself. My hand never shakes...ever," Kon said seriously.
"Why are you here?" Dr. Wong asked him.
"My aunt forced me to," Kon said honestly.
"I know you have to," Dr. Wong allowed. "But now that you're here, what do you want?"
Kon contemplated the question. "You want the truth?" he asked rhetorically.
"Yeah," Dr. Wong nodded.
"Valium," Kon said seriously.
"Really? Had you lied, you would have had an easier time getting what you wanted," Dr. Wong said unimpressed.
"What does that say about your profession?" Kon mocked. "Come on, hook me up with some of that good shit. I want to fly, metaphorically speaking."
"We should have a few more meetings before we talk about prescriptions," Dr. Wong said dismissively.
"Look, lady, I'm getting panic attacks. I see my mother in crowds. Thank God you're not a blond," Kon said to her. "On the way over here, I threw up in a trash can."
"That's because you're obviously hungover. How old are you?" Dr. Wong asked.
"Old enough to drink and drive," Kon said defensively. "I mean...not at the same time," he clarified.
"How old are you?" Dr. Wong repeated.
"Eight or nine, I've lost track of time," Kon admitted. "I haven't slept in weeks."
"Is that true?" Dr. Wong asked skeptically.
"It is," Kon insisted. "I want some fucking pills."
"I'm not prescribing Valium to an eight-year-old," Dr. Wong rejected.
"I'm coming in here against every instinct of privacy and self-reliance that I have and what do you do?" Kon asked. "You going to send me off onto the streets to score what I need. Is that what you do? You're fucking ridiculous," Kon raged.
Dr. Wong put forth a jolly rancher in front of him. "Are you fucking with me?" Kon asked her.
"Are you?" Dr. Wong asked him.
"Yeah," Kon admitted finally.
"Did it make you happy?" Dr. Wong asked.
"It did," Kon agreed.
"Talk to your girlfriend. Go on adventures together. Have fun and fuck with people you meet. Do what makes you happy again. Fill that hole in your heart. You're King now. Start fucking acting like one," Dr. Wong said to him.
"Damn," Kon realized.
"Get the fuck out of my office," Dr. Wong ordered.
"Thanks, Doc," Kon said appreciatively as he took the jolly rancher.
"God damn," Dr. Wong shook her head dismayed.
Kon and Soara crashed into an abandoned warehouse. Kon slowly got up and cracked his neck. He was suddenly punched through a truck. He quickly got up and went after Soara. She took him by the jacket and threw him forward. "You're weak, son of El. Unsure of yourself," Soara observed.
"Oh really?" Kon smirked.
The two fought hand-to-hand for a few seconds before Soara punched Kon to the floor. "The fact that you possess emotions, and I do not, gives me an evolutionary advantage," Soara told him.
Kon shot towards Soara. She grabbed him by the throat and then threw him down to the floor. She then picked him back up. "And if history has proven anything, it is that evolution always wins," she said as she threw him out of the warehouse.
Kon went to the sky and ignited to Super Insane. He pointed his palm at Soara and fired an energy beam straight at her. Soara put up her hand and was engulfed in flames. The warehouse behind was completely blasted away. When the smoke faded, Soara was on the ground stunned.
Kon walked over to her. "You held back," Soara realized.
"Well, duh," Kon smirked and then pulled her off the ground.
"I lied. I do feel emotions: greed and disgust. And right now, I feel so greedy," she said kissing him.
"I wish I could have shown you to my parents," Kon said thoughtfully.
"That sounds serious, Kon. Are you?" Soara asked.
"If its a choice between some clerk choosing my mate and you, I'll go with you," Kon smiled.
"So romantic," Soara mocked. "Why should I choose you? You're a half-breed barbarian."
Kon took out a device and opened a bluish portal. "Because in all of the universes that could ever exist, there is only one of me."
"Show me all these possibilities," Soara requested.
"It will take an eternity," Kon said to her.
"I don't mind," Soara smiled.
Kon and Soara entered the portal and entered another universe.
As soon as they exited the portal, the two looked around still in the same location only the warehouse was still there. "Shall we?" Kon invited Soara. The two took to the sky and flew towards Metropolis. Upon arriving, Soara got out of her Kryptonian black armor revealing civilian clothes underneath. As with most universes, everyone looked the same as before. The buildings and streets were all the same. The two took a stroll towards the Catco building. Kon then suddenly stopped like he was being stabbed.
"I can't go in there," Kon said.
"Don't be a bitch, Kon," Soara scolded.
"I just can't. I need to prep myself," Kon said.
Soara looked around and saw a movie theater. "Alright, let's go to the cinema. That will give you two hours to unfuck yourself," she said to him.
Kon looked at the movie theater sign: Expendables 4. "Sweet," Kon grinned already liking this universe. With cash, he bought two tickets and went inside.
Kon ignored the other movie posters and went inside the theater. There, he noticed the audience was exclusively male. Kon simply shrugged at that and sat down away from the others.
"What is this about?" Soara wondered.
"The plot doesn't matter. What matters is the action," Kon said excitedly for it to start.
As the movie played, Kon grinned as Sylvester Stallone and Arnold Schwarzenegger completed an action scene together. "These two are the best," Kon told Soara.
"Trench, you're like a brother to me," Barry said heartfelt.
"The comradery between these two is just perfect," Kon remarked to Soara.
"Barry, don't fuck with me. We're more than just brothers," Trench said and then kissed Barry passionately. The two proceeded to make out for a good minute.
Kon stopped eating popcorn and gave the screen a horrified look. Soara looked at Kon wondering what was wrong with him. When the movie was over, Kon had a permanent Gary Busey expression on his face. "Well, there was plenty of action," Soara said amused.
"How? Why?" What the fuck?" Kon wondered. Kon then noticed a number of guys holding hands as they exited the theater.
Kon looked at all the movie posters and noticed they were all gay-themed. Still not yet connecting the dots, Kon and Soara went inside the Catco building and took the elevator to the appropriate floor. Kon looked around and saw the familiar Catco office with busy reporters and writers.
In the main office, James was busy working on Mon's tie. "You look dressed for success," James smiled.
Kon peered around the corner and saw his father alive. He simply stared as his father was talking to James about fashion week. "When we found you, you were an egotistical prince with no morals. But now, you've become a beautiful flower," James complimented Mon.
"Thanks, man. It means a lot to me to be accepted," Mon said and then the two kissed.
Kon barged into the office while Soara toured around the desks. "What the fuck is this?" he demanded.
"I'm sorry. Who are you?" James asked.
"That's not important. You two are together?" he questioned them.
"Of course," Mon said holding up his wedding ring.
Kon simply stared at his father in disbelief and shock. "I think you need to leave before I call security," James said to Kon.
Kon shock-wave blasted James into his TV screen destroying it and knocking him out. "James!" Mon shouted going over to him.
Kon watched as Mon checked to see if James was alright. James groaned in pain and gave Mon an appreciative look. Kon leaped towards Mon and kicked him out of the office window. Mon fell all the way down and landed on his feet. Kon landed soon thereafter and blasted Mon down the street. Mon slammed into a car totaling it.
"I would fight back if I were you," Kon said as he went Super Insane.
Mon got on his feet and went into a fighting stance. Kon was on him in a flash punching him hard to the gut. Mon fell over devastated. "You're weak as fuck," Kon remarked.
"What do you want?" Mon asked painfully.
"I want my father back," Kon said angrily picking Mon up and throwing him into a bank. Mon slammed into the bank vault and stopped.
Mon struggled to get back up. Kon proceeded to beat the shit out of him in front of panicked customers. Kon then took out his sword. "If you're my father, you will be able to block me," Kon said.
Taking his sword, he sliced towards Mon's neck. Mon gave no resistance and Kon stopped himself a millimeter before touching his skin. "Kill me if you must but don't hurt James," Mon said to him.
Kon backed away confused and then left the bank. Soara quickly swatted down security guards that were about to apprehend Kon. "This place is a little odd," Soara noted.
"Let's go to the DEO," Kon said to her.
The glass doors of the DEO were suddenly blasted out as Kon and Soara entered the facility. DEO personnel immediately came in and swarmed them. Soara easily beat them all down. Kon advanced on the command center and saw Hank staring him down.
"Where's Alex Danvers?" Kon demanded.
"You think you can come in here and threaten us?" Hank asked unimpressed.
"Yeah," Kon said as he eyed the facility using his X-ray vision. Seeing neither Alex or Kara, he fired a thin beam through Hank's chest. "Nothing personal. I just can't have you resisting me."
"What do you want?" Hank asked him.
"I want my mother," Kon replied. He turned to Soara. "Stay here in case either of them shows up. I will check out the apartment."
"Yes, Sir," Soara replied.
Kon shot out of the DEO and flew towards Kara's apartment. Busting through the window, he looked around not recognizing anything inside. A family of four gave Kon a freaked-out look. "What are you doing here?" he asked them.
"We live here," the mother said freaked out by him.
"Who was here before you?" Kon questioned.
"A blond woman. She moved out several months ago," the father said to him.
"Where is she now?" Kon demanded.
At the DEO, Soara was suddenly ambushed by DEO personnel with Kryptonite weapons. A net was cast on her weakening her. The DEO troops subdued her and took her away to a Kryptonite cell. An injured Hank called up Alex. "I'm sorry to disturb you, Alex, but a young man may be on his way to your place," Hank said to her.
"Why?" Alex wondered concerned.
"I don't know, but he mentioned wanting to see his mother," Hank told her.
"Thanks for the heads up," Alex said appreciatively. Alex hung up the phone and turned to Maggie. "What was that about?" Maggie asked.
"We may need to leave," Alex said to her.
"I don't think so," Maggie said protectively taking out her pistol.
Alex smiled at Maggie and then the two kissed lovingly. Maggie affectionately placed her hand on Alex's very pregnant belly. "Soon, little James will be born," Maggie said feeling the baby kick.
Kon entered the L Corp tower, beat the security guards down, and went to the top floor. He then entered Lena's office only to find she wasn't there. Kon advanced on Eve. "Where's Lena Luthor?" Kon demanded.
"Probably at home. It's a Saturday," she said obviously.
"That's right," Kon recalled. "Where does Lena live?" Kon asked.
"No way," Eve said loyally.
Kon tapped her head knocking her out and then looked over Lena's computer. Hacking it, he looked for her address. Finding it, he took off towards Lena's apartment.
At Lena's luxurious apartment, Lena was naked in her bed enjoying the sensation of her spouse kissing her in the most sensitive regions. Lena closed her eyes in ecstasy as her legs were intertwined with the beautiful blond haired-blue eyed Kryptonian. Kara and Lena kissed with only the sheets to cover them. Their hands came together as they moved together in perfect sync.
"What's got into you?" Lena asked her.
"Do I need a reason to pleasure you?" Kara asked smiling.
"I guess not," Lena smiled.
Lena then noticed her cell phone ringing. It was from Alex. "Ignore it," Kara said kissing Lena on the lips.
"What if it's important?" Lena asked.
"She's always calling to tell me about her pregnancy," Kara said frowning.
"What's wrong?" Lena asked her.
"You know I can't get pregnant. I just wonder what it would be like to be a mom," Kara said sadly.
"Children are a big step for us. I can't take the time off work," Lena said.
"It's only for a few months after birth. I can't take care of the baby here at home," Kara offered.
"You're putting a lot on me," Lena said sitting up.
Kara kissed Lena's neck as she rubbed her back. "I know. I'm sorry I brought it up."
Lena felt conflicted and got up putting on a bathrobe. "Well, if Lex can be a father then maybe I can be a mother," she considered. She turned on the TV and saw President Lex Luthor and Superman at a press conference. Lex finished his press conference and then walked with Superman holding hands. Superman carried their young son with them back to the White House.
Lena sighed and turned off the TV. "Maybe...," she considered.
Kon then kicked the door open. "What the hell?" Lena wondered upon seeing him. She immediately went for her cell phone. Kon pointed to the phone and blasted it to nothing. "What do you want?" Lena asked him.
"Where's Kara Zor-El," he demanded.
Supergirl suddenly hit him to the face sending him into the hallway of the apartment complex. Kara glared at Kon as she fought him in the hallway. Kon blocked her attacks and used the walls to evade her and kick her back. Finally, Kon punched Kara through the wall of the apartment complex. Kara found herself in the air bewildered by the assailant.
Kon went Super Insane and playfully battled with Kara in the air. "Who are you?" Kara asked him.
"It's not important," Kon said as he blocked her punches.
Kon smiled as he felt his mother's punches. For him, being in his mother's presence was perfect. He kept the fight going until Kara was exhausted. A sudden red-and-blue blur intercepted Kon. Seeing the new threat, Kon rammed his fist hard into Superman's gut devastating him. Kon then blasted Superman across the city where he crashed into the bay. Kon then turned his attention back to Kara.
"You could have beaten me earlier. What do you want from me?" Kara asked him.
"Just your presence, your voice, your face," Kon said becoming emotional.
"You're acting like you love me," Kara speculated.
"I do," Kon agreed.
"So, you're one of them? I'm totally okay with it. I really am," Kara said to him.
Kon took a few seconds to figure out what she meant. "Is everyone on this world a homosexual?"
"Of course. It's been like that since I got here," Kara said obviously.
"How can a society like this function?" Kon wondered.
"Easy. Men donate their sperm to sperm banks and women have children. Men, in turn, pay higher taxes to pay for child services. Some men arrange for a surrogate, so they can have children of their own," Kara explained.
"Even if I were to buy that, there's no way that keeps the population stable," Kon assumed.
"There are too many people as there is. The environment is suffering from over-population," Kara said.
"Who did this?" Kon asked.
"No one did this. This is how it's always been from the beginning," Kara told him.
"I don't believe it," Kon said doubtfully.
"You know what, I don't care what you believe. You attacked me and my wife for no good reason," Kara said peeved.
Kon wasn't sure how to process that. "I'm from another universe. In my universe...you died. I'm your son."
Kara stared at Kon in shock. Her dreams of having a child were now turning into a nightmare. She then realized the implications of having a Kryptonian child. "Instead of fighting, let's talk," Kara said reasonably.
Kon had coffee with Kara, dressed in civilian clothes. Kon couldn't help but notice same-sex couples talking to each other and occasionally holding hands. "It disturbs you, doesn't it?" Kara noticed.
"It's just not as common in my universe," Kon said diplomatically.
"It's the same for heterosexuals here. They make up a small percent of the population. They get bullied and harassed all the time. It's a real shame," Kara said.
"I read up on your demographics. At the current rate, humanity will go extinct," Kon said seriously.
"That's alarmist propaganda," Kara said dismissively.
"If society was always this way, then how did it even reach seven billion people in the first place?" Kon questioned.
"I...don't really know," Kara said flustered.
"Something is out of place," Kon said obviously.
A parade then went down the street with heterosexuals voicing Straight Pride. "Straight is Tight!" they chanted. Kon simply stared at the parade not sure what to make of them. Many of them were wearing BDSM gear with men putting women on leashes.
"I could never be like them," Kara shook her head. "Having a man dominate me sexually or otherwise doesn't work for me. No man on this planet is stronger than me."
"Sometimes, you don't always have to dominate in all areas of your life. Sometimes, you can relax and give someone else a turn," Kon said to her.
"I can do that without a man, thank you very much," Kara smiled.
"In my universe, you and Lena don't get along. How did you decide to be together?" Kon asked curiously.
"Well, we started working together to prevent the Daxamite invasion. She created a shield around the planet that prevented them from landing. She didn't know I was Supergirl at the time, but we became close. Finally, I told her the truth and one thing led to another," Kara said reflecting on the memory.
"In my universe, you never told Lena your secret," Kon mused.
"Your universe sounds sad," Kara said sympathetically.
"Well, we can't all be gay, right?" Kon joked.
"I don't get it," Kara said confused.
"Never mind," Kon said shaking his head.
Kara then received a phone call from Hank. "I've been trying to reach you. There's a rogue Kryptonian here in one of my cells."
"I'll be there shortly," Kara told him.
With his super-hearing, Kon heard the whole thing. "I have to go," she said to Kon.
"I understand," Kon said getting up.
"I would go back to your own universe. Don't try to fix ours. Make your own a better place," Kara suggested.
"You look like her, you sound like her, but you're not her," Kon realized.
"Well, that might actually be a good thing," Kara said ready to take off.
Kon moved faster than she could track and smacked her to the back of the head knocking her out. "So, that's what it feels like," he mused.
Kon went back to the DEO and created an energy bomb in his hand. He released it and let it float. "Fuck with me, and it goes off taking the entire building down with it," he told the DEO troops.
"Come back for your comrade?" Hank asked.
"Girlfriend actually," Kon corrected.
Hank smirked as if he couldn't believe it. "You've been on this planet for two hundred years. How did it get this way?" Kon asked him.
"What do you mean?" Hank asked confused by the question.
"How did it reach seven billion people if everyone is a homosexual?" Kon asked.
Hank struggled for an answer. "You're a smart guy. What's the answer?" Kon pressed.
"I don't know. It's always been this way," Hank said confused.
"Yeah, bullshit. You're going to tell me who is behind this," Kon ordered.
"Who could turn the entire population homosexual?" Hank wondered. "It's impossible."
"Use that power of yours and find me a weird-ass alien that could be doing this," Kon told him.
Hank closed his eyes as he searched for that very mind. "There's an unaccounted for Kalanorian in the Himalayas," Hank said finally.
"Despero," Kon recalled.
"What do you plan to do?" Hank asked him.
"I'm going to kill his ass...again," Kon said resolved. "Before I go, I'm going to need my girl."
Kon and Soara flew towards the Himalayas and started looking for Despero. Using his sense of ki, he looked for a unique energy signature. The two then came across an abandoned Buddhist temple high in the mountains. There, they found Despero in deep meditation.
"So, someone finally found me," Despero said amused.
"What the fuck is this all about?" Kon asked him.
"This planet was over-populated and the environment was on the verge of collapse. I turned the population homosexual and made them forget it was ever different. Overnight, the cultures and religions of this world changed. The way people interacted and socialized changed. Economies, diplomacy, and military affairs all changed. I succeeded in cutting the population down by a third in one generation," Despero said impressed with himself.
"So, you're an environmentalist? Why the fuck do you care about this planet?" Kon asked.
"I seek to eliminate the human population completely, not through war or disease. They don't even realize the threat. They're not even looking for me. Once humanity becomes extinct, I will colonize this world with my own eggs," Despero grinned.
"They have technology to keep reproduction going," Kon pointed out.
"Not nearly as fast as the death rate. Even those who could reproduce, have no interest in doing so. Humanity has become spoiled and selfish not caring about the future of their species. They're too obsessed with their careers, their own pleasure, and their own personal pursuits," Despero said.
"I bet if I kill you the spell will be lifted," Kon grinned.
"I will turn you before you take one more step towards me," Despero said confidently as his third eye glowed.
Soara immediately grabbed Kon's throat caught in his mind trap. Despero then made Soara look like Kara to Kon's mind. "Bitch, please," Kon said backhanding her chest. Soara fell to the ground gasping for air.
"One down, one more to go," Despero said focusing on Kon.
Kon then witnessed the happy relationships of all he knew. He saw them smile, embrace, and kiss. He could see them on their dates. He could see them as they cooked for each other, watched movies together, and went hiking together. Kon saw the love they shared with each other.
"Can you end all this? Can you end their happiness?" Despero asked him.
Kon said nothing as he saw his mother truly happy for the first time. There was nothing fake or covered up. Kara and Lena laughed genuinely. Kon couldn't detect the pain and sorrow underneath that his mother had hidden from him all his life. This was true happiness and true love.
"Can you destroy their love?" Despero asked. "Why did you come here but to seek your own happiness."
"You're right. It would have to take an asshole of the highest order to end all this bliss," Kon admitted. "But maybe the common good is more important. My parents died to save this world. They cut their happiness short for the happiness of others," Kon said reflectively.
"Fuck," Despero realized.
Kon sped towards Despero faster than he could react and sliced through his third eye, into his brain, and through the back of his skull. Despero fell to the floor in a heap dead. Kon took out the sword and put it back in its sheath. He then went over to Soara.
"Sorry," he said picking her back up.
"Is he dead?" she wondered.
"Yeah, do you feel different?" Kon asked her.
"Nope," she shook her head.
"That's because you're an emotionless Kryptonian bitch," Kon chided.
"Reproducing with an Insane-Kryptonian hybrid that can destroy planets: Well, that's only logical," she smiled at him.
"Oh, behave," Kon said kissing her.
Kon visited Kara at Catco sitting down across from her desk. She looked like she had recently been crying, and her wedding ring was gone. "I'm so sorry," he said sincerely.
"Everyone's straight. How queer is that?" Kara said using a Kleenex to dry her eyes.
"Very," Kon agreed.
"I don't know how to handle this. What man could I be with?" Kara asked. "I don't even know what they like or what they want."
"Just be there, don't be a bitch, and give them sex unconditionally," Kon advised.
"Really?" Kara asked uncertainly. "But who?"
Kon eyed Mon and James arguing with each other in the office. Mon then walked off in a huff. "I have a suggestion," Kon smiled.
Kon and Soara went outside the city and activated the portal gun. "We can stay here if you want. You can teach your mother and father how to love each other," Soara told him.
"I want them to find each other on their own," Kon said. "Besides, Argo ain't going to kick its own ass."
"Kon-El, you started a revolution on this world. Will you do the same to Argo?" Soara asked.
"If I feel like it," Kon grinned.
The two then entered the portal and returned to their own universe.

Author's Notes: Yeah, this fake quote aged well. The author notes have been deleted in most of the chapters reducing their overall length. The only changes have been grammatical. Everything from before is still here. I have added three episodes from the Invasion crossover and another two from the AMAZO crossover that was skipped in the original.
