a simple cassiekara for today

instead of the bullshit homeless kon arc ft. didio being horribly sexist to cassie at the end of sb94, i posit this:

the first time cassie ever brings kon home to meet her mother is also a classic cassie "i'll ask mom's forgiveness rather than permission!" moment. kon's homeless now and the samdmarks have a spare room, so OBVIOUSLY kon can just come home with her!

what this means: helena sandsmark gets home from work and things smell like smoke and she's like oh Fuck did someone attack our house again?!?! as she frantically turns her key in the lock and opens the door. shit keeps happening! her baby has godly powers, hubris to match any greek myth, and an impulsive streak a mile wide! what manner of monster has tracked her down at home to try and kill her and wonder woman now?!

false alarm!! it's just that two teenagers did a really bad job of making stovetop mac 'n' cheese. her first impression of superboy is him up to the elbows in soap suds bc he's trying so hard to scour the burnt macaroni out of the bottom of the pot (he got too annoying about ttk and then cassie was like i bet you don't even know how to wash dishes without ttk and now it's a challenge). poor helena is jamming her key in the lock like god dammit its always something!!! and then it turns out the something is two (2) idiots squabbling in the kitchen.

kon goes deer in the headlights for 0.3 seconds, and then Immediately tries to salvage it by putting on his most charming smile (the one that always makes ma kent pinch his cheeks) and going, "hi, good afternoon doctor sandsmark! awesome to meet you properly! you look lovely today!" and cassie just Immediately starts smacking him on the shoulder with a soapy sponge like STOP. do NOT try to charm my mother STOP that RIGHT NOW.

unfortunately for cassie, helena is already slightly charmed, purely by the fact that superboy is superboy and not, like, a gorgon with a yellow power ring and a vendetta against zeus. he seems very polite. cassie, on the other hand, haven't we talked about you bringing guests home without telling me?

and cassie throws up her hands incredulously while kon snickers at her. and then she remembers why kon is here and goes, "but moooommmm, he doesn't have anywhere to go! the place he was living at got blown up in the war!" with her biggest saddest eyes, like she's just brought home a stray puppy and desperately wants to keep him. mom pleaaaaase??? we have a spare room cuz diana moved out...

cassie elbows kon pointedly. he stops snickering and also puts on his big sad puppy eyes as he's been instructed. helena has built up some immunity to cassie's big ol begging eyes but the combination of both of them? what's a poor mom to do. superboy can stay the night, of course, that's fine. cassie, if you let him put his shoes on the couch, you are cleaning the upholstery. ("i would never!" superboy gasps innocently, like a liar.) (cassie starts smacking him with the sponge again. STOP sucking up to her mom so blatantly that's CRINGE!!!!!)

and helena will do her best to get in touch with superman about this, but neither kon nor cassie know about that until superman himself shows up a day or two later. for the moment helena just has to resign herself to the fact that this is her circus, and her monkey has brought a second monkey home. guess she needs to go buy some bananas.

Working on something…

When I show up to the ‘Tim Drake’s Biggest Fan’ competition but Dick Grayson is already there:

Batman: Gates of Gotham #3

here-there-be-drag0ns

plotline they didn't utilize in Superboy 94 or yj98 (as far as ive read) but which could have been sooooo interesting if they did? kon think he was just too Built Different 😎 for Westfield's command codes to take, but finding out actually he was wrong the hard way. (cause bringing up those codes way back in issue 1 absolutely could have served as the perfect setup. like, "hey heres an innocuous detail that Doesnt Matter ☺️ Dont Worry About It ☺️ - oh would you look at that! chekovs gun is aimed right at kon isnt that funny!" yknow?)

and sure westfield is dead, but a very common plot ive been seeing in these comics is people thinking their sensitive information is destroyed or super-secure, but someone who definitely shouldnt have it and intends to use it for evil got their hands on it. some asshole absolutely could have heard about/been sold/stumbled across superboy's command codes and used him as a weapon

and at some point suddenly some asshole 'antagonist of the arc' calls a command code on him and its. its not that hes trapped in his own body, and its not that he blacks out, its more like,,, like kons Kon Thoughts drop away and the only thing in his head is the command objective and carrying it out. like its kon but its not kon. and as soon as the objective is completed or someone breaks him out of it its like gauze getting pulled away from his brain and hes instantly hit by the full understanding of what he just did and the guilt and the terror and the horror at what just happened

kon being commanded to turn on his friends and attack them and break them. getting pulled out of it through joint effort of bart n cassie just seconds before he was about to kill tim. kon immediately feeling the horror wash over him at the blood on his hands and his friends' face and body and the way bart is limping (he heals so fast he shouldnt be limping oh god kon fucked him up so bad) and cassies arm is hanging weird and shes covered in blood and bruises (shes nearly as invulnerable as he is oh god oh god oh god) and tim beneath him is black and blue and bloody and wheezing from a few broken ribs and the bruises ringing his throat and theres blood pouring down his face from a cut on his temple and he was only barely still weakly scrabbling at kons wrists when cassie and bart snapped him out of it,,,, and kon immediately scrambles backward off of tim and is sick,, and when hes finally stopped gagging he falls apart into awful heaving sobs and "oh fuck im sorry- im so sorry- i didnt- i couldnt- oh fuck-"

ugh just the furthering push of the themes of like. kon has been dehumanized and had his autonomy stripped from him from literally day one, and he tries and tries and tries to fight and claw and scrap for personhood and independence and recognition and connection and every time hes finally getting somewhere, some fucker comes along to tear him back down again no matter how hard he tries. just the terror that his actions weren't his own, that he was taken over that easily with just a few spoken words, that the potential for this to happen was ingrained into him by someone before he even had a chance at refusing it or fighting back against it. someone did this to him, and now he's reaping the consequences of someone elses actions over which he had no control.
