While the second battle of Smallville was being figured out, Kon went back to Africa to help Elisa with her relief effort. While Elisa sparingly used her powers, Kon would use them liberally to kill scores of military convoys, break open dams to irrigate farms, blast deep holes in the ground to create new mines, and use his super-speed to rapidly build houses for locals. In short order, Kon was becoming the white savior of Africa.
Elisa eyed a large hill of dead bodies and then another large hill of weapons and scrap metal. "Okay, I see it," Elisa acknowledged.
Kon then fired on both hills incinerating them both. "What do you think of that?" Kon asked, proud of himself.
"I think you're doing this all to get in my pants," Elisa sensed.
"And you're not wrong," Kon confirmed.
"What about Sara?" Elisa asked.
"She's not in the mood with her parents both turned into metahumans and possessed by a Kryptonian artificial intelligence," Kon said.
"Understandable," Elisa nodded.
"Besides, you're a far greater challenge," Kon complimented.
"Seeing as how I'm gay, I should be," Elisa rolled her eyes.
"Exactly," Kon smirked.
"Is Mara around?" Elisa asked curiously.
"She's with Barney on her own thing," Kon said vaguely.
In an area not too far off, Mara and Brainiac 5 eyed a mosque being used by terrorists. They both wore casual clothes and stood a distance away. It was filled with explosives and weapons. Mara scanned the mosque and noticed no one was inside at the moment. "An attack on a religious site is a violation of the Geneva Convention," Brainiac 5 reminded her.
"The Geneva Convention doesn't apply in the 31st century or to me," Mara replied. She then fired a beam at the mosque completely destroying it. The ammunition and explosives tore into the nearby neighborhood.
"No fatalities," Brainiac 5 detected.
"Good. Now, help them rebuild it...as a church," Mara requested.
"Of course," Brainiac 5 replied. "Elisa is close by. Shall we meet them?"
Mara sighed. "Perhaps Kon will succeed where I have failed."
"A broken clock is correct twice a day," Brainiac 5 reminded her.
Mara chuckled at that. "Well, okay then. Find me another mosque I may convert."
Elisa and Kon noticed a powerful explosion nearby. "It's just Mara," Kon said unconcernedly.
"Oh, alright," Elisa said spooked.
"So, you better start paying up," Kon told her.
Elisa rolled her eyes. "Alright, here you go," she said giving Kon a reluctant kiss.
"Bitch, I just saved thousands of lives. The deal was a kiss for each life," Kon said dissatisfied.
"By killing hundreds," Elisa pointed out incredulously.
Kon gave her a stubborn look. "Alright, I'm not going to spend all day kissing you counting them in my head. How about sex? Does that make up for a thousand kisses?" Elisa suggested.
Kon worked the math in his head. "I suppose," he allowed.
"It's going to come with conditions. Neither of us is going to take our clothes off and you better finish within ten minutes," Elisa told him.
"You'll never turn straight under those terms," Kon doubted.
Elisa shook her head dismayed. "You have a counter-proposal?"
"Yes, you allow me foreplay but you wear a blindfold. That way you can think about my sister while I feel you up," Kon suggested.
"That's kind of fucked up. Agreed," Elisa shook his hand.
For the rest of the day, Kon enthusiastically worked to make the lives of African villagers better while Mara focused entirely on Christian reconstruction projects in the area.
Oa
In deep space, Allen-the-alien, arrived on Oa to give his report on Earth. He came before the guardians on a tall tower. "What news do you bring of Earth?" the lead guardian asked.
"I bring great news of a positive nature. On Earth, there is a mixed family of Kryptonian and Jin-Saiyan. The mother is Kryptonian while the father is Jin-Saiyan. They have three hybrid children, of which two are nearly full-grown. However, instead of conquering the planet, they are merely its defender. Their power exceeds the Green Lantern Corp., itself," Allen told them.
"This news brings with it many questions. Questions that may turn the tide of the war in our favor. If one Insane has abandoned conquest, perhaps others will follow. If Insane offspring have no loyalty to the Insane crusade, we must discover if there are more. If this is the case, we must exploit this weakness," the lead elder said. "What say you?" he asked of the others.
"The Insane have been dwindled down to a handful since the destruction of their world by Darkseid. We do not know their leadership or goals," one elder said.
"That is an excellent point. We do not know the inner workings of the Insane mind. We must attempt to sway this family to our cause. They could be valuable allies," the lead elder said.
"The one named Kon-El is sympathetic to Earth and sees the planet as his domain," Allen spoke up.
"You have done well, Allen-the-alien, you have given us much to converse with," the leader elder said pleased. "We will call on you when you're needed."
"Happy to serve," Allen replied and then flew off.
The elders frowned as they stared at each other. "It's the family of Kara Zor-El, isn't it?" one of them remarked.
"Now, there are five of them?" another said fearfully.
"We are so fucked," the lead elder realized.
Africa
That night, Elisa and Kon slept in a nearby hotel. She got on top of him with both of them still clothed. "You ready for this? Like really ready? You better not be teasing me," Kon said to her.
"Well, now that you mention it. I'm not ready for it now," Elisa said.
"You're not?" Kon asked disappointedly.
"But I will after I turn off the lights," Elisa said as she aimed her ring at her pink battery turning it off. Now, the room was nearly completely dark. While Elisa's human eyes were in darkness, Kon could still see with his night-vision eyes.
"God, I feel like such a prostitute," Elisa said as she lowered her pants a bit.
"In a way, you kind of are. But it's for a good cause," Kon told her.
"Just be silent. I don't want to hear your deeper male voice," Elisa shut him down.
In the darkness, Elisa thought of anyone other than Kon and brought their love-making to a quick conclusion.
Oa
Allen-the-alien arrived at an orbiting space station over Oa and got himself some grub. The station was suddenly hit by a beam of light that tore a hole right through it. Immediately, the Green Lanterns were on alert as the entire station was rattled. A man with a bald head entered the station and forced Allen out into space. He wore a black gi, white boots, chest armor, and shoulder pads indicating he was an Insane warrior.
The Insane named Twi punched Allen to the back stunning him. A second Insane warrior named Sunn grabbed Allen by the throat while a third named Thur looked on. Sunn had black hair with an extreme widow's peak and Thur had wavy white hair.
"You will tell me everything you know about your encounter with the Insane on Earth?" Sunn ordered.
"There are literally millions of them on Earth. You want to know about each one?" Allen asked in mocking word-play.
"Ah, a smartass. Is Prince Mon on Earth? Did he sire an Insane heir? You are certain he abandoned Insane conquest?" Sunn demanded.
"Obviously, you have heard my whole story. It's true. Bad news for you, good news for us," Allen stared him down.
"Confirm you were even on Earth at all. What do the inhabitants look like?" Sunn questioned.
"You know, two eyes. You biclops all look the same to me," he mocked.
Sunn and Thur took turns punching Allen to the face and gut for his disrespect. Sunn punched Allen so hard his one eye popped out. Thur broke his back over his knee, Sunn punched through his gut and out the other side. Sunn then took hold of Allen's right arm and sliced it off with his knife-hand. The three Insane retreated away as Allen's body floated in space a bloody mess.
Africa
Kon slept in while Elisa was in deep contemplation. It's not that Kon's body wasn't useful but she simply found him not romantic material. However, last night was not nearly as bad as thought it would be. For thousands of years, females had manipulated males into doing their bidding with sex being the object. How was this any different? "Hey, wake up," she said finally.
"I was thinking I would stay the night with you if you don't mind," Kon said groggily.
"It's already morning. You better go before anyone spots you," Elisa said.
"Okay, let me just get my clothes on," Kon said only to find himself already clothed. "So...did we do it?" he asked.
"Yes, Kon. It was perfect," Elisa rolled her eyes.
Kon could barely recall it. "This is bullshit, you know. You can't talk about my performance when you handicap me like this. I have a set of skills, skills I've mastered over countless hours of VR."
"This isn't about me or what I want. This is about getting you off so you continue to save lives here," Elisa rebuked.
"My Insane pride won't allow me to just settle for that. I require that I overwhelm you to the point where you cannot form coherent thoughts and see stars," Kon said to her.
"Not this girl," Elisa told him off.
Smallville
The Super-Insane family came to eat breakfast together. "After all the destruction in Smallville, I'm thinking to own some real estate firms," Kara said conversationally.
"Now that the threat has been defeated, can we leave this shit-town?" Mon asked rudely.
"Morgan Edge and his secretary are still out there," Kara reminded him. "He may try to use Smallville residents again."
"I totally scored with Elisa," Kon said impressed with himself.
"Nice," Mon said giving him a high-five.
"What the fuck did I just hear?" Kara asked dismayed. Mara also gave Kon a disappointed look.
"What's the big deal?" Kon asked. "It's not like I can get her pregnant or infected with AIDS."
"You barely know this girl," Kara pointed out.
"I was all over Africa with her. How many flying hours do I need before I get my license?" Kon asked mockingly.
"You can't trust a Violet Lantern. They're all crazy as fuck," Kara told him.
"That's just being colorist," Kon shot back.
"With the exception of Carol, who's Bi, virtually all Violet Lanterns are lesbians," Kara said obviously.
"That just makes this an even greater victory," Kon pointed out.
"It sure does," Mon agreed.
"It only lasted for five minutes," Mara revealed.
"Fucking spy!" Kon spat.
"And you didn't stop him?" Kara scolded her.
"I...," Mara tried to articulate her mission. "I'm in the process of saving her from her debauchery. I saw Kon as a useful tool."
"You hear that? I'm a useful tool," Kon pointed out.
"Mara, there are eight billion people on this planet. You don't need to save this one. At some point, it's a number's game," Kara told her. "Trying to turn someone gay to straight is like trying to make someone no longer an alcoholic. As a subject matter expert on someone who is both, I know how it is. As soon as you think you got them married to a man with kids, they suddenly explode with a series of lesbian orgy one-night stands and end up ruining their lives."
"You see Alex married to Kelly as the lesser of two evils. I don't subscribe to your defeatist attitude," Mara said boldly.
"And you don't realize how worse it can get when you meddle," Kara argued back.
Mon and Kon eyed each other as Kara and Mara were about to tear into each other. "So, back to Kon's great victory," Mon broke the tension.
"Yes, Kon, tell us all about it. As your mother, I want to know every specific detail," Kara demanded.
"It was dark, really slow, and I think I fell asleep halfway through it," Kon recalled.
"Still counts," Mon allowed.
"Do you have serious feelings for this girl? Does she make you nervous, does she get you all shook up?" Kara asked.
"Not really," Kon said flatly.
"Your father and I have different experiences when it came to our first loves. Mon doesn't even remember her name or what species she was. Probably for the best. Mine...was really special to me. And when he was gone, I was never the same. None of us is invincible. We're not machines. We can still bleed inside," Kara said.
Kon and Mara simply stared at Kara as she wiped away a tear. "Kon, I don't want you sleeping around with anyone on this planet. If I see it, I'll kick your ass and memory wipe the girl. But, if I don't see it, I want you to give Barney a list of them so he can keep track of them," Kara ordered.
"Yes, Ma'am," Kon replied.
While army guys drove and marched around Smallville, Kon had a chat with Elisa. "So, you ditched me in Africa. When were you going to call me?" Elisa asked annoyed.
"I had some things to work out," Kon said vaguely.
"So what about our arrangement? You tired of me yet?" Elisa asked.
"I will never settle for less than total victory," Kon told her.
"When we first met, I saw you as a total savage, the inverse of your sister. I just saw you as Mara's eccentric twin brother and that was that. However, I know now that you're capable of so much more. You're smart, funny, good-looking for a guy, and powerful," Elisa said.
"You trying to fix me? Tall order," Kon scoffed.
"After I broke up with my last girlfriend, I was devastated. So, when Mara seemed interested in my soul in a very prescriptive way, I thought it would be nice to have some attention even if it came from an unusual source," Elisa admitted.
"You know that Mara will never stop until she has her total victory," Kon warned.
Elisa smiled amused. "Well, sorry for rambling. I just wanted to know how I feel. You've been a great friend to me and I cherish that."
"Fuck me, I'm in the friendzone," Kon realized.
"You will always be in the friendzone with me," Elisa smiled. "But that doesn't mean you can't get weird with your friends every so often."
"Fair enough," Kon allowed.
"So, you do have feelings for me?" Elisa quizzed.
"I feel slightly more than you feel for me," Kon said delicately.
"You doing this to feel sorry for me, like I'm a charity case to save me?" Elisa questioned.
"Nope," Kon said honestly.
"Good. Let's go on some dates together," Elisa suggested.
"Absolutely," Kon agreed enthusiastically.
"Bring your sister with you," Elisa added.
Deep Space
On an Insane warship that looked like a tri-spinner, several Insane warriors looked over the data that they received from Allen's ring on the bridge of their ship. "Prince Mon-El has reached Super Insane," Sunn mused.
"What of his heir?" Thur asked.
"It appears he has three hybrid heirs, two teenagers, and an infant. The teenagers have not transformed yet," Sunn replied.
"And his wife?" Frigga asked, the lone female Insane among them.
"An Insane-human hybrid would be pitiful," Twi scoffed.
"No, they're Kryptonian-Insane hybrids," Sunn said concernedly. "His wife is the Kryptonian that defeated Queen Rhea and our fleet."
"Revenge!" Thur shouted. They all shouted "Revenge" after him.
"If the Kryptonian woman can defeat Queen Rhea, then perhaps we should reconsider our conquest of Earth," Frigga said.
An Insane warrior on a throne named Saet had remained silent the entire time. "Queen Rhea's power is nothing compared to what we have all achieved. Her power was a false one, the false gold-haired transformation. Yet, we do not know the full extent of Kara Zor-El's power. We will not underestimate her as Rhea did. We shall wait," Saet ordered.
Smallville
Kon, Mara, and Elisa went out bowling. While Kon and Mara scored perfect 300s, Elisa was merely human. "One-thirty, I mean, it's so rare for me to crack the one hundreds. I rock," Elisa smiled goofily.
Mara gave her a strained look while Kon humored her. "I really needed this. Thank you," he said to Elisa.
"Well, I'm pretty much always available now," Elisa said to them both.
"Your intentions are obvious," Mara eyed her.
"Better to have them out there than not," Elisa gave her a false smile.
"I'm done with this fraud," Mara said and took off leaving them alone.
"Sorry about her," Kon excused.
"It's okay. I may have been too friendly with her tonight," Elisa admitted.
"You did touch her balls," Kon pointed out.
Elisa shook her head dismayed at him. "Shall we take a walk?"
"Sure," Kon agreed.
Meanwhile, Gen. Lane came by the house and couldn't help but notice Kara's baby wearing a protective forcefield around her as she crawled about. "What's on your so-called mind, general?" Kara asked condescendingly.
"I know about Kameron's powers," Gen. Lane said accusingly.
Kara eyed Kameron crawling around occasionally using her powers inside the protective force field. "Well...no shit."
"You should have told me the moment you knew she had powers. The fact that you didn't mean you have a fundamental lack of trust in the DOD," Gen. Lane scolded.
"General, I don't trust you for shit," Kara rolled her eyes. "You're fucking high if you think you can take her away to be trained as a weapon."
"You know how dangerous someone like that can be at that age," Gen Lane lectured.
"She's not even one yet," Kara rolled her eyes.
"Beyond that, I'm a little pissed off. The DOD has invested a lot of money to keep this country safe and all of it could be destroyed by a rogue hybrid," Gen. Lane said concernedly.
"Well, I think the work we put into keeping this world safe more than compensates for keeping you out of the loop every so often," Kara told him off.
"We'll be watching," Gen. Lane said getting up and leaving the house.
Kara eyed her daughter testing the power of the forcefield with all of her strength before passing out. "Yeah, this could be an issue," she admitted.
Metropolis
The next morning at the DEO fortress, Kon went through a vigorous training exercise. He was fighting a dozen clones of Mon while being hit with bright lights from all sides. Every so often, Kon would score a fatal hit on a clone bursting them into smoke. The real Mon and Brainiac 5 watched Kon's training from afar. Each clone only had a fraction of Mon's power level but Kon was also not at full power either. Kon punched and kicked at a furious pace against the clones as they had him surrounded.
"You're not much use to me after all," Mon taunted hoping to encourage his son.
"What? How many people do I have to kill to be worthy?" Kon asked incredulously.
"Humans? Don't make me laugh," Mon said dismissively.
"I don't know if you've noticed, but I've been kicking ass on your clones. As you know, I've been working out," Kon shot back as he punched a clone through his head bursting it.
"This could take all day," Brainiac 5 said as he analyzed Kon's power readings.
Kon defeated the last clone as it turned to smoke. "So, is that it? You really didn't plan this out, did you? Do you really think I would give up?" Mon casually put his knife hand to eye-level and creating a few hundred clones in the room.
"Why don't you give up?" Mon said to him.
As the fight continued, Mon pointed his hand at Kon and waited for an opening. When it revealed itself, Mon fired blasting Kon to the floor. Kon was quickly overwhelmed by the Mon clones and dragged to the floor where he was given a good beating. Kon suddenly blasted the clones off him and went through the ceiling. In the air, Kon took a second to get his bearings only to be backhanded to the ground where he demolished some schmuck's car.
Mon appeared in the air over Kon. "I would fly if I were you," he warned him.
"Crap," Kon realized and immediately flew off around the world.
As Kon flew away from Metropolis, past forests, plains, farms, the Rocky Mountains, and finally the southwest desert, Mon used his instant transmission to find him each time. At the final stop, Kon ambushed Mon throwing him into a rock formation imprinting his body into rock. Kon quickly went Super Insane and fired off rings around Mon's boots and wrists. To add a final insult, Kon fired off a ring around Mon's throat.
"You think this will hold me?" Mon scoffed.
Kon leaped off the ground and cocked his fist back for his most powerful punch. Mon suddenly went Super Insane as well, tore large boulders of rock off each hand, and slammed them against Kon. Each boulder broke apart on impact stunning Kon. Mon went for the attack punching Kon several times to the gut and chin before tossing him into a rock formation. Kon slammed through the rock formation and into a dark cave.
"Emak, Emak, Ah!" Mon shouted as he fired a beam straight for the cave.
A pink beam suddenly deflected Mon's beam in another direction. "What the?" Mon wondered. A rain of pink beams hit Mon all at once creating a dust storm around him. Mon's aura blasted the dust away as he looked for his attacker.
"No more," Elisa said as she created a giant cat construct that meant business.
Mon casually fired on the cat shattering the construct and sending Elisa to the ground stunned. Mon then lazily pointed his hand at her and fired on her. Elisa formed a pink shield that easily shattered as it was hit. Frustrated, Elisa fired an intense pink beam straight at Mon. He returned fire with both beams hitting in the middle. The two went back and forth in the beam war until Mon dissipated his beam and went over to her.
"Power from a ring?" he scoffed. "Just as pathetic as power from the sun."
"I won't let you hurt your own son," Elisa stared him down.
"Kon? He's fine," Mon said dismissively.
The cave suddenly exploded as Kon emerged from the dust. He looked over at Elisa with some surprise. "What are you doing here?" he asked her.
"Saving your ass," Elisa said obviously.
Kon wiped away the blood from his lips. He also had a black eye and bruises all over his body. "This is just Insane training," he said as they both powered down.
"Her loyalty is commendable even if it was foolish," Mon complimented.
Elisa gave Mon a flustered look not understanding why she had gone to such lengths to defend Kon. Was she really trying to save him from certain death or was it also to impress his father? "I have to go," she said flying off.
Mon cocked an eyebrow at Kon. "She could be a suitable second wife," he suggested.
"Let's not get too crazy," Kon said thinking third or fourth would be more appropriate.
Elisa went back to her apartment and took off her ring. "Warning, ring at one percent," the ring said to her.
"How is that possible?" Elisa said spooked. There was no way she could have battled Mon-El with a ring nearly dead. She placed the ring in the lantern and felt flustered by her feelings for Kon.
Smallville
While Mon and Kon continued to fight in the desert, Mara went to see her mother on a sensitive issue. "How did it feel to carry Kameron?" she asked.
"I was horny as fuck for your father for one," Kara admitted. "I couldn't keep my hands off him. I mean, our sex life is great as it is but this was nine months of feeling like I was in heat. It must have something to do with carrying an Insane baby. I can't imagine what it must have felt for Insane women to endure. In a lot of the cases, the men would knock their women up and then leave for a deployment. Now, that's fucked up."
"It sounds like it helps with parental bonding," Mara remarked.
"It sure was. Sometimes, I feel a desire to get pregnant again just to get that feeling back," Kara said reflectively. "Maybe it was a mistake to have had you and Kon in pods. I really missed out."
"Did you have an attraction to all males or just father?" Mara asked.
"Now that I think about it, it was just your father because I didn't give a fuck about William," Kara recalled. "Why do you ask?"
"I feel I may be going into heat now," Mara admitted.
Kara simply stared at her realizing there were some cons to having Insane offspring. "Well...shit," she realized.
Metropolis
Elisa went home to visit her parents in the suburbs. "So, that's it? He won't even talk to me?" Elisa asked outraged.
"I'm sorry, dear. He's just mad over your note. It was a bit inconsiderate," her mother explained.
"The part about the terrorists, warlords, disease, natural disasters, or the part where I saved countless lives from starvation?" Elisa asked.
"It was the part about the boy, dear. When you came out as gay, we were both so relieved. We saw you going to college, getting a career, and being a feminist superhero without the drama of pregnancy, STDs, domestic violence, or a loser man-child dragging you down," her mother said.
"Oh my God, it's not like that. He's just a friend," Elisa said defensively.
"Can't you find a beautiful woman that doesn't look like a man?" her mother asked her.
Smallville
Kon was hanging out looking at the stars on the roof of his house when Elisa dropped in. She quickly turned off her Violet Lantern costume as she landed. "I'm sorry I interrupted your father-son bonding," she said.
"It was cute in a way. I'm glad you didn't get killed in the crossfire," Kon replied.
"You seem bitter," Elisa sensed.
"No matter how much I train, father is so much stronger than I. I haven't even reached Super Insane level two. But even if I did, I would still be 40 times weaker than my father when he's at Super Insane 4," Kon revealed.
Elisa simply stared at him. After everything she had seen of Kon, she couldn't imagine someone else being that much more powerful. It was beyond comprehension. "Want me to kiss it and make it feel better?" she blurted out.
Kon gave her an odd look thinking she was merely teasing him but let her kiss him anyway. "That actually felt real this time," Kon sensed.
"I'm not sure what's gotten over me. For some reason, I feel this connection to you. It's not how I feel about any other man. I still find you repulsive but there's also something drawing me to you. I feel torn apart," Elisa admitted.
"Hey, just because you like one guy and only one guy doesn't make you straight," Kon joked.
Elisa smiled at that. "Or even Bi. I can't explain it."
"Nothing to explain. Just go with the flow," Kon advised.
"Alright. I should go. I mean, everyone in your family has super-hearing and they can overhear us," Elisa said embarrassedly.
"Maybe we should go somewhere where they can't," Kon suggested.
"Alright," Elisa smiled and flew off.
The next day at school, Kon was in the gym scoring non-stop three-pointers when confronted by the principal. "Young man, you've missed a month of school and the semester isn't even over yet. You're in danger of failing all your classes. The only thing keeping you afloat is your perfect exam scores."
"It's because I have cancer," Kon lied.
"You have cancer and you're the greatest athlete our school has ever had?" the principal doubted. "You better have a doctor's note next time you're absent or else."
Kon rolled his eyes not taking him seriously and shot some more hoops. Mara then strolled in and went straight for the principal. "I need to take two weeks off. I have already completed all of the homework assignments and can take all of the exams now if necessary."
"Mara, you have an excellent attendance record. What could be wrong?" the principal asked shocked and dismayed.
"I'm going into heat and require a sufficient amount of time for meditation and seclusion," she said.
"Well, far be it for a man such as myself to question anything related to female reproductive matters. You go take care of business," the principal allowed.
Mt. Everest
Soon thereafter, Kon invited Elisa to Mt. Everest. They were both dressed warmly and Elisa glowed faintly as her ring created an air bubble around her. The two made a fire for themselves and started cooking smores. "Wow, just wow, none of my girlfriends ever thought to take me on a date to Mount Everest. This is totally cool, very romantic. You're getting major points for this, Kon-El," Elisa complimented.
"I just figured bringing down frozen bodies from the summit for a proper burial during a date is metal as fuck," Kon smiled.
"It is," Elisa confirmed.
"The one on Mars is three times higher. That was a bitch to climb," Kon recalled.
"So, how is Mara?" Elisa asked concernedly.
"Well, you know, she's going into her reproductive cycle where she wants to kill and have sex with any male that is close by. They didn't tell me where she was going but my mother and Barney are with her. It's her first time so it's a little dramatic," Kon said.
"I never thought about how aliens deal with such things. I suppose it will show her what it's like to have feelings she can't control," Elisa mused.
"When she succeeds, she's going to be even more self-righteous about herself," Kon predicted.
"Shit," Elisa realized.
"Want to find more bodies?" Kon asked.
Elisa brought her ring out in front of her. "Identify deceased human remains," she ordered it. Immediately, the ring gave her a pink hologram map of the mountain indicating their locations.
"Oh, that's cheating. I had to use X-ray vision to find them. It's a lot harder," Kon chided.
"You have your powers, and I have mine," Elisa smirked.
"Fair enough," Kon allowed.
The two took off into the air to either rescue doomed climbers or find bodies to take down.
On the way back, Elisa seemed to struggle in the air and dropped below the cloud level. Kon caught her and brought her back up. "You okay?" he asked concernedly.
"Yeah, I'm just not used to high-altitude for that long a time. I feel a little dizzy and it affects my mind's connection to my ring," she admitted.
"I can give you some air," Kon volunteered, giving her a kiss that filled Elisa's lungs with air.
"That's better," Elisa said appreciatively.
"Well, I better be off," Kon said going a faster different route.
"Wait, this isn't how you end a date," Elisa scolded. "You think that just because I'm gay, you can treat me like shit?"
"Why not? We're just friends with benefits, contractually working together as superheroes. There's nothing I can do to make you attracted to me so why bother trying?" Kon asked.
"You're not happy with me," Elisa figured.
"As a partner in crime, you're high on my list. As a romantic partner, this is going nowhere," Kon said to her. "We could go to dinner, skiing, hiking, flying, going to the moon, anything you like and it won't change that."
"Okay, forget the contract. Let's just be normal to each other in a real relationship," Elisa proposed.
"What's the point?" Kon wondered.
"What's the point of anything, Kon? You're going back to the future eventually, I'm still going to be here. Maybe, this can be an experiment for the both of us," Elisa said.
Kon gave her a skeptical look. "I mean, you're not really a man anyway. You're a fucking alien," Elisa added.
Kon considered the proposition long and hard. It was extremely unlikely Elisa would ever cheat on him with another guy. He didn't even mind it if she cheated on him with a girl. In fact, the very idea of such a thing intrigued him. It would also give him the victory over Mara in this game of theirs. "Well, okay then," he agreed.
Pacific Ocean
Mara wore all black as she settled on a small uninhabited island with caves and a mountain that had several lookouts. Brainiac 5 was with her. "Suppressing your mating desire may not be the healthiest way to handle this, Mara. I can give you the proper treatment at my lab," Brainiac 5.
"Your treatment will only make it worse," Mara said flustered. "Sexual desires begets more sexual desire."
"In the long-term, yes. However, this will soon pass. If you deny your sexual impulses, it will be converted into violent impulses," Brainiac 5 predicted.
"I can contain either," Mara said confidently. "Although, I wish you would use a different form."
"We are alone on this island. You may do as you wish with this drone," Brainiac 5 offered.
"I couldn't. You're like my uncle and spiritual adviser," Mara said.
"As such, I tell you that the sin is less if you are with a machine rather than a living being," Brainiac 5.
"I don't want any sin at all," Mara told him.
"Very well," Brainiac 5 said as he altered his hologram to make himself appear female.
Mara felt slightly more relaxed at his sex change. "Once I overcome this, no human will ever be able to argue that they cannot control themselves," she said.
"If you are successful," Brainiac 5 replied. "Your sin is not lust, Mara. It never has. Lust is merely sexual desire above and beyond your biological programming. You are slow to anger, rarely slothful. No, your sin has always been your pride, Mara. No matter what you accomplish, it was never of your own making. You only succeed by the grace of God. And any victory you may achieve is entirely His."
"You're right," Mara nodded. "I must pray on this."
"Of course," Brainiac 5 said as Mara went into a meditative trance.
Paris
Kon and Elisa stopped by in Paris wearing more seasonal clothes. "Very magical, very cliche," Elisa smiled amused.
"I know, right?" Kon agreed.
"No interruptions. Nothing to interfere with this moment," Elisa said pleased.
Suddenly, the streets were filled with gunfire as Arab terrorists fired indiscriminately into the crowd. "Well...," Kon muttered.
"Damn it. Let's get this over with," Elisa sighed.
Kon went Super Insane and Elisa powered up her Violet Lantern uniform to disguise themselves. As a terrorist went down the streets firing an AK-47 at random people, Elisa fired a pink beam blasting him inside a bakery.
Kon faced off with a terrorist of his own. The terrorist attempted to fire on Kon but his rifle jammed. "Let's make this interesting," Kon smirked. Kon and the terrorist fought hand-to-hand at the same strength level for a few seconds until Kon finally dropped him to the ground. He then noticed a terrorist getting away with a bomb briefcase. Kon raised his hand and fired on the terrorist. The beam missed the terrorist and hit the Eiffel Tower.
The explosion destabilized the tower and brought it crashing down on the Triumphant Arc nearly destroying it. "Damn it, not again," Kon realized his mistake. Kon then noticed the terrorist sneaking off to the Louver Museum. "Sneaky mother-fucker," Kon remarked and then fired at him. The beam went inside the museum creating catastrophic damage inside. The glass pyramid shattered on impact.
The Parisians looked around at the devastation completely dismayed. Kon confirmed the terrorist was dead and then greeted the crowd. "The terrorist is dead. You're all safe now," he said in English.
Elisa deactivated her ring not wanting to be associated with Kon's mayhem. Kon flew off and then came back to the restaurant in his base form. "Did you see how awesome that was?" Kon asked as fires continued to rage nearby.
"I think everyone did," Elisa said looking around.
"I know what they say about me in the papers. Do you think I'm a bad person?" Kon asked.
"It's not really whether your good or bad, but whether your sane or insane. You're definitely insane," Elisa said.
"Nice," Kon smiled. "Now, I really like you but when I see a terrorist attack, I feel the need to act."
"I completely understand," Elisa nodded.
"Do you want to get out of here and do a "world" montage?" Kon asked.
"That would be great," Elisa readily agreed with first responders flooding the area.
The two proceeded to go to Venice, the Russian Arctic, Egypt, Australia, and then space. Once they had their fun, they settled down in the clouds. "I think I love you," Elisa said surprising herself.
"Like a platonic love?" Kon asked confused.
"Like I want to have sex with you," Elisa clarified.
"Well...I love you, too," Kon smiled victoriously.
Pacific Ocean
Mara cried out in frustration as praying away her feelings was not doing the trick. "Remember your innocence," Brainiac 5 said encouragingly.
"How can you say that?" Mara raged as she clutched her hair on the ground. "I'm not innocent."
"You are not guilty of the thoughts and feelings you are experiencing," Brainiac 5 said to her.
Mara got back to her feet. "I want to go back to how I was before!" she shouted as she went Super Insane. The entire island began to shake from her power.
"I may need some assistance," Brainiac 5 radioed using his male voice.
The island suddenly exploded in a ten megaton blast that sent shockwaves for miles in all directions. When the debris had cleared, the island was completely gone. Kara and Mon were immediately on the scene.
"God damn, Barney. I thought you had this handled," Kara said dismayed at the environmental damage.
"I underestimated the task at hand. She's the most powerful Insane female I have ever encountered," Brainiac 5 said.
"I don't see a problem with this. Let her get it all out," Mon said impressed.
"Can't we just put her in a coma for two weeks?" Kara suggested.
"It's not just her mind but her body that is going through this process. We will have even less control if we lose her mind," Brainiac 5 replied.
Mara settled on the water crying and acting completely manic. "Just give her a papal dispensation that a vibrator is okay," Kara said finally.
"I can't do that. Masturbation is a sin," Brainiac 5 shut down.
"Damn it, Barney. She just annihilated an island," Kara pointed out.
"I'm not in the business of lesser of two evils. The only solutions I can provide are prayer and meditation," Brainiac 5 said.
"This is going to be a long two weeks," Kara frowned.
Smallville
While the rest of the Super-Insane family was dealing with Mara, Kon and Elisa snuck inside the house through the window. "No one is here," Kon said as he scanned the house.
"Did you plan this out?" Elisa asked suspiciously.
"Actually no. I'm surprised it's taking both my father and mother to deal with Mara," Kon said honestly.
"I don't want it to be like before. I want you to show me what you got," Elisa said as she incinerated Kon's clothes off his body.
"In that case, I'm going to take my time," Kon said as he gently sliced off Elisa's clothes with his finger. With his lips and fingers, Kon used every trick in the book to get Elisa off giving her multiple orgasms one after the other. With each one, Elisa felt more bond to him. Her sexuality was going haywire as she instinctively kissed and rubbed against him as if he were a female. Her mind went back and forth between her ideal female lover and Kon as if she had a split personality.
Kon seemed to notice this but made no effort to get her to snap out of it. "You ready for the strap-on?" he asked.
"Yes, put it in me," Elisa said barely coherent.
Kon obliged her using his own equipment and made love to her for a good hour until she could handle no more. The two then fell asleep in Kon's bed not caring if they were discovered in the morning.
