"I'm sorry! I'm sorry! I'm sorry!"
"Okay, I get it!"
Huh? Kell looked up. He was back in his room, on his knees, clinging to someone. It was Lightning Lad.
"I just wanted to see if you wanted to open your gifts. But, whatever." Garth freed himself of Kell's grasp and started to leave the room. "Oh, and Merry Christmas by the way."
"Wait." He said to himself. "Merry Christmas?"
Outside Legion HQ, a boy was walking his dog in the snow, when he got the shock of his life when Kell just stuck his head out of the wall.
"You there, boy!"
"GAH!" The boy jumped into the snow.
"What day is it?" Kell called.
"I-it's Christmas Day." The boy said, his voice shaking.
"Then I haven't missed it!" Kell said in happiness. "I can fix everything!" And went back into HQ, the hole vacant.
"O… kay." The boy said.
…
"Did you wake up Kell?"
Everyone was in the lounge, near the tree and hoping to rip open their presents like rabid dogs.
"Yeah." Garth said, but I don't think he's-"
Kell ran through the wall with his arms spread out wide.
"FELIZ NAVIDAD!"
"Okay scratch that." Garth corrected. Before Kell gathered everyone in a spine-crushing group hug.
"Merry Christmas my wonderful, loving friends! Happy Holidays and Happy Canukkah."
"It's Chanukah." Gim corrected.
"Organs. Starting to. Expl-" Brainy choked out. Kell suddenly yelped and let everyone go, giving them the gift of air.
"I'm sorry Brainy! Are you okay? Is your spine intact?" Brainy just gave him an odd look. Imra felt his forehead.
"He doesn't have a fever." Imra said.
"Should I get the thermometer?" Garth asked.
"You two!" Kell laughed, and then gave them ANOTHER bone shattering hug.
"It's that kind of compassion that's gonna make you two such wonderful parents!"
"W-what?" Imra asked, choking.
"You and Garth and the kids Graym and Garridan and Dacey and sweet little Doritt."
"We're gonna get married?" Garth said with stars lighting up his eyes as he looked at Imra.
"My kids?!" Imra screamed.
"I ain't having no floozy in my family." Ayla waved her finger. "Uh-uh."
"Word." The other kids agreed.
"And Ayla! Sweet loving little Ayla!" Before she knew it, the little girl was in his grasp. "I hope you and Vi will always be happy together!"
"Santa?" Ayla said. "Can I, get a new lung for Christmas?"
"What'd he say about me?" Vi asked.
"Vi! Don't ever change."
Vi shrieked, and shrunk into the Christmas tree. Everyone stared in horror at Kell's newfound Christmas cheer.
"What the hell is he on?" Inferno asked.
"I don't know, but where can I get some?" Gazelle asked.
"Shh! He can hear you." Polar Boy whispered.
"Now, I'm sorry that I didn't do any shopping, and it was too late to really buy anything."
"Kell, you didn't have to-"
"So I bought you office supplies!"
Suddenly, he began tossing around paperclips, coffee mugs, pens. Tellus held out his hands, or flippers, or whatever, in confused expectation.
"Have a photo copier!"
And poor Ganglios get sent through the floor.
"Tellus! Are you still alive?" Chuck called into the hole.
"Yes. I'm still alive." Tellus thought out.
"Looking good people." Chuck gave a thumbs-up.
"Now, Brin…" Brin backed up in fear of a Christmas hug. "I can't stay for dinner, but I'd be happy to help out."
"HUH?" This earned a group Huh. Brin eyed him suspiciously.
"Are you serious?"
"Does Santa have rein-"
"You can help if you don't finish that sentence." Brin told him.
"Kay! Come on Furball!"
"Hey!" Tinya yelled, mad that he used her nickname without permission.
And Kell dragged Brin into the kitchen at light speed. Leaving everyone else alone.
"Can someone tell me what just happened?" Dream Girl asked.
"Looks like Kell got bit by the Christmas bug." Garth said.
"Yeah. In the butt." Ayla muttered.
…
The Kent Farmhouse.
DING-DONG.
"I'll get it!" Clark called. "Kara no more eggnog." He said to his cousin in the other room.
"Yes, can I-?" Clark stopped mid-sentence when he saw who it was.
"You mentioned something about dinner?"
There was Kell. On the porch. Wearing the gift Clark gave him. A set of clothes like the one Clark usually wore when he wasn't Superman.
"Of, of course!" Clark said in surprise. "Come on in!"
"God bless every one of us all!" Kell said.
"Almost got it." Clark said.
…
"You see guys?" Superboy asked. "We did the trick after all."
"Yeah, the guy may be a bonehead, but he's getting there." Conner said.
"Doesn't that just make you feel good?" Superboy asked.
"Go f*uk yourself." Prime said before he disappeared.
…
"I hope you all enjoyed that. But, if you'll excuse me, my husband's waiting. Christmas dinner you know. Happy Holidays."
GOD BLESS US, EVERY ONE
