He sat in mid air standing above the water waiting for Cassie. She’d called earlier and told him she needed to talk to him about something and asked to meet in the middle of no where. He hadn’t seen much of Cassie in the aftermath of Kara’s brainwashing and death at the hands of the Eradicator. He was pretty sure Cassie blamed him for not taking her warnings about Kara acting strangely seriously.
The truth was he had taken them seriously but then he and Clark had made the mistake of trusting the robots at the Fortress when their test showed nothing wrong with Kara. They hadn’t known that the Eradicator that was controlling Kara had already taken over the Fortress robots. He could still remember the horror of watching the Prime Eradicator taking Kara with it out of spite that she had thrown off it’s mind control.
He shook his head to clear the image of that spiteful robot’s last blast that had somehow torn threw Kara despite her invulnerability. “Kon, There you are,” Cassie said dropping into view. “I know I told you I wanted to meet alone but I didn’t expect you to pick in the middle of the Pacific ocean.”
“We aren’t meeting here,” He said as he reached out and took her arm. “Just hang on.” He heard her gasp as he drug them under the water his TK forming a protective bubble of air as they dove down past various forms of Sea life.
“Kon were on earth are we going?” She asked staring out at the sea life they were passing. “Please tell me we aren’t going down into that?” She said pointing out a small canyon on the ocean floor.
“Just a little ways in,” he said and gave her a grin. “Trust me this is worth seeing,” He said and soon enough they were level with the entrance. He used his tk to form an air tight seal against it punched in the access code. “Welcome to my very own Fortress of Solitude,” He said as the door opened and he pulled her in.
He was careful to keep the air tight bubble in place until the door had resealed. “We can talk just up ahead Kara helped me build it a couple of years ago.” He admitted and watched her face cloud at the mention of Kara.
“Wow,” she said when they entered the main chamber where the yellow sun lambs let a garden grow. “Why did you ever build this place?” She asked as she turned around looking at the plants that grew here.
“I wanted a place of my own where I didn’t have to be Superboy all the time,” He said. “Clark thought I should get a secret identity but Kara helped me build this instead.” He said settling down on a bench he’d salvaged from the sight of a battle. It was badly bent in one corner but his TK had straightened it out mostly. “So what did you want to talk to me about?”
“You know how it’s been a few months since Kara died?” she asked and he nodded. “Well I know it’s kind of sudden but I’m seeing someone else now and I thought I’d tell you first.”
He was slightly thrown by that. “Do I know them?” He asked wondering who it could be. He hadn’t expected Cassie to date again this soon. He could tell by the ways he wasn’t looking at him that she was concerned about how he was taking it. “
“Again I know it’s sudden but we seem to have really connected and I know Kara wouldn’t want me to be miserable,” She said and then looked up at him. “It gets even more complicated when you consider she’s still on a team with her ex.”
“You still haven’t told me who she is,” he said patiently. “I agree that Kara wouldn’t want you to wait forever.” He didn’t mention how fast she’d moved on. That was her decision and it wasn’t his place to judge especially not considering his own personal life.
“It’s Thunder from the outsiders,” She said after a moment and he suddenly realized that the ex was Grace Choi which just made the whole situation more complicated. “I know what your thinking but I do know what I’m doing this isn’t some rebound thing for either of us.”
He privately wasn’t so sure but it wasn’t his place to tell Cassie that. “Look Cassie I may not understand but I support you,” he said repeating words she’d said to him when she found out about he and Knockout opening their relationship to include Power boy.
“Thanks for that Kon, I mean,” It she said and then stood up. “I really need to be back we are telling the Titans and Outsiders tomorrow.” He walked her back to the door and then carried her back to the surface. As he watched her fly off he once again hoped she knew what she was doing.
The End.
