I think so. I mean -- I don't even know when the last time I saw him was. I kind of vaguely remember him when I was sick but ... I don't remember a lot of what happened then to be honest.

[action]

[backwordscompatible]

So he could have gone home.

Except that's a good thing, Kon, remember? If he's home, he won't have to suffer anymore. He's safe from Yao. We want that.

[action]

[superissues]

He's still on the phone. I don't think he's gone gone. I just -- don't think he's here.

[action]

[backwordscompatible]

Then where is he?

[action]

[superissues]

[If a picture paints a thousand words, then Kon's expression right now is probably an essay entitled If I knew that, don't you think I would be bothering him? ; A thesis on the whereabouts of Conner Kent.]
.

[action]

[backwordscompatible]

[Right, right.]

Okay, so let me get this straight.

You're staying in bed, in our room, all day instead of going out and looking for him, just so you don't have to come back to our room at the end of the day and remember that he's not here because you didn't find him.

Am I missing something?

[action]

[superissues]

Well, you're giving me way too much credit for thinking for one.

[action]

[backwordscompatible]

Oh, believe me, I'm not giving you any credit for thinking on this one.

[action]

[superissues]

You know me so well, Zee.

[action]

[backwordscompatible]

We have spent a lot of time together. I might've picked up one or two things.

[action]

[superissues]

There are worse things to pick up.

[action]

[backwordscompatible]

Like you.

[Teasing, of course.]

[action]

[superissues]

Just like me.

I bet you're happy to have dodged this bullet.

[action]

[backwordscompatible]

[Magicians don't dodge bullets. They catch them in their teeth. ...make what you will of that metaphor.]

Speaking of...did you know Kal actually gave me permission to date you or Conner if I wanted to? Just up and out of nowhere.

[action]

[superissues]

[... that is one hot metaphor?]

Yeah, he said something similar to me. I threatened to give him dating advice and he retreated but man, was that weird. Definitely filing that under the words I never thought I'd hear Big Blue say.

[action]

[backwordscompatible]

Really? You too?

What do you think brought all that on? Unless he's just taking extra joys in messing with us. I wouldn't put it past him, honestly. We're bad influences.

[action]

[superissues]

Man. BB and I made plans to take him under our figurative wings and guide him, but I had no idea we were that good.

[action]

[backwordscompatible]

Which begs the question: what do we do about it?

[Translation: how much fun could we have with this?']

[action]

[superissues]

We encourage him. Obviously.

[action]

[backwordscompatible]

That would require getting out of bed.

[Or purposely staying in it until he comes looking for them. Whichever.]

[action]

[superissues]

[Silence. That is a good point, Zatanna. A very good point.

Reluctantly, Kon emerges from his blankets.]

[action]

[backwordscompatible]

[For everyone's sake, Kon, you had better be wearing pants.]

[action]

[superissues]

[Kon is not sleeping naked around a guy that sparkles (no offence, Giorno, but). Anyway, having sat up, it occurs to Kon that he probably needs to follow this by actually getting out of bed.]

I'm up.

[action]

[backwordscompatible]

I'm so proud.

Tell you what. Since it's just the two of us, want to race around the city a few times? I haven't been able to stretch my magic in days

[action]

[superissues]

That ... might actually be fun. Nothing says 'enjoyable' like 'reckless and unnecessary use of powers.' Give me five minutes to find something to wear and let's go.
