[Thanks for the vouch of confidence, Zee. He only doesn't say that aloud because he doesn't want to step on toes right now with his big mouth.]

I'm going in together with Kon, but there will also be a couple other people there too. One of them is a capable fighter who I trust, but the other is a kid and between the four of us Kon is still physically the strongest. We could be in very real danger if he gets possessed.

Zatanna, I'll only use it if I have to. Believe me, I know that tiny piece of rock can kill him if I'm not careful and I don't want to do that to him. But I don't want anyone else to die because of him either. I need a way to quickly neutralize him if something happens and that rock is the quickest way without a doubt.
