...Mom?

...Did Rob tell you to call me that, dude? Because I am so not the mom!

[speedforcefreak]

Oh...

No?

My mom was just here. [He looks a little upset.] My real mom. She was going to take me home with her, and now she's gone...

[the_s_kid]

Ah, crap... Ya got pulled in here right when that happened? 'm sorry, Imp. [Kon's gonna be squeezing Bart's shoulder.]

[speedforcefreak]

I don't understand what happened... Where's here? Where's my mom? What'sgoingon?

[Kon will be able to feel Bart vibrating a little from distress under his hand.]

[the_s_kid]

It's kinda a nexus... Or a meetin' place, is an easy way ta put it. [Insert more Hubsplanation, if need be.] Your mom's probably still where you were, dude.

[Which makes Kon frown some.]

[speedforcefreak]

[For a moment, Bart looks even more upset. But as he listens to Kon's explanation, it's easy to see that he's fascinated by the concept of the nexus.]

I hope she doesn't think I'm lost. WellIguessIkindofam, I hope she doesn't think she has to go looking for me...

What's there to do here in the nexus?

[the_s_kid]

Well, hopefully, when ya get back, time won't have moved that much in your world. Somebody told me that it moves different for everyone. But your mom's a smart lady, she'll be okay.

Mostly hang out with people! It's kinda cool, there's an awesome girl version of me, a couple yous, and tons of Robs...

[speedforcefreak]

Time never seems to move much.

There are other "me"s here?! Way cool! And girl-Superboy?! Howdoesthatwork? Oh! Waitdoesthatmeanthere'sagirlme?!

[the_s_kid]

Heh. Never for ya, huh, speedy?

Oh, yeah. I ran inta one of you when I first got here and heard there's a girl you. I haven't met her yet...

And girl me? Totally rad. And hot!

[speedforcefreak]

Time doesn't like speedsters.

Well, of course girl-you would be rad. [Impulse grins.]

[the_s_kid]

Girl you has ta be awesome, too! I wish she was here so we could meet her.

[speedforcefreak]

Gettin' tired of normal me already, S.B.?

[the_s_kid]

Nah, man. But ya know, girls are just... [Always on Kon's horn dog mind] awesome.

[speedforcefreak]

Uh... I guess.

[Bart doesn't really get it. But whatever!]

[the_s_kid]

It's okay, little dude. You'll understand one day. [grin]
