"Agh, what the sprock?" Flash bang. One minute, he and Superman were getting ready to head back from the 30th century so that Kon could finally rejoin his friends and family after being dead of all things, and now he's... somewhere? He flies up to get a better view. Hawaii, apparently. Though it doesn't look like it did last time he was here. And

There is someone up here.

Someone who is a four-foot-long purple bat thing. With four wings. And a cabled sweater. (Not illustrated.)

Someone who is curious about the new face.

"Bat?"

[ihavettk]

"Gah!" What the hell is that thing? Is it speaking English? "Shoo, go away!" Kon waves his hands and sends off a warning heat vision blast. He doesn't want to hurt the thing or fight it at all if he can help it. But it doesn't look like something friendly.

DDD:

"Crobat bat!"

That was not very nice!

Get confusion ray in retaliation! >:(

...I don't know anything about pokemon. I am guessing. And flipping a coin, I guess?

[ihavettk]

Kon feels something that he's pretty sure did something to his brain, and everything's sort of fuzzy. He uses his heat vision on the bat thingy, still not full power. He'd much rather just scare it away than hurt it too badly. His heat vision shouldn't do more than singe it.

Oh look. Skater boi in a black hoodie flying along beside him. On a... skate board?

The silver katana strapped to his back is only icing, really.

Rickie nods absently to the other flying teen. "Hey."

[ihavettk]

Kon glances over and gives a half wave. "Hey there. Cool board."

He's seen a lot weirder. Hell, he's seen weirder today.

[emoreaper]

"Thanks." Rickie tilts it up, to display the nifty skeletal horse painted on the bottom. "Don't find many people up here."

[ihavettk]

"Really?" Kon rolled over, floating on his side, and frowned. "That's weird. What happened to the Justice League and the Titans? I mean, a lot of us can fly!"

Stephanie is in Metropolis!

It is not the Spoiler Kon might have met; this one is close to twenty by now (she's not sure exactly) and dressed in clearly civilian clothes (even though her sweater is eggplant). But then that isn't necessarily unexpected, given that Kon's been dead for some time.

What marks her out as unusual today is that she's sitting perched quite comfortably on a gargoyle some two hundred feet in the air, swinging her legs and eating a Twinkie. It is quite possible that only a Bat could even find a gargoyle in Metropolis.

[ihavettk]

Of course, as far as Kon knows Spoiler is dead, and anyway he's never seen her face without a mask. But he can take a break from trying to find Clark or anything to go fly down and talk to the cute girl on the gargoyle.

It's dangerous up that high, after all. She might fall! And what good is it being Superboy if you can't rescue damsels in potential distress?

He draws up even with her and smiles. "Hey there. You lost?"

[i_spoiled_it]

Steph falls off the gargoyle.

Being a Bat, she catches it and manages to haul herself back up, face kind of pink. Sure, she's way older than she was and she's totally a grownup and all, but holy shit it's Superboy. She used to have a poster of him over her bed.

"... yes," she decides to answer. "I mean, no. I mean - wait - didn't Tim say you were dead?"

[ihavettk]

Kon immediately swept in to save her but oh, she had it covered. Oh well, that's probably better than saving her, even if catching falling girls sometimes leads to grateful kisses and that kind of thing.

"I was dead. Only just got bet--Tim?" Had to be a different Tim. That... liked Superboy, maybe?
