Season 4.5 Episode 6

Alex and Kelly worked to put camping equipment in the truck while Connor remained inside the house eating breakfast. "A tent for Connor and a tent for us," Alex said giving Kelly a romantic kiss.

"We'll need a flashlight," Kelly reminded her.

"Right," Alex agreed and went inside the house. She found the flashlight lantern but it lacked batteries. "Where's the batteries?" she asked Kelly.

"Should be the drawer," Kelly pointed out.

Alex put the new batteries in the flashlight and eyed Connor who was just wearing a t-shirt. "It's going to be cold. Make sure you wear your jacket," Alex said to him.

"Why?" Connor wondered.

"So you don't look like a freak to everyone else," Alex said obviously.

"What she means is that she wants you to feel included in human society," Kelly translated.

"Okay," Connor replied and then continued to eat his eggs.

"Did you hear me? Get your jacket," Alex ordered more forcefully.

"Come on, just let him finish his breakfast," Kelly said to her. Alex shook her head annoyed and went upstairs to get his jacket.

Kelly walked over to Connor and noticed he was chewing on his fork. "What the hell?" she wondered. "Connor?" she asked as she pulled the fork out of his mouth.

The fork was now a piece of twisted metal. Connor gasped upon seeing it not realizing what he had been doing.

Alex went up into Connor's room to get his jacket when she noticed some papers underneath his mattress. Curious, she pulled it out. "Hey, Connor just nearly ate his fork," Kelly said disturbed.

"Look at this," Alex said showing her pictures of swimsuit models.

"You really shouldn't look through his room. It violates his privacy and creates distrust," Kelly lectured.

Alex ignored her as her detective skills went into high gear. "Is this his idea of porn?" she wondered.

"My brother would have stacks of porn in his room. It's completely normal," Kelly downplayed.

"Did he do this too?" Alex asked as she showed Kelly a textbook diagram of a human body torso and then a graphic photograph of the same thing.

"No," Kelly remarked shocked. "Maybe we should have a talk with him."

At the campsite, Alex took Connor out into the woods for a good talk. Alex held the same rifle Kara had given to Connor. "You know, you're almost a teenager now. It means you're becoming a young man. Your body's changing," Alex said awkwardly.

"Okay," Connor said barely attentive.

"You're going to start to have feelings about women," Alex said.

"Did you feel the same way when you were my age?" Connor asked.

"No, I suppressed my feelings for a long time. I was in deep denial. I didn't even come out until I was nearly thirty," Alex said. "But when I finally realized who I was, I thought about women all the time. It was like a flood-gate opened. I was watching porn, seeing women at bars, and...," Alex said and then forgot herself as Connor stared at her.

"Look, sometimes it's okay to give in to your urges. Don't be like me and suppress it. When I was your age, I had this crush on a girl named Vicki. She was my best friend and I denied the reality in front of me. I denied that I loved her," Alex said reflectively.

"So...does that mean I can play with my penis?" Connor asked.

"The thing about sex, it's not about organs or body parts. I mean, it is that too. You know, it's about finding that right person and falling in love. All I am saying is that you're going to have certain urges when you see women on television or in your class. I'm just saying it's okay to give in to those urges," Alex said delicately.

"Like now?" Connor wondered.

"What? No. Not now," Alex said incredulously. She looked down the scope of her rifle to see if anything was out there. "Good talk," she muttered.

"What's the point of using a gun?" Connor asked her.

"What? To hunt with," Alex said obviously.

"I mean, I have these powers. I could just find a deer and kill it," Connor said.

Alex sighed. "My sister would say the same kind of thing. It's the challenge of the hunt that matters, not the kill."

"So, it's a game?" Connor asked.

"Yeah, kind of. It's like playing a game on hard mode," Alex said. "There are some men that use cheat codes to win over women. They use money or power but it isn't real love. When you play the game on hard mode and take away your advantages and powers, the love is so much stronger," Alex said to him.

"Okay," Connor agreed.

Alex then fired and missed an easy shot on a deer. Connor eyed Alex wondering what her deal was. "I never miss," Alex sighed feeling flustered.

That night, Alex suddenly woke up and turned on her flashlight. She exited the tent and looked around for Connor, but he was gone from his own tent. "Well...shit," she realized.

Caitlyn was a fellow classmate of Connor and the only one that seemed to appreciate his genius. She suddenly woke up when her laptop started playing country music. She went over to her laptop and closed it. However, once she got back to bed the laptop started playing again. Seriously freaked out, she went back to her laptop and closed it. She then noticed her window was open.

"Mommy!" she shrieked.

Her mother, Erica, then came into the room. "Someone is out there," Caitlyn said hyperventilating.

Erica went over to the window and closed it. "There's no one there."

"You have to believe me. He was right there," Caitlyn said distressed.

"Who?" Erica asked.

"Connor Danvers," Caitlyn replied.

Alex continued looking around the forest for Connor with her flashlight calling out his name. Connor suddenly appeared in front of her freaking her out. "Kelly and I are freaked out," Alex scolded him.

"I didn't mean to. I just wanted to look around," Connor said innocently.

Alex gave him a hug glad she had found him.

Flashback In The Future

Paris, European Union

The Super-Insane family took a cruise on the Seine River touring around Paris. Kara and Mara were in white dresses with the S-crest on their chests. Mon and Kon were in black Insane military uniforms. All four of them were on the top floor of the ship with no one else on-board except for minimal crew down below.

"Paris, the most romantic city in the world...well, before it became Frankstan where prostitution, contraception, and pre-marital sex were banned and all women were forced into burqas," Kara mused.

"Good times," Mon remarked.

"But after a catastrophic disaster, a religious purge, centuries of warfare, and finally our arrival, this city has turned itself around," Kara said, proud of herself.

Kara and Mon clinked glasses then kissed as they passed by the Eiffel Tower. "Gross," Kon stuck his tongue out.

"Someday, you will want to go out and hunt for females," Mon said to his son.

"Yeah, well hunting human females isn't in season," Kara told him.

"Who can marry me?" Mara asked curiously.

"You don't have to worry about that. Your mates have already been chosen," Kara informed them both.

"That's not fair. I want to choose," Kon said argumentatively.

"You did, in an alternate timeline," Kara told him.

"Really?" Kon asked skeptically.

"Don't doubt mother. She would never lie to us," Mara told him off.

"Yeah...mommy would never lie to either of you," Kara lied.

"Is she hawt?" Kon asked.

"Yes, Kon, she's hawt," Kara assured him. "But you don't get her until you're mature to handle her."

"When will that be?" Kon asked impatiently.

"At your rate of progress: never," Kara answered.

"In the meantime, you can have mistresses," Mon said to him.

"What the fuck did I just hear?" Kara objected.

"Son, when you grow older you're going to have urges towards the opposite sex. You're going to want to wrestle them and pin them to the mat. What you need to understand is that all Earth women are mine, all of them," Mon said to him.

Kara was about to interject but decided to let him finish. "So, you cannot partake what is mine unless I grant it to you. What I don't give you, you shall never take by force," Mon concluded.

"Got it," Kon understood.

"And only a man that can defeat me shall have you," Mon said to Mara.

Kon looked at the Eiffel Tower as it disappeared from view. Smiling, he considered a devious plot.

Present Day

At school, Connor was alone listening to music and drawing a comic-book character in his notebook of a boy with a cape and red mask. Alex and Kara were present at the school to pick him up. "Kelly says I'm overreacting," Alex said.

"She is a shrink and nothing they ever say is wrong," Kara mocked.

"Is that because all the shrinks failed you?" Alex mocked back.

"When you get a therapist to give up on you, you win," Kara smiled.

Alex and Kara then walked up to the distracted Connor who was drawing the same symbol on his notepad repeatedly. The symbols resembled swastikas. "What you drawing there?" Kara asked.

Connor immediately closed the notebook. Kara snatched it from him and started looking it over. "Nice shading and straight lines. You got the gift," Kara said amused showing Alex it.

"Connor, what the fuck is this?" Alex asked concerned and outraged.

"It's not what you think. It's just two "L"s put together," he said innocently.

"Why would you write that?" Alex asked confused.

"Lex Luthor," Kara realized.

Connor simply stared at Kara with fear in his eyes. "I see so much of him in you, but your destiny is not tied to him. You understand that, right?" Kara said to him.

Connor merely nodded. "Don't cause your mom any trouble," Kara ordered staring at him intently.

"I think you're scaring him," Alex said to Kara. "It must be something programmed into him for when he was in the tube."

"Yeah, maybe," Kara allowed.

Alex gave the notebook back to Connor. "This is your notebook. It's not for me to read through," she said taking Kelly's advice.

"Thanks," Connor said awkwardly as he took it back.

"Alright, let's go," Alex said to Connor leaving Kara behind.

Kara leaned on a pole as she felt the emotional turmoil of being reminded of Lex.

That night, Alex heard a noise coming from the barn. Going inside, she took her hunting rifle and loaded it. "Fucking wolves," she muttered. She went around the corner expecting to find a wolf but instead finding Connor staring at the chickens. Alex immediately lowered her rifle and walked up to him.

"What the hell are you doing here?" Alex asked him.

Connor made no reply. "It's ten-thirty at night," Alex scolded. "Are you alright, Connor?" she asked changing her tone.

Connor slowly turned around. "I think so," he said in a creepy voice.

"Come on, let's get inside," Alex said gently.

Connor then followed her back inside the house.

The next morning, Alex and Kelly noticed all the chickens had been brutally torn apart with the locked door busted open. "The wolf is back," Kelly assumed.

"This isn't a wolf. This isn't an animal. I think...this might be Connor," Alex said concernedly. "He was out here last night just staring at them. The chickens were just going crazy."

"It sounds like you're projecting your insecurities on Connor," Kelly said.

"A wolf can't do this," Alex countered. "It can't rip a door open and break a lock."

"So, we'll talk with him," Kelly shrugged.

"He needs an ass whipping," Alex suggested.

"Violence is not the answer, Alex," Kelly lectured.

"Did it work on James?" Alex asked.

"James may be successful in his career due to some extraordinary circumstances, but he's still fucked up. He whores around the clubs, he became a super-hero just to kick ass, and nearly gets himself killed every other month," Kelly said.

"Okay, we do it your way," Alex relented.

"Come to bed," Kelly said leaving the barn.

Later that day, Connor participated in a school activity. All the kids were huddled with the student in the middle falling and being caught by the other students. "This is a team-building exercise. You have to learn to trust one another," the gym teacher said to them all. "Lean back and depend on your classmates."

"Very good, guys. When we trust each other, good things happen. Alright, Connor, it's your turn," the gym teacher said.

Connor got in the middle of the crowd of students. "Nothing to worry about. Your fellow classmates have your back," the gym teacher assured him.

Connor leaned back and was pushed around by the fellow students to keep him upright. Caitlyn didn't want to touch him and let him fall on the hard pavement. "You okay, bud?" the gym teacher asked concernedly. "Damn girl, give him a hand up," the gym teacher ordered Caitlyn.

She shook her head not wanting to. "Hold up, we're all on the same team," the gym teacher said to her.

"He's a pervert," Caitlyn refused.

"Help him up or you fail this class," the gym teacher threatened.

Caitlyn reluctantly gave her hand out to him. Connor took her hand and then started squeezing tightly. "What are you doing?" she cried out.

"Connor, stop!" the gym teacher shouted.

Connor ignored him and crushed Caitlyn's hand while also shattering her wrist. Caitlyn screamed in pain as her hand was folded back.

Connor sat in the principal's office as Kelly came to get him. Caitlyn's mother, Erica, was also present. "He said he was sorry. It was an accident," Kelly said to her.

"Did you see my daughter's hand? He's a God damn animal is what he is," Erica rejected.

"Let's just calm down," Kelly said condescendingly.

"I want him in handcuffs and taken away," Erica demanded to the sheriff deputy present.

"We are taking action. Connor will be suspended for two days," the principal said lamely.

"Suspended? Do your job," Erica demanded of the sheriff deputy.

"Well, technically, your daughter let him fall onto the pavement and this school is liable for everything that happened during that gym period. So, we can either settle this here and now or it's going to be a total shit storm in the courts," the sheriff deputy said.

"After he comes back from school, he will have regular sessions with the school counselor after school," the principal assured her.

"The school counselor is his damn legal guardian," Erica said not satisfied. "Does anyone see the conflict of interest?"

"I prefer being called his mother," Kelly said offended.

"Not everyone agrees a kid can have two mothers," Erica shot back.

"Oh, no, you didn't," Kelly wagged her finger at her.

The room erupted in argument as Connor sat with his head down. Kelly finally went to get Connor. "Sorry about your daughter," Kelly said to Erica and then went to Connor. "Let's go. We can talk about this once we get home."

"Okay," Connor said relieved he wasn't being shouted at.

That night at the house, Alex and Kelly had a frank conversation about Connor. "Breaking a girl's hand. If I did that and I was a boy, my father would have whipped my ass," Alex said.

"Well, I didn't have a father around to whip my ass," Kelly shot back.

"Oh, I'm sorry. I didn't mean it like that," Alex said apologetically and gave her a hug.

"This isn't something we can ass whip away. He needs guidance," Kelly told her.

"He's Kryptonian. I've seen what they can do. My own sister is one of them, and I have seen her kill so many people in so many brutal ways. She was not much older than him when she made her first kill in Midvale," Alex said.

"All of those kills were justified," Kelly reminded her.

"He can't bleed, he never gets sick, and now he's hurting people," Alex said stressed out.

Meanwhile, Connor was outside the house with red glowing eyes. In a sudden burst, he fired heat vision into the forest blasting several trees to cinders. Impressed with his abilities, he took off.

Flashback In The Future

Paris, European Union

Kon grinned as he looked up at the Eiffel Tower with the sharpest sword ever made on his back. He had stolen it from Brainiac 5's armory using some high-tech hacking on the vault door. He was now ready to make his statement. At four years old and appearing to be twelve, Kon took out the sword from its sheath. It was night with no one on the tower. Kon took a deep breath and then shot towards the tower. With his sword, he sliced every steel bar in the tower and then moved up to the higher levels. With superhuman speed, he sliced up the entire tower and then dropped back down to the ground. The tower held together for a few seconds but once Kon clinked his sword back into its sheath, the tower came down completely as a twisted pile of metal.

"Sweet," Kon smiled.

The next morning, Kara and Brainiac 5 walked down the halls of the Palace of Versailles that had been converted into one of Kara's many royal palaces. Instead of paintings long destroyed and forgotten of French Monarchs, the portraits were of Kara and only Kara in various costumes. The statues long destroyed over the thousand years were also replaced with statues of just Kara.

"He did what now?" Kara asked genuinely surprised.

"He destroyed the Eiffel Tower with my sword," Brainiac 5 repeated.

"How the fuck did he managed to get it out of the vault?" Kara asked displeased.

"He must have found a way to get passed my security system," Brainiac 5 admitted.

"Or maybe you let him in," Kara accused.

"Have I lost your faith and confidence?" Brainiac 5 threatened.

"No," Kara backed down.

"The design specs for the tower are not complicated. The cost to rebuild it will be...," Brainiac 5 said.

"Just have it fixed," Kara interrupted.

"Some Parisians consider it a hideous blot. Perhaps, it should be replaced," Brainiac 5 suggested.

"No, fuck that. If any wonder is to be destroyed, it will be by my hand," Kara said. "Where is Kon now?"

"With his father," Brainiac 5 replied. "They're in the Alps now."

Kara went outside the palace in her dark blue dress that had a red S symbol on her chest. Looking up, she shot into the sky and went straight for them.

Mon and Kon took a break after a good sparring match. Their clothes were torn up from the intense fight in the mountains. Kara slammed down into the ground and walked up to them. "You were supposed to discipline him, not train him," Kara said scornfully to Mon.

"What's the difference?" Mon asked.

"You Insane enjoy it. It's not punishment," Kara said obviously.

Kara advanced on Kon. "Fight me," she said to Kon.

"Okay," Kon grinned and shot towards her with punch and kick combinations. Kara didn't bother to dodge or defend herself. Frustrated, Kon took out the super-sharp sword and attacked again. Kara shattered the sword and punched him hard to the gut. She picked him up by the throat off the ground.

"Understand this: What I do not give to you, you do not take by force," she said to him.

Kon nodded fearfully. "This is my world," Kara told him. "And everything in it no matter how small belongs to me," Kara said and then threw Kon to the ground.

Kara then fired heat vision at a nearby mountain blasting its summit off in a huge explosion of rock, snow, and ash. Kara then turned back to Kon. "Do we understand each other?" she asked him.

Kon nodded fearfully. Kara went back to Mon who merely rolled his eyes at her. "He will grow stronger. Maybe even surpass us one day."

"Hopefully, he will be a man by then. A child should never be able to over-power his parents," Kara told him.

"Amen," Mon agreed.

Present Day

Connor stared at the injured Caitlyn as she cowered in her bed. "Don't scream," Connor ordered.

"What are you doing here?" she asked fearfully.

"I brought you flowers," Connor said showing her a few white lilies.

"You can't be here," Caitlyn told him.

"Don't be scared. I want to talk to you. You see, I'm very special. You're one of the few people in the world that knows how special I am. But someday, you all will know. Someday, I'll give you a special child," Connor said.

"Creepy as fuck," Caitlyn stared at him with tears in her eyes.

"What's the problem?" Connor asked her.

"My mom told me not to talk to you," Caitlyn deflected.

"I'm going to take care of that," Connor said ominously and then took off through the window.

Erica was minding her own business at the diner she worked at. She emptied the register and cleaned the tables. She then realized the windows were covered in swastika-looking symbols. "What the fuck?" she wondered. A window suddenly exploded inward casting glass into her right eye. Erica cried out as she was hit and then pulled the shard out of her eye. With her eye bleeding and her overall vision impaired, Erica tried to make out a small figure inside the diner wearing a mask.

Going around the counter, Erica got out a baseball bat and then swung it widely while screaming at the intruder. Connor moved around the diner at superhuman speed freaking her out. Erica then dropped the bat and retreated to the freezer locking the door behind her.

Connor blasted the door with heat vision slowly cutting through it from top-to-bottom. Once he was done, he forced the two halves of the door away. Erica screamed in terror and covered her bloody eye to get a good luck at her assailant. It was a teenage boy wearing a red mask with glowing red eyes. Connor then sped towards her slamming her head against the wall killing her instantly.

Author's Notes: Dominators were such a joke having no personality and the CGI was embarrassing. CW Kara even makes a quip that Dominators were so last season. And honestly, their complaint has validity to it. If you have Barry messing up the timeline whenever he wants that affects them. The time they spent working to create a non-lethal way to deal with the Dominators amused me.

They need to permanently fire the focus group that thought it was a good idea to have Kara date William. A much better show that also had casting issues was Earth:Final Conflict where main characters struggled to stick around. I did a couple of bonus episodes on the Adventures of Lois and Clark pilot in Season 5 but the context is quite different, to say the least.
