[He can't just leave her hanging like that and expect her not to go; with one last verbal confirmation of her impending arrival, she shut off the phone and tucked it in her back pocket, taking to the air in search of her unusually secretive boyfriend.]
[It wasn't hard to find him. He was the one floating in mid-air.]
[Wow. She was actually thrown by the actual seriousness of this. The surprise would be apparent for all of a second. Then she simple nodded in understanding. It honestly didn't even matter which one.]
Did you warn him that using his powers will only make it worse, or are we already in trouble?
Bart was born aging at an accelerated rate. He was 12 years old when he was two. He was going to die of old age before even hitting double digits but then our Flash did something and he's aging normally, but he is still going at Flash speeds on the inside.
Which is also why he seems kind of spacey sometimes.
[In other words, he's also roughly four years old. No wonder he and Kon are bffs.
Why do I have a feeling our Food Bank just became the Bart Food Bank? And speaking of...is scavenging West even going to be enough? I know you're fond of the guy and all, but other people have to eat too sometimes.
Rose and I are taking off to East pretty much as soon as I let you, Conner and Kal know what's up. This is kind of gonna be my priority until we work something out.
[As Kon started to speak, her smile slowly faded. Wait...he...didn't want her to come? Then why--]
[Oh. Bart. That actually made a lot more sense to her now, and even though the sting of still not being openly invited hurt a little bit, she thought she understood more now.]
I get it. This is the your-world only club. [She shrugged. Even forced a smile for him. Like it wasn't any big deal.] Go. Bring me back a present. Something small will suffice.
It's not that. It's more -- I think I got to prove myself to Rose, still. But no problems there. A couple of hours in my company and she will be desperate for alternatives.
Something small. There are a lot of small things out there.
[Aw, Zee. Kon doesn't know why you're worried, only that you seem like you need a hand on your shoulder.]
Totally sure. Her codename's Ravager, right? She's not going to be subtle. Pretty sure she just wants to focus on making sure that nothing happens to I-- to Bart. [Kon's smile is wistful. Imp is gone.]

[Like he even needed to ask.]
Any special occasion or are you and the ground suddenly no longer on speaking terms?

A bit of column A, a bit of column B, you know. Also a little of column I got a favour to ask.

I'm over the food bank. Join me?

[It wasn't hard to find him. He was the one floating in mid-air.]
You rang?
no subject
I did. Thanks for joining me.

It wasn't easy. You wouldn't beleive the rearranging of my schedule I had to do to make this work.
So what are we up to this awful, Haven day?
no subject
[But Kon's expression quickly turns serious.]
Turning the foodbank up to overdrive. We got a speedster in the house and -- yeah.

What do you mean he can't turn them off?
How hard can it be to not run everywhere?

...okay, then.

We have to try. I promised Rose.

[...sun...rise? If they were going East...whatever. The joke still stood.]

[Kon glances at Zatanna. He's not sure whether he needs to apologize for that or not.]

[Still.]
Are you sure she doesn't just want to get you alone for whatever reason?
no subject
Totally sure. Her codename's Ravager, right? She's not going to be subtle. Pretty sure she just wants to focus on making sure that nothing happens to I-- to Bart. [Kon's smile is wistful. Imp is gone.]
