Another fun weekend, I think I'm gonna start slowing down a bit, I've been neglecting Blooming love.
…Luthor mansion
Kon is in his boxers dancing around his room jumping up and down on the bed listening to Courtesy Call extremely loud. It could be heard all around the mansions halls. He didn't even here Mercy knocking on the door. So she let herself in. He paid no attention and continued dancing on his bed. She walks in carrying a tray with two small glasses filled with red liquid. She puts the tray down turns off the stereo and picks up a small glass.
"HEY!" Kon yells out at her.
"It's time for your medicine, Kon-El." Mercy says to him holding one of them up for him.
"Oh come on." Kon says to her rolls his eyes. "Let's dance." He says as he jumps down the bed and in front of her.
"After you're medicine."
"You're no fun." He whines and gets the glass from her, he looks at her she smiles he takes a sip of the medicine and makes a disgusted face. "I hate this stuff!" he yells at her.
"It's for your own good."
"Well, whatever happened to regular pills?"
"The new power you're experiencing is a mere shadow of what's to come. The medicine strengthens you to bear the weight of it."
"Okay, well, then do me a favor. Find me something that strengthens me and doesn't taste like crap." He says to her she takes the glass.
"Are you feeling alright?" she asks him caressing his cheek.
Kon sighs. "I'm bored." He says to her and goes to lay down facing up. "And dad is somewhere having fun with the Light."
"You could go back to school." Mercy suggests.
Kon blows a raspberry. "I hate school…but I guess it would be a good distraction."
"A distraction from what? Still struggling with your decision?" she asks him and gives him the glass.
Kon sits up and takes the glass from her. "No, I mean, I love my dad you know and don't get me wrong this whole Supervillian thing is kinda fun, it's just…" he pauses taking another sip of the medicine sticking his tongue out in disgust and gives the glass back to her.
"You're brothers." She finishes his sentence.
He swallows hard. "Yeah, I don't understand why they have to be so stubborn. Why they can't just respect my decision."
"Because it's not in their nature of good to compromise. They'll never understand, they only want to change you back. The sooner you accept that and let them go, the happier you will be. Here, drink your medicine." She says giving him the medicine he drinks it all finishing it.
"When is he coming back from meeting with Ra's?" Kon asks her as she starts to walk away back to the door.
"Later tonight." She says to him and points to the other glass of medicine on the tray. "Make sure you drink that when you wake up."
After a long while he hears the door open and hears Lex's voice. He sits up on his bed and teleports down stairs in front of him.
"Dad!" Kon says happy.
Lex puts up his index finger up at Kon as he talks on the phone.
"Hello Kon-El." Cheshire says to him bows her head a little, wearing a leather jacket and jeans.
Kon turns to her. "Hey Chesh." He says to her and sees a group of Ra's al ghul's ninjas with her. "What's going on?"
"A meeting. Master will be arriving soon." Cheshire says to him.
"Ra's is coming here?" Kon asks her then turns to his father still on the phone. "You promised we'd-"
"Not now Kon-El." Lex snaps at him.
Kon looks at him then turns back to the group of ninjas using his telekinesis to pick up 3 of them up, they yell out in shock he wiggles his fingers and snaps their necks twisting them around. Dropping them down dead, Cheshire calmly backs away from him back to the door and while the others pick up the dead ninjas leave immediately out the door. Cheshire stood by the door waiting to be asked to leave.
Lex hangs up. "Cheshire, tell Mr. Ghul that I'll have to reschedule the meeting for later." Lex says to her.
"Yes sir." Cheshire says to him and bows and leaves closing the door behind her.
Lex sighs and looks at Kon. "I thought we talked about this." He says to him a little irritated.
"Sorry daddy, I got angry." Kon says sheeply.
…Mount Justice
They were in the briefing room Roy and Artemis making new arrows. Zatanna was reading one of her magical books, while Megan, Wally and Kaldur helped out reading the books that she gave them to read.
"Damn it." Wally sighs as he finishes the book.
"Just keep looking." Zatanna says to him.
"I've read 10 of them already." Wally says putting it on the floor and pick up another one.
"Yeah, I can't find anything either." Megan says putting the book down.
"We have to keep trying." Zatanna says to them.
"I told you, he made a choice. There's no magical cure for that." Roy says to them as he polishes one of his arrows.
"Yeah, well, he's on red kryptonite, Roy, so he's being influenced by it from the inside." Megan says to him a little annoyed.
"And we could've helped him overcome that but he chose Luthor." Dick says to her as he puts down on a flash bomb.
"Will you just stop with the flash bombs already? You've already over run the armory, I'd say we have enough." Zatanna says to him angry.
"This one has red solar flash plus it might burn his eyes, but we should run away afterwards I'm not sure if it'll do much damage." Dick says to them showing them a small red metal ball.
"No!" Wally and Megan yell at him.
"I will not burn Conner's eyes, he's still our little brother." Wally says to him. "You just mad because he flirted with Zatanna." Robin glares at him.
"Yeah!" Zatanna yells out. "Wait what?" she asks. "You told him?" she asks Artemis.
"No." Artemis says to her.
"Wait what are you talking about?" Robin asks her.
Zatanna looks up at Wally. "What are you talking about?"
The computer announces Aqualad and he walks in looking at them on the floor, Megan and Wally get up and walk to him.
"How are they?" Kaldur asks them.
"It's like Team light, all the personality without any of those messy emotions." Wally says to him.
"We'll see." Kaldur says to them and walks up to them. "Rumor on the streets is the new supervillain is killing Ra's al Ghul's men. Word is he killed three just last night." He says to them.
"What does that mean?" Megan asks him.
"It means it looks like Conner's working from the inside. For the good guys." Kaldur says to them.
"That's great." Wally says smiling.
"Not about the killing." Megan says to him.
"Oh of course not." Wally says to her.
"Since when do you guys believe rumors that are spread by bad guys?" Artemis asks them.
Kaldur, Megan and Wally look at each other and sigh.
…Luthor mansion
Lex Luthor was at the top of the table while Ra's al Ghul was on the other side of the table, ninjas in black, Cheshire and Psimon were in the middle filling up the chairs.
"Mike Shepard, Kon-El knows him somehow." Psimon says to them as he shows him a picture of Mike and Conner, Mike's arm around him both smiling. "I read it off his mind."
"Are you sure?" Lex Luthor asks him as he gets the picture from him.
"Positive, he means something to him, I felt it." Psimon says to them.
"What do we do?" Cheshire asks him.
"Take care of him." Lex says to her as he gives her the picture.
"He lives in-" Psimon starts.
Kon walks in the door. The ninjas get a little frightened.
"Relax, boys, I'm here to play not kill. Although I'd keep your voices down if I were you." Kon says to them and swings his arm up pretending to use his telekinesis power and they flinch. "Ah!" he says to him, he chuckling as he walks over to Lex. "Hi, daddy." he kisses him on the cheek and he leaves the room to the kitchen.
Lex looks around the room and everyone took a small short breath still scared. Ra's al Ghul glares at him. "Kon-el." Lex says to him, he follows him into the kitchen.
"So? Don't you need anyone dead? Or maimed? I can settle for maimed." Kon asks him smiling.
"No, and I've already told you I do not need you for that. I have Ra's al Ghul's people for that." Lex says to him. "Now I'm gonna find it hard enough to convince them to stay till the end of the meeting unless you stop threatening them to kill them."
"I was kidding." Kon says smiling innocently at him.
"You killed 8 of Ra's al Ghul men this week, so forgive me if I'm missing the joke." Lex says angry.
"Oh, dad, I'm sorry." Kon says to smirking, not meaning it.
"I know I've been working a lot. But that should lighten up soon. In the meantime no more killing." Lex says to him, Kon pouts looking away. Lex grabs his chin making him look at him. "Promise?"
"Promise." Kon says to him still pouting.
Lex lets him go. "It's hard enough for them to accept the fact that my heir is a former superhero. We don't want them to think you're playing both sides."
"I said I promise but if it'll make you feel better." Kon says to him and he goes into the dining room, they all get tense again. "Hi, um, I just wanna say that I'm really sorry for killing your friends last night." He says smiling and walks around the table and puts his hands on Cheshire's shoulders. "Oh, and, um, the night before that. And it's nothing personal, you know, it's just..." he looks down and sees the picture of Mike in her hands and she quickly puts it facing down on the table.
"Kon?" Lex asks him as he walks in the room "Are you alright?"
"Headache." Kon says to him as he looks at him. "I just need to lie down."
"Should I call Dr. Westfield?" Lex asks him.
"No, I'm fine." Kon says to them and walks away then teleports out.
"Where were we?" Lex asks them sitting down on his chair.
"Mike Shepard, Cheshire's in for the kill." Ra's al Ghul says to him.
"He spends his time at Happy Harbor high school and the HH pool." Psimon says to them. "He's a swimmer."
"Should be easy kill." Cheshire says to them.
Kon was upstairs in his room using his superhearing and sees the medicine glass by some flowers no doubt Mercy put he grumbles and picks it up about to drink it then pours it on the flowers and smiles happy. He turns away the plant as it slowly starts to die, he takes off his shirt and pants going to the closet pulling out a plain red shirt that said I flunked anger management and jeans.
…Mount Justice
"These are meant to slow him down but not do real serious harm, it's kind of like a mace." Batman says showing them a clicker giving them Artemis, Red Arrow, Zatanna, Robin, Aqualad and Kid Flash each two.
"For his Superhearing?" Red Arrow asks him.
"Yes." Batman says to him.
"Sounds reasonable I guess." Megan says as Batman gives her two.
"These are a little more lethal." Batman says as he shows them at the table in the briefing room guns not normal metal guns but leaded sealed tight-guns so Kon couldn't disassemble them, arrows and knives. "Superman helped make them-a red solar gun, gravity gun, and this one has blue kryptonite." He says picking up a knife with a blue blade.
"So you're gonna kill Conner?" Megan asks him not taking them while Artemis and Red arrow start putting the arrows in their quivers.
"Megan, he's been expose to red Kryptonite, he's killing people." Robin says to her as he puts a pocket knife in his utility belt. "If he shows up here, we'll do what we have to do to protect ourselves."
"You're not even giving him a chance." Kid Flash says to him, not taking them either standing beside Megan.
"Wally, we gave him every chance in the world to come back to us and he threw it in our faces. He chose Lex Luthor over his own family." Artemis says to him.
"Still we could-" Kid Flash starts.
Kon teleports in. "Surprise!" Kon yells out. Batman quickly grabs a blue knife and throws it towards Kon. Kon grabs it from the handle before it hits his neck, and looks at it twirling it around. "Blue Kryptonite." He uses his heat vision and it disintegrates leaving only the handle of the knife, he drops it on the floor. "Nice to see you too, Bats." He says smiling. Zatanna opens her mouth. "Don't or I'll break your throat before you say a word." He warns her she shuts up.
"What do you want?" Batman asks him.
"Oh, and here I thought you'd be happy to see me." Kon says to him smirking.
"I'm happy to see you." Megan says to him stepping up.
"Me too." Kid Flash asks him taking a step also up next to her smiling.
"Megan, Wally." Aqualad says to them.
"What?" they ask him shrugging.
The computer announces Superman and Wonder Woman they walk in seeing Kon, Batman had called them as soon as he had shown up.
"Kon-El."
"Hello big brother." Kon says to him.
"Kon, unless you're here to tell us you filed for emancipation, we don't really have much to talk about." Superman says to him.
"Oh that's not true. For instance we could talk about how self-righteous you are. It's really not a very attractive quality." Kon says to him. Batman picks up another Knife about to throw it at him.
"Wait." Kid Flash says to him turning to him blocking the shot, Batman puts the Knife by his side and Kid turns back to him. "Conner, what are you doing here?" he asks him.
Kon sighs. "We have a person to save and not a lot of time."
"That is so great." Megan says smiling, happy. She turns to them. "See, I told you." she says to them.
"Don't get excited, it's not what you think. I haven't changed my mind, I'm not leaving my father and I'm not coming back. It's just…I know this person and he means something to me."
"Uh, Conner, you're evil. You're like a supervillian, literally." Red Arrow says to him.
"That's beside the point." Kon says to him crossing his arms.
"How can that be beside the point?" Artemis asks him confused.
"I say we do it." Kid Flash says.
"What?" they ask him.
"Excuse me." Kid Flash they walk over to everyone including Megan and Superman plus Wonder woman aside. Kon sighs and rolls his eyes. "Look, this is what we've been hoping for. A sign that there's still good in him. Why else would he care about saving a person?"
"Because it's a trap." Robin says to him.
"Dick, this could be our only chance." Megan says to him.
"I think they're right. By helping him do good, it might sway him back to our side." Wonder Woman says to them.
"Fine." Batman says to them.
They turn back to Kon was playing with his red Kryptonite bracelet. "Okay, you're on, we'll teleport with you." Kid Flash says to him.
"No." Wonder Woman says to them.
"We're going. You're staying." Batman says to them.
"But-"
"Fine by me." Kon says to them and puts up his hands. "We have to be touching."
Batman grabs some more knifes and flash bombs putting them in his utility belt.
"What's that for?" Kon asks him.
"Insurance." Batman says to him.
"Hey Red, wanna come?" Kon says to him.
Red arrow looks at him. "Why?"
"It'll be fun." Kon says smirking.
Happy Harbor…HH pool
Kon ended up teleporting Superman, Wonder woman, Batman, and Red arrow.
Red Arrow looks down at his boots now muddy. "Argh, why do I always have to land in the mud." He whines a little.
"Come on, over here." Kon says as he ducks down behind a trunk in the parking lot.
"How do you know when he's gonna get attacked?" Batman asks him getting behind him, he could stab him and end everything right now, but he doesn't.
"I know." Kon says not taking his eyes off the building. Mike walks out the building. "There he is." He says to them as Mike starts walking to the bus stop across the street.
Cheshire appears behind him in the shadows. "Cheshire?" Red Arrow whispers. Kon turns to him with a small smile, Red sighs.
"I got him." Superman says to them, and superspeeds fast taking Mike away. Cheshire looks around for him confused as to where he went.
"Hey!" Red Arrow yells out pulling out his bow and arrow ready to shoot her Kon knocks him.
"Red don't!" Kon says to him, he loses his grip on the string and shoots it at a car's window.
"What are you doing?!" Red Arrow yells at him.
Cheshire takes out her Sais spinning them around ready to attack and Superman comes back ready to attack her.
"Stop." Kon says to her and Superman, he lands and looks at him. Kon walks towards her as Cheshire puts her Sais away, takes off her mask and she kneels down in front of him.
"Kon-El?" Cheshire asks him looking up at him a little confused.
Kon crunches down at her level. "Leave Mike alone. Go." He says to her, Cheshire walks away backwards putting on her mask and drops a smoke bomb disappearing into the dark. Superman, Wonder woman, Batman, and Red arrow stare at him, mouths open shocked, Kon turns to look at them. "What? She's my employee." He says smiling innocently.
"How-how-how could you do that? How could you just let her go?" Superman asks him stunned.
"I don't know why you're so upset, we saved Mike didn't we?" Kon says to him as he leans on a trucks looking at him.
"I can't talk to him." Superman sighs tired. "You talk to him." he says pointing to Wonder woman.
"Kon-" Wonder woman starts.
"Things are not as black and white as they used to be. Okay, I can't just go around putting bad guys in jail anymore."
"Why not? We heard you killed three last night." Red Arrow says to him.
"Yeah, well, that was different, he was getting on my nerves." Kon says to him, referring to his father. They look at him shocked. "I promised dad I wouldn't kill anymore. And killing Jade would've been a huge betrayal."
"Jade? You're on a first name basis with the assassins?" Red arrow asks him.
"If you were just gonna order her to stop you could've done that on your own. Why did you even come to us?" Wonder woman asks him.
"Because I missed you guys!" Kon blurts out. "Okay, is that so wrong? I missed you."
"Kon, you can't be a supervillian and a hero. You can't have it both ways." Superman says to him the most idiotic thing ever.
"Why not?" Kon asks them. "Just because it's different doesn't mean that it can't work. And you all miss me too even though I'm sure Batman probably doesn't want to admit it to himself."
"Of course we miss you, honey." Wonder woman says to him.
"Well, you can have me back." Kon says to her, then looks at Red arrow. "You can have me back. You just have to be willing to meet me half way."
"Conner, you can't save people and protect villains, it just doesn't work that way." Superman says to him.
"Apparently it does. Mike's alive isn't he?" Kon says to them.
"Yeah, but your friend Jade is gonna come back." Batman says to hm.
"You don't know that." Kon says stubbornly.
"That's what they do, Conner, they come back. They snarl and come back." Batman says to him.
"Yeah, and now we have to worry about protecting him instead of trying to save you." Red Arrow says to him, he had been acting tough, but he wanted him back just as much as Wally, Zatanna and Megan.
"You think I need saving?" Kon asks him.
"Are you kidding me? Lex Luthor has corrupted you more than you think." Superman says to him.
"Kal-" Kon says to him looking down at the floor.
"Don't Kal me. This is insane, what you are saying is insane. You cannot come back, you cannot work with us as long as you are working with Lex Luthor." Superman says to him.
"So what do you want me to do? Do you want me to leave my Father?" Kon asks them looking up.
"Yes." Batman says to him.
"That is not fair!" Kon yells at him angry and upset getting off the truck facing them.
"It's not fair, Conner, but you have to pick a side, good or evil. That's how it works. Even though it means giving up someone you love, you have to choose." Wonder woman says to him.
Kon looks at them thinking for a while. "I'm really sorry you feel that way." he says to them and turns around walking off then teleports away.
Superman sighs. "I can't do this." He says to them and flies off.
"What about Mike?!" Wonder Woman yells out.
"He's at the beach." Superman says to her and flies off fast.
"We'll get him, protect him." red Arrow says to them both.
"The league of assassins want him dead, they'll keep at it until he'd dead." Batman says to him.
"I know." Red Arrow says and walks off.
…Luthor mansion
Kon was in the basement room empty, wall covered in lead paint, no sound was heard, the lights where off, he was leaning against the wall in the corner sitting down eyes closed.
"I don't understand what you're doing." Lex says as he enters the dark room turning on the lights Kon flinches. "You're my heir."
"And you're cranky." Kon mumbles his head hurting.
"Cheshire told me what you did."
"So what, I let her go." Kon says to him not caring.
"That doesn't make it okay!" Lex yells at him.
Kon covers his ears. "Keep your voice down." He growls at him looking up at him, his eyes turning bright red, then calming down. "I have a headache." He says holding his head with his hands.
"You can't save people and protect villains, Kon, it doesn't work like that." Lex says to him.
Kon scoffs. "You sound like Kal."
"Well Kal is right." Lex says to him. "You made a choice when you stood by me. If you're questioning that choice, if you're not sure you want to be with me, you need to let me know."
"Of course I wanna be with you, I just don't understand why you have to be so rigid all the time." Kon says annoyed.
"Because I am Lex Luthor. Because you are my heir! Because there are expectations!" Lex yells at him.
Kon stands up glaring, eyes bright red again. "Do you think I care about anyone's expectations!?" he yells back angry, annoyed and upset.
"This is not a game, Kon-El." Lex says to him calmly. "You walked through a one way door. You try to turn around now they will destroy us."
"Who, my brothers?" Kon asks him still angry.
"The Light. If they think we're working both sides, they will turn on us. If they do that, if they unite against us, I promise we will pray for death."
Kon looks at him eyes turning back to normal calming down. "I'm sorry, I didn't..." he starts confused holding his head.
"I get it, Kon, I know what you're going through. It'll rip you apart if you let it."
"How do I not let it?" Kon asks him.
"You make a choice. And you stick to it, even though it's hard, even though it means giving up the people that you love." Lex says to him as he hugs him running a hand on his hair and the other one on his back, Kon sighs tired. "Let's get you to bed."
…Mount Justice
The Team was all gathered in the briefing room looking at each other waiting for them to talk. One of them to talk about what they were going to do about Conner.
"We can't lose him. Not to Luthor, it's not fair." Megan says to them.
"I've been thinking about it. Conner was different today." Dick says to them.
"Yeah, he was nuts." Roy says to him.
"Yes, but he cared, about us and about Mike. Something has changed, like the last time and I think now is our chance to get him back." Zatanna says to him.
"How?" Megan asks her.
"Well, I think we storm the mansion, Luthor is bound to have seriously precautions we get Conner to save us, before he kills us." Kaldur says to them.
"I'm sorry, you want us to walk in the lion's den? What if there's a bomb, we can't teleport out without Conner and Wally isn't fast enough to carry all of us, and he'll probably have the house on lock down, we'll be stuck." Dick says to him.
"What if Conner doesn't help?" Roy asks him.
"If he doesn't we die." Wally says to him.
"Is that supposed to be comforting?" Artemis asks him.
"Actually, yeah." Megan says to him understanding.
"The red Kryptonite is fading which is why the good in Conner is fighting to the surface, we saw that today. I don't think he's just gonna stand by and watch Luthor kill us." Kaldur tries to explain.
"Are you willing to bet your life on that?" Dick asks him.
"Aren't you?" Kaldur asks him.
…Luthor mansion
"Kon-El, it is time for your medicine." Mercy says as he walks in his room with small glass.
Kon was sitting on the bed and looks at her standing up in front of her. "What if I promise never to save anyone with them ever again? Then can I see my brothers?" he asks her desperately ignoring the medicine.
"You'll feel better after this." Mercy says showing him the small glass.
Kon sighs rolling his eyes and looks over at notices the plant he poured the last of the medicine into is dying, he walks over to it. "Oh my god, its poison." He says looking at it.
"No." Mercy says to him quickly.
"You told me it was good for me." Kon says to her his eyes turning bright red.
"It is." Mercy says backing away. "It's red Kryptonite."
"Don't lie to me!" Kon uses the power of voice making a sonic type of scream sending Mercy flying backward, crashing into the door and down the other end of the hall. She gets up quickly pressing a button by her mechanical arm, a hyper-sonic and runs away.
"You bitch!" Kon yells at her covering his ears at the same time. "Get back here!" he yells out again using his voice the windows, glass vases, glass picture frames all of them breaking. He teleports in front of her in the entrance she gasps and he swings his arm hitting her sending her flying into a wall.
"KON-EL!" Lex yells out at him walking out of a door.
"What the hell have you done to me?!" Kon yells at him glaring.
"What are you talking about?" Lex asks him.
"Did you know about the medicine?" Kon asks him, clenching his fists, showing his teeth. "Did you know it was red-"
"Kryptonite."
"So you knew she was poisoning me." Kon asks him even angrier.
"Yes. It was my idea."
"You're trying to destroy me."
"I'm trying to help you. I gave you clarity when now you have confusion. I gave you conviction where now you have pain." Lex says walk up to him.
"By taking away my will."
"Think about it. Last night you were strong, angry but now look at you. Whining, it's a weakness unbefitting of a Luthor. You choose me, long before anybody gave you anything to drink. So if you want to pretend you're being poisoned."
Kon starts to calm down his eyes now normal. "So why even bother with the medicine? Why not just let me think for myself?"
"Because I know how you feel, to have good and evil fighting inside you, ripping your insides out. I wanted to save you that pain."
"You should've trusted me to stand by you all on my own."
"So show me I can. You know what's in the medicine now, you know how it works. Drink it. All on your own." Lex says to him, Mercy comes back with a new medicine glass, this time it was a lot bigger. "I don't have time for games, Kon-El. Just drink the medicine, or leave now."
"What is going on with you? What happened?"
"What happened is you had to go and play superhero with your brother."
"Dad! It's who I am!"
"And now we're in danger, serious danger. If you don't care about your life, or mine, what about your brothers?"
"Don't you threaten them." Kon says to him glaring.
"I'm not. But the Light will, do you think whoever takes over from me will let them live? You have no idea what the Light is capable of."
Kon sighs. "I don't know what to do." he says completely confused.
"You can't go back." Lex says to him as he takes the glass. "There is only one choice. Drink the medicine. You have to know that I would never do anything to hurt you. Please. For us. For our family." he says to him as, Kon looks at it, he hesitates and then drinks the tonic in one quick mouthful swallowing it down. Lex hugs him. "I love you, Kon. Just remember whatever happens next, we can handle it as long as we stay together."
"What do you mean, whatever happens next?" Kon asks hugging him back, the red Kryptonite not having affect yet.
"I had to take care of some things."
Kon pulls away from him. "What did you do to Mike?"
"It was your mess, I was just cleaning it up."
"Dad, they're gonna come after you, they're gonna come here!" Kon says desperately.
"Well, if they do-"
"No." Kon says to him starts to leave the room.
"Kon, if it comes down to them or us-"
"Oh, god." Kon says covering his mouth and he runs into the bathroom.
"Kon-El, wait!"
Kon goes inside the bathroom, puts his hand on his stomach using his telekinesis forcing himself to throw up the medicine in the toilet. He takes a breath and goes over to the sink, he then washes his face.
"Kon." Lex says as he knocks on the door. "Kon-El?" he knocks again.
"Luthor?" Aqualad says to him.
Luthor turns around and walks back to them. "Hello children."
"Mike's alive." Kid Flash says to him.
"You failed." Megan says to him.
"Kon! He tried to kill him! He tried to kill Mike again!" Zatanna yells out to him.
Kon was still in the bathroom his back leaning against the door overwhelmed he rubs his forehead sighs. He's breathing heavily again as he shakily stands up.
"Well I guess I underestimated you." Lex says as he walks over to the door.
"You do that a lot." Robin says to him.
"Kon! Mike is hurt! He's in the hospital!" Megan yells out.
"Kon-El belongs with me, he's not going anywhere." Lex says to them, Mercy comes over with her mechanical arm out ready to shoot. "Alpha, 61532." He says and they both walk out of the house, metal, lead bars slam down sealing the place down tight.
"Kon, damn it come out here and helps us!" Robin yells out.
Kon shows up teleporting in front of them, his eyes shining red, they flinch, tense up and take a step back. He turns around to the wall waves his arm breaking down the whole wall. "Let's go." He says to them as turns and extends his hand out.
Kid Flash takes it, Miss Martian takes his, Red Arrow takes hers, Artemis takes his, Robin takes hers, Zatanna takes his, Aqualad takes hers and they teleport out.
…Mount Justice
"For a minute there I thought you had taken off without us." Kid Flash says to him.
"You had us worried." Megan says to him.
"Conner it's going to be ok." Zatanna says to him.
Kon turns to look at them. "I save your life and you think I'm all goody-goody now? Fat chance, I just hated that place, just like I hate this one."
"Conner we're your brothers!" Robin yells at him.
Kon scoffs. "What did you think we'd all go out for pizza? You tried to gut me bro." he says to him.
"You tried to kill Bruce."
"I was on red kryptonite, what's your excuse?"
"He we're just trying to help." Zatanna says to him.
"Give my love to Mike." Kon says and teleports out.
"Well that was fun." Red Arrow says.
Kid, Megan and Zatanna glare at him.
"At least we tried." Artemis says as he grabs Wally's hand.
"Not hard enough apparently." Robin says.
"I'll go tell the League what happen." Aqualad says.
…LexCorp
"Make sure you look in space." Lex Luthor says as he walks into his office followed by five people with suits and Mercy.
"Yes sir, we are currently using all of our satellites to find him." a suit says to him.
"And we're trying to locate Superman. No luck their yet sir." Another suit says.
"Looking for me?" Kon says as he spins on the chair to face them. "I'm touched."
"Kon-El, I was getting worried." Luthor says to him. "You may leave." He says to the suits, they turn and leave. "You too Mercy." She turns and leaves as well.
"You tried to kill my friend." Kon says as he gets up. "Twice." He says as picks up a letter opener drags it across the desk surface.
"How about you take your medicine, I can call Dr. Westfield."
"You mean the one with the red kryptonite?" Kon asks him. "Nah." He says to him. "I was never sick was I?"
"Yes, you were."
"It's gone you know, from my system."
"Ok." Luthor says not sure where he was going with that.
"I wanted you to know, because what I'm about to do to you is 100 percent me."
"You know, you're a lot more like me than you care to admit." Luthor says to him.
"Well, nobody's perfect." Kon says smirking playing with the letter opener as he hops up on the desk sitting.
"Kon, you have great powers. I can teach you how to use them. I can teach you how to become the most powerful weapon who ever lived."
"Oh, that's so sweet of you, Daddy." Kon says sarcastically.
"Oh, kiddo. This mortal you think you love? You can never be together."
"I know." Kon says to him as he jumps off the desk. "Did you ever love me, Daddy?"
"It wasn't easy, you know, making you, years and years of planning and failed experiments, mistake after mistake, I had almost given up hope, then you came around and survived. That's what you are, a survivor." Luthor says with a small smile. "Anyhow, love is a trick of the mind. It doesn't really exist. There's no such thing in nature. Love is something to play with instead of power. I want you to have power. I want you to be who you truly are."
"As long as I'm just like you." Kon say says as he points the letter opener at him.
"There's darkness in you. Don't you try and deny it."
"I don't." Kon shrugs. "Never have."
"Well, then claim it. Claim it and come with me, be with me. We can rule over a new world, our world. Just you and me, we can save it from itself." Luthor says to him smiling, Kon looks at him, then Luthor gets down on his knees, choking. "What are you doing?" he says unable to breathe.
"It is a new world. But it ain't all evil, and it ain't all good. But don't worry, Daddy. I'll save your world, just not with you in it."
"Kon-el, please. Don't do this, I do love you. I love you!" Luthor says struggling to breathe getting down on his side, turning slightly blue.
"You really shouldn't use words you don't understand."
"You still need me!" Luthor yells out.
"You've done enough, Daddy."
"no." Luthor barely gets out a whisper as his lips turn blue.
Suddenly a red and blue blur comes crashing in the window and heads straight for Kon slamming him against the wall. Kon looks down at a pain in his stomach bleeding, a blue kryptonite knife and looks up at the blur.
"Kal?" Kon says shocked.
"You had to be stopped."
"Nice job." Kon says as blood starts coming out of his mouth.
"I'm sorry."

Hands up if you hate my psycho Kon-El?
